so here is my update:
I went to the offices today and spoke with the consultation woman. I asked her why there was no cooling device on the Gentlase when I did my test, and she confirmed that they in fact DO NOT use the cryogen add-on. Instead, they have a separate machine (not made by Candela) that blows out cold air. (They hook the air tube onto the Gentlase machine). I went into one of the rooms to confirm this.
What do you guys think? Safe enough for me to do treatments? I do know that other machines use cold air (like Arion and Epitouch - both Alexandrites).
Her excuse for not using Candela’s cooling device is that it has a poor affect on the treatments (which is total bulls—). They obviously just want to save money. But in any case, no other practitioner in my area uses Gentlase.
decisions decisions…
