LASER HAIR REMOVAL
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with great results. It applies precisely controlled pulses of energy
(electrical and light, with cooling), reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom
of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.
What does it feel like?
Each pulse, which lasts less than a second, produces a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may
feel like a quick, light pinch.
Is it suitable for everyone?
At CALM LASER Center we customize the treatment to exactly match your hair and skin type. The ideal skin type for laser is anywhere from a
skin type 1-3 as well as some people that fit into the skin type 4 category. In order for the laser to work the hair must have pigment. Laser
does not work on blonde or fine hair.
What about side effects?
The energies used by CALM LASER (electrical and light) are both commonly used in a range of medical and cosmetic procedures that have
proven to be safe. Most people experience no side effects at all, though few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin.
You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to
direct sunlight throughout the duration of your treatment. Application of sunscreen 30+ is very important.
How many treatments will I need?
Laser hair removal destroys hairs that are in the active growth stage (Anagen), so repeat treatments will be needed to target hair that was
not affected at the time of previous treatments. You will need anywhere from 3-6 treatments to get the optimum results that you want to
achieve.
What results can I expect?
After doing a series of 3-6 treatments you can expect a reduction in you body hairs. For some people it will be necessary due to hormonal or
other changes to come in once every 3 or 6 months for a 15 or 30 minute clean up of patches.
MICRODERMABRASION
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure using fine (micro) crystals to progressively but gently abrade the skin’s surface. It is used to resurface
the skin and to treat a range of skin conditions. This treatment has been used in Europe for years; now this exciting procedure is helping
men and women in the United States experience remarkable improvements in their skin texture, regardless of skin color. With our
Microdermabrasion skin treatment program, you can see immediate improvements in your skin's appearance. This unique approach
removes dead and flaking skin cells and stimulates the production of fresh, young skin cells and collagen.
What results can I expect?
Depending on the area treated, you will notice an improvement in your skin's appearance. Stretch marks and acne scars will be less
obvious. Age spots and fine lines are reduced, and many patients report that their skin seems softer, tighter, smoother and younger looking.
What are Microdermabrasion treatments like?
Micro-crystals are vacuumed through a delicate hand piece, which is held at a precise angle to the skin, producing a skin-polishing peel. In
as little as 20 - 30 minutes, this gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through a course
of bi-weekly sessions. Microdermabrasion enhances the skin’s condition by stimulating collagen production and does what no other
available non-surgical treatment can do in combating the signs of aging skin. Most importantly, it is safe to use on all skin types and colors.
How soon will I see results?
After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh, pink glow and smoother texture. Improvements continue throughout your treatment
program. The number of treatments recommended for maximum results is 5 +. Microdermabrasion like facials is maintenance for the skin
and therefore should be done often to achieve and keep your desired results.
