Laser Hair Removal Treatment and Sun Exposure
Now is the time of year when most of us are showing a lot more skin. You can be slim and toned, with rock hard abs and sculpted arms, but a hairy back or a bumpy, red ingrown bikini area can really kill your look.

New Bella Medspa Location Under Construction
We are happy to announce our new Chester Springs location [See on map] to open in September 2008. The new location, currently under renovation, is in a historic site in a 150 year old building that once served as a hotel. The entire building is being restored using materials from other old buildings in an effort to revive its 1800’s beauty. Flooring, doors and stair rails have been salvaged from other local historic sites to be used in the restorations. We are excited to be able to offer this unique and inviting setting for our clients. See photos >>

Plans for the new site include expansion of Bella Medspa menu of services. To date we have offered only laser hair removal. Future services may include botox, microderm abrasion, Zoom teeth whitening and photo facial treatments. See future newsletters for updates. Read More >>

If you do your research, you will quickly see that active sun-tanning is generally a “no-no” when doing a course of laser hair removal treatments. This is good advice. Active sun-tanning should be avoided within two weeks of a laser hair removal treatment. This includes using a tanning booth, or active sun worship by the beach or by the pool.

There are a two reasons for this. First, your skin is more sensitive to the sun (and therefore, a sunburn) for two weeks after a laser hair removal treatment. While any sunburn is bad, a sunburn on skin that has recently been treated with a laser can be more damaging to that skin.

Second, the lighter your skin is, the more effective each laser treatment will be. This is because the laser is absorbed by the pigment it fires upon. Laser hair removal harnesses the pigment in the hair to kill the follicle.

The more pigment you have in your skin (whether from genetics or from a suntan) the more gently your skin will have to be treated.

The good news is that most of us are taking more precautions than ever in the sun. Dark dark tans are out, and sunscreen and good skin care are in. If the stubble on your legs is driving you crazy, and you can limit your sun exposure, it will most likely be fine for you to begin or continue your laser hair removal treatments. And next year shaving can be a thing of the past.

Brazilian Wax vs Laser Hair Removal Brazilian
YouTube Bikini Wax Video... Ouch!

I ran across this video on YouTube when I searched bikini wax. I couldn’t help but think about how a brazilian wax differs from a laser hair removal brazilian.

With the increasing popularity of smooth, hair free pubic area many woman (and men) are seeking brazilian bikini waxing and laser hair removal. And when it comes to the brazilian, waxing is more painful than laser hair removal. Not to mention that laser hair removal is permanent and achieves smoother results.

Some of the comments for the video lament about what women will do to please our men. But I can attest that the brazilian also improves sensation for the woman as well. Not only does it look cleaner and sexier but it feels cleaner and sexier.

With laser hair removal brazilian or bikini you may endure some pain but at least each time you receive a treatment you move one step closer to never having to do it again. And the waxing still doesn’t leave your skin as smooth as laser hair removal does, nor does it get rid of ingrown hairs. (For many, it makes them so much worse!) So the results for a brazilian wax are not as good nor permanent. That’s why so many people are choosing the laser hair removal brazilian over the brazilian wax.
