Facial and Body Hair Removal in Jacksonville – these are your options

Last updated 12 hours ago

Most people do not like hairy body parts that do not look attractive, which is one of the reasons why they start looking for body hair removal treatments in Jacksonville. Some men with facial hair are gorgeous and attractive and sexy, but a woman’s face that is hairy is not only unattractive, but can cause undue stress and damage a person’s self-image. Fortunately there are options available to remove unwanted hair. Let’s explore what the choices are:

Shaving. This is the oldest, least expensive and easiest to do at home. Sadly, it only lasts about 24 hours before the hair is visible once again. Most clean shaven men adhere to this daily ritual automatically.
Tweezing. This used to be the only method for women to shape and thin out unruly eyebrows or other facial hair. They would stand before a mirror and pluck out the offending hairs one by one. Tweezing is good for a very small area and you can expect results to last only a week or so.
Depilatories or hair removal creams. Easily purchased in a drug store and easily applied. You smooth on and wash off. Still not a very permanent process, may not work very well and probably will last about two weeks.
Waxing. This has become the standard now for women and men’s eyebrows, women’s chin hairs and bikini areas. A hot wax is applied, allowed to set and then ripped off quickly with all the hairs and roots adhering to it. This body hair removal treatment can last up to six weeks depending on your individual hair growth, but comes with one negative: It hurts!
Laser removal. Finally, a lasting method, that can be done in a spa like setting by trained electrolysis professionals. The experience can be soothing, with dim lighting and soft music and very painless. Any part of the body can be treated by lasers and the hair follicle is actually destroyed by heat. Recommended six to ten treatments are required for a thorough removal, with 21 to 35 days in between treatments. Once accomplished, you will only need maintenance of a couple treatments a year.

Botox Injections in Ponte Vedra – where and how?

Last updated 7 days ago

Botox injections in Ponte Vedra have become increasingly popular over the years. As a person ages, the skin gets lax and loses firmness, causing wrinkles. Because the personality of the person with wrinkles on the outside, feels very young and vibrant on the inside; it is distressing to them. Good wrinkle creams moisturizers and facial serums help and should be used for suppleness, but they are limited as to complete removal.

Now, there is a way to eliminate wrinkles for periods of three to six months at a time; Botox injections are offered at reputable med spas like Reviva Med Spa, in Jacksonville, FL. Treatments are given under the direct guidance of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, and qualified technicians. Botox, which is a type of toxin that acts like a muscle relaxant, is injected in tiny doses into muscles.

The relaxant causes a restriction of movement in the area of wrinkling, and within three days after treatments, with a minimum of discomfort, you are rewarded with a smooth appearance where wrinkles once appeared. The wrinkle free appearance can last as long as six months, and can be re-administered when wrinkles start to appear, but actually is safe at two to four months, for those who want to keep the look constant. Botox is also used for problems with excess perspiration, and those treatments last 12 to 18 months.

Rare side effects can cause some bruising, pain and weakness temporarily. Botox treatments should always be administered by professionals and in a safe and pleasant environment like Reviva Med Spa. Medical professionals and physicians do not recommend that you get any kind of treatment at the so-called “Botox parties.” It is not considered a safe environment.

When you have an initial consultation for Botox injections, be sure to find out exactly how much will be used and what you are paying for. Unscrupulous doctors and professionals may dilute the strength more than is needed and results will not be as satisfactory. The amount of Botox should always be referred to as a unit, not a syringe full or by the CCs.

Laser hair removal treatments in Ponte Vedra

Last updated 14 days ago

For people who want to remove unwanted hair or stop excessive hair growth, laser hair removal in Ponte Vedra is one of the few methods that’s quick, easy and without any kind of surgery. Laser hair removal is a relatively new treatment that has been used commercially for the last 20 years. While consumers have only been exposed to this treatment over the past two decades, it has been well-researched by the scientific community long before you could have laser hair removal done at your nearest med spa.

How laser hair removal works

Let’s have a closer look how this works. Laser hair removal uses a low energy laser beam to reduce long term hair growth in a particular part of body. The laser beam is targeted on the hair shaft in such a way that heat from this laser would be absorbed by a hair follicle which is in active growth phase. Please note that not all hair follicle are active simultaneously so laser hair removal requires multiple sessions to effectively stop growth of hair. The heat absorbed by hair follicle disables them which in effect reduce the hair growth.

Low energy lasers are used in this process so that the skin surrounding hair follicle is safe and the treatment does not result in any harm to skin around the hair follicle. Below are some of the benefits of laser hair removal:

Painless: This is a non-invasive procedure which doesn’t cause any discomfort to the patient and it is one of the gentlest methods available for hair removal.
Alternative to waxing, shaving and other methods: After going through this procedure you don’t need to shave, wax or use creams on your skin on a regular basis. It is a permanent solution for hair removal.
Immediate Results: Many consumers can see immediate results after going through this process.
Can be performed on every body part: You can use this method for removing hairs from almost every part of body such as face, legs, breast, chest and arms.
Harmless: This is a totally harmless process as compared to waxing and electrolysis which are known for damaging skin.
