Benefits of Microdermabrasion/Dermaplan

September 23, 2017 by Savannah Rocker

By Anessa Vorel

There are many great benefits to regular Microdermabrasions that keep your skin looking fabulous. This is a deep, non-invasive, physical exfoliation procedure that removes the outer layer of skin and minimizes the appearance of pores, scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion increases the rate of cell turnover and keeps your skin looking youthful and healthy.

Microdermabrasion uses a hand-held diamond tipped wand to remove and lightly vacuum away dead skin cells, revealing fresh, vibrant skin. Your dull skin appears brighter with more even skin tones that are evident after the first treatment.

For an even better result, add a Dermaplaning treatment for a double exfoliation that removes those pesky white vellus hairs (peach fuzz). Your skin will appear faultless, clean, and smooth. We follow this with the application of appropriate products that give your skin an amazing glow!

A regular schedule of monthly Microdermabrasions and Dermaplaning allows you to maintain those results and improves the absorption of your daily skin care products. Without rough, dead skin and peach fuzz in the way, your makeup applies in a smooth, thin layer that doesn’t feel caked on and looks much more professional.

 

Who will benefit from Microdermabrasion?

Anyone with the following skin issues:

  • Acne Scars
  • Dry Skin
  • Fine Lines or Wrinkles
  • Dull Skin
  • Uneven Skin Tones
  • Large Pores
  • Rough Texture
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Blackheads

 

Who will benefit from Dermaplaning?

Anyone with the following skin issues:

  • Vellus Hair (Peach Fuzz)
  • Dry Skin
  • Fine Lines or Wrinkles
  • Dull Skin
  • Uneven Skin Tones
  • Rough Texture

 

Many women are skeptical of Dermaplaning because they fear that facial hair will grow back darker and thicker. This is a myth that every dermatologist and even Cosmopolitan Magazine has tackled (click here to see the Cosmo article). You will be happy with the overall appearance of your skin and, unlike waxing and many shaving episodes, these treatments are painless!

After performing these treatments, I like to apply a combination of beneficial skin care products tailored to your unique skin. My favorite products are Jan Marini C-ESTA Serum, SkinCeuticals B5 Hydrating Gel, and I always choose the best SPF protection for each client.

The DL on Laser Hair Removal

September 6, 2017 by Amy Marinoccio

Over our lifetime, we spend over $30,000 and 1,400 hours shaving, waxing, and tweezing unwanted hair. Let’s talk about how we can stop wasting time and money and make life easier. The answer is Laser Hair Removal! You probably have friends who had this done but you may be confused about how effective Laser Hair Removal will be for you. So, let’s get the facts straight.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Lasers remove unwanted body hair quickly and safely by destroying the hair follicle with a beam of light energy that is set to avoid damage to surrounding tissues. The hair pigment (melanin) absorbs the laser energy, which damages the hair follicle and renders it incapable of growing hair.

Why do I need multiple treatments?
Hair growth occurs in a three-stage cycle: growth (anagen), atrophy (catagen), and dormant (telogen). Laser Hair Removal is most effective during the growth stage, when the hair follicle is large and active. It is partially effective during the atrophy stage, when the hair follicle is shrinking. It is ineffective during the dormant stage, when the hair follicle has disappeared. On any part of your body, some of the hairs are in each of the three growth stages. The percentage of hair in the dormant stage and the duration of the dormant stage vary by anatomical location.

When you receive a Laser Hair Removal treatment, almost all the hairs in the growth stage and many of the hairs in the atrophy stage are destroyed. Over time, dormant hairs that were not affected by earlier treatments will enter the growth stage where they can be destroyed by the laser. We normally suggest four to eight weeks between treatments to allow enough dormant hairs to enter the growth stage. Six treatments are usually required for optimal results.The different stages of hair growth affect laser hair removal

Does it work for everyone?
The best candidates for Laser Hair Removal have coarse, dark hair and light-colored skin. The laser light is absorbed by the melanin pigment so hairs that have little or no melanin (blonde, gray, white, or light red hair) can’t be treated effectively. It is more difficult to treat dark skin (including tanned skin), which absorbs more of the laser energy and requires the treatment to be performed at a lower power.

Is it permanent?
When a hair follicle is destroyed, that hair can never grow again. However, some hair follicles may be too light or thin to respond to laser treatments. The remaining hair will be finer, softer, whiter, and less dense but treated areas may not be without all hair. New hair growth in treated areas may later be triggered by conditions such as hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, medications, or menopause. Such new growth consists of hair follicles that were permanently dormant until activated by the hormonal changes or medication.

Does it hurt?
The technology of Laser Hair Removal today is comfortable and, for many body areas, it is completely pain free. Most people describe it as a series of rubber band snaps. The sensation is affected by the number and thickness of the hair follicles and some parts of your body may be more sensitive than others. Compare that to a lifetime of shaving cuts and scrapes!

Where can it be done?
Anywhere there is hair.

Should I shave before the Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Yes. Shaving results in a more comfortable treatment with less irritation afterwards.


Now that you have the “down-low”, let’s get started. Laser hair removal saves time and money, it’s great for the environment (98% of women who shave use water and 52% of them leave the water running while they shave), it’s easy and effective, and you can forget about those stubborn ingrown hairs.
