Ice cooling: comfortable at every level
Discover how the integrated ice cooling of the Nova One IPL makes IPL hair removal more effective while your skin stays cool and comfortable, even on sensitive areas such as the bikini line and face.
Why does IPL hair removal sometimes feel uncomfortable?
The problem: traditional IPL devices heat the skin without cooling.
Skin heating: standard IPL devices generate intense light pulses that produce heat in your skin. This can lead to redness, irritation or a burning sensation, especially at higher energy levels. As a result, many users treat at a level that's too low, which reduces effectiveness.
Uncomfortable treatments: without integrated cooling, many IPL devices are unsuitable for sensitive areas such as the bikini line, underarms and face. The result: users stop early or skip precisely the areas where they most want to see results.
Laesera solves this with integrated ice cooling technology: cooling that works actively during every flash.
How does Laesera's ice cooling work?
-
Cooling plate
The contact surface of the Nova One IPL actively cools to around 15 °C before the light pulse is emitted.
-
Simultaneous cooling and flash
During every IPL flash the cooling surface stays active. The skin is cooled at the exact moment of the light pulse.
-
Comfortable treatment
The result: effective hair removal with minimal discomfort, even on sensitive skin areas. Most users feel no more than a slight tingle.
Cooling temperature during treatment: ±15 °C · Independent cooling system · Cooling speed: to 15 °C in 30 seconds
Less discomfort, more results
The Nova One IPL's ice cooling actively cools your skin during every flash, so you can treat comfortably, even on sensitive areas.
Traditional IPL devices produce heat that builds up in your skin: a burning or stinging sensation, especially on sensitive areas. The Nova One IPL actively cools your skin during every flash, so the treatment feels like no more than a slight tingle.
Cooling performance in practice
The cooling surface reaches ±15 °C within 30 seconds. The skin temperature stays virtually constant with minimal fluctuations.
Kortom: the cooling keeps the skin temperature stable, even when you continue treating at a higher level.
The values above are averages, measured under controlled conditions. The actual temperature may vary depending on ambient temperature, body temperature and duration of use. No official performance curve or technical documentation specific to the cooling system is available.
The difference cooling makes
| Aspect | Nova One IPLWith Laesera ice cooling | Without cooling |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | Slight tingle, even at higher levels | Warm to painful sensation at higher energy settings |
| Sensitive areas | Comfortable on every area | Often too uncomfortable for the bikini line or face |
| Treatment time | Keep treating without interruptions | Breaks needed to let the skin cool down |
| Sticking with it | Higher chance of sticking with it, so better results | Many users stop too soon |
| Skin reaction | Less skin irritation thanks to direct cooling | More chance of redness after the treatment |
Frequently asked questions about the ice cooling
How cold does the Nova One IPL's cooling surface get?
While flashing, the cooling surface stays stable at around 15 °C. The exact temperature may vary slightly with ambient temperature and treatment duration. The cooling system works independently of the flash technology: the cooling stays active between and during flashes.
Is IPL hair removal with ice cooling really virtually painless?
Most users find the treatment virtually painless thanks to the active cooling. The experience can vary per person and treatment area; sensitive areas such as the bikini line may give a slight tingling sensation, but this is considerably less than with devices without cooling. For extra control on these areas you can use the Precision Head.
Does the cooling work at all energy levels?
Yes, the ice cooling is active on all 5 energy levels of the Nova One IPL. This means you can also treat comfortably at higher levels for a more effective result.
Do I need to cool my skin separately before or after treatment?
No, the integrated cooling of the Nova One IPL makes separate cooling unnecessary. You don't need to use cool packs or gel. After the treatment you can optionally apply a soothing gel, but this isn't necessary.
Is the ice cooling safe for sensitive skin?
The cooling is designed to be comfortable precisely on sensitive skin. Combined with the Nova One IPL's skin sensor technology, the treatment is automatically matched to your skin type. If in doubt, always consult a dermatologist.
How does Laesera's ice cooling differ from other IPL devices with a cooling function?
The Nova One IPL uses an independent cooling system with high-quality cooling chip materials. This means the cooling is continuously active, including between flashes. On many other devices the cooling is linked to the flash and switches off in between. The Nova One IPL's independent system keeps the temperature constant, ensuring an evenly comfortable treatment. Combined with the automatic skin sensor, the Nova One IPL also adjusts the intensity to your skin tone, ensuring a safe and comfortable treatment.
