Lashes by Daren Faye

The light depletes the hair follicle of moisture, causing it to burn and die. The IPL hair removal adopts the photo-thermal therapy and it can be selectively absorbed by the target while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. As IPL hair removal therapy eliminates the unwanted hair from the hair root to the tip, the DermaLase IPL device has proven to be a very effective long-term hair removal technique.  

Nubody Equipment’s Health Canada approved DermaLase IPL Laser Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation machine can help you provide effective, pain-free treatments.

It can take six to twelve weeks for a hair to grow from the papilla to the surface of the skin.  

Every hair in our body goes through the three phases of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. At any given time about 85%-90% of your hair is in the Anagen phase (active stage), 1-2% is in the Catagen phase (transitional stage), and 10-14% is in the Telogen phase (resting stage).  

The Anagen phase is the best time to target as the hair is well situated in the follicle for the IPL to seek and destroy.  

Due to the different cycles, 6-8 treatments are recommended on average, spaced out according to the growth cycle. The time it takes to complete a full program varies from person to person and the location of the hair on the body, but is typically 12-24 months.

A popular choice for skin rejuvenation. Not only is it indicated for collagen remodelling but also to alleviate both vascular and pigmented issues, restoring the skin to a more youthful appearance. It has proven to be particularly effective for treating age spots, freckles, acne and rosacea.

IPL skin rejuvenation treatments are performed using a handheld device that delivers a broad spectrum of light onto the skin’s surface. The wavelengths of light penetrate deep into the skin tissue to stimulate the cells beneath the skin’s surface and trigger the body’s ‘purging’ response so that it eliminates injured tissues and dead skin cells that may be stuck deep within the skin’s surface. The IPL skin care treatments are typically conducted as a series of treatments at three week intervals, and the skin begins to take on a more youthful and clear appearance after the first few sessions.  

If you are looking for a non-invasive solution for freshening their skin and enjoying a more even skin tone, consider these benefits of the innovative skin rejuvenation treatment with a Dermalase IPL Machine.

IPL skin rejuvenation procedures do not require any anesthetic and sometimes offer near-instant results. The painless procedure also does not require any downtime, which means clients can resume regular activities shortly after the treatment. 

IPL laser treatments can be used to correct and refine nearly all skin types, and are particularly effective for treating:

• Freckles
• Age spots/Sun spots 
• Hyperpigmentation 
• Rosacea 
• Spider veins 
• Acne

To prepare for a microblading and microshading procedure, you should avoid the following: 

• alcohol, caffeine, ibuprofen, and fish oil 24 hours before the procedure to prevent bruising and bleeding
• waxing or plucking eyebrows 1 week before the procedure
• facials at least 2 weeks before treatment
• sunbathing and tanning beds on the day of the procedure
• retinol or vitamin A products 1 month before the procedure

It is essential that you follow these instructions after your treatment.

* Make sure your hands are completely clean before caring for your eyebrows.

Day of treatment: Once hourly, dampen a cotton pad with water and gently dab your brows clean. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the pad. Once the area has completely dried, use a Q-Tip to apply a thin layer of the provided treatment cream to your eyebrows. Repeat this wash, dry, moisturize process once every hour until bedtime. Use no aggressive movement and/or manipulation of the skin.

Days 2-7: Repeat the wash, dry, moisturize process ONCE daily. You can begin to use a gentle cleanser now for the washing step.

Try not to get your brows wet for any length of time, except during the cleaning process. If your brows get wet, simply dry them as quickly as possible with a clean towel/ tissue or a blow dryer on the cool setting.

If you are a side or stomach sleeper, you may consider propping yourself with pillows to prevent sleeping on your eyebrows for a few days.

The following must be avoided during all 7 days post-procedure:

• Increased sweating

• Swimming

• Hot sauna, hot baths, lengthy showers or jacuzzi use

• Sun tanning or salon tanning

• Lasers, chemical peels, or use of creams containing retinoids or acids

• Picking, peeling, or scratching the pigmented area

• Heavy household tasks that involve a lot of airborne debris

• Smoking or drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing

• Touching the eyebrows except when cleaning them

Your eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. The pigment may appear very bold, dark and/or reddish orange for the first few days after the procedure. Rest assured that this is temporary, and the color of the pigment will soften and balance gradually. Around day 4, your skin will become flaky and/or scabby, and you will notice some pigment flaking off.

During the scabbing phase, it may appear that the pigment is underneath is gone. Don't worry- this is normal! Your skin forms new layers over the pigment which can make the color look "foggy" or pinkish. It will take a few weeks for the pigment to fully resurface- this is why we wait several weeks before the perfecting session. After the first week, you will be able to wear makeup if necessary to cover any patchy areas between the two treatments.

Once completely healed, always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to your eyebrows when exposed to the sun, to avoid the pigment fading prematurely
