At Jersey Shore Aesthetics and Wellness, we make the dream of consistently radiant clear skin & permanent smoothness a reality. Are you tired of the endless cycle of shaving, painful waxing, and stubborn stubble? Or maybe you’re frustrated by years of sun exposure showing up as distracting brown spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation?
We utilize cutting-edge light-based technology to provide two transformative treatments: Laser Hair Removal and IPL Photofacials.
Here is your guide to how these treatments work, their timing, and what they can achieve for you.
Revitalizing Your Skin: The Power of the IPL Photofacial
An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is your secret weapon against the most common signs of aging and sun damage. It’s a powerful, non-invasive treatment that targets the pigment and vascular issues that cause a dull, uneven complexion.
What IPL Targets:
- Brown Spots & Hyperpigmentation: Fades sun spots, age spots, and freckles by breaking down excess melanin.
- Redness: Reduces the appearance of redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries.
- Texture: Stimulates collagen production, which improves overall skin texture and tone.
IPL Timing and Recovery:
The IPL Photofacial is a remarkably quick and convenient treatment process:
- Session Length: A quick 20-30 minutes.
- Total Sessions: Typically requires 3-5 sessions for optimal results.
- Spacing: Sessions are spaced 3-4 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and shed the targeted pigment.
- Downtime: Downtime is minimal. You may experience temporary redness, like a mild sunburn. The brown spots will darken temporarily (sometimes referred to as “coffee grounds”) and flake off naturally over 7-14 days. Do not pick!
- Key Aftercare: Strict sun protection (SPF 30+) is mandatory before and after treatment.
Permanent Smoothness: Laser Hair Removal with ICON®
Achieving lasting smoothness requires using the best equipment. That’s why Jersey Shore Aesthetics and Wellness utilizes the versatile ICON® laser system by Cynosure for both laser hair removal and skin treatments.
The ICON® delivers light energy that targets and destroys the hair follicle at the root by focusing on the melanin within the hair, all without harming the surrounding skin.
LHR Timing and Treatment Areas:
- Low Discomfort & No Downtime: Most patients feel a sensation like a rubber band snapping, with immediate return to normal activities.
- The Need for Multiple Sessions: Laser energy only targets hair in the active growth (Anagen) phase. Because your hair is cycling in and out of this phase, a series of 4 to 6+ sessions is required to catch all follicles and ensure long-term reduction.
- Optimal Timing: We recommend starting your hair removal series in the fall or winter to ensure your skin is protected from the summer sun while completing your treatments.
The ICON® laser can safely and effectively treat nearly any area of the body where you have unwanted hair, including:
- Face: Upper lip, chin, and jawline.
- Body: Underarms, Chest, and Back.
- Limbs: Full or Half Legs/Arms.
- Specialty: Bikini Area (Traditional or Brazilian).
