Laser Hair Removal: What to Expect

Unwanted hair does not just exist among women; it’s a common problem among men as well. So whether you’re tired of shaving your legs, chest, bikini line, back, or underarms, laser hair removal has you covered. Allure Laser & Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL offers laser hair removal treatments, which is the longest-lasting option available for hair removal. So whether you’re a man or a woman you can benefit from these treatments and say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and tweezing.

How it Works

After you both put on protective eye wear, one of the professionals on our team helping you get rid of your body hair  will calibrate and use the laser device over your skin. The photons from the laser impact with the pigment in the skin, and this effectively disrupts the hair follicles. The hair starts falling out at the rate of a quarter-sized region per second. This makes quick work of arm pit hair, and it does not take too long to get rid of the hair on your back also.

This method even works on unwanted facial hair, which is usually a problem for women. After three to eight sessions with the laser, you start to notice that your hair is growing in thinner and less frequently. Before long, it stops growing in for longer periods of time. This makes keeping your unwanted hair growth a much easier problem to maintain than before. Additionally, you are not dealing with scrapes, nicks, and cuts from using a razor.

Calibrating the Laser

If you do not have a light pale skin tone and darker hair, the laser must be calibrated to match your skin tone for optimal results. In the past, men and women who had darker skin tones were out of luck when it came to laser hair removal treatments. However, the lasers in use today are far better designed to address the problems associated with skin tone and hair color. Nowadays, virtually anyone can get laser hair removal treatments to better manage unwanted hair growth. After going under the laser, it is important to remember to not subject your skin to direct sunlight. It is even advised that you use sun screen with an SPF rating of 30 or higher for a while.

Eliminate Unwanted Lines and Wrinkles with BOTOX Injections

Restoring your youthful beauty doesn’t need to be a time-consuming or uncomfortable process. If you are tired of masking age-related imperfections with expensive beauty products, then you might be the perfect candidate for BOTOX® injections.

Active Ingredients Inside BOTOX®
The primary ingredient in BOTOX® is a unique substance that consists of a purified protein solution. This solution has been used to treat dozens of different health conditions over the last few decades. When it is injected into a muscle, it relaxes the soft tissue. Over the course of a few hours, that muscle will unclench and become relaxed. In addition to treating serious muscle conditions, BOTOX® is also an effective option for dynamic wrinkles.

Understanding Dynamic Wrinkles
Many patients are surprised to hear that there are actually a few different types of wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles develop when an individual repeatedly contracts a muscle. An example of that would be crow’s feet around an individual’s eyes. As the collagen and elastin in the skin break down, those wrinkles become more pronounced. An individual may also clench the muscles near the eyes and forehead without even realizing it, and that will make the fine lines very visible. The most effective way to reduce the appearance of those dynamic wrinkles is to force the muscles to unclench.

Ideal BOTOX® Candidate
Even though this injectable can be very effective, it isn’t the best option for everyone. As a general rule, this product is a good option for healthy adults who are struggling with fine lines and wrinkles. Patients who have been diagnosed with any serious skin conditions should notify our team of those issues during the initial consultation.

An Average BOTOX® Appointment
One of the reasons why injectable treatments have become so popular in recent years is because they only take a few minutes to administer. If you are nervous about discomfort, then we can begin this procedure by applying a topical anesthetic to the treatment site. After your skin is numb, one or more doses of BOTOX® will be injected into the skin with a fine needle.

Micro-Needling: What to Expect

Has your skin seen better days? Skin problems like acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation can definitely leave their mark and have a negative impact on your appearance. Many people mistakenly believe that only surgery offers the kind of results that have a noticeable effect on skin problems like these. In reality, a growing number of non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments have become available recently to offer patients significant results without the need to go under the knife. If you can correct or minimize your skin problem without the need for surgery, you can avoid some of the potential complications and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. You should be happy to know that many minimally-invasive treatments like micro-needling exist!

A Closer Look at Micro-Needling

Collagen Induction Therapy, commonly known as micro-needling, is a minimally-invasive approach to anti-aging. The treatment stimulates your own body’s natural collagen repair process. It helps to improve your skin tone and texture and minimize signs of aging. The process stimulates your skin cells into producing growth factors that encourage skin remodeling to minimize signs of aging, sun damage, scars, and hyperpigmentation.

What are the Advantages?

As a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation technique, micro-needling allows you to resume your daily activities almost immediately. Your results will continue to build in the days, weeks, and months after your treatment. Your skin will be stimulated into producing and laying down fresh collagen and elastin fibers to renew the appearance of your face. In the process, problems like scars, wrinkles, and other skin complaints will be fade away.

Combination Treatments

Many patients find that they have even better results when they combine their micro-needling treatment sessions with the application of topical skin care products. One problem that topicals often have is that they have difficulty penetrating very deep into your skin due to the outer skin barrier called the stratum corneum. The tiny micro-channels created by micro-needling allow topicals to bypass this barrier and penetrate more deeply into your skin, greatly enhancing their penetration and effectiveness.

Multiple Sessions

One micro-needling treatment may be enough if you are only dealing with minor skin complaints. Many patients find that they see additional benefits when they undergo multiple treatment sessions.
