Are You A Candidate For IPL Hair Removal? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Considering IPL hair removal? If so, there are a few things to know about this highly effective treatment.
The very best candidates are those with dark, coarse hair and light skin.
Why? Dark, coarse hair has a lot of pigment and can absorb a great deal of heat. If the surrounding skin is lighter than the hair color, the light energy concentrates on the dark hair, destroying the hair shaft.
For blonde, red, and gray hair types, we’ll need to pluck a hair to see if there is enough melanin near the root to get good results. Then, we’ll do a patch test.
Typically, though, electrolysis tends to be a better match for these hair types, providing the area to cover is small.
IPL affects hair in its active phase. That’s why multiple treatments are needed to disable each batch of hair as it enters the anagen, or active, phase.
With satisfying results like these, you’ll be glad to know that 6-12 sessions generally give you the results you want.
So, how much time and money do you want to spend fighting your hair’s active growth phase?
If the answer makes you groan, consider the alternative: 6-12 sessions for permanent hair reduction.
A lifetime or 6-12 sessions…when you’re ready, we’re here!

Red Light, Blue Light, Yellow Light, Go! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
As far back as 1500 BC, science has documented the extraordinary effects of light for optimal health. But it wasn’t until 1903 when Danish physician, Dr. Niels Finsen, won a Nobel Prize for his health success with LED therapy, that it began to get the attention it deserved.
NASA also uses LED to treat muscle and bone atrophy in astronauts. In fact, it was NASA’s research that uncovered the LED anti-aging discovery.
But just what makes those lights so special, you ask? LED, or light emitting diodes, has different panels of light.
Red is widely used to stimulate collagen, treat prematurely aged, sun damaged or sagging skin. The result is more elasticity, suppleness and flexibility by increasing the circulation in your skin.
Blue light kills the P.acnes bacteria, one of the causes of acne, because it’s sensitive to this light range. Best for stubborn, severe acne, the blue light also reduces oil and oil production.
Yellow is excellent for treating sunburns, reducing redness and skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea.
The bottom line is these non-invasive, highly effective lights act as a natural anti-inflammatory in your body, which results in building more collagen and elastin. And it builds it fast—150-200% faster!
We have found that up to 90% of clients see a big difference in their skin challenges. Why not join them?

“Why Do My Nails Peel And Break?” By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Just like your skin, nails can become dehydrated. Instead of flexibility, you’ve got splitting, tearing, and peeling.
There are a lot of reasons that nails become weak and break. Sometimes it’s a medical condition that can cause it, like hypothyroidism, but sometimes Mother Nature is to blame.
Culprits like aging and menopause have been cited as reasons for peeling and breakage. Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin A, C, D, and B vitamins can cause brittle nails as well.
Trade in dry, weak nails for strong, flexible nails. Include regular manicures as part of your recovery program. Relaxing and hardworking, manicures promote the health of both your hands and nails.
We’ll care for your cuticles, trim and shape your nails, and massage your hands and arms. We’ll also massage your nail beds! When we buff your nails to a high shine, we stimulate blood flow and that promotes stronger, healthier nails.
Our nail technician will also suggest nail strengthening products to fortify and strengthen your nails. With our expertise and care, we’ll help you build strong healthy nails that make you feel more confident and prettier!

Three Easy Ways To Pack More Punch Into Your Skincare Routine By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
None of us has a ton of time these days. That’s why it’s important to pack as much punch into your skincare routine as possible.
But what if you want MORE results from your skincare without adding extra time? Great! We’ve got some “at home” solutions that will knock your socks off! These are chemical exfoliants that contain enzymes to work a little more deeply.
Let’s take a look:
Retinoids-This is a vitamin A derivative that sloughs off the top layer of skin and generates collagen, the skin’s elastic network. Collagen breaks down as we age causing lines and large pores. Retinoids bolster and revive your skin’s sagging network by reducing fine lines, wrinkles and large pores!
Alpha Hydroxy Acids-These are naturally occurring molecules found in fruit and milk that have been used for centuries. (Think Cleopatra.) Some of our clients prefer the convenience of an AHA to that of a granular exfoliant, which also helps with fine lines and wrinkles. AHA’s can be alternated with retinols for even better results!
Beta Hydroxy Acid-Generally used for acne, BHA’s help reduce acne without aggravating it. It also decreases redness, inflammation and clogged pores while refining skin texture. BHA’s are also great for mature and sensitive skin.
As you can see, these add more punch to your routine. All you have to do is apply it. And how long does that take? Literally, beautiful skin is at your fingertips in seconds!
