CNY Laser: Frequently Asked Questions

SKIN REJUVENATION

Q: What areas can be treated?
A: Face, Neck, and Recent scars

Q: What is diffused redness?
A: Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy checks.

Q: How does Skin Rejuvenation Work?
A: By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin's surface, Laser Skin Rejuvenation stimulates collagen regrowth.

Q: What does the procedure feel like?
A: Often described as relaxing and therapeutic. You feel a warming of the skin as the laser is moved over your skin.

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: The treatment results are often subtle. On average, you may require four to six treatments in order to achieve the results you are looking for. Every client's condition and needs vary.

Q: What are possible side effects?
A: Although most clients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment.

SPIDER VEIN THERAPY

Q: What types of veins can be treated?
A: Spider veins and small facial spider veins
**Note: Knotty varicose veins are NOT good candidates

Q: How does Spider Vein Therapy work?
A: CoolGlide systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body.

Q: Do the treatments hurt?
A: Most clients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Many clients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment.

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Often, clients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated.

Q: What are possible side effects?
A: Although clients report few, if any, side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours.

HAIR REMOVAL

Q: Who can be treated with CoolGlide?
A: CoolGlide's unique design and long wavelength allow it to treat clients of all skin tones!

Q: What areas can be treated with CoolGlide?
A: The CoolGlide Laser system can remove hair from all parts of the body including sensitive areas of the body.

Q: What do CoolGlide treatments feel like?
A: As the name implies, the CoolGlide hand piece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin, although some clients experience a mild pinching or stringing sensation. You may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Most areas require 5-7 treatments, but the number of CoolGlide treatments you may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on various factors such as your hair's thickness, the area treated, and your hair's growth cycle.

Q: What happens after the treatment?
A: The area may appear a bit red and swollen.

Q: What are the possible side effects?
A: Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn may occur in some clients. These effects typically last for several hours or less.

Q: How long do the results last?
A: The CoolGlide Laser System causes permanent reduction in the number of hairs growing in an area. Because hair grows in three phases, and each hair goes through these stages independently, it is almost impossible for one laser treatment to permanently reduce all hair in a given area.
