Lasers Hair Removal and Beauty Tips

Plastic surgeons have condemned the latest series of reality
television show Cosmetic Surgery Live as "highly unethical". Cult TV
programmes showing operations and plastic surgery "makeovers" are
fuelling an increasing demand for procedures, they warn.

Vulnerable patients, especially young women, are beginning to see
plastic surgery as a normal step beyond the beauty salon. But expert
surgeons, many of whom have been approached to take part in the TV
programmes and refused, say cosmetic surgery is still invasive and
risky and patients should not consider it lightly.

British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) president
Adam Searle said: "I am appalled at the voyeuristic and pornographic
extravaganza of the new series of Cosmetic Surgery Live, and condemn-it
utterly. The show does not portray the ‘real world’ of plastic surgery,
and in fact does a disservice to thousands of patients who benefit from
cosmetic procedures. "When it comes to health issues presented on
television, public education and safety should come before
entertainment."

Recently lasers have also been designed to perform Tattoo removal
effectively. Laser devices suitable for tattoo removal range from
single wavelength of light to broad light spectrums. These lasers
target ink contained in the tattoo without damaging near by skin. Light
rays of certain wavelengths are absorbed by specific colors of tattoo
ink. When particular laser rays comes in contact with ink particles the
light energy vaporizes the ink in the tattoo. Our body then absorbs
these ink fragments. The tattoo color fades away after some weeks of
the treatment. This laser treatment to remove tattoo’s is similar to
what was being done since years to treat birthmarks.

The method is the safest and quickest technique to attain removal of
tattoo. The best advantage of laser therapy is that it leaves skin
intact after treatment while other treatment options like surgical
excision, chemical peel or traditional dermabrasion cause severe skin
damage during the process. Not only these treatments cause skin
incisions but can also result in serious scarring.

Dr. Greenberg has years of experience with this technology and has
lectured extensively on its use. Our laser hair removal treatment has
demonstrated approximately 70%-80% suppression of hair growth lasting
3-12 months after 3-5 treatments, some of which may be permanent.
Results depend on skin type, hair color and location.

Lasers have been used for many years in surgery and recently have
found a niche for removal of unwanted hair. The ease of use,
adaptability to most skin types, low incidence of complications,
patients’ desires to avoid more painful alternatives and high patient
satisfaction have made laser hair removal a viable option for both men
and women. Dr. Greenberg is pleased to offer the latest technology for
the removal of unwanted hair.
