Cool Glide is the only laser hair removal system that can treat all skin types including dark Hispanic, Mediterranean, Black skin without discoloring the pigment, without destroying the pigment." It's called the Cool Glide because of its refrigerated tip. It enables the laser to effectively treat the follicle without generating the heat of traditional lasers.

The Cool Guide Laser is a long pulse of 1064nm Nd:YAG laser designed to treat leg veins, facial blood vessels, and remove unwanted hair. This laser is the first of its kind to successfully treat larger veins on the legs that were previously only treatable with sclerotherapy (injections).

What can the Cool Glide Laser treat?

The Cool Glide laser can treat large and small veins of the leg, facial blood vessels, and unwanted hair. The Cool Glide laser can not treat varicose veins. At your initial consultation you will receive an examination to look for underlying problems.

How does the Cool Glide Laser work?

The Cool Glide laser produces laser light at a wavelength of 1064nm. This wavelength allows treatment of deeper vessels. The duration of each laser light pulse can be varied so that the light is selectively absorbed by blood vessels in the skin. The laser causes heating of the blood vessel which clots the blood within the vessel. This causes destruction of the blood vessel. A chill tip is attached to the laser to help minimize complications from treatment by the laser. The chill tip cools and protects the overlying skin.

What will I feel with the Cool Glide laser?

The procedure is performed in Dr. Jaliman's Manhattan, New York office. The area of skin to be treated is covered with a clear jelly to help the laser chill tip glide over the skin. The chill tip helps avoid injury to the overlying skin. Protective eyeglasses are also worn to protect your eyes from the laser light. Each pulse from the laser feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin or a speck of grease from a frying pan hitting the skin. After the procedure, the treated areas of skin will be red and slightly swollen. This usually resolves over a 24-hour period. The skin may have a temporary stinging or burning sensation after the procedure. If this occurs it resolves over several hours.
