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
