What is Hirsutism and How Do You Manage it
Effectively?

• Hirsutism refers to a condition in which women
  develop unwanted hair. Male-pattern hair growth
  can make women feel concerned and look for every
  possible remedy. While there are other causes of
  increased hair growth in undesired areas of the
  body, hirsutism results in excessive amounts of
  dark, course hair on chest, face, and back.
  Women may develop this condition due to excess
  male hormones, such as testosterone.
• When standard treatment options do not produce
  desired results, your doctor may recommend
  procedures used to remove hair permanently. Here,
  you will have two options
• Electrolysis It involves inserting a tiny needle
  into hair follicles and emit electric current to
  destroy the follicle. It produces good results,
  but need multiple treatments.
• Laser Therapy It is usually the safest way to
  get rid of unwanted hair. You need to find a
  specialist with laser hair removal equipment and
  ask them if you are a good candidate for laser
  therapy. The procedure involves using a laser
  light to damage hair follicles, which will keep
  hair from growing back.

Understanding Tattoo Removal

• How Tattoo removal works
• Using lasers lights or a high intensity beam
  which will enter directly into a person skin.
  Afterwards the skin that has the ink will
  selectively absorb the light in the layer
  underneath the skin. The laser will then break
  down the ink into smaller pieces in the skin. The
  pieces of ink that are broken down will then be
  absorbed by the immune system. This mimics the
  process of the skin fading over time due to
  exposure to the sun or certain rays of light. The
  number of tattoo treatments depends on the skin
  pigmentation of the person and the sheer amount
  of tattoos on the person's body.
• Tattoo Removal and skin color
• Ironically the darker the skin color the harder
  it is to remove a tattoo from the body. This is
  because melanin is a natural compound that
  absorbs light. This means that even if the laser
  is placed at its highest and penetrated into the
  layer under the skin it will be much harder to
  break the tattoo up than it would be for someone
  with a lighter hue. Laser tattoo removal is
  possible on darker skin as long as the laser is
  placed at the proper settings before the
  procedure. Q-switching which is known as a method
  for generating intense short pulses of light with
  a laser.

Reasons to Remove a Tattoo

• You may want to remove a tattoo if it has not
  been executed properly by an amateur tattoo
  artist. Similarly, you may have to think of
  tattoo removal due to a misspelled tattoo.
• You may think of removing a tattoo in case it is
  faded. Tattoos look great when they are bright
  and sharp, but thankfully, you no longer need to
  keep a faded or blurry tattoo.
• You may have the name of your girlfriend/boyfriend
  tattooed on your body, but you may need to have
  it removed once you have broken up. New
  technology has made it possible to really move on
  in life after having a failed relationship.
• You may have to consider removing a tattoo when
  you think it is no longer cool or in fashion.
  Trends keep changing with time, and sometimes,
  you want to remove the old one instead of having
  another tattoo done on your body.
• You may have to remove your tattoo if you are
  choosing a profession where they do not allow it,
  especially if your tattoo is on a visible area.
  This is especially true if you are going to join
  the military. Tattoos are also considered
  unprofessional in many workplaces, so you may
  have to remove one after changing careers.

How Long Does It Take to Remove a Tattoo Using
Medical Laser Equipment?

• Every patient seems worried and concerned about
  the duration of the removal process and the time
  it takes to completely remove the tattoo from
  your body. Many people decide to undergo a
  treatment considering the time it takes to get
  desired results. Many women would want to remove
  it before a special event, but it is not always
  possible to get quick results. So many factors
  play a role here, including the ability of your
  body to eliminate ink from the surface of your
  skin. In some cases, it takes up to a year to
  completely eliminate ink, but it may not take
  that long for some people to get results.
  Therefore, you should discuss it with the
  specialist before setting any expectations
  upfront.
• Depending on your skin tone, you may have to wait
  for at least six weeks between laser sessions to
  give your skin ample time to heal. It also
  depends on your body's immune system to respond
  properly to the treatment and flush away ink in a
  short time. Keep in mind that it can take longer
  more than eight weeks for people with darker
  complexions to see results from laser tattoo
  removal. You should understand that going for
  consecutive treatments too early would not
  produce better results, but it could damage your
  skin and lead to permanent side effects. The use
  of especially designed medical laser equipment
  has really lowered risk of side effects, but your
  skin type and immune system will play a role
  here. Therefore, it is a good idea to wait for at
  least three months between consecutive treatments.

The Benefits of Radio Waves on Your Skin

• The Radio Frequency waves stimulate the hormones
  Collagen and elastin, which both are needed to
  make your skin stronger and elastic, keeping your
  skin smooth and also reducing the effects of
  wrinkles and sagging skin
• The method is also quick, non-invasive, and you
  can get up and get back to your day within
  minutes of the treatment. Unlike injectable
  procedures or surgeries, you will see immediate
  results as your skin tightens.
• Radio frequency waves use the body to heal
  itself, stimulating hormones that were already
  there inside the body when you were younger and
  forcing them back into action, unlike other
  medical facial operations, that can make the
  problem worse by paralyzing the muscle.
• Finally, the results last by making your body
  able to produce hormones naturally, while not
  relying on outside stimuli or surgery, making
  everything look natural.

New Technology for Skin Care Treatments

• DPC Technology (more highly-focused intense
  pulsed light)
• DPC provides three pulse configurations,
  including smooth pulse, short pulse, or long
  pulse. These applications are completely
  non-invasive using external methods entirely as
  the process is completed for the patient.
  Treatments stimulate healing for all skin types.
  The pulses can be administered either quickly
  (which is more aggressive) or longer pulses (this
  gives a longer time to deliver the light beam).
  Each different application makes it easier for
  the professional to give safer and more effective
  treatments to the patient. The results are
  maximized and can be tailored to each patient.
• Radio Frequency Treatments
• Radiofrequency treatments are performed using
  tiny needles combined with the use of an x-ray
  machine into areas where pain is being felt, or
  where cancers exist, and then transmit radio
  waves to heal injured areas. A professional can
  gauge the intensity of the patients needs in
  order to receive the best results. RF treatments
  can be applied to relieve lower back or neck
  pain, as well as easing joint pain caused by
  arthritis. RF treatment is applied in typically
  ranges from 850- to 1750nm pulses. With
  alternative pulse frequencies, the professional
  is able to control temperatures that reach
  different layers of skin in varying depths.

New Technology for Skin Care Treatments

• Infrared Therapy
• Infrared therapy is based on applying a
  wavelength of infrared beams in micro-second
  applications (measured in nanometres, or
  nm).Infrared therapy does not just hide the
  symptoms, like medicines, but encourages healing
  of the cause of the pain. Infrared Therapy is one
  of the most sophisticated technologies for
  treatments such as body contouring, firming skin
  and skin rejuvenation.
• Laser Treatments
• Laser technology is used in cosmetic treatments
  (both intrusive and non-intrusive, depending on
  the results desired). Various treatments that
  laser therapy range from hair reduction, skin
  maintenance (from wrinkles or scars from acne),
  removal of blemishes (these include moles or age
  spots). Laser can also be used for tattoo
  removal, teeth whitening or skin discolorations
  like birthmarks. Your health professional will be
  able to discuss the treatments that you would
  benefit from the most. Skin care technology is
  advancing in leaps and bounds. Take advantage
  today!

Dynamic Pulse Control

• Improvements have addressed problems with
  previous methods of treatments
• DPC has the benefit of a shorter treatment time,
  so there is both a higher customer satisfaction,
  as well as a lower cost for the providers and
  patients. Because the treatment uses light pulses
  in three different intensity selections the
  patients comfort is far more satisfactory. There
  is no pain, because the therapy involves less
  time in the areas that are being treated. The
  customers fears are easily addressed. The entire
  process is more satisfactory for the patient, and
  definitely less threatening. The positive
  benefits show the worth of the new techniques.
• Flexible therapies
• With DPC, the three different light intensities
  offer a far more versatile treatment method.
  Since there is no pain for the patient, the
  results are far more satisfactory for both
  patients and doctors. Skin discolorations and
  lesions are able to be treated more easily with
  fantastic results. Removal of moles and acne more
  easily managed than before. An outcome this
  positive is less threatening for the patient.
  With lower concerns for safety, the patients are
  more likely to want to try these new methods.

11
Dynamic Pulse Control

• New technology benefits
• The DPC method of treatment provides a completely
  non-invasive procedure. This makes the therapy a
  less aggressive process, which is a benefit to
  both patient and practitioner. It shortens the
  recovery time after procedures. With less time
  and more comfort, far more patients are willing
  to enjoy therapy that will exceed their
  expectations.
• Cost benefits
• DPC addresses less invasive techniques, so there
  is an ability to lower the charge for processes
  done for the customer. With these improvements,
  more patients are able to have successful
  treatments. The therapies have less limitations
  and side effects. When difficulties are reduced,
  more patients want the improved therapy
  techniques. Because they are performed at a lower
  cost, more customers mean more profits for the
  health provider. Both of these benefits are
  extremely attractive to new and returning
  patients. There is no downside in this type of
  result for either the patient or the provider
  when all difficult aspects of the treatment are
  overcome.

• Dry Brushing
• The technique has been around for ages and is
  considered quite effective when done properly.
  The process involves applying gentle pressure on
  your skin with the help of a stiff-bristled
  brush. You need to brush in an upward direction
  or towards the heart. The idea is to focus on the
  affected area and stimulate the lymphatic system
  to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. The
  regular use of dry brushing is likely to help
  increase blood circulation and skin elasticity,
  which is supposed to help treat cellulite. Keep
  in mind that the technique may not work for
  everyone.
• Mesotherapy
• Originally developed to relieve pain associated
  with inflammatory skin conditions, such as
  psoriasis and eczema, mesotherapy is all about
  injecting, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and
  enzymes into the cellulite-affected area. Its
  regular use is supposed to break down fat tissue
  underneath the skin, which in turn is likely to
  reduce the appearance of cellulite in that area.
  The problem is that it is not approved by the FDA
  and may also be associated with side effects,
  such as infection, swelling, and irregular
  contours.

• Coffee Scrubs
• The idea is to take advantage of caffeine to
  stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the
  lymphatic drainage for a reduction in cellulite.
  Caffeine is supposed to shrink the fat cells
  underneath your skin, which in turn improve the
  appearance of cellulite-affected skin. Again, the
  treatment may not work for everyone, which makes
  people look for treatments involving medical
  laser machine.
• Laser Treatment
• When coffee scrubs, cellulite creams, dry
  brushing, and other holistic treatment approaches
  do not work, many people turn toward laser
  treatment. You can now find medical centers using
  laser technologies to tighten skin and eliminate
  cellulite. Laser technology helps increase the
  temperature of the fat cells underneath your skin
  to promote their break down. At the same time,
  laser technologies are likely to improve the
  production of collagen in the skin, which helps
  restore the elasticity of your skin. The increase
  in lymphatic and blood circulation is another
  reason why laser technologies prove more
  effective as compared to other treatments used
  for cellulite reduction.

Not Happy with Waxing? Try Laser Hair Removal for
Good Effects!

• Precision is the biggest benefit of laser
  therapy. With the use of laser, it is possible to
  target dark, coarse hair without causing any
  damage to the surround skin. Of course, you need
  to ensure that you have selected an experienced
  therapist for the procedure.
• Speed is another benefit of using laser hair
  removal. With other procedures, you have to wait
  for long to see any results. Each pulse of laser
  can treat a hair follicle in a few seconds, which
  significantly reduces the duration of the
  procedure. It is possible to treat the upper lip
  and other small areas in a minute or even less.
  You may have to wait for an hour to treat the
  legs, back, or other large areas.
• Predictability is another good reason why you may
  want to opt for laser hair removal instead of
  other procedures. If you check statistics, you
  will know that a large majority of people
  undergoing laser hair removal have permanent hair
  loss. You are likely to see desired results in
  3-7 sessions.

Causes of Wrinkles and How Skin Laser
Rejuvenation Helps

• Exposure to Sun It is important to spend time
  out in the sun to get the much-needed vitamin D,
  but an overexposure is something that can damage
  your skin in many ways. Both UVA and UVB rays are
  harmful to your skin they can penetrate deep
  into your skin and cause premature aging. If your
  job involves spending too much time in the sun,
  it may be the reason why you are dealing with so
  many wrinkles. Simply limit your exposure to the
  sun and you will notice good results. Keep in
  mind that sun damage can make you lose elastin
  and collagen, and also increases your risk of
  skin cancer. So, take necessary steps for
  protection.
• Polluted Environment There are all sorts of
  pollutants in your environment and prolonged
  exposure can damage your skin in a big way.
  Pollution contributes to free radical damage and
  also increases your risk for cancer. Studies have
  found that women living in urban settings are
  likely to have more wrinkles as compared to those
  living in rural areas. If you cannot change the
  environment around you, be sure to take steps to
  protect your skin as much as you can. Wash your
  face often and use special skincare products for
  added protection.
• Lack of Sleep Not getting enough sleep every
  night can affect the quality of your skin and
  lead to a number of other health problems,
  including obesity, diabetes, and what not. Your
  body repairs itself when you are asleep, and not
  giving it enough time to complete the process can
  cause all sorts of problems. Moreover, not
  getting enough sleep can change the pH of your
  that affects the ability of your skin's cells to
  stay hydrated. Again, it is going to contribute
  to wrinkles and age spots. Be sure to get at
  least 8 hours of shut-eye every night to stay
  healthy.

Causes of Wrinkles and How Skin Laser
Rejuvenation Helps

• You can alter your lifestyle and try skin laser
  rejuvenation for quick results. A medical expert
  will use Radio Frequency, Intense Pulsed Light,
  or Infrared technologies to correct skin
  blemishes, age spots, and wrinkles to help you
  have firmer, clearer, and younger looking skin.
  Interestingly, these treatments are quite
  suitable for the chest, neck, and hands as well.
  So, talk to your skin specialist to learn about
  laser skin rejuvenation for desired results.
