Blame it on Victoria’s Secret, porn industry or those tiny Brazilian bathing suits for making it impossible for women not to “groom” our bikini lines.

There is not a single woman who does not have to deal with unwanted hair in the bikini area but most of us do not want to talk about it. It is easier to pretend that we were born with a perfect “landing strip” rather than admit that we just suffered through a torturous waxing session with Svetlana, Lucia or Sandy.

Hair removal solutions for the bikini area such as the above mentioned waxing, shaving or creams are time-consuming, painful and a temporary solution to a permanent “hidden” problem.

Laser hair removal is the innovative and most advanced option to give us the freedom of hair free life.

If you are “landscaping” your “v-zone,” than go for the Brazilian Laser Hair Removal.

Traditional Bikini Laser Hair Removal will not be sufficient for your favorite thongs, skimpy bathing suits and those “hot” Friday nights. It only removes the hair that is found on the outside of a bikini underwear line.

Do not fear the “Brazilian.” Traditionally it does mean everything gone, but these days Brazilian Laser Hair Removal gives you the option to create your own individual look. Remove the hair you want gone and keep what you want to keep. Be as conservative or as bold as your little heart desires.

The procedure is safe and gentle.

The skin in the bikini area is sensitive and prone to ingrown hairs and irritation. Waxing and shaving only exasperate this problem. Laser Hair removal will significantly reduce, if not completely eradicate the unwanted bikini hair, giving you a smooth and “bump” free skin.

Feel confidant anytime day or night in silky skin from head to toe.

Brazilian Laser Hair Removal will have you ready for the microscopic Victoria’s Secret lingerie all year-long.*

Living in New York City and feeling and looking fabulous is a challenge. Here are 7 secrets I swear by to looking and feeling your very best while living in New York City.

1. Frequent R&R – The best way to look like a mess is not getting enough sleep and not taking the time from your hectic days to just sit down and relax. Find even a few minutes just to rest. Learn meditation and try it in the evening in your apartment or in a park during lunch. Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
2. Escape Regularly- Get out of town with every season. Plan trips regularly – even if they are only day trips. We all need a little fresh air and nothing de-stresses better than contact with nature.
3. Forgo Wine for Water – Your skin needs water to look it’s best and it is essential to good health. Most of us order wine or reach for a soda on the go – instead, try ordering water and keep bottled water around. Drink at least eight glasses of water each day. In the mornings go for a glass of water with some fresh squeezed lemon juice to cleanse the body and speed your metabolism.
4. Find a Medical Spa – We all need a little help reversing the signs of age and skin damage. Treatments such as skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, hair removal, chemical peels, vein removal and Botox(R) are not just for movie stars. Medical Spa’s like Sensitive Touch are affordable and effective.
5. Befriend a Day Spa – One of your best friends should be a neighborhood Day Spa. Pampering your body is essential to feeling your very best. There are thousands of Day Spa’s in New York City and you will definitely find one that is perfect for you.
6. Walk NYC - Instead of taking a cab, try walking to destinations less then a mile away to get some exercise and discover the city. Walk at least two miles each day.
7. Be Picky When You Eat Out – New Yorkers dine out at almost every meal ,so being picky where you eat is very important to maintaining your weight and being healthy. Stay away from street vendors, fast food chains and greasy foods. Don’t be afraid to ask for special low-calorie or low-fat preparation of a menu item.

New York City is very unforgiving to our health and our bodies. New York City is very demanding of our health and bodies. Keeping up with the city’s pace and expectations is not easy but achievable. New Yorkers are achievers and good lookers.:)

Laser Hair Removal

The procedure:

The area is required to have full hair growth to start with. It is shaved and post shaving laser beams are roamed over that area to stop re-growth. Since, all hair is not alike, laser beams work differently on differently shaped and pigmented hair re-growth doesn’t stop in one go.

How it works:

Heat is created when laser light passes over skin and it targets the melanin in the follicle and hair. When the follicle heats up (if it is in its active phase) its ability to produce hair is disabled and no damage is caused to the closely located tissues.

Types of lasers used for hair removal:

Alexandrite Laser with long and deep beam easily enters the dermis to reach the hair follicle and stop re-growth.

Diode They are made up of small diodes/semi-conductors and have a very long wavelength. Very useful for dark colored skin where alexandrite doesn’t work as well.

Ruby It can easily seek out the melanin inside the skin because of its red color.

Q-Switched Nd: YAG This laser is formed of two laser lights. One is the invisible infrared light and the other is the green laser light. Infrared reaches the deep follicles and green laser treats follicles close to the surface. This way it works for all kinds of follicles and becomes effective.

PROS

• Almost painless and quicker than electrolysis.
• Works well for large areas of body for hair removal.
• Simple and uncomplicated.

CONS

• In some cases re-growth noticed.
• Small possibility for skin pigmentation reported
• Small chance of skin burn and irritation

If you are new to New York City or just visiting, you are going to want to consider all your options.

With over 240 laser hair removal centers in New York City you have plenty of choices, however, not all treatments are same. Here are some helpful tips to use when choosing a laser hair removal center.

1) Shop around before you choose a laser hair removal practitioner. Not all clinics and clinicians are the same. Ultimately, you will want to select one that is both within your price range and seems the most qualified.

2) Ask about prices and procedures over the phone. Some clinics will try to make you come in for a consultation before they give you any further information. If you want to go that route, make sure the consultation is free. There are plenty of other laser hair removal clinics and spas that offer free consultations.

3) Find out what kind of laser the practitioner will be using. If you have darker skin, you will need to find a clinic with a Yag laser, which has the longer wavelength necessary for darker skin.

4) Compare prices on a level playing field. You may find that one place charges more, but also recommends fewer treatments than another place. Some spas use lower-frequency lasers and frequent treatments, meaning you will need to return more often.

5) Choose the practitioner you trust with your body. If the technician makes you feel uncomfortable for any reason or the clinic refuses to answer your questions, then go somewhere else. While this may be a cosmetic procedure, you should still select someone you trust to perform it.

6) Look into the fine print of any special promotions. You don’t want to start treatment only to have the prices increased down the line. Ask the clinic if it offers any pre-paid plans for a series of treatments.
