Advanced Technology for Smoother Skin

Unlike traditional hair removal methods such as shaving or waxing, laser hair removal with the Cutera XEO offers smoother skin. There is significantly reduced hair regrowth over time. The system is versatile and can be used to treat multiple areas of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini line, and back. Most treatments involve minimal downtime and few side effects. This allows patients to return quickly to normal activities.

Laser Hair Removal Safe and Effective for All Skin Types

One of the key advantages of the Cutera XEO system is its Nd:YAG laser technology. It allows for deeper penetration and safe, effective treatment of darker skin tones and a variety of hair textures. This makes it a reliable option for patients who may not be candidates for other laser systems. While no studies demonstrate that one laser platform is significantly superior to others, the Cutera XEO remains a clinically proven and widely trusted technology.

Expected Results and Treatment Course

Most patients notice a reduction in hair growth after just a few laser hair removal sessions, with continued improvement throughout a full treatment series. On average, patients may see a 10–25% reduction after the first treatment, with cumulative results over time. Even after multiple treatments, some hair regrowth can occur; however, regrown hair is typically finer and lighter. Hair reduction on the face can be less predictable than on body areas with longer growth cycles.

Comfort and Maintenance Treatments

The Cutera XEO features an integrated cooling system that enhances patient comfort during treatment. We recommend maintenance sessions once or twice per year to maintain optimal laser hair removal results. These touch-up treatments help sustain long-term hair reduction. They also manage any regrowth that may occur. We have additional information about laser hair reduction on our website.

Additional Skin Benefits and Experience

In addition to laser hair removal, the Cutera XEO platform can treat sun damage and hyperpigmentation using the LimeLight® treatment handpiece. The system is also used for Pearl, Pearl Fractional and Pearl Fusion procedures.
