Common Reasons for Seeking Progesterone Treatment

One of the most common uses of progesterone treatment is to help regulate menstrual cycles in women whose hormones have become imbalanced. Conditions such as hormonal irregularities or ovulatory disorders may lead to inconsistent or absent periods, and progesterone therapy can help restore a more predictable cycle.

Another popular reason for progesterone therapy is fertility support. During IVF or in cases where the body does not produce enough progesterone after ovulation, supplementing progesterone can help prepare the uterus lining for embryo implantation and support pregnancy development. Progesterone if often used during pregnancy for women who are at higher risk of miscarriage or preterm birth.

Progesterone treatment is also considered for women approaching menopause. Progesterone helps balance the shifts that happen in estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause. This can reduce symptoms such as night sweats, mood fluctuations, and sleep disruption.

Finally, progesterone therapy may play a role in broader wellness strategies that focus on longevity and hormonal balance. Progesterone support can contribute to improved sleep, cognitive clarity, and overall vitality.

Is hair reduction using laser permanent?

Treatment results may vary among patients. The Altus CoolGlide Laser is cleared by the FDA for Permanent Hair Reduction. The FDA defines permanent hair reduction as the long term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime.

Will it work on dark skin?

The Cutera CoolGlide Laser is FDA-approved for use in types I to VI skin, that is, from the whitest white to the darkest dark. Care is taken with the darker shades of skin, but excellent results can be obtained in black skin.

What does it feel like?

The laser treatment may feel like a mild sting for a fraction of a second. It has a built-in cooling tip that not only helps to protect the skin but also helps to minimize the discomfort.

How long do the treatments take?

An upper lip and chin can be done in 5 to 10 minutes. Underarms or bikini lines usually take 15 to 20 minutes. Legs and backs take longer. Very often, follow-up treatments are shorter (and less expensive) because there is much less hair to treat.

How many treatments are necessary?

This is very important to understand. Hair goes through 3 stages of development. Typically in the anagen stage, the hair will respond more effectively to treatment. At any given time, only one third of human hair is in the anagen stage. For this reason, it is necessary to treat an area at least 3 times with the treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart in order to see the best and longest lasting results. Darker hair will respond better, but both dark and light hair may need up to 5 treatments for maximum response and the best long-term results.

Results - What can I expect?

There is often no immediate change. Your skin may get slightly red or even develop a small crust that will peel. The laser may leave small red marks on your skin. The marks clear up in a few days. The hair that has been destroyed will not start to fall out for 2-3 weeks. Many times it will get darker and thicker just before it falls out. Don't worry if you do not see an obvious change immediately after your first treatment.
