Be Bikini Ready without the Concern of Unsuspecting Hairs

“How,” you ask. With Laser Hair Removal!  During these relatively short and painless treatments, light energy is directed into the hair follicles of a particular area of the body, destroying their capacity to grow hair. Due to the life cycle of a hair follicle, total annihilation with a single treatment is impossible.

Hair follicles are most susceptible to the laser during their most active growth phase, which differs for each hair. For this reason, we recommend a package of six treatments spaced six weeks apart. These intervals allow for each hair, at some point over the course of treatments, to reach that crucial point when it is most vulnerable to the effects of the laser.

Clinical studies show that lasers are able to permanently eliminate about 20% of the hair follicles with each treatment session. This means that even if you complete only one treatment of a particular area of your body, you should see a permanent reduction of hair growth in that area.

Of course, most people prefer a more significant reduction of 90 to 100%, requiring that they complete several treatment sessions. For most fair to medium skinned individuals with dark hair follicles, this means 4 to 6 treatments.

Medium to dark skinned individuals will most likely require more treatments due to the increased pigmentation of their skin and hair. As the light is absorbed by the pigmentation in the hair and skin, it is converted into heat energy.

This means, the greater the pigmentation the greater the heat and potential discomfort. So, for comfort and safety’s sake, medium to dark skinned individuals will be treated in a slower, gentler fashion.

Though widely known as the go-to solution for stray bikini hairs, Laser Hair Removal actually provides the solution to many hair quandaries. In fact, facial hair removal, specifically of the chin and lip, is the number one requested treatment of women.

Even better, there’s no need to grow out the hair for effective treatment. From treatment one, you will feel a dramatic difference and realize that you’re closer than ever to the smooth, silky skin you desire.

Chemical Peel Philadelphia

Many factors can give your face that worn, haggard and aged look. Everyday elements such as the air we breathe, the sun and, of course, Father Time can have a harmful, damaging effect on your facial skin. However your wrinkled face may no longer be a life sentence with the advancement of facial rejuvenation products and treatments, especially chemical peels.

In addition to reducing wrinkles, chemical peels can help reduce fine lines near your mouth and eyes, improve mild scarring, treat certain types of acne and even reduce facial spotting and freckles. In other words, give you a smoother, more glowing face.

The procedure uses a chemical solution that creates a layer of dead skin that eventually is peeled off, thus giving the treatment its name. The end result is a smoother, less wrinkled facial texture not to mention the boost it will give you in appearance and self confidence.

If you’ve been considering a chemical peel, you’re probably wondering what your options are. There are several types and the right treatment depends on your facial concerns as well as your desired result. The mildest procedure if you’re looking to treat minor facial flaws is an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) peel which uses naturally occurring organic acids which are found in fruits or milk.

A trichloracetic acid peel is another treatment commonly used but for deeper peeling than the AHA type. The depth of the facial skin penetration depends on the concentration used.

The other most common chemical peel you may consider is a phenol treatment. This procedure uses the strongest chemicals, removing facial skin the deepest. If your problems are coarse facial skin and wrinkles or embarrassing blotchy areas, then you may opt for the phenol route. In comparison to the other types of chemical peels, a phenol peel provides the longest lasting effects and, in many cases, a single treatment is sufficient. The concerns you may have when considering this option are the extended recovery time in comparison to the less evasive procedures as well as a health risk if you’ve had a history of heart problems.

If you have facial concerns like most of us do, a chemical peel might be just what the doctor ordered.

Laser Hair Removal for Men

Gone, is the harried morning shaving routine; the patchwork mending of nicks and scrapes; the you-missed-a-spot; and the “oh, are you growing a beard?”

Not surprising, men accounted for 174,419 of the laser hair removal procedures performed in America in 2008. Like women, men grow tired of having to constantly shave. Unlike women, men are not much into depilatories (creams & gels), plucking, waxing or tweezing. These methods tend to be too costly and time consuming.

Alternatively, laser hair removal allows for nearly effortless permanent hair reduction of the:

• Face, including the chin, upper lip and ear lobes
• Neck, back and shoulders
• Chest
• Arms, including under arms, legs and hands
• Pubic area

Anti Aging Skin Rejuvenation Philadelphia

Aging happens little by little.  Month by month, year by year, the skin and musculature of your face succumbs to the effects of stress, changes in hormones and the sun.  If you are like most women and men, you see your face changing in the mirror. 

Often there are one or two specific things you can point to—crow’s feet, age spots, tiny veins around the nose, crepey skin under the eyes—that make you long for the skin you used to see three or five or even ten years ago.  

Many of us find that the aging skin we face in the mirror each day just doesn’t match what we feel like inside.  And even if you are vigilant about your diet, exercise and sunscreen, you probably still notice your skin aging. 

We at Bella Medspa are thrilled to offer services and products that provide positive natural-looking results to create noticeable changes in the skin for facial rejuvenation.

Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion – to generally rejuvenate the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells, and providing a healthy and NATURAL glow. 

BOTOX Cosmetic Injections—smooth frown lines and crows feet or soften the brow to look more composed, well-rested, upbeat and happy.  Have you tried it?

Dermal Fillers—just a few injections can soften the heavier folds and wrinkles in the face.  Fillers are also used to reduce lip lines and plump the lips, creating a more youthful and sexier mouth. Our fillers include Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane.

Medical Grade Skin Care Products – We offer the Obagi, SkinMedica, iS Clinical and Vivite lines for keeping your skin vibrant and healthy.

Latissse—Applied nightly for longer, fuller darker lashes.  This is one of the hottest products on the market right now.  Does it work?  YES!

Buying LATISSE Online – Payment Processing is Not Secure

It’s disturbing to see some of the practices concerning the online sale of LATISSE.  It’s disturbing because the payment processing methods used are not secure and there is nothing on websites selling it to indicate to the customer that it is anything other than an ecommerce transaction.

First, some background on the product, LATISSE. Latisse is the only FDA approved prescription product that grows eyelashes. LATISSE  is produced and distributed by Allergan, the same company that markets BOTOX. Allergan has very strict guidelines regarding online sales of Latisse.

Allergan prohibits the sale of LATISSE. There is no indication on the site that this transaction is anything other than a purchase made through Amazon, for example. But, in fact a payment gateway is not being used.

What these sellers are doing is using an online form, similar to any online contact from one might fill out with name, phone number and a comment. This information is then transmitted to a web based database. The seller can then access this payment information (and medical history) through a login page with a user name and password. The seller accesses the credit card information from the database and runs it on an office credit card machine. It’s easy to see why this could potentially be a big problem.

Collecting and storing credit card information in an online database is simply not secure. If the wrong person were to somehow get the database user name and password they would have access to all the credit card information and medical history. The only secure way to take payment on the web is to use one of the third party payment gateways.

Allergan is extremely vigilant about making sure no one is breaking their online transaction rules. They will stop providing Latisse to any retailer who breaks their online transaction rules.  None of the online sellers are using a third party payment gateway.

Allergan should not be faulted for this payment security problem. Anyone could sell any product online using this non-secure method. And one would have good motive – avoiding the fees imposed by third party processing. But the main reason they don’t is because it is not secure.

At Bella Medspa we have decided that the client’s credit card and medical history data security is not something we are willing to trade off. We offer Latisse to our clients as a phone sale to avoid the potential breach of security of using online form submission. For prices and details go to LATISSE.
