Summer Laser Hair Removal 101

Just like you, we love Summer. The days are longer, the weather brings us outside more and that brings us to, you guessed it, your SKIN! So here’s the big question that we run into every summer: Are Laser Hair Removal treatments compatible with a suntan? The simple answer: absolutely not. If you are investing your time, money, energy and effort into Laser Hair Removal, please do not come in with a suntan. The laser does not know the difference between tanned skin and your dark hair. The energy from the laser is attracted to dark pigment. We want the light energy from the laser to be converted to heat in order to destroy the hair follicle – not burn tan skin.

The Educated Client

As laser technicians, it can be difficult to notice slight changes in our client’s skin color. Therefore, as we are not always able to tell wether our client is tanned or not, it is important for our clients to understand that sun tanning while being treated with the laser can be problematic and is not recommended.

The Difference Between a Suntan and Dark Skin

Please remember that we have a laser for every ethnic background; but having darker skin is not the same as being tan from the sun! We encourage our clients to take extra caution while being out in the sun and get in the habit of using daily sunscreen and covering up.

Why Vasu?

Dermaplaning in boulder

The Right Medispa: Knowledge. Experience. Results.

Once you decide that you have had enough of the unsightly bushes under your arms, your back or down there, you decide it’s time. Time to remove that hair, permanently, but where do you go? Or maybe you have long considered doing some anti aging treatments but you want to make sure you go to the best place in town, with the most knowledge, experience and results. Well, I am here to tell you why Vasu is the best place to go to for all skin related matters, whether its anti-aging, hair removal or advanced skin care. Here are 10 reasons (in no particular order) why Vasu is the best place in town and you should look no further.

Why Vasu: 10 Excellent Reasons

1) YELP & GOOGLE REVIEWS: Take a look at those YELP & GOOGLE reviews!! Talk about customer satisfaction. It pretty much sums up WHY VASU! See for yourself… VASU YELP & GOOGLE REVIEWS.

2) AFFORDABLE: More affordable than other places in town.

3) CONCERNS: For those of you who have any concerns or hesitations, what is so awesome about the women who run Vasu is that they explain everything. They take you through the whole process. All your questions will be answered and your concerns assuaged.

4) BRIDGES THE GAP: Vasu bridges the gap from a plastic surgeon to a basic esthetician.

5) SANITATION: Clean, sterilized, disinfected. Everything. From the lasers, to the supplies, to the table you lie on, to the floors, even the door handles. They take cleanliness very seriously and it is one of their top priorities. And if you still have any worries, they will be happy to disinfect the lasers for a second time, right before your eyes.

6) LOVE: They LOVE LOVE LOVE what they are doing! It’s infectious! You can just tell that their enthusiasm, and knowledge stems from a love of what they are doing. It really feels good to be in Vasu. They care and it shows. They take a real interest in you, the client and want you to leave there feeling good and happy with the results.

7) ETHNICITY: They take every ethnic background and understand all different skin types. This is VERY IMPORTANT when doing any skin treatments.

8) MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Vasu results are 10000x better than other skin places in town and I am speaking from personal experience both for anti-aging and hair removal. Before Vasu existed, I had my bikini area lasered. It took somewhere between 12-15 times (I lost count) to get the results I had been promised. My legs, however, through Vasu’s state of the art technology and experienced technicians, took only 6x!

9) CUSTOMER SERVICE: I think the Vasu ladies have gone through 5 star hotel training. They are top notch with their customer service. From scheduling, to your appointment, to following up, to everything in between, they leave no stone unturned in the entire process.

10) STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY: Not only do they have state of the art technology but they are constantly staying on top of the latest technology.

Find out for yourself Why Vasu. Once you do, I am confident you will never go anywhere else.

Time to Spring Clean!

… and we’re not talking about cleaning out your closet.

The snow has melted, the flowers are blooming, spring is finally here. I love me some spring cleaning! Cleaning and purging. Getting rid of the clutter. Opening up the windows. Cleaning out the cobwebs and dust bunnies. I don’t know what it is, but I suddenly want to purge myself of all the crap that has been accumulated throughout my house and piled up over the winter. I want to feel light and airy and minimal and tidy. That goes for my body as well.

In the last two days as the weather has been warm and sunny, I have been pulling out my skimpier clothing and have noticed some neglected areas on my body that could use some touch ups. I want to be hair free this summer. Don’t you?? While I was late to laser, mostly because it wasn’t even a thing back in my 20’s, I think it’s one of the great inventions of the 21st century. There is such a difference between the areas I have lasered versus the areas I haven’t. My calves are smooth as silk. My thighs are not. My bikini area is perfect. I never have to break out the razor right before putting on a swim suit, only to leave rashy bumps and an unattractive bikini line. And who, please tell me, finds hairy armpits attractive?!

Consistency matters…

One thing I want share that I have learned about laser, is you must be consistent. Be diligent with your appointments. This is how you will get the best results. The Vasu professionals will map out your appointments so you can catch those growth cycles at the right time and your hair will be gone forever. Hair laser removal does take a series of sessions but you will never have to shave again. And I mean ever.

So this is my advice, don’t just clean out the closet, give yourself a little spring cleaning too! Whether you are going to be in a swimsuit all summer or just shorts, or maybe even a skirt and tank top, surely those areas that have been covered up all winter, will be exposed. And I repeat, the brilliant thing about laser is once you get those hairs lasered, you never have to worry again about unwanted hairs poking out of unsightly places.

By the way, this is a great spring gift for any occasion! Oh and for you men out there, just as you probably don’t find hair poking out of a bikini appealing, we do not find hairy backs attractive… please run and get your laser appointment scheduled. We thank you.

2016: Commit to Your Skin!

Since the beginning of the new year, almost every person I know is on some sort of cleanse. They have strictly prohibited the following from their diet: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, wheat, dairy, etc. While I respect their ambitious goals, personally I find them hard to keep! This year, commit to your skin: I like to set myself up for success by taking care of my skin, which not only feels like I am doing something good for myself and is a goal that reaps rewards, but it’s also a treat. Not only is it relaxing and beneficial, but I love the ladies at Vasu. It’s a triple whammy in one. Unless, of course, you are getting hair removal – it may not be exactly relaxing, but the results make you feel sexy and smooth.

A Resolution to Keep: Commit to Your Skin

It is not too late to commit to your skin for 2016. It will pay off for years to come. A peel now and then, a laser here and there, a series of IPL’s, it makes for smooth, beautiful, wrinkle free, spot free, hair free, luscious skin. Now that’s a resolution I can keep! How about you?

The Specials Keep Comin’

And look out for the VASU specials. Every month Vasu offers packages at a discount. Whether you are doing chemical peels, a silk peel (I just had one and LOVED it!), or hair removal, it’s always best to buy in packages. Not only are you getting a discount (and who doesn’t like a bargain) but all of these services work best when you do them in a series. So you are committed to taking care of your skin and to getting a deal.

Simple Tips to Add to your New Years Resolutions

WATER! WATER! WATER! I know you’ve heard this a million times. So just do it! Drink 1/2 your weight in ounces. If you are 120lbs, that means drink 60 ounces of water. Water should be your BFF. It is what is sustaining you. Did you know that by the time you are thirsty you are already dehydrated? This is one of the single, easiest, free things you can do for your skin, body, health and mind so drink up! In fact, make it a habit to drink a large glass of water first thing in the morning before anything else. This not only helps your skin but helps your brain to respond quicker throughout the day.

Take Omega oils and watch your skin glow. Fish oil is amazing. When I take fish oil consistently, I notice two things immediately. My skin glows and my finger nails grow like weeds. I am always amazed that one daily tablespoon works such wonders.

Lastly, get good skin products for your daily home regime!! I can not stress this enough. I have used products for as long as I can remember and it has paid off. I continue to invest in this simple daily routine and love both the Epionce and Revision line! At night, I use the Epionce Intensive Nourishing Cream. Damn that stuff is good. Especially in this dry climate. During the day, I love Revisions Intellishade Broad-Spectrum SPF 45. This stuff rocks! You all know how important sunscreen is. This is the bomb. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

Manscaping 101

What exactly is ‘Manscaping’? Think landscaping for a guy. Cleaning up those hairy areas? Hairy back? Hairy ass? Who needs those? Women hate those! Planet of the Apes went out of fashion ages ago. What about all those cyclists around town who shave their legs? Why not just permanently remove that hair, no more stubble, no more shaving, no pricking your partner with you stubbly legs. Smooth chest…yum….who doesn’t love a man with a smooth chest? Think David Beckham. There is no way his chest is that smooth without some serious manscaping. And I bet that that is not the only place his body is ultra smooth. Or what about those private areas…yep, I’m talking groin grooming…how about cleaning up those too while you’re at it? Us women have been onto Brazilians for quite some time now and you men have been enjoying the benefits. Well, it’s your turn now. Women like groomed, bare areas just as much as you do. And according to a Gilette commercial there’s an added benefit, “When there’s no underbush, the tree looks taller.” ;-0

How does Vasu manscape? With a laser! “Why laser vs razor,” you ask? I’ll tell you why. Because after a series of sessions, you will never have to do it again. Your hair in those unwanted places will be groomed and gone forever. You will never have that itching, burning feeling or stubble again. You will never have prickly hairs just a day after shaving. You will be as smooth as a babies bum, and you will reap the benefits.

Nervous? Embarrassed? Vasu estheticians are professionals. They have seen it all, done it all, and are experts in the art of manscaping. There is nothing they can’t do or have done. They will make you feel at ease. Manscaping is becoming increasingly more popular and mainstream and in fact, Vasu has been doing it for quite some time.

Whether you do this for yourself, for her, or for him, you won’t regret it. Hairless is SO 21st century. Dare to be bare!

Why Wax When You Can Laser?

Good question, right? Are you familiar with in-grown hairs? A bumpy texture to your skin after waxing? Is the skin tone of your inner thigh darker than the rest of your leg? Do you have scars from waxing and ingrown hairs? Are you sensitive to shaving? How do you feel in that tiny weeny bikini with red shaving bumps? Are you tired of shaving and having your hair return within hours? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then laser hair reduction may be the answer for you!

At Vasu Skin Solutions, permanent laser hair reduction is now the same price as waxing! Laser Hair Reduction is permanent, fast, affordable and provides a speedy recovery over waxing. Laser hair reduction is also virtually pain free and highly sophisticated compared to invasive waxing techniques.

Laser hair reduction allows the client to remain clean shaven in between treatments while waxing is restrictive to having the client grow out their hair before each waxing session. Save time, feel sexy, conserve water and money in the cost of purchasing razors which eventually fill our landfills! It makes financial, environmental and socio-economical sense to laser rather than wax.

Laser Hair Reduction is scientifically proven effective in permanently reducing hair growth. Vasu Skin Solutions offers the latest laser technology for the reduction of hair growth for most skin types with the Quanta 755nm Alexandrite and 1064 Nd:Yag lasers. The laser is fired and sends out a burst of energy which turns into heat and permanently destroys hair follicles from producing hair! It works best on dark, course hair with pale skin. The lasers at Vasu Skin Solutions are new, fast and offer a unique cooling device which makes your session virtually pain free.

Call (720.470.4837) or email info@vasuskinsolutions.com Vasu Skin Solutions and we will answer all of your questions regarding laser hair reduction. If your hair is dark and your skin is tan free, we promise that you will be happy with the results,

Nooks and Crannies Laser Hair Removal

Do you want laser hair removal in your “nooks and crannies” but you are to afraid too ask?

The other day, a client came into my office and was acting a bit odd as she is normally incredibly outgoing and talkative. I asked her what was up and in a rather timid voice she said, “I have some hair “down there” that I would love to have removed, but I’m thinking that maybe it’s not a good idea or that you would rather not want to do it.” I could tell that she was a bit embarrassed.

If there is hair on your body, Vasu Skin Solutions can remove it! The only exception is eyebrows. We do not mess with eyebrows!

We do remove back and chest hair, underarm, legs, arms, lip, chin, male and female brazilians, etc. You get the idea; if you have unwanted hair, Vasu will take care of it! Laser hair removal is the way to go!

Yes, every single hair on you body can be reduced permanently by laser hair removal. Remember, we see hundreds of clients a month. You might be uptight about your body, about your hair, but we are not. We have seen it all. Believe me, I mean it when I say we have seen it ALL!

Like your doctor, you can trust us. What goes on in Vasu stays in Vasu. End of story.

If you know Jen on a personal level and feel odd that she is seeing you stripped down to your childhood self, no problem as Katie can take over. The same goes if you know Katie; Jen can take over.

So, if you have hair in your “nooks and crannies” that you would like removed, don’t be shy just tell us and we will take care of it!

The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Many people find “laser” to be a scary and intimidating word. Here at Vasu we are trying to make it more comfortable. We are striving to make the experience of laser hair removal as relaxing as possible. The idea of not worrying about unseemly hair is a pleasant one for most of us, but there are other benefits to this amazing new technique.

HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?

Laser hair removal is a technique that uses beams of highly concentrated light to penetrate the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicles and destroys the hair within the follicle.

BENEFITS

  1. PRECISION: Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair removal targets coarse, dark hair and leaves the surrounding skin untouched. Although there might be some sensitivity in the area, only the hair follicle is affected by the laser. Shaving creates razor burn and leaves unsightly red bumps. It can also cause ingrown hairs, not something you want in your arm pit or bikini area. Waxing leaves the skin red, irritated and sensitive.
  2. SPEED: The laser used can treat many hairs in a fraction of a second with each pulse. Each second the laser can target an area of skin that is roughly the size of a quarter. In some cases, small areas, like the upper lip, can be treated in just a few minutes. Larger areas, like the back, may take around an hour to treat.
  3. COMFORT: After just four to six treatments, most clients see permanent hair removal. Although touch ups may be required over the following years, laser hair removal allows for a comfort of mind, knowing that unwanted hair is no longer an issue.

Keep in mind that different skin types are affected differently by the laser. Make sure to talk to an esthetician before treatment. The staff at Vasu would love to answer any and all questions you may have about laser hair removal.
