Going to the beach, swimming at the local pool, and playing sports while shirtless will never be the same again once we remove all of your unwanted hair. Women who count on us to remove the hair from their legs often complain that they are tired of the hassle of shaving, the pain of waxing, and the creams that are temporary solutions. Temporary Hair Removal Methods Hair removal can be achieved through depilation (removing part of the hair above the skin's surface) or epilation (removing the entire hair). For many Marietta, GA. residents, traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently has been by electrolysis; which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable. And other hair removal lasers could not always be used effectively on well-tanned or darker skin.Long-term Hair RemovalIn just 30 Minutes or less you can free yourself from the everyday shaving routine. At Astoria Medical Spa, we exclusively use the Candela GentleYAG laser (the fastest, most effective hair removal laser on the market today).  Candela sets the industry standard for laser hair removal in speed, efficacy, and affordability. Only Candela lasers feature the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) for maximum client comfort. Candela products areFDAapproved hair removal for all skin types. Many centers use only an intense pulsed light (IPL), which is not as effective as a true laser, requiring many more treatments for the same effect.While the number of hair removal treatments may vary from person to person, the time between treatments will be the same for all individuals, but may differ depending on treatment areas.  Our hair grows faster in some areas than it does in others which means that our hair growth cycles are different depending on the body area.  Areas like the face need to be treated every four to six weeks apart while areas like the legs need should be treated about eight to twelve weeks apart.  Treatment schedules will be based on different areas of the body and must be followed exactly in order to see effective results.  Contact our hair removal clinic for a free and confidential consultation and we will discuss a treatment plan for hair removal needs. Why Choose Astoria Medical Spa for Your Hair Removal Needs? Only licensed professionals perform the laser procedures for hair removal We offer uncompromising concern for your comfort and safety With our Candela GentleYag lasers, we can effectively provide hair removal for all skin types Most importantly, we are NOT A LASER CHAIN! Frequently Asked Questions How Does The Laser Hair Removal Work? Laser treatment targets the dark color of the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy passes harmlessly through the skin, but is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft. By absorbing this laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their ability to grow. The laser is effective on hair follicles in the "Anagen" phase, which is the active growth phase of hair follicles. Not all follicles are in the growth phase of the cycle at the same time. Thus, leaving treatment times strategically spaced over the course of the hair cycles. However, individual hair growth phases vary. Most facial hair goes through an active growing phase every 4-6 weeks and non-facial hair every 8-12 weeks. Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by Candela'sDCDcooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner.How Many Sessions Will I Need?The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is most effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase. Other conditions may clear up in only one treatment, but many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated.How Do I Prepare My Hair Removal Treatment?Marietta patients schedule for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing approximately four to six weeks prior to treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus and are scheduled for laser treatment, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Also, your skin should be clean-shaven, and your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 14 days prior to treatment. Before laser treatment, prevents sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF30 or above).   ...read more

$45 Microdermabrasion Vinings | Astoria Medical Spa

If you are looking to restore a fresh look to their dull skin can undergo microdermabrasion. Astoria Medical Spa is a world-class Skin Rejuvenation, Laser Hair Removal and Anti-Aging Center located in Canton, Georgia and serving Vinings, Marietta, Alpharetta, and the North Metro Atlanta area. Microdermabrasion is a revolutionary new skin restoration process, commonly referred to as "the lunch time peel" because the procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can return to work immediately. The procedure uses highly controlled vacuum and pressure to move microscopically abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks or months, with comprehensive skin care treatment, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, revealing significant textural and color changes. Microdermabrasion can reduce the appearance of: HyperpigmentationFine Lines and WinklesAcne ScarsBlending Post-Laser areasSun DamageEnlarged PoresAge SpotsThe Bella Microdermabrasion Difference Microdermabrasionis a cosmetic procedure in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. After trying many different systems, we chose theBellaDermasystem for our microdermabrasion clients.BellaDermais considered by physicians to be one of the most effective and safestmicrodermabrasionmachines available.Microdermabrasionis a gentle and minimally invasive procedure not to be confused with Dermabrasion, which is an invasive procedure done to take off a deeper layer of tissue. Microdermabrasion is used to rejuvenate skin, treat acne, remove sun-damaged skin and scars, reduce uneven skin tone and remove dark spots (age spots.)The procedure is comfortable and requires no anesthesia.Microdermabrasioncan be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars.Microdermabrasioncan be very effective in the treatment of acne, with regular treatments providing the greatest improvement.Microdermabrasionshould not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months. There aremicrodermabrasionmachines that use diamond or other tipped wands and do not use crystals. For multiple reasons we chose a system that uses aluminum oxide crystals.Astoria Medical Spabelieves that the crystal-free machines produce microscopic tearing of the skin rather than the even abrasion that is produced by crystals. This abrasion is felt to be less traumatic for the dermis. It is also felt that there are multiple contamination issues with non-crystalmicrodermabrasionthat are not seen with the crystal machines.Astoria Medical Spa103 Mountain Brook Drive, Suite 112Canton, Georgia 30115p. 678.493.4675 ...read more

Whatever your hair removal needs are......We can help!        w w w. a s t o r i a m e d i c a l s p a . c o m Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal: How Does The Laser Hair Removal Work? Laser treatment targets the dark color of the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy passes harmlessly through the skin, but is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft. By absorbing this laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their ability to grow. The laser is effective on hair follicles in the "Anagen" phase, which is the active growth phase of hair follicles. Not all follicles are in the growth phase of the cycle at the same time. Thus, leaving treatment times strategically spaced over the course of the hair cycles. However, individual hair growth phases vary. Most facial hair goes through an active growing phase every 4-6 weeks and non-facial hair every 8-12 weeks. Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt? Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by Candela’s DCD cooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner. How Many Sessions Will I Need? The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is most effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase. Other conditions may clear up in only one treatment, but many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated. How Do I Prepare For Laser Hair Removal? Patients schedule for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing approximately four to six weeks prior to treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus and are scheduled for laser treatment, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Also, your skin should be clean-shaven, and your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 14 days prior to treatment. Before laser treatment, prevents sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). It is performed in a series of treatments designed around your unique hair and skin type. Depending on the area being treated, sessions can last from 20 to 60 minutes Quite unlike those stale at-home hair removal methods, laser hair removal is hands-off and headache-free. You sit back and relax while the technician performs your treatment. It won't affect your daily routine - go right from your treatment to work, school, the gym, to run errands, wherever! ...read more

Hair Removal Kennesaw - Astoria Medical Spa

  If you live in the Kennesaw area and have been contemplating Hair Removal,Astoria Medical Spabrings you the results you are looking for with just a phone call away. There are many people that are interested in Hair Removal in Kennesaw, but are overwhelmed with the number of clinics or hair removal options in the Kennesaw or North Georgia. We pride ourselves on providing the most up-to-date and accurate information concerning all aspects of  Hair Removal to both men and women.Click Here: Special Promotions!Temporary Hair Removal Methods Hair removal can be achieved through depilation (removing part of the hair above the skin's surface) or epilation (removing the entire hair). For many Kennesaw, GA. residents, traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently has been by electrolysis; which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable. And other hair removal lasers could not always be used effectively on well-tanned or darker skin.Long-term Hair RemovalIn just 30 Minutes or less you can free yourself from the everyday shaving routine. At Astoria Medical Spa, we exclusively use the Candela GentleYAG laser (the fastest, most effective hair removal laser on the market today).  Candela sets the industry standard for laser hair removal in speed, efficacy, and affordability. Only Candela lasers feature the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) for maximum client comfort. Candela products are FDA approved for hair removal. Many centers use only an intense pulsed light (IPL), which is not as effective as a true laser, requiring many more treatments for the same effect.While the number of hair removal treatments may vary from person to person, the time between treatments will be the same for all individuals, but may differ depending on treatment areas.  Our hair grows faster in some areas than it does in others which means that our hair growth cycles are different depending on the body area.  Areas like the face need to be treated every four to six weeks apart while areas like the legs need should be treated about eight to twelve weeks apart.  Treatment schedules will be based on different areas of the body and must be followed exactly in order to see effective results.  Contact our hair removal clinic for a free and confidential consultation and we will discuss a treatment plan for hair removal needs.It's no secret that both men and women use the services of a laser hair removal center on a regular basis. Men typically want to get rid of excessive hair on their back, legs, and chest. Going to the beach, swimming at the local pool, and playing sports while shirtless will never be the same again once we remove all of your unwanted hair. Women who count on us to remove the hair from their legs often complain that they are tired of the hassle of shaving, the pain of waxing, and the creams that are temporary solutions.
