Get Ready for Summer

Summer is finally on its way! After a long winter, WIDLS is getting ready for the sun and fun of the season with new specials.

Remove Unwanted Hair

As you cast off your heavy winter apparel and get ready to slip into your light and breezy summer outfits, it’s the ideal time to rid yourself of excess and unwanted body hair. The days when unwanted hair had to be removed by painful waxing or plucking are long gone. At WIDLS, we use laser hair removal technology to remove hair in a quick, safe, and effective process.

The laser light is directed through the skin surface to the next layer, called the dermis, where the hair follicles are located. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in each follicle and the heat instantly shuts down the follicles or destroys them altogether.

The hair removal laser can work on any body area. The most commonly treated areas are the legs, bikini, underarms, chin, upper lip, and chest or back (in men). Now through the end of June, take 10% off your laser hair removal when you undergo treatment of two or more areas.

Get a Body by Thermage

As we get older, we naturally lose the presence of collagen in the skin. Now, using Thermage, you can achieve skin that is both young looking and healthy. Thermage is a completely safe skin rejuvenation procedure sought out by many people looking for a smooth, youthful appearance.

The Thermage device delivers radio frequency energy to the skin to tighten it and stimulate further collagen production. Benefits of Thermage include:

• No incision or scalpel surgery required

• Numerous areas of face and body can be treated

• Return to daily activities is immediate (no recovery)

• No general anesthesia necessary

• Visible improvement (skin tightening) seen after one or two treatments

With these kinds of benefits, many patients choose Thermage as a procedure to obtain the same kind of results a facelift might, but without the need for invasive surgery. This skin rejuvenation procedure is available to those who want skin that is tight, smooth, and youthful. Now through the end of June, receive 10% off the cost of Thermage with the treatment of 1 area and 20% off with the treatment of 2 or more areas.

Please contact us for a consultation or to schedule an appointment to take advantage of our Summer Specials. We are located in Washington, D.C. and look forward to seeing you soon.
