FAQs about IPL Hair Removal

FAQs about IPL Hair RemovalSpring is a great time to get your legs, arm pits and bikini line hair-free for summer. Kristin Shefchik, plastic surgical nurse, and Kathleen Klienhans, aesthetician, have prepared the following responses to some frequently asked questions.

Q: How many treatments will I need?

A: There are three growth phases for hair: anagen (active growth), catagen (regression) and telogen (resting phase when the hair is being shed in preparation for new hair growth). As with any type of light-based hair reduction, the treatment is only effective on follicles in the anlagen phase. Therefore, the treatment will require several procedures to remove all follicles.

Q: Are there any products I should avoid putting on my skin before treatment?

A: Do not use any lotions on your skin the day of your IPL treatment. For the facial area, avoid using topical acne medications 7 days prior to treatment.

Q: Does it hurt?

A: Our system includes the newest in Pulsed Light technology. They have self-cooling tips that protect the surrounding skin while allowing the light to penetrate to the hair follicle. The procedure feels like the snap of a rubber band on the skin.

We encourage you to visit our MediSpa for a complimentary evaluation of your skin. Until May 15, 2008, if you purchase 7 laser treatments, your 8th treatment will be free!

Achieve a More Youthful Looking Neck and Décolletage

Achieve a More Youthful Looking Neck and DecolleteAfter one of the snowiest winters in years, temperatures are finally getting warm enough to start showing some skin. Are you ready to show your neck and décolletage areas, or will you still be wearing turtlenecks in June?

Your neck and décolletage areas could be aging quicker than you are due to lack of a proper skin care. A close-up analysis from one of our aestheticians will reveal any damages of such neglect.

Women can be reluctant to apply moisturizers on these areas because they do not think they need it, but this assumption is mistaken.

The neck loses elasticity quickly because the muscle is not connected to a bone structure. Both the neck and the décolletage areas contain very little fatty tissue and less sebaceous glands than on the face, which makes these areas very prone to dryness and wrinkle formation. This is why these delicate areas require a special daily home care routine, as well as a monthly professional treatment at the Renaissance MediSpa to maintain its natural firmness, prevent moisture loss and keep its natural youthful, smooth appearance.

The Renaissance MediSpa staff can get your neck and décolletage areas looking great with a custom program of chemical peels, photo rejuvenation and intense pulsed light treatments.

Our popular Obagi skin care line also has a new décolletage system to restore healthy, young-looking skin in as little as four weeks. Please consult Nicole Blair to determine if you are a candidate for using this product or to make a reservation for a skin consultation.
