Lasers Hair Removal and Beauty Tips

If you are looking for size reduction through a clinically proven method that requires minimal effort on their part, this article is the one for you. Bader Sultan & Brothers Company, a leading Kuwaiti medical services and supplies company, has announced today the launch of a revolutionary cold laser treatment. This treatment uses a fat reduction technique to help shape the body. The laser is named ZERONA™ which is applied externally and provides results without the dangers associated with surgery.

The high-power, high-heat lasers have been conventionally in various surgical procedures. This new product, Zerona laser, has no thermal effect on the body’s tissue as it produces a low-level, or cold, output. In addition, this non-invasive cold laser helps the body emulsify fat by stimulating biological function. Excess fat is then removed naturally by the body without the negative side effects and downtime associated with more invasive procedures such as liposuction. Patients remain active during the treatment which utilizes the Erchonia.

Steve Shanks, President of Erchonia Medical, praised the product saying, “Our product has undergone extensive research over the last ten years and in 2004 achieved approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use during liposuction. Since 2006 it can be used as a standalone treatment. We know our cold laser can help so many people achieve their goals and contour their bodies with very little effort.”

“I am delighted that my company has signed this agreement with Erchonia Medical and is the first to bring this innovative solution to the Middle East. We are already in the process of establishing relationships with health clinics in the region to make this treatment easily available,” said Mr. Anwar Al Sultan, Chairman of Bader Sultan & Brothers Company. “Dubai Derma is the perfect way to launch the Zerona cold laser here and I am thrilled to have several expert doctors with us to demonstrate the benefits of this solution.”

“This is an amazing medical procedure that will provide relief for so many in our region without the potential hazards associated with invasive surgery and should be considered as an ideal alternative to surgery in select cases,” commented Dr. Ahmed Al Fadli, President of the Kuwait Plastic Surgery Society, Chief of Plastic Surgery in Kuwait, Vice President of the Kuwait Medical Association and the current President of the Pan Arab Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Association. “My clinical trials have demonstrated very positive results so far, with many patients experiencing a 12cms to 20cms reduction in waist and thigh size.”

Dr. Douglas Dedo of the Palm Beach Institute of Cosmetic Surgery and past President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery added: “This revolutionary treatment can work without any kind of surgery or the need for excessive dieting or exercise; though as a doctor I always recommend a healthy lifestyle for my patients. What is also exciting is that clinical studies have revealed that ZERONA™ can help in the treatment of acute and chronic pain relief as well as in controlling cholesterol and triglycerides.”

FAMI (fat auto-graft muscle injection) is unique and very specialized injection. It leads to Adult stem cell growth in vivo using your own stem cells tissue. This technique was first pioneered by Dr Roger Amar. This surgery is non-surgical face-lift surgery. FAMI can avoid the scalpel and rejuvenates all the structures of the face bone, muscles and skin without scars even hidden. This surgery plumps up facial features with the patients those who own fat, and is popularly an alternative to other wrinkle treatments. This can also be used to correct facial deformities. This fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure, designed to re contour your face, and can provide definition to your cheeks and chin.

Fat transfer can also be named as autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection. With this procedure, it is possible to have fat liposuctioned from your thighs, and then transferred to any area of your body. Re injected fat lasts longer in larger areas of non-movement, so it is very successful for the correction of sunken cheeks, because this area does not move as often. However, not every part of the body responds well. Fat transfer can also correct atrophic ageing and facial wrinkles, which are appeared as the underlying collagen and elastic fibers break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part of the natural ageing process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning and smiling.

The procedure is safe. This is how the procedure goes:

1. The fat transfer is performed on an outpatient basis.
2. A small needle is attached to a syringe to remove fat from a donor site. This fat is most tightly packed, such as the abdomen or the buttocks.
3. Once the fat is removed, the procedure carries on with removing excess fluids, and then re-inject to another needle, which is placed under the skin beneath the wrinkle. This process may be repeated until the desired correction has been achieved.
4. Lastly the procedure goes on with harvesting the fat cells for re-injection which is often performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as liposuction, tummy tuck or cosmetic breast surgery. Fat harvested can be stored in “FAT BANK” for future use.

Hair bumps are a direct result of ingrown hairs and come from several things including: improper shaving, waxing, or tweezing techniques, a dirty barber’s blade, dead skin in the hair follicles, and coarse hair that grows in a tight curl pattern. The hairs grow straight, but at the end they curl back into the same hair follicle. The area becomes ugly and often becomes red in color. Razor bumps are nothing more than an inflammatory response from your body to the infections caused by the ingrown hairs. Bumps should be treated soon, because they tend to grow fast. The more you scratch your ingrown bumps, the more abrasions you will have. This condition is known as Pseudofolliculitis barbae. Here are some tips how to eliminate hair bumps.

Exfoliating: This is one way to treat hair bumps. This will help managing ingrown hair and it would only be possible if you use a face scrub that contains glycolic and salicylic acid. The face brush and liquid cleanser removes the tip of ingrown hair, to remove dead skins cells around the area.

Eliminating Lotion: Another fast and effective way to eliminate hair bumps is a bump eliminating lotion or in the from of serum. Both could be used to apply in the effected areas three times a day, for about a week or more. But avoid the product that contains synthetic preservatives.

Shaving: Wash the targeted area thoroughly with an anti-bacterial cleanser to avoid all the trapped dirt, bacteria, oil and debris. To get an easy, smooth shave, without the risk of hair bumps, avoid pulling of hairs at the time of shaving and use a single-blade razor.

Herbal Products: You can go for herbal products that are especially manufactured for the purpose of eliminating hair bumps, such as solutions that contain tea tree oil, neem, aloe vera and essentials oils of herbs.

Hygiene: Hygiene is the key to get rid of hair bumps. You should clean the shaving kit, every time, before using it. Razors and shaving brushes should be washed at least three times a week. At the same time, rinse the shaving kit after every use. Store it properly, in a shaving kit bag.

Planning to get your skin inked? Take a look at this before you jump into tattooing your skin. Pharrell Williams, a well-known sartorial icon for quite some time now, has opted for laser surgery to get his tattoos burnt off. He recently had the tattoos on his arms burned off at the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. Once all the tats are totally removed, Pharell and his doctors will create new skin cells then graft the new tissue to his arms, replacing the tattoos.

In early 2008, he said, “”It’s going to be pricey, but f**k it, it’s worth it. I got fire on my arms! I’m a grown man! There’s an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. It’s basically like getting a skin graft, but you’re not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you.”

“Laser treatment b**ches! Extra crispy. See, no skin graft here, just pure laser pain,” Pharrell added. “This is our own version of Mythbusters! Laser is the new primer.”

So, welcome to the world of cosmetic surgery where it is not the pinch in the pocket which counts, but how far you can go to get what you want!!

It was only after 1990’s that the new concept of UV index was studied in an effort to halt the epidemic of skin cancer, which is increased by the sun exposure. UV rays have become an increasing concern these days. The scorching heat contributes to cataracts and lots of eye problems. So the index has intended some precautions, such as wearing sunscreen, hat and sunglasses for extra protection especially during summers, when the sun is most intense. Parents should be more cautious for their kids, as because by age 18 on average, people have been exposed to 80% of UV. Children hang around more, and thus the damage is cumulative, and the ill effect usually doesn’t appear for decades.

The index is measured as per the satellites measurement, the data is obtained in meters across the country. The index reports about the UV rays and its strength at noon in various locations nationwide. The index value has equally corresponding exposure levels, and its ranges from 0 to 15. It is minimal from 0-2, low 3-4, moderate 5-6, high 7-10 and lastly its very high when its above 10. The index takes consideration the effect of ozone depletion, which increases UV levels as well as clouds, haze, and pollution, which block some (but not all) UV rays. So the report is fair-skinned person would burn in less than 13 minutes, comparatively with the dark-skinned persons. Darker skinned person can tolerate higher exposure.

The difference between UVB rays and UVA rays varies. The one which causes a variety in sunburn and which varies in  intensity during various season of the year is UVB rays. Whereas UVA rays is constant throughout the year, and can damage the skin whether its sunny or cloudy. So the safest course is to use a sunscreen every day that is at least SPF 15 and contains zinc oxide, which will protect the skin from further damage.

It has been the bane of every woman’s existence — the unsightly affliction we all know as cellulite. Many women have it in varying degrees, and unfortunately it appears to get worse with age. There are several ways to fight with and get rid of Cellulite. It is not just a problem affecting obese or overweight women. Average size and even thin women suffer from cellulite as well. It has been surveyed that 85% of all women have cellulite somewhere on their bodies. So to get rid of it, the best way is Cellulite-Laser treatment. The word Laser invokes in our mind a thought of a red hot beam burning our skin in an invasive and painful procedure, that also costs us a fortune but only banishes cellulite for a matter of weeks. But Laser treatment can undoubtedly be effective for a temporary fix. However, technology has developed much since the first laser cellulite cures were introduced. The main cause of cellulite is that the skin stem cells become weakened and lie dormant. The skin has the largest reservoir of stem cells in the human body. After the age of 22, your skin stem cells weaken and become sluggish, regenerating at a much slower pace. As skin regeneration slows, our fat cells become engorged and toxins get trapped creating the embarrassing and unsightly “orange peel” effect on the surface of the skin, also known as cellulite, which is easily curable. Some of the benefits of the use of laser in cellulite treatment includes:

1. Tightens and repairs dammed tissues.

2. It betters the blood circulation of the body.

3. Minimal damage without any burning sensation.

4. Flushes out the toxins and improves system in the area.

Microdermabrasion is mechanical ex-foliation that removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face, chest and hands. It is a non-invasive epidermal treatment that removes the dead and damaged surface layer of skin cells to reveal healthier new skin cells underneath. This procedure removes the stratum corneum, which is the dead section of your skin. Afterwards, the removed skin is vacuumed off, leaving the skin felling fresh and glow. The purpose of this procedure is to remove skin that has been damaged by sun overexposure, eliminating dark spots, lessening scars and the best of all for the treatment of acne. In this procedure the surface of the skin is removed using a technique called abrasion or with the use of a laser. This procedure is very painful and requires anesthesia, it can be uncomfortable around the sensitive tissue of the mouth and nose. It is done for those cases in which the skin has been badly damage by the sun, or for removing deep scars.

Microdermabrasion is also known as particle resurfacing, power peel, dermal-peel or Parisian peel. It takes about 20-30 minutes and there’s no down-time for the skin to recover. That’s why it’s also sometimes called a “lunchtime peel.” You should be cautious when you go through this process.

1. Choose the best doctor, and the perfect trainer for this treatment. It is the matter of your skin, and the result depends on their expertise.

2. Make sure all traces of the aluminum dioxide is removed from your skin.

3. Apply sunscreen and stay out of the sun after your treatment, for protection.

4. Microdermabrasion is not recommended for sensitive skin or skin that easily reddens.

The brain is a soft, spongy mass of tissue. It is protected by the bones of the skull and three thin membranes called meninges. Watery fluid called cerebrospinal fluid cushions the brain. This fluid flows through spaces between the meninges and through spaces within the brain called ventricles. Now, a Shreveport neurosurgeon has taken brain surgery for the removal of tumors to a whole new level, finding a way to obliterate a tumor, with much less risk. A Louisiana woman was the first patient in the U.S. to have the procedure done.

In this new procedure Shreveport neurosurgeon had to open her skull to remove that tumor.  It’s the kind of surgery that leaves a big scar and comes with serious risks and a longer recovery time. But by the time another tumor appeared last fall, Dr. Patwardhan had a new tool to try: a laser probe, and he was looking for a patient willing to be the first. In this procedure, one just had to make a hole that will take to the middle of the tumor, burn the tumor and then the tumor will essentially evaporate. It involves making a small opening and going in and burning it. The other alternative was open operation.

This procedure leaves behind a small pinpoint incision, comparable to that size of the tip of a pencil. In addition to avoiding the risks related to anesthesia, the laser ablation probe is thin and slides through the brain with much less disturbance. It allows the surgeon to reach even deep tumors with far less risk, like the brain swelling that comes with conventional procedures.

Karen Mowad was able to stay awake through the procedure, and felt no significant discomfort. Since Mowad became the first patient in North America to undergo the procedure, several others have followed. For now, Dr. Patwardhan says they’re reserving the laser treatment for brain tumors as a last resort, as long as patients’ conditions meet certain criteria. It’s restricted for tumors where you can go into them, which are tumors that are not extraordinarily hard, but there are quite a few tumors that are amenable to this treatment.
