Excessive or unwanted hair can
be embarrassing, while ingrown
hairs can be unsightly and even
painful. Yet, the majority of my
patients have found that
traditional means of hair removal
such as shaving, waxing, tweezing,
and the use of creams are
ineffective and oftentimes harmful
to the skin. As the owner of 21
Hair Removal salons in Japan, I
guarantee my clients permanent
hair removal after four treatments,
which means I must always strive
to find the most advanced and
efficient equipment available.
SAFE AND EFFICACIOUS
Although laser hair
removal is an increasingly popular
alternative to the aforementioned
more antiquated hair removal
tactics, some laser treatments are
extremely uncomfortable and can
cause adverse effects. I myself
have had experience with
insufficient laser equipment. In
the early years of my business, I
used a very popular Diode Laser
for hair removal treatment and
was dismayed to find that the tip

With the comfort and

was thrilled to have the

SmoothCool can be used to

problems on various parts of the
body such as the scalp, beard and
moustache area, armpits, bikini
area, and legs. Furthermore,
SmoothCool can be used to treat

Controller, or ATC. ATC is a
revolutionary, world-class cooling
device that automatically sensors
the skin surface and reads its
temperature so that it can keep it
under 4°C during the procedure.
In effect, SmoothCool’s ATC is
an advanced “smart blocker,”
which protects the skin and
ensures that the patient will
experience minimal discomfort
and virtually no pain before,
during, or after their laser
treatment.
Anesthetic is generally not
needed, and the SmoothCool
procedure requires no subsequent
downtime. Treatments take an
average of five to thirty minutes,
depending on the area targeted;
and an average of four treatments
is needed to achieve permanent
hair removal.
