Fun Facts about your Skin...


Your skin is your largest organ and plays a vital role in detecting hot and cold, regulating your body temperature and protecting your muscles, bones and internal organs from outside infection and disease. But that’s just for starters. There is so much more to your skin than you might think. Here are some of the most interesting facts about your skin:
  • The average person’s skin covers an area of 2 square meters.
  • Skin accounts for about 15% of your body weight.
  • The average adult has approximately 21 square feet of skin, which weighs 9 lbs and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels.
  • The average person has about 300 million skin cells. A single square inch of skin has about 19 million cells and up to 300 sweat glands.
  • Your skin is its thickest on your feet (1.4mm) and thinnest on your eyelids (0.2mm).
  • The skin renews itself every 28 days.
  • Your skin constantly sheds dead cells, about 30,000 to 40,000 cells every minute! That’s nearly 9 lbs. per year!
  • Some sources estimate that more than half of the dust in your home is actually dead skin.
  • Dead skin comprises about a billion tons of dust in the earth’s atmosphere.
  • Your skin is home to more than 1,000 species of bacteria.
  • Skin that is severely damaged may try to heal itself by forming scar tissue, which is different from normal skin tissue because it lacks hair and sweat glands.
  • Skin can form additional thickness and toughness — a callus — if exposed to repeated friction or pressure.
  • Some of the nerves in your skin are connected to muscles instead of the brain, sending signals (through the spinal cord) to react more quickly to heat, pain, etc.
  • Your skin has at least five different types of receptors that respond to pain and touch.
  • Changes in your skin can sometimes signal changes in your overall health.
These fun facts are just some of the thousands of important aspects of your skin and its health.

Waxing vs Laser Hair Removal; which is the better option?

Let’s decide🤔

Waxing is a well-known more traditional method of hair removal. It involves applying warm wax onto the hairy area and then smoothing down a wax strip on top. The wax bonds on to the hair, so that when the strip is pulled away quickly, the hair is also pulled along with it.😰 OUCH!

Laser treatment is a stronger and more effective method of hair removal than any other method including IPL which it can often be mistaken for. It promises a long term reduction of hair growth anywhere on the body. Laser hair removal works to destroy the hair's root down to the follicle via a pulsed light. People see lasting results within 6 - 12 sessions. Some areas respond faster than others and it works for a wide range of skin types.

So the decision is yours..........

What Are The Benefits Of Laser & IPL Hair Removal?

Benefits Of IPL Hair RemovalLaser hair removal is a very successful method of long-term hair reduction.

It is a safe method used by thousands of people to remove and slow
unwanted hair growth.

What Are The Advantages Of Laser Hair Removal?

Minimal Side Effects

There are only a few minor side effects of laser air removal, and those which do
occur tend not to last more than a few days.

Cost Effective

Once you begin your journey with laser hair removal, you will no longer need to
spend your money on regular expensive wax treatments, depilatory creams, 
razors or other methods of hair removal. It may be more cost up front, 
but over your life, you will save a huge amount by no longer having to spend 
on these procedures. You will also save yourself a great deal of time that 
would otherwise be spent shaving or waxing.

No Ingrown Hairs

Unlike waxing, threading and epilating, you will not have to put up with painful and
unsightly ingrown hairs. Neither will you have to tolerate razor burns or irritation.
Laser hair removal can even improve ingrown hairs.

No Waiting For Hair Growth

You don’t need surface hair for a laser hair removal treatment. In fact, you are
encouraged to shave soon before your session to prevent you scorching any of the
surface hair. This means that while you are waiting for the laser hair removal
to work, you can remain fuzz-free, unlike with waxing and other hair removal 
methods where you must have long enough surface hair before a session.

Precise

Laser hair removal specifically targets hairs right down at the follicle. This is
a particular benefit over intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal as the use
of the laser makes it more suited to treating people with dark skin tones.
The precision also means you should get results sooner.

Fast

Treatment times are fast, although speed will depend on the size of the area being
treated, and you are likely to see results within the first few weeks. You can also think
of the time you will save by not having to shave or have regular waxing.

Effective

Most patients can achieve permanent hair loss within 3 and 7 sessions, so laser hair
removal is very successful.
