Unwanted hair can make us feel unattractive, self conscious and insecure. There are endless options to remove unwanted hair and at Ruberto Salon, we provide a selection of services that are affordable and effective. Most of our clients take advantage of a combination of solutions depending upon the parts of your body, your budget and most importantly, your uniqueness.

Threading:

Administered by Sweeta Goralia, Master Aesthetician, threading is primarily utilized to remove facial hair. Eyebrow shaping is the most popular purpose for facial threading but it’s also ideal for treating the upper lip, chin, side brows and the neck. The advantages are that it’s quite affordable, less time consuming, and less painful. Threading provides zero chance of scarring, and is ideal for those going through hormonal changes because laser therapy is not recommended for such folks.

The inherent disadvantages to threading is that it’s non-permanent and not ideal for other parts of the body.

Waxing:

Waxing is effective for all parts of the body including inner thighs, bikini lines, bellies, backs, chests and legs. Like threading, waxing is affordable, less time consuming than laser and non-permanent with zero chance of scarring. The disadvantages are that it could be painful, result in bleeding in some cases, and depending upon your hair growth rate, require regular maintenance visits.

Laser hair removal has exploded in popularity in the past couple of decades. People prefer this method over more traditional solutions such as shaving, threading and waxing because it’s primarily more permanent. Factor in the improvements in this technology led by Soprano laser treatments, and you have the perfect solution for most people.

For example, laser was known to deliver quite the “ouch” during treatments. However, Soprano machines minimize pain and instead of delivering jolting currents of energy, most Ruberto Salon clients describe the experience as a gentle “warming” sensation with some feeling a very mild pins and needles type of experience. Factor in the new cooling agents devised to minimize pain and maximize safety, you have the perfect solution to removing unwanted hair.

At Ruberto Salon, our Registered Nurse will provide you with a choice of cooling methods including “Contact Cooling”, Cryogenic Spray” or “Air Cooling”. You will also be informed as to the varying levels of wavelengths so that you are comfortable while receiving the ultimate in safety and effectiveness.

You will also be advised as to the different treatment techniques that can feel very different while achieving your goal. Standard machines utilize what’s known as the “shot” method to one focus area which results in more pain and risks. The Soprano, on the other hand, is less painful and less risky because it delivers 10 lower pulses per seconds while the applicator is moved gently back and forth over the treated area.

This process results in a gradual heating of the dermis that effectively damages the hair follicle thereby preventing regrow while avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue.

The disadvantages to any laser solution is that it’s more expensive than shaving, threading or waxing. Typically, you’ll need 6 to 8 treatments for optimum results with potentially more for areas of the face and genitals.

Before we recommend or administer Soprano Laser Hair Removal, we insist on a “patch test” because not all skin types are meant for this option. Even if you have already had treatments elsewhere, we at Ruberto Salon insist that we go through this process to make sure that it is safe and ideal for you.

Ohio State University recently published the results of a study that focused on the proven benefits of “Reiki”, an ancient spiritual healing practice that originated in Japan. Literally meaning “universal life force”, the discipline focuses on healing one’s energy.

In Reiki, healing takes place on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. The focus is on one’s “Chakra” which are meridian points of the mind and souls. As we mature, our energy is inevitably affected from both the outside and from within. Sometimes these imbalances are due to physical ailments. Other times, it’s the result of emotional and spiritual issues that have yet to be resolved.

Examples are relationship issues, work problems, anger at parents, spouse, friends…By transferring Reiki energy into the patient, the practitioner can help heal by eliminating negative energy while maximizing positive life force.

If you’re feeling “drained” or even depressed, you very well could alleviate your condition through Reiki. Life’s all about balance and this proven Japanese discipline is a definitive method of restoring your positive life energy.
