Post Coolglide - Hair has Not Shed

Tags: female, comparison, hair loss, results

I had Coolglide Treatment on chin (I'm F, white, dark/coarse hair, burn then tan) & it doesn't seem to have worked. Had session 11 days ago. Some posts say hair should completely shed until my next treatment. My laser consultant said I should see 20% reduction each visit. I'm confused & want to be sure this laser is for me. I previously had treatment with Gentlelase and loved the results but moved & no clinic offers here. Choice between LightSheer Diode, ELOS technology - Syneron or Coolglide.

Laser hair removal

Having been a user of LightSheer diode laser for hair removal I can address its protocol. The hair is shaved prior to use so the skin does not absorb too much energy. Once the treatment is performed, there is no hair to shed as it has already been shaved. The hair will continue to grow but there is less growth, but not noticable after one treatment usually. It may take 8 or more monthly treatments to obtain 80% reduction.
