Why Skin Treatments Solutions Are Most Effective at Night?

While you sleep your body enters into repair mode: the brain recharges, important hormones are released, and cellular rejuvenation takes place. When it comes to our skin, blood flow increases, along with DNA repair, cell proliferation (cell turnover), temperature, barrier permeability, penetration, itching, and moisture loss, in addition to decreased barrier recovery. This makes our skin even more receptive to the absorption of the types of active ingredients found in skin treatment solutions, and is therefore the best time to nourish and cure our skin. A gel cream formula is especially effective as the skin experiences more trans-epidermal water loss at night. This consistency helps to replenish crucial hydration, complementing the body's natural fluctuations.

Toronto Laser hair removal

Laser Hair Removal Preparation and Expectations!

The Cool Glide laser hair removal technology effectively destroys the hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin. We ask you to shave the treatment area before your laser hair removal treatment to better target the hair follicles. The treated area may be a little red afterward, which typically goes away in a matter of hours. A good candidate for laser hair removal treatment is someone with pale to medium skin tone with light brown to dark hair. No laser hair removal or light based system can treat blonde, white, red or gray hair since there is not enough melamine in the hair follicle to absorb the light.

What Are The Benefits of Skin Peeling?

The human skin produces about one million skin cells every 40 minutes, which equates to over 36 million skin cells per day. As our skin cells renew from the deeper layer of the epidermis, the more surface cells harden and lose moisture. Eventually these cells detach from skin and are replaced by younger cells moving up from deeper layers. Desquamation (detaching) also eliminates damaged and contaminated cells that carry pollutants and micro-organisms from the environment. These superficial skin cells don’t always effectively fall from skin and may cause clogging and congestion while leaving. As we age, desquamation and cell turnover slow down, making professional skin peeling critical to removing the accumulation of cells that give a dry, dull appearance to the skin. Through professional peeling, these dulling skin cells effectively removed, and newer cells are revealed for fresher, healthier appearance.
