unwanted hair back
Hair does not come in any one size or type. Follicles in different parts of the body produce differing types of hair.
Hair can grow in thick, bushy patches or in long thin strands. In addition, hair is produced in follicles that can be
found at different depths and densities — as close to the skin's surface as a millimetre or as deep as five millimetres
or more. Until recently, this great variety in hair types and body locations made long-lasting hair removal a significant challenge.

Acne is a common, chronic skin condition caused by inflammation of oil-producing sebaceous glands. Bacteria colonises the
gland and blocks it causing Acne. Acne usually begins between the ages of ten and thirteen, and persists for five to ten years.
Acne breakouts are most common on the face, but they can also occur on the back, shoulders, neck, chest, scalp, upper arms and
legs. Younger men are more prone to severe, longer-lasting forms of the skin condition. Many women suffer from "hormonal acne"
— their outbreaks are tied to the hormonal changes related to their menstrual cycle. While hormonal acne typically starts
between the ages of 20-25, it can strike teenagers as well. . When left untreated, or when "picked at," acne lesions
can lead to permanent scarring.

As we age, freckles become more prominent and are often joined by noticeable age spots affecting many areas:
the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. They are simply tan, brown or black flat spots that appear over time on
areas of skin that have been exposed to the sun. . Age spots usually appear later in life and occur in all skin
types. Age spots are collections of the skin pigment, melanin, which have accumulated within the top (epidermal)
layer of the skin, the epidermis. Age spots are commonly found on the face and hands, or any other part of the
body that has been overexposed to the sun. treatments | FAQs | testimonials | links | photos birthmarks back Almost everyone has a birthmark. In most instances, birthmarks are small, and often located in inconspicuous areas covered by clothing. Many people consider these innocuous birthmarks a sign of their own uniqueness. However, some birthmarks are clearly disfiguring, especially those that appear on the face and neck. These birthmarks can be a source of great psychological and social pain. There are two basic types of birthmarks. Red or vascular birthmarks are caused by an irregularity in the blood vessels and are the most common type of birthmarks. Pigmented birthmarks, known as nevus (singular) or nevi (plural), are brown in colour and may be very large. Many birthmarks fade before children reach school age, but more commonly, they remain if untreated. treatments | FAQs | testimonials | links | photos freckles back Freckles are small brown spots that can be found anywhere on the body, most commonly on the face and hands. Freckles are an inherited characteristic, and are triggered by sun exposure. Some people might still describe a smattering of freckles across a child's nose as "cute" but as we age, freckles become more prominent and are often joined by noticeable age spots affecting many areas: the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. Efforts to diminish the appearance of freckles go back centuries. Recently bleaching agents such as hydroquinone, have been determined toxic by the FDA and other forms of deep resurfacing can be painful or leave scarring if certain rules are not adhered to. treatments | FAQs | testimonials | links | photos spider & small red veins back It's estimated that over 60% of the population suffers from spider veins. Spider veins (telangiectasia)are the small, superficial purple or red veins stretching like a web under the skin and may appear anywhere on the body, but most commonly on the face and legs. Thread veins occur when the vein dilates and become large enough to be visible through the skin. They are classified according to their appearance as linear, branching or spider telangiectasia. Overexposure to the sun is believed to contribute to the dilation of spider veins, especially those found on the face and become more common with age. It's nearly impossible to get through life without unsightly veins, blood vessels and other benign vascular lesions. treatments | FAQs | testimonials | links | photos scars back Scars - The story of our lives often shows up on our skin — scars from that fall off a bicycle, car accident or from surgery.
