The CoolGlideTM 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 wavelength, and innovative cooling design allow extremely effective, safe and permanent results. What areas can be treated with CoolGlide Systems? 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 bere-growth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment, and are not re-growing. Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.

What are the possible side effects? Although patients experience few side effects, the most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling o the skin, similar to a sunburn. 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. |

|
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 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.
