FDA Cleared Diode laser hair removal is a painless process

Diode combination laser wavelength is 808/755/1064nm, which is the golden standard for hair removal. The diode laser will directly work on the melanin in the hair follicle. Meanwhile, because the absorption of the light, the water and melanin in the epidermis will not absorb the 808nm laser. So, you will not feel pain during the diode hair removal laser treatment.

Laser treatment takes more than one treatment.

The hair growth cycle are:  anagen, catagen and telogen. Only the hair during anagen could be clearly removed. The hair during catagen and telogen period will not be removed. So generally speaking, it needs 4 to 6 treatments for permanent and clearly hair removal by diode laser. The interval between every treatment is 28 days.

Hair needs to be shaved before the treatment.

The hair on the skin’s surface will react to the laser. which will cause some pain or burnt hair smell. Make up should be take off before the hair removal treatment, the color in the makeup maybe burning your skin.

The treatment is fast.

Normally hair removal treatment by diode laser is between 5 to 30 minutes (Lip, arm, leg, back and Bikini…). Diode laser machine use in-motion SHR hair removal technology. The treatment frequency is up to 10Hz, we call diode laser sweeping hair removal.

AVOID THE GYM FOR 2-3 DAYS.

After laser hair removal treatment, the heat is keeping in our skins in 24 hours. So, we advise not go to the gym, take saunas and hot showers.

AVOID THE SUN.

Before and after the laser hair removal treatment, you should avoid sunbathing and sun exposure. If you have a tan already, you’ll need to wait till it fades before laser hair removal treatment.

There is no downtime.

However, you need to avoid sun expose, saunas and too much sport, your normal life will be not disturbed. Laser hair removal is non-invasive and non-surgical. There is no downtime.

Laser is less painful and more effective than other hair removal treatments.

Waxing is one method for hair removal, but it is not permanent. Electrolysis is permanent but the process is too slow. IPL hair removal is permanent, but laser hair removal is more effective, faster and painless.

Dark hair is more easily removed.

The hair density, hair color, hair thickness depends on the difficulty of laser hair removal treatment. Normally deep color and thick hair are easier removed.

Grey or blond hair is not able to be treated by laser.

There is no melanin in the white hair follicle, so the laser could not be absorbed.

Laser can be used on all skin colors.

There is no skin type limit for laser hair removal. Laser hair removal has been proved safe and effective for dark or black skin.

The only forbidden medications are Accutane and Retin-A, which must be stopped before hair removal treatment.

Our non-surgical procedures diminish the appearance of scars, stretch marks and vitiligo.  Our combination of services such as Microneedling, Rf Microneedling, Camouflage Makeup and Light and Heat based services address your specific needs.

The Causes of Stretch Marks.

The skin is elastic enough to stretch and return to its original size. However, when sudden changes happen, the skin copes by producing less collagen and disordered fibers that appear as long discolored streaks. They are commonly seen in areas like the thighs, upper arms, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen.

Both men and women can develop stretch marks. These marks are commonly tied to physical changes like puberty, weight gain, rapid weight loss, and pregnancy. Although it is something that everyone experiences, people are eager to erase stretch marks for personal reasons.

That’s why dermatologists and aestheticians everywhere are developing effective treatments to get rid of stretch marks. And among the many solutions available, microneedling is one of the most effective procedures on the market today.

What is Lash Lift?

There can often be confusion over what a lash lift is. In simple terms, it is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment. It is designed to boost the curl pattern of your own lashes and provide you with the classic no-makeup makeup look.

But how does it work? A lash lift is a chemical process that curls your lashes. Unlike lash extensions, this type of lash enhancement only works with your natural lash length. There are no faux lashes involved in this procedure.

That’s the best part about a lash lift. This cosmetic treatment boosts one of your natural features to its fullest potential.

If you are already comfortable with cosmetic treatments, then the process will seem familiar to you. If not, then think about a lash lift as a hair perming appointment for your eyelashes.

A lash lift is carried out in a similar fashion as an eyelash extension appointment. A professional Lash Lift and Tint product has three main phases.

• Prepping your lashes
• Perming Your lashes
• Conditioning your lashes

Each phase is given special attention and involves a number of chemicals. Your first lash lift experience should be carried out by a professional who knows how to handle the lash lift chemical properly.

Getting to know the lash lift process doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep reading to uncover the secrets of the lash lift process.

The Process

The lash process begins by preparing your lashes to endure the chemicals that are about to be placed on them.

Deep conditioning your lashes before you arrive at the salon is a great way to keep your lashes healthy after the treatment.

When the lash artist preps your lashes they will use either a conditioning treatment, a bonding agent or both.

Before any chemicals are applied, you will have a thorough discussion about the lash lift process. If your eyes are sensitive to stimulation then be mindful of that before the appointment.

For example, you could wear glasses if you normally wear contacts and bring eye drops to keep your eyes hydrated.

Once you have a good understanding of what’s going on, you will be asked to lie down on a sanitized surface. This process may remind you of an eyebrow waxing or threading treatment. It is carried out in a very similar way.

Your eyes will remain closed for the entire procedure. In fact, silicone pads will be placed on top of your eyelids so opening them isn’t something you’ll want to do.

After you are in a comfortable position, your lash artist will place the silicone pads on your eyelids. Then, she will prepare your lashes. It’s important that your lashes are clean before they apply any bonding agents.

If your lash artist conditions your lashes first then she will clean them after. The perming agent that she applies is safe for your face but you should still try your best to remain still.

The perming agent varies by product lines, salons, and the preference of your lash artist. Make sure you discuss any allergy concerns you may have with your lash artist before the procedure begins.

Your lash artist will be able to tell you the ingredients of their perming solution to make sure that there are no conflicts.

The lash perming agent is what is responsible for achieving your desired curl pattern. It is important to note that different perming agent formulas and lash compositions can react differently from client to client.

Since there are no lash extentions involved, your curl pattern results can vary on your natural lash length.

However, stronger perming agents can create a deeper curl. If you have short stubborn lashes then consider discussing perming agent strength with your lash artist.

Keep in mind that a stronger perming agent can mean more damage to your lashes. Lash lifts, if done professionally, can provide little to no damage to your natural lashes.

The amount of damage that will affect your lashes depends on how long the solution was left on your lashes, the quality of the chemicals and how will you take care of your lash lift after the procedure.

After your lash lift appointment, your lash artist will discuss how you should care for your lashes. The next 2 days following your appointment are important for how long your lash lift will last.

Your lash lift needs to remain dry and clean for the next 48 hours. That means no direct contact with water or sweat!

If you follow all of the aftercare instructions properly, you can expect to maintain your lash lift for over 6 weeks. Expert lash lift clients can make their lash lift last over 8 weeks.

Professional Dental Grade Teeth Whitening Treatment is non-sensitizing and whitens up to eight shades in 1 Hr session

30 Min Touch ups

The Process:

 The technician will first record the shade of your teeth. This is to get an idea about the degree to which your teeth have to be whitened. It will also help the technician to figure out how concentrated the whitening solution has to be to get that shade.

The technician will then give you a pumice cloth to clean and polish your teeth. The whitening agent is best absorbed by a dry surface, and thus, your technician may even keep a gauze pad in your mouth for some while.

Cleaning your teeth also helps in getting rid of any existing plaque from your teeth, before whitening. The technician will then show you how to place a retractor in your mouth to keep your gums, tongue, and lips from interfering with the whitening agent.

Hydrogen peroxide solution, which is the best bleaching agent known for teeth whitening will be used to coat your teeth. The frontal side of your teeth will be coated, while the posterior side will be left out. This is because the purpose of whitening your teeth is just to improve the aesthetics of your smile, and the backside of your teeth doesn’t show no matter how wide you smile!

The solution temporarily opens up the pores in your teeth, penetrating them and fighting off the stains from within to whiten your teeth. The coating would stay on your teeth for nearly half an hour before the technician  decides to proceed to the next step.

Your mouth will then be rinsed, thoroughly. This is to get rid of any residue of the solution. Do not be surprised if the dentist decides to brush your teeth as well. This is probably because the next step involves fluoride treatment!

Your teeth will finally be brushed with fluoride varnish. Fluoride is given to keep the shine of your teeth and sustain the whiteness you’ve just achieved. Besides, fluoride also helps in getting rid of any existing plaque in your mouth, since they work as a catalyst in staining your teeth! And that’s all with the whitening process! The ADA warns that there might be a little bit of temporary tooth sensitivity after teeth whitening. However, it goes away in no time!

Want to sustain that whiteness for a long time to come? Generally, it doesn’t last longer than 6 months. However, keep away from coffee, smoking, and starchy foods, just to name a few to elongate the life of the whiteness in your teeth!

Wake up and spend less time getting ready with flawlessly applied semi-permanent makeup.  

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure to create fuller more defined brows specifically tailored to each client. A stylist uses a pen-like tool to create small individual strokes in your skin. After pigment is added, these strokes mimic natural hairs. Microblading is perfect for those who are looking to enhance their brow density, or change their eyebrow shape.  

BEFORE YOUR SERVICE

The result of microblading is directly linked to the health of the skin underlying your brows. Help us create the perfect conditions for the best results by AVOIDING the following:

• Retin A skincare products (30 days prior to and after microblading)
• Botox (2 weeks prior to procedures)
• Brow Tint (2 weeks prior to procedure prior to and after microblading)
• Electrolysis
• Brow Waxing or Tweezing
• Facial Peels (two weeks prior)
• Tanning or Sunburn
• Blood thinners are a contraindicator to Microblading.  Bleeding during the service makes it more difficult for your stylist to navigate and also can water down the pigments being introduced, Some common blood thinners include:
• Alcohol (two days prior)
• Coffee (day of)
• Aspirin
• Fish Oil
• Vitamin E
• Ibuprofen
• Niacin   

PLEASE DO:

​

• Wear your normal makeup to your appointment. We want to craft a brow that not only compliments your face but looks like “you.”
• Wash your hair before you arrive, we ask you don’t wash your hair again until at least two days after your treatment.

​

​THE APPOINTMENT

Your first appointment will take approximately two hours from start to finish. Your specialist will consult with you on design, shape and color prior to completing the treatment and will send you off with all you need to know to support the healing process.

THE HEALING PROCESS AND AFTERCARE

Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. The pigment will appear very natural looking immediately after the procedure followed by:

• The color of the pigment will appear much darker the next day or so.
• After the first week your brows May seem to fade or ‘disappear’ as they heal and possibly develop micro-scabs.  
• Week 3-4 will be a phase of “blooming color” as the skin is healed and the color surfaces and looks beautiful.
• The final pigment and look of your eyebrows will be apparent approximately 6-8 weeks after your first appointment.
• A perfecting session at 8 weeks will be done so we can adjust the shape and density to perfection.  

INITIAL AFTERCARE

• Although aftercare may vary by skin type, in general the following is advised:
• Do not wash your hair for the first 2 days after
• Do not get brows wet for 2 weeks
• Keep moisturized for the first week with Aquaphor morning and night, use a sterile swab to apply.
• The second week dry heal, refrain from the need to pick the area as it may lift the pigment. The affected skin will fall off naturally on its own. A slight tapping may be done with the fingertips if itching occurs as the brows heal.
• If an overproduction of lymph or buildup appears the first 2 days a gentle wash with fingertips and sterile water may be done, then aquaphor reapplied.
• No products or makeup should be put on the area for the first 2 weeks.

SIX WEEK PERFECTING SESSION

​

Your six to eight week touch up is an opportunity for your specialist to answer any questions you have and make any adjustments needed. This touch up is complimentary, lasts an hour and a half and is a great opportunity for us to answer any questions you may have or make adjustments after you’ve lived in your brows for a while. We want to make sure you’re happy and your brows are perfect.

IS MICROBLADING THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU?

​

What makes microblading unique from brow tattooing is the levels and placement of the pigment being more shallow. This results in a more natural appearance. Because microblading strokes are fine, they will fade, most often between one to three years, varying from client to client. 

" Is it painful?".......Some clients report small levels of discomfort, but this is rare and depends on each individual.   For each appointment, we build 30 minutes of anesthetic processing time to make sure you are protected from too much discomfort.
