Cut time out of your man-scaping routine by opting for laser hair removal. Whether you prefer a completely smooth chest, or you just want to get rid of hair in a certain area, Laser Smooth Company can give you a treatment to suit your needs. Say goodbye to the pain of cuts, razor burn, and ripping out hair. With laser hair removal, hair is permanently reduced.

How does it work? Lasers used for permanent hair removal emit wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the pigments in hair. If the hair is coarse, or if the surrounding skin is lighter than the pigment of the hair, the pigment in the hair will better absorb the heat from the laser, thereby destroying the hair follicle. When your treatments are complete, you will see a permanently change in the growth of your body hair.

Chest hair removal isn’t just for men. Even ladies occasionally get the stray hair on the chest or even around the areolas. Kiss those annoying hairs goodbye, ladies! Laser hair removal can take away those unsightly hairs without you ever needing to touch a razor or hot wax to the area.

Bikini Line
Keeping your bikini line hair-free with waxing or shaving can be even more painful and risky than with other parts of your body. Why risk such pain in such a sensitive area? Get your bikini line cleaned up with laser hair removal, and you’ll thank yourself in the summer.

We are steadily going further into the fall season, and as the weather changes it is important to adjust your skin care routine. The chill and winds of autumn present a different challenge than the overbearing heat of summer. Luckily enough, there is a common seasonal item that is perfect for helping skin through autumn. This autumn consider working pumpkin and pumpkin products into your skin care routine!

The International Dermal Institute lists many benefits of pumpkin for the skin. Did you know that the fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids in pumpkins increase cell turn over, which brightens and smooths skin? Pumpkins also contain antioxidant Vitamin A and Vitamin C. These vitamins can soften and smooth your skin. Additionally, these vitamins help fight signs of aging by boosting collagen production.

If you suffer from acne, pumpkins can be of great help. Pumpkin seeds contain zinc, which helps control both hormone levels and oil production. Zinc can also help with healing skin. The seeds are also high in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E. These help to maintain good barrier function on the skin and also regulate sebum, which is particularly helpful for those with oily skin.

Another reason pumpkin is so effective in treating the skin is because the molecular structure of pumpkin is small, allowing it to penetrate the skin more deeply when applied topically. This makes pumpkin an excellent treatment for those with dull complexions, aging skin, or pigmentation issues. Pumpkin flesh can be used directly on skin or can be used as an ingredient in your home-made exfoliating scrubs, faces masks, or moisturizers.

While treating your skin to rejuvenating pumpkin-based treatments, why not also treat yourself laser hair removal? Your skin feels best with it is smooth and hair free, and the experts as Laser Smooth Company are eager and able to help you get the permanent hair reduction your deserve. Laser Smooth Company offers the best laser hair removal treatment in the Gresham area, and had been proudly serving the community for years. Let us help you today! We are always open for free consultations, and we’d love to help you take the first steps towards permanently hair removal! We are conveniently located at 2850 SE Powell Valley Rd in Gresham, Oregon, and are eager for your visit.

Sometimes, the best products to care for our skin are things that come right from nature. If you’re looking to implement natural products into your skin care routine, or if you’re looking for something less harsh than store-bought cleansers, consider the following natural ingredients.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has loads of benefits for your skin. Of course it’s excellent for cleansing and moisturizing, but that’s not all it’s useful for! Coconut oil can also strengthen underlying epidermal tissue, remove dead skin cells, and protect against sunburns. Additionally, coconut oil has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant properties.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This natural skin care product cleanses skin and helps stop acne. It also helps to kill pathogens, like bacteria, and provides antifungal properties. Apple cider vinegar is especially good for helping with skin issues that stem from stomach issues.

Raw Honey

Raw honey is packed full of nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and skin-boosting acids. It can reduce breakouts, help to moisturize, and fight allergies and rashes. Raw honey is good for those with sensitive skin and works well for a wide variety of skin types.

Sea Salt

Sea salt contains tons of minerals and nutrients like magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium. Many of the minerals found in sea salt are minerals found naturally within our bodies. Therefore, sea salt can help balance, protect and restore the skin.

Avocado

Avocados contain vitamins A, D, and E, which can penetrate and aid the skin. Avocado is perfect for moisturizing and can help soothe sunburn as well as boost collagen production to treat age spots.

Sometimes the best skin treatments aren’t the high-priced products you find in the beauty aisle. Natural ingredients are very restorative and often more affordable. Start enjoying your skin to the fullest by giving it the natural aid it needs.

Are you tired of the repetitive task of plucking your eyebrows? Has fighting that unibrow become a chore you don’t want to put up with anymore? Laser hair removal can put a permanent end to the long fight with those excess hairs along your browline.

Your face is the first thing people notice about you and what people spend the most time looking at. Your eyebrows are a very noticeable part of your face. Men and women alike struggle with hairs that bridge the gap between your eyebrows, making your two eyebrows look like one. Laser Smooth Company can help you up your eyebrow game. Laser hair removal is truly the best option for areas where you don’t want hair to ever grow back – and who doesn’t want to permanently remove that pesky hair right over the bridge of their nose?

Tweezing is a literal and figurative pain. The task of plucking hairs from your brow hurts, and often leaves skin red and irritated. Not only that, but it’s a task that must be repeated regularly. Free up some precious time from your grooming routine by opting for laser hair removal instead. At Laser Smooth Company, we use the advanced Light Sheer Duet Laser to permanently remove your unwanted hair. The Light Sheer Duet Laser uses a process called Selective Photothermalysis or target destruction. This involves raising the temperature of the target high enough to damage the viable hair cells without damaging the epidermis and the surrounding tissues. After the proper amount of treatments, you’ll never again have to tweeze your hair away. That’s right – not more painful plucking!

Laser Smooth Company will help you achieve a clean, polished look by permanently removing the unwanted hair between your eyebrows. We offer the best laser hair removal treatment in the Gresham area.

Our skin’s natural oils serve a purpose. These oils are meant to protect and hydrate the skin and are vital for keeping the skin healthy. However, sometimes skin overproduces these oils, causing other problems such as clogged pores and acne. If your skin tends to be too oily, here are some tips to help treat your oily skin.

Regularly Wash with Gentle Cleansers

The best method of washing to reduce oily skin is to wash with a gentle soap and warm water. Avoid soaps with fragrances, added moisturizers, or harsh chemicals. These things can dry skin out, and while that might sound like what you want, it’s not. Drying out your skin too much will only result in it producing more oil to make up for the lack of it.

Try a Natural Astringent Toner

Some astringent toners, such as ones with alcohol, risk drying out your skin. However, some natural astringents, such as witch hazel, have proven to work well for people with oily skin. Witch hazel has a high tannin content that makes it a natural astringent and anti-inflammatory. It should be noted that this method isn’t for everyone. Some people experience itchiness and irritation that leads to over-dryness. This method should first be tested on a small patch of skin to gauge your skin’s reaction.

Pat Yourself Dry

Instead of wiping your face dry after washing, gently pat it dry. Wiping with a too-rough cloth can overstimulate the skin and cause more oil production, so gentle drying methods are best.

Blotting Papers

Blotting papers will not cure your oily skin, but they are useful for removing excess oil from the top of your skin. When used throughout the day, blotting papers will help your skin seem less shiny.

Facial Masks

Certain facial masks can be used to treat oily skin. Masks containing clay and minerals like smectite or bentonite can absorb oils and reduce skin shininess and sebum levels without irritating the skin but should be used sparingly to prevent skin from drying out. Raw honey has antibacterial and antiseptic qualities, so a ten-minute mask can be helpful for reducing oiliness and help control acne. Masks containing oatmeal are useful, too. Oats contain gentle, cleansing saponins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds that could soothe irritated skin.

Sometimes it takes some trial and error to find just the right treatments for your skin, but its important to find a balance between cleaning your skin enough to reduce oils without irritating it or dry it out. After all, having healthy skin is an essential part of living a happy, fulfilling life.

To assure the most effective laser hair removal, there are a few things you should avoid before your treatment. Laser Smooth Company wants you to give you the smoothest skin possible, so be sure to avoid the following before you begin your treatment.

AVOID WAXING, PLUCKING, & ELECTROLYSIS

Any hair removal methods that involves temporarily removing your hairs’ roots should not be used before laser hair removal. Laser hair removal permanently reduces your body hair by destroying the hair follicle. Light and heat are drawn into the follicle by your hair, so if your hair has been plucked by the root then laser hair removal simply won’t be effective. Refrain from waxing, plucking, and electrolysis for a minimum of three weeks before your scheduled hair removal treatment.

AVOID SUNLESS TANNING METHODS

The lighter your skin is when you receive your laser hair removal treatment, the better. Lasers used for hair removal treatment emit waves of light that are absorbed by the pigment in your hair. When the skin surrounding the hair is lighter in shade than the hair itself, the light is more effectively drawn into the hair and down to the hair follicle. For this reason, you should avoid all tanning methods – including sunless tanning methods – for a minimum of one month before your treatment.

AVOID BLEACHING YOUR SKIN OR HAIR

Additionally, because dark and coarse hair absorb the light waves emitted by laser hair removal tools more easily than lightly colored hair, do not bleach or lighten the hair that is meant to be removed.

We at Laser Smooth Company will give you the best hair removal treatment possible. We want to make sure our customers are satisfied with the results of their treatments, and are ready to advice you on all the necessary before and after care needs. We offer the best laser hair removal treatment in the Gresham area, and we’re eager to help you. We’d love to help you take the first steps towards permanently hair removal and are conveniently located at 2850 SE Powell Valley Rd in Gresham, Oregon.

Exfoliating is a popular skincare technique among men and women alike. This process is meant to help remove an excess of dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and can leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and fresh. Did you know, though, that people frequently over exfoliate?

Dry or Sensitive Skin

Exfoliating should not be done daily. Doing this too often will only strip the skin of its natural oils, which may cause breakouts. If you have naturally oily skin, exfoliating two to three times a week should suffice. If your skin is naturally dry, then it would be best to further limit your exfoliating routine to one to two times per week. Additionally, if you have a skin condition that makes your skin extra sensitive, you should avoid peels and limit your exfoliating, or you may only further agitate your skin. People who have cystic acne, couperose, rosacea, or hypopigmentation, elderly people, and people who have a fresh tan or a sunburn, should take extra care of their skin while exfoliating.

Use a Gentle Brush

One simple and safe method for exfoliating is to use a brush, moving it in small circular motions over your skin. Start low, then work up if you’re exfoliating multiple parts of your body. For example, you may want to start with your legs first. While exfoliating your face, start with your nose and move up to your forehead, then continue around the face in a circle. It may help to take a warm shower before exfoliating to open the pores.

Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation is also a popular method. Enzymes are a particularly safe way to exfoliate skin without breaking capillaries and causing irritation. Consider using an exfoliating mask with fruit enzymes, such as bromelain from pineapple and papain from papaya. These fruit enzymes eat away at excess oils and dry skin to expose a refreshed, clear complexion. Enzyme masks are often gentler and safer than acid-based cleansers.

Enjoying Smooth Healthy Skin

Whatever your preferred method of exfoliating, treat your skin with care. If you notice your skin becoming overly irritated while using any exfoliating method on it, stop use immediately and reassess your skin care needs. Your skin health is important, and healthy skin is beautiful skin!

Laser Smooth Company wants to enable you to enjoy your healthy, smooth skin to the fullest. If you are tired of using painful, uncomfortable, tedious methods of removing hair that must be repeated over and over again, then consider laser hair removal. Laser Smooth Company offers the best laser hair removal treatment in the Gresham area, and we’re eager to treat your problem areas, large or small.

There’s still plenty of time to enjoy our warm-weather clothing, and the last thing you want when going sleeveless is to flash everyone your underarm hair. The task of shaving, though, is so tedious, not to mention it can be supremely uncomfortable when your underarm hair begins to grow back in. Hair grows back thick and course, leading to itching and discomfort, and let’s not forget the risk always posed as hair grows back in — those dreaded unsightly and uncomfortable ingrown hairs.

Wouldn’t it be simpler if you could just zap away that unwanted underarm hair forever? Well, laser hair removal is designed to do just that! Laser hair removal permanently reduces bodily hair, and Laser Smooth Company offers the best laser hair removal in the Gresham area. No more fussing with razors while trying to awkwardly peer into your armpit to make sure all the hair is gone. No more accidental cuts. No more hot wax and ripping hair out of your sensitive skin. Instead, opt for the best hair removal option. Laser hair removal is safe and saves a lot of discomfort.

At Laser Smooth Company, we use the sophisticated and advanced Light Sheer Duet Laser. Light Sheer Duet Laser technology uses a process called Selective Photothermalysis or target destruction. This involves raising the temperature of the target high enough to damage the viable hair cells without damaging the epidermis and the surrounding tissues. Following follicular destruction, the debris of these cells will shed out and will fill with dermal fibers after approximately one month.
