All About Our Cynosure Apogee Elite Technology

Why We Use the Cynosure Apogee Elite Laser—And How Our LaserSafe Technology Makes It Even Safer

At LaserAway, we’re proud to offer the most advanced laser hair removal treatments available—and it all starts with the technology behind our lasers. We use the Cynosure Apogee Elite, a medical-grade, dual-wavelength system that delivers safe, effective, and customized results for patients of all skin tones. And now, with our exclusive LaserSafe Solution, we’ve made our treatments even smarter and safer.

Here’s what makes our laser system different—and why it’s trusted by patients nationwide.

Dual-Wavelength Technology for All Skin Tones

The Cynosure Apogee Elite features two wavelengths of laser energy:

  • Alexandrite (755 nm): Ideal for treating lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III).
  • Nd:YAG (1064 nm): Safe and effective for all skin tones, including deeper complexions (Fitzpatrick IV–VI).

This dual-wavelength system allows our clinicians to personalize each treatment based on a patient’s unique skin type and hair color. Unlike older single-wavelength lasers, the Apogee Elite gives us the flexibility to adjust for both safety and optimal results—ensuring that every patient receives a treatment plan tailored just for them.

We rely on the Nd:YAG wavelength as our universal safety foundation. It penetrates deeper into the skin with lower melanin absorption, making it the gold standard for safely treating deeper skin tones without risking pigmentation issues or burns.

How Our LaserSafe Solution Protocols Enhance Your Safety

Laser hair removal is most effective when it’s consistent, precise, and matched to your skin tone. That’s why every Cynosure Apogee Elite laser at LaserAway is powered by the LaserSafe Solution—a unique safety approach combining Cynosure’s cutting-edge software and the clinical expertise of our experienced medical team.

Here’s how the LaserSafe Solution works to enhance your safety at every step:

  • Every treatment starts with Nd:YAG. The system automatically defaults to the Nd:YAG wavelength—the safest option for all skin tones—so each session begins with the most conservative, skin-safe setting.
  • Alexandrite is only activated by your clinician. This wavelength, designed for lighter skin tones, can only be manually selected by one of our trained clinicians—ensuring intentional, skin-appropriate use.
  • Built-in safety resets. If the laser is idle, in standby, or the handpiece is changed, the system resets to Nd:YAG. This smart safeguard helps reduce the risk of incorrect wavelength use between treatments or during device transitions.

By combining advanced automation with real clinical oversight, the LaserSafe Solution helps us deliver laser hair removal that’s safer, smarter, and more personalized—for every body and every skin tone.

Comfort with Every Pulse: SmartCool Technology

Laser hair removal should be as comfortable as it is safe and effective. That’s why the Cynosure Apogee Elite is also equipped with SmartCool—an advanced cooling system that delivers a continuous stream of cold air before, during, and after each laser pulse.

This cooling action helps minimize any discomfort during your session while also playing a key role in protecting your skin from potential thermal damage caused by the laser’s heat. By keeping the skin’s surface cool and comfortable, SmartCool helps reduce the risk of side effects and allows for quicker recovery times. 

Built-In Safety Meets Clinical Expertise

We’ve always believed in going above and beyond for patient safety. In addition to our LaserSafe Solution, every laser system at LaserAway is inspected in person each month by our dedicated laser engineers. These regular checkups ensure each device is running at peak performance and fully compliant with our clinical safety protocols.

Trusted by Patients Nationwide

Whether you’re new to laser hair removal or continuing a treatment plan, you can feel confident knowing that our technology is built around your skin’s needs. With the Cynosure Apogee Elite and our exclusive LaserSafe Solution, every LaserAway treatment is designed to deliver results that are both safe and effective—for every skin tone, every time.
