Elite iQ Laser

What is Elite iQ Laser?

The Elite iQ Laser is a cutting-edge, versatile laser treatment system that addresses many skin concerns, including rosacea. It employs advanced technology to deliver precise, targeted treatments that effectively reduce the appearance of redness and blood vessels associated with rosacea. The Elite iQ Laser stands out for its ability to customize treatments according to the specific needs and skin types of individuals, making it a highly personalized approach to skin care.

How Does Elite iQ Laser Work?

Elite iQ Laser uses an innovative technology that effectively targets and collapses the blood vessels responsible for the redness and flushing linked with rosacea without harming the surrounding skin. This process reduces the visible symptoms of rosacea and helps prevent flare-ups, offering short-term and long-term relief. 

The Elite iQ Laser emits light of a specific wavelength into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigmented blood vessels. The heat generated from the light causes the blood vessels to collapse and get gradually reabsorbed by the body, leading to a clearer, more even complexion.

  • Rosacea treatment

    Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that predominantly affects the face, causing redness and visible blood vessels, often accompanied by small, red, pus-filled bumps. The cause of rosacea is still unknown and it may flare up for a period of weeks to months and then diminish for a while.

    Elite iQ’s gentle, effective laser can reduce the redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea, improving the overall complexion and boosting self-confidence.

  • Getting rid of unwanted hair can be time-consuming and expensive.For those tired of constant waxing, shaving, plucking, tweezing, —all are temporary fixes for unwanted hair. With our laser hair removal treatments, you can quickly and easily reduce unwanted hair on your body or face with longer lasting results.

    Elite iQ offers a solution. The laser targets hair follicles, disrupting growth and resulting in permanent hair reduction. Elite iQ treatments can be performed almost anywhere on the body, including the face, chest, back, underarms, bikini area and legs.

  • Hyperpigmentation refers to a condition where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color. It can be caused by sun damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries, including those related to acne.

    Hyperpigmentation of all forms can be addressed using Elite iQ’s advanced laser technology, which targets and breaks up the excess pigment to even out skin tone. Sun spots, freckles, melasma, birthmarks and more can all be safely treated.

    Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are small, dark areas on the skin, commonly appearing on the face, hands, and other areas frequently exposed to the sun. They typically develop in people with a lighter skin complexion and are associated with aging and excessive sun exposure.

    Elite iQ is an effective tool for age spot removal, targeting the pigment and breaking it up, allowing your body to naturally clear away the pigment particles and reduce the appearance of these signs of aging.

  • Sun exposure, lifestyle habits and genetics can all result in skin appearing uneven, dull and damaged. To combat this, we perform laser skin resurfacing–a comprehensive skin rejuvenation technique that directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin, removing skin layer by layer. It can address wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other skin irregularities, while stimulating collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.

    As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, leading to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Factors such as sun exposure, environmental pollutants, and lifestyle choices can further exacerbate these changes.

    To firm up loose skin, the Elite iQ system emits a precise wavelength of light that penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, targeting the collagen and elastin fibers. The heat generated by the laser causes these fibers to contract and tighten, while also stimulating the production of new collagen. This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

  • Telangiectasias, are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin, often appearing red, purple, or blue. They’re commonly found on the nose, cheeks, chin and resemble the structure of a spider’s web or branches of a tree. 

    Other types of vascular lesions include hemangiomas, which are benign, bright red birthmarks that appear at birth or in the first or second week of life, and port wine stains, which are a type of flat, pink, red, or purple mark that appears at birth, usually on the face, arms, or legs. These vascular lesions are caused by abnormal blood vessels in and under the skin.

    Elite iQ can effectively treat spider veins and other vascular lesions, reducing their appearance or eliminating them entirely with its precision laser technology.


  • Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, and they’re primarily caused by a combination of factors. Over time, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, which provide the skin with firmness and flexibility. Additionally, repeated facial expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting can lead to the formation of wrinkles over time. Environmental factors, such as sun exposure and smoking, can also accelerate wrinkle formation by damaging the skin and promoting premature aging.

    Elite iQ treatment promotes the creation of new collagen, helping to plump and smooth the skin, resulting in a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
