This is the perfect time of year to start thinking about treatments that work well to shed off winter skin. This month we will be talking about Laser hair removal, pedicures, waxing and facial peels.

Laser hair removal – is where an area of hair on the body or face is treated with a laserbeam. Laser hair removal works really effectively on darker hairs to stop hair growth. Many different areas can be treated and a patch test and consultation are required before beginning treatment. This treatment is perfect to start during the cooler months as the treatment is undertaken every 4-6 weeks and works best when the client is not exposed to the sun – a typical treatment course can be anything from 6-20 sessions depending on hormone levels and hair growth stages and rates every person is different but with medical grade laser treatments most clients will see a significant reduction in hair growth after two sessions.

IPL is a version of hair reduction but is a different treatment to medical grade laser – medical grade lasers are used in Therapie in Galway and Bella Beauty in Ballina. These treatments have become much more affordable in recent years and most salons do offer payment plans. Bella beauty is offering a free bikini line or underarm with every half leg laser course booked this month.

Harley Waxing – It is time to start thinking about baring our skin again and getting our waxing back on track after a winter break. Harley wax is an oil based waxing system that reduces pain, impact on the skin and ensures a huge reduction in hair breakage when waxing meaning a longer smooth result. Specials in the salon this month include a full leg wax and extended bikini line or underarm for 35 euro.

Pedicures – our feet have remained hidden for the past few months and as the sun starts peaking out from behind the clouds we need to start thinking of showing our feet off again for the better months – hard skin and unmaintained nails and cuticles are the starting point for most people in early spring but this can be easily rectified with a good pedicure or callus peel this month we are offering a spa pedicure in our American chair with shellac polish for 50 euro.

Facial peels – the skin tends to be extremely dry and dehydrated at this time of year after a winter of indoor heating and over indulgence followed by January detoxing. Some really nice therapy for the skin to get it prepped for the spring and ensure your products are penetrating your deepest layers is investing in a professional facial peel. There are a number of different options available but the most popular are glycolic peels or our multi vitamin power peel from Dermalogica. A course of facial peels is recommended to get the best anti ageing results. Our facial peel ranges are on special offer this month for 60 euro.
