Do you remember the days when men with hairy chests were considered hunks? If you are under the age of forty, probably not. It’s been a while. Hairy backs, on the other hand, have never been considered attractive, and neither has feminine facial hair.
Women have been shaving their legs and underarms for decades, and quite frankly, it’s a cumbersome chore that needs to be done frequently to avoid stubble. Nowadays it seems that body hair in general is considered unsightly on men as well as women. In an era where all of us seem busier than ever, shaving is time-consuming and the cost of professional waxing can add up. Ingrown hairs that can result from ongoing shaving or waxing are unsightly and can even be painful.
Imagine the freedom of enjoying smooth skin, free of stubble, without the need to shave or wax. Laser Hair Removal, which has been around since the mid nineteen-nineties, can permanently destroy the hair follicles and their ability to grow hair where it is unwanted. The earliest generation of laser to attempt laser hair removal was known as a Ruby. Rubies were not gems. Fortunately permanent hair reduction, as the treatment is officially known, has evolved. Nowadays the treatment is done with either an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light machine) or various lasers, known as Alexandrites, ND Yags or Diodes. Each has its pros and cons, its advantages, risks and limitations.
If you have ever been to Skinpossible’s website or the clinic itself you may be aware that Skinpossible has more technology than any other clinic in Calgary. Skinpossible has all of the above and all of our technology is tier-one within its class. We are thrilled to announce that we recently acquired a Lumenis Lightsheer!
So what’s the big deal about Lumenis Lightsheer? First of all, it is a diode laser that was designed specifically for permanent hair removal. Diodes are recognized to have the optimal depth of penetration and energy absorption to target hair follicles. Hair removal with diode lasers generally requires fewer treatments, but the Lightsheer goes beyond that. There are a number of additional reasons why we are so excited to introduce a Lightsheer to our practice.
Lightsheer can remove hair on any area of the body. In addition to being FDA cleared to treat all skin types, including tanned skin, it is also approved for the treatment of pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps), a common condition of the beard area occurring in up to 60% of African American men and other people with curly hair. It can remove all but fine, blond or white hair.
Me? I do remember when hairy chests were in vogue. What this means is that I spent many years dealing with hair and stubble before discovering the freedom that laser hair removal has to offer. I highly recommend it!! If you would like to enjoy soft hair-free skin, free of stubble, razor bumps or ingrown hairs, call and book your introductory consultation today. From now until April 30th we are SALEbrating with 15% off all laser hair removal series.
Skinpossible is a private medical aesthetics clinic located in Calgary in the community of Chaparral Valley. Consultations are free and so is parking. Evenings and Saturday appointments are available.
