How does Laser hair removal work?

Interestingly enough, not all hairs grow at the same time. Hair growth happens in three cycles; 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 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.

Are there any side effects?

Immediately following a treatment the area may appear a bit red and swollen. 'Three to seven days after the treatment you may experience what seems to be a regrowth of hair. Actually, these hairs are being shed as a result of the treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments you should not pluck or wax your hair but it is permissible to shave.

How does the CoolGlide compare with electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to them one at a time. It often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time, the CoolGlide effectively treats an area in just seconds that would take over an hour with electrolysis.
