What to expect from your Laser hair removal treatment

Prep for treatment: Avoid any sun exposure or tanning for about a week. No waxing, plucking and bleaching the hair as the laser will not be to catch the hair, we need an intact follicle for the laser to destroy. Make sure that you have between 4-6 weeks full hair growth before your first session, you need to shave atleast 1-2 days before your treatment.  For the first treatment you can come in without shaving so that we can see the type and texture of the hair. How does work: The laser emits high intensity light. The light gets absorbed by the pigment in the hair, when the light gets into the skin it turns into heat, the heat then “damages’’ the hair follicle which in turn delays or inhibit the growth of the hair. What to expect: The sensations of the laser varies from person to person and the

Is Plasma Pen treatment right for me and how does it work?

Plasma Fibroblast treatment is a fantastic treatment to tighten loose skin almost anywhere on the body. How does plasma work? Plasma uses a controlled electrical arc to sublimate (evaporate) skin on contact. This causes the skin to contract and has a tightening, lifting and rejuvenating effect. The plasma flash penetrates to the fibroblast in the dermis below and this stimulates accelerated diffusion and migration of collagen cells. The fibroblast activates new collagen and elastin formation helping the skin regenerate, maintaining skin firmness and tightness. The tissue regeneration can take up to 12 weeks. What areas can be treated? The beauty of plasma is that it can be used on all areas of the skin that needs tightening. It’s also great to remove small benign growths such as skin tags, benign moles, solar keratosis, age spots etc. Great for hooded eyes, crows feet or fine lines around the eye area Lines

Why are skin peels good in winter?

Scheduling the treatment should be your next major consideration. The autumn and winter are optimum times for anti ageing treatments such as chemical peel for 3 key reasons.

It is a safe and effective way of hair removal because it doesn’t cause any damage to the skin and is a completely natural way of hair removal.

How does MicroNeedling work? Now we have a new game changer in the industry. It goes by a couple of names; Dermapen, MicroNeedling, Medical Rolling, Collagen Induction Therapy and some more.
