| The long 1064 nanometer wavelength of the Cutera CoolGlide™ makes it possible to safely and effectively treat all people -- even those with tanned, very dark or black skin. Like all lasers, the CoolGlide works more efficiently on light colored skin -- so to minimize the number of treatments you need, try not to have a fresh suntan when you come in for treatment. |
| How to Choose a Laser Hair Removal Provider? |

Once you have decided that you’d like to have laser hair removal performed, the number one factor is to choose someone who is committed to doing laser hair removal regularly, preferably a trained physician. If you go into an office for laser hair removal the first thing you need to ask is “Do you own your own lasers?” That’s number one. Number two is “What’s your specialty?” Its important that the physician treating you is someone who knows about the skin, who understands this technology and knows what they are doing. Are they board-certified? A dermatologist? Is there a board certified physician of any kind in the office? Also important is how long they have been performing laser hair removal. You want people who are experienced in performing the procedure for a reasonable amount of time. “Where did you get your training for laser hair removal?” Did a sales rep come in and train you? Did you take a coarse? Do they have more than one laser? This can be important because often times there are patients who treat their hair and sometime the hair changes characteristics or the patient may get tan, and they require a different type of laser. And never be afraid to ask for references. |
