Laser Hair Removal

Unwanted hair can be such a nightmare. The constant shaving, waxing, plucking or the use of those skin-irritating creams can make the situation even worse. But with Laser Hair Removal, getting rid of the unwanted hair is easier than ever.

Now men and woman alike are experiencing the amazing benefits of laser hair removal for all areas of the body.

The Cutera CoolGlide® Laser System
The CoolGlide® Laser System is one of the best laser hair removal systems on the market. Due to its advanced development, this system can treat all skin types from light to dark. The unique design and longer wavelength along with the innovative cooling techique allow extremely, safe, effective and permanent results on all areas of the body.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most areas require 3-6 treatments, but the number of 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 Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?
As the name implies, the CoolGlide® hand piece 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 an icing method or a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.

What do I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately following your CoolGlide® laser hair removal 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.

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, your physician 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?
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn may occur in some patients. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.

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 hand piece increases patient comfort and minimizes the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with other lasers.
