Shaving, tweezing, and even waxing can take a tool on your skin, especially when you do so repeatedly. If you are tired of having to shave multiple times a week only to have unwanted hair come back a few blinks later, laser hair removal might by a good option to consider. One of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures, laser hair removal uses an intense, pulsating light beam on the hair follicles, destroying/damaging it from the intense heat so as to inhibit future hair growth. It is an ideal procedure for people with light skin and dark hair. Laser hair removal slows hair growth, but it will not guarantee permanent removal of hair. It also takes several laser hair removal sessions along with periodic maintenance treatments to achieve extended hair-free periods. This treatment effectively reduces unwanted hair on the legs, upper lip, the underarms, chin, and bikini line. While these are the most common treatment locations for laser hair removal, it is also possible to hav...

People have been searching for the fountain of youth for ages and with new technologies and sciences emerging, it seems that people are getting ever closer to staying or at least looking as young as they could for the longest possible time. While there is yet to be a perfect elixir to help people stay young and vibrant, there have been many recent breakthroughs and advances in anti-aging skin care that are worth paying attention to, among which is Fractional CO2 laser skin treatments or skin resurfacing. Carbon Dioxide Fractional laser skin resurfacing is a treatment that combines the effectiveness of carbon dioxide lasers (which have been long believed to be the gold standard when it comes to wrinkle removal) with a new application technique (fractional laser resurfacing), promising powerful side effects while avoiding harsh side effects. Specialists say that with fractional CO2 laser resurfacing , you are getting all the benefits of laser resurfacing without the long dow...

Acne scars do not have to leave permanent marks on your skin. There are laser treatments that can help reduce their appearance or completely eliminate them, depending on the severity of the scarring. Acne scar laser treatment is an option to consider when scarring does not fade on its own. Dermatologists who are certified to use laser equipment and provide acne scar laser treatment should be the ones to perform this procedure on you. This way, you can be sure that it is safe and that the right type of laser is correctly used on your skin. Acne scar laser treatment is safe when properly administered. Laser skin resurfacing uses fractionated laser technology to encourage new collagen to form and to even out the surface of the skin. Collagen is an important building block for the skin, as it is a protein that can renew its appearance and help fill in the scars. Hence, it is commonly used for treating wrinkles and fine lines, too. Some dermatologists may use ablative lasers to ...

CO2 laser treatment is one of the most innovative solutions for a wide range of cosmetic and dermatological skin conditions. It was initially used as an anti-aging solution to minimize the appearance and prominence of wrinkles and lines to achieve smoother skin. It is ideal for removing acne scars, too. One of the benefits of CO2 laser is the increased comfort during treatment. It is preferred for the minimal post-treatment maintenance and care, too. CO2 laser treatments ensure excellent results to rejuvenate the skin and correct the pigmentation caused by scarring from all kinds of acne. The treatment works by creating deep and narrow columns of areas in treated tissue, which surrounds the untreated and healthy tissue. It encourages the natural healing process of the skin to create healthy and new tissue to replace the affected tissues, leading to the improvement of the skin condition. CO2 laser treatment is safe as it uses fractional ablative lasers to regrow damaged or missi...

Some types of hair loss are referred to as 'effluvium' or an outflow. When you have effluvium, it affects the different parts of the hair's growth cycle. Telogen effluvium is another commonly diagnosed reason for hair loss, but very little research has been done to understand it. The condition occurs when there is a change in the amount of hair follicles that can grow hair. When the number of active hair follicles significantly drops during a telogen phase, hair follicles in the dormant telogen phase will increase in number, resulting in hair loss and shedding . Understanding Hair Growth Cycles The scalp's hair follicles do not continuously grow hair. They go through growth stages that can last for at least two years, but can go on for more before regressing to a resting stage, which can be up to two months. A healthy human scalp has 80 to 90 percent of hair follicles that are at the anagen phase, which means that they can grow hair. The 10 to 20 percent ...

Radiofrequency can be effective in treating shallow acne scars. This treatment method uses fractional radiofrequency to stimulate dermal collage and encourage the skin to rejuvenate. RF therapy uses radio wave beams to heat the subcutaneous tissue. The high frequency radio waves are at 5MHz and the tissues in the targeted area absorbs them. Most systems have a built-in coolant to spray the treated area with cold gas. This way, the surface does not have to heat to a similar degree as the internal tissue. Radiofrequency therapy may have two effects on pimples. First, the increased temperature works to kill the bacteria in the acne to minimise inflammation. Second, RF may decrease the activity and size of sebaceous glands to reduce the production sebum, which is one of the causes of acne. RF therapy has been studied for efficacy in treating acne and researchers found significant improvements in patients who have used it to get rid of pimples. However, it is noteworthy to consid...
