As the term suggests, laser hair removal is a procedure where unwanted hair is exposed to a laser beam. The exposure to laser beams destroys the hair follicle. Laser hair removal in Longmont is an extremely popular cosmetic procedure. In the 20 years that the procedure has been available, it has become the most widely used, dermatological approved alternative to such methods as plucking, shaving, and waxing. Common locations for laser hair removal include the underarms, the upper lip, and the bikini area.
A laser-emitting device emits an intense, pulsating light beam. The light is directed to specific areas of concern, causing localized damage to hair follicles. The procedure does not damage nor harm skin that is not involved in the process. The laser targets and destroys the melanin located in the hair follicle. The professional aestheticians at JMarie Skin Studio find laser hair removal works best on dark hair. Hair follicles naturally recover, allowing natural hair growth to resume. It may be necessary to have several treatments before the hair follicles are destroyed, which results in an extended hair-free period.
Another very popular spa treatment is a facial. Facials in Longmont leave the skin clean, soft, and younger-looking. Facials help clear blocked pores and eliminate dead skin cells. A typical facial includes a gentle face massage, relaxing facial muscles, and slowing the onset of wrinkles. Facials help reduce stress. Stress also tends to prematurely age skin. Facials also reduce harm caused by exposure to the sun and smoke. Getting a facial is enjoyable. You will feel relaxed and at ease and your skin will feel amazing. It is recommended that you treat yourself to a facial at the change of seasons. Regular facials are one important key to clear, clean, smooth, and radiant skin throughout the year.
