Q. Can you tell me how your TRIA home laser system compares to laser hair removal treatments in a doctor's office?
A: The TRIA device uses the same technology as the professional hair removal lasers that physicians use, but it has been modified for safety for use at home.
The laser targets the dark pigment in the hair follicle and basically heats the follicle to the point that it disables it, making the hair fall out. That is why darker pigmented skin will not be able to use this device since the laser would not be able to target a follicle and could burn the skin. Likewise, if you have very blonde, gray, red or white hair TRIA will not work for the same reason. In fact, you will not be able to even unlock the device if your skin tone is not the correct color.
Just like professional treatments, TRIA does require several treatments since hair grows in different stages so you will have to go over the same area several times as the hair grows through its stages. Unlike professional treatments, you do have to shave the area before you use the Tria. Also, you can not wax before you use it because there will not be hair in the follicles to target.
As long as you follow the directions correctly and be patient, TRIA can be just as good as getting laser hair removal treatments done in the doctor's office, only much less expensive and much more convenient.

You Asked Our Esthetician
Q: I have wrinkles on my forehead and in between my eyebrows. I have heard that the only way to get rid of them is to do botox. I really hate needles first of all and second I do not like the idea of injecting poison into my muscles. Is there any alternative or am I just stuck with these awful lines?
A: You are in luck! There are actually healthier alternatives to reducing expression lines. One alternative is using micro current. This technology works on the nerves and muscle cells to increase tonicity by speeding up the rate at which the body produces its own muscle protein. It is also known to stimulate collagen and elastin, increase circulation and help products penetrate deeper into the skin. We have an at home micro current device that can be used everyday to help prevent and correct problems that develop as we age. The device is called NuFace and can be purchased in our store for $379.
There is also another safe and affective technology that helps with wrinkles. LED (light Emitting Diode) sends light energy to the skin cells and then your body naturally turns the light energy to cell energy; encouraging the skin to corrects itself. This energy has an effect on the skin that can help with many different types of skin concerns such as: acne, rosacea, enlarged pores, wrinkles, discolorations/age spots, and redness in the skin. LED treatments are cumulative and do require maintenance once skin rejuvenation is complete. We also sell an at home LED that can be used everyday from the convenience of your home and is yours to keep for maintenance treatments. The LED device is called New-U and it sells for $299.
In addition, there are topical products that contain peptides that can help with expression lines. Peptides are chains of amino acids that basically act as messengers to cells. These peptides communicate to the cells the way our bodies own natural peptides would do. As we age and as our bodies become exposed to the environment and stress, our cells do not communicate the way they once did. There are several different types of peptides and each of them sends a different message to different cells. There are products that contain peptides that communicate to the cells to create more collagen in certain areas of the dermis. Some products have more than one peptide and can carry out several different tasks. Line Ease and Smooth Surface Instant Line Filler are two great products for expression lines. Here I have listed three different and safe ways to decrease the look of expression lines. All of them work well alone, however, when all three are combined is when you will see the most dramatic results in less time. Each treatment compliments the others. All of these treatments are totally safe and have more long term affects on the skin than injections. Also, other areas of the face are improved instead of just one specific area like with botox.
