Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: New York City?s LaserTouch Aesthetics Offers Unique Laser Hair Removal Services for Women & Men

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

According to Mike Sendogan, Clinical Director of LaserTouch Aesthetics, ?recent advancements in technology have made laser hair removal an accessible and convenient option for anyone frustrated by temporary hair removal options.? With nearly ten years of experience, LaserTouch Aesthetics helps New Yorkers go from stubble to smooth with advanced laser technology.

Laser Hair Removal for Men

According to Mike, ?for many years permanent hair removal treatments were considered a ?women only? type of service. We have seen a huge increase in male clients once they realized the benefits and convenience of laser hair removal.? Mike notes that men opt to have laser hair removal treatments on their chest and back. LaserTouch Aesthetics also services clientele who suffer from chronic and often painful ingrown facial hair.

Lastly, for completely bald or balding men who are tired of the daily maintenance a shaved head demands, Mike says permanent laser hair removal of bald spots or complete removal of hair on the head has increased in popularity. ?We have many clients who complain of their ?five o?clock shadow? showing up on their shaved head,? says Mike, ?guys who are bald want to reduce the amount of time they spend maintaining their look, and this is a perfect solution for them.?

Laser Hair Removal for Women

LaserTouch offers a wide range of treatments for women looking to permanently remove unwanted hair. Aside from common areas such as the bikini line, under arms and legs, LaserTouch is also skilled in facial hair removal, including the hairline and upper lip. LaserTouch carries a wide variety of laser devices which allows them to specialize in all skin types, including dark and tan complexions (which can be scarred through improper laser usage). Mike notes, ?women of all ages not only find laser hair removal convenient, it also creates a great feeling of confidence.?

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a relatively painless process during which hair that is in its active growing phase is targeted and permanently removed. In most cases, hair is reduced by 85-90% after six treatments. LaserTouch?s laser equipment is top-of-the-line and FDA approved, making them extremely safe and effective. LaserTouch?s sophisticated lasers target the root of the hair to eliminate everything from dark, coarse hair to fine, light hair.

During treatment, the laser targets the darkness of the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. Hair follicles that are targeted will die and fall out in two to ten days following treatment. Most treatments are scheduled four to eight weeks apart, allowing for the hair growth cycle to begin again, allowing LaserTouch to target remaining hair follicles in the treated area. Most clients are recommended four to six treatments to achieve maximum results.

What is the Procedure Like?

The actual laser hair removal process is very simple: a hand-held applicator is placed on the area to be treated and a flash of light is emitted from the applicator every one-two seconds. The operator then continues to move the applicator over the entire area to be treated, flashing a new area every few seconds. The treatment session can take from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated. The degree of discomfort experienced varies with each person, depending on your sensitivity. The sensation may be anything from painless to a tolerable sting.

Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics Launches Xeomin, the Latest Botox Wrinkle Alternative

Prescott, Arizona (PRWEB) December 06, 2011

When Botox hit the market over a decade ago, it was the only product with FDA approval to treat the frown lines between the brows. Although Botox usage has expanded to treat other areas such as the smoker?s lines around the upper lip, ?crow?s feet?, and even underarm sweating, it remained the only FDA approved neurotoxin available. With the introduction of Dysport over a year ago, another form of botulinum toxin, the consumer was then presented with a choice. Yet with both products containing an accessory protein to carry the botulinum toxin (egg or lactose), the body has the ability to build up antibodies over time, causing the results to diminish after continuous usage.

Enter Xeomin, the newest FDA approved neurotoxin. Xeomin, contains no accessory protein, making it a ?pure? version of botulinum toxin and reducing the risk of allergic reaction or natural resistance. It is also the most similar to Botox in unit to unit comparison, unlike Dysport which requires more units. ?We are so excited to be the first in the Prescott, Anthem, Sedona, and Flagstaff areas with this product. It won?t be released generally, until April 2012,? commented Jan Gillum, office manager for Body Oasis Laser Medispa. Merz Aesthetics, the company that is introducing Xeomin, has offered a sneak preview for a few select dermatologists to present this new neurotoxin to their patients. ?This product is an exciting addition to our practice,? said Dr. Fleck. ?Although we don?t think one is superior to the other, we now have options for all our patients with different needs. For instance Botox and Xeomin have an onset of 5-7 days after injection, whereas Dysport starts to work in 2-3 days, making it ideal for last minute wrinkle treatments.?

This month, Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics hosted a ?Day of Beauty? to showcase Xeomin, along with their other popular cosmetic procedures like laser hair removal and spider vein treatments. Xeomin was offered at a special introductory price of $ 8 per unit compared to the Botox price of $ 11 per unit. ?We want people to try this, because once they do they won?t want anything else,? noted Maureen Brogan, spa coordinator and licensed laser technician for Body Oasis Laser Center. ?These cosmetic treatments are becoming more affordable for everyone due to healthy market competition. When combined with other treatments, like dermal fillers and laser treatments, we can see truly amazing results without cosmetic surgery.?

Not only are there more choices, but more ways to use these products as well. While neurotoxins are still only FDA approved for the treatment of the frown lines, other areas where neurotoxins are being used effectively are multiplying. Body Oasis is offering patients their signature ?liquid facelift?, lateral brow lift, and the ?Nerfertiti lift?. The ?liquid facelift? offers a non surgical alternative to a facelift and can be completed during your lunch hour with no downtime, at a fraction of the cost. Using neurotoxin and cosmetic fillers, like Restylane or Radiesse, which are also offered at the practice, a patient can see dramatic results instantly.

The ?Nefertiti lift? is a neurotoxin treatment that causes the platysma muscles in the neck to relax, resulting in reduced sagging from the collar bone to the jowl area. ?In the forty to fifty age group, the skin in the neck loses elasticity, and is a tell tale sign of a person?s age,? says Dr. Fleck. ?By treating the muscles in the neck, it allows that area to relax, resulting in fewer vertical and horizontal lines, a smooth jaw line, and more tone in the lower part of the face.?

?We can take ten years off your appearance,? notes Lisa Ramirez, licensed laser technician for Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics. ?By combining our ActiveFX laser treatment with Radiesse or Xeomin, our patients can forgo cosmetic surgery. There is a definite degree of artistry involved with these procedures and Dr. Fleck is an expert injector with over ten years of experience.? The ActiveFX CO2 fractional resurfacing laser, is a treatment which diminishes wrinkles and scars, and helps to build the collagen and skin elasticity that is lost with aging and sun damage. As well as greatly improving the skin?s appearance, it provides a lift for the eyelids and neck that rivals the effects of more invasive cosmetic surgery, like the face lift.

Neurotoxins can also be used for the treatment of TMJ, a disorder caused by teeth clenching which can produce a number of ailments such as migraines, jaw pain, and dental problems. ?We are continually seeking out new applications for neurotoxins so that we can offer our patients relief without surgery,? notes Maureen Brogan. ?With the efficacy and safety of neurotoxins, Dr. Fleck treats a wide range of patients with different concerns.?
