Unwanted Hair

What is laser hair removal and why is it a safe treatment?
The CoolGlide Xeo system generates intense, long-pulsed laser light through an actively-cooled hand piece. The laser effectively disables unwanted pigmented hair follicles, thus impairing their growth. The laser's cold hand piece is placed gently on the skin and glides along as pulses of light are delivered from the laser. When the light pulses, a brief, mild pinching sensation occurs selectively damages the root of the unwanted hair. CoolGlide Xeo treatments are quick, have minimum discomfort and allow you to return to your normal life immediately. Unlike other treatments there is no need to apply gels or topical anesthetic. Treatment time depends on the size of the area treated.

Why should I have this treatment?
Traditional hair removal techniques such as shaving, plucking and waxing provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only semi-permanent way to remove hair has been by electrolysis which can be painful, time-consuming and is limited to small cosmetic areas. The CoolGlide Xeo system safely removes unwanted hair from all parts of the body without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. The laser disables unwanted pigmented hair follicles thus impairing their growth.

What conditions are treated with the CoolGlidesystem?
The CoolGlide Xeo system can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and back, as well as sensitive areas like the chest, nipples, and bikini line.
