MICRODERMABRASION
A Non-Surgical Solution For Younger, Smoother Looking Skin
We were all born with smooth, baby soft skin. As we go through
life our skin becomes a road map showing the effects of where
we have been and what we have done. Exposure to the sun, use of
alcohol, smoking and nutrition all accelerate the signs of
aging.
Microdermabrasion is a revolutionary new skin restoration process,
commonly referred to as "the lunch time facial" because the
procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can
return to work immediately. Used at exclusive European spas for
over five years, this unique skin rejuvenation technique is
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United
States.
The Microdermabrasion procedure uses a highly controlled spray
of microscopic crystals over the surface of the skin. This action
causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer
layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of
several weeks or months, the younger, softer skin moves to the
surface, revealing more radiant, younger and tighter skin
underneath.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Introducing the Most Advanced Technology for the Treatment of
Unwanted Hair
What are the benefits of laser hair removal compared to alternative
treatments?
The primary benefits of laser hair removal include:
- Larger areas may be treated with less discomfort using the Apex
800 laser than with electrolysis, waxing or tweezing.
- The Apex 800 combines both speed and long lasting results.
- The Apex 800 works on almost any area of the body where a
hair-free appearance is desired.
Who is a candidate for laser hair removal?
The unique design of the laser allows treatment of a wide range
of skin types and hair colors. Your physician will evaluate
your skin type and hair color to determine if you are a
candidate for treatment.
What areas of the body can be treated?
In women, the most common areas for treatment are upper lip,
chin, bikini line, legs and underarms. In men, the most common
areas for treatment are shoulders and backs.
How many treatments are required?
The number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits
depends on the area of treatment, the hair density and the hair
growth cycle. Age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication
and metabolism all play a part om hair's location, thickness and
resilience. Your physician will create a custom treatment plan
for you.
How does the Apex 800 laser work?
The laser generates a beam of intense, concentrated light, which
is directed through a small handpiece to the treatment site.
The laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair causing
selective damage to the follicle. Because the laser treats more
than one hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such
as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face, and sensitive areas
such as the nipples, upper lip and bikini line can be treated
easily and with minimal discomfort. Apex 800 laser treatment is
a safe, fast, gentle and effective method for hair removal.
Is the laser treatment painful?
While some areas of the body are more sensitive than others,
most patients report little or no discomfort. For more sensitive
patients, anesthetic creams can be applied prior to treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Short-tem side effects may include a slight reddening of the
skin or local swelling which typically lasts less than an hour,
although it may infrequently last a few days. In rare instances,
some blistering may occur. Laser hair removal does not make
hair grow back thicker, darker or quicker. In fact, the
opposite is often the case. Hair growth will frequently be
delayed after treatment. When hair does grow back, it may be
lighter, thinner and less dense.
