The Coolglide system presents a revolution in
hair removal. Using technology beyond that of other lasers, the
Coolglide can disable hundreds of hair follicles in less than
one second, and promises long-lasting results for all skin types.
Our Coolglide hair removal system is cleared for
permanent hair reduction. It is a non-invasive laser specially
designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body.
The Coolglide system generates intense, long pulsed laser light
through an actively-cooled hand piece. The laser effectively disables
unwanted pigmented hair follicles, thus impairing their growth.
The lasers' cold hand piece is placed gently on the skin and glides
along as pulses of light are delivered from the laser. When the
light penetrates the skin, it selectively damages the root of
the unwanted hair.
The
Coolglide can remove hair from all parts of the body including
the face, legs, arms, underarms, and back,
as well as sensitive areas like the chest, areole, and bikini
line.
What About Side Effects?
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin,
similar to a sunburn, may occur in some patients. These effects
last twenty-four hours or less. In rare instances, blistering
may occur. Consult with your laser technician for complete information
on the benefits and risks of treatment.
Does Skin Color Make a Difference?
With Coolglide's unique design we have the flexibility
to treat all skin types. Now even sun tanned patients or those
with darker pigmentation may be treated. Patients with fair skin
respond the best.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
The number of treatments you may require for optimal
long-term benefits depend on the area you wish to have treated,
the hair density and your hairs' growth cycle. Your hair grows
in cycles and many factors influence its growth. Age, ethnicity,
weight, hormones, diet, medication and metabolism all play a part
in your hairs' location, thickness and resilience.
Are There Any Restrictions on My Activity After
Treatment?
After
your treatment you can return to your normal activities immediately.
Your technician
may recommend that you use mild skin care products. The use
of sun screen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to
the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit
your sun exposure.
How Does Coolglide Compare With Other Hair Removal
Methods?
Shaving,
waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which
must be repeated on a frequent basis. Hair removal
with Coolglide offers longer lasting and permanent results.
How Do Coolglide Treatments Compare With Electrolysis?
Electrolysis
is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting
needle into each follicle and
delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time.
Electrolysis often requires years of treatment at regular intervals.
Coolglide delivers non-invasive light energy to hundreds of hair
follicles at one time. In just a few minutes, Coolglide can effectively
treat an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis.
What Are Coolglide Treatments Like?
Coolglides' hand piece, as the name implies, cools
and soothes your skin as it glides along. When the pulse of light
is delivered, some patients experience a mild stinging or pinching
sensation.
