Hair removal with medical-aesthetical laser

Diode Laser hair removal is one of the fastest and most effective aesthetic medicine treatments for the permanent removal of unwanted hair on the body and face.

The laser produces a beam of light with a specific wavelength, which crosses the different tissues until it reaches the hair follicle and destroys it. As each follicle is in a different phase of growth and different location, it will be necessary to repeat the process several times. In each session the elimination of approx. 30% follicles.

At Elle est Belle we work with the Laser Light Sheer, a medical-aesthetic device approved by the FDA (American Health organism) and endorsed by the most prestigious dermatologists in the world and by Harvard University. The device can perform different treatments for all types of skin phototype, thanks to its technology, which combines the appropriate wavelength with the energy level, the pulse duration and an optimal active cooling system.

At the moment, it is the most effective and safest system on the market, always operated by a specialized healthcare professional (D.U.E) to optimize the results.

Indications for diode laser hair removal:

Shaved 24 h. before treatment
In very blond or white hair the treatment is not effective
A lot of hydration the first hours after treatment with an ‘after sun’ or aloe vera
Use anesthetic cream in English and armpits
In the case of male clients, we recommend the use of an anesthetic cream
Do not sunbathe or UVA rays one month before treatment or up to two weeks later. The skin cannot be tanned on the day of the laser session
Do not shave with wax, or tweezers, or ‘silk epil’ one month before treatment
Not having done CO2 laser treatment in the area to be treated for the last 6 months
Between a month and a month and a half there will be no hair in the treated area. After that time the resting hair will come out which will be treated in the next session (at 3 months)
It doesn’t matter if the next session takes more than 3 months, but it can’t take less than 3 months between two sessions
After 7-10 days after the treatment the dead hair appears that will fall alone. It can be checked by pulling it with the nails (it is NOT a live hair). In the case of the legs it can take up to 20 days to fall and gives the feeling that it is live hair because it is very attached to the follicle
In younger patients the treatment is usually a little longer due to the great hormonal activity

Contraindications:

Laser hair removal may have contraindications. Consult with our specialists before treatment.

Carboxy therapy: against flaccidity, cellulite and stretch marks

by Muriel | Feb 1, 2019

Carboxy Therapy

Effective to fight cellulite, localized fat or flaccidity, among other benefits.

Carboxy therapy consists of infiltration of carbon dioxide under the skin. It is effective to fight cellulite, localized fat or flaccidity, among other benefits.

For several decades, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been used for therapeutic purposes to improve vascular problems or blood circulation, especially in those who had arteriopathies, rheumatological and skin problems.

Currently the technique of Carboxytherapy has begun to be used for aesthetic purposes to improve the appearance of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, among other areas.

Carboxytherapy treatments

The application of carbon dioxide can be done through different procedures. In our aesthetic medical center Elle est Belle Playa de Aro (Girona) we use the technique of micro-injections or subcutaneous infiltration.

The treatment is carried out by a team of professionals, specially trained. Depending on the treatment required by each patient, 15 to 20 sessions are necessary to obtain the optimal result.

Aplication & Benefits of Carboxytherapy

The carboxytherapy treatment can be used in different areas of the body (arms, abdomen, legs, buttocks …) and the face. The infiltrations of carbon dioxide minimize stretch marks, improve flaccidity and reduce cellulite. Facial aesthetic treatments help to conceal dark circles, jowls or scars caused by acne, and to stop alopecia, among others.

Carboxytherapy is especially indicated to combat:

Cellulitis
Localized obesity
Stretch marks
Varicose veins
Peripheral circulation
Fibrosis (post-surgical)
Psoriasis
Acne
Skin flaccidity
Muscle contractures
On carbon dioxide (CO2)

The cutaneous and subcutaneous application of carbon dioxide (CO2) during the treatment stimulates the segregation by our organism of catecholamine, serotonin and histamine. These neurotransmitters allow the relaxation of the subcutaneous tissue and vascular dilatation. The result is an increase in the bloodstream and, therefore, a greater oxygenation of the treated area. Improvement in blood circulation and collagen production, which, in turn, stimulate the reduction of accumulated fat (including cellulite), marks of stretch marks and scars and tissues will have a greater firmness and the skin will look younger.

Efectos secundarios

Carboxy therapy may have some side effects (such as mild temporary pain in the treated area) and may be counterindicated for some patients, so it will always be necessary to consult with a specialist at our center before starting treatment.
