Laser facial hair removal is easy and effective

Adam Jackson has written Laser facial hair removal is easy and effective and writes "Laser facial hair removal is the option preferred by many people around the world for removing unwanted hairs in the face. Other methods of facial hair removal such as shaving, plucking and using depilatory creams can be irritating and messy. To avoid such discomforts with these methods you can go for laser facial hair removal.

Before you go for a laser facial hair removal kindly consult your physician who can identify the best type of laser facial hair removal for your type of skin. You can opt for any laser. The type of laser that is to be used for facial hair removal has to be determined based on the type of skin a person has. This will be done by the doctor prior to the laser facial hair removal..

The laser facial hair removal is more gentle and non invasive. It is a long lasting solution for permanent removal of facial hairs. Laser facial hair removal can also be done with the laser light based devices such as Light Sheer Diode laser system and the IPL. These devices provide excellent results for laser facial hair removal.

Some precautions have to be taken before you go for a laser facial hair removal treatment. The patient is advised to stay away from sun light for at least a week prior to the laser hair removal session. The laser device has to be set correctly for the skin color of the person. For this a patch test is done in a small area before implementing the entire procedure.

Facial Hair Removal: Unwanted Facial Hair Removal For Men and Women

C Mueller Platinum has written Facial Hair Removal: Unwanted Facial Hair Removal For Men and Women and writes "Men and women can often commiserate when it comes to unwanted facial hair removal.

For men, shaving becomes a daily chore even for those of us who let all or some of our facial hair grow (I have a goatee).

For women, facial hair can be more of a stigma than for men since facial hair on a man isn't out of the ordinary in most cultures.

As new hair removal technologies come on the market, we have at our disposal more effective methods of dealing with unwanted facial hair..

Perhaps the biggest difference between facial hair when it comes to men and women is the length of time that we try to get rid of it!

Men tend to be accept the fact that face shaving is a daily task and we tend to concentrate on how to achieve the best results ie. finding the closest shave, avoiding cutting ourselves, etc.

For women, getting rid of unwanted facial hair might be more an attempt to achieve medium to long term hair removal.

Whatever your goals for unwanted facial hair removal, there are options for men and women to choose from. Learning about the latest technology available is your best bet to ensure you are aware of all options at your disposal that fit your personal requirements.

Temporary and permanent hair removal technology is evolving constantly and is relevant to both men and women who want to remove unwanted hair.

A Woman's Guide to Removing Facial Hair

Megan Halloway has written A Woman's Guide to Removing Facial Hair and writes "Many women experience unwanted facial hair and wish to have it removed. It can be due to genetics, age, medication or many women just want it removed for cosmetic reasons, like eyebrow hair. Women experience growth of unwanted facial hair during certain times of their life, such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Regardless, there is a large population of women who want a safe, long lasting, and effective way to remove facial hair. One way to remove facial hair is through shaving. Although the old wives tale that this will cause the hair it grow back thicker and faster is not true, many woman feel this is too masculine a way to remove facial hair. Plus, it only eliminates the problem for a short amount of time and may irritate sensitive skin.

One of the most common ways for women to remove facial hair is by plucking. They are probably already familiar with this due to plucking their eyebrows with a process. If they see a darker hair on their lip or chin, it is easy enough to pluck out. Plucking the hair removes it longer than shaving, but is still not the permanent solution for which many women are looking. Waxing is similar to plucking, but it can be more painful and is more likely to irritate sensitive skin. The same is true for creams that remove hair plus many of them have a bad smell. There is a skin cream called Vaniqa that decreases facial hair growth, but it is also only temporary and requires a prescription from a doctor..

You can purchase epilators with tweezers at most beauty stores, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated that that is no statistically significant data to prove that tweezer epilators provide permanent hair removal. It may for some, and not for others. One factor may be the coarseness of your hair.

If you are looking for a method to remove facial hair permanently, try electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process by which facial hair is removed using electrical currents. A trained professional, often referred to as an electrologist or electrolysist, must perform this procedure. They take a metal probe and insert it into an individual hair follicle. The electrical current is then delivered to the follicle, destroying it. One the procedure is complete; the hair is removed with sterile forceps. Each hair follicle must be treated individually. The discomfort of this process varies among clients. Some have reported feeling a slight pinprick and some have reported a more painful feeling. As with many medical procedures, there is a chance of scarring, although it is minimal if you are using a well-trained electrologist. But, immediately after a hair follicle is treated, there may be a small, red lesion, much like an insect bite for a short time.

While electrolysis will permanently remove the hair, it may not be instantaneous. You may have to have several electrolysis treatments to the same hair follicle before the hair is completely removed. This is because your hair cells grow in cycles and electrolysis only works if the hair is in its growth phase. Many electrologists charge by the amount of time it takes to remove the hair. Ten minutes runs about $18 and 30 minutes costs about $34.

Another form of permanent facial hair removal is laser treatments. This is a new technology, only being offered commercially since the mid 1990s. This may also be referred to as phototricholysis or photoepilation. Like electrolysis, this may require several treatments before the hair is removed permanently. The laser light also feels like a pinprick to most patients. However, the laser treatments will not work on blonde, red, or white hairs. It will however work on areas that electrolysis will not, such as the ears and nose. Laser hair treatments for the upper lip normally run about $50 per session as does the chin treatments. If you have facial hair on your cheeks, those treatments are a little more expensive – around $75 per treatment.

If you decide to do electrolysis or laser treatments for your unwanted facial hair, you should always talk to your doctor first about any pre-existing conditions you might have that would make you an unlikely candidate for these treatments. There is no need to be ashamed of having your unwanted facial hair treated. Do some research on the Internet to find the best way for you to have the hair removed. There is no doubt it will make you feel better about yourself.

What Can You Do About Facial Hair Removal?

Nicola Kennedy has written 'What Can You Do About Facial Hair Removal?' and writes "Your face is the first thing that people see. The last thing that you want is to have ugly facial hair causing others to look at you. And, it is just uncomfortable. Is there any solution for facial hair removal? Yes, there are many. You have options to removal much of the hair on your face including your eyebrows, the checks and chin, the upper lip and the nose hair. But, what is the right solution for doing so?

Facial Hair Removal For Men

First and foremost, men have many tools to help them with facial hair removal. For most men, the best method to use is that of shaving. If you are like most men, you realize the benefits of shaving with a good quality razor. You have a large selection of them to choose from as many companies are putting out better and better quality options. And, to make shaving less painful, there are shaving creams and gels that can help to reduce the irritation of the skin. Still, there are other options..

For The Ladies

For ladies who are fighting facial hair removal, there are fewer options but many that will work just fine. Shaving is not a good thing for most women. It can cause great irritation and is not necessary for the fine hair that most women battle. Most women are dealing with unwanted hair on their upper lip or strays here and there. In most cases, they will pluck them to rid them. Yes, it can hurt to do this, but it is a deep method of hair removal that should last several weeks. Still, there are other options available.

Depilatories: These are inexpensive solutions for hair removal of the face. If you are careful, they can be effective at dissolving visible hair. You can do this at home, but you will need to do it each time hair becomes visible.

Lasers? Electrolysis? These are also options. These offer permanent facial hair removal. By destroying the follicle in which hair grows from, the hair will no longer grow. While they can be costly, and may need to be done several times to be effective, they can actually help you to gain permanent hair removal as well as less painful ways of getting it.

Waxing: Ouch! Yes, waxing does hurt a bit but it is a great way of getting hair removal for both men and women. The hair is plucked from the root, which means that it will not grow back for several weeks. You can do this at your home or have a professional help you.

Which is the best option for removing hair from your face? The bottom line is that it is up to you. While not one method is fool proof and right for everyone, most of these methods can be done quite safely and to satisfy just about everyone’s needs.

Facial Hair Removal Tips

Andrea Strachan has written Facial Hair Removal Tips and writes "How bothersome facial hair is, is really a personal matter. The eyebrows, the chin, the upper lip, the hair inside the nose, and the hair that covers the face can all be problematic, especially for women and especially if it's considerably darker than the surrounding skin.

So is there a 'best' way to remove unwanted facial hair? Whether it's truly effective or it's just something that's been passed down through the generations, shaving is the method of choice for today's man for removing unwanted facial hair. Shaving creams, gels, foams and other products facilitate the shaving process and help reduce skin irritation. But for women suffering with unwanted facial hair, their choices are not so obvious..

Women with excessive facial hair usually see it along the upper lip, down the sides of the face, and on the chin. Because facial hair is typically much more than a few wayward hair follicles, plucking these areas isn't an effective method. It's time-consuming and painful! What's needed instead is a method designed for more widespread removal like depilatories and waxing or even electrolysis or laser treatment.

Depilatories are an inexpensive, short-term facial hair removal option. Extreme care must be taken when using on the face as these products can irritate and even burn facial skin. And because depilatories only dissolve visible hair, this method must be repeated frequently as new hair growth appears. The upside is, this process is inexpensive and can be done in the privacy of your own home.

Electrolysis and laser are better options. They're permanent facial hair removal methods and they work by damaging the base of the hair follicle so that hair growth no longer occurs.

Waxing offers many benefits and is the facial hair removal choice of men and women alike. Like with tweezers, when waxing the hair is 'plucked' from its root. This method doesn't damage the actual hair follicle, so new hair growth will continue to occur, but unlike depilatories, new hair growth won't appear on the skin surface as quickly. In fact, it usually isn't visible for several weeks.

Consultation With The Cosmetic Surgeon

Michael Russell has written Consultation With The Cosmetic Surgeon and writes "Once the decision is made, the individual should seek a properly accredited surgeon. At a minimum, the physician's credentials should read American Board of Plastic Surgery Accredited. For the names of properly accredited surgeons in your area, call Directory of Medical Specialists at 1-800-521-8110. Professional societies for cosmetic surgery can also be consulted.

More and more cosmetic surgeons are creating mini-hospitals in their own offices to lower the costs of hospitalization. Therefore, it is important to check with the local hospital association to learn if the doctor is permitted to do a particular surgery in that hospital. It is also important to check the facility. Is it accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery? Does it have cardio respiratory equipment, monitoring for blood pressure, EKG, arterial oxygen tension and pulse? Is there a certified nurse or anesthesiologist to monitor the patient throughout the procedure??

The patient would be well advised to ask about the cost of surgery, additional fees for possible X-rays, other laboratory fees, anesthesia fees if there are any, hospital or operating room fees and other costs. It may come as a shock, but most cosmetic surgeons expect to be paid in full in advance of the operation. Unless the commitment to have the operation is made final by prepayment, cancellations and postponements can accumulate to the point where the surgeon cannot maintain any kind of schedule.

During the consultation, the surgeon will question the patient about her medical history and physical condition. The woman who is not entirely honest or is evasive in her answers is asking for trouble and being unfair to herself and to the doctor. Special problems associated with previous surgery should be described in detail. Any bleeding tendencies should be mentioned. Drug dependencies and the use of any medication must be discussed. A history of hypertension, diabetes, asthma, kidney or heart disease, allergy, or mental illness must be mentioned.

The patient should expect the surgeon to supply detailed answers to questions about the problems ordinarily connected with the particular type of surgery requested, the patient's suitability or unsuitability for it, realistic limitations of the procedure and expectations of the results, potential complications, preparations essential before the surgery is performed, the actual technique by which the surgery is performed and the nature and length of postoperative recovery. It is advisable to come to the consultation with the questions written down and noting the answers is helpful for future reference, especially if more than one surgeon is to be consulted.

If after this discussion, the patient wishes to proceed with the surgery and the surgeon feels she is a suitable candidate for it, photographs will be taken either during the first visit or during a subsequent preoperative visit. Some surgeons think computerized imaging is helpful, but this is debatable. It is one thing to see an image altered on the screen, but it is better to know that the surgeon can produce it in the living patient. The surgeon evaluates the photographs with the patient at a subsequent visit prior to surgery. It is during this visit that the patient should feel free to ask any and all questions that still remain unanswered.

It must be especially emphasized that the patient should make a determined effort to hear what the surgeon says to her. There are patients whose anxiety about the procedure or the presence of a physician prevents them from hearing anything that is said to them. This has been called the "white coat syndrome". It is recommended that the patient take notes during the consultation.

The ABC's of Saline and Silicone Gel Breast Implants

Chris Tiemann has written The ABC's of Saline and Silicone Gel Breast Implants and writes "Below is your guideline to all of the information you could possibly need about types of breast implants including saline, silicone, cohesive, gummybear, round, anatomical, high profile, low profile and moderate profile.

Here are 5 basic questons to answer before you choose an implant:

1. What fill?
2. What size?
3. What shape?
4. What surface?
5. What Profile / Projection?

1. Breast Implant Fill - Saline or Silicone?
Women today have options in breast implant fill. The first implants were filled with silicone gel. As breast implants evolved, saline (salt water) became an accepted alternative fill to silicone. Silicone can look and feel more like a real breast. Whether filled with silicone or salt water, the shell of both types is made of a firmer, silicone elastomer..

In 1992, FDA Commissioner David Kessler decided that the safety of silicone breast implants had not been established. The FDA then removed silicone breast implants from the market. Since 1992, silicone gel-filled implants have been available only to breast reconstruction patients and patients undergoing breast revision surgery. In order to receive silicone implants, women must be enrolled in clinical trials. The current ban on silicone implants may soon be lifted.

Saline Implants Silicone Implants

2. Breast Implant Size – What is right for you?

How big your breasts going to be after surgery depend on primarily two size issues:

1) How big are you now?

2) What size implant will you choose? Your doctor will discuss other non-size factors.

Methods of choosing implant size.

Don't choose your own cc volume. Most patients may not understand all of the variables (ribcage size, chest shape, existing breast volume) that will dictate what a given implant size will do for them. Your plastic surgeon has years of training and experience to rely helping you decide on the right size implant and fill. Choose the right Breast Implant from among the manufacturer's specifications, with your Surgeon to create a fit and size that is custom to your body type.

3. Breast Implant Shape - Round or Anatomical / Teardrop

Now that you have the right size picked out, do you want round or anatomical (also known as shaped or "tear drop") breast implants? Anatomical implants are meant to mimic the slope of a natural breast. However, a round implant when not lying down, takes on basically the same shape.

Round Implants.

What's natural looking? Round implants, placed under the muscle may have a more natural appearance than shaped/contour implants which can appear somewhat elongated in appearance in some women. Shaped implants tend to remain stationary, so they stay in the same place. When a woman lies down, round implants on the other hand, settle back evenly, like normal breasts. When a woman stands up, the saline goes to the bottom of the implants because of gravity, and the implants assume a natural teardrop shape anyway.

Anatomical/ Teardrop.

These are all terms used to describe an implant that is manufactured to be pre-shaped. Unlike a round implant, a "shaped" implant by design has a top and a bottom (it is tear drop shaped). These have a textured surface to avoid the implant flipping, leaving the implant upside down and misshapen in appearance. (This can be corrected but it is not a usual occurrence.) Unlike round implants, a teardrop implant will maintain the same shape lying down, which can appear unnatural in some women.

Round Breast Implants Shaped Breast Implant

4. Breast Implant Surface -Textured Surface or Smooth Surface.

You've picked out a round or anatomical implant. You can choose a smooth surface breast implant or a textured surface breast implant.

Textured Implants.

Why do some implants have textured surfaces? All types of solutions have been attempted for decades to prevent scar tissue from becoming unacceptably hard around the breast implant. The body causes scar tissue to form around any foreign object in the body. The formation of scar tissue is known as capsular contracture when it becomes painful or unacceptably firm. Textured surface implants are an attempt to solve this problem. By adding a textured surface, manufacturers hope to prevent scar tissue fibers from lying down uniformly.

According to a number of studies, a textured surface is not likely to reduce the risk of capsular contracture but other studies do find a reduction in contracture. Ask your doctor what his or her experience has been and what is best for you. Unfortunately, the same characteristics of a textured surface that may cause the scar tissue to form erratically around the textured implant. This may cause the implant to appear rippled in appearance. Furthermore, textured implants often have thicker shells and may be firmer in appearance and palpability.

Smooth Surface Implants.

Most breast implants have a smooth surface. Since there is little consensus on whether textured implants will actually reduce the rate of contracture significantly enough to warrant other potential disadvantages discussed above, many doctors prefer to use smooth, round implants. Most often, implants are placed under the muscle in order to potentially reduce the incidence of capsular contracture.

5. Breast Implant Profile - Low, Moderate, High, or Moderate Plus.

Until recently, most patients never discussed profile with their plastic surgeons. If you chose a certain size implant, you would receive a determined amount of forward projection from that size implant. Now, you can choose an implant size and, if you like, have that size implant stick out more, or less than the base diameter would usually dictate. This works well for certain body types. Note the different heights below. For a woman with a very narrow frame, a moderate or low profile implant might result in a desired size, but may be too wide and carry the implant too far to the cleavage and underarm. By using a high profile implant, this patient can get the larger implant he/she desires. By the same token, a wide framed patient may find that in order to adequately cover the natural diameter of their breast size, the desired implant would have far too much projection. A low or moderate profile might work better. Your plastic surgeon can help you choose.

Low Profile Implants.

These breast implants have less projection per measurement of base diameter than a moderate profile breast implant.

Moderate(Medium) Profile Implants.

This breast implant profile is the "normal" profile.

High Profile Implants.

These breast implants have more projection per measurement of base diameter than a moderate profile breast implant. An added benefit of the high profile is that in order to create the profile, the side wall of the implant has more height, which may reduce visible rippling.

Moderate Plus Profile.

Both saline and silicone also includes this profile that is between moderate and high profile(limited).

Perfect Breast Implants

Adnan Muzzaffar has written Perfect Breast Implants and writes "Breast augmentation is reported as the most common surgery done by women in United States. This is based on the statistics in the year 2002 where more than 200,000 women underwent this operation.

Breast implants are used in breast augmentation procedures. Breast augmentation procedures are usually done to increase the breast size or reconstruct the breast. Currently, there are two types of implants filler available in the market now. The first type of breast implant used is saline. Saline is a silicon rubber shield, which contains sterile saline liquid. This is the only filler available in the United States. However, further research is done to get breast implant fillings.

Another type of breast implant, which is very popular and most talked-about, is silicone. Currently, more than 60 countries are using silicone as their major breast implants. In these countries, 90 to 95 percent of the breast augmentation surgery is done using silicone implants. However, its usage is restricted under Food and Drug Administration (FDA) science advisory panel. Only two manufacturers have are recommended by the FDA science advisory panel. The manufacturers are Inamed Corp and Mentor Corp..

Average price for breast augmentation surgery can be from $5,000 to $8,000 for every operation. This is the rate given according to American Society for Plastic Surgeons. However, specific breast procedures cost more than this. The amount posted above is for not only the surgery but also cover pre- and post-operative care, medications, anesthetics, surgical facility fees and of course, the breast implants itself. Hence, do not be surprised for the huge price because it comes in a whole package. In addition to that, the price for breast implant surgeries also depends on the reputation and the expert level of the surgeon. The bigger the name of a surgeon, the bigger the sum you will have to bear.

Hence, you have to worry if you saw advertisements offering breast augmentation surgery at low prices. There is a huge chance that you might be ripped off in the sense of being forced to pay hidden cost during the procedure itself. It might start very tempting but can burden you at the end of the day. This is because cutting the cost of the surgery can also mean that the quality is also going to be reduced to a low level. This is very dangerous since breast implants are something you will put into your body.

What Are the Risks for Breast Implants?

Dagfinn Rognerud 'What Are the Risks for Breast Implants?' and writes "There are more and more women than ever getting breast implants. These numbers keep increasing each year as well and the ages of the women that are receiving the implants are getting younger and younger too. There are many pre adult girls that are getting the permission from their parents to have this serious procedure done.

The increase of the health risks for breast implants does not seem to have any affect of the women that are getting them put in. Most of these women only see that they are going to have a sexier appearance and forget about what they could be doing to their bodies. Although there have been many successful breast implants surgeries, there have also been a few that have had awful outcomes that have meant serious heath effects for the women..

There have been many women that have had their implants break inside them. This has led to the women getting them taken out or replaced. Every single breast implant surgery has risks regardless of the material that they are made of. Women that have the older style of implants should start to think about getting them replaced with the new material that is used in the breast implants.

The surgical risks of breast implants include infection or forming a hecatomb. The risk of one or even both of the implants will have to be removed involves another surgery and the of course the costs of the surgery will still apply.

Other important complications can stem from breast implants. Some women will lose feeling in their breasts, while others will become very sensitive. These problems can interfere with sexual pleasure for the woman. Not only are their serious health’s factors there are also some cosmetic problems to deal with. Sometimes the outcome of the breast implants does not turn out to be what they have expected. Some women are very disappointed with the results of the surgery.

It is also said that breast implants will interfere with the detection of breast cancer. The implants can obscure the mammography image of a tumor. Implants have the potential to delay the diagnosis of breast cancer. Mammograms tend to be less accurate if the woman had the breast implants. The bigger the implants, the harder it will be to detect the size and portion of the tumor. This is going to harm the women because they will not be detected early if they do have any cancerous tumors. By the time they are found, it may be too late for the proper treatment.

It is important to at least know and understand all of the risks that are involved with breast implants. Women need to know what the potential dangers are so that they can make an informed decision about whether or not to have the breast implant surgery.

Saline and Silicon Breast Implants

Keith George has written Saline and Silicon Breast Implants and writes "Breast implants are used to facilitate women to achieving their desired breast size and shape. Many women around the world are dissatisfied with their breast sizes.They often search a way out to fulfill their aspirations. There are number of ways one can go for a breast implant.

These implants are of ‘saline-filled’, ‘silicone gel-filled’, ‘silicone-saline’ combination, ‘PVP-Hydrogel’ and ‘plant oil filled’ procedures. Sometimes you can go for rounded breast implant or anatomic breast implant. While the rounded implant gives a fuller upper chest and cleavage, the anatomic (often called teardrop) implants give your upper chest a more natural looking.

You may feel smooth or textured on the outer surface of the breast implants. Though there may be some adverse effects after being breast implanted, the textured implants help reduce the negative effects of capsule formation around the implant. Various surgical techniques are also used in breast implants. You must know that breast implants come in many sizes depending on your aspiration and physical conditions..

How are the different types of implants?

In the ‘saline-filled’ process of breast implants saline or sterile salt water is surgically inserted which allows some adjustment in sizes of your breasts. Many plastic surgeons believe that this type of implants tend to have a higher rate of ‘leaking and deflation’ than ‘silicone gel’ implants procedure. But don’t worry; if the saline leaks into the body, it is absorbed without any harm. In the silicone gel breast implant procedure an elastomer envelope is filled with a clear, sticky, thick ‘jelly-like’ form of silicone that closely resembles the consistency of breast tissue. Silicone breast implants are widely used by plastic and ‘gender-reassignments’ surgeons throughout the world. Incase of plant oil-filled breast implants natural vegetable oil or triglyceride oil (called Trilucent) is filled that offers greater safety to women.

Breast implant has become one of the most frequently performed cosmetic plastic surgeries for body beautification. Breast implant technically known as ‘augmentation mammoplasty’, is a surgical procedure to augment the size and shape of a woman’s breast. Your breast implant expenditure may vary according to the options you choose to implant. Average breast implant costs ranges from $4,000 to $9,000 per procedure. It is worthy to discuss many things including breast implant financing during consultations with your surgeons.

Breast Implant risks

Women generally face breast implant problems such as hardening of the breast, capsule formation or a more rounded appearance after implantation. Some of the possible breast implant problems are surgically related, while others have to do with the implant itself. Breast implant problems that can be serious in nature do not occur very often.

Breast Implant Considerations

Dennis Harris has written Breast Implant Considerations and writes "Women are often considering how they could change the size or shape of some parts of their bodies. They will often think about how they can improve the looks of their breasts which either may not be full enough in their opinion or be unfavorably changing with age. A breast implant surgery, which is sometimes referred to as breast augmentation, could be an option that these women might consider. They might feel that breast enhancement would help them to feel more confident about how they look if their breasts could become larger.

The breast holds milk producing glands as well as connective tissue. Fat makes up much of the breast’s tissue. A breast augmentation involves placing an implant behind what tissue the woman already has. The implant would be placed on top of the pectoral muscle which lies beneath the breast tissue. The result is that the breast looks and feels larger..

A complete examination of the breasts by a doctor is necessary before making the decision to have breast implant surgery. If any problems should be discovered in the breasts then the surgery might need to be postponed or canceled. If the person does decide to have the surgery, they would have to be put under anesthesia so that the procedure is not painful. The breast augmentation commonly takes no more than a couple of hours.

The actual procedure of breast augmentation may slightly differ depending on the particular shape of each woman’s body. The physician will choose a location either under the lower breast, on the armpit or around the nipple to make the cut which allows for the implant. The incision should not be very visible after the breast enlargement surgery. The different locations of the cut are all effective for this type of cosmetic surgery.

The surgeon will insert the implant in one of two places once the incision has been made. Sometimes the augmentation is placed just beneath the breast tissue. Another option is to put part of the pectoral muscle in front of the implant. The breast will be a larger size no matter which method is used. The decision on which implant to use and where to place it exactly depends on how much larger the woman wants her breasts. This will be discussed with the doctor prior to having the surgery.

A certain amount of time will be required for proper healing following the breast implant surgery. During the healing the breast areas should not be strained or this may cause complications. A scar may be seen where the physician made the incision but after twelve months or so it should be less visible. There is normally not a cosmetic problem as a result of the incision.

Breast implants are becoming more popular options for women who desire to improve the way their breasts look. This type of surgery may help these women to feel more self-confident about their selves in some way.

Types of Breast Implants

Tara Pingle has written Types of Breast Implants and writes "Breast implants vary in several different ways:
· Filling
· Shape
· Texture

Once you have chosen to have a breast augmentation surgery, you must also decide what type of implant will suit your needs best. To help you with this decision, the plastic surgeon, like Dr. Hendricks in Newport Beach, CA, will work closely with you.

Although the decision to undergo breast enhancement surgery is very personal, your plastic surgeon can provide you with much needed help when making various breast augmentation choices..

“I provide high-quality, compassionate care to all my patients,” says Dr. Douglas Hendricks, “using scientifically proven, modern breast enhancement techniques, I help my patients achieve their goals of achieving youthful, healthy, vibrant appearances.”

All available breast implants have at least two things in common: a shell and a filling material. Breast implant shells are made of silicone elastomer, with the exception of polypropylene implants, which are silicone free.

Although you may have heard about saline and silicone breast implants, the difference between the two is the material used to fill the silicone elastomer shell.

· Saline Breast Implants – are filled with a sterile saltwater solution; much like what you would receive to treat dehydration in the hospital.
· Silicone Breast Implants – are pre-filled with a silicone gel.

Saline breast implants are not only completely safe, but they are also the most common form of breast implant. If they were to rupture, the body has no difficulty absorbing the solution because saline breast implants contain just a sterile saltwater solution.

Silicone breast implants contain a silicone gel, and they are pre-filled so that chances of allowing the silicone gel enter the body while performing the breast enhancement surgery is much lessened. Also, the incision made during breast enhancement surgery with silicone breast implants is larger; to accommodate the size of the pre filled implant.

Saline breast implants can also be selected either pre-filled or filled after being placed. The incision made for breast enlargement surgery with an empty breast implant is much smaller because the breast implant is filled after the surgery is complete.

Silicone breast implants are now being filled with a cohesive gel. This means that if the implant were to rupture, the gel sticks to itself, like bread dough.

At the moment, saline implants are widely available, while silicone implants can only be placed through plastic surgeons participating in cohesive gel silicone breast implant surveys. Saline breast implants, however, are available in different shapes and textures.

Anatomical, or contoured implants and traditional, or round, implants can both be used to give a breast augmentation surgery patient the results they are looking for.

· Contoured Breast Implants – are shaped like a teardrop, and were originally developed for women who needed breast reconstruction. · Round Breast Implants – are more common, and can move freely inside the pocket made by the plastic surgeon behind the breast.

Although round breast implants almost always take the shape of a teardrop after the healing process has completed, some women prefer contoured breast implants because they mimic the natural shape of the breast.

Round breast implants are shaped like a globe; after they’ve been placed, they can rotate within the breast pocket created by the plastic surgeon, without distorting the shape of the breast.

There are also differences in the surgeries involving round or contoured breast implants. During a breast augmentation surgery with a contoured breast implant, the plastic surgeon must make a more precise pocket for the contoured breast implant so that it does not rotate, and distort the shape of the breast, after it has been placed.

Contoured breast implants are also textured so that there is less chance of rotation within the breast pocket. This means that the shell of the implant is thicker to compensate for the texture.

Breast implants can also be selected on the texture of the outer shell. Textured implants were developed to decrease the chance of capsular contracture.

· Textured Breast Implants – surface of the implants is marred to feel similar to sand paper; the shell is thicker to compensate for the marring.
· Smooth Breast Implants – surface is smooth so that the breast implant can move freely within the pocket formed behind the breast; smooth, round, saline breast implants are the most common form of breast implant.

It has still not been determined whether or not textured implants actually lessen the chance of capsular contracture or not.

When deciding on your breast augmentation surgery, it is important to consider all aspects of the procedure. The breast implant is one of the most important parts of this. The breast implant is what actually provides you with the enhancement and it is placed behind your breast. Not only can its size be selected to give you the appearance you want, but also the shape, texture, and what it is filled with.

If you have decided that you would like breast augmentation surgery, but would like more information on the types of breast implants, contact an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Hendricks in Newport Beach, California.

Breast Implant Augmentation Surgery: Tips To Follow After You Have Your Operation

Polly Summer has written Breast Implant Augmentation Surgery: Tips To Follow After You Have Your Operation and writes "Make sure you have a post-operative instruction list from your surgeon as you may not remember everything that you are told prior to surgery. You should wait approximately four weeks after surgery to purchase new bras. Have a hair appointment a few days after surgery to save you having to wash and style your own hair (which involves lifting your arms up and can be painful).

Take photographs of your new breasts at regular intervals after surgery to track their progress! It is common to experience some bloating after breast augmentation surgery. Drink plenty of water and try some gentle movement to help shift the fluid.

You may experience some low mood for the weeks following your operation. This is normal and will subside. Talk to your doctor about the signs of infection, and be vigilant. If you see any signs of infection, it must be treated quickly, so examine yourself every day and do not delay on seeking medical help if you suspect an infection..

You can expect some itching: this is the nerve endings regenerating. Applying ice can help soothe this. You may also experience nausea and constipation. Natural remedies include ginger to ease nausea, and Butternut-Cascara to treat constipation.

Overly-sensitive nipples often result from breast implant surgery. Use moisturizer once any areola incisions have healed, and protect with soft cotton. Wear light, silky tops until the sensitivity dies down.

Be prepared for your menstrual cycle to occur irregularly for up to three months after your operation. Talk to your doctor about scar management. Scarring can sometimes be reduced with gentle massage and it is advisable not to tan any scars for a year.

Getting up from a seated position can be tricky soon after getting breast implants. Follow this advice: shuffle yourself to the end of the couch, put your feet at least shoulder width apart on the floor with your toes pointing outwards. Keep your back straight and stand up by straightening your knees. Most importantly: hold onto those breasts!

Are Breast Implants Right for You?

Sara Goldstein has written "Are Breast Implants Right for You?" and writes "Breast implants with breast augmentation can provide you with a curvaceous body contour and a boost in self-confidence, but many women who are considering breast implants are wondering: “Are breast implants right for me?”

Dr. O’Toole, a plastic surgeon in Pasadena, California says, “Before choosing to receive breast implants, a woman should evaluate her breasts, determine what aspects of them she would like to change, and what size breasts she would like to have.”

Breast implants give hundreds of thousands of women each year the body and breast size they have been searching for. Of these women, over 90% are so satisfied with their results, that they would suggest other women also get breast implants..

Although many women have chosen to get breast implants, and are extremely happy with their breast implant results, breast implants are not necessarily right for every woman. The ideal breast implant candidate is a woman who has:

* Breasts she is unsatisfied with
* Good overall health
* Realistic expectations
* No breast disease
* Drooping breasts
* Sagging breasts
* Elastic Skin
* Extra skin or breast tissue
* Fully developed breasts
* Asymmetrical breasts
* Breasts that did not develop past puberty
* Breasts that have lost volume after weight loss or pregnancy
* Misshapen Breasts

Breast implants can be a wonderful enhancement to your body, but each woman’s body, breasts, and skin are different. This means that each breast implant procedure is different and provides different results.

“Breast implants come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and textures,” says Dr. O’Toole, “prior to your breast implant procedure, you should work with your plastic surgeon to determine exactly what results you would like to see.”

The best way to find out if breast implants are right for you is to contact an experienced plastic surgeon and schedule an initial consultation. During your initial breast implant consultation your surgeon will work with you to determine if breast implants are right for you, and if so, what your options are.

Why Women Want Breast Implants

Dagfinn Rognerud has written Why Women Want Breast Implants and writes "There are many reasons why women today want to have breast implants placed in their bodies. There are some reasons that are more complicated than others, but for any reason, women need to make sure that this is the right choice for them and for their mind. Not all women get the breast implants for their own reasons; some are pressured into looking bigger and more perfect.

There are certain pressures that are put upon women today and their body. There is a growing need for the society to insinuate that women should have perfect bodies and look the way that we think that they should. This belief over time will have a lasting affect on women and the way that they see their body. Many women want to have a perfect body, yet the cost of getting one, may be too much for anyone to handle.

Some women are just not happy with their chest and the way that they look. Many women want to have bigger and fuller breasts. They want to have the breast implant surgery so that they will feel and look better in their minds. This is a decision that they make on their own and a decision that they have though long and hard about..

Other women want to please their partner or society. These women go to great lengths to make they appear as perfect as they can. When a woman wants to impress or hang on to a spouse or partner, they may decide to go the whole way and have breast implants put in. These women have low self-esteem and would stop at nothing to make other people happy. For these women, many doctors may think twice about place implants in them because they are not doing it for their own satisfaction.

Many times women need and depend on their bodies for earning a paycheck. These women work in the entertainment or fashion world. Some women that work in the Las Vegas casinos and shows need to have larger breasts in order to play the parts. These women will stop at nothing to ensure that they have what it takes. Other women in the entertainment industry are dancers or even strippers and defiantly depend on their bodies for their jobs. Breast implants may be the only way to compete with the new and upcoming stars.

Other women need to have larger breasts because they are in the fashion industry. Some models want to have the bigger breasts so that they are chosen for the sexy spreads like lingerie shows and other important jobs.

Whatever the reasons, women need to be aware of all the physical and emotional problems that can result from breast implants. It has to be a decision that is thought out and organized. No one should ever get these implants to make someone else happy.

What Is Acne Laser Treatment?

Paton Jackson has written "What Is Acne Laser Treatment?" and writes "Acne laser treatment is a method that has helped millions to get rid of acne. Each year, individuals find out that the over the counter medications that they get at their local drug store just do not provide enough help to them. They have likely tried several products and can not find method to get rid of acne. Acne laser treatment can actually help to stop acne once and for all for many individuals.

How Does It Work?

Acne laser treatment is just what it sounds like. The technician will use a very powerful and small laser to effectively trigger the acne. Usually, the procedure will be done because the acne is being caused, at least in part, by over producing oils in the skin. The laser will get to these glands that are under the skin and causing the oils and destroy them. While this seems harsh, laser acne treatment is virtually painless. There are no ramifications to having these glands destroyed either. Once the glands stop producing oils, the bacteria that cause acne will not have an optimal place to grow. This in turn effectively stops acne..

It is important to know that in most causes acne treatments will not necessary cure the acne that is already on your face or body. This will usually be done with antibiotics. Once the oils slow or stop though, there will be fewer outbreaks of acne on the face or body once these heal.

Scar Treatment

Another option for the use of acne laser treatment is that in which the acne scars can be removed. This very powerful laser can actually remove the top layers of your skin near and on the scar. When new skin grows back, it will be healthy and scars are either gone or they are not as visible. Acne scar laser treatment is fast becoming a way to get rid of acne scars that have been on a person’s body for years.

In either treatment, laser acne treatment can be quite effective. In some cases, there will be the need for several treatments to be done, though. The only bad part of acne laser treatment is that it is not necessarily cheap. With the several treatments that may be necessary, it may be quite expensive. Yet, even with that said, the results for laser treatments are amazing for many.

Laser Acne Treatment The Whole Truth

John Wellington has written Laser Acne Treatment The Whole Truth and writes "Laser acne treatment has been used to eliminate scars resulting from acne as well as a method to clear up existing acne. Scars are common in people who have suffered from severe or cystic acne in the past. Acne scars are difficult to treat and this often results in unhappiness if a scar treatment fails. Laser acne treatment has become increasingly popular as dermatologists have worked toward advancement.

There has been controversy over the safety and effectiveness of this procedure as used to clear up existing acne. It is still a fairly new procedure so long-term negative effects have not been determined. It does benefit people who do not want to risk prolonged use of antibiotics for their acne. For some people, laser acne treatment does not work as desired. In others, it has been a great success. The technique involves the application of a yellow light to destroy acne causing bacteria. The light works with a substance in the bacteria to create the oxygen your skin needs. A laser has also proven to increase the growth of natural collagen to prevent scars from forming. A V-beam is a laser that is designed to lower the appearance of redness in acne or its remaining scars..

Laser resurfacing of the skin is performed after the scars are present. This is usually done for people who have endured severe cystic acne in the past. Cystic acne will often rupture or burst and result in permanent scarring. This is because this type of acne starts from deep below the surface of the skin. Laser acne treatment for scars is expensive and sometimes requires more than one treatment. The actual procedure entails the application of topical anesthetic and then a laser vaporizing the layers of damaged skin. This allows for new cells to form so smoother, younger-looking skin can appear. However, in some cases, it caused the skin pigment to decrease and make the face appear much lighter than the rest of the body.

The advantages of laser acne treatment for scars is that it is easier to be control the depth of treatment than most other treatments. Some people undergoing this procedure only have surface scars and do not require deep treatment to fix. Other people have very deep scars and need a deeper laser penetration. Laser acne treatment is the most successful way to treat your scars uniquely.

The recovery period for laser acne treatment all depends on the amount of treatment you required. Most people will experience swelling and some redness. The swelling usually goes away a lot faster than the redness, which can last for weeks after the treatment. Commonly, your doctor will also give you a topical ointment to apply to your skin following the laser treatment.

An additional advantage to laser treatment on acne is that it could smooth wrinkles. You could get the effect of expensive Botox injections as a side effect to getting rid of the appearance of acne scars. The reason is because the laser increases the production of collagen in your face. So while you get clear skin, you are also getting a rejuvenated and younger effect as well.

Save Money On Acne Cleansers

Naweko San-Joyz has written "Save Money On Acne Cleansers" and writes "My first education on how to buy acne skin care products came from Johnson & Johnson and Noxema. They had their models wash their clear complexions with the perfect acne cleanser and then, once the suds vanished, the models were dancing around so happy not having to worry about zits.

Alas, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and most other acne washes do not wash away zits.

One trap to fall into with cleansers is over cleansing, which can aggravate acne. The next trap, which is common, is to expect too much from one product.

For example, benzoyl peroxide works by destroying excess acne provoking bacteria. Salicylic acid exfoliates the skin and clears the pores, which reduces the chances for waste buildup in the pores and producing a zit..

If you have severe acne like I did, over the counter acne washes cannot provide the amount of bacteria control and exfoliation you need to keep acne at bay.

It's like trying to empty a bathtub with a teaspoon instead of just unplugging the water clog. Severe acne requires regulating the skin on an internal and external level. You can regulate the growth of excess bacteria on the face and body in a number of ways.

1. Decrease or control your stress response.

Stress sets off a series of hormonal reactions that can ultimately produce excess oil on the face and provide an ideal environment for excess acne-causing bacteria growth on the face.

2. Moderate sugar consumption.

Excess sugar, like stress, moves the hormones to excrete more oil on the face. It's not the chocolate the causes the acne, just the collective hormonal response of a sugar overload.

3. Take a multi-vitamin.

It may sound silly, or trivial, but taking a multivitamin can provide vital nutrients that boosts the immune system and help you manage stress better. Collectively, strong immunity and stress control help reduce acne breakouts.

I learned these three points the hard way. Trial and error and buying a lot of acne skin care products. If your at a loss about choosing an acne product, I can only say this, high price does not guarantee high quality. When I used Oxy 10 for instance, I found it worked just as well as products that costs 5 times as much. One drawback is that these drying products are not ideal for maturing skin. If you are battling acne and wrinkles, I suggest using essential oils to combat acne flair-ups such as tea tree or eucalyptus oil.

On a final note, if you've been using an acne cleanser for months with no noticeable improvement in your skin, I suggest trying to regulate you skin's condition from the inside, with sound nutrition and relaxation.

Health author and Stanford University graduate Naweko San-Joyz lovingly writes from her home in San Diego. Her works include “Acne Messages: Crack the code of your zits and say goodbye to acne” (ISBN: 0974912204) and the upcoming work “Skinny Fat Chicks, Why we’re still not getting this dieting thing” (ISBN: 0974912212) for release in June of 2005.

Finding Acne Skin Care Products That Work For You

Peter Crump has written Finding Acne Skin Care Products That Work For You and writes "Each one of us is different, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the acne skin care products that work for each of us. Acne can be an upsetting condition, and finding a product that makes a real difference to the quality of our skin can be a slow process of trial and error. But while each of us will react differently to different acne skin care products, experiencing different levels of improvement in our skin, it can be heartening to hear of acne products that have worked for others. So if you are drowning in an overwhelming sea of different choices, here are some suggestions to get you started from some of the top acne products rated by real acne sufferers.

There are two main types of acne product – oral medication, such as Accutane, or the contraceptive pill that tackle the problem from the inside, and topical solutions that work on the surface of your skin, such as various facial cleanser products. The latter are usually your first line of defence with acne, and there are many great acne products around that can make a real difference to the quality of your skin. Some of the products available can be overly astringent, which can dry your skin excessively, in turn causing the production of more of the sebum that causes spots, so using a milder product is wise, at least to start with. Many of the top acne products contain either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, both of which can be very effective in the treatment of acne, so look for acne skin care products that contain one of these ingredients..

Acne sufferers who have experienced dramatic improvement in their skin recommend the use of a good facial cleanser product as the first step in their skin care routine. Sufferers found improvement when using products such as Avon’s O2 cleanser, Clinique’s acne skin care range, Paula’s Choice products, Aveeno and Mary Kay’s Timewise or Velocity ranges. Individual blemishes respond well to topical solutions that can be used after facial cleansers, such as blemish sticks. Some sufferers also suggest the use of facemasks or peels, which can help remove impurities from your skin.

The wide variety of acne skin care products available today can be your tool in the fight against acne. You don’t have to suffer anymore – you just have to find the one that works for you.

A Look at Laser Acne Treatment

Seth Miller has written A Look at Laser Acne Treatment and writes "Laser acne treatment has been around for a few years now, and it is quickly replacing more traditional forms of acne removal and prevention. As antibiotics become increasingly ineffective due to overuse, more and more people are opting for this new technique. During laser resurfacing, a doctor holds a laser pen just above the acne or acne scar tissue and waves the concentrated beam of light back and forth, vaporizing only the unwanted tissue and creating a new surface for skin cell growth. Thus the term “laser resurfacing”. New collagen actually forms after laser treatment. (Collagen is a protein in the skin's connective tissue that helps give the skin its texture.)

Although laser resurfacing is safe and painless in almost all cases, some post-procedural bruising and swelling are normal. In most cases, these side effects persist for seven to ten days. Wait until this passes before applying make-up..

Currently there are no federal restrictions on who can perform laser resurfacing; regulations only affect the laser manufacturers themselves. There are many types of lasers for many different purposes, so be sure to use a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Be sure to ask where your doctor was trained to use the laser equipment and whether your doctor rents or owns his or her laser equipment. Ask to see before and after pictures of the doctor's cases, and find out how many different types of lasers the doctor owns and how often each piece of equipment is used.

Many doctors feel that laser resurfacing isn’t meant for dark skin because it alters the color of skin too dramatically and unpredictably. Others believe that in the hands of a very experienced surgeon, people with darker skin tones can benefit.

Lasers acne treatment is much more invasive than non-ablative lasers. They remove by erosion, melting, evaporation, or vaporization. Ablative lasers are not recommended for use on darker skin colors.

Laser resurfacing costs upwards of $2,500 for a full face, versus $1,000 for other types of scar and acne removal. Consult with an experienced aesthetic dermatologist and laser surgeon to determine what it best for you.

They contain no harmful chemicals that may bring long term negative effects. There are a variety of skincare products available, and many of these products are made of a lot of chemical ingredients that can sometimes be very harmful not only for sensitive skin but for all skin types. The skin is a very sensitive organ, and it requires the utmost care when maintaining its hygiene.

It is recommended that natural skincare products be used instead of skincare products that are manufactured with harmful chemicals. Most natural skincare products are made with 100% natural ingredients and no preservatives. Some of manufacturers of natural skincare products do, however, add preservatives. Natural skincare products are normally made from aloe vera, Dead Sea salt and sand, flowers, and herbs..

Aloe vera is particularly very well known because its effects are clearly visible within a matter of weeks. Even the Dead Sea products are of great demand in many European countries and have excellent cleansing properties. You can also purchase fantastic and highly rejuvenating natural skincare products that are ayurvedic in nature from many online ayurvedic stores.
