As the chilly Adelaide Winter sets in, we all tend to cover up and neglect the most important thing in our lives – OURSELVES!
Take action, get yourself ready for Summer and be just 6 months away from looking and feeling better than ever.
Winter is the perfect time to begin Laser Hair /Laser Pigment removal treatments. With less sun exposure during the Winter months, the results achieved will be at their best as the skin is generally lighter. We always recommend minimal sun exposure whilst being treated with our medical grade lasers.
Skin can become dry and dehydrated in the cooler months so keep your glowing summer complexion by treating yourself to a Medical Microhydrabrasion. This treatment works by deeply exfoliating the skin and stimulating blood circulation and cell turnover. Our highly qualified technicians can design a program to suit your needs.
What you decide to do today will make a big difference when the warmer weather comes back to play. Just think of all that extra time you’ll have to spend at the beach next Summer!
Call us on 8362 7686 (Norwood) or 8272 7828 (Hyde Park) to arrange your free consultation.
Essential guide to choosing the right clinic for you:
1. Ask around. If friends or family provide you with positive feedback from a clinic that they have visited then this is a good sign.
2. Ask questions! When you call the clinic to book a consultation, find out if they use an IPL or Medical Grade 4 Laser. Note Medical Grade Lasers directly target the hair follicle which makes it the most effective treatment for permanent hair reduction.
3. At your consultation, make sure that the area you are wanting to treat is properly assesed. Your skin type and hair colour are important factors to determine suitability for laser hair removal. For pigmentation removal, successful treatment will depend upon the type, the age and colour of the affected area.
A test patch should be offered if the technician is concerned the desired results may not be achieved.
4. Ask what the likely outcome is after a course of treatments are completed for your individual situation. Things like hair growth cycle, medications, medical conditions skin and hair type must be considered when a treatment plan is designed for you.
5. Ask for qualifications of the technician. All laser operators should have completed the nationally accredited Laser Safety Course to obtain the knowledge and skill to achieve the best and safest results possible.
6. Look for a clinic that specialises in Laser Hair Removal / Laser Pigment Removal. Be aware of clinics that offer a broad range of treatments as they may not have the same experience or expertise as a clinic that focuses mainly on these procedures.
7. If you are planning to invest a substantial amount of money it is important to feel reassured the clinic will be around to complete your treatments. Ask the clinic if they own or rent their laser. This will help to indicate whether it is an established and successful buisness or not.
8. There is generally a small amount of discomfort when having a permanent hair reduction treatment. If a clinic advertises “pain free” this could be a warning sign that further misleading information will be given
9. Book into the clinic that offers genuine advise and expectant outcomes. It is not possible to achieve a permanent hair REMOVAL but a permanent reduction is achievable.
Summer is here, skin is on show and skin is hair free. Problem? Irritating, unsightly red bumps caused by your last minute shave or wax before you head down to the beach. Chronic ingrown hairs can become quite painful, not to mention nasty on the eye. The lasers at Adelaide’s SILK Laser Clinic help to prevent in-grown hairs by stunting hair growth. They also assist in treating scarred areas from previously infected hairs. This treatment in conjunction with regular exfoliation will keep those nasty red lumps at bay.
Wanting to have Laser Hair Removal, however concerned about the damage it will do to your bank account each month? How much for a leg and bikini wax these days – $60 for both if you are lucky to receive the ‘Weekly Special’ at your local salon. Do the math, that’s $60 a month, $720 year and 4 weeks later you are back where you started with just as much hair. When you calculate all this then compare it with Adelaide’s SILK Laser Clinic prices, you are in for a bargain not to mention a much better result at the end of the day.
