EC Beauty MD: Skin Resurfacing and Laser Hair Removal

Posted January 28, 2011 by Suzy Kenny.

Laser Hair Removal:
Finally, a more permanent approach to hair removal has arrived. As a leading laser centre, EvelineCharles' clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art lasers and highly trained laser technicians to provide effective and results-driven laser hair removal for all types of skin and hair. Through a series of sessions, the lasers will target each follicle to remove unwanted hair. The exact number of treatments required will depend on various parameters including the area of the body treated, skin color, coarseness of hair and gender. 

Skin Resurfacing:
Skin Resurfacing uses a laser to remove the outer layers of the skin's surface to reveal a fresher-looking face. The top layer of skin is constantly exposed and battered by environmental elements such as the wind and sun. The skin resurfacing treatment triggers the body's natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin tissue which tightens the skin and improves the skin texture. The newly revealed skin will be smooth, fresh and youthful in appearance.

This is what you can expect when coming to EvelineCharles Salons/ Spas/ Beauty MD for your next laser treatment... Knowledge is power:

All of our technicians have been educated and signed off by a certified laser technician instructor. Their training course involves hands on training and sessions with the laser manufacturer themselves.

The staff at Beauty MD are fortunate to have Dr. Hatfield as a Medical Director, he is able to aid with any inquiries or concerns staff have in regards to providing the best treatment and care possible.

Step 1: A thorough consultation with a trained laser technician and image consultant to ensure the right treatment path for you. What the technician MUST know:

• Your ethnic background.
• Your sensitivity to sunlight.
• If you are on any medications.
• Medical history and previous laser experiences.

Step 2: Before your laser treatment:

• Prior to laser hair removal don't wax, tweeze or epilate. Day before or day of the procedure, shave the area to be treated.
• Avoiding sun exposure before and after laser treatments is exceptionally important. Lasers react to pigment; therefore, any excess pigment in your skin can affect your results and increase the potential for burns.

Step 3: Your first laser treatment:

• It can be painful but every effort will me made to minimize soreness by use of appropriate pain management techniques.
• For enhanced patient comfort, our lasers use a self-directed flow of compressed cool air to the treatment area.
• Before discharge, your Beauty MD image consultant will give you after care instructions and contact information to use as needed.

Step 4: Healing with optimal cosmetic results:

• Stay out of the sun. If you need to go out, apply sunscreen with a SPF factor of 25+ depending upon the treatment. Although sunscreen should be an everyday occurrence you must be especially vigilant for at least six months after treatment.
• In the winter turn off the heated seats in your car and make sure heat is not pointing directly at treatment area.
• After your treatment your Beauty MD consultant will go through a skin care treatment regime including all professional dermatological products that must be used to ensure optimal results.

Here at EvelineCharles Salons/Spas/Beauty MD we make sure our clients are well informed. If you have any questions or concerns regarding laser services please don't hesitate to call our Beauty MD consultant, Tamara, at our South Edmonton Common location: 780.643.2183.
