PWTV - Sclerotherapy Leg Vein Treatment

Informational video on this cosmetic procedure presented by Peter Helton, DO of the Helton Skin and Laser Institute. Sclerotherapy is a highly successful treatment of spider and varicose veins. During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a very fine needle. A flushing of the vein occurs and then over a 4-6 week period the vein gradually disappears. Sclerotherapy has been amazingly free of side effects. There is a very low incidence of hyper-pigmentation of the skin at the site of the injection or at the site of the vein being treated. This pigmentation usually disappears over a period of time. Occasionally a small skin ulcer can appear at the sits of injection; however, this also will resolve over a period of time. It is possible to experience slight brusing at the sites of the injections. Produced by Patiently Waiting TV in association with Spore Media

Laser Hair Removal: Before And After Your Treatments

When you've finally had enough of the shaving, tweezing, and waxing needed to free yourself of unwanted hair, you may be ready to investigate laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is a highly effective way to eliminate unwanted facial, arm or leg, and bikini line hair--in fact, it can be used ron almost any part of the body. While laser hair removal does not promise permanent results, it does keep the unwanted hair from returning for periods ranging from months to years.

If you are contemplating this treatment, educate yourself on the lase hair removal before and after steps you should take to ensure the best outcome. The first thing you should do is consult with a doctor knowledgeable in treating excess hair to determine if laser removal is an option for you.

You will have to give your doctor a complete picture of your medical history, past and present, including the names of any medicines you are using. Certain medications will limit the effectiveness of the laser hair removal procedure and may even lead to harmful health complications.

The doctor who is to perform your laser hair removal will make a photographic record or the area from which you want hair removed. Laser hair removal before and after pictures are great aids both for evaluating what a patient needs prior to the procedure and for judging the long-term results.

Pre-treatment

There are laser hair removal before and after safety measures you need to follow if you want to limit the risks associated with the procedure. Stay out of the sun prior to and following your treatments if you want to escape skin discoloring and blisters. Start protecting yourself with a sun block a week before you begin treatment and continue doing so for several weeks following it.

About two weeks before you are scheduled for a laser hair removal treatment [http://www.bestlaserhairremovaltreatment.com/Information_On_Laser_Hair_Removal/], stop bleaching or tweezing your unwanted hairs. For up to three weeks after a laser treatment, you will experience the old hairs in the follicles you had treated coming to the surface of your skin. You may mistake them for new hair and be tempted to tweeze or bleach them, but they will actually drop off if you scrub them lightly with a wash cloth.

Post-treatment

You can relieve any skin bumps or redness you experience following a treatment with a cold compress.

These laser hair removal before and after tips will ensure that you minimize your risks for complications. While laser hair removal has proven safe, it is still a medical procedure, and as such, has risks involved. Your best chance of avoiding any of the potential problems is to follow your doctor's recommendations on laser hair removal before and after you undergo your treatments.

Permanent Hair Removal - Laser Vs Electrolysis

Laser and electrolysis treatments are both considered permanent hair removal options. So how do these 2 types of treatment compare against each other?

Laser hair removal systems were indeed amazing when they were first introduced to the public. It became popular and attracted a lot of people to try and remove their unwanted body hair. This treatment is particularly effective for large parts of the body such as the chest, back and legs, as it is a relatively speedy procedure.

However, there are factors to consider if a patient feels like running through the laser hair removal process. The most commonly considered problem above all is the price that a single treatment will cost a patient. It is the most expensive way to remove body hairs so, to some people, the treatment may not even be an option. To make matters worse, laser hair removal treatments often require more than one session, which will cost the patient even more and this may not be realistically affordable to some people.

Electrolysis, on the other hand, is a time consuming operation and this can make it as equally expensive for treating large areas of the body. This is because the process requires concentration on the hair follicle one by one. This causes the electrolysis treatment to take a long time to complete. It too, usually requires several sessions for permanent results. However, for smaller areas of the body, electrolysis is a lower cost and much more affordable treatment than laser.

In deciding whether to try laser or electrolysis for hair removal, the duration that the treatment will take may be important and they do have big differences. The following provides an indication of these durations:

Laser hair removal
Bikini line - 8 to 10 minutes
Chin - 2 to 3 minutes
Upper lip - 0 to 1 minutes
Under arms - 1 to 2 minutesElectrolysis
Bikini line - 8 to 16 hours
Chin - 2 to 12 hours
Upper lip - 4 to 10 hours
Under arms - 4 to 12 hoursAnother downside to laser hair removal is that some methods used for the treatment work for some skin types while they do not work with the others. It is particularly effective on dark hair with light skin, but not so great for either dark skin people or those with light hair. There is also a risk of complications after such treatment.

Electrolysis however, can be used on any hair colours and skin types, and has a long and proven track record of success. This is because each hair follicle must be treated individually and in the same way.

Both procedures can be painful for patients. Electrolysis requires an electrical charge in the skin from a probe, and a laser can cause heat and burn damage.

So ultimately, the choice between taking a course of laser or electrolysis sessions may come down to the individual's funds, the amount of time they are prepared to spend under treatment, the area of the body they wish to treat, and their hair colour and skin type.

Laser Hair Removal Tips - Beginner's Guide

Laser hair removal is the process where a doctor or practitioner apply a low-energy laser to the skin where your hair follicles are located. This laser targets the dark pigment or melanin in the hair and causes the hair follicles to go into a resting or telegen phase. After several treatments, the hair doesn't grow back. In most cases, the reduction in hair regrowth is not permanent because you still need to come in for maintenance treatments every year or so to keep the results.

There are certain things that you should definitely consider when you go in to have laser hair removal done. The most obvious is whether or not you are a good candidate for this procedure. The best candidate is a light skinned dark haired individual. The worst candidate for laser removal is a dark skinned or light haired individual. Why? Because the laser has a hard time distinguishing between the hair and skin when those conditions exist.

If you are one of those individuals, then you will have to spend extra time searching for a highly-skilled professional that can achieve the results despite your physical conditions. If you can't find anyone, you might consider an alternate procedure that is called electrolysis. That can be effective for the face and other easy to reach areas.

You should know that there are lots of different shapes and sizes of lasers. The best clinics have multiple lasers to fit individual needs best. Some lasers even have different wavelengths of light that they emit which changes their effectiveness on different types of people.

The Inside Scoop on Laser Hair Removal on the Vagina

Is Brazilian laser hair removal harmless? The answer is yes, assuming you are treated by a professional laser hair removal clinic. It is often significantly less painful than bikini waxing.

One inconvenience associated with Brazilian laser hair removal is that several treatments are needed in order to obtain a satisfactory and permanent end result. 6-9 sessions is usual, but this can vary depending on your skin and hair type. With the use of a combination of externally-applied and oral pain relief, you should see that it is a more or less pain-free experience.

What's The Big Deal With Vaginal Hair Removal?
Hair removal along the bikini line or above the vagina is different from removing hair along the sides of the vagina. This is due to the fact that the area directly around the vagina has uneven surfaces due to the location of your clitoris, labia and the general opening of the vagina. Anything sharp used for removing hair in this region would be risky because it may cause cuts very easily. You want to avoid cuts in this region in case they get infected and you don't want to be in a position to visit a medical practitioner because of an infected vagina as it might be most embarrassing.

Selecting the Correct Tools For Vaginal Hair Removal
Many individuals employ and recommend a simple pair of tweezers to tweeze out any strands of hair on the genitals and a specially designed shaving device designed for genitals to complete the job. This method is relatively pain-free, and will give you smooth and sexy end results without the uncomfortable vagina bumps that traditional shaving blades may leave you with. You can do this in the privacy of your own home at the fraction of the price compared to other hair removal methods.

Are Razors OK for Vaginal Hair Removal?
Traditional shaving blades and electric shaving devices that were not specially designed for the pubic region are unsuitable for hair removal on the bikini area. They cannot give you a close shave, may result in cuts and even painfully ingrowing pubic hair. That is why it is not a good idea to use leg shavers, facial shavers and other non-pubic region specific shavers to remove pubic hair. If you are willing to endure the pain of bikini waxing, you may use that as a means to remove the unsightly pubic region hair.

Conclusion
For temporary hair removal in the pubic region, a specially designed shaving device is the ideal solution, while for permanent hair removal you should consider Laser Hair Removal On The Vagina.

Laser Hair Removal And Its Effect On Tattoos

Can you get laser hair removal, without effecting a tattoo? After being asked this question numerous times by friends, and family I sought to search out the answer. I asked a few laser hair technicians, and tattoo artist alike but none seemed to have the answer. If you are a technician, or tattoo artist I would suggest educating yourself on the effects of laser hair removal.

After rigorous research, I have found many cases of people who have had laser hair removal preformed. Most cases were caused by a slip up of the technicians preforming the laser hair removal "slipping", or being careless. The results were often the same, a puss-filled blister covering the area that had been crossed by the laser. In some cases, infection was almost immediate , and had to be treated in the emergency room?

They have reported, that after the painful blister had healed, the tattoo was either considerably faded or disfigured. There are many problems that can arise from this, infection being the main concern. It can also cause significant scarring.

So, my only suggestion would to seek laser hair removal prior to getting your tattoos. If you do, indeed end up with scarring from your treatment you will need to check with your artist. Most artists will not tattoo over fresh scars, and depending on your own body's healing it may take years for the scar to flatten enough before it is able to accept pigment.

If you are still considering getting laser hair removal around your tattoo, protecting yourself with knowledge is the key. Read the fine print in any contract you are requested to sign, if it includes anything to the nature of "not responsible for damaged tattoos" I would then search for another company. If laser hair removal goes wrong, it can not only damage your tattoo but cost you time, and possible thousands of dollars to repair.

Though, there is one option that you do have. Though it can be expensive, and tedious Electrolysis is the only proven hair removal method that will not have an adverse effect on your tattoo.

Hair Laser Removal Equipment

Some home laser hair removal devices continue to be marketed but the majority of these are simply not powerful enough to result in the desired long-term reduction of hairs that can be successfully achieved using professional lasers for hair removal.

Laser and light-based hair removal is performed professionally by applying a very concentrated beam of light with a specific wavelength to the skin. In an ideal scenario the laser passes harmlessly through the skin without causing burning, and the energy of the laser is absorbed by the hairs' roots (or "follicles" as they are properly called), which are then disabled or destroyed.

Because the energy is absorbed by the dark pigment called melanin, these technologies work best on patients with light skin and dark hairs. However, new technology has now enabled the creation of laser hair removal products which can be used safely on patients with darker skin, or patients who have a tan.

The commonest types of machines are Alexandrite lasers, Diode lasers, Nd:YAG lasers (Neodymium YAG) and finally the IPL or "Intense Pulsed Light" systems which are not lasers in the strictest sense of the word.

If you are planning to have laser hair removal treatment then it is important to understand about these different types of machines so that you can be aware which ones are the most suited to your own personal skin type. Very often a clinic will use only one kind of machine, and so you may need to shop around until you find a clinic which uses the best laser for your skin.

As a customer, it's crucial that you are knowledgeable about the different kinds of laser hair removal machines and what their chief uses are. Some laser hair removal machines are better for customers with a particular skin type, so it's important to do your homework to help you ascertain which variety is best for you.

Skin Care Treatments - Fotofacial Skin Rejuvenation

Seeking to remove dark marks, age spots, scars, freckles, and other unwanted marks on the skin can be as simple as visiting a dermatologist and discussing what options will work best for the skin type in question, as well as the condition. There are a number of treatment options for those who wish to alter the appearance of their skin.

Dermatologists are using FotoFacial light technology to alter the appearance of skin on various parts of the body. The face and upper chest area are most often treated to remove all sorts of dark spots on the skin. Ipl FotoFacial therapy involves the use of intense light to lighten the skin gradually where there may be unwanted imperfections. The treatment generally must be repeated a few times to achieve the desired results. The treatment is highly effective however and many are seeking out ways to alter the appearance of their skin without surgery or topical creams. The treatment involves minimally invasive therapy for skin which has been ravaged by life, whether the skin damage be related to the sun or other elements. Likewise, certain hereditary traits, such as a tendency to develop dark sun spots, age spots and freckles are also removable with the light.

It is important to explore any benefits and risks associated with a treatment so that patients are fully informed of the treatment they are seeking out. In this way, ipl FotoFacial treatments can be even more rewarding if they are approached with eyes wide open. There are some risks associated with the treatment, and the skin is affected differently for each person of course. These risks ought to be discussed with a professional dermatologist who can answer any questions associated with the treatment option. Furthermore, the treatment is gradual in nature and so one minor inconvenience associated with it is having repeat treatments. However, this may also be viewed as an advantage since there is less of healing period involved and most patients enjoy the minimally invasive techniques. No surgery or incisions are required for the procedure to gradually work.

Patients may also notice an alteration in the severity of wrinkles or fine lines since FotoFacial therapy encourages the development of newer collagen and helps the skin to shed older skin layers of the epidermis. Thus the treatments can effectively treat various types of skin disorders and this can be discussed with a dermatologist. Understanding whether the treatment will alter the appearance of a certain imperfection that a patient may wish to have removed is an important step toward finding the right solution. Overall, FotoFacial treatments are an excellent way to alter the skin's appearance while improving its overall texture and radiance. The light helps to improve its tone, its coloration, and its overall evenness. This tends to be exactly what patients are looking for in a treatment procedure meant to improve the appearance of the skin. By asking plenty of questions and understanding what is involved, patients guarantee an even more satisfactory treatment experience.

The Best Available Photo Rejuvenation Technology and Laser Skin Rejuvenation

The LimeLight is a fantastic system for photo rejuvenation. Photo rejuvenation is an effective procedure in treating any red and brown discolorations in the skin. Red discolorations may take the form of rosacea/diffused redness and facial telangiectasia. Brown discolorations include sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. These types of skin conditions are often brought upon by sun exposure or sun damage, trauma to the skin, excessive heat or cold, genetics, aging etc. Photo rejuvenation also helps to prevent aging by stimulating the skin to rejuvenate and regenerate itself leaving the skin vibrant and smooth.

A 1064nm laser (Nd Yag) is used to rejuvenate and regenerate the skin at the micro-vascular level. It is a non-ablative procedure for treating enlarged pores, scarring (improving texture and tone), fine lines, and diffused redness. Laser genesis is considered the most important discovery in skin rejuvenation since photo rejuvenation. Unlike photo rejuvenation, laser genesis builds heat in the dermal papillary layer of the skin. This heat then stimulates the collagen and elastin to re-model and re-build, evening out the skin tone and smoothing out the skin. It is important to mention that not all Nd Yag laser systems are equal. One of the only true Nd Yag systems for skin rejuvenation available is the Laser Genesis system which is specifically designed and approved for laser skin rejuvenation. Both of these procedures are very useful and very accurate in the process of rejuvenating your health, age and beauty through the use of cosmetic surgery, or laser surgery.

Facial Refreshers - Options for Skin Rejuvenation and Resurfacing

Have you lost the charm on your face? Does your skin look dull and unattractive? Do not worry because plastic surgery has a solution for it. Microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing are two different facial techniques that can often be performed in the comfort and convenience of a local spa by a trained beautician. You can easily drive yourself to appointments and the recovery period is significantly shorter and less painful. If drugstore potions aren't doing the trick, either microdermabrasion or laser skin resurfacing could be your solution.

A popular spa treatment for facial blemishes, mild sun damage, acne, and minor age spots is microdermabrasion. The process involves massaging the skin with a wand-like instrument which contains a pad of organic particles and zinc oxide, similar to the consistency of fine sandpaper. The rough surface removes the topmost layer of skin through abrasion. By removing this layer, superficial skin problems will disappear with it. The microdermabrasion process reveals the new, fresh skin cells beneath, allowing facial products to penetrate more easily and will ultimately work more effectively.

Recovery from microdermabrasion is simple. Depending on how sensitive your skin is, it may remain red and tender for a few hours afterwards, but this will completely dissipate by the next morning and can easily be covered by makeup. Microdermabrasion is most effective when you receive repeated treatments. If getting to a spa regularly is difficult, there are also machines and abrasive creams available for use in home.

For a more intense facial treatment, laser skin resurfacing treats a wider range of problems from scars and spider veins to wrinkles and severe acne. There are different kinds of lasers used in the process depending on what problem and area is being treated, but in general they all work the same. Beams of light pulsate across the skin surface, removing the damaged layers of skin. Just like microdermabrasion, the new layer of skin will be revealed. It is also a fairly quick "lunchtime" procedure. Sessions last between thirty minutes to two hours and patients are usually able to care for themselves adequately during the recovery period.

Laser skin resurfacing does involve a recovery process which may keep you out of work for a while. Your face will have to be dressed for a few days and then Vaseline will be applied over the area for up to twenty days, protecting the new skin cells. Skin can remain red and raw looking for two to six months afterwards, and as with many skin rejuvenation treatments, repeated visits provide the best results. During the healing process, your skin might begin to peel and will feel dry, similar to the effects of a sunburn.

If you weren't born with the perfect skin and are looking to get rid your complexion damage by blemishes and sun, microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing are two cosmetic treatments that can help. With repeated visits and a solid home skincare regime, you can achieve a healthy glow that otherwise wouldn't be possible with face wash and creams alone.
