CoolGlide Laser Hair Removal
CoolGlide is a laser hair removal technology that uses a specific wavelength of light to remove unwanted hair. It is known for its ability to work on a wide range of skin tones and hair types, including those that are typically more difficult to treat. Hair removal works best when there is color in the hair. People with light and/or red hair may see only moderate improvement and may need a gretaer number of treatment sessions. Dark hair responds best and white hair will not respond at all.
Treatment results may vary among clients. CoolGlide 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. It is safe and non-invasive.
CoolGlide laser hair removal works by emitting a specific wavelength of light that targets the pigment in the hair follicle. The heat generated by the laser damages the follicle, inhibiting its ability to produce new hair. The treated hair falls out over time, leaving the skin smooth and hair-free.
The laser treatment may feel like a mild sting for a raction of a second. It has a built-in cooling tip that not only helps to protect the skin but also helps to minimize the discomfort.
CoolGlide laser hair removal can be used on most areas of the body, including the face, arms, underarms, legs, chest, back, and bikini area.
An upper lip and chin can be done in 5-10 minutes. Underarms or bikini lines usually take 15-20 minutes. Legs and backs take longer, up to an hour. Very often, follow-up tratements can be shorter, because there is much less hair to treat.
It’s crucial to understand that hair undergoes three developmental stages, and it’s the anagen stage in which hair responds most effectively to treatment. Unfortunately, only one-third of human hair is usually in this stage at any given time. Consequently, a minimum of five treatments is necessary, and up to ten treatments may be required to treat an area thoroughly. By the 6th or 7th treatment, you will have removed roughly 75% of your hair. It’s your decision where your comfort level lies. The number of CoolGlide laser hair removal sessions required varies depending on the person and the treatment area. Generally, most people will require between 6-8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve significant res
While there may be some discomfort during the treatment, many people report CoolGlide laser hair removal as being less painful than other hair removal methods like waxing or electrolysis. The cooling feature of the CoolGlide device can help to minimize discomfort.
There is typically no downtime after CoolGlide laser hair removal. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, although it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for a few days
CoolGlide laser hair removal is generally deemed safe as long as it’s administered by a licensed and experienced professional. As with any medical procedure, there is a possibility of mild and infrequent side effects and risks. Following the procedure, the laser may leave tiny red marks on the skin, which will disappear within a few hours. It’s also common to not notice any immediate difference after the treatment. Typically, the hair that has been treated will start to fall out after 3-4 weeks, and sometimes it may become darker and thicker before shedding. It’s important to understand that it’s normal to not see any obvious changes after the first treatment, so there is no need to worry.
CoolGlide laser hair removal is safe and effective for most people, but it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or skin types. Aesthetic Beauty Care personnel can expertly evaluate your skin and hair to determine if CoolGlide laser hair removal is right for you.
The cost of CoolGlide laser hair removal varies depending on the area being treated and the number of sessions needed. On average, you can expect to pay between $200-$500 per session. Aesthetic Beauty Care also offer package deals for multiple sessions.
