Today’s demands for beauty salon services are becoming more competitive. That is why companies are also manufacturing advanced hair removal machines that can be paired with today’s highly skilled team of beauty professionals. This is one motivation that brought Alpha Light hair removal system.

Alpha Light hair removal is a good way to get rid of unruly hairs because it ensures a deeper penetration and action into the skin eliminating hair follicles more effectively.

This technology is often compared to IPL or Intense Pulsed Light. They are similar in their mechanism of action, but the degree in which both light and heat are delivered into the skin varies. For regular IPL the energy that is delivered is only about 690 nm, whereas Alpha Light provides 808 nm. Therefore, the heat that is delivered into the skin is much deeper.

Both light and heat that is absorbed by the hair and the melanin, it then travels through the hair follicles, and in effect damages them permanently. After this process a cold treatment head is rolled gently over the skin surface. This makes the delivery process not only makes the treatment painless, but it also promises a localized treatment, therefore sparing surrounding areas.

So instead of the usual prick that laser treatments used to have, which is often described as similar to a heated rubber band being snapped on the skin, this provides a painless process.

Alpha Light hair removal also promises long term results and less touch-up. Even with the presence of sleeping hair deep within the body which can only be treated once they start to grow, the depth of treatment that the machine is able to capture more hair effectively. And overall it also doesn't require many sessions for a full effect.

Based on the clinical studies, a client may need an average of 4-5 sessions. But touch-up sessions may be necessary later on, since hairs are in different cycles during one treatment.

Most of the clients may need a treatment once a month spaced 4-6 weeks apart with the next. The spacing of treatments may eventually fall every 3-6 months once hair reduction becomes more noticeable. 

One may start to notice the hair falling off within 3 days to 3 weeks after the first session. But hair reduction will only be clearly evident later on.

The drawback with this technology is that it does not work well with blonde hair. It works better with locks that are more pigmented. For those with light coloured hair, there are other treatments available for a more effective result.

Meanwhile, for those who are good candidates for this procedure, experts suggest that they shave 3-7 days before coming in for a session. Waxing and other epilating methods may have to be avoided for the meantime because this can make hair treatment more difficult because the roots were also removed.

Alpha Light hair removal is known to be a very effective hair removal treatment in the market today, compared to many others. One major advantage is that the process ensures a high level of comfort.

The Difference Between Bikini, Brazilian, French & Hollywood Wax?

So you are that particular when it comes to grooming your intimate area. And you are tired of all the shaving that you opt to go for waxing instead. 

But you then found out that there are actually a number of names thrown out there, so which one should you choose?

Let me list to you the different waxing styles and it's differences so that you will know what to choose when you visit waxing clinic or parlour in Manila.

Bikini Wax

When we talk of waxing, the very first thing that comes to mind is a Bikini wax. Thanks to the name dropping Carrie did in an episode of Sex and the City, a lot of ladies are also going for it despite the fact that it is considerably painful.

This procedure doesn't really leave you bare down there because it is only the pubic hairs found on the exposed skin along the edges of the bikini line are removed.

It is done by applying warm wax or honey to the area which is then covered by a strip of cloth. Once the wax has hardened after a couple of seconds the cloth is quickly removed taking the pubic hairs off.

A bikini wax is a perfect way of trimming those untoward pubic hairs that embarrassingly peeks through your swimsuit. But at the same time, it also keeps a few hairs in place.

Extended Bikini Wax

This is another style of waxing which is quite similar to a Brazilian but it doesn't include the hairs at the back. Since techniques like these involve the removal of hairs in very delicate and sensitive areas, it is important that you get it done by a professional.

Brazilian Wax

If you want extensive coverage with waxing you can go for a Brazilian. This takes more courage and control because the process can be rather painful, but results are divine!

What makes it different from a Bikini wax is that it removes all the pubic hairs at the front, in between and from behind. But one thing that would characterize a Brazilian wax from other styles is the landing strip that is left at the center of the mons pubis.

So if you want to feel more confident sporting your skimpiest bikini this summer, a Brazilian would be the perfect choice.

Example of salon in Manila that do brazilian waxing is Pink Parlour. 

Hollywood Wax

You might get confused with the different terms. But in reality they only differ in very small ways. Just like a Brazilian wax, a Hollywood wax also removes all the pubic hairs at the front, middle and the back. A wax treatment is considered a Hollywood if you opt not to have any landing strip left, which is consistent to a wax. So in this method, you go totally bald which can be refreshing!

So now you get the difference between these four common waxing styles. But communicate with your aesthetician before the treatment to know that she gets what you want exactly.

You can also extend your creativity by beautifying your pubic region with trends such as “Vajjazling”. This is when you have temporary crystal tattoos placed in certain designs that you like. “Vatooing” can also be done where you can have your pubic area temporarily inked with sexy and other creative designs.

Facial and Body Hair Removal Techniques for Men

Back in the day, hair removal is something only for the ladies. But it seems that the turn of the tides is leading men to go to these lengths when it comes to grooming. Some do it for work-related purposes, while others simply want to get rid of their body hairs.

Experts say that requests are not really on getting rid of all the hairs, but they just want it trimmed and thinned out. If you also want to get rid of the untidy hairs and replace it with smooth and flawless skin, here are some hair removal options that you can follow.

Depilatory Creams

These substances come in a creamy lotion form which is applied to the area to be treated. Unlike your ordinary lotion, it dissolves the proteins in the hairs which cause them to loosen and then shed off. Just to be on the safe side, dermatologists suggest that before slathering the cream all over the problem areas, perform a patch test first. This is to check for any sensitive or allergic reactions since the chemicals in it can be rather harsh.

Once the cream is applied, you’d have to let it sit for 5 minutes, but usually the entire process can be done and over with in under an hour.

You can do it on your own using home kits available for $10-$20, or you could go for salon treatment which could run around $25-$50.

Electrolysis

This hair removal technique is rather advanced and requires careful precision because it involves a very thin needle in order to penetrate individual hair shafts. Once the hair is in place inside the device, tiny shocks of electricity are delivered which damages the cells that make up the hair. A lot of men find it to be rather uncomfortable. For genital areas in particular, a local anesthetic could help make the procedure much more tolerable.

The entire procedure my last around 10-20 minutes but the result will be permanent. However, depending on the amount of hair that you want to be removed, it can take a year of weekly treatments to get the entire area done.

It can work for each part of the body, but to make it easier on the part of the patient and for a thorough quality of work, it is best to start with the small areas first.

This procedure could cost up to $40 or more depending on the extent of work to be done.

This hair removal technique is considered to be the easiest to do and the most common. You can have it done professionally at a salon, or you could simply do it yourself using kits which you can purchase in department stores.

The usual material that is used are honey-based waxes that are rather sticky. But it is really helpful in thoroughly removing the hairs. Today soy waxes are available which comes in a creamy lotion form. When applied on the skin, it sticks only to the hairs. And just like traditional waxing, strips of cloth are applied over it and allowed to dry before it is abruptly removed. The entire procedure takes about ten minutes to an hour depending on the area that is being covered.

For this type of hair removal measure, men usually ask for whole body treatment, or something focused on the chest area, or male Brazilian wax. 

Example of salon in Manila that offers Brazilian waxing for men is Pink Parlour.
