PRE - LASER INSTRUCTIONS 1. Shave the site/s to be treated the evening before each treatment session. (Avoid waxing for 2 weeks before and throughout treatment course – as waxing diminishes laser target.) 2. Also, minimize sun exposure, as best as possible, for at least 1 month before and after treatment. Wear protective clothing (hat, etc.) and a high SPF (at least SPF 30) sunblock to protect the treated area/s from direct sun exposure. 3. Also, do not use aspirin, aspirin containing medications or alcohol for at least 1 week before and for the first 2 days after treatment. Take Tylenol or another pain reliever which contains no aspirin or ibuprofen, if needed. 4. Apply EMLA / ELA-Max / Topicaine (or other topical anesthetic) at least 1 hour before treatment under saran wrap, if needed. WHAT TO EXPECT ♦ BBL/Laser-treated hairs will still be visible / present after your treatment. However, they are now injured or destroyed at the level of the hair follicle (“root”) and will soon fall out (usually, within the next 2-5 days up to 2 weeks). ♦ The treated area may redden and/or swell somewhat. A mild sunburn sensation may be noticed for up to several hours after treatment. This is caused by the BBL/laser energy, and represents inflammation, and not infection. It is normal and expected part of healing process.

  • Hair Is Made of Strong Elastic Strands of Protein Called Keratin. the Sources of Hair Are Very Small Tiny Pockets in Our Skin and Scalp Known As Follicles
    Hair Hair is made of strong elastic strands of protein called keratin. The sources of hair are very small tiny pockets in our skin and scalp known as follicles. These follicles are found together in groups of two to five each. Every follicle follows a life cycle of its own producing about six inches of hair a year for as long as four years before it falls out and then starts all over again after a short period. The basal tip of the hair in the scalp is known as papilla which is a small out-growth of the skin shaped like a doorknob and lying at the tip of the follicle. The papilla contains the blood vessels to supply nourishment to the hair. During the active period the new cell growth pushes the older part of the hair away from the papilla until the hair falls out. It is the pattern of cell growth at the papilla which determines whether hair grow straight, wavy or curly. The growth pattern usually becomes uneven during the adolescence when the hair growth is at its peak. It declines as we grow older. Though hair strands look as singular fibres, each hair is constructed in three different layers: the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. Cuticle The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair which provides protection to the inner cortex layer. It is made up of flattened, hard, horny cells. Cortex The cortex is the second layer of hair. The qualitative properties of strength, elasticity, pliability, direction and growth pattern, width and the texture of hair depend on the composition of the cortex.

  • Shaving Mug and Brush Set NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
    WTD 24 pgs 8-13 alt to 5:WTD 04 pgs 08-12 9/29/09 9:57 AM Page 8 Shaving Mug and Brush Set NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN by D.E. McIvor In Sharp Practice, author Anders Larsen reports that 90% of men shave at least once a day. That works out to about 20,000 shaves in an average lifetime or five months in front of the mirror. You could choose to sport a beard and find something else to do with those five months, or you could hit the workshop and come out with a project that makes shaving enjoyable. And don’t think this project is only for half the world’s population—women can covet the sensuous suds this set and a good bar of soap will produce. The shaving brush and mug set offers three of the four basic challenges in woodturning. The mug is face-turned, the brush handle is spindle-turned, and a good project will require careful design. A successful design is critical to small-scale turning, particularly when you hope to end up with a piece that is functional and comfortable to use—something that may actually make you want to hit the sink for that 17,574th shave! Because wood and water don’t mix, keep in mind when choosing raw material that you’re creating a piece that will spend its life in one of the harshest environments for wood. The mug, in particular, will get a lot of exposure to moisture with little opportunity to dry between uses. Although these pieces are small, you also want them to have some density.
