Skin Tightening - How Laser Treatments Firm Your Face and Stomach
0 comentarii Publicat de admin la 01:57Loose sagging skin on our face, stomach, arms and other areas is very distressing to many of us. Loose skin or integument (integument - medical term for skin) makes us look old and out of shape, no matter how hard we work out and try to stay fit. In the past, effective skin tightening required plastic surgical procedures like face lift and tummy tuck. However, in the past few years, many new non-surgical and laser skin tightening methods have been developed. The new skin tightening technology has been steadily getting better as the machines improve and as doctors learn how to maximize the results achieved.
Today, often using a combination of different methods, substantial skin tightening can be achieved without surgery, a very different situation than just 3-4 years ago when Thermage, Titan, Refirme, and LuxIR Deep were introduced. There are many skin tightening advertisements that can be misleading, so you really need to be an informed consumer and understand the technology if you are going to achieve the result that you desire. Below I will explain how the new skin tightening technology works and which methods are the best.
How Non-surgical Skin Tightening Works
Tight, firm skin requires good elasticity. Elasticity means the ability of the skin or integument to snap back or tighten after it has been displaced or pulled away from the body. Good elasticity depends on healthy collagen and elastin fibers that lie very deep, near the bottom of the dermis, the deep layer of our integument below the surface. Collagen and elastin fibers act like small rubber bands that hold the integument tight against our body, and pull the loose tissue back when it is stretched or pulled.
Aging, sun damage from ultraviolet (UV) light, smoking, stress, excessive alcohol intake and an unhealthy diet and lifestyle all destroy collagen and elastin in the dermis and cause the integument to loosen and sag. Stretching caused by pregnancy or rapid weight loss after dieting or gastric bypass surgery also destroys collagen and elastin in the dermis and results in sagging and loss of tone.
All laser and non-surgical skin tightening methods work by stimulating the growth of new collagen and elastin in the dermis. When you heat collagen and elastin to 66 degrees centigrade, the collagen and elastin fibers shrink or tighten, and are remodeled with new collagen and elastin formation. The effect of this skin tightening and new collagen and elastin formation is that the deep dermis contracts and becomes firmer and the loose tissue is tightened.
The elastin and collagen lie very deep in the dermis, and the major challenge is to get enough heat deep down in the dermis to remodel elastin and collagen without burning the surface of the integument as the heat passes through the more superficial layers.
This has been accomplished by using very effective cooling devices that cool the surface while the heat energy is passed through the surface on its way to the deep dermis. Machines that have this ability are the Palomar LuxIR Deep, Thermage, titan and Refirme to name a few.
A newer method applies heat to the deep layers from underneath. New laser liposuction technology like SlimLipo uses a small laser cannula placed beneath the integument to melt fat. The heat also causes contraction and firming of the overlying loose tissue. This technique has been very effective for the tummy and neck or double chin.
Laser Skin Tightening
Old time CO2 and Erbium laser resurfacing did effectively tighten loose tissue. However, recovery was very difficult with lengthy healing time, prolonged redness and hypo pigmentation or loss of color after the procedure. These techniques are no longer widely practiced.
New fractional laser resurfacing techniques are a great improvement. By fractionating or breaking up the laser into many small beams, untreated areas are left to speed healing and complications are less common. The new fractional resurfacing techniques also can go deeper into the dermis to firm up the deeper collagen and elastin layers. Fractional laser resurfacing machines include the Starlux 1540 and 2940, Fraxel, ActiveFX, DeepFX, Profractional, and Affirm machines.
These skin tightening techniques can be used on and are most effective on the face. Because integument healing is required, these fractional resurfacing techniques are less effective in other areas such as the neck, stomach, and arms.
Lasers are not the treatment of choice for sagging and laxity of the neck, abdomen and arms. These areas require more heat energy that can only be delivered by infrared and radiofrequency machines.
Infrared and Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
The most effective surface applied skin tightening machines today use either radiofrequency or infrared heat energy to firm loose and sagging tissue on the neck, arms and tummy. These machines have sophisticated cooling hand pieces to prevent burn injury.
These machines can penetrate deeply into the dermis, down to 2000 microns where the elastin fibers are most plentiful. These deep treatments are necessary for maximum firming and skin tightening. Commonly available machines are Palomar's LuxIR Deep, Thermage, Titan, and Refirme among many others.
Understand that 4 treatments are usually required for the best result with most machines. New collagen and elastin production will not occur until 6 months after your last treatment, so it takes time to see your final result.
In my opinion, the best results are about a 20-30% improvement. Even better results are possible with higher energies using the LuxIR Deep which has superb new cooling system which allows us to more than double the energy we are using. The new LuxIR Deep cooling with increased energy delivery also shortens the duration of treatments.
Still, infrared and radiofrequency machines cannot yet achieve the same results that I can achieve with a face lift, tummy tuck, or arm lift.
Laser Liposuction
Recently, new laser liposuction technology called SlimLipo has produced remarkable firming of the loose integument and fat during the fat dissolving process. Because the SlimLipo laser fiber is placed beneath the integument, the laser beam has closer and more direct access to the subcutaneous elastin fibers.
Laser liposuction has been used successfully to firm the loose tummy, loose arm, loose neck, and to firm the hips and thighs. This new laser liposuction method will be a very important in years to come.
Which Skin Tightening Method Is Best For You?
Your choice of a firming method will depend on how much loose skin you have and where the loose skin is located. If you have wrinkles, sun damage and mild laxity around the cheeks and mouth, then fractional laser skin resurfacing with combined Starlux 1540 and 2940 lasers are your best option.
If you have good skin, and mild to moderate skin laxity of your cheeks, neck, abdomen or arms, the Infrared or radiofrequency skin tightening will give you a 20-30 % result. I use the LuxIR Deep skin infrared skin tightening machine made by Palomar.
If you have both fat and loose skin on your tummy, arms, neck, double chin, hips or thighs, then laser liposuction is your best choice for skin tightening. I use the SlimLipo laser liposuction machine made by Palomar.
How To Find A Doctor
Board certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists are the laser experts, but all board certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists are not experienced in lasers.
Therefore, you will have to do your homework and inquire of the doctors if they are experienced with lasers and laser surgery. It is very important to consult an expert. Although the nurse or medical aesthetician may do the infrared or radiofrequency integument firming, the doctor who supervises the treatment must understand lasers and light technology. Laser liposuction and laser resurfacing must be done by an experienced physician.
Today there are many non plastic surgeons and dermatologists who advertise laser and light services who are not experts at these techniques. You really need to ask the right questions and investigate. These new technologies can be dangerous and harmful in inexperienced hands.
Good places to look are the websites of the following organizations:
American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)
American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS)
Visit these websites and search for board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Visit their websites and see if the doctor offers laser and non-surgical skin firming treatments. Consult at least two doctors and ask to see photos of results on their own patients. Do not seek skin firming treatments in medical spas that do not have a board certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist, experienced in laser surgery, present on site.

yours! You can use secret beauty tips for an oil free look to have the best appearance all the time, whether going to a party or lounging about the house on Saturday afternoon.Take Advantage of Face BlottersFace blotters are big secret beauty tip that many women with oily skin have never heard of. Periodically during the day, get a face blotter out of your purse or pocket and blot your face while you are in the restroom. It will remove all appearance of oil and help you skin look and feel better. Don’t substitute facial tissues or toilet paper for facial blotters. Facial blotters are specifically designed to keep from moving the makeup on your face while it absorbs the oil. Facial tissue will end up taking your makeup off your face and leave you completely blotchy. No-one likes that appearance and should take advantage of this secret beauty tip.Use Water Based and Powder Products on Oily AreasOne of the advantages to oily areas of the skin is being able to use water based or powder products on these areas.

Water based products help your skin look smooth and beautiful with your makeup instead of applying additional makeup oil on already problem areas of your face.Never Use Your Fingers or Makeup Sponges to Apply Make Up to Oily AreasFingers have oil.

Rubbing the skin will also make your face decide that it is time to produce more oil, creating a bigger problem.

[-] My Personal Beauty Tips from the Lowest-Priced Beauty Products
0 comentarii Publicat de admin la 10:20There are all kinds of inexpensive products that you can find at the department store or drugstore. Here are some of the ones I have found and some great beauty tips to go along with them. Chances are you already have some of these things in your cabinet and if not after you check out
these tips you might be picking them up! They are great products that won’t break the budget.First let me tell you about Aquaphor Healing Ointment. It goes for about five to six dollars. This is just the thing if you find yourself always having dry cracked lips. Just dab a little on and rub in and it gets your lips very soft. Another use for it on the lips is if you want to add some fullness dab some on the center of your bottom lip and it will create some instant fullness. That sounds pretty simple but there is more. You can also use this product to get beautiful lashes. Simply swirl a little Aquaphor on a cotton swab and run it over your top lashes. It deepens the color of your lashes and it conditions them too, giving them a break from your normal mascara. We all know how our lashes can get dried out and kind of brittle. If you want to groom and shape your eyebrows in a hurry just put a little on your finger tip and smooth over, you’ll have nice shaped, soft looking brows.The next great product to try for some great beauty tips is Wet & Wild Mega Pump Shimmer. It is only $3.99. And that is impressive when you learn how it can brighten up your face. The thing is that just a touch makes any face look bright, radiant, and years younger. Just by sweeping a little of this shimmer right on top of the cheek, just below the eyes. It gives skin a fresh illuminated look. Another great tip for this product, use it to slim your nose. Yes that’s right! Sweep a little down the bridge of your nose and that will make it instantly look narrower. It blends in well enough that that the effect is subtle and not glittery. To wake up tired eyes a little take a very small eye brush and dot a little in the corners of the eyes. That little dab opens up the eyes and counteracts any redness.
Beauty MakeoverDoes your beauty routine need a makeover? It is easy to fall into the same old rut with our appearance. If you determine that your look needs a little spicing up, well don’t put if off one day longer. A beauty overhaul doesn’t have to break the bank, or add extra time to your already
hectic schedule. I would like to outline some quick and simple beauty tips that you can incorporate immediately to boost your appearance and confidence.Beauty overhaul tip #1Get a new hair cut. One of the quickest ways to obtain a fresh new look is to get a new hair style. Search magazines for hair styles that appeal too you, and then present what you find too your stylist. Try new styles and hair colors, and highlights if necessary. After you’ve received your new style, savor how you feel about it, and make a new hair cut/style apart of your regular beauty overhaul all year long.Beauty overhaul tip #2Keep your nails and hands soft and inviting. Many people overlook this area, but it is a sign of care and concern for oneself when they keep their nails clean and manicured. If a trip to the nail salon monthly is not in your budget, their are numerous products on the market that you can by and use at home to achieve the same effect. Keep those hands soft, smooth and touchable.Beauty overhaul tip #3Keep lips moisturized. Do not neglect to keep your lips moisturized. Pay extra attention to this area in the wintry months. Dry chapped lips are not attractive or inviting. One tip is to apply a lip balm before bed at night to allow your lips to be saturated while you sleep at night.Beauty overhaul tip #4Don’t over-do your hair. Your hair needs a break from harsh styling products and heat bearing equipment sometimes. You will find that oftentimes with hair less is more. At Least try to be heat free one day a week. This will encourage healthy growth, sheen (or shine), and prevention of split or burnt ends.Beauty overhaul tip #5

Cosmetics can easily cost you a fortune over time. Learning how to save money on cosmetics will enable you to look your best without putting a new hole in your wallet. During the recession, I’ve looked for ways to cut corners and save money. I noticed that
I was paying a fortune on cosmetics and was determined to save money in this area of our budget. What are some secret beauty tips to save money on cosmetics?Take Advantage of Free Makeup SamplesThere are several ways to get free makeup samples to use for your beauty needs. I signed up for free cosmetic samples on the Internet. Normally, you have to fill out a survey. Some of them require that you join a club. I just cancel the trial membership before they can charge my credit card.Another place to get free cosmetic samples is from your local mall. Many of the larger department stores have some wonderful samples. They’re so anxious to sell to you that they will even help you pick out the ideal makeup and colors just for your skin tone.Use Powder Foundation Instead of LiquidOne of the quickest cosmetic items I would go through is my liquid foundation makeup. I read in a beauty magazine, while standing in the checkout lane, take powder base and mix with a small amount of water. You instantly have all the advantages of liquid foundation makeup without paying as much for the cosmetic. This is a wonderful way to save money on makeup that really works!Shiny and Chapped Lips Cure Another tip I read in the beauty magazine was a way to save a fortune on lip gloss and chap stick. I like to have the shiny gloss look to my lips. After I apply my lipstick, I always put on a thin layer of luxurious, shiny gloss. Now, I save money on cosmetics by using petroleum jelly on my lips. Not only are my lips shiny and luxurious, they never get chapped. The petroleum jelly saves money on makeup and seals my lips from wind burn and locks in moisture.Cut Corners on Blush and Eye Shadow
Despite all of the expensive beauty care products available to consumers today, you do not have to spend a lot of money in order to look beautiful. So many of the expensive products are used as a means of covering up our flaws or changing the way we look. Here are my 5 beauty tips that
can save you money. 1) Use Vaseline to moisturize. I have tried everything there is to moisturize my dry skin. I have spent lots of money on the fancy creams and lotions that are supposed to work miracles. Nothing…and I repeat nothing…has ever worked as effectively as Vaseline. But there are some tricks to make it effective. Make sure your skin is clean, and still damp. This way, especially on your face…the Vaseline mixes with the water and also serves to hold the moisture in. Leave the Vaseline on your face for around 20 minutes and then wipe off with a damp cloth. You may then put a lighter moisturizer on your face to sleep in if you wish. Vaseline does miracles on dry, cracked feet. After your bath or shower, slather the Vaseline on your feet and then put socks on. Sleep in the socks. When you wake the next morning, your feel will be soft, and ready to don those summer sandals. The same goes for your hands. Put Vaseline on your hands and sleep in gloves. The next morning, they will be amazingly soft. 2) Reduce the amount of make up you wear. As much as the advertisers would have us believe that makeup is the key to being beautiful, let’s remember their number one goal. Money. Of course they are going to tell us to wear lots of makeup. More sales mean more revenue for them. The fact is makeup makes you look older. So unless you’re young TRYING to look older (something I can’t even imagine)…you are defeating the purpose by wearing lots of makeup. Less is truly more…especially as you age. Makeup has a tendency to sink into any wrinkles you do have, making them more obvious. Bold, harsh colors do little to make you look more beautiful. They merely cover your natural beauty. I’m not saying skip makeup entirely. But learn what your best features are, and use the make up to accentuate those features…not hide them.

When breast enhancement procedures began in the 70's, they were somewhat crude. The dangers of them have been well chronicled. Over the years, the procedures have improved tremendously. The latest innovation in breast augmentation - TUBA, has several advantages over all others. TUBA, or transumbilical breast augmentation, puts the incision near the belly button and this offers many advantages.
1) Recovery time takes about half the time of other procedures.
2) Because the incision is not made in the breasts and/or the milk ducts, the chances of the patient acquiring a bacterial infection are greatly reduced.
3) The chances of there being problems with the production of breast milk during pregnancy are greatly reduced. Again, because the incision does not go through the milk ducts. It's important to note here that there still could be problems with milk production due to the pressure caused by the implants but these problems are very rare.
4) Scar treatments are rarely necessary. Other procedures require that you stay out of the sun for up to a year. This is not necessary with TUBA.
5) No chances of the incision stretching or tearing during recovery since it's made in the navel instead of the breast. The area is well protected and the incision is much smaller.
6) There's no chance of loss of nipple sensation since no nerves are cut like they are in other procedures.
When it comes to breast augmentation, TUBA offers many advantages that other procedures don't. There are, however, also some negatives that you should be aware of.
The great majority of women who have had breast enhancement surgery done are extremely satisfied with their results. They have a renewed sense of self confidence and clothes shopping is a lot more fun. However, a surprising percentage of them experienced some very negative emotions shortly after the surgery. Many compare these feelings to those experienced during post partum depression. There are many things that go into a successful recovery during the post breast augmentation period and handling the emotional roller coaster may be one of them.
Anastesia can be the problem for some women. Besides experiencing physical complications like migraines or nausea, waking up from surgery can have a lingering effect on the mind as well. It's important to have friends and family around to support you at this time.
Many women experience regret upon seeing their breasts for the first time. A major change in your body can take some time to get used to and you should prepare yourself for the "shock" of seeing the new you. Another reason regret sometimes sets in is, your breasts usually do not look very appealing right after surgery. It can take weeks or months for them to fully heal and take on a natural appearance.
You may be extra sensitive to stares and attention your new breasts will attract and many women have a hard time getting used to this. Planning conservative outfits to wear for the first few weeks of showing off the new you should help to keep feelings of insecurities down as you venture into public initially.
Make sure to ask your physician what to expect from every aspect of post breast augmentation surgery. Remember, feelings of regret or sadness is not uncommon and they will go away.
There are several types of breast enhancement procedures and each has its own set of recovery rules and requirements. Having said that, recovery after breast augmentation requires four main actions no matter what type of procedure you had performed. Following them closely can make the difference between a speedy recovery that goes smoothly and one that is prolonged and develops problems.
First, and most important, you must rest. This sounds simple and obvious but many women underestimate the amount of rest they will need after surgery. That's what this is after all, major surgery. Don't make the mistake of not scheduling enough time off of work or not having enough help once you get home. You need to stay in bed and let your body heal.
You need to take all medications as prescribed, especially the antibiotics. Infections can occur during your recovery after breast augmentation and they can cause serious problems. Make sure to let your surgeon know if pain persists or develops in areas other than the breasts.
Massage is very effective and necessary to speed up the recovery process. Pay attention closely to the instructions that will be given to you before the surgery.
Abide by the surgeons rules. Do not listen to others who may have also had enhancements done that brag about how quickly they returned to work or went sunbathing. Your inability or unwillingness to follow instructions can result in disastrous side effects.
Recovery after breast enhancement surgery is a very important part of the procedure that must be done correctly to ensure its success.
Recent figures have shown a 50% increase in the number of people undergoing facial rejuvenation procedures during the last year. Why are more people considering these forms of treatment? Many people tell me that they don't like having their photograph taken and feel as if they would like to look fresher and less tired. Patients often tell me that they believe their face does not match the way they feel.
In contrast to the United States most people considering any form of treatment want to look as natural as possible. Realistically treatments can make you look as you did 8-10 years ago.
To achieve a natural fresh appearance it is important to address each of the following: The skin, active wrinkles caused by muscle contractions and gravity changes. For some people dramatic improvements can be achieved with skin treatments which involve minimal downtime and cost.
Skin treatments alone can make you look much fresher and brighter. These treatments are typically performed with either laser therapy or a light chemical peel. This removes fine wrinkles, reduces pore size and causes mild skin contraction. These combine to make the skin look fresher and more youthful.
Active wrinkles caused by muscle contraction are typically found between the eyebrows (frown lines), on the forehead and below the temple (crows feet). As these lines are caused by muscle contraction they are best treated by selectively reducing the overactive muscle activity in these areas. This best performed with small injections into specific muscles.
Gravity changes include descent of the cheek region which causes deepening of the lines which come down from the nose to corner of the mouth. Other changes include loss of the jaw line and jowl formation. The neck skin can also loosen and the sharp angle between the neck and chin is lost.
Gravity changes are best treated with Surgery as the muscle layers of the face need to be repositioned in their previous position. In the forties and early fifties it is often best to have a Mini-face lift (MACS-lift). This elevates the cheek, jowl and neck regions and restores a more youthful face shape.
Most people in their mid to late fifties or older are more suited to more traditional face lift techniques (SMAS-lifts). These techniques specifically tighten the neck and jowl regions.
In order to find out which treatment would be best for you it is best to schedule and appointment for an individual assessment. Consultations are in the strictest confidence and can be arranged with either Mr Richards or his Nurse specialists.
The plastic surgery treatment of the aging face often involves a facelifting surgery. A facelift is one of the top ten cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. Despite its frequent performance and its recognition by the public, it is a procedure that is usually misunderstood.
The most common misconception of a facelift is that it does very little for much of the face. It is a procedure that has its impact on the neck and jowl areas. The rest of the face is untouched by the operation. While other procedures are often done with it, such as eyes and brows, these procedures are not part of the a traditional facelift operation. A facelift should more properly be called a necklift or a neck-jowl lift.
Another misconception about facelifts is what is actually lifted. Everyone understands that face and neck skin is lifted and moved back, but what goes on underneath the skin layer is a frequent point of misinterpretation. Patients often ask me if I am going to lift and tighten the 'muscles'. From an anatomic standpoint, lifting the facial muscles is an impossibility. Most facial muscles are attached tightly to the underlying bone and moving them would not only be very difficult but would not have any positive benefit. There is only one muscle that is often tightened in a facelift and that is the platysma muscle in the neck, which is often separated due to aging. It is never lifted per se but it is tightened in the middle, from the chin down to the adam's apple, to help sharpen the neck angle.
The layer underneath the skin that patients misinterpret as muscle being moved is actually a different tissue altogether. Between the skin and the muscles is a layer of tissue known as the SMAS. This is an acronym for a more anatomic name but for simplicity of understanding think of the SMAS as another layer of skin underneath. This layer can be raised up off the muscles and re-suspended up higher on the face. The combination of SMAS and skin tightening together generally makes for a better facelift result that may last somewhat longer.
There is great controversy in plastic surgery about how to most effectively deal with the SMAS during the facelift operation. Many facelift surgeons tout their own techniques and may even have their own names for their 'type' of facelift based on their version of SMAS manipulation. While SMAS management in any form of a facelift is a plus, there is no proven superior method of what to do with it. If one single SMAS facelift technique was genuinely best, we all would be using it.
In a facelift, the underlying tissues that are manipulated is the SMAS layer not muscles. SMAS tightening does usually make for a better facelift result that is more durable. However, time and aging will eventually outlast any facelift result no matter how it is done. And the overall goal for most patients is to ultimately outlive their facelift result....or at least I would think so.
As we age gravity causes the eyebrows (brow) to move downwards. We compensate for this by contracting the muscle which raises the eyebrows. Contraction of this muscle causes wrinkle lines across the forehead. Eventually the muscle relaxes and the eyebrows become lower. This typically makes you look slightly sad and tired. It can also increase the fold on the upper eyelid making it difficult to apply makeup.
Brow lift treatments are aimed at elevating the eyebrows. This widens the eyes and makes you look less tired. After surgery people are often asked if they have been on holiday as they look refreshed. The effects are subtle and most people will not be able to pinpoint the exact change in you but will notice that you look fresher.
The eyebrow in females should be gently arched with its' highest point lying 2/3rds of the way out from the centre. In men the eyebrows are usually flatter and raising them is not usually appropriate as this can make them look slightly surprised.
Brow lifts can be performed with an operation. This procedure is normally carried out by keyhole surgery. Small incisions are made within the hairline and the tissue is gently separated allowing the eyebrows to rise. Most people recover quickly from the procedure and are back at work within 10 days.
More recently injection techniques have been used to lift the eyebrows. Selectively weakening the muscles which pull down the eyebrows will result in them rising. The muscles which pull down the inner part of the eyebrows cause frowning in the centre of the forehead. The muscles which pull down the outer part of the eyebrows cause the crows-feet smile lines which occur on the temple on the side of the eye.
Injections to weaken these muscles can be performed as an outpatient procedure at the Gatehouse Clinic in Northampton. Many people have the treatment during work breaks or at the end of the day. The effects are not immediate with most people noticing a gradual decrease in the frown and crows feet wrinkles a week following treatment. This effect last between 4-6 months and will need to be repeated. Usually after a 3 treatments in a year the muscles relax more permanently and the effect last for longer and longer.
It is important to remember that every bodies face is different and it is often worth having a consultation to assess which treatment is most suitable for you. This starts with a complementary skin analysis and discussion of the treatments available. The Gatehouse Clinic combines the experience of specialist Plastic Surgeons, Nurses and specially trained beauty therapist to ensue you receive the best possible treatment and advice.
