Health Plus Medi-Spa Inc.
Health Plus Medi-Spa has contracted with the Hair Free Laser Institute who is a premier provider of Laser Hair Removal services in Alberta (see www.HairFreeLaserInstitute.com). You will be seen by a certified technician from the Hair Free Laser Institute who will employ medically and FDA approved laser technology for permanent hair removal using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
Intense Pulsed Light technology is also used for:
- Improved skin appearance for Rosacea,
- Flushing, sun damage,
- Age spots,
- Skin texture,
- Photo aging which is referred to as PhotoRejuvenation, and
- Acne.
Various hand pieces are used with the IPL laser which focus on different levels of the skin where controlled flashes of light penetrate and are absorbed by either the hair follicles or the pigment within the skin. It is usually a series of treatments (6-8) to reach satisfactory results.
All areas of the body (except directly around the eyes) can be treated. Treatments are relatively pain-free and can be treated quickly. It is effective on all skin types and can be adjusted based on hair color, texture and body location (gray or white hairs will not be destroyed since there is no pigment in those follicles). If you have waxed, plucked or tweezed please wait 4-6 weeks before coming for your treatment.
