HAIR REMOVAL USING LASERS

Hair Removal using Lasers

Ancient history itself suggests many treatments for the removal of unwanted hair on the body. It is said that body hair is a sign of manhood. However, there are several cases in which it is seen that people do not like hair on their body and wish to remove them permanently. There are also various career opportunities, which demand the removal of body hair, such as modeling. Although there are several hair removal techniques used all over the planet, one of the most effective methods is the use of lasers.

The Science behind Laser Hair Removal Method

Melanin, the dark matter in the hair follicles, is targeted by lasers during the treatment. The laser beam damages the melanin content, whereas, it doesn't affect the rest of the skin. The energy produced by the laser beam is absorbed by melanin with great intensity and thus gets damaged after some time. The laser light is converted into heat after it gets absorbed in the skin. This heat damages the hair follicles, which prevents hair from growing further.

Types of Laser Used & Number of Sittings Needed

Depending upon the hair growth on your body, the best suited laser machines are used for the treatment. Unlike popular beliefs, laser hair treatment does not show results in one sitting. You have to visit multiple times in order to get proper results. The number of sittings required would depend on the level of rigidity of the hair. Both males and females can opt for laser hair treatment. For males, the more common areas include chest hair, back hair and beards. On the other hand, for females the entire body treatment is possible. Laser hair treatment can easily help you get rid of unwanted hair from various parts of your body. Most patients require 6-8 sittings but might need more if they have associated problems; specific areas are like upper lip, side locks, chin, under arms can be treated in females.

Benefits of laser hair removal include

1) Accuracy: Lasers help us choose dark, coarse hairs or specific areas while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. 
2) Instantaneous: Each beam of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at a single time. Small areas, for instance an upper lip could be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, for instance, the back or legs, could be done within an hour.

An average of 6 to 7 sessions are essential for good results.

 

MEDI-FACIALS

Medi-Facials

You must have visited a parlour more than once in your lifetime for a facial and various other body treatments. How often have you got the results you were hoping to get after the facial? The main motive behind a facial is to get a radiant and firm skin with reduced signs of aging. Opt for a medi-facial and get the results you wanted all these days.

When it comes to medical facial, there are various benefits of such facials. Here are a few for your knowledge.

Rehydration of Your Skin

With age the hydration level of the facial skin diminishes. With the help of moisture injection, together with glycerol, essential vitamins, and hyaluronic acid in the skin, the lost hydration level of the skin can be replenished and also retained for many days.

Rejuvenation

Medical facial also helps to rejuvenate the facial skin and help it to get restored and improve the appearance of the entire face.

Resurfacing

Facial skin is said to be much thinner than the overall body skin. As a result of this, it tends to get injured more often than you can imagine. With the help of medical facial, the new skin generation process is accelerated. The treatment is based upon the different types of injuries on your skin.

Many of you may not be aware of medical facials. If you wish to go for these treatments, better speak to a certified and experienced doctor about the same. They can guide you in the right direction and also explain the benefits of the entire medical facial process to simplify your decision.

BOTOX AND FILLERS

BOTOX and Fillers

Botulinum Toxin (BTX-A) is a neurotoxin that is produced by bacteria Clostridium botulinum.It is the most potent toxin in the world, but when given in micro quantities we can use the neuro-paralytic action of the toxin to medicinal use and achieve the desired benefits.It has wide applications in cosmetic surgery.It is used as paralyzing agent when injected into particular ares of the muscle and can relieve that unwanted spasm to give you a brighter and more younger look. BTX-A can make the fine muscles weak around the eyes, forehead, perioral lines, bunny lines, neck lift and in glabellar areas. This leads to reduction/elimination of forehead creases, frown lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet. BTX-A is even used as sweat reduction agent.

BOTOX-A Treatment

BTX-A is one of the latest cosmetic procedures. It had been used for several years for treating the patients complaining about spasmodic contractions of facial or eye muscles. The treatment involves multiple injections using very fine needles with anaesthetic cream or ice to numb the area. The effects appear in few days and last for about 4-6 months. The injections need to be repeated for long lasting results.
BTX-A surgery is safe, but some people might face minor bruising after the procedure that could be easily covered with makeup.

After-Care

After care is really necessary after any type of surgery and so is the case with BTX-A surgery too. The head need to be elevated for more than 4 hours after the surgery. Make sure that you don't lie down after the procedure. Anesthetic creams or ice application will help in reducing the swelling or bruising after the surgery. You can apply mascara after the hour. The best results will be in a week time.
If you are looking for BTX-A treatment, then you landed in the right place where you can receive consultation from experts in the specific area.

HAIR CARE TREATMENTS

Hair Care Treatments

Hair has always acquired a great deal of social and cultural importance. Hair loss, a condition also known as alopecia, generally refers to the loss of hair from any part of the hair bearing area of the body, like the scalp, eyebrows, beard or all over the body.

What Are Types Of Hair Loss?

Normal hair growth cycles last anywhere from 2-7 years. However, forms of hair loss are characterized by shorter hair growth cycles such as in androgenic alopecia.

 A normal human growth cycle consists of 3 phases as:

1. Anagen phase (main growing stage).

2. Catagen phase (resting stage).

3. Telogen phase (shedding off stage).

When telogen phase ends, old hair gets replaced with a new hair from the same follicle. Normally a person sheds about 50-100 hair strands per day, but it is not noticeable. However, with the gradual increase in thinning of hair, hair loss becomes prominent.

 What Are the Treatments Available?

1) Medications can be administered to prevent further hair loss for example minoxidil, Finasteride, flutamide etc. depending on the cause of the hair fall.

2) Hair supplements in case of nutritional deficiency

3) Hormone correction if required, for example in cases associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Are any of the treatments permanent?

All treatments including transplants come with a shelf life especially in Androgenetic alopecia and maintenance is the norm.

What are different strategies to prevent hair loss?

1) Healthy eating habits

2) Iron and protein rich diet,

3) Regular exercise

4) Avoiding medications and chemicals that are likely to cause hair loss

5) Stress management.

6) Using the right products on the hair and limited hair styling treatments.

TREATMENT FOR VITILOGO

Treatment for Vitilogo

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition of the skin, resulting in patches of skin where skin has lost its pigmentation. It usually begins in childhood, with most cases starting before age 25. Up to 1% of the general population has vitiligo. Family members of patients with vitiligo have a higher incidence of vitiligo, autoimmune thyroid disease and autoimmune alopecia (hair loss).

There are several patterns of vitiligo, but involvement is usually symmetrical. Commonly affected body areas are the face, upper chest, backs of the hands, underarms and groin. Vitiligo also tends to occur around the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, as well as areas that are commonly traumatized (elbows, knees).

Does vitiligo negatively affect my general health?

Though vitiligo is considered to be an autoimmune disease, it generally does not affect a person`s general health. Uncommonly, vitiligo is associated with eye abnormalities. Vitiligo may also uncommonly be associated with other autoimmune disorders including diabetes, thyroid disease, dysfunction of the adrenal gland and a form of autoimmune hair loss called alopecia areata.

Are there other causes of vitiligo?

Occupational exposure to chemicals including thiols, phenolic compounds, catechols, mercaptoamines and quinines can produce occupational vitiligo. For example, individuals whose jobs require them to wear rubber garments and gloves containing monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone may develop white patches of skin at sites of contact with the chemical.

How is vitiligo treated?

Medical strategies include:

·       Topical corticosteroids

·       Tacrolimus ointment (non-steroid ointment)

·       Calcipotriene (vitamin D-based treatment)

·       Narrow-band ultraviolet B light

·       8-MOP (photosensitizer) with ultraviolet A light

·       Surgical options (e.g. grafting)

Because the major concern of vitiligo is cosmetic, other strategies for the management of vitiligo include:

·       Cover-up (skin-matched concealers)

·       Self-tanning creams containing dihydroxyacetone
