Juliet’s Day Spa uses Latest and Most Advanced Equipment to Provide Everlasting Beauty

Friday, June 30th, 2006

The state-of-the-art laser pulsed-light system used by Juliet Day
Spa permanently clears away unwanted hair quickly, comfortably, and
safely. Developed in conjunction with leading medical researchers at
Massachusetts General Hospital, the system is the first laser to remove
hair safely and effectively from all types of skin, including Asian,
African American, Latin American, and even tanned skin. Juliet’s Day
Spa is unlike other laser treatments that are less technologically
advanced.

Using the latest and most advanced equipment, their IPL laser
treatment is ideal for all types of skin and requires significantly
fewer treatments. At Juliet’s Day Spa, they ensure the hair follicle is
completely disabled by overlapping the treated areas, this ensures the
follicle absorbs the light fully resulting in fewer more effective
treatments. The clinic invites you to compare treatments at other spas
and medical clinics that may take 15+ sessions and with their
competitive pricing there is nothing to lose.

Possible disadvantages of laser hair removal

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Laser hair removal is a safe treatment but, as a rule, some
temporary side effects are possible, including darker or lighter marks,
especially in dark skin and tanned skins. There is no risk of burn if
the device is correctly tuned to the skin color. The treatment involves
a series of impulses leading to a feeling of prickling and slight burn.
One can compare the feeling of the treatment with that which One feels
if one takes a series of blows with a rubber band.

In the few minutes following the treatment, the skin of the treated
area turns slightly pink, and you might feel a little sunburned for a
couple of days. Each impulse of the laser of hair removal treats a
surface of approximately two square centimeters with ten hairs. The
duration of each laser session will depend on the surface of the area
to be treated. Laser hair removal is not reimbursed by any health
insurance.

Attributes of specific laser systems designed to ensure safe and effective treatment

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

The need for a rapid, noninvasive method for hair removal has led to
the development of various light sources for hair removal. These
include ruby, alexandrite, diode, and Nd:YAG lasers and intense pulsed
light sources. These devices target either an endogenous chromophore
(eg, melanin) or an exogenous chromophore (eg, carbon suspension,
photosensitizer, exogenous dye). Light can destroy hair follicles by
thermal, mechanical or photochemical mechanisms. Hair removal has been
attempted using each of these 3 means.

Lasers and noncoherent light sources have recently been introduced
to induce selective damage to hair follicles. The mechanisms by which
these systems induce selective damage to hair follicles are based on
the principles of selective photothermolysis. This principle predicts
that selective thermal damage of a pigmented target structure will
result when sufficient fluence at a wavelength, preferentially absorbed
by the target, is delivered during a time equal to or less than the
thermal relaxation time of the target.

Problematic skin conditions of unwanted & excess hair can be treated by laser hair removal

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Unwanted hair is a problem shared both by men and women. Some people experience unwanted or excessive hair growth at puberty; others find it to be a condition that grows progressively worse with age. Some women experience additional hair growth during pregnancy or menopause. A few diseases also have excessive hair growth as a symptom, but these are rare.

Occasionally, hair follicles can become irritated or inflamed, causing mild to moderate pain. While unwanted or excess hair is primarily a cosmetic concern, it can be very distressing to those who suffer its effects. Unwanted hair can also be the source of considerable embarrassment, limiting people’s activities and lifestyles.

High-tech lasers and light sources are rapidly changing the treatment for hair removal. Among laser and light-based devices, the LightSheer™ Diode Laser System and the IPL™ system are the gold standard for safety, superior results, and patient satisfaction.

Increasing Number of Men are using Laser Hair Removal to Remove Excess Hair

Monday, June 26th, 2006

More and more men are using laser hair removal to make their chests
and backs smoother and less furry. Laser hair removal for men used to
be limited to swimmers who wanted more speed or body builders who
didn’t want dense hair to hide their sculpted muscles. But now laser
hair removal is a popular choice among men of all ages, ethnicity and
professions. In fact, a survey in Men’s Fitness magazine
reported that if men could change one thing about their bodies, 54.9%
would rather change their hair follicles than their muscles. Some
clinics report that 50% of their laser hair removal clients are men.

Dr. Prasad says that he has had men come in to remove hair from
virtually every part of their body. Many people feel freer to take off
their shirts in public when they don’t have such dense hair covering
their torso. There are many men who get folliculitis on their necks
from shaving or ingrown hairs—laser hair removal is very effective in
solving that problem.

anada: Vancouver, The Gentle touch gets Consumers’ Choice Award 2005/6

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

The Gentle Touch is the winner of the Consumers’ Choice Award 2005/6
in the category Laser Hair Removal. The clinic is Thankful all the
loyal customers who made it possible. Laser hair removal is important
for both men and women. As a woman, it may be surprising to learn that
just about the entire body is covered with hair. Because most of this
hair is fine and pale, it usually isn’t visible to the naked eye.

As a man, shaving or trimming the beard and mustache are regular
grooming tasks you’re used to. But what you may not like is that bothersome excess hair
on your back or shoulders, around the ears, or between the eyebrows
that seems to grow back faster than you can pluck or shave it. Or
perhaps you’re a competitive athlete for whom regular shaving of body
hair is a tedious chore. It may hence be time to consider hair removal
with the LightSheer™ Diode Laser.

Usage Recommendations for long pulsed laser diode system for laser hair epilation

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Choosing the right system is the most important step in the entire
process of laser epilation. The following guide will help you match the
correct system with the general criteria necessary for successful
usage. If you are new to laser epilation it is advisable that you
consider the CW line first. These systems are very easy to operate and
give excellent results. You will only need to set the power output at a
level that is comfortable and effective. The LP line requires greater
technical involvement when choosing the correct ‘pulse frequency’ mode
and tracking pulses delivered.
