LightSheer Desire Diode laser is a new technologie that combines a precise wavelength to permanently destroy hair and a suction feature to numb the nerves in order to make a laser treatment more comfortable on larger body areas, such as laser for a full back, full legs, full arms as well as laser treatments for abdomen and chest. A separate patch test will be required to establish the correct settings for your skin type and to make sure that the treatment is safe yet effective.
The manufacturer of the LightSheer Desire laser recommends 6-8 sessions for laser treatments for women and 8-10 sessions for men. However, from experience, we do not recommend to buy a course of 6 sessions (for women) or 8 sessions (for men) as LightSheer is a medical grade laser (very powerful), and you may not need more than 6 sessions if you are a woman, or more than 8 sessions if you are a man.
It is recommended to complete your laser hair removal course within the space of 12 months. 

Why can all of the hair be permanently removed in one laser session? Why do we need to come for a laser session several times?

The reason why the hair cannot be destroyed in one session is due to the fact that our hair grows in cycles: all hair in a growing phase at the time of the treatment will be permanently destroyed. Then, you will have to wait between 4-6 weeks (depending on the body area) until the next cycle of hair that was in a dormant phase, grows into an active phase, so that the laser beam would be able to target the pigment in the hair in a growing phase, and destroy it for good by cutting off the blood supply to the follicle. When it happens, follicle will never be able to produce hair again.
Book your patch test today to see if you are suitable for laser hair removal treatments with the LightSheer laser.

How to Assess Elimination Function of Your Skin

Best Facials For Acne And Oily Skin In London | Body Silk Clinic, South-East London, Hither Green, Lewisham, Blackheath

A need of our body to use skin for elimination of body waste and toxins exists for everybody without an exception, although not all of us can boast with such an ability. If you are one of the lucky ones and your skin is able to effectively help the body eliminate waste and toxins, this function of the skin can be as effective as the one of the kidneys and the gut!

As our skin has both sweat and sebaceous glands, it can excrete both water soluble and liposoluble (oil-soluble) waste and toxins. Healthy skin

can take up to 50% of the total elimination load of the entire excretion system of the body. However, skin’s eliminating function of many people can be suppressed by a number of reasons.

Laser Hair Removal Tips For The Summer

Laser Hair Removal In London With LightSheer Diode Laser | Body Silk Clinic, South-East London, Hither Green, Lewisham, Blackheath

If you have been thinking of getting started with permanent laser hair removal treatments at this time of the year, you should be aware of a few useful laser hair removal tips to make sure that your skin is safely treated and does not suffer from any unpleasant surprises as a result of you not doing your homework before committing to laser hair removal. Planning beach holidays usually includes concerns about taking care in advance of unwanted hair. A laser hair removal vs IPL option would require keeping the area of concern away from the direct sun exposure 4 weeks before and after your laser hair removal treatment. Bearing that in mind, the safest body areas for laser hair removal would be underarms and laser hair removal for bikini, provided that you are going to cover them at all times during the entire holiday. 

If you are interested to find out more information about laser hair removal and where to start from, book your consultation and a laser patch test with one of our consultants today or read other articles in our blog.

Everybody has heard of free radicals and antioxidants, but very few people have a clear understanding what these actually are and what effect they have on our health and the process of ageing.

Free radicals are the molecules that are missing one electron. The ions of the air, water or other substances that consist of such molecules are positively charged. Once they get into our blood stream through the lungs and then through the blood circulation, they behave like “vampires”, trying to steal a free electron to compensate for the missing one that they lack. And they steal it from our defenceless cells. As a result, the cells loose moisture (hyaluronic acid). This stimulates ageing. The moisture is being suckout out of the cells by free radicals like with a pump.

Antioxidants, on the contrary, are the molecules that have an extra electron. A concentration of such molecules makes the air or water or skin products live and fresh. In nature, such air can be found in the mountains, near the coast, in the woods, etc. The negatively charged ions are very mobile. Once they get in contact with the lungs, they travel to the cells of the body and "donate" a free electron to them. They behave like “donors”. Not only they neutralise free radicals that way, but also have rejuvenating effect on us.

That is why, at Body Silk Clinic, during our facials and body treatments, such as LPG non-invasive facelift, prescribed facial and Endermologie treatment combined with an ultrasound booster, we use products that stimulate antioxidant activity. During your consultation. you will also get a nutrition advise to help your body detox and rejuvenate while undergoing a course of treatments.

If you are interested to find out more about skin rejuvenation treatments, book your consultation with one of our consultants today or read other articles in our blog.

7 Tips When Considering Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal| Body Silk Clinic, South-East London, Hither Green, Lewisham, Blackheath, SE13

When it comes to laser hair removal, there is a few things to keep in mind, namely, to stay away from the following:

  1. wax or pluck your hair out 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the laser hair removal treatment. The laser needs to "see" the dark pigment in the root of your hair in order to destroy the blood supply to it and, therefore, stop the follicle producing hair. If you take out the hair root, there will be no pigment for the laser to "see" and the treatment will not work;
  2. sunbathe or be in the direct sun exposure 4 weeks before and after the laser treatment. During a laser hair removal treatment, melanocytes get activated. By exposing the treated area (and the area to be treated) by laser to the sun, melanocytes get activated even more that increases the risk of hyperpigmentation and even burns ;
  3. take supplements containing vitamin D two weeks before and after a laser treatment as it activates melanocytes that can increase a risk of skin damage during a laser treatment;
  4. pick on shedding hair after a laser hair removal treatment. It may increase the risk of infection;
  5. go to steam room or sauna or a swimming pool or take a hot shower a few days after a laser treatment as it may lead to skin burns due to increase skin sensitivity after the laser treatment;
  6. wear tight or rubbing clothes right after the treatment to avoid friction that may lead to skin irritation and and may cause substantial burns to the epidermis;
  7. apply deodorants or other perfumed substances on the lasered areas. It will irritate the skin that is sensitive after a laser treatment.
