Okay I’m wondering if laser hair removal is really safe especially on your face? because I’ve heard many different thing about it, some good and some really bad so I’m really confused over what the truth really is.

Laser hair removal works by sending a targeted pulse laser light directly into your hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the melanin (or pigment) in your hair and converted into heat, permanently disabling your hair follicles from growing new hair.

Laser hair removal technology has been in use for decades and is considered both safe and permanent by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Normal side effects include itching during treatment and redness or irritation for up to 3 days. More rare side effects are crusting from ingrown hairs, bruising, or temporary pigment change. Rare side effects are usually caused by inexperienced or inattentive technicians.

We have performed thousands of treatments on numerous clients and can proudly say the vast majority are happy with the procedure. As a suggestion, when choosing a laser hair removal provider, we recommend you consider the following factors:

1) The clinic/salon: most reputable providers will offer free consultations in order to best determine your treatment. Choose a place that is clean, up-to-date and is focused on your treatment rather than sales. Since consultations are usually free, visit a number of places as prices, service, and experience can vary significantly.

2) The laser specialist: Not all specialists are created equal. Choose a specialist based on their knowledge, experience and care. Ask a lot of questions to get a feel for your specialist and so that the specialist can better understand your needs. Within a chain clinic, experience can vary wildly (there is often a lot of employee turnover within chains) and even dermatologists may decide to add a laser to their current practice, but lack the specialized knowledge necessary to use the laser to effectively treat your skin. Hair Removal is not taught in medical schools; you want someone with specific knowledge on laser hair removal.

3) The laser: Not every laser is effective for every skin type. Alexandrite and diode lasers are effective when the skin is light and the hair is dark. Nd:YAG lasers are best for darker skin types. And make sure the laser is up to date. As with most technology, laser effectiveness has much improved in the last few years. Look for precision cooling of the skin prior to laser application and exact delivery of an effective energy beam deep into the tissue.

Many teenagers are all too aware of what Acne is, just incase you have forgotten, or just blocked the whole experience out of your memory, acne is an inflamed skin condition. It is so damaging for the lives of teenagers because it appears as hundreds of spots on their face, and also on upper body parts. This condition does not only affect teenagers however.

People think that the excess secretion of oils by the skin glands causes acne, which is actually an inflammation of the sebaceous glands and the follicles of the hair. Though almost everyone experiences some form of acne during some time of their life, acne varies in form, appearance and severity from person to person.

As we have already mentioned acne is caused by the excess secretion of oil. The hormone androgen is responsible for the amount of oil secreted by our body tissues, therefore the underlying reason for acne could be an excess of androgen. Acne is categorized into different types, Juvenile Acne, Acne Vulgarias, Chronic Acne, Pickers Acne, Cosmetic and fringe Acne, Body Acne and Back Acne.

Acne is not particularly threatening, it is just a skin disorder that normally clears up all by itself. Therefore it does not usually require any costly medical treatments. Most outbreaks of mild acne can be treated successfully by applying some remedies in the comfort of your own home:

First you need a good Acne Cleanser, Milk of Magnesia is one such product that is available on the market. This is one of the best known cleansers that helps clear up excess oil, hopefully resolving your acne problem. The solution should be applied to the affected area, and left for around 10 minutes, then it should be rinsed off with warm water. This procedure removes any excess oil from your skin and also unclogs the pores of your skin, normally relieving most forms of mild acne.

Then you should look at removing blackheads, blackheads and acne go hand in hand with one another. Removal of these black heads is a necessary step in the treatment of Acne and for this applying a product like Epsom salt could be considered. A teaspoon of Epsom salt is dissolved in some warm water, this makes a solution which should be amply applied to the affected areas using cotton wool. These solutions help in the easy removal of blackheads.

Lastly you should look at preventing any infections. Acne becomes inflamed, and very sensitive to the touch. It is very important to consider the inflammation, sensitivity and tenderness of the affected areas when treating acne at home. For this add 2 to 3 drops of Tr. of Benzion in a cup of cold water, this solution should then be applied to the affected area and rinsed off with cold water. This is a well known antibacterial solution and so this effectively prevents and cures any minor infections in the affected areas.

If your form of acne is serious then it is best to go to visit your doctor to get it sorted out. If you ever experience any discomfort when using any of these home remedies then it is important to stop using them and consult your doctor.

But ive heard its just like shaving will it make the hair grown back thicker and darker?

should i wax?

shaving does not make the hair grow back thicker. it is the same thickness you just cut it off and it feels stiffer because it’s further down the hairs shaft.

Hair Removal creams work by killing the hair follicles (the root of the hair) and new hair growth will be new hair, not stubble from hair that’s already grown so no; it won’t feel thicker or stiffer like after you shave.

i wax because that pulls the hair follicles out entirely, it lasts much longer than shaving and when hair does grow back it tends to be sparse, soft and thin and it doesn’t have the harsh chemicals that hair removal creams have.

Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer that is directly attributed to asbestos exposure. There are three forms of mesothelioma. These forms are pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma. This devastating cancer attacks the mesothelium, or the protective lining of the lungs, abdominal cavity, and heart respectively.

Of the three forms of mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma is the most common. When asbestos is manufactured, mined or disturbed asbestos fibers are released into the air. Those working with or around asbestos inhale and ingest these fine particles. Over an extended period of time, mesothelioma can take 20 to 60 years to manifest, these asbestos particles can cause normal pleura in the lining of the chest to become abnormal, causing pleural mesothelioma.

Some of the most common symptoms of pleural mesothelioma are persistent cough, shortness of breath, bloody sputum, weight loss, fever, swelling of the face and neck, raspy voice and trouble swallowing. Due to the symptoms of pleural mesothelioma mimicking symptoms of other conditions it may go undiagnosed when the need to start mesothelioma treatment immediately is vital.

After a definitive diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma has been established there are several mesothelioma treatment options that can be undertaken. The type of mesothelioma treatment will depend on several key components. These factors are the extent of the disease, the patient’s history and age, and the location of the tumor.

The most common forms of mesothelioma treatment, for those with pleural mesothelioma, are a pneumonectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, and palliative therapies. One form of mesothelioma treatment is a pneumonectomy, or the removal of the cancerous lung. Depending on the spread of the disease, parts of diaphragm may be removed as well. A pleurectomy may also be used to treat pleural mesothelioma by removing parts of the chest and surrounding tissue. The ability for these procedures to be performed are dependent on the patient’s overall health, spread of the disease, and the amount of asbestos exposure.

Radiation treatment is another form of mesothelioma treatment for those suffering from pleural mesothelioma. Radiation therapy works by placing a radioactive source in the area of disease. The use of radiation has the benefit of destroying cancerous tissue while not exposing healthy cells. This form of mesothelioma treatment can be performed in conjunction with surgery or alone if the individual is to ill for surgery.

Chemotherapy is another common form of mesothelioma treatment for those with pleural mesothelioma. This high toxicity drug is usually administered by injection or in pill form. Some side affects from chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue and weight loss. This form of mesothelioma treatment is not targeted to a particular area like radiation therapy. Therefore, the drugs used have to make their way through the body to the cancerous area or areas. Unfortunately, this has the disadvantage of exposing healthy tissue to the toxicity of the chemotherapy drugs.

Palliative therapies are also used as a form of mesothelioma treatment for those with pleural mesothelioma. This involves removing excess fluid by needle and suction from the affected areas. Drugs are also used in order to keep fluid accumulation under control.

As additional research is performed on pleural mesothelioma more treatment options may become available. Keeping informed of new mesothelioma treatments is paramount if diagnosed with this devastating disease.
