Hi again. I went to a consultation yesterday with a lady that has a Coolglide XEO. It’s a platform that has both a 1064 NdYag and a Prowave IPL on it. She said I’m a Fitzpatrick 3 (odd since I’m hispanic and Italian with brown skin). She thinks the Prowave IPL works best in most areas with a few exceptions that she named for me. She intends to use the IPL first and do clean up with the Yag. I want my legs and full privates treated. I have black, dense hair. I think it’s coarse. She said it’s fine but I don’t know how she could tell since I was shaved. Her prices are very good and her office seems professional. She’s been in the LHR business for 5 years and she claims that is the longest in the region.
She did a test patch on my right ankle with the 1064 yag with a 7 mm spot size at two different settings. She did one spot at 45 J and another spot at 50 J. I asked about pulse and she said it was program B. She asked me to tell her on a scale of 1-10 how painful it was and I thought it was about a 5-6.
She also did a test spot on my left ankle using the Prowave IPL at a setting of B-20. I don’t know what that means. On a scale from 1-10 I thought the pain was a 6 or 7.
Can anyone comment on these settings?
Is anyone familiar with the Prowave? I found one member that has used it and I sent him a PM already.
TIA!
