Laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, so if there’s still hair on the surface of your skin, then the laser will target that hair first. By targeting the hairs on your skin first, it will hurt more, so shave first. NOTE: Some clinics may require you to NOT shave your hairs at your FIRST appointment, so they can assess how dark and coarse your hairs are. Following the initial treatment, it will be best to shave first.

Here are 10 things you should know before you begin your first treatment.

A medical spa will generally offer different treatments from a day spa where relaxation isn’t just the main focus, but rather, results. This means that some treatments will require some down time. Due to these technical skills, the estheticians’ training is more advanced — they are medical estheticians.

It’s the Season for Laser Hair Removal in Oakville!

Were you stuck shaving all summer long?  Now is the best time to begin your hair free journey with laser hair removal in Oakville.  In Oakville, the Shores Skin Clinic has a medical grade laser machine and operates at the highest hygienic standards. In as little as 6 treatments, you will be able to ditch your razors or wax appointments, and rock your shorts and tank tops without a second glance at your hairs.

Benefits of the Laser Hair Removal in Oakville

1. Quick Treatments – With modern technology, treatments are quick and easy.  Different treatment areas range in treatment time, where small areas can be completed in as little as 5 minutes and larger areas can take about 20-30 minutes.  If you come shaved ahead of time, treatment times will be even quicker.

2. Save Money – With laser hair removal, you can be hair free in as little as 6 treatments, whereas with shaving or waxing, it is a lifetime commitment.  Adding up all the supplies you would need over the years, it is definitely more cost effective to do a series of laser and have permanent hair reduction.

3. Save Time – With waxing and shaving, you have to make an appointment, or plan out what days you need to shave, this adds a lot of time to your schedule.  Once you complete your laser hair removal sessions, you don’t have to think twice about your hairs.  Time is Money!

4. Prevent Ingrown Hairs – Ingrown hairs can be painful, annoying and can leave marks on your skin.  If you suffer from ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing, then laser hair removal is your solution.  Since the laser kills the hair root, this prevents the hairs from coming back, therefore, no ingrown hairs.

5. No hair regrowth needed – With waxing, you have to have a certain length of hair growth (which defeats the purpose of having smooth skin).  With laser hair removal, you can easily shave in between treatments so you don’t have to wait for your next session.

Laser hair removal is an investment in the beginning but it will be one of the best investments that you can do for yourself.  Always being with a consultation and always follow post care after any laser treatments.  Are you ready to be hair free?

Top 5 Reasons to Visit a Medical Spa

You have heard of day spas, but have you heard of a medical spa?  There are some similarities but medical spas could give you that edge in your treatments that you have been looking for.  Here are the top 5 reasons you will want to start visiting a medical spa.

1. The Certification of the Staff

 Since medical spas offer more intensive treatments (both invasive and non-invasive treatments), the educational training is more advanced than regular esthetics. Typically, medical estheticians will study more in-depth about the skin, treatment techniques, and ingredients.

 2.  The Treatment Options

 We all know what we would like to improve about our skin or body, but we don’t necessarily know how to achieve those results.  Typically, the concerns that most clients express (ie. Wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage), will need more advanced treatment solutions and home care that day spas cannot deal with.  However, medical spas don’t only deal with advanced treatments, but will have an array of treatments that range from no down-time to a couple of weeks of recovery.

3. The Product Line Options

Treatments are great, but home care is equally important to maintain and/or improve results. Generally day spas will carry more gentle lines, whereas Medical spas will carry medical grade skin care lines. The advanced medical grade lines are supported by scientific research, a higher grade of ingredients and can be quite strong, so it is important to follow product protocol.

4. The Treatment Experience

If you’re looking to solely have a relaxing spa experience, then a Medical spa may not be the right spot for you.  The focus of medical spas is to give clients great results, where some treatments may not be as enjoyable.  There are devices and skin care products that may feel more intense during the treatment (ie. Lasers and chemical peels), and you may have some down time after the treatment.  However, the end goal is to give you visible results.

5.  The Results

No one likes to spend money on something that fails to deliver, however, when you invest in the treatments at a medical spa you will see visible results.  Since Medical spas have access to more advanced technology, skin care lines, and training, you will more likely achieve your skin goals compared to a day spa where treatments are more “fluff and buff”.  

Always do your own research and find a skin therapist that you’re comfortable with.  With the right guidance, you will age gracefully while having the healthiest skin possible.
