Laser Hair Removal With the Coolglide Laser

Technology plays an important role in terms of results for laser hair removal. There are many different types of laser's in the industry. These laser technologies are based on different depths of penetration. Darker skin types must be extremely careful when choosing a laser clinic or laser technology due to the fact that all laser's are attracted to pigment. For darker skin types, this possesses a problem since darker skin types have a lot of pigmentation in the skin along with the hair follicle. In order to successfully treat the hair while not damaging the skin, a laser which penetrates adequate depth in the hair follicle is ideal.

The Coolglide Nd Yag laser from Cutera is well known for laser hair removal for all skin types. This technology also has an additional chill tip which is ideal for darker skins as well by cooling the skin with every pulse. If the correct technology is used, darker skin types may experience excellent results with fewer treatments as the technician may be fairly aggressive at treating the hair without worrying about epidermal damage. The Coolglide Laser is considered the "gold standard" for darker skin types and was the recipient for the award for best laser for darker skin during the 2006 Laser & Light Technology Choice Awards. Although this laser may be safe and effective for all skin types, it is ideal for those who have dark hair. Those with fine hair or light hair may see better results with the Lightsheer laser which has a wavelength of 800nm.
