MANUFACTURER NOTES
Cynosure Apogee 40 Applications:
- Laser hair removal
- Spider veins
- Pigmented lesions
- Wrinkle reduction
- Vascular lesions
The Cynosure Apogee 40 alexandrite laser broke ground in the market for laser hair removal devices. When you look under the hood, you can see that the Apogee 40 is still the basis for Cynosure’s world-renowned Elite line of hair removal devices.
During a typical hair removal treatment, blood vessels and melanin in the follicle of the hair absorb light from the Apogee 40. The light heats the follicle, damaging it. Successive treatments render the follicle too impaired to produce new hair. The light that damages the hair follicle, however, does not damage the surrounding tissue. Instead, the Apogee 40 treatments leave smooth, clear, healthy skin.
Treatments can target virtually any area of the body, on men as well as women, and most patients can expect permanent hair loss after a full course of treatments administered with the Apogee 40.
With over 14 devices on the market, Cynosure has one of the most comprehensive portfolios of aesthetic medical lasers in the world. The company has enjoyed its lofty market position for over 20 years, and it owns 37 U.S. patents. The Apogee 40 has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance to be marketed as a treatment for leg vein and hair removal.
