Typical Hair Removal Treatments

Hair Removal

Hair removal overcomes the problem of unwanted hair that is common amongst both men and women. In many cases, excess body or facial hair can be the result of hereditary factors, running through generations. Hair removal treatments also combat the experience of unwanted or excess hair, a condition that worsens with age, pregnancy or menopause.

Hair does not come in any one size or type as follicles in different parts of the body produce differing types of hair. As a result, hair may grow in thick, bushy patches in some parts of the body or long thin strands. Furthermore, hair is produced in follicles that can be found at different depths and densities, each of which may be growing in one of three stages of growth at any given time. Until recently, this great variety in hair types and body locations made long-lasting hair removal a significant challenge.

Typical Hair Removal Treatments

Hair removal by tweezing and shaving

The drawbacks of this Typical Hair removal treatments approach include both being painful and time-consuming. Plucking is only a short-term hair removal solution as the hair invariably grows back and shaving is an ultimately ineffective way to permanently rid oneself of excess hair.

Hair removal creams

Messy chemical depilatory creams can cause redness and irritation, the Hair removal having no permanent effect on unwanted hair. Prescription creams often provide good results, but they must be used at least twice per day, and never provide a permanent hair removal solution.

Waxing is quite popular, especially among women for Hair removal . This painful method only provides hair-free results for two to four weeks and can cause skin irritation and ingrown hairs.

Treatments for Skin Pigmentation

Melanocytes are cells that produce pigment and influence one’s skin colour. When there is an abnormal production and deposition of melanin, it results in excessive skin pigmentation known as hyperpigmentation. There are several causes for pigmentation including UV exposure, hormones, skin trauma and genetics. Pigmentation can be differentiated as epidermal (superficial), dermal (deep) and combination. Skin pigmentation and skin types require different treatments and UV protection on a daily basis.

Results Laser Clinic provides a number of treatments and technologies for pigmentation. This includes the most advanced Lasers, IPL pigmentation, microdermabrasion, scientifically proven chemical peels and skin treatments to provide the best solution. More importantly, therapists cater to your individual needs and budget by providing an honest and realistic outcome in the consultation. When discussing treatment options with your therapist, you will be advised both of your suitability for the treatment, costs and benefits.

Everyone will have different colour skin and the ideal look of healthy skin is an even skin tone.  There are a number of factors that affect skin quality and skin disorders such as pigmentation and these affect the colour of your skin too. Darker skin tones tend to pigment, scar and mark more easily compared to lighter skin tones & they leave behind a lot of permanent pigmentation marks. Results Laser Clinic offers safe solutions for different skin types.

Expectations of Capillary Treatments

Before the IPL treatment for capillaries and facial veins, the client is diagnosed and asked a few questions in regards to their skin and its condition. Protective eyewear must be worn by the patient and specialist due to the brightness of the Intense Pulse Light (IPL). During the treatment, our specialist will apply a smooth, glass surface of the IPL handpiece to the skin. Light is then delivered to the skin surface and areas affected by facial veins and capillaries in precise pulses that are typically pain free. Once IPL treatment is completed, clients may feel a little heat on the surface of the treated area and some redness which can last up to 2 hours. However, clients are able to resume normal activities shortly after after treatment.

Causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots

Lets take a look at the causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots. But First…

Signs and Symptoms of pigmentation and sun spots

Pigmentation can vary in size and colour however they are usually darker than the skin although they can be pink in colour. Fair skinned individuals are more likely to be affected by moles and freckles which can also be attributed to hereditary factors. Almost everyone has at least some kind of pigmentation whether it be freckles, sun spots, moles or birth marks. There are no real symptoms that cause pigmentation and they may even appear overnight, however in some cases what may appear like normal pigmentation may also be cancerous. Therefore it is imperative that excessive exposure to the sun is approached in a safe manner using a highly protective sunscreen with an SPF of 50+, whilst those with a history of cancer in the family can be put at greater risk.

Causes of Pigmentation and Sun Spots

Causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots is an excessive amount of melanin found in certain skin cells. These skin cells generally carry higher levels of melanocytes which produce the melanin causing the skin to appear pigmented in certain areas.
