HAIR REMOVAL
Now men and women are making unwanted facial and body hair a thing of the past,
thanks to CoolGlide ® laser systems. No more painful waxing, electrolysis or
razors! CoolGlide laser systems deliver 21st century technology for treatment of
this distressing problem. Cleared for permanent hair reduction, CoolGlide lasers
can treat men and women of all skin tones safely and effectively. Even patients
with a suntan.
The CoolGlide Difference
CoolGlide systems are the best laser hair removal systems on the market for all
skin tones, from light to dark, including tanned patients. Their unique design,
longer wave length, and innovative cooling design allow extremely effective,
safe and permanent results.
What areas can be treated
with CoolGlide systems?
The CoolGlide Laser System 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, nipples, and bikini line.
What do CoolGlide laser
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 3-6 treatments, but the number of CoolGlide treatments you
may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on various factors such as
your hair's thickness, the area treated, and your hair's growth cycle.
Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time, but actually
go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. CoolGlide
systems work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth
phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth
phase at different times, 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 treatment you may experience what seems
to be re growth 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 activity after treatment?
Following the treatment, you can return to your normal activities right away.
However, since some redness may occur, you may want to plan your work or social
engagements accordingly. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated
areas exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit your sun
exposure. In addition, your provider may recommend that you use a specially
formulated skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regimen especially
formulated for your skin type.
What are the possible side
effects?
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn may occur
in some patients. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In
rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for
complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
How do CoolGlide
lasers compare with other hair removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be
repeated on a frequent basis. CoolGlide lasers offer permanent hair reduction
for lasting results.
How do CoolGlide lasers
compare with Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that involves inserting
a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge
to them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at
regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a
time, CoolGlide lasers effectively treat an area in just seconds that would take
over an hour with electrolysis.
Why choose CoolGlide lasers
over other laser hair removal systems?
Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, CoolGlide Laser Systems can
rapidly treat large areas without the limitations of older technologies. The
CoolGlide system's 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, CoolGlide lasers 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.
