Why Unwanted Hair Happens
Hair growth is primarily influenced by hormones called androgens, which regulate hair concentration and distribution throughout the body.
Excess or unwanted hair can be caused by:
• Genetics
• Hormonal changes (PCOS, pregnancy, menopause)
• Medications
• Aging
• Naturally higher androgen levels
For women, facial or body hair growth can feel especially frustrating. For men, dense back, shoulder, or chest hair can affect confidence. No matter the cause, there is a safe, effective long-term solution.
Elite iQ™ Laser Hair Removal
At Posh Medical, we use Elite iQ™ — one of the most advanced laser hair removal systems available.
What Makes Elite iQ™ Different?
Elite iQ™ features the Skintel® Melanin Reader™, the first and only FDA-cleared melanin reader. Before treatment, it measures your skin’s melanin level in real time, allowing us to fully customize your settings for:
• Maximum safety
• Optimal effectiveness
• All skin tones (light to dark)
Older laser systems couldn’t safely treat darker skin tones. Elite iQ™ can.
How It Works
The laser targets melanin in the hair follicle. Light energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle’s ability to regrow hair.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to target follicles during their active growth phase.
Over time:
• Hair grows back finer and lighter
• Density decreases significantly
• Many follicles stop producing hair altogether
Areas We Treat
Elite iQ™ can treat nearly any area of unwanted hair, including:
Face: upper lip, chin, jawline, sideburns
Underarms
Arms
Chest and back
Abdomen
Legs (full or partial)
Bikini and Brazilian
And more
What to Expect
Treatment is quick and comfortable. Most patients describe a mild snapping sensation — far more tolerable than waxing.
Sessions typically take:
• A few minutes for small areas
• 20–30 minutes for larger areas
There is no downtime. You can return to work, exercise, and normal activities immediately.
Most patients require 3–6 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. You’ll notice reduction after each treatment.
After completing your series, results are long-lasting. Any regrowth is typically finer and minimal, requiring only occasional maintenance.
The Long-Term Benefit
Laser hair removal is not just about convenience. It reduces:
• Razor burn
• Ingrown hairs
• Skin irritation
• Daily grooming time
• Lifetime hair removal costs
Over time, consistent laser treatments can dramatically simplify your routine and eliminate the constant cycle of shaving and waxing.
