http://www.amacorp.com How does laser hair removal work? Dark pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft and the papilla (the root of the hair follicle) are targeted by a specific light-energy emitted by the laser. In a tiny fraction of a second, the hair is simply vaporized without damaging the skin or any surrounding tissue. Permanent hair removal typically requires 5-6 visits Hair grows in 3 phases. 1) The active growth phase the part of the follicle that actually generates the hair (the papilla) is present and is growing a hair. 2) The mature phase when the hair has stopped growing and the papilla has disappeared. 3) The dormant phase the follicle is preparing to shed the old hair (exfoliation) and cycle back to the active growth phase. On average, a hair follicle will cycle through the phases every 4-12 weeks depending on which part of the body the hair is growing. When dark hair is treated, it is always vaporized regardless of the phase. However, the follicle itself will stop making hair only if treated during the active growth phase when the hair shaft is still connected to the root, making it vulnerable to the laser energy which destroys it. Therefore, the patient must return for 5-6 repeat visits of laser hair removal approximately 4-6 weeks apart until every follicle is caught in the active growth phase to achieve permanent hair removal. Long-term hair removal maintenance may be required With time, typical skin will grow new hair from newly active follicles that have never before been active. This is a common occurrence due to normal life changes, maturation, aging and normal hormonal cycles for both men and women. Therefore, even after a thorough and effective series of laser hair removal treatments that cleared all the hair from a given area, new hair may appear that will require an occasional laser hair removal touchup treatment. Does it hurt? In one pulse (that lasts a tiny fraction of a second) our lasers remove hair on a patch of skin the size of a quarter. The hair removal sensation is like plucking hair or getting snapped by a rubber-band. Our lasers incorporate a patented and state-of-the-art integrated cooling system that acts as a natural anesthetic, cooling down the skin to minimize any discomfort. Patients unanimously report that the hair removal treatment is a piece of cake compared to waxing. Darker hair vs. lighter hair and laser hair removal It is the pigment in the hair that actually absorbs laser energy. Thus, the darker the hair, the more laser energy it will absorb which is the key to vaporizing the hair and destroying the papilla for permanent hair removal. Additionally, the thicker the hair, the more laser energy it will absorb. Think of the hair shaft like a lightening rod. The thicker the rod, the more electricity it can absorb. Therefore, thick jet-black hair is the easiest to remove. Patients with light blonde, grey or white hair will need to apply a specially formulated pharmaceutical substance (that infuses the follicle with melanin) in conjunction with their laser hair removal treatments.

I know some people may not be interested in this so please feel free to skip this video! At the same time, I hope anyone interested in laser hair removal might find it a bit useful! The clinic I had my treatments at is SK:N http://www.sknclinics.co.uk/ One of the biggest things I forgot to mention was the exact feeling of the laser around session 3-4. Its hard to describe but its like a sharp, quick ping of an elastic band with a slight burn lol! It lasts split seconds and remember a little pain, a BIG gain! Cold and I mean COLD air is blasted on your face which takes a lot of the edge off! You may even find it doesn’t hurt you quite so much, I have very course hair or I should say HAD! FYI: Top lip is the painful area but only requires about 8 little zaps! I had a course of 6 treatments in total which worked out to roughly £80 a session and I have about 95% reduction so may have another treatment to blast the final 5%. My course of treatments was on offer so cheaper than usual. SK:N run these promotions quite frequently so it’s worth waiting for as it reduces the price substantially! I would recommend booking all your treatments in one go as a) it makes each session cheaper and b) going for one session will not reduce the hair but will cost you just under £100! Its a lot of money but worth it when 6 months later you are hair free!!! Woop! Also worth noting, laser does not work on blonde hair as there is no pigmentation for the laser to travel down. Any more questions please post me a comment!

http://www.drkaram.com 858-259-FACE San Diego Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Amir Karam describes how he gave 2 of his patients a more refreshed natural look using a combination of dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm and Botox Injections. Laura received a combination of Cosmetic Botox & Juvederm in her lower eyelids and lips to achieve her goals without having to undergo eyelid surgery. For Stephanie, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Karam performed a liquid eyelift using Restylane to give her a more rested look. Cosmetic Botox is used to treat unwanted wrinkles on the face and neck. Botox treatment is used to eliminate dynamic wrinkles (motion wrinkles). These wrinkles are caused by contraction of the facial muscles. After time, this repeated muscle contractions results in permanent wrinkles (static wrinkles). Static wrinkles are defined as lines and creases that remain on the skin even when the face is not moving. Cosmetic Botox injections have revolutionized our ability to treat dynamic wrinkles of the face, that once required facial surgery to remove. Botox works by decreasing the activity of muscles which produce these wrinkles. Perhaps, one of the most important benefits of repeated long-term treatment is prevention of wrinkle formation. Non Surgical Eye Rejuvenation – San Diego Restylane & Juvederm – Hyaluranic Acids With age a layer of fat around our eyes begins to diminish, which leave our eyes looking hollow, sunken, and bony. This process starts as early as mid 30s and continues to worsen with age. In these cases, removing fat would make the eyes look even more sunken and hollow. Therefore, fillers such as Restylane can be used to fill the tear troughs of the lower lids as well as the hollows along the upper eyelid region. This is an in-office procedure and typically takes 10 minutes and is virtually painless. Until recently, this component of facial aging was overlooked. We are now realizing what a major contribution volume makes to looking younger, healthier and more energetic. The results can be dramatic. They leave the eyes looking significantly more refreshed and less tired-appearing. Often this can be combined with Botox Cosmetic, which be used to lift the eyebrows and significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the crows feet and along the lower eyelid region.
