Laser Hair Removal Treatment During Summer

Without a doubt, summer is the season where we expose more skin than usual. Shorts, skirts and t-shirts make up the most prevalent fashion pieces every summer.

One of the problems, we ladies face is our unwanted hair. Since most of our bodies are exposed during the summer, our hair is let out in the open for people to see. Oftentimes this can be pretty embarrassing, especially for those of us (like me) who have more body hair than others.

There are so many hair removal methods like laser hair removal, waxing, shaving and using the good old fashioned tweezers. These methods are all fine all year round, but some should be used with caution during the summer months.

Laser treatments make hair removal easy, painless and long lasting, unlike other hair removal methods that are quite the opposite. And that is why I am an advocate of laser hair removal treatments but I believe they should not be in done on body parts that would be exposed in the summer months. Here are the reasons why.

It makes your skin very sensitive

Laser Hair Removal Treatment makes use of lasers to remove hair from your body. The heat from the laser will go deep into your skin and target the hair follicle. The power of the laser will destroy the hair follicle and your hair is removed. The effect of the laser can make your skin extremely sensitive. If you don’t protect your skin after laser hair removal, your skin could be faced with more irritation if exposed to sun.

 

You run the risk of your skin getting burned

The sun can be extremely harsh. If you thought getting sensitive skin was bad enough then you should note this. When you combine sensitivity of your skin with the results from the laser treatment, the effect of sun’s rays could be heavier than normal after a laser hair removal treatment.

Your run the risk of skin discolouration

When exposed to the sun, your skin tends to experience pigmentation problems. The rays of the sun can be rather harsh at times. Although laser hair removal favours fair skin, it is not friendly for dark-skined ladies. It could make your skin look darker due to melanin production. This is not good for your skin as you may end up with dark patches on the laser hair removal treatment area.

 

You won’t be able to have a tan

Summer is the time when people go under the sun to get that coveted tan. Tans are seen to be attractive. When you get a laser hair removal treatment, you will not be able to give yourself a tan. The direct effect of the sun’s rays will make your skin more sensitive. Your skin will start to feel raw and that could even damage your skin. That’s why dermatologists advice that you should stay away from tanning for about 6 weeks after the laser hair removal treatment.

 

I think the best time to have the laser hair treatment done is in the cooler months.

Have you had the laser hair removal treatment? What are your thoughts?

Yes or No to Cosmetic Surgery

Have you ever considered having cosmetic surgery done or have you had any work done already? I have not had any work done but I have considered having some work done at various points in my life.

At one point in my life, I considered having some wobbly bits done up, but I keep changing my mind. I am not sure if I would ever gone ahead with cosmetic surgery, but it is something that crosses my mind quite regularly, so it may happen some day.

Some people think, anyone who has cosmetic surgery done has insecurity issues, but I disagree. I believe majority of us, especially women, have a thing or 2 they we are insecure about, but I don’t think that necessarily would drive us to have cosmetic surgery done, if we do not want it done for other reasons.

As for me, I am very happy and comfortable in my skin. I have fallen completely in love with myself but there are still some parts of me,of my body, I would love to enhance if possible. I have had some other beauty enhancement treatments done, like my teeth whitened and laser hair removal treatment on my chin. And I can see myself having top-ups of those treatments and some more later in life. I found these treatments easy to do, and I didn’t have to recover from them, I could carry on as normal, and that is very important when I have 2 very active toddlers to deal with. I can’t afford to have a procedure that would leave me off work or on bed rest. It just can’t happen for now.

Cosmetic surgery can be done on various parts of our body, with the breasts, nose, buttocks, and lips and face being the most popular features for treatment. The ears are also becoming a very popular part to have some cosmetic surgery done thanks to the innovative Earfold treatment also known as Ear Pinning, which is simply an innovative alternative treatment for those with prominent ears.

Most of us know all about cosmetic surgery, the various types, and the pros and cons of having cosmetic surgery done. I know a few people in real life that have had their breasts and lips done, and they look great. Like I said in my previous post, I think the decision to have cosmetic surgery done is a personal choice, and as long as it is an enhancement and it makes you feel better about yourself, then it is definitely worth doing, if you can afford it. Just own it!

I think people, especially women who have had some work done, are judged too harshly by the general public. There are many reasons why someone would love to have a form of surgery done, and they may not always be for the vain reasons we tend to think.

What I would say is that you need to do your research, and read up the facts about the cosmetic surgery treatment before undergoing it.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Will you ever consider having cosmetic surgery done? Have you had any work done?

Top Beauty School in London

You all know how crazy I am about the beauty and the laser hair removal technology right? Well if you didn’t know, you know now! I have written extensively about my laser hair removal experience (I had my last session in July) and how amazing my life is now without me worrying or thinking of when next I would need to go for another round of painful threading.

For those who do not know, I recently completed 6 sessions of laser hair removal on my chin. The treatment went on for about 7 months, and it completed changed my life for the better. I am a bit hairy which can be a pain when the hair starts to grow on and around places I don’t want it growing. So having my laser hair removal treatment was a blessing.

I am a bit obsessed with the laser industry, and that is why I keep updating you guys and myself on what is going on in the industry. I like to know what else is new. Like what else the laser machines can do, and what new technology or treatment method has been discovered. During one of my many researches, I came across Ray Cochrane Beauty School. This Beauty School was founded in 1954 by Late Mrs Ray Cochrane, and It is one of the top beauty schools where the professionals that perform this laser treatment and other beauty treatments go to study. The beauty school offers Beauty Therapy Courses, Level 4 Aesthetic Laser/IPL Training Course and Nail Technician Courses in a fantastic real life learning environment.

The laser industry is currently booming, and many are people are getting into it. There are many beauty schools available in the City of London. Too many that it can be quite hard to find the right beauty school. But among the many beauty schools in the city, Ray Cochrane Beauty School stands out for all the right reasons. Here are some of the reasons why this beauty school stands out from the rest –

 

Well-Established

Ray Cochrane is the longest established CIDESCO (the world’s major international beauty therapy association) beauty school in the UK – and possibly internationally. So it was well-known in the industry, and great to have on your CV, because employers would be certain you would have the right skills needed to perform your duties brilliantly.

Great Tutors and Facilities

This beauty school is one of the few centres in the UK equipped with both Laser and IPL machines (most centres have just IPL machines), which is great for the students, because they will be practising with the equipments they will be working with.The tutors are also supportive, informed and have many years of experience.

 

These are some of the reasons why Ray Cochrane Beauty School is a top beauty school in London. Have you ever thought of taking a beauty course? Have you heard of Ray Cochrane Beauty School?
