June - The month of PRIDE

To be yourself is a truly revolutionary act.
The pride month is all about celebrations, parades, colours, dance, and of course PRIDE; the pride that one takes in self when accepting themselves, embracing themselves and encouraging people to know their true selves.
This month is symbolic of acceptance, equality, awareness, and education.
This journey of opening up is tough, for sure, but it’s worth it. With this beautiful transition, comes a few discomforts and challenges, such as unwanted hair growth. Don’t worry we are here to help this process ease for you.

Hair growth can be an unwanted part of this transition, which can be annoying. Change of hormones and then unwanted hair can be overwhelming.

Regular waxing or shaving can be a bit too much and can even result in in-grown hair, especially during summers. The ultimate solution to this inconvenience is Laser Hair Removal.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair removal is an invasive and convenient method of getting rid of unwanted hair. This hair removal method can reduce hair growth and hence, help to ease out your transition process. It works by destroying your hair at the root which will reduce the number of hairs and so there will be fewer problems. Laser hair removal also slows down the growth cycle and makes the hair finer and less prone to becoming ingrown.

10 Things you should know about Laser Hair Removal

Priyanka Aswal — Sat, 21 May 2022 14:01:44 +0000

With everyone’s busy schedule, no one has time to regularly shave or trim. It’s a fact that 9-5 jobs don’t leave you with enough time for yourself. If you’re an entrepreneur, it’s even worse, running the whole day for different meetings. Sometimes you just won’t get enough time to get ready, say, for an unplanned meeting, event, or party.

Why not opt for Laser Hair Removal? No need to shave, pluck or trim unwanted hair anymore. Trust us – this treatment is all that you need! According to Cosmopolitan, UK, most people reported satisfaction and reduction in hair growth and were super happy with the results.

Some people are skeptical about this treatment, as they have a lot of questions in their heads unanswered. Hence, we have compiled a list of things you should know about this treatment. What’s better than having all your questions answered at the same place right?

10 Questions Answered - Laser Hair Removal

1. Is the process painful?

A lot of people assume that just because it involves laser and high technology, it is a painful process. Let me stop you there, it’s not. It is a super easy process and pains the minimum, just like a rubber band being flicked.

The light from the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair. This will cause the hair to heat up and cause damage to the root of the hair and blood supply, inhibiting the regrowth.

High tech machine such as the Light Sheet Duvet machine is one of the least painful lasers in the market.

2. How much time does this treatment take?

The treatment time does not require a lot of patience, it is pretty fast actually; however, it will depend on the area of treatment. Generally, it can take from a few minutes to an hour.

3. When will I see the results?

This is subject to the client as it highly depends on your growth. Some people start to see the results after just one session, while for some, it takes another 2-3 sessions. But the results are promising.

4. How many sessions are required?

This depends on skin colour, hair colour, hair density, and hormones. The average is 6-9 treatments.

5. Can I shave between the treatments?

Yes, you are allowed to shave between the treatments.

6. Are there any preps that I need to follow before the treatment?

Yes, there are some key things to remember:

Shave the treatment area preferably 24 hours before the treatment. Remember not to tweeze or pluck the hair, as it might cause irritation during the session.
Try not to use any skin ointments, perfumes, or makeup before your session.
You can exfoliate the area before the treatment.

7. Any after-treatment care tips?

You must avoid sun exposure, sauna or gym sessions after and before this treatment. Specifically, refraining from the sun for 14 days pre and post-treatment is essential.

8. Are there any other benefits of laser hair removal?

Yes, interestingly laser hair removal has more than just one benefit. For people who develop sores and rashes because of in-grown hair, good news… this treatment is very beneficial to tackling in-grown hair issues, hence, reducing irritation on our skin too.

9. Is this treatment suitable for just females?

Not at all, anyone can opt for this treatment. More than women, men’s hair removal is a thing now! They are more interested in grooming than ever and the opt-in numbers have really gone up in the past few years. Moreover, this treatment does wonders for transgenders too. It really helps throughout the transition process.

10. Does hair removal treatment last forever?

This treatment does not eliminate hair growth but reduces it to almost 95%. Laser hair removal never guarantees a 100% hair-free body. Hence, some re-growth can be seen in the treated area. In such a case, you can consult your doctor again.

At Laserpod, you can be sure to get the best treatment for hair removal with our experienced professionals. You can book in for a free skin consultation, where we will examine your skin and recommend the best treatment for you.

Good news, you get 50% off on your first treatment with us.

Make your life easier with laser hair removal!!

Say bye to Ingrown hair

Priyanka Aswal — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 17:16:01 +0000

Ingrown hair problem?

Do you hate that feeling when suddenly you feel that something is wrong in the middle of the day? Oh no! it’s back again! It is starting to pain and soon it will get extremely uncomfortable! Yes, I am talking about ingrown hair! The uninvited guest. The worst feeling! Can you relate to it? If yes, then welcome to the ‘annoyed by ingrown hair’ group.

Imagine yourself getting all prepped up for a bikini or a pool party. You realize that you have a red bump because of ingrown hair. You can’t help it because you are so excited about this party. The worst part- wearing a skinny bikini or a skin-tight trunk might annoy your bump more turning it into a painful one. You know what these pesky bumps are good at -giving you the discomfort at their best!

There is a range of tips and ingrown hair treatments available to reduce the risk of it. To know the remedies, let us first understand what it is and how it occurs. Let me take you through the basics first.

What is Ingrown hair?

Ingrown hair is hair that is curled back into the skin instead of growing out, causing painful bumps on the skin.
Firstly, both males and females are likely to get this problem because of our want for hair-free skin. However, it is more likely to occur in areas with strong, curly and coarse hair growth.
Secondly, it can occur in any place on your body that is subjected to shaving or friction:
Underarm
beard
legs chest
pubic area
bikini line

What are the signs of ingrown hair?

They usually start with a little pain, itching and redness in your shaved or frictional areas. It often tends to grow bigger like a pimple and turns red and sensitive. It might also develop a puss inside of it.

How do you get ingrown hair?

Here’s the harsh reality, our desire for clean and smoother skin is the root of this problem. You could get this problem because of excessive shaving, wearing tight clothing for an extended time or wrong ways of waxing! Let’s go through them:

Wrong practice of waxing

Regular shaving or waxing can cause this problem. For instance, if you are getting a Brazilian or a regular wax from a professional but still getting ingrown hair, then that’s a matter of concern! This might be because of the wrong practice of waxing.

Clogged follicles

Sometimes our hair follicles get blocked by dead skin or dirt causing the hair to get stuck or even grow sideways or inside of the skin. This causes ingrown hair.

Friction

Wearing tight clothing for a long time causes friction (especially in summers when it is sweaty and warm)in problematic areas. Tight clothing can rub and break off the hair which in turn makes the hair turn around and push back into the follicle.

Is there any ingrown hair treatment?

For some people, this pesky condition can be treated easily (although it does take time), however, for other people these sores might get infected and might need more medication. Here are some tips that can help you to stop ingrown hair!

If you prefer waxing- exfoliate between your session. In general, exfoliation is advised to lift up the dead skin so that the hair doesn’t grow in the wrong direction.
Shaving -If you prefer shaving, wet your skin with warm water and use shaving gel. Remember to use as few strokes as you can.
Use a cold cloth against your skin after shaving to reduce irritation.
Try another hair removal method like suitable shaving cream.
Reliable ingrown hair cream and gels can opt. They must consist of ingredients such as Salicylic acid and AHAs which will exfoliate and soften the skin.
The best treatment for ingrown hair is to switch to a better method of hair removal like laser hair removal for long-lasting and quality results.

Laser hair removal and ingrown hair

Laser hair removal literally gets to the root of your problem. It targets the hair in its active growth stage through beam technology and reduces the growth of the hair. The process of hair removal by laser is pretty easy, less time-consuming and painless. Moreover, as they say, adding a cherry to the cake- this treatment also prevents you from getting ingrown hair and saves you the effort of putting in the time to shave or wax!

We at Laserpod, provide you with the best laser hair removal through our advanced technology of Duet LightSheer machine. We have a lot of happy and returning clients not just for laser but for other skin treatments too!

We would like you to save yourself from this pain and uneasiness caused because of this condition. Know more about this pesky problem and reach us for a free consultation today!

We are happy if you are happy! x

Laser hair removal- best choice for men

Priyanka Aswal — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 13:29:05 +0000

To all the men out there,

Do you want to get rid of your body and facial hair but are sensitive to what others might think? Here’s a piece of advice..hear yourself out..if you really want it..act for it! Heard of laser hair removal? P.S. it’s not just for women, it’s for men too! Laser hair removal for men is a growing need today, be it a sportsperson or a model, hair removal for men is in great demand. Getting rid of unwanted hair on your body and face cannot get any easier for men- so, if you are looking for some good advice, to all the gentlemen out there, hear me out, Laser hair removal is the best option for you!

Break the myth

‘Hair symbolizes your masculinity’ This is a preconceived notion that men have been living with for so long. But hello, century alert! it is not the 18^th Century anymore. It’s 2021 people!

A cultural shift has taken place where hair is no more associated with one’s masculinity. Although for some people, chest hair is still considered an attractive factor, mind you- a lot of it might be a serious turnoff.

Women are not the only one who wants to get rid of unwanted hair at different parts of their bodies..you know what? men want that too! And it’s pretty normal.

Today a lot of men like to groom themselves by maintaining their skin, body and hair. So why take a step back when it comes to hair removal? It is not just meant for women (Stereotype alert!), rather it is a part of the grooming process for both males and females. One doesn’t have to be shy about it anymore. If you want it, then just go for it!

Let's talk about the solution

There are many ways to remove your body hair like shaving, waxing, trimming, laser. Each method has its benefits and downsides. For instance, everyone is aware of how painful waxing is, especially for men. Any guesses on the best options available? Let me help you out here, its laser hair removal; it has the most benefits, especially for males. Just stay with me here and you’ll eventually find out.

For those of you who don’t know, Laser Hair removal is the talk of the town! (wink). It’s not just cool and trendy but it comes with some amazing results too! The percentage of people opting for hair removal through laser is increasing every year, and you know what, 20% of them are males! However, a lot of men are unaware of this amazing revolutionary treatment and its fascinating long-lasting benefits. If you are one of them then don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it.

Why Laser is beneficial for men?

Every men should be aware of this, by the way!

Laser hair removal is considered to be the best and most effective treatment for both males and females. However, it is more beneficial for men. Do you know why? Here is the answer..

One of the biggest reasons is the amount of testosterone produced by a male body, hence generating more body and facial hair. Generally, hair density per sq centimetre in a male is higher than in a female. There is more hair to be destroyed, thus calling for more sessions as compared to women. According to the men’s journal, there is a consistent growth in the men’s sector for laser hair removal because of increasing consumer awareness and advancing technologies.

Laser hair removal saves you from repetitive efforts of shaving, trimming or waxing!

What do you say?

What happens in Laser hair removal?

The science behind laser hair removal is very simple.

A Laser beam is used for targeting the follicle in each hair. The beam light turns into heat to damage the pigment within hair follicles (responsible for producing more hair). The follicles are then removed through the heat generated by the laser. This damage is the reason for delayed hair growth or elimination of hair growth in the treated area.

Some people (the lucky ones) see the immediate results, while for others it takes about 4-5 sessions to start seeing the results of this amazing treatment.

Is it safe?

The answer is a big YESS! It is absolutely safe. You just need to follow some pre and post-treatment rules. Don’t be scared, they are really easy to follow. Here are some rules:

BEFORE

Do not apply any deodorant or aftershave (basically to the treatment areas).
Take a warm shower before you walk in for the treatment (this is just to remove any oils that may affect the treatment)
Shave the target area 24 hours prior to the treatment. This allows the beam to reach the follicle and destroy the pigment.
Avoid sunlight for at least 2 weeks before the treatment

AFTER

No makeup/deodorant/aftershave for up to 24 hours after the treatment.
You might feel itchy or experience a burning sensation for a little while, but do not scratch the treated area.
Avoid sunlight for at least a week.

So what do you think? Wasn’t that easy?

What benefits does laser hair removal bring for men?

PAINLESS EXPERIENCE

Been through waxing? How much did you scream (tell the truth :P)? I can tell you that laser hair removal is such a blessing! All you would feel is a pinprick! That’s all!

CONFIDENCE

Flaunt your body with confidence at pool parties and beach days. Hair removal builds up your confidence to the next level. Showing off with confidence was never this easy. right?

Treatment diary

Laserpod takes pride in treating each client as an individual and we love hearing your stories and experiences. We understand that you might want to know more about laser treatment from someone currently experiencing it.

Koser Shaheen Association of Muslim Lawyers shares her experiences

Why did I start laser hair removal?

Like every woman, especially of Asian background, I have always had a constant battle with hair! My face, my legs, my underarms and not to mention all the other obvious areas…

After struggling for many years of trying every product on the market: creams, shavers, waxing, epilators, and even hair lightening creams, I started to research laser hair removal, after all – with the amount of money I’ve spent on this necessary evil I could have bought a BMW by now! Anything that promises ‘no more hair growth’ must be given a go!

Which laser is best?

I researched a lot. When I say a lot I mean a LOT! Starting with looking at different types of lasers, reading all the forums, reading the horror stories….everything. I finally whittled the best type of laser to two and found the most up-to-date model on the market was the LightSheet Duet Laser.

It was recommended as very suitable for Asian skin which was perfect for me. I searched the internet for that laser and it just so happened that this particular laser was being used in a salon near me. It was just the reason why I took the plunge and went to see Siobhan. I haven’t looked back since!!!

Siobhan!

Siobhan is an absolute Godsend. She is wonderful to be around, down to earth and very friendly. I felt at home as soon as I walked into the room. Siobhan makes you feel safe, is very professional, makes great conversation to help distract you from the pain (which is bearable) and is just a really really nice person.

Technicians who do this type of work range in commitment to the patient having a great experience and getting their ‘money’s worth.’ Siobhan is the former, she is a dedicated technician who puts her clients first above all else. She has over 10 years of experience doing this type of work and she takes it very seriously

Siobhan spends time talking to you, making you feel comfortable and I intend to stay with Siobhan as long as she’ll have me!

Not only do I recommend Siobhan for her expertise and value for money, but she will also always do her best to accommodate last minute changes which, working in a busy office, is so comforting.

Results so far…

I have to say, coming up to my third full body I am over the moon and extremely pleased with the results. It is already 60% less hair on my body now and I have 4 more sessions to go! My legs are so much smoother, no ingrowing hairs, the dark patches under my arms have reduced by 70%…so much more besides.

More from me soon!

After the next two full-body sessions, I’ll be posting another update but until then, I’m happy for you to contact me via Siobhan.

Parting comments:

WHY oh WHY didn’t I do this sooner?! NO MORE dark pigments underneath my arms. NO MORE nasty razor cuts and burns. NO MORE shaving, yippee!

My girlfriend has been on at me for ages to try laser on my back. I finally started when I lost a bet to her! It seems to work really quickly and actually hurt a lot less than I was expecting. I am getting my chest done now too – thanks Shiv J

Laser Hair removal – Donna
I had IPL treatment before and it did absolutely nothing and hurt like hell. My hair seems to be stubborn when it comes to falling out. However, now I am only on my third session but can see the difference with your machine (Light Sheer Duet Machine) immediately. My regrowth is much patchier and my appointments take no time. I’ll let you know more once I’m done.

Hair Removal – Stephanie
I felt quite self-conscious before I began getting my bikini area done but Siobhan was so friendly and welcoming I immediately relaxed! I couldn’t believe how fast the treatment was. Initially, I thought the experience would be painful but actually, it wasn’t too bad and the results are amazing. My legs are next now!

Skin Peels – Sue
I have suffered from adult acne and nothing seemed to help. Siobhan started doing regular peels on my skin and although I get the occasional pimple my skin is far more under control. As an added benefit the peel treatments leave my skin glowing and younger looking – score!
