The CoolGlide Difference
CoolGlide systems are by far the more superior laser hair removal
systems
on the market for all skin tones, from light to dark, including tanned
patients.
This unique design, longer wavelength, and innovative cooling allows
for
extremely effective, safe and permanent results.
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. The CoolGlide laser offers
permanent hair reduction for lasting results.
Why
choose CoolGlide lasers over other laser hair
removal systems?
Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, CoolGlide laser
systems
can treat large areas without the limitations of older technologies.
The
CoolGlide systems longer wavelength allows it to be used safely and
effectively on patients with all skin types as well as tanned skin.
Unlike
other systems CoolGlide lasers can treat the fine hair on a womans
upper
lip just as easily and effectively as the coarse hair on a mans back.
The
cooled handpiece increases patient comfort and minimizes the adverse
skin reactions commonly seen with other hair removal systems.

Preparation Guidelines
- For your consultation it is necessary for you to have one to
two days growth so that the areas that require treatments are
easily recognizable. However, prior to a treatment we ask that
you shave the area the evening before or morning prior to your
treatment. Should this be a difficult area to shave by yourself
please advise when booking a treatment so that we can allow for
time to shave the area for you.
- For hair removal on the face, please do not use (or make sure
you wash off all) makeup prior to treatment.
- If you are currently on medication Accutane, Roaccutane or
Gold Therapy or have been in the past 6 months, please let us
know. This medication can make your skin more susceptible to damage
from the laser.
- Generally, it is best to wait 4 - 8 weeks between treatments
depending on what areas you are going to have treated. There is
no advantage to rescheduling your visits closer together even
if you do not see immediate results. The laser only targets hair
in the growth phase. The next growth phase will be in 4 - 8 weeks.
What to expect after laser hair removal treatments
- Avoid bathing or washing with very hot water. Use tepid water.
You may feel like you have a mild to moderate sunburn. Minor crusting
or minor peeling of the surface layers of the skin is not unusual.
Post treatment you are required to apply Post Laser Gel twice
daily. This assists with reducing redness and inflammation of
the skin.
- Keep the area clean. Wash gently.
- Avoid direct sun exposure after your treatment. If you do go
in the sun, protect
the treated area with a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
- Do not shave the treated area for at least 4 days after a treatment.
Do not wax,
thread, pluck, bleach the hair that grows back. After laser treatment,
hair may
continue to grow out as if it were never even treated. Typically
this will occur
for about 2 weeks and then these hairs will simply begin to fall
out.
- Avoid any irritating medications or chemicals, particulary on
the face. Examples
of these are Retin A, Benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid or astringents.
- Avoid exercise for 24 hours after your treatments.
