It's daunting to know there are so many LHR clinics available today, so how do you tell the experienced from the inexperienced when it comes to using medical grade equipment?
Many of our clients have shared their good and bad experiences with us over the last 7 years, and we've put together the below areas you therapist should investigate and advise you about, so how many of these did you therapist bring up in your skin consult? Let's have a look ...

#1 - activity after laser hair removal

It is recommended that you avoid doing any activity which will increase body temperature or cause you to perspire for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

#4 - pigmentation from laser hair removal

#5 - troublesome hair removal areas

When surveyed, the majority of women believed they were one of the few with troublesome nipple, facial and snail trail hair growth - when in fact we treat these concerns daily

#6 - hairy stress slows laser hair removal

Relax don't stress…it's your bodies worst enemy
When you stress your body produces more of the hormone androgen, which can cause hirsutism ( hair on a woman that matches a male hair pattern, you know the ones we're talking about those odd ... and annoying chin hairs gggrrrrrr) Androgens also increase oil production which can lead to oily skin, acne and other related skin problems such as worsening of cold sores, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and dehydration. It's also aging's best friend. When you stress you frown which causes frown lines and wrinkles. Chronic stress deprives your skin of the blood and oxygen it needs to be healthy, causing it to lose its elasticity and break more easily and eventually your skin will take on a dull aged appearance.
So stress less
-Take regular deep breaths to expand your diaphragm
-Go for a walk.
-Spend time in nature.
-Call a good friend or family member.
-Sweat out tension with a good workout.
-Write in your journal.
-Take a long bath.
-Light scented candles.
-Savor a warm cup of coffee or tea.
-Play with a pet.
-Work in your garden.
-Get a massage.
-Curl up with a good book.
-Listen to music.
-Watch a comedy.
-Make time for you and the things you enjoy doing…laser hair removal perhaps?
And when you can't help but stress…increase leaves of B vitamins as they keep you healthy during times of stress and anxiety and will help ensure that you do not become more stressed. Get your vitamin B from animal-based meats that are high in vitamin B12 or cereals that have been enriched with B12, or take a supplement to ensure you get enough B12. Also, foods such as broccoli, almonds and milk will provide you with rich sources of B vitamins.
