Laser Hair Removal
Do you know that we offer laser hair removal treatments for body and face? If you would like to know which type of laser we use here is more information. Our laser machine, the FormaTK Spark Pro, is the most advanced 808nm diode laser yet. It offers excellent results and unparalleled comfort for all skin types. The hair removal laser, the FormaTK Spark Pro, produces a very highly concentrated pure light beam of a wavelength of 810 nanometers. This light beam is only emitted on the skin for a fraction of a second. The pigment of the hair absorbs the laser light and converts the light into heat. The heat causes destruction of the nutrient medium in the hair follicle, so that it is no longer able to develop a new hair. Achieving optimal results means understanding that every patient is different. That’s why in the laser machine they developed five unique hair removal treatment modules that allow a more precise, effective and comfortable treatment for every patient at every stage of treatment. This laser machine is clinically proven and FDA approved. MORE PRECISION, BETTER RESULTS Treatment parameters are determined based on several factors, including: skin type, hair color, hair size and density, treatment stage and body part. Formatk’s permanent hair reduction devices have been specifically designed with these considerations in mind, enabling practitioners to achieve better results by tailoring each treatment according to the patient’s physiology and treatment stage. Prior to the laser treatment, it is important that you do not epilate, wax or use the string method yourself more than six weeks in advance. An “empty” hair follicle cannot absorb light and cannot be treated effectively. The laser treatment is most effective and safe on fair skin. That is why we strongly advise not to expose the area to be treated to the sun or tanning bed for at least six weeks before the treatment. During your first visit it is important that the hairs are clearly visible. The skin therapist can then determine the hair type, precise depth and localization of the hair follicle. This is necessary in order to properly set up the laser equipment during treatment. After each treatment, less hair will return and the hair will be thinner and less stiff. Except for any light hairs and small down hairs, the dark hairs will eventually disappear. The skin will also be smoother and less ingrown hair, inflammation and irritation from shaving will be visible. It is possible that in the future new hair follicles will be activated or down hairs will turn to thicker hair. This process can occur independently of the laser treatment, for example due to hormonal influences, hereditary predisposition or use of medication. On average, six to eight treatments are required. This has to do with the different growth phases in which the hair is located. With dark hair and a light skin type (high contrast), fewer treatments can give the desired result. With light hair and a tinted skin (little contrast), more treatments are sometimes required. The exact number of treatments differs per person and cannot always be predicted in advance by the skin therapist. During the treatment period, progress will be regularly evaluated with you. If you would like to book your laser hair removal treatment, we have several offers available. Please, contact us via info@aspadirect.com
How do you adapt your skincare to the beautiful weather?
Do you need to adjust your skincare to the different seasons? We get this question asked very often. Our answer is: Absolute!! The weather is getting warmer and sunnier again. It’s time to update your skincare! You will be exposing your skin more to the sun in the near future, so that your skin needs other ingredients. And yes, it’s fun to change your routine. It gives you the opportunity to discover new fantastic products. From cold temperatures to sun You may have noticed that your skin feels very different in the winter than in the summer, but did you also know that you can notice a difference in the transition from winter to spring? Consider, for example, the fact that the heating has been on a lot recently (this gives you dry air in the house). This dry air can really affect your skin by pulling a lot of moisture from your skin. Result? Tight and dry skin. Fortunately, we are now leaving that time behind us. The heating is less necessary, the shower is less hot and we spend more time outside. Does my skin need more moisture in spring/summer? Yes absolutely! We have to replenish the moisture reservoir in your skin to restore your skin and make it resilient for the summer. More on this later, but first I would like to talk about why you should replenish the moisture reservoir of your skin. Where many skin types often needed a little more oiliness in the winter, you can now switch to lighter products based on water (hyaluronic acid). Let’s talk about TEWL (transepidermal water loss). TEWL is the evaporation of moisture from your skin. The degree of evaporation can differ per season, temperature or environmental factors (heating, etc.). We see a big increase in moisture loss in summer and winter. So now is the ideal time to properly replenish your skin’s moisture reservoir. It is important to compensate for this loss of moisture and to attract new moisture from your deeper skin layers. Are you not doing this? Then your skin barrier can be damaged and skin problems (such as acne, dull skin, but also wrinkles) can arise. Our bestseller product for replenishing and restoring the hydration of your skin An important ingredient that can attract moisture is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance and strengthens the skin barrier (the outer layers of the skin), making your skin feel less dry. In addition, hyaluronic acid is able to bind with moisture. (1000x its own body weight, wow) and that makes your skin feel hydrated. That is why we recommend adding a product with hyaluronic acid in your routine. We recommend INTENSIVE SERUM to many customers, because this has a fine gel-like structure that you can use as a day or night serum -> extra buffer layer between your cleaning care and day / night cream. In addition, it is important to look at how you can actually retain that newly attracted moisture. Because if your outer skin layer is broken, this moisture is lost immediately. As a result, you will still suffer from dry and tight skin. You can do this, among other things, by using a serum with vitamin B. This was the reason why we combined in our INTENSIVE SERUM both hyaluronic acid and vitamin B, so that you need to use one product which has multiple fuction for your skin. Our bestseller treatment for replenishing and restoring the hydration of your skin The PRX-T33 Skin-Booster is a new treatment method intended to improve skin structure and condition quickly and long-term. The most important active components are hydrogen peroxide, TCA and kojic acid. The unique composition of TCA with hydrogen peroxide allows to cross the skin barrier at different speeds at different depths. The aging process is delayed and the skin is revitalized without damaging it. The booster stimulates the skin to renew, allowing us to achieve long-lasting results and restores the complexion and elasticity of the skin. Immediately after the treatment you see an improved complexion and a healthy glow. The booster also stimulates the formation of fibroblasts and growth factors that help to delay the aging process. The skin will tighten and wrinkles and skin folds will be considerably reduced and is more hydrated.
Our Best Tips for the Glowing Skin!
Our Best Tips for the Glowing Skin! Many people think that drinking water helps to hydrate your skin, but often this is not enough to reduce dry skin. The water you drink will pass through your skin too quickly, so that your skin will experience little or no benefits from it. Food, on the other hand, does a lot!These foods help reduce dry skin: – avocado – Strawberries – Pineapple – Fatty fish (herring, salmon, mackerel, eel) – Oil (hemp seed oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, linseed oil) – Nuts (walnuts) Some other tips we want to give you to reduce dry skin: 1. Stop exfoliating your skin immediately: the grain of a scrub damages your skin. Instead, opt for a fruit acid-based exfoliant. We recommend glycolic acid or lactic acid for dry skin.Both lactic and glycolic acid have a moisture-attracting properties. A mild peeling is suitable for every skin type and should be done 2-3 times per week. At ASPA we have the selection of different peels for each skin type, just ask us. 2. Schedule an intensive home treatment every week: In addition to your regular skin care, we recommend that you do an intensive home treatment every week to hydrate and protect your skin. That way you get rid of your dry skin faster. A real hydration bomb is our Intensive Serum which you can use as a mask and mix it with a few drops of Olixia facial oil. 3. Or opt for our favorite treatment for a glow: microneedling! Have you ever scheduled a microneedling treatment for yourself? If not, highly recommended! The treatments are not relaxation treatments, but really effective facial treatments to give your skin that well-deserved glow again. Microneedling is a proven effective cosmetic treatment method, which is extremely popular! It ensures a radiant, even and younger-looking skin. After the age of 25, the production of collagen, a protein that ensures a radiant and plump skin, decreases. Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen, among other things, and thus prevents skin aging. It is therefore not surprising that everyone wants a microneedling treatment. Here you will find more information about our microneedling treatments: Meta Therapy SkinPen Do you want to purchase one of the above products, but are you unsure whether this will help you?

Why Vitamin C is the beauty expert’s secret weapon ❤️❤️❤️

These free radicals can contribute to collagen breakdown resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. VITAMIN C AND YOUR SKIN When used on our skin, it works as a potent anti-ageing ingredient. The antioxidants in this vitamin work to protect skin by fighting free radicals and harmful pollution, ideal if you live in a congested city! This helps to combat the signs of ageing including: 1. fine lines, 2. wrinkles 3. saggy skin. Vitamin C is also known for its brightening properties, helping to fade dark spots of pigmentation and brighten the skin, to give you an enviable glow. GOING GUMMY Oilixia’s Gummy Facial Cleanser formula is founded on Kakadu Plum extract. This is one of the best natural sources of antioxidant vitamin C which makes it ideal for smoothing out skin for a brighter tone and texture. On a 100g basis, Kakadu Plum contains 3,700mg of Vitamin C, compared to Camu Camu at 2,700mg, Kiwi Fruit at 180mg and Orange at 53mg!

Again, the Gummy Cleanser and its Vitamin C content is ideal to freshen up exhausted skin and give a healthy glow. It’s no wonder the cleanser is fast becoming a favourite with beauty experts! It’s the ideal product to nourish skin after a long day to leave you feeling clean and relaxed before bed.
Best Methods to Hydrate Your Skin ??
How to hydrate your skin? A well hydrated face doesn’t always require a huge amount of products—in most cases, a dehydrated complexion is nothing a serum or a hydrating cream (plus a tall glass of water) can’t cure. The trick, though, is to find out which formula is right for you. SERUMS SKIN TYPE: All. FOR THE WOMAN WHO… Wants to plump up her face. Serum is always a very concentrated product, so it’s going to hydrate the deeper layer of your skin. HOW TO USE: Massage onto moist skin after cleansing, day and night, for quick and deep absorption. LASTING BENEFITS: When applying a serum with hyaluronic acid, you’re going to see that your skin is plumper and more hydrated, and retains water better. Which serum to chose? Book your skin analysis at ASPA: https://goo.gl/Rnm47e and we will help you to chose the right one. FACE CREAMS SKIN TYPE: Oily skin= gel formulas; Dry skin ❤️ richer creams. HOW TO USE: Make your face cream the last step in your skin routine. Put in on after you applied serum and oil.Do not use creams with SPF in it. It does not work! It will not protect your skin enough. Instead chose dry sunscreen, such as Jane Iredale Mineral Make Up. LASTING BENEFITS: Even the driest complexions emerge softened and renewed. Look for the creams with the essential fatty acids and other non-oil, non-petroleum lipids for locking hydration into the skin. We recommend for sensitive skin: For dry skin we recommend: See you in ASPA soon, Azra
