FOR MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL SKIN TONES AND TYPES

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 wavelength and innovative cooling design allow extremely effective, safe, 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, Dr. Kelada-Sedra may recommend that you use a specially formulated skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regiment especially formulated for your skin type.

What are the possible side effects?
Although patients experience few side effects, the most commonly noticed are slight 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. Please feel free to consult with our office 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.
