Following the festive season in South Africa, everyone is hitting the swimming pool in their favourite bathing suits. For this activity and more you certainly want your skin feeling its best. That is why, Centurion residents, it’s time for you to break up with your razor!
Say goodbye to those last-minute shaving sessions which inevitably end in a painful nick, or that post-wax irritation that leaves you itching and fighting with that stubborn ingrown hair. Enter instead into the hassle-free world of laser hair removal with NuSkinnovation, revolutionising the art of hair removal and advanced skincare treatments while delivering flawlessly on smooth skin and long-lasting results.
How You Know You’re In A Toxic Relationship With Your Razor
When it comes to conventional hair removal methods, grabbing your razor is an easy and time saving solution. It may be an easy habit to fall into but let’s face it, it’s not the healthiest of relationships. Here are some tell-tale signs why you should probably move on:
Skin Irritation and Ingrown Hairs
There is nothing more frustrating than that painful ingrown hair that you just can’t reach, or the skin irritation which results from a post-shaving session that leads to redness, raised bumps and other general discomfort. In turn, waxing may be the slightly better alternative as it offers a longer-term fix, but this too can lead to irritated and inflamed skin. Our laser hair removal Centurion treatment, however, is easily the least obtrusive and ultimately provides a far smoother and irritation-free experience.
The Never-Ending Maintenance
If you are looking for a never-ending chore that has no end in sight, shaving is a sure way to ensure that. You start your day strong with smooth legs and by the evening you are already sitting with irritating stubble. While waxing will leave you smoother for longer, the constant upkeep with diarising appointments and having to wait out regrowth periods is frustrating to say the least. Instead, our laser hair removal Centurion treatment eliminates the need for daily or weekly upkeep and opens your schedule so that you can focus on other priorities.
It Adds Up
While a disposable razor or waxing kit won’t break the bank initially, if one were to add up the cost of the blades, shaving creams, waxing sessions and post-care products over a lifetime, the numbers are quite staggering. Conversely, while our laser hair removal Centurion treatment may be a costlier investment initially, it really is a no brainer in the long run if you consider the precision, quality and longevity of the investment.
The Environmental Impact
This is an odd one that you may not have considered prior – but did you know that disposable razors and other shaving products add considerably to the accumulation of waste? Billions of razors are sent to landfills each year, and because they are made up of mixed materials, they are notoriously hard, if not impossible to recycle.
Further, one carbon calculation and tree planting organisation estimated that the use of one disposable or non-recyclable plastic razor can generate up to 43 grams or 0.095 pounds of CO2 per use. This means that if you use a single plastic razor at least 10 times before discarding it (which is more than the average usage), you will generate at least 1.1kg or 2.5-pounds of carbon annually.
Thus, if you are a climate warrior, perhaps it’s time to lay down the razor and head over to Centurion for an eco-friendly hair removal experience.
Limited Efficacy In Certain Areas
When you are navigating those more hard-to-reach, intimate areas, shaving and waxing can be difficult even for the most experienced person. This is especially true when you are targeting trickier areas like your back or bikini line. Here, our laser hair removal Centurion treatment reduces the awkwardness of this endeavour and delivers flawless precision to ensure that you are targeting the exact area of concern.
In short, there are multiple reasons why you may want to end your relationship with conventional hair removal methods and move to a long-term solution. Not only will this save you the discomfort of constant skin irritation caused by shaving and waxing, but it is also kinder to your wallet and the environment.
NuSkinnovation: Our Laser Hair Removal Centurion Services
Now that you are aware of a few of the perks when you throw away your razor and choose to make the switch to laser hair removal Centurion, let’s explore some of the services which NuSkinnovation offers.
At our laser hair removal Centurion branch, you can be assured that you will receive professional expertise by our skilfully trained laser therapists, specialists and somatologists. Having undergone rigorous training, their expertise ensures safe, effective and professional care. Additionally, our staff understand the intricate science involved in laser treatments and will customise your session to best meet your specific needs.
Another factor which ensures efficiency and comfort for clients undergoing treatment in Centurion is the state-of-the-art technology which targets the hair follicles with accuracy ensuring that discomfort is minimised, and results maximised. By utilising this technology, no matter the nature of your skin, we are confident that even the most sensitive skin will be treated safely.
At NuSkinnovation we understand that everyone’s skin is unique and requires a specific and tailored approach. This is why in your first consultation with our specialists we will assess your skin type, hair colour and overall skin treatment desires to personalise a treatment plan that works for you.
Laser Hair Removal Centurion: How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal is a technology which targets the pigment in the hair follicle with a concentrated beam of light. In turn, the light is absorbed by the skin’s melanin and produces heat, which disables the follicles’ ability to generate new hair. After undergoing multiple sessions, you will experience a significant reduction in new hair growth, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free.
It is important to note, however, that the art of laser hair removal is far from a one-size-fits-all solution and requires quite an intricate scientific process unique to every individual. Therefore, let’s look at this process a little closer to best understand where in the hair growth process laser treatment is at its most effective.
Hair growth occurs in three distinct phases, the first is the active growth phase otherwise known as the “anagen”, the second is the transitionary phase known as “catagen” and the final phase is the resting or “telogen” phase. It is useful to note that laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase as the hair is still actively growing at this point and is still attached to the follicle. Hair seldom will grow at the same phase simultaneously and, as a result, multiple sessions are required to ensure the best results.
So, what can you expect from a laser removal session? A specialist will apply light energy via a laser device to the area of concern. Our clients have often described this sensation as being a mild “snapping” or “tingling” sensation. After the treatment you may have slightly reddened skin and it can be a bit sensitive to the touch, but don’t worry, this typically will subside within a day of treatment. The results you can expect over time do vary considerably between clients, but our customers generally notice a significant reduction in hair growth in as little as 6-8 sessions.
Depending on your hair type, you may require a different approach to your laser treatment plan as typically, dark hair responds the quickest to laser treatment. In contrast, blonde, red and grey hair can require alternative treatment plans because there is less melanin in the hair and skin.
Busting Myths About Laser Hair Removal
The first and biggest myth about laser hair removal is that it is painful. As we outlined above, thanks to the modern technology which we utilise at NuSkinnovation, hair removal is less painful than ever. Further, our advanced equipment guarantees minimal discomfort, and our specialists will always do their best to maximise your overall comfort.
The second misconception about hair laser removal is that it is only suitable for women. This is false as laser treatment increasingly gains more popularity amongst men. It is particularly effective for reducing facial hair or targeting hard-to-reach areas like the back and upper arms. At NuSkinnovation, all genders are catered for and treated with the same level of professionalism and expertise.
The third myth to address is that laser hair removal is a once-off sure way to rid yourself of unwanted hair. This however is false as this is a process that requires a measure of patience. This is because each session targets a different percentage of hair follicles timed during their active growth phase thus, achieving the desired result can require multiple treatments.
Why Laser Hair Removal Centurion Is Your Healthy Relationship Choice
If maximising quality and expertise for your laser hair removal and skincare needs is important to you, then NuSkinnovation is your one-stop destination for all of this and more. Here are a few of the services that you can utilise at our laser hair removal Centurion branch:
- First and foremost, and at the heart of what NuSkinnovation does, is the laser hair removal service. This promises a significant reduction in hair growth within as little as 6-8 weeks.
- Second is the Fotona 4D treatment. This is a non-invasive approach which works by combining two kinds of laser wavelengths which target the surface and deep skin layers. This is effective in treating wrinkles, sagging and uneven textured skin.
- Third is the reduction of acne and scarring using laser technology. From this you can expect smoother and more even-toned skin.
- Fourth is skin tightening and rejuvenation: This is another non-invasive treatment which enhances overall skin elasticity and stimulates the production of collagen in the skin for a firmer appearance.
- Next is pigmentation correction and stretch mark reduction. If you are looking to even out your complexion and reduce dark marks and hyperpigmentation from acne, scarring or sun damage, this is a great solution. Similarly, by using the same targeted laser therapy you can reduce and minimise the appearance of stretch marks.
- Finally, we offer tattoo removal. Whatever your motivation behind your tattoo removal is, we are here to support you. By using the precision of wavelengths utilised in laser technology, undesired tattoos can be faded out or removed without compromising the integrity of the surrounding skin.
