The CoolGlide Difference:
As the name implies, the CoolGlide hand piece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. By utilizing this system, permanent reduction of unwanted facial and body hair is possible and safe on all skin tones (including tanned skin). Its unique design, longer wavelength, and innovative cooling technology allow for extremely effective, safe and permanent results. It allows us to comfortably treat large areas without the limitations of older technologies.
What areas can be treated with CoolGlide systems?
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, nipples, and bikini line.
What do CoolGlide laser treatments feel like?
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, which is an appropriate reaction. The CoolGlide’s cooling mechanism protects your skin through the treatment. Some hair will fall out immediately while the rest will shed over the course of about a week. 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.
How does CoolGlide 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 effectively treats an area in just seconds that would take hours with electrolysis.
