Are you unhappy with your nose, or perhaps you experience difficulty breathing? Don’t worry anymore because Rhinoplasty delivers the solution you need. Whether you want reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, getting a nose job gives you a completely different look. No matter what you’re looking for in a new nose, our team at Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery in Portage, MI, will give you top-tier care and results.

Rhinoplasty, also called “nose job,” is a standard solution for patients unhappy with their nose’s shape or size. Apart from cosmetic benefits, the procedure has more versatile applications like improving nasal function after an illness or traumatic injury or helping with breathing problems that affect sleep and exercise. Therefore, this surgery aims to revise the nose to suit the patient’s desired functionality and appearance without forgetting skin type and face architecture.

How Does Rhinoplasty Work?

Most patients that get a nose job have their unique reasons. Your specific reason will determine the nose job type you’ll get after an initial consultation with our doctor. It’s vital to note that nose jobs are classified into two: functional nose jobs and cosmetic nose jobs.

1. Functional Nose Jobs

A functional nose job is for those seeking to fix a problem with how their nose works. There are different reasons why a patient will pursue a functional nose job, such as the cartilage septum being deviated or nasal passages being too narrow. Deviated septum usually occurs naturally or as a result of an injury.

Also, patients may seek functional nose jobs due to allergies or sinus infections that cause the turbinates (nasal concha) to become elongated. These shell-shaped structures are made of blood vessels, bone, and other tissues and may become swollen and inhibit airflow. Supposing it turns out to be a chronic problem, a turbinate reduction may help by removing tissue to make more space for airflow.

2. Cosmetic Nose Jobs

Cosmetic nose jobs are for individuals whose noses work just fine but desire to change the shape or size for aesthetic purposes. One main reason for this nose job is an asymmetry of some kind; perhaps your nose size isn’t proportional to your face and throws off your facial symmetry. Maybe you’re not pleased with the size of your nose or the width or the position of your nostrils; fixing a crucial nose area may improve facial symmetry.

Plastic surgeons are skilled in addressing different nose areas at once. There are two practical approaches to nose jobs: the endonasal approach (closed approach) and the external approach (open approach). With the help of a surgeon, you’ll be able to know the best approach for your needs.

I). Endonasal Approach

A closed endonasal approach is perfect for minor changes to a nose. With this approach, all incisions are done inside the nostrils to prevent visible scarring around your nose. Although this approach leaves no visible scarring, it has unique limitations, which you must understand as a patient.

The endonasal approach is excellent for minor, simple fixes since it doesn’t allow the doctor to access the underlying nasal structure fully. Moreover, the skin may not be repositioned fully when the nasal cavities are not attached. However, if you’re only interested in a minor change, this approach is perfect since it doesn’t require extensive repositioning or a full nose view.

II). External Approach

The external approach is mostly suggested for those looking for significant changes to their nose. For an external or open nose job, our surgeon will make a small bridging incision known as a trans-columellar incision that connects the nostrils and allows the nasal skin to be folded upwards, enabling the surgeon to access the underlying structure.

If you need serious changes to your nasal structure or have complicated nasal issues, an external nose job is a suitable option for you. The best thing is that, when healed, the trans-columellar incision is often invisible.

What To Expect

Before a rhinoplasty surgery, you’ll have to consult with our surgeon to ensure we all are on the same page. Here, you’ll let the doctor know what you’re looking for in a nose job, including what you want to accomplish. Also, the surgeon will examine your medical history and inquire about any medications you take.

The doctor performs a medical exam by closely examining the skin on the inside and outside the nose and letting you know what changes can be made to achieve your desired nose. The doctor will take pictures of your nose from various angles and later use them for reference during the surgery and assessing the results. The surgeon may order a blood test or other blood tests to ensure your body is ready for surgery.

Health Precautions

Patients are advised to avoid painkillers that contain aspirin or ibuprofen for at least two weeks before and after the surgery. Medications with these substances may slow down your body’s blood-clotting process, leading to more bleeding. Being open about the supplements and medications you take will help your doctor advise you on the ones that are safe to continue and those you should avoid using before surgery.

In general, smokers have more difficulty recovering from surgeries, and nose jobs are not an exception. Cigarettes slow down the recovery process since the nicotine constricts your blood vessels, leading to less oxygen and blood circulating and healing the tissues. Smokers are encouraged to stop smoking before and after the surgery to help with the healing process.

The Day of the Procedure

It’s safe for you to get your Rhinoplasty done in a hospital, a doctor’s office, or in an outpatient surgical facility, but the degree of the work will determine the kind of anesthesia that you’ll receive. A pretty simple procedure may only require local anesthesia to the nose to numb your face. The doctor may give you anesthesia via an IV line to make you groggy, but you’ll still be awake,

In other cases, patients are given general anesthesia to make them unconscious during the surgery. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, the surgeon will begin to make incisions inside or between your nostrils to separate your skin from the cartilage and start reshaping underlying structures. Depending on your individual needs, a small amount of cartilage needed for reshaping will be removed from your ear or deep inside your nostrils, but if more is required, you may get a bone graft or implant.

Recovering From a Nose Job

After the surgery, the surgeon may place a plastic or metal splint on your nose to retain the new shape during the recovery period. Also, he will insert splints or nasal packs in the nostrils to support your septum (the piece between your nose). You’ll be under doctor’s observation for several hours to ensure you’re doing well; if that’s the case, you may be able to go home later that day.

You’ll need someone to drive you home since you receive anesthesia during the procedure. Supposing the process is more complicated, you may be required to stay in the hospital for a day or two to help you recover. As you rest and recover, make sure your head is kept high above your chest to help yourself heal more quickly.

Aftercare

You’ll need to get lots of rest after your surgery before you can return to your daily activities. Strenuous activities such as running or those that may expose your nose to water, like swimming, should be avoided for several weeks after the surgery. Avoid blowing your nose and eat soft foods only to avoid excessive chewing.
 
Do not wear clothes that have to be pulled over your head as you might damage your nose. Also, try to reduce the facial expressions you make that require movement, like smiling and laughing. Therefore, how you take care of your nose after your surgery will determine the results — follow your doctor’s instructions for proper aftercare.

Get Your Desired Nose

Nose jobs are the best remedies to change everything you want about your nose. A nose job will reshape your nose to improve facial symmetry and help with problems affecting your breathing. Thanks to Rhinoplasty, you can get your perfect nose, allowing you to reshape your nasal structure completely.

Invest in yourself today and have your nose changed to feel more comfortable and confident in your skin. Talking to a specialist will help you understand how Rhinoplasty works for you.

There are several reasons why women may seek a breast reduction, such as to relieve neck, shoulder, and back pain. But even though this procedure is very common, many women who are interested in this treatment have many questions about the surgery and the surgical process. At Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery in Portage, MI, we know that patients who have a reliable source of knowledge can make the best decisions about their health and aesthetic goals. Learn more about the most frequently asked questions related to this procedure before you call to schedule your consultation with Dr. Elluru.

What Is the Best Age To Get a Breast Reduction?

One of the most commonly-asked questions is about the best age to have a breast reduction. The truth is, as long as the patient desires a breast reduction, there is no “best” age for this procedure. There are several stages in life where a woman may want or need a reduction procedure. Ultimately, the best way to determine if you are at the right age to have this procedure is to attend a consultation with a plastic surgeon. That said, some of the most common age groups for this procedure include:

Under 18

During puberty, secondary sex characteristics such as the breasts begin to develop, sometimes as early as age 11 or 12. Over the next several years, the size of the mammary tissue will grow in relation to genetics, weight gain, and hormones. However, many women younger than 18 struggle with overly large breasts and may desire a reduction before they become adults. Some girls as young as 15 or 16 may petition parents for permission to have this procedure.

However, while some surgeons may perform this procedure for girls younger than 18, most surgeons will not because the body is still developing. Additionally, because parental consent is necessary for any plastic surgery on a patient who is not a legal adult, the surgeon, patient, and parents will need to work together to determine whether or not surgery is a good idea. Many girls who want early reduction surgery will be encouraged to wait until they are at least 18.

Young Women

Young women aged between 18 and 30 are one of the biggest groups to seek a reduction procedure or other breast augmentation procedures for that matter. By the time women are in their 20s, the overall shape of their body and the development of their breasts will be complete, so unless there is a drastic change in body weight, the size of the breasts is likely to be static. For some, this is an ideal age to have this surgery.

Post-Breastfeeding

Pregnancy can drastically change the shape of a woman’s body, particularly her breasts. After breastfeeding, some women have breasts that are still enlarged with excess fat from the pregnancy. Many women like to have a reduction surgery after they have finished breastfeeding to restore the shape of the body to a pre-pregnancy form. That said, if you plan to have more children in the near future, it may make sense to postpone your procedure.

Mature Women

Women over the age of 40 also seek this procedure to refine the shape of their bodies. Many women experience changes in their body proportions related to aging, such as loss of volume in some areas of the body and gaining volume from fat in other areas. A reduction may be a good option to reduce the weight of the breasts, particularly for women who want to correct new body proportions.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why Do Women Want Breast Reductions?

Women of all ages seek a reduction procedure for several reasons. For example, some women site shoulder, neck, and back pain as being a primary motivator for having this procedure. Overly-large breasts can place stress on the spine and the muscles of the back, which can cause physical discomfort over time.

Other women may want to correct the size of their breasts for the sake of convenience. Large breasts can feel cumbersome during exercise or basic household chores, and it may be difficult to find bras that fit correctly. By reducing the size of the breasts, women will be able to have an easier time in multiple areas of life.

The Importance of Confidence

Beyond all the practical reasons women may seek to have a reduction surgery, perhaps the most prominent motivation for this procedure is to improve self-confidence. A poor self-image related to the body can have long-lasting psychological impacts. Women who feel self-conscious about the size of their breasts for any reason may not feel comfortable in public wearing certain clothes and may even take great steps to not draw attention to themselves.

By reducing the size of the breasts, women may begin to feel more confident about themselves. With more confidence may come more happiness or even a new willingness to make healthier lifestyle choices. The importance of confidence is tied to having a positive sense of well-being, so there may be no greater reason to have this procedure than wanting to feel better about yourself.

2. Are There Signs You May Need a Reduction?

Although the decision to have reduction surgery will depend on your aesthetic goals, some signs may indicate a reduction will be a good idea for your health. For example, if you have chronic pain in the back, neck, or shoulder that requires pain medication, patches, or other at-home therapies for pain relief, you may want to consider a reduction.

Women may also want to consider a reduction procedure if they frequently have grooves from bra straps on the neck and shoulders. Rashes and skin irritation beneath the breasts are another common sign that your breasts may be too large. Difficulty sleeping, exercising, or performing daily activities can also be signs that a reduction is in your best interest.

3. Can You Breastfeed After Reduction Surgery?

Some women who have not had children or who plan to have more children in the future may worry about their ability to breastfeed after a breast procedure. Like most other breast procedures, there should be no issue with breastfeeding in the future. In fact, the techniques used for a reduction are the most friendly to future breastfeeding. Please be sure to bring up your concerns about future breastfeeding during your consultation with Dr. Elluru.

4. Is Anesthesia Required?

Yes, general anesthesia is required for this procedure. It will take a few hours to complete your reduction surgery, so you will be administered anesthesia by a certified anesthesiologist so you will be unconscious for the duration of the procedure. After your surgery is complete, you may feel groggy as the anesthesia wears off. As long as you are generally healthy and pass certain labs and exams, then you should be approved for surgery using general anesthesia.

5. How Should You Prepare for Surgery?

There are a few things you will need to do before you can have breast reduction surgery. For example, you may need to complete certain labs, exams, or medical evaluations to determine whether or not you are healthy enough for the procedure. You may need to adjust the dosage of certain medications or temporarily discontinue blood-thinning medications one to two weeks before your surgery. It’s also recommended that you complete a mammogram before your procedure to establish a baseline for your current breast tissue.

6. What Should You Do After Surgery?

Your recovery period will take about two to six weeks before you can resume normal activities, such as exercise. Most women will be able to resume light activity within one week of their procedure, meaning they can return to work after one to two weeks. During your recovery period, you will be required to wear a special bra for 24 hours a day for four weeks to encourage good healing. When you have fully recovered from the procedure, it’s recommended to have a mammogram to assess your breast tissue and establish a new baseline.

Large breasts can be difficult to cope with, especially when it becomes difficult to wear clothes or perform certain activities. Some women with overly large breasts may even experience chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain. While there is no “best” age to have reduction surgery, most surgeons require their patients to be at least 18 years or older. Contact us at Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery in Portage, MI to schedule your consultation today.

As we age, it’s normal for our skin to lose its volume and perkiness, leading to wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and thin lips. While there’s nothing wrong with getting older, it can be hard to watch your face change and the person in the mirror grow less familiar. But with Juvederm, you can refresh your face, restoring volume so you feel younger and more yourself. Here at Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery in Portage, MI, we can help you feel rejuvenated and gorgeous with just a few simple injections.

Does Juvederm Treatment Use an Anesthetic?

Because Juvederm is a minimally invasive treatment, patients won’t need to use an anesthetic. A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment areas before the injections are performed, but this is only to stop patients from experiencing any discomfort from the needle. For this reason, patients don’t need to worry about any reactions the body might have to the anesthetic, and can carry on with their day immediately after their session – even driving themselves to and from the appointment if they like!

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the benefits of this FDA-approved anti-wrinkle treatment. To learn more about Juvederm, read on.

What Exactly Is Juvederm?

This simple injectable utilizes the power of hyaluronic acid, or HA, to hydrate the body and revitalize the skin. HA is found naturally in the body, but our production of it slows as we age. Without it, our skin stops receiving moisture, as well as healthy nutrients like elastin and collagen, which can result in its sagging, wrinkling, and becoming more coarse. But by giving the body a new, synthetic supply of HA, we can combat these issues!

When injected into the skin, the product gets to work restoring volume, moisture, and suppleness. Patients love that results develop quickly after simple sessions that are short enough to be attended on a lunch break, and make them look younger, healthier, and more refreshed, whilst still looking natural and like themselves.

So Aging Is the Cause of My Wrinkles?

Not necessarily. Things like sun damage, heavy alcohol or tobacco consumption, genetics, a poor diet, or even overactive facial muscles can be the cause of lines and folds on the face and neck, many of them contributing to a loss of HA in the same way aging does. Whatever the cause, if your skin is sagging and could benefit from a boost of hydration, this treatment may be right for you.

How Does This Treatment Work?

During your session, a series of injections are made into your treatment areas using a very fine needle. The product injected, containing HA, gets to work binding to water it finds in the body. Amazingly, HA can absorb up to one thousand times its weight in water! Once it’s done that, it brings that moisture to the skin, which will then become more plump and voluminous. In the weeks after your session, the body absorbs the HA and your face settles into its fresh structure, with gorgeous, natural results developing over time.

Because HA is naturally occurring in the body, the risk of a patient rejecting the product is incredibly low, and there’s rarely any kind of allergic reaction to it. Patients also love that the synthetic version of HA used in this treatment is a gel form rather than a liquid, so it better holds shape. The treatment also stimulates the body to produce more HA and collagen on its own, so as well as a cosmetic treatment, it works as a kind of kick-start for the body to rejuvenate itself!

Where Can This Treatment Be Applied?

This treatment can be used to remedy several skin concerns, including:

• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
• Depressed/hollow cheeks
• Sunken eyes
• Sunken temples
• Marionette lines (wrinkles that go from the corners of the mouth down the chin)
• The lips, to act as a lip filler and increase volume

What Will My Treatment Experience Be Like?

Before Your Treatment

The first step will be to come in for a consultation with a member of our expert team. This will be your chance to talk us through your cosmetic concerns, including what particular areas you’re hoping to treat. We’ll make sure that you’re a suitable candidate for this treatment, going over your medical history and any medications you might be on. We’ll also make sure this treatment is going to be the best option to treat your concerns.

If everything looks good, we’ll design a treatment plan tailored to you specifically, including how many injections to make, how much product will be used, and what type of Juvederm will be best effective for you; there are a few types that specialize in treating different concerns. Usually, we use about one to two vials of product per session. We likely won’t ask you to do anything to prepare for your session, other than coming in with a clean, makeup-free face.

On the Day

Treatment is performed in-house at our gorgeous Portage office. After applying the numbing cream, injections will be made into the targeted areas, sending the HA-fuelled product into your body. The length of your session will depend on how many areas you’re treating, but generally, they take no longer than 45 minutes. Most of our patients report feeling very little pain during the treatment.

After Your Treatment

Patients love that there’s no downtime following this treatment. This is in contrast to many surgical cosmetic procedures that require a week of bed rest and time off work afterward. You’ll be able to carry on with your life immediately, returning to work or running errands. We may suggest a few steps to keep your skin as healthy as possible, such as avoiding harsh sunlight and strenuous exercise.

How Long Before I See Results?

Because moisture is immediately brought to your skin by HA, you may notice some suppleness and new volume right away. As the body absorbs the product and it settles in, these results develop. Many of our patients achieve their desired results after around two weeks, when treated areas are plump, lifted, and shapely. The exact time will, of course, vary depending on the individual.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Juvederm is, amazingly, the longest-lasting FDA-approved filler on the market, with patients often seeing incredible 12-month longevity on their results. The timeline varies depending on the area that’s been treated, the way the body functions, and in particular, the type of product we decide to use during your session, as they vary in thickness. For example, one of Juvederm’s most popular products, Voluma, can last an astonishing two years.

After this time, you can easily book another session if you want to achieve the same look all over again. Some of our patients even come in for mini touch-up sessions between their main sessions!

Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

If you’re over the age of 18 and have noticed wrinkles, fine lines, or hollow areas appearing on your face and neck, you may be an ideal candidate for this treatment. Although many of our patients who seek out this treatment are in their 40s and 50s, we don’t suggest one specific age group is more suited to this treatment than another, understanding that sagging skin and a loss of HA can occur in anyone at any time.

Certain medications may make you ineligible for treatment, as will pregnancy and breastfeeding. If, during your consultation, we discover that your wrinkles are dynamic – caused by overactive facial movements, such as repeatedly frowning or smiling – we may instead suggest Botox. Botox is also an injectable, but targets the nerves under the skin rather than the skin itself, relaxing the muscles and stopping the skin from creasing and folding while it’s moving. The result is smoother, wrinkle-free skin that looks gorgeous and keeps Botox one of the most popular cosmetic treatments of all time.

It can be confronting to watch your face age and change until you no longer recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror. With Juvederm, you can feel yourself again, looking gorgeous and more youthful after a simple, quick session. And our team is ready to help!

We humans have hair all over our bodies. But unwanted body hair may leave you feeling unhappy with your appearance. At Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery in Portage, MI, our laser hair removal treatments can give you the lasting results you want.

Laser Hair Removal: How Long Do Treatments Take?

Unwanted body hair can cause a lot of anxiety about your appearance. You may feel uncomfortable about your body when you’re in certain situations, or perhaps you can’t wear the clothes you want because you’re too self-conscious about your unwanted body hair. Whatever the reason, it can make a significant impact on your life.

Laser hair removal is a fantastic way to get rid of unwanted body hair, leaving you with smooth and hairless skin that you can feel confident in. You will most likely require several sessions to see the results you’re looking for, and each treatment session is generally very fast. Depending on the size of the area you’re treating, your session may take anywhere between a few minutes to an hour.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

The word “laser” may look a little intimidating at first. But don’t worry—this is an FDA-approved method of hair removal that is safe and extremely effective. It uses a laser to target the unwanted hairs on your body without damaging the skin.

If you’re thinking about getting this hair removal treatment, then the most important thing is to find a reputable clinic like ours where you will be safe and get the long-lasting results you’re looking for.

How Does the Laser Work?

The laser used for this hair removal method is color-sensitive. That means that it’s attracted to darker pigmentation. When it’s used on your unwanted hairs, the laser avoids the lighter color of your skin and instead focuses on the darker pigmentation of your hair.

As the light reaches your hair, that light is converted into heat. The laser targets the root of your hair, warming it up and damaging the follicle. After you leave your sessions, you’ll notice your hair beginning to fall out. After a few weeks, the follicle will regrow its hair. However, after several sessions, your hair follicles will be unable to produce new hairs.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Essentially, any area where you have hair can be treated with this hair removal method. Some of the most common places where people have hair removed include:
•    Arms
•    Legs
•    Upper lip
•    Chin
•    Bikini line
•    Back
•    Underarms
•    Neck
•    Shoulders

What Is Getting Treatment Like?

Want to know what you can expect from your treatment process? At our clinic, we will do everything we can to make sure that your experience is safe, comfortable, and that you get the results you want.

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss what areas you’d like to target with your treatment. We’ll also talk about how you should prepare for your sessions.

Preparing for Your Appointment

This method of hair removal is non-invasive, and there is little you’ll need to do beforehand to prepare. That said, there are still a few things you’ll need to be aware of before your appointment comes if you want it to be as safe and effective as possible.

Remember that this treatment should not be performed on tanned skin. Avoid spending time in direct sunlight, and don’t go to the tanning salon. This treatment is best performed on shaved hair, so shaving before your appointment will help make the treatment more effective. However, you should avoid anything that removes the root of the hair, like plucking or waxing, since the laser targets the root.

Your Appointment

When you arrive at our clinic, we will be happy to welcome you to our safe and comfortable environment. Before we begin applying the laser to your desired areas, we’ll carefully clean your skin. We may also apply a small amount of topical numbing cream to the targeted areas.

Once your skin is ready, we’ll start using the laser. The treatment process should be painless, and you might feel a slight snapping sensation. If you feel any pain or discomfort, don’t hesitate to notify us right away. Because this is non-invasive, you’ll be able to leave the clinic as soon as your appointment is complete.

Recovery

There is very little recovery time necessary after your treatment. However, you should be aware that your skin will be more sensitive and therefore there are some things you’ll need to be mindful of in the days following your appointment.

Continue to avoid spending time in direct sunlight and don’t go to your local tanning salon for the next few days. You should also make sure to apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF every few hours to keep your skin protected.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

This is a highly effective and long-lasting way of getting rid of your unwanted body hair. But to see the full results you’re looking for, you’ll likely need several sessions.

The specific number of sessions you’ll need will depend on a few factors. But most people need somewhere between 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart according to their hair growth cycle. You may need a few more or a few less depending on the following factors.

The Results You Want

One of the main things that goes into determining how many sessions you’ll need is the results you’re looking for specifically. What does that mean, exactly? Well, not everyone seeking out this hair removal method is looking to get rid of hair entirely.

Some people simply want to thin the hair out on a certain area of their bodies. One great example is a man looking to thin out his facial hair to make shaving more manageable while still keeping the ability to grow a beard. This man will require fewer sessions than someone looking to completely remove arm hair, for example.

Your Hair Type

Another thing that plays a huge role in how many treatment sessions you’ll need is your hair type. The laser is attracted to darker pigmentation, so if you have darker hair your treatments will be more effective than on someone with lighter hair, and you may require fewer.

However, if you have especially thick hair, then it’s likely that you’ll need more sessions to completely get rid of hair than someone with finer hair.

Your Targeted Areas

Everyone has a different hair type. But the hair types on different parts of your body will differ from each other too. So, for example, a woman looking to remove hair on her upper lip only will probably need fewer sessions total than someone trying to get rid of leg hair.

The size of the area itself will determine how long each individual session will take. Because it’s a small area, removing your upper lip hair could take just a few minutes while targeting a larger part of the body could take up to an hour.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

You know how this hair removal works now, but what are the benefits of getting it?

Avoid Irritation

There are lots of hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking. But if you’ve ever had razor burn, then you know how uncomfortable shaving can be.

Waxing and plucking can have their own issues if they’re not done correctly. Going with this hair removal method instead will help you avoid skin irritation associated with other methods of hair removal.

Save Time

Shaving or waxing may feel quick. After all, all you need is a few minutes in the shower to shave your legs, right? Well, think about how often you need to shave your legs or other areas of your body. All of that time adds up!

Opting to go with this hair removal method instead will provide you with long-lasting results. And you won’t need to worry about spending time shaving or lengthy waxing appointments.

Gain Confidence

One of the best things about this hair removal method is how much more confident you’ll feel. Unwanted body hair can make you feel very self-conscious about your appearance. The lasting results you get from this hair removal method will help you feel confident and happy about your appearance.
