Skin Deep wields an arsenal of high-tech exterior enhancers to solve an array of aesthetic conundrums. Laser hair reduction quickly eliminates unwanted down from fur-festooned body parts with the help of a Lumenis LightSheer Duet machine. The procedure starts with a thorough cleaning of the relevant area to remove dirt and stubborn body barnacles, after which the laser takes aim at the offending follicles, vaporizing the carbon particles in hair-growing glands while leaving surrounding cells untouched. Because the laser acts selectively, targeting only active hair follicles, there is very little skin irritation and no need for recovery time, unlike hair removal conducted via lawn mower. The treatment is effective for darker skin types that may be ineligible for other types of laser therapy. Optimal efficacy is usually reached after five to seven treatments, though this may vary depending on the density of the hair, skin tone, and each follicle’s emotional readiness to accept early retirement. Customers should shave the target area prior to their appointment.

Laser facial rejuvenation uses a Revlite photo acoustic laser to penetrate deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen growth and leading to improved firmness, elasticity, and texture. The laser also can be effective in reducing pore size, lessening discoloration and acne scars, and reducing dark hair on lips. Like the laser hair reduction, the procedure is quick and has no recovery time, allowing patients to immediately start using their revitalized faces to confuse familiar mirrors.
