Combined treatments for cellulite
Magazines always show flawless images of female and male bodies, completely free of cellulite. Is this only possible in a dream? Not any more, because we can now get rid of cellulite using a combination of treatments: cryolipolysis and high-intensity focused ultrasounds (HIFU) or cryolipolysis and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The choice treatment for cellulite is cryolipolysis. This technique is based on American studies that prove that fat cells (adipocytes) are highly sensitive to cold. When they are subjected to temperature close to 5 or 6°C, their metabolism changes and the cells self-destruct in a matter of 10 to …Read more »
Combined treatments for the oval of the face
Nowadays, the approach adopted in aesthetic medicine is COMPREHENSIVE and often involves combining various techniques. Combined treatments enable us to achieve natural results that are also more effective. After a detailed clinical analysis, a personalised treatment plan is recommended for each patient. The different treatments that I personally like to combine are: hyaluronic acid injections, tensor threads, radiofrequency, and sometimes cryolipolysis for treating a double chin. The oval of the face and the sagging skin that goes with it are the most complex things to correct, and we need to treat several areas using different techniques to …Read more »
Your smartphone could be damaging your skin
We already know that smart devices can lead to decidedly 21st-century issues like tech neckand cellphone elbow, but some experts also suggest that they can cause premature aging of your skin. The culprit, they claim, is HEV or high energy visible light, which is naturally occurring but also pours out of the screens of devices like smartphones, computers and tablets. A study out of the University hospital of Nice in France found that compared to UVB irradiation, blue-violet light (also known as HEV) created significantly more pronounced hyperpigmentation of the skin that lasted up to three months. Other experts link the blue light from …Read more »

THE FACE YOGA CONTROVERSY
Face Yoga began getting widespread attention within the past couple years as companies formed to provide facial exercise training, vloggers flocked to YouTube to demonstrate the techniques, and celebrities opened up about their use of exercise to maintain their youthful looks. At first glance, it makes sense: exercise is good for the rest of your body, so why not your face? However, many dermatologists remained skeptical. Wrinkles such as smile lines can form as patients make the same facial expressions over and over. The more they scrunch up their face, the deeper their wrinkles. In these cases, botulinum toxin injections, including Botox, …Read more »
Choosing the Best Chemical Exfoliant for Each Client
Chemical exfoliants have been some of the oldest, most recognizable, and helpful cosmetic ingredients in skin care and their popularity and usefulness has not yet diminished. They remain one of the most reliable methods for skin resurfacing and improving the overall appearance of the skin as they continue to be highly sought after as the “miracle” for anti-aging. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were 1,360,850 chemical peels performed in 2016 – up four percent from 2015 and up 18 percent from the year 2000. There are two main categories of chemical exfoliants: alpha hydroxy acids …Read more »
CONTRAINDICATIONS AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF PLANTS FOR THE SKIN
Though many herbs, essential oils, and carrier oils have few reported side effects, allergies and reactions may occur with anyone, at any time. It is important to ask about allergies (particularly to ragweed and other seasonal allergies) during the client consultation, prior to using or recommending any plants. Be aware that anyone can be allergic to anything at any time, regardless of allergy history or past allergy test results. Patch testing is always a good idea. Phototoxicity is another legitimate concern. Be careful with herbs in the citrus or mint families, topical application of St. John’s wort, any herbs containing …Read more »
