CoolTouch VARIA™ laser treatments provide a non-invasive, clinically effective procedure for a variety of vascular lesions, hair removal, and skin rejuvenation. Pulsed cooling and patented thermal quenching create a soothing effect while protecting the skin's surface. This unique system also allows for treatment of darker skin types than can be done by most other lasers. We are pleased to offer laser procedures with this device at our deluxe center serving the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles areas of Southern California.

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Treatments

How does the CoolTouch VARIA™ work?
The CoolTouch VARIA uses a wavelength of light that is well absorbed by the blood in spider veins and by the pigment in hair follicles. Combined with the special cooling mist that protects the skin, this allows for gentle treatment of spider veins, unwanted hair and for skin rejuvenation. The CoolTouch VARIA, a major breakthrough in hair and spider vein removal, is even able to safely treat people with darker skin tones.

What are CoolTouch® Varia treatments?
CoolTouch Varia has developed a proven laser skin and collagen rejuvenation technique called N.I.C.E.™ (Non Invasive Collagen Enhancement) which softens the signs of aging and promotes smoother and younger looking skin.

How do the treatments work?
A unique type of laser energy is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. The CoolTouch utilizes a cryogen mist to protect and cool the skin while the laser energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the deeper skin tissue. This triggers a response and your body begins to rebuild and replenish your own natural collagen.

What is a treatment like?
CoolTouch treatments are quick and easy and can be performed on any area of the skin. Patients typically tolerate treatment well and may see a blush in the treated area for a short period of time following the treatment. There is no downtime so you can apply make-up and resume regular activities immediately after the treatment.

How long does a treatment take?
CoolTouch treatments take 10-30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.

What improvement will I see?
Over time you will notice skin texture changes. You will notice that fine and deep lines become less visible and gradually begin to fade. Results are achieved with a series of treatments - on average 3-4 treatments over a period of 2-3 months.
