WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

“Permanent Hair reduction” and “Permanent Hair removal”



Permanent hair reduction is defined as "long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime." Even though we're in the 21st century, permanent hair removal doesn't really exist. Sorry!

So what in the world does that mean? Well, we were all born with 500 to 1,000 hair follicles per square inch. That number can easily sit on a postage stamp! What this means is that you are NOT tweezing the same, stubborn hair day after day. Actually, Only 20% of the hair follicles that we were born with are actively cycling. We can only destroy hair follicles that are in the active growing phase. That is why 8 treatments spaced over certain time intervals are necessary for you to achieve good results. Remember, at any given time, a certain percentage of your hair will be in a "resting" phase. Hair removal will not be effective on hairs that are not actively growing.

After any given treatment the hair follicles that we destroyed are never coming back. What we can't promise, however, is that after multiple treatments, you'll never see another hair sprout. Why? Because a percentage of hair follicles we were born with are inert or chemically inactive. These hair follicles may, however, be activated in our lifetime due to certain factors, including stress, certain medications, disease process and hormonal fluctuation.

We at Butterfly Landing Medi-spa promise to do our best for you, with a laser that has consistent and effective results.  We are confident that you will feel that your financial investment was well worth it as long as you are faithful to the process that we set out for you.

 

Skin care myth:  "I only need sunscreen when I am out in the sun for extended periods of time".  
Skin care truth: You need to apply an SPF 30 or higher every day, rain or shine.
