How does the CoolGlide system remove hair?
The laser targets the pigment located in the hair follicle and shaft. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and this energy is converted to heat which results in damage to the hair follicle. This damage causes delayed re-growth of hair, and in most cases permanent destruction of many of the hair follicles. Unlike electrolysis, which disables one hair follicle at a time, the light reaches and treats hundreds of follicles at a time.
