Our Experienced and Skilled Professionals
At Faces Med Spa, you can rest assured that your laser hair removal treatment will be administered by skilled and experienced technicians. Our professionals have undergone rigorous training and possess the knowledge required to customize treatments to suit your skin type, hair color, and specific needs.

Faces Med Spa Provides Customized Treatment Plans
No two individuals are the same, and our team at Faces Med Spa understands this. We create personalized treatment plans for each client, taking into consideration their unique skin and hair characteristics. By tailoring the treatment to your specific needs, you can expect more effective results and a higher level of satisfaction.

Say Goodbye To Ingrown Hairs
One of the worst side effects of shaving or waxing is ingrown hairs. Razor bumps and burns from waxing aren’t fun either. We love that laser hair removal works by selectively targeting the hair follicle with an intense, highly concentrated burst of light. This process ultimately prevents future hair growth, meaning no hairs become ingrown!

Long-Lasting Silky Skin
With laser hair removal, there is no stubble, it leaves your skin silky-smooth following the treatment. With each succeeding treatment, the hair grows back significantly slower, and it is much thinner and sparse. When continuing the laser hair removal process, you will eventually see little to no hair.

You Don’t Need To Grow Your Hair Out
When waxing or shaving, you need to grow your hair out for those removal processes. With laser hair removal you don’t have to! At Faces Med Spa, we recommend shaving in between your laser hair removal appointments to stop your skin’s surface hair from burning.

You’ll Save Time and Money
There is nothing worse than going through the long process of shaving your legs, only to realize that when you got out of the shower, you missed a huge chunk. With laser hair removal, you’ll never have to worry about missing spots ever again. Laser hair removal is great because you can be in and out of Faces Med Spa within an hour!

Chemical peels provide a number of advantages for your skin, but to get the best results, you must carefully care for your skin following your treatment. Aftercare for chemical peels can help your skin repair and regenerate new cells. Below, our professionals at Faces Med Spa discuss how to care for your skin following a Chemical Peel. 

 

How Does A Chemical Peel Work?
A chemical peel improves the look of your skin by using a chemical solution. During a chemical peel, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which allows your skin layers to peel, revealing fresh, younger-looking skin. 

 

Allow Your Skin to Peel
Following a chemical peel treatment, your skin is often sensitive and may be irritated. In order to achieve the best results from your chemical peel, it’s important that you do not pull the peeling skin. This can cause infection, breakouts and worsening irritation. Allow your skin to naturally shed to ensure that the treatment works as intended. 

 

Ease Into Moisturizing
Moisturizer is a key component in the aftercare for a chemical peel, but keep in mind that you do want the skin to peel. Over-moisturizing can prevent your treatment from working correctly. We recommend not using moisturizer the day of your treatment. Two to three days following you may use Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer throughout the day and four to seven days after you can implement your moisturizer back into your daily routine. 

 

Don’t Forget SPF
Your skin will be especially sensitive to UVA and UVB rays following a chemical peel. We recommend Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36, it’s lightweight and all-mineral so this product is perfect for protecting your skin following a chemical peel. In addition to SPF, if you are going to be in direct sunlight often following your treatment, we recommend wearing a hat and sunglasses for optimal protection. 

 

Be Gentle With Your Skincare Routine
You may resume a more regular skincare regimen once the new skin begins to regenerate and the majority of redness and irritation has subsided. Use cold water when cleansing your face, don’t exfoliate and apply small amounts of product. You can wash your face the same day as your chemical peel, but wait six or more hours.

With sunshine and warmer weather on the horizon, you might have body hair removal on your mind. At Faces Med Spa, we think it’s time you ditch the razors, wax and hair removal creams, and kiss ingrown hairs and irritated skin goodbye. With laser hair removal, you can get everlasting, silky smooth skin, pain-free, and by following the tips from our professionals below, you can achieve the best results from your appointment. 

 

Avoid Waxing or Plucking Prior to Treatment 

We know that grown-out hair can become itchy and uncomfortable, but it’s essential that you avoid waxing or plucking the area you will be having treated, as the laser targets the follicle. You also don’t want your hair to be too long, as the laser can cause burns. If your hair is bothering you before your treatment, we recommend shaving, as this will not remove the hair follicle and will keep the hair at a manageable length leading up to treatment.

 

Repeat Treatment to Achieve The Best Results 

The laser only treats the follicle of hairs in the active growth phase, so multiple treatments are recommended to achieve optimal results. Each person’s hair is different and a Faces Med Spa expert will walk you through the process during your consultation to tailor the procedure to your specific needs. Your consultant will give their recommendation on the number of treatments based on your hair type and goals and will help you choose what treatments will be perfect for your skin for each procedure. 

 

Cleanse Your Skin 

It’s important to cleanse your skin of any dirt or impurities, but avoid applying products including serums, moisturizers, deodorants, or perfumes following the cleansing process. Skincare products can often include ingredients that may react poorly with a laser beam, causing discoloration, irritation, and in the worst-case scenario, skin burns. Your skin must be clean and clear to avoid potential adverse reactions to the laser.

 

Post-Treatment Care

Side effects are extremely rare, but they may include mild skin irritation that can last a few days. If this occurs, we suggest using a cold compress and taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (such as Advil or Ibuprofen)as needed to relieve discomfort. Avoid tanning lotions, products with fragrances or perfumes, body scrubs and deodorant in the treatment areas for 24 hours following treatment. These products may cause irritation. Our specialists also  recommend making a follow-up appointment four to six weeks after your first treatment. 

 

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure

While you might be eager to show off your silky smooth skin at the beach or pool, it is imperative that you protect treatment areas immediately following your appointment. Your skin is extremely susceptible to burns directly following laser hair removal, so if you plan to be in the sun, it’s essential that you consistently apply lotion that is at least 30 SPF to protect your skin.
