Laser Hair reduction
Laser hair reduction provides the most effective and permanent solution
for unwanted facial and body hair.
What to expect?
· On an average, a patient needs about 6-10 sittings for best results (this may vary depending on the area being treated, the thickness of hair, and underlying hormonal disorders).
· With each sitting, you will notice the hair in the treated area becomes finer and thinner and takes longer to grow back.
· The sittings are spaced out about 1-2 months apart, so you may take about 8 months on an average to see full results
How should you prepare for it?
· Avoid waxing, bleaching and epilation for atleast one month prior to your session. If you must, it is safe to shave your hair. However we don’t advice shaving for the week before a session, as we need to assess your hair growth before each sitting.
The science behind it:
Lasers employ highly collimated laser beams of a specific wavelength that targets the hair follicle, and destroys it.
When dealing with Indian skin, one has to be very careful as this light also targets melanin (the pigment) in our skin, and can result in burns.
To avoid this, we use a highly specialized triple wavelength laser device that is tailor made and extremely safe for Indian skin.
What to expect in a session?
· Our sessions follow the utmost hygiene and medical precautions to protect your skin. We first mark out the areas to be treated, gently shave the areas and then proceed with the treatment.
· Though usually painless, in some patients, some areas such as the upper lip or the bikini area may be a little sensitive. For these areas, we can apply a numbing cream to ensure a painless experience for you.
· The time taken for different areas depends on the surface area being treated. For example, just doing your upper lip takes 5 minutes, your underarms may take 10-15 minutes while full legs may take about an hour owing to the large area being treated.
What changes can I expect?
Botox will reduce wrinkles and fine lines on your face. It can give you a brow lift, with more arches eyebrows. You will appear youthful and relaxed. It can also be used for slimming of the face in people with bulky cheeks or jawlines. Will my face become expressionless or mask-like?
Not at all! That’s a myth because of grossly overdone botox in celebrities. We believe in minimalistic botox, giving completely natural results.
You SHOULD still have facial lines and a few wrinkles, to keep it natural. It’s just the excess that we need to get rid of. You will be able to move your face just fine, it’s not those muscles that we’ll be relaxing.
Where else is botox used?
-Excess sweating (hyperhidrosis)
-Open pores
-Squint and eyelid spasms
-Spastic muscles
-Keloids
-Contractures after burns and paralysis
-Migraines
