Precision Offers Permanent Hair Reduction
|
The CoolGlide can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, legs,
arms, underarms, and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest, areola,
and bikini line.
What do CoolGlide treatments feel like?
As the name implies the CoolGlide handpiece cools and soothes as it glides along
your skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild
pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically
required; however, some patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when
sensitive areas are treated.
How many treatments will I need?
Most areas require 4-8 treatments depending on the person. However, the number of
CoolGlide treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple
factors - hair thickness, the area treated and your hair's growth cycle. Interestingly, not
all hairs are actively growing at the same time and actually go through three distinct
phases: growth, regression, and resting. CoolGlide treatments work by disabling the
hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Treated hairs
may disintegrate upon treatment or can take up to 3 weeks to fall out. Other hairs will
enter an active growth phase at different times and additional treatments may be
necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.
What happens after the treatment?
Immediately following your CoolGlide treatment, the area may appear a bit red and
swollen. Three to seven days after the treatment you may experience what seems to
be regrowth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your
treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your
hair, but it is permissible to shave.
Are there any restrictions on my actively after treatment?
Following the treatment, you can return to your normal activities right away, but some
redness may occur. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas
exposed to the sun. In addition, your laser practitioner may recommend that you use a
special formulated skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regimen especially
formulated for your skin type.
What are the possible side effects?
Although patients experience few side effects, the most commonly noticed are slightly
reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically
last for several hours or less. In rare instances blistering may occur. Consult with your
laser practitioner for complete information on the benefits and risk of treatment.
How does the CoolGlide compare with other hair removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be
repeated on a frequent basis. The CoolGlide offers permanent hair reduction for
lasting results.
How does the CoolGlide compare with electrolysis?
Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. By delivering light
energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time, the CoolGlide effectively treats an area in
just seconds that would take over an hour with electrolysis. Our clinic performs
electrolysis to only clients requesting to permanently remove white, gray, light blond, or
light red hairs.
Why choose CoolGlide over other laser hair removal systems?
Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, the CoolGlide can rapidly treat large
areas without the limitations of older technologies. The CoolGlide longer wavelength
allows it to be used safely and effectively on patients with light or dark skin as well as
tanned skin. Unlike other systems, the CoolGlide can treat the fine hair on a woman's
upper lip just as easily and effectively as the coarse hair on a man's back. The cooled
handpiece increases patient comfort and minimizes the adverse skin reaction
commonly seen with other lasers.
