The Ins and Outs of Ketogenic Dieting

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which most of the body’s energy supply comes from ketones (sometimes known as “fractured fats”) found in blood plasma. This is very different to the state of glycolysis in which plasma glucose (carbohydrates) provides most of the body’s energy needs. Despite rumblings around the internet, ketosis is absolutely a natural state for the body to be in, when it is almost completely fueled by ketones. Without a doubt, ketosis is a normal metabolic state during fasting or when a person is on a very strict low-carbohydrate diet, which is known also as a “ketogenic …Read more »

How to Achieve a Circle of Beauty From the Inside Out

Starting at 25, most women start thinking about anti-aging. This is the age when beauty campaigns start targeting this journey (let’s face it, for most of us it’s a journey that lasts most of our lives). But is this a one-lane journey? Does one approach really work or do beauty companies basically sell us hope in a jar? According to Forbes Magazine, the beauty industry is currently amassing more than $445 billion a year, so millions are spending money on the latest, trendy “miracle” creams, gels and masks. However, there’s also a movement focused on a more holistic approach. Rather than …Read more »

RF-based devices for vaginal rejuvenation

  RF devices that emit focused electromagnetic waves generating heat upon meeting tissue impedance have been widely applied for an array of aesthetic indications in facial and off-face sites, targeting cellulite, laxity, and noninvasive fat removal. Since RF energy is unabsorbed by melanin, the technology is safe for all skin types and has a proven clinical history in terms of safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction. Although transurethral monopolar RF has been used to treat stress urinary incontinence with minimal risk of adverse events, nonablative RF has only recently been explored as a noninvasive strategy to achieve tightening of the vaginal …Read more »

An educator’s focus can make the difference

As an educator at the midpoint of my career, I have witnessed numerous colleagues retire from a successful career in education and transition to a second, unrelated career almost seamlessly. I have often asked myself how is this possible? Do they possess a special skill or training that has enabled them to transition so effortlessly? Were they privileged to inherit this special skill? Do they have the “golden touch” that permits them to become successful at whatever they so choose to undertake? The answers to these questions were simple, but revolutionary. Each retiree possessed a strong focus on the task …Read more »

How Black Light Can Help Melasma Treatment

  Early detection can help improve melasma treatment, and researchers believe they now have the key: black light. Some had already suggested black light could help dermatologists diagnose melasma depth, but researchers at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have discovered the technology can help diagnose melasma that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. For their study, the researchers quantitatively measured amounts of melasma detected using natural light and using black light, then compared the two. They discovered that the black light did, in fact, detect melasma that was invisible in natural light. It seems …Read more »

Radiofrequency – Potential Suitability for Vaginal treatments

Introduction Increasingly, ablative and nonablative energies and techniques that were developed for dermatological treatments on the face and other visible areas of the skin are being redirected to deliver benefits to the vulvovaginal region. This new area of Feminine Rejuvenation encompasses treatments addressing a breadth of conditions: these include vaginal laxity of the introltus due to childbirth or aging, stress urinary incontinence, or Genitourinary Symptoms of Menopause (GMS) which can encompass vulvovaginal atrophy, atrophic vaginitis, urinary incontinence and/or dyspareunia or painful intercourse. As clinicians consider the range of modalities for these applications, it is important to understand the differing delivery …Read more »

Skin Brightening, Lightening and Bleaching

  All women, regardless of age or ethnicity want even, clear and radiant skin. The quest for beautiful skin can take us in a number of directions and it is important to examine the differences between brightening, lightening and bleaching for the desired results. For most women, the challenge to achieve radiant skin begins with dark spots or hyperpigmentation caused by the accumulation of melanin. Hyperpigmentation can be exacerbated by genetics and ethnicity. For black and brown skinned women of African, South East Asian and Hispanic descent, hyperpigmentation can create an uneven skin tone. For Caucasian women of European or …Read more »

Does a microcurrent facial really lift your face?

Have you ever worked out your face? An eyebrow-raising beauty trend, called a microcurrent facial, aims to do just that. The noninvasive treatment involves zapping your face with tiny electrical currents to stimulate, tone and tighten facial muscles. “It’s like a little workout for your face,” actress Jennifer Aniston said in an interview with InStyle magazine last year. The electrical stimulation technology behind the microcurrent facial has been used in partnership with various treatments for patients afflicted with Bell’s palsy, a sudden paralysis or weakness of facial muscles that causes one side of your face to appear to droop. Now …Read more »
