subject: Peel Off Those Winter Layers Then Get Exfoliated [print this page] With summer fast approaching, the appearance of skin becomes important, as we lose our layers of winter clothing. After all those months of being covered up, it will probably be necessary to give our skin some tender loving care in the lead-up to warm summer days.
Med Spas offer various ways to rid our skin of unwanted hair and to keep it looking beautiful and healthy. These include laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and other non-invasive exfoliation procedures. There is even SilkPeel that can treat the most sensitive skin by polishing and rejuvenating it.
Dermabrasion is a procedure that freezes the skin and then a specialized instrument is used to sand the skin. Clients comment that after the treatment is completed, the new skin takes on a smoother appearance. The procedure improves the configuration as a new layer of skin replaces the treated skin.
Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, involves tiny crystals that are sprayed onto the skin. This process helps to improve minor skin problems, such as fine line, dull skin, brown spots, mild acne scars and age spots. These two procedures go hand in hand with laser hair removal by not only removing unwanted hair but diminishing scars and wrinkles as well.
With laser hair removal there is no need for old traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, or waxing. These techniques can only provide a temporary fix. Before recently, the only way to remove hair permanently was by electrolysis, which was a painful and unpleasant process. Laser hair removal safely eliminates unwanted body hair without damaging pores or the structure of the skin.
The entire laser process can take less than ten minutes and the client can be on their way. Larger areas will take longer to complete. The process works by emitting a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle, leaving the skin untouched. What protects the skin is the cooling device which soothes the upper layers of the skin and increases comfort for the client.
Customers may feel a very slight discomfort with each laser pulse. The discomfort resolves itself in a few seconds and can be minimized by the use of Candela's DCD cooling. Side effects are minimal and might include redness and some swelling but these are usually not permanent. Any potential side effects can be discussed with the provider in advance.
The ideal candidate for this process are people with light skin and dark hair but this does not mean that other types of skin and hair color will not have good results. All skin can be treated, even if the client has darker skin with dark hair. For complete hair removal multiple treatments are required.
The number of sessions depends on the condition of the person's skin. Treatment cost is decided by the size of the area being treated, and prices can often start around only fifty-nine dollars. Discounts may be available with the purchase of multiple areas. Recommending friends and family members can lead to generous discounts as well.
