Cutera CoolGlide

Most areas require 4-6 treatments. The number of CoolGlide treatments required for optimal long-term benefits, however, depends on hair thickness, the particular area treated and the person's hair growth cycle. Notably, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time and have three distinct growth phases: growth, regression and resting. CoolGlide treatments work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since not all the hairs are in the active phase at any given time, several treatments are necessary.

Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, the CoolGlide can rapidly treat large areas without the limitations of older technologies. The CoolGlide's longer wavelength allows it to be used safely and effective on patients with light or dark skin as well as tanned skin. Unlike other systems, CoolGlide 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 handpiece increases patient comfort and minimizes the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with other lasers.
