Cynosure equipment: what to know before you buy
Cynosure Lutronic now sells both the Cynosure and Lutronic product lines. All four of its systems in our catalog have full profiles: the Elite iQ for laser hair removal, Genius for RF microneedling, PicoSure Pro for pigment, skin revitalization and tattoo removal, and LaseMD ULTRA, Lutronic’s 1927 nm thulium laser. Check the generation before comparing quotes, then ask who provides training and service in your area.

- Confirm local training and serviceWith two product lines under one company, ask who trains your staff and who services the system in your area.
Cynosure devices by service
Laser hair removal
Compare wavelength, cooling and service support against your patient mix and appointment capacity.
Tattoo & picosecond lasers
A platform name does not tell you which wavelengths or fractional handpieces are included.
Resurfacing & texture
Separate ablative, non-ablative and hybrid technologies before comparing their prices.
RF microneedling
Compare the exact workstation, tips and clinical support behind each RF microneedling offer.
Common questions about Cynosure equipment
Are Cynosure and Lutronic the same company?
Yes. They combined and now sell both lines as Cynosure Lutronic, which is why Genius and LaseMD ULTRA, first sold under the Lutronic name, now sit in Cynosure’s catalog. See the Genius and LaseMD ULTRA profiles.
Does Cynosure still sell Potenza?
Cynosure sold Potenza in the US, but its site now promotes Genius, and Jeisys sells Potenza directly. See the Potenza profile.
Is PicoSure Pro different from PicoSure?
FDA summaries from 2021 and 2026 report no technological changes from the original PicoSure, and Cynosure says the Pro has the same parameters. See the PicoSure Pro profile.
