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 settings. As a result, many users treat at too low a setting, which reduces effectiveness.
Uncomfortable sessions: without built-in cooling, many IPL devices are unsuitable for sensitive areas such as the bikini line, underarms and face. The result: users stop early, or skip exactly the areas where they most want to see results.
Laesera solves this with built-in ice cooling technology: cooling that works actively during every flash.
How does Laesera’s ice cooling work?
Cooling plate
The Nova One’s contact surface actively cools to around 15°C before the light pulse is delivered.
Simultaneous cooling & flash
During every IPL flash the cooling surface stays active. The skin is cooled at the exact moment of the light pulse.
Virtually painless treatment
The result: effective hair removal with minimal discomfort, including on sensitive skin areas.
Technical specifications: Cooling temperature during treatment: ~15°C | Independent cooling system | Cooling speed: 30 sec to 15°C
Less discomfort, better results
The Nova One’s ice cooling actively cools your skin during every flash, so you can treat comfortably, including on sensitive areas.
Traditional IPL devices produce heat that builds up in your skin, giving a burning or stinging sensation, especially on sensitive areas. The Nova One actively cools your skin during every flash, so the session feels like no more than a light tingle.
Cooling performance in practice
The cooling surface reaches ~15°C within 30 seconds. The skin temperature stays practically constant with minimal fluctuation.
The difference cooling makes
| Aspect | Without cooling | With Laesera ice cooling |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | Warm to painful sensation at higher energy settings | Virtually pain-free, even at higher settings |
| Sensitive areas | Often too uncomfortable for the bikini line or face | Comfortable on every area |
| Treatment time | Breaks needed to let the skin cool down | Keep treating without interruptions |
| Consistency | Many users stop too soon | Better chance of sticking with it → better results |
| Skin reaction | Higher chance of redness after treatment | Less skin irritation thanks to instant cooling |
Frequently asked questions about ice cooling technology
How cold does the Laesera Nova cooling surface get?
While flashing, the cooling surface stays stable at around 15°C. The exact temperature can vary slightly with ambient temperature and session length. The cooling system works independently of the flash technology, so the cooling stays active both between and during flashes
Is IPL hair removal with ice cooling really virtually pain-free?
Most users find the session virtually pain-free thanks to the active cooling. The experience can vary by person and treatment area; sensitive areas such as the bikini line can give a light tingling sensation, but this is considerably less than with devices that have no cooling. For extra control on these areas you can use the precision attachment
Does the cooling work at all energy levels?
Yes, the ice cooling is active on all 5 energy levels of the Nova One. That means you can treat comfortably at higher settings too, for a more effective result.
Do I need to cool my skin separately before or after treatment?
No, the Nova One’s built-in cooling makes separate cooling unnecessary. You do not need cool packs or gel. After your session you can optionally apply a soothing gel, but this is not essential.
Is the ice cooling safe for sensitive skin?
The cooling is designed to be comfortable specifically on sensitive skin. Combined with the Nova One’s skin sensor technology, the session is adjusted automatically to your skin type. If in doubt, always consult a dermatologist.
How is Laesera’s ice cooling different from other IPL devices with a cooling function?
The Nova One uses an independent cooling system with high-grade cooling chip materials. This means the cooling is continuously active, including between flashes. With many competitors the cooling is tied to the flash and switches off in between. The Nova One’s independent system keeps the temperature constant, which makes for an evenly comfortable session. Combined with the automatic skin sensor, the Nova One also adjusts the intensity to your skin tone, for a session that is both safe and comfortable.
