Women and men alike can make unwanted facial and body hair a thing of the past. Thanks to the Cutera CoolGlide laser, you can forget painful waxing, electrolysis and razors. The CoolGlide is the best laser hair removal system on the market for all skin types and tones, providing safe, effective and permanent treatment for patients year-round.

What areas can be treated?
The CoolGlide can remove hair from all parts of the body, including the face, leg, arms, underarms and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest and bikini line.

How many treatments will I need?
Most areas require five 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. Not all hairs actively grow at the same time. They actually go through three distinct phases – growth, regression and resting.

How does it work?
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 treatment?
Immediately following your CoolGlide treatment, the area may appear a bit red and swollen. Three to seven days after the procedure, 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 re-growing. Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.

You can also return to your normal activities immediately after CoolGlide treatment, but some redness may occur. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.
