Laser Hair Removal
Anagen Anagen Phase - Anagen is the active phase of hair growth and generally lasts for several months. At any given time, most of our body hair is in this part of the hair growth cycle.
Catagen Catagen Phase - During this brief phase, the hair bulb regresses and begins to shrink
Telogen Telogen Phase - At the end of this resting phase, which typically lasts a few months, hair is released from the shrivelled follicles and the anagen phase begins again.

 

Laser Acne Treatment
  • Collagen - a protein in the skin's connective tissue that helps give the skin its texture.
  • Sebum - oily substance produced by sebaceous glands in the skin.
  • Vitiligo - is a skin pigmentation disease characterised by white patches or spots.
  • Open Comedones - medical term for Blackheads. It is a yellowish or blackish bump or plug on the skin. A blackhead is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens (resembling dirt) as it oxidizes.

Juvederm
  • Hyaluronic Acid - a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps to add volume and hydration.
  • Nasolabial Folds - the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth
