Will I be 100% hair free after laser hair removal?

No. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to guarantee that you will be 100% hair free forever. Most clients experience between 70 – 90 % hair reduction in the amount of hair in a given area after between four to eight treatments, and the remaining hair is usually finer and lighter in colour, which is acceptable for most of the clients.

The Cutera CoolGlide Difference?

The Cutera CoolGlide is the best laser hair removal system on the
market for all skin types and tones, from light to dark, including
tanned patients. Its unique design, longer wavelength, and
innovative cooling design, allow extremely effective, safe and
permanent results.

What areas can be treated with the CoolGlide system?

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 hair removal 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 laser hair removal treatments will I need?

Most areas require 3-6 treatments. However, the number of
CoolGlide treatments required for optimal long-term benefits
depends on multiple factors – hair thickness, the area treated and
your hair’s growth cycle. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively
growing at the same time and actually go through three distinct
phases: growth, regression, and resting. CoolGlide treatments 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 laser hair removal 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 regrowth 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 tweeze your
hair, but it is permissible to shave.

Are there any restrictions on my activity after laser hair removal treatment?

Following the treatment, you can return to your normal activities
right away, but some redness may occur. The use of sunscreen is
recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. In addition,
your technician 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 of laser hair removal?

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. Consult with our certified technicians
for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.

How does the CoolGlide compare with other laser hair removal methods?

Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods
which must be repeated on a frequent basis. The CoolGlide offers
permanent hair reduction for lasting results.

How does the 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, the CoolGlide effectively treats an area in just
seconds that would take over an hour with electrolysis.

Why choose CoolGlide over other laser hair removal systems?

Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, the CoolGlide can
rapidly treat large areas without the limitations of older technologies. The
CoolGlide 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, the CoolGlide 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.

Do you have qualified laser hair removal experts?
