Fashion & Beauty: Say Goodbye to Razors

33

Imagine not having to shave? Imagine getting to the beach and not worrying that you missed a spot? Imagine life without razor bumps or cutting yourself?! What would it be like?!

It seems like it would be amazing! And for those who have already found the solution to this issue, good for you, you should’ve shared; but since you didn’t, I will. 

Laser hair removal! 

Laser hair removal uses a laser that emits light that is absorbed by pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting it to heat, damaging the hair follicle. Preventing and delaying hair growth to the treated area. 

Depending on a person’s skin and hair type, treatment results may vary. Lighter hair pigmentations may react to treatment easier and faster than darker hair. Some people may require more treatments to acquire permanently smooth, hair-free skin. 

The legs, underarms, bikini, upper lip and abdomen are the most common areas of laser hair removal. 

The appointments are quick, and basically painless. 

Marisa Brites, the lead laser technician at South Shore Laser, located in Babylon, N.Y., says that she has had clients cry, thanking her for making them feel confident in their own skin. 

Brites says that many people had fear of lasers in the past, that it can cause skin issues, burn, or be painful. But she assured me that “lasers have come a long way!” 

“Laser is painless, it may cause redness at the sight of the treated area but that will go away.” Years ago lasers would leave keloid scarring on darker skin tones, but that’s a thing of the past. Lasers are safe to use on all skin tones and they are free of radiation. 

South Shore laser has been in business for 12 years and counting. They suggest starting your laser journey now, as the fall and winter months are here. Laser treatments are best served out of the sun, to obtain the best results and  prevent burning easily and causing skin sensitivity. 

But laser hair removal isn’t the only laser around. Many people flock to lasers to help slow down the aging process. It’s a great alternative to invasive procedures. 

You can do resurfacing treatments to reverse sun spots, stretch marks, acne scars, cellulite  and prevent wrinkles. Now is a great time to begin reversing all the sun damage that this summer did to your skin and get it prepared for next summer. 

South Shore laser can  create a customized treatment plan for your specific needs. You can check out their instagram @southshorelaser to stay updated with new products, lasers and promotions.
