What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are skin treatments used to correct a variety of imperfections like scars, wrinkles, and discoloration. They are most often done on the face. The aesthetician will apply a chemical solution to the clients skin and leave it for a specific time. The solution will remove at least one layer of the skin and any associated blemishes. Chemical peels can be superficial, medium or deep, depending on the solution used and how deeply it penetrates.
What Does Laser Hair Removal Involve?
In laser hair removal, the aesthetician will use a broadband light that will heat the treatment area evenly and thus reduce the chance of missing spots. The light will emit short and rapid pulses that will cause the hair follicle to stop working without hurting nearby tissues. The laser contains a cooling mechanism that will help keep the patient comfortable.
After applying a cool gel to the treatment area, the aesthetician will use the laser. Most patients will need three to five treatments, and they should undergo a treatment once every four to six weeks.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring describes a large group of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and thus give the client a slimmer and more toned look.
The medspa uses Tripollar Radiofrequency (RF) technology in body contouring. RF energy both melts fat and stimulates collagen production, so Tripollar can also make the skin firmer, tighter, and less wrinkled. It even feels good; some patients have described it as feeling like a hot stone massage.
