Send me some input......</P> tag:blog.advancedlaserskin.com,2006-07-21:161dc6d7-a7b4-4226-8929-ff3ed1c72f1a n nelson 2006-07-21T19:27:00Z 2006-07-21T19:27:00Z My name is Namrita and I have been working here at Advanced Laser Skin clinics for 3 years.&nbsp; I have always been into skincare and this seemed like a natural path for me to follow.<br> I grew up making my own face masks and&nbsp; giving&nbsp; anyone who I could lay my hands on, a facial! At one point , I had started making full body masks that I applied on myself every night. Cleanup was a nightmare. I used to use Tumeric in the mask - if any of you have used it before, you know it is a real pain to get rid of the bright yellow it leaves behind!<br> Anyhow, I came to America and enrolled in beauty school - Hair something in San Jacinto outside of Houston Tx. I ended up studying business instead because I thought job opportunities that came with a business major would do better for me in India as opposed to a cosmetology degree...<br> I ended up meeting my husband and not going back to India, and I worked in Corporate America for 8 years. I think it was great experience. But I thought it was time to do what I really wanted. I quit in 2003 and have been doing this ever since. I am much happier.<br> I have spent a lot of time studying skin care and laser and practicing it. I actually tried electrolysis and the Q switched YAG on myself before the diode.<br> Electrolysis is a process where you pass an electrical current using a needle into each hair follicle to try and disable it. In my opinion, electrolysis is very dependent on the technician. I had a great Tech in Houston, but then never found anyone as good here in Chicago. Besides laser was out by then.<br> My first experience with laser was with a Q-Switched Yag. Has anyone out there had this? They put carbon on my face and zapped the hair. It was quite an experience. Then I did the Light Sheer . I have had great results with it. I did it about 4 years ago. <br> <br> tag:blog.advancedlaserskin.com,2006-07-14:2b0d5240-55e2-4ebb-9ddc-a1ceacb0c561 n nelson 2006-07-14T19:52:00Z 2006-07-14T19:52:00Z I love laser. That is what I tell everyone I meet. I had tried electrolysis several years ago, but it did not work for me. I think that electrolysis is very dependent on the technician doing the treatment. Needless to say, I probably did not have a very good one. Anyhow, I did laser about 4 years ago - and now I don't even own a tweezer. Its kind of nice!<br>
