Is it Permanent?
The laser that we use is called the Coolglide this particular laser is cleared by the FDA for Permanent Hair reduction. The FDA defines permanent hair reduction as the long term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime. Treatment results do vary among patients.
What does it feel like?
The laser treatments may feel like a mild sensation for a fraction of a second. It has a built-in cooling tip that not only helps to protect the skin but also helps to minimize discomfort.
What areas of the body can be treated?
All areas except for the area immediately around the eye. Common areas are face, legs, arms, underarms and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest, nipples and bikini line.
How long do the treatments take?
An upper lip and chin can be treated in 5 to 10 minutes. Underarms or bikini lines usually take 15 to 20 minutes. Legs and backs take longer. Very often, follow – up treatments are shorter because there is much less hair to treat.
How many treatments are necessary?
This is very important to understand. Hair goes through 3 stages of development. Typically in the anagen stage, the hair will respond more effectively to treatment. At any given time, only one third of human hair is in the anagen stage. For this reason, it is necessary to treat an area at least 3 times with the treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart in order to see the best and longest lasting results. Most people on average require 4 to 6 treatments for maximum response and the best long-term results.
What should I expect after a treatment?
There is often no immediate change. However, sometimes the treated area may be slightly red for a short period of time.
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 treats an area in just seconds that would take over an hour with electrolysis.
