All About Laser Hair Removal Treatment

By Ishleen

Hair free, now pain free?  Yes, please!

When was the last time you girlies had to endure the distressing pain of waxing and tweezing and plucking? It is DEVASTATING! Okay! Maybe devastating is too harsh a word! But you got my point, right? It is upsetting. Be it a full body waxing session, a facial wax or a bikini wax, the very thought of getting my hair torn apart from my body makes me cringe. And if treatments like the laser treatment, that we are going to talk about today, come to our rescue, I would personally call it a SAVIOUR.

Thanks to the ever growing field of technology, beautifying yourself has become much more convenient and hassle-free. This is where comes handy the oh-so-famous LASER HAIR REMOVAL therapy. Agreed, it is a typically, not-so-pocket-friendly treatment that we are talking about. But if you have that extra credit to splurge, then why not!

TYPES OF LASER TREATMENTS AVAILABLE:

Permanent hair removal through laser beams has been getting popular over the past few decades. Many of us do not know, what exactly is all this about. So here, let me help you out! Basically, permanent hair removal can be done by two ways. Firstly, the laser beams, in which highly concentrated beams are focused on a target area, killing the hair follicles on the targeted skin. Secondly, hair removal can be done through IPL, i.e. Intense Pulsed Light. In this particular treatment, beams of low intensity are widely interspersed on a larger area. IPL is a more general process than laser treatment, which is more targeted. And due to more specific results, people often chose laser treatments over IPL treatment.

HOW DOES THE LASER TREATMENT WORK?

This is the question which hovers over our mind the most often. How exactly does this treatment help in permanent hair loss? Let’s face the truth here. Even laser hair treatments do NOT provide any permanent solution to unwanted hair growth. It just delays the growth of the hair for longer durations. The laser attacks the skin, and in the process kills the hair follicles. More precisely, it attacks the melanin in the hair follicles.

The next big question that arises in our mind, is this suitable for us? Laser treatments were basically targeted for the “LIGHT SKIN-DARK HAIR” audience. Those who had pale skin and darker hair were the most apt patients for this treatment, but now these treatments can be used by dark skinned beauties as well, thanks to the advanced technology.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLINIC:

Wait, what? Did I just say clinic? Patients? Treatments? Yes, it is a medical procedure. So if you are thinking of getting it done, steer clear form spas and saloons which provide these services without any medical and professional guidance. Even if you are planning to get laser hair removal done from a reputed hospital or clinic, make sure it is done by a professionally acclaimed cosmetic surgeon. In the case of the treatment being done by the doctor’s assistant, make sure a competent doctor remains on site of the procedure to look into any complications.

Surely, it would burn a hole in your pocket, but for some, it has proved to be worth the splurge. The treatment would require about 5-6 sittings, after which approximately 70% of the targeted area’s hair follicles die, thus resulting in hair loss which seems to be permanent. The average cost for each of these sessions may vary from clinic to clinic; depending on where you get it done from and which areas do you target. The sessions generally are meted out on alternative months and can be continued with touch ups, which should generally be taken, for better results.

But alas, no good things come without drawbacks. Most of the times, people who undergo these treatments have to suffer from swelling, redness and rashes on the skin. The skin can get irritated, but your doctor can prescribe ice-packs or targeted gels which can comfort your skin. Although scarring and blisters can occur on the skin, but these cases are very rare and are mostly seen on people with darker skin tones. No, I am not a racist. There is a scientific reason behind that. The darker skin has more melanin and can absorb the radiations more easily as the skin gets more porous. Other changes that may occur after the procedure are hypo pigmentation or hyper pigmentation, which is lightening or darkening of the targeted skin. Though these changes are temporary, but yes, they may happen.

PREPARING FOR THE TREATMENT:

Like any medical procedure, even laser treatment has a set of do’s and don’ts. Consultation with a reputed and experienced doctor is a must, beforehand. You should discuss with your doctor regarding the treatment; whether it is suitable for your particular skin and what results should you be expecting after the required sessions. Discussing the cost is also a generally good idea. Many doctors do advise avoiding direct contact with sun, at least six weeks before the due treatment. It is advice to cut back on waxing, plucking or electrolysis, i.e. any process which can hamper the hair follicle. Some doctor’s advice to shave the skin before the procedure, to get improved results. You may think, why this difference? It is because waxing damages the hair follicle and tugs at it; whereas shaving removes hair while keeping the follicle secure

Indeed, waxing is upsetting, and the mere thought of bikini-waxes makes us cringe and shiver. Yes, yes, we all hate the pain but love that silky, smooth-as-a-baby’s-butt skin. With the improved technology, you can bid the hot and messy waxing adieu forever. Sounds blissful! Doesn’t it?

So this is basically it. This is what I think about this so talked about practice. Go ahead, give it a try. But remember to play it safe. Stay beautiful.

Editor’s Note: Well written Ishleen, I have tried the Laser Hair Removal for my underarms and bikini area, read HERE and HERE. It’s been more than a year and I could not complete all 6 sessions still my growth has reduced a lot! It is basically hair reduction and not hair removal.

Have any of you tried laser hair removal/reduction? Your experience?

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Final Update

Hi guys,

Time for the last and final update of the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge. Read more about the event and the challenge HERE and the first update HERE, 2nd update HERE and the 3rd update HERE

I have been shaving my legs for more than a month now. I was always into waxing but things have changed since my marriage, I hardly get the time to go to a salon and also since it’s a new place, I was not very comfortable going to any salon. (Since I used to go to a particular salon only pre marriage near my parents’ place)

This shaving challenge came at the perfect time for me and I readily took it up, and I am so glad I did. I am a convert now and I guess the ease of shaving and how quick it is, has made me a shaving girl now 😀

Today I will bust the myths ‘Shaving causes harm to the skin’ and ‘Shaving causes nicks and cuts’. Well, shaving can cause nicks and cuts if a proper razor is not used and one is not careful while shaving. That was one of the reasons I never shaved before, coz I was always scared of nicks and cuts. But with the adjusting head of Gillette Venus razor, it goes on like super smooth even in the edges and corners of the legs and there has not been a single cut or nick ever with it. I don’t think I am trying out any other razor ever. And as far as causing harm to the skin is concerned, absolutely not! Shaving does not cause any harm to the skin, in fact it removes the dead skin cells and exfoliates in a way.

Benefits of Shaving:

  • Does not damage or darken the skin like hair removing creams
  • Saves a lot of time as no salon visits and can be done anytime,anywhere in minutes
  • Can be carried along anywhere, even on your long holidays
  • One razor lasts 3 months, so it saves a lot of money compared to other hair removal methods!
  • A total value for money
  • Ease of use, you just need a few extra minutes in your bathroom to shave and you are sorted

I have shared the correct method and some tips for shaving HERE and HERE

Its been a boon for me and now I can wear all my dresses without a second thought. I totally love the idea of shaving now and I don’t think I am going back towards waxing anytime soon 😀 From a girl who never shaved to one who does not want to go back,it’s quite a leap,don’t you think? Definitely give it a try, if you haven’t yet!

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge: 3rd Update

Hi guys,

Time for another update of the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge. Read more about the event and the challenge HERE and the first update HERE and 2nd update HERE.

Its been almost a little more than a month that I have only shaved my legs and not gone for any other method of hair removal.

In this post I will bust the myths that ‘Shaving causes itchiness’ and ‘Shaving changes hair texture or hair growth’. Well shaving does not at all change the hair texture in any way. As I explained in the first post, it is just the top part of the hair we cut when we shave, so the hair that grows and comes out later is the inside part which is in the roots of the skin,which is a little darker as it has more melanin and hence we feel that the hair is growing thicker and darker. It is just that the hair that was within comes out and we feel it is different when actually it isn’t and it is a part of the same hair. So there is no change in hair texture or color or thickness in anyway due to shaving.

Also I was the one who used to feel very itchy after shaving and that was always my concern, but with the tips I mentioned in the previous post, it has been breeze and I haven’t experienced any itchiness whatsoever. So it is not shaving that caused itchiness, but not following the necessary steps that caused the itchiness.

If compared to other hair removal methods, waxing is something I can’t and won’t prefer doing at home coz of the messiness it involves and always lack the time and patience to visit a salon for the same. I have also tried hair removal creams long back when I was in high school and junior college as doctor had advised me not to wax as my sensitive skin reacted to it then. The biggest disadvantage of hair removal creams is it darkens the skin, I have experienced that personally, with time and regular usage, it did darken the skin slowly. Also, I completely hated the smell of those hair removal creams.

And the biggest advantage of shaving for me currently is,I can do it quickly within a few minutes and anywhere. I just need to carry my small razor with me. What do you guys feel?

Philips Satinelle Essential Epilator BRE201 Review

Philips recently launched their new range of epilators and you guys must have seen the new Alia Bhatt ad on TV, who is their brand ambassador.

Philips had epilators before i.e. the Satinelle range which had only one epilating head, they have relaunched them with the Satinelle Essential where there is a shaving head and a sensitive area cap and comes with 2 years guarantee with just 300 bucks extra.

They have come up with 3 different types of Essential epilators, one is the basic one for basic, dry use i.e. Philips Satinelle Essential BRE200. One with shaving head which is this one i.e. Philips Satinelle Essential BRE201 and one with shaving head, for wet and dry use and with skin stretcher system i.e. Philips Satinelle Advanced BRE210.

I am reviewing the middle one today which comes with a separate shaving head. All these new Philips epilators come with a 2 year guarantee which is quite nice.

I love the white and pink color, it has a white body with pink stars over it. It has just one setting and not much to figure out and super easy to use.

It is very small and handy. It comes with two different heads, one epilation head and one shaving head, one cord to plug in, one extra cover for sensitive areas and a small cleaning brush. A 2 year year guarantee card and an instruction manual alongwith. It mentions on the box that it also carries a handy pouch which was missing, not sure if it comes with it or no.

Pictorial Steps

Since I have taken up the 30 days shaving challenge for my legs, I used the epilator on my hands. I was a bit scared but it went on pretty smooth and nice, did not hurt much. Only glitch I feel in general with epilators is you cannot really see what exact area the hair is removed or still remaining, I mean you have to wait for one complete round from top to bottom and  get rid of the stuck stray hair to find out which hair is still not removed and have to go over it again. Since all epilators have a slightly round head, the side of the skin it goes on, generally get missed. Then, I tried the shaving head which is square and it was so awesome, I fell in love with it. It was super quick and easy to work with, no going over the same area again and completes the entire area from top to bottom in one go. In short, I am going to stick to the shaving head for a long time :p

Epilating Head
Shaving Head
Sensitive Area Cap

It is very easy to clean and wash too, you can either use the small brush it comes with, or remove the head and wash that under flowing water. The heads can be easily removed and inter-changed by just pushing them towards the left.

Philips is eco friendly and hence I guess,it avoids battery and works on electricity, means you will have to be corded all the time you use the epilator. A little inconvenient coz you have to find a plug, keep the area in mind and avoid the wire coming in between your epilation, and with wet use, very difficult to use in the bathroom. Though the wire is quite long and was not much of an issue.

Coming to the price, it is quite cheap compared to other epilators in the market, almost 1/3rd the price. Its available on Flipkart HERE and keep an eye for discounts and offers and you can get it much cheaper.

Definitely worth investing in, also a perfect thing to carry along if you travel a lot or plan to go on a long holiday. And it comes with a 2 year guarantee, so once purchased, you are sorted for 2 years minimum, and more so depending on your usage.

So #BeReadyEveryday and #GoWowNow with the new Philips Epilators. Check out their facebook page HERE.

Have you tried the Philips Epilators before? What do you think of epilating?

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge: 2nd Update

Hi guys,

Time for another update of the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge. Read more about the event and the challenge HERE and the previous update HERE.

Another round of shaving after 9-10 days, my skin is still soft and smooth. I will bust the myth ‘Shaving alters or changes skin color or makes it patchy’ today. I have been shaving my legs since quite some now and it did not at all change the color of my skin. Skin might feel a bit patchy right after shaving,if you go for dry shaving and do not moisturise it enough. If you go for wet shaving, no such issue. And the patchiness is just for a few minutes untill you apply moisturiser, even in dry shaving. It does not make your skin change its texture or color in any way.

Your skin remains the same, and in fact it is even more smoother after shaving 😀 We all love those hairless legs’ feeling, right.

Some tips for shaving correctly:

  • Go for wet shaving while having a bath, whenever you can
  • Do not soak your skin in shower for more than 1-2 minutes, before shaving, as you do not want the skin to swell up.
  • Always moisturise before the bath for a smoother shaving experience.
  • Follow up with a nice moisturiser, preferably with retinol to avoid itching and calm the skin.
  • A shaving gel will make the process easier, if you run out of it, you can use your hair conditioner to shave.
  • Use a calamine lotion if you have sensitive skin.

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Update

Remember my Gillette Venus event and the #SubscribeToSmooth challenge I took for 30 days. Read all about it HERE

So, I shaved again after that and here is an update for you guys. The process has been so so smooth and easy plus super quick. If you read the previous post, I told you how Dr. Rashmi Shetty told us if your skin is well moisturised and then you take a shower and shave, the skin is soft and moist and you can shave in ease. But do not let the skin soak in the bath for too long as the water will plump up the skin and that may affect the smoothness of shave. Ideal time would be 1-2 minutes. I tried that method and it was super amazing.

My skin did not feel any dryness or stretched. There were no white flakes as we usually see in dry shaving or sometimes our skin itches due to that. There was no itching too this time. The Satin Shave gel makes it more softer and prevents skin from drying.

So the myth of shaving makes my skin dry and flaky is busted,right here! If you use the correct products and method, it does not. I am going to continue using this method. I hope you guys try it out too. Do let me know your experience. And leave your questions related to shaving in the comments below or you can even mail me 🙂

Gillette Venus Event and #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge

Hi Guys,

So you must have seen my pics from the Gillette Venus Event that happened last week, if you follow me on twitter or Instagram 🙂 It happened at the Zenith Party Suite at Palladium Hotel.

The theme was nautical and hence, everyone was either in blue or in stripes 😀 We clicked the pics with the sailor hat and Gillette Venus razor board props. Here is my pic from the event..

I went print on print..with polka dots on stripes 🙂

A panel comprising of dermatologist Dr. Rashmi Shetty, amazing makeup artist Namrata Soni and the ‘Heropanti’ actress Kriti Sanon talked about shaving and busted some myths.

Surprisingly both Namrata Soni and Kriti Sanon have been shaving from around 10 years and more. Namrata Soni talked about how being a makeup artist, they have to work with different people and sometimes also take care of these issues like hair removal coz a particular scene requires it, etc., so she always carries a Gillette Venus razor with her. She has sensitive skin and was not supposed to wax as she used to get rashes and hence, she has been shaving since the past 10-12 years.

Kriti Sanon said she also always got those red patches and burns from waxing and prefers shaving anytime. In fact, she mentioned she is so used to it, that she shaves every 2-3 days and carries a razor all the time, as she needs hair free skin for shoots,etc. She also mentioned how Gillette Venus goes quite smooth on the skin and the contours coz of the pivoting head, she does not have to press the razor hard which irritates the skin.

Dr. Rashmi Shetty busted some myths and talked about the right procedure and method to shave and the pre and post care for perfect shaving. She also said how majority women feel her skin would darken and the hair would grow thicker and faster forever after shaving, which is not true and holds no base. She explained how we nip the edge of the hair while shaving and it is not uprooted, the initial hair that grows back in 3-4 days is the one just below the skin, which is a bit darker coz of the melanin and hence we feel the hair is thicker.

Also, a lot of women including me, face itching issue post shaving, to which she shared the perfect way of shaving. According to Dr.Rashmi Shetty, one should not shave on dry skin. Moisturise your skin well, then have a bath and always go for wet shaving preferably. Then post shaving, apply a rich cream/body lotion (one with Retinol, if possible) which will soothe and calm the skin. And keep re-applying for 2-3 days and not just once.

Namrata Soni shared her favourite tip on shaving, she uses a hair conditioner to shave and uses a Calamine lotion post shaving and never faced any itching issue.

I am going to try both of the tips soon 😀

Coming to the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Week 1. I have always been a waxing person, but since the past quite a few months, I have tried shaving and have loved the results as I did not have to rush to a salon, even when I am pressed for time.

During my honeymoon,I had carried my Gillette Venus razor with me and it was so helpful as were at Andamans, and you cannot not wear short clothes at a beach,right 😀 Also recently when I met with an accident and was on bed rest, I could not go to a salon, and I shaved 2-3 times with my trusted Gillette Venus. Read my review HERE.

I have taken up this 30 days challenge and have already shaved my legs once, as I had to for a particular event and had no time for a salon visit. This time, I also used the Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel and it was all the more easier!

I will bust some myths and share my personal experience in the coming month with you guys 🙂

New Braun Face Review,Pictures

Remember the new facial epilator from Braun I had shared details of, HERE, I have been using it from quite some time now and here is the review.

What the Company claims: New Braun Face, the world’s first 2 in 1 facial device, delivering pore-deep cleansing and high precision facial epilation for pure, radiant beauty, whether you want to go make up-free or create the perfect canvas to try the latest trends. This revolutionary new beauty device from the world’s No.1 epilator brand is an investment in better-looking skin. Expect your complexion to look visibly smooth, fresh and beautifully flawless at the flick of a switch.

MRP: Rs.4999/- (Rs.4119/- on Snapdeal)

I love the fact that it is so small,handy and convenient..fits in a palm. And there is only a cap head and one cleansing attachment to be carried along with this and a tiny brush to clean it. Super travel friendly.

The epilator head is round and tapered and has rotating tiny tweezers on the side too which makes it ideal to use it anywhere on your face and angles. I mostly use it for my upper lips though. Even though most of us get our upper lips done at the salon, there are always this in-between days where the upper lips grow fast and its quite annoying  to visit the salon especially for upper lip wasting our precious time too. Also when I was out of town for my honeymoon for 15 days, I desperately needed this for my upper lip as I had forgotten my tweezers too and none of the 6 hotels we went to, had tweezers! Imagine my plight. I would have surely carried this with me, had it launched before my wedding! It would have been a savior. Travelling,long trips, no time for salon visits, etc is when Braun Face is God sent for us 😀

Instructions

I was shit scared using it for the first time, reading some previous experiences of people, but it was not even as painful as the salon threading! It took some time as the corners and edges are difficult to get in, but it was quick and took me about 10 minutes for the entire upper lip. There was no growth for about 10 days after which I used it again.

Even right now when I am on bed rest and cannot walk, this is very handy. I have already used it once after being discharged from the hospital.

The second cleansing head is equally amazing, and I have used it every alternate day before. It cleanses every speck of dirt and grime from the face. I have used it post makeup removal too. The bristles are soft and its not at all harsh on the facial skin.

You need to change the head after every 3 months of use. It comes with 2 years warranty and only needs a battery cell to operate. The hair can be easily cleaned using the brush it comes along.

You just need to press the click button below to remove/change the heads.

I had a similar mini tweezer from China before..reviewed HERE. It was not so good quality wise but still very handy. This is amazing in comparison and the cleansing head is a total bonus. Absolutely recommend it!

Rating: 4.5/5

P.S: Do a patch test before if you are intolerant to pain and cannot stand tweezing at all. If you regularly get your upper lip threading done at a salon, this would hardly hurt in comparison.

Have you tried/intend to try the new Braun Face?

Gillette Venus Review and the Apt #UseYourAnd Campaign

Gillette Venus Review and the Apt #UseYourAnd Campaign

“And” does indeed act as a wonderful oxymoron. Gillette has firmly taken up the challenge of standing up against stereotyping, given it a feminist flavour and has come up with a wonderful take on the same. A video which asks women from around the world to shed the one dimensional labels, telling them that they can be much more, much more than what they think they can, and they fit the “Master of multiple trades” tag wonderfully. A video starts with a young girl playing around with a helmet dreaming to become a astronaut.

This instantly reminded me of my childhood, when I used to run upto my mother after learning about new professions from TV or newspapers or magazines or anywhere else. I used to tell her, ” Ma, I want to become a soldier/firefighter/cartoonist. And she used to say, ” Haan beta. Why not?”

The video, for starters, is indeed inspiring. We, daughters and sisters in urban India have had the privilege of education and getting the opportunity to fulfill our dreams and ambitions.

The way I see it, this video is a tribute to our mothers, who were our teachers AND protectors AND role models AND cooks AND helpers AND the WORLD for us. My take on the video is, we do not need to look elsewhere for inspiration. All of us have to become much more than the girl next door. We are amongst the first ones from our generation who have got education at par with our male counterparts, have persevered more than anyone else to excel in what we do.

This is why I am a contrarian as well as a multi talented woman,

The journey to increasing the number of ANDs has just begun. Much more to come friends….#UseYourAnd and feel free to use the comments space to tell me why you prefer an “AND” and not an “BUT” or “OR”.

Reviewing the Gillette Venus razor was relatively straightforward. Its quick, its smooth and it looks sexy. In short, in keeping with the spirit of the video, the razor is quick AND smooth AND sexy AND affordable. It has a great designed body, and comfortable finger grips, pivotable head and is in every respect a Premium razor, except for the price tag – INR 199/- 🙂

It goes so smooth in a single stroke and the adjustable head takes the curves at the shape of our legs. So no adjusting,no nips and tucks, a pretty easy and quick experience. Also I noticed very less ingrowth after using Venus and the hair started growing after a good 12-13 days unlike with the usual. The soft cushiony cover around the three blades at the center and the blue indicator strip showing when to replace the blade adds to the convenience of this super amazing razor. You also get a separate pack of 4 cartridges priced at Rs.449/- and one cartridge stays a long long time, so you would not need to replace them soon.

I think it is THE perfect razor to own and every girl should have it, even if you are not into shaving, sometimes you do need a razor! There are always those emergency situations and this is the one worth investing in.

Rating: 4.5/5 

Have you tried the Gillette Venus Razor yet? If not, you should! 😀
