Procedure Description

The CoolGlide Excel cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. A powerful pulse of laser light targets unsightly blood vessels. Surrounding tissue is unaffected. A built-in cooling tip helps protect the skin and minimize discomfort.

No anesthesia or pain medical is required although some patients use a topical anesthetic cream or lotion when sensitive areas are treated. There is little, if any, pain following treatment.

Recuperation and Healing

Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. Occasionally, you may experience redness or localized swelling that usually lasts for less than a day.

Normal activity may resume immediately although patients are cautioned to avoid rigorous activity for up to 24 hours.
