What can I use to reduce the chance of ingrown hairs or pimples during the grow-out phase of Laser Hair Removal?
Keeping skin clean and free of dead skin cells is the key to avoiding ingrown hairs or pimples. Advanced Laser Clinics Exfoliating Masque gently exfoliates skin cells using a Beta Hydroxy Acid which does not irritate delicate skin tissue. Beta Hydroxy Acid exfoliates surface skin cells, as well as cells of the pore lining, keeping the area free of dirt and oil build up. Keeping each pore clean and clear also allows the dead hairs to release more easily.

I know I need to protect my skin from sun exposure. Are all sunscreens the same?

What makes ALC skin care products “natural”?
Advanced Laser Clinics Natural Skin Care Products are formulated with the majority of ingredients being natural plant oils, butters, essential oils, botanical waters and herbal extracts. ALC products use safe, cosmetic chemicals and preservatives to enhance each individual product as well as extend the shelf life for normal daily product usage. Products claiming to be “all natural” are misleading unless they are made in your kitchen and discarded within a few days.

The Facial Cleanser doesn’t lather like regular soaps, is it still cleaning my skin?
Most people equate soapy lather with effective cleaning. In reality, most commercial cleansers use ingredients that deplete natural fats and phospholipids from the epidermis, weakening the natural barrier and allowing toxic substances and bacteria to invade the skin. Advanced Laser Clinics Herbal Facial Cleanser uses cleansing ingredients made from sugar and fatty acids. They are completely non-toxic, biodegradable and effective for removing greasy substances that cannot be dissolved by water.

I don’t like the dry feeling of Toners, should I use the vitamin facial toner?

What makes the Facial Moisturizers different for each skin type?
When it comes to Moisturizers, a one-size fits all approach just doesn’t measure up. That is why Advanced Laser Clinics has formulated individual applications with specific nut, seed and flower oils and botanical butters that can be customized to benefit each skin type. Advanced Laser Clinics Facial Moisturizers contain no synthetic oils or humectants. The Dry and Sensitive Skin Moisturizer uses super fatted oils to penetrate deeply, supplying essential moisture to newly revealed skin cells after Microdermabrasion treatments or any type of exfoliation. The Normal Skin Moisturizer imparts elasticity and vitality to skin while stimulating cell renewal. The Oily or Combination Moisturizer hydrates skin with oils that penetrate quickly and balance oil production.
