Introducing Cutera's CoolGlide(r) for Quick Comfortable and Long-Lasting Results

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it permanent?

Results may vary among patients. The CoolGlide(r) 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 regrowing after a treatment regime.

Is laser treatment safe?

Lasers have been in existence for more than thirty five years and are used by a wide range of medical specialists. Since only light is used to remove hair it is totally non-invasive, therefore it does not cause some of the irritations typically found with other hair removal methods.

What are the side effects?

Short-term side effects include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling. These effects typically are transient.

How long does the treatment take and how many treatments are required?

The length of treatment and number of treatments required depends on the area the patient wishes to have treated, the hair density and the hair's growth cycle. Many factors influence hair growth cycles such as age, weight, ethnicity, hormones, diet, medication, and metabolism.

Can all skin types/pigments be treated safely with the CoolGlide(r) system?

The CoolGlide(r) laser has an advantage over other laser hair removal systems because it allows treatment of all skin types, including tanned patients.
