We will help you pick services that will ease your tension as they rejuvenate your body. Making sure time is on your side. Trying to cram a personal beauty regimen into a few days or a week has about as much chance of success as using a fad diet to suddenly drop twenty pounds. Get a head start and relax into a routine of luxury and pampering. You will nd a simple grooming plan will make staying on track easy. Avoid last minute panics over blotchy complexions, unmanageable hair or nails that are brittle or ungroomed. You will look radiant and feel stress free. We suggest starting eight months prior to your wedding. Why so long? Even the healthiest hair, skin and nails are subjected to an everyday onslaught by wind, weather, sun and heat. Starting early gives damaged or tired hair, skin and nails time to heal and helps normal hair and skin stave o the damaging eects of the elements. It also gives you time to learn what services and products work best for you. Countdown to perfect hair. Don’t wait until the week prior to your wedding to try out your desired hair style or you may get more than you bargained for. How many weddings have you attended where the bride looked like a stranger in an uncustomary bouant or sudden change to blonde? What might they not give to go back and re-shoot that treasured wedding album? Start trying hairstyles as soon as you start trying on gowns. First, make sure your hair is and stays in optimum condition. A series of regular conditioning treatments will get weather or styling damaged hair prepped for optimum performance. ey will help dehumidity your hair and create protection against other weathering factors. Get cuts regularly to keep ends in shape. Whether you are going for a new hair style or an updo, try adding a touch of color for superior shine and to give depth and interest to your style. Remember, it’s the details that bring the picture to life. Allow yourself time to live with your new look. Several salon visits will help you get a sense of how your hair will look on your wedding day. Give yourself and your stylist time to perfect it. It’s also benecial to give your hair designer time to work with your hairstyle and your desired look prior to your wedding, especially if the style or stylist is new to you. You want time for your stylist to see how your hair responds in dierent weather conditions, how well it holds curl and how well it lays. Starting early may also surprise you. You may nd that the swept back ringlets that looked so chic in the magazine really doesn’t suit you. Hair and Makeup by Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa & Day Salon Mitchell’s by and Makeup Hair Recommendations Recap Hair Hair needs to be in top condition for ultimate shine and manageability. Regular conditioning and deep conditioning treatments keep hair healthy and free of split ends; especially important in humid conditions or if exposed to excessive temperatures. Regular cuts keep ends in shape and styles laying properly. Regular cuts also give you and your stylist time to make any style adjustments. Color services add richness, shine and depth to all hair, even your own color. Color foils create dimension to your style for added interest. An early start allows time for any color adjustments you may want to make. Skin Facials are one of skins most important advocates. Not only do they help heal awed or damaged skin, they keep pores clean and unclogged. Young, radiant skin is not an overnight achievement. at is why we strongly urge clients to give ample time to skin care. Facials work wonders for your back too; especially for any strapless or backless gowns. Paran treatments keep skin smooth and supple on both hands and feet. e better you maintain your skin, the better the results. Waxing ensures immaculate and easy grooming for both wedding and honeymoon. Start early to control regrowth.

Especially for the bride with the backless gown, the sensuously bare-shouldered dress or for the oh-so-minimal honeymoon bikini. Schedule monthly facials for a more rened, even complexion. If you think beauty is skin deep, guess again. A beautiful complexion starts deep below the skin’s surface at the cellular level. Our facials use methods and products that penetrate below the surface to stimulate proper cell renewal, improve circulation and help restore the skin’s natural moisture. Skin needs time to thoroughly heal and develop a beautiful, even tone. Waxing beauty. On this most special of days you don’t want to be caught with razor stubble, or unkempt brows.

WHAT TO EXPECT ♦ BBL/Laser-treated hairs will still be visible / present after your treatment.

GOLD2 Not 1Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Nanjing 210042, China, and 2Gold Skin Care Center, Nashville, TN 37215, USA (Do Abstract Background: Unwanted hair is a widespread cosmetic problem. Several lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) have been utilized for this purpose. A new IPL device (Lumenis OneTM) with OPT is one of the newer modalities to be studied in Chinese patients. Objective: This study evaluates the short-term effi cacy and side effects of the new IPL device for epilation in Chinese patients. Methods: Eighteen Chinese women with Fitzpatrick skin types III–V and black hair, were treated four times at 4 to 6-week intervals using IPL (Lumenis OneTM) on the axillae (n 13) and the upper lip (n 5). The energy density for treatment ranged from 14 to 22 J/cm2. Parameters utilized were 695-/755-nm fi lters, triple pulse for patients on the axillae, and 640-/695-nm fi lters, double pulse for patients on the upper lip (3.5- to 7-ms pulse, 30- to 90-ms pulse delay, 15 35 mm spot size). Hair reduction was assessed at baseline, immediately before each treatmentCopyright session, and at 4 weeks after the fourth treat- ment. Patient’s satisfaction on a 5-point scale was also evaluated. Results: The average hair reduction for all sites was 49.9% after one session, 58.6% after two sessions, 79.3% after three sessions, and 83.8% after four sessions (p 0.001).

  • Experts Warn Against Using Depilatories Like Veet, Nair
    Experts warn against using depilatories like Veet, Nair Nydailynews.com ANDREW H. WALKER/GETTY IMAGES FOR MERCEDES-BENZ F Depilatories like Veet melt proteins in the hair and skin. Want to ruin your summer? It only takes three minutes. That’s what dermotologists were saying Tuesday, one day after a Manhattan woman sued the makers of Veet hair-removal cream claiming she got third-degree burns when she hit the beach after using the product. "Even without sun exposure I've seen people who have been burned or irritated from the product just because it is fairly caustic to the skin," said Dendy Engelman, a dermatologic surgeon in Manhattan. "A three-minute treatment that turns into months of displeasure from being disfigured could ruin your whole summer.” Lauren Waterman, director of the Chloe boutique in SoHo, says in her suit, filed Monday, that that’s what happened to her, though she acknowledged the product's warning label explained that side effects could include allergic reactions, discomfort, and irritation. Depilatories work by dissolving hair with chemicals such as calcium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide — but those same toxins can also irritate skin, sometimes for months. “It’s my least favorite of all the (hair-removal) options,” added Dr. Rebecca Baxt, another dermotologist who prefers shaving, waxing, laser hair removal and electrolysis. Brands like Veet and Nair are FDA-approved, but come with warnings because the chemicals in them are so strong.

  • Depilation Services
    4 Depilation Services We have already studied about hair discolouration technique, such as ‘bleaching’. In this Unit, we will study about two techniques of removing unwanted hair. The two techniques that are commonly used to remove unwanted hair are waxing and threading. TYPES OF HAIR A Beauty Therapist, providing treatment such as ‘waxing’ and ‘threading’, must understand the basic anatomy and physiology of hair. The different types of hair are as follows: • Scalp hair • Eyelashes • Body hair • Underarm and pubic hair Scalp hair: It acts as heat insulator and protects the head. Eyelashes: This is the hair present on the eyelashes. It prevents dust particles from entering the eye. Body hair: Present all over the body, it acts as heat insulator. Underarm and pubic hair: It provides cushion against friction caused by movement. HAIR GROWTH CYCLE On an average, hair grows 1.25 cm (½ inch) per month. It is estimated that we lose 80–100 hair per day on an average. A single strand of hair does not grow continuously throughout life. The stages of the life cycle of hair are as follows: • Anagen • Catagen • Telogen • Exogen Hair to fall out Dermal papilla New hair Anagen Catagen Telogen Return to anagen Early anagen Fig. 4.1: Hair growth cycle Anagen During this stage, the bulb regenerates, and then, produces a hair strand. This is the stage during which the hair follicle is active and the hair grows continuously. The stage lasts for 2–7 years. New hair in the early anagen stage grows faster than the old hair. The average growth being 1.25 cm per month.
