Cool Glide Laser
Cool Glide Laser are used in Dr. Jaliman's
Manhattan, New York office for the treatment of:
- Facial Blood Vessels
- Broken Leg Vessels
- Spider Veins
- Cherry Angiomas
- Laser Hair Removal
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.
Feel free to make a consultation with Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra
Jaliman, MD at her Manhattan, New York office for the Cool Glide Laser
treatment.
