Candela Gentle YAG

Candela Hair Removal

A Bright Future for Removing Unwanted Hair Laser technology has developed dramatically over the last 10 years. Even as recently as the mid 90’s people interested in improving their skin or removing unwanted hair were limited in their choices. As science has expanded our understanding of heat and light, the power of lasers to treat a variety of cosmetic and medical needs has grown dramatically. From LasikTM to laser hair removal, port-wine stain treatment or even tattoo removal, patients around the world are seeing their problems disappear under a tiny beam of light.

Wrinkleness

Skin Tightening

Many people notice signs of aging when skin begins to sag around the face and neck. Laser skin tightening is appropriate for men and women of all skin types and skin tones who wish to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and lengthy recovery times. The most successful laser skin tightening candidates experience permanent results as the collagen under their skin is regenerated, producing a more youthful complexion

Beard Bumps

Hair bumps are a direct result of ingrown hairs and come from several things including: improper shaving, waxing, or tweezing techniques, a dirty barber’s blade, dead skin in the hair follicles, and coarse hair that grows in a tight curl pattern. Ingrown hairs develop at the end of the hair shaft. They have a sharpened edge and attempt to grow straight, however something prevents them from doing so. As a result, they curl back into the same hair follicle. This creates dreadful, ugly, and often confidence destroying facial or razor bumps. Yet, razor bumps are nothing more than an inflammatory response from your body to the infections caused by the ingrown hairs. This inflammatory response or bump can be visually seen as a pustule, mini red bumps, or purple raised bump. The infected areas are often itchy and red, with bumps that spread quickly. The more you scratch your ingrown bumps, the more abrasions you will have. This condition is known as Pseudofolliculitis barbae.

Remedy:

(1) Keep the infected area bacteria-free. You can accomplish this by washing the infected area with a bacteria-killing soap, such as SafeGuard. As with all things, the sooner in the process you start trying to get rid of your face, aftershave, neck, bikini and razor bumps, the quicker they will be gone. The biggest mistake most people make when it comes to face, aftershave, neck, bikini and razor bumps is trying to ignore that they exist. This can prove to be a costly mistake, literally and physically, because ignoring your razor bumps with continuous shaving only allows the infected area to grow larger in size and become more infected.

Age Sun Spot

Age Spots, Sun Spots Liver Spots

Age spots are also known as sun spots, liver spots, lentigos, or lentigines. These lesions are flat, tan, brown, or dark brown spots on sun-exposed skin. As people age, sun spots most commonly appear on the backs of the hands, the forearms, neck, chest, and face. Sun spots are associated with cumulative sun exposure. The pigment producing cells in the skin (called melanocytes) are activated to produce more pigment (melanin) by ultraviolet rays. While these spots are not themselves cancerous, you may be at risk for skin cancer if you have them.

What causes age spots?

Age spots increase with age and with increased sun exposure. They are more common in people who freckle and who burn easily. It is important to know that if you’ve had enough sun to develop age spots, you have a higher risk of developing skin cancer.

What do age spots look like?

Age spots are flat and vary in size from a small pea to a dime. They usually are somewhat round and have irregular borders. They are found on chronically sun-exposed areas such as the shoulders, upper back, face, forearms, and the back of hands.

What treatment options are available for age, sun or liver spots?

The best treatment for age spots is prevention. The key to preventing age spots is sun avoidance and daily sunscreen use. For example, you won’t find age spots on your inner thigh because of minimal or no sun exposure. However, for most of us, it is too late for prevention, and there are a number of treatment options available.

Freckles

Freckles are flat, tanned circular spots that typically are the size of the head of a common nail. The spots are multiple and may develop randomly on the skin, especially after repeated exposure to sunlight. These are particularly common in people of fair complexion on upper-body skin areas like the cheeks, nose, arms, and upper shoulders. They may appear on people as young as age 1 or 2.

Most freckles on a person’s skin are usually uniform in color. On different people, freckles may vary somewhat in color — they may be reddish, yellow, tan, light brown, brown, or black — but they are basically slightly darker than the surrounding skin. They tend to become darker and more apparent after sun exposure and lighten in the winter months. Freckles are due to an increase in the amount of dark pigment called melanin and are not due to an increase in the total number of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. The word freckle comes from the Middle English freken, which, in turn, came from the Old Norse freknur, meaning “freckled.”

What types of freckles are there?

There are two basic types of freckles: simple freckles and sunburn freckles. Simple freckles are usually tan, round, and small — about the size of a common construction nail head. Sunburn freckles are often darker, have irregular jagged borders, and may be larger than a pencil eraser. Sunburn freckles are more common on the upper back and shoulders where people frequently get their most severe sunburns.

Ephelides (singular: ephelis) is the Greek word and medical term for freckle. This term refers to flat spots that are tan, slightly reddish, or light brown and typically appear during the sunny months. They are most often found on people with light complexions, and in some families, they are a hereditary (genetic) trait. People with reddish hair and green eyes are more prone to these types of freckles. Sun avoidance and sun protection, including the regular use of sunscreen, may help to suppress the appearance of the some types of freckles.

Lentigines (singular: lentigo) comes from the Latin word for lentil and is the medical term for certain types of darker freckles and sunburn freckles. Lentigines tend to be darker than the common freckle and do not usually fade in the winter. This kind of spot is referred to as lentigo simplex. Although occasionally lentigines are part of a rare genetic syndrome, for the most part they are just isolated and unimportant spots.

Vascular Lesions

Varicose veins are a very common condition in the United States and affect approximately 15 percent of men and approximately 25 percent of women.

Varicose veins are the blue or purplish enlarged veins you typically see bulging out of one’s leg. The word “varicose” is derived from the Latin root word “varix,” which is translated in English as “twisted.” Any vein in your body may become varicose, however, its important to note that this condition or varicose veins exists most often in the legs and feet. Varicose veins occur in the legs and lower extremities because standing and walking increases the pressure in the veins in the lower half of your body.

Is it only a cosmetic concern?

For many men and women, varicose veins and spider veins (these are the smaller and more common variation of varicose veins) makes them feel less attractive. However, it’s important to note that for others, varicose veins cause aching pain and discomfort. This condition may lead to serious problems if not treated. Moreover, varicose veins may also serve as an indication that the individual is at a higher risk of other disorders of the circulatory system.

As with many other related issues, self-help measures work well for prevention; compression stockings and changing certain aspects in one’s lifestyle.

Pregnancy and Varicose Veins

Pregnant women sometimes complain of developing varicose veins. This is true. Pregnancy increases the volume of blood in a woman’s body, however, it decreases the flow of blood from the legs to the pelvis. This change in circulation is designed to support the growing baby, but it can produce an unfortunate side effects such as enlarged veins in the legs. Varicose veins may appear for the first time during pregnancy. It has been observed that the varicose veins may worsen during late pregnancy because the uterus exerts greater pressure on the veins in your legs.

Hemorrhoids and Varicose Veins?

Some are very surprised to learn that hemorrhoids are actually varicose veins located in and around the anus. Moreover, this condition is very common in the United States. By age 50, about half of adults have had to deal with the itching, bleeding and pain that often signal the presence of hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids, also known as “piles”, are swollen veins in your anus and rectum. The causes include straining during a bowel movement or the increased pressure during pregnancy.

Effective medications and procedures are readily available to treat hemorrhoids. Fortunately, in many cases hemorrhoids may require only lifestyle changes.

Symptoms

A number of people do not experience any discomfort with varicose veins, however, certain people do. For those that do experience discomfort, below are some of the symptoms

Achiness or heavy feeling in one’s legs; burning, throbbing, muscle cramping and swelling in the lower legs.

Itching around one or more of your veins in the legs.

Skin ulcers near your ankle, which represent a severe form of vascular disease and require immediate attention.

If you have varicose veins, typically prolonged sitting or standing tends to make your legs feel worse. The varicose veins are easy to spot because they are dark purple or blue in color and sometimes appear twisted and bulging. The most common spot they appear is on the inside of the leg or on the backs of calves. But don’t let that fool you, they can form anywhere on your legs, from your groin to your ankle.

Risk Factors that Increase your Chances of Developing Varicose Veins

Standing for long periods of time. Blood doesn’t flow as well if you’re in the same position for long periods of time because your muscles are not contracting to push the blood back to the heart.

Obesity. Extra weight puts more pressure on your veins.

Age. The normal processing of aging causes wear and tear on the valves in your veins which regulate blood flow. The wear and tear may causes the valves to malfunction.

Sex. Women have a higher chance than men are to develop varicose veins and spider veins. This is attributed to hormonal changes during pregnancy, and also premenstruation or menopause may be a factor. Some researchers have found that female hormones may relax vein walls. Moreover, the use of hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills may increase the risk of varicose veins.

Genetics. Check to see whether your family members have varicose veins, heredity plays a big role.

Screening and diagnosis by a Physician

To locate a physician in your area that specializes in varicose vein and spider vein treatment, please click here. Prior to making a diagnosis, your doctor will most likely examine your legs while you’re standing and will look for swelling. Also, he or she may ask you if you have any of the varicose vein symptoms listed above. As an ancillary test, your doctor may do an ultrasound test to see if the valves in your veins are working normally or if there’s any evidence of a blood clot. Ultimately, it is smart to see a specialist for varicose veins and spider vein treatment. When doing your research, whether using veindirectory.org or other sites, choose a physician who specializes in the varicose vein removal procedures. Veindirectory.org has made the process simple for you. You can research using this site and learn about the procedures offered by the physicians. To make it even easier for you, we have provided for you the telephone numbers of each facility. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call.

Ulcers

Painful ulcers may form on the skin near varicose veins, particularly near the ankles. Increased pressure of blood within the affected veins can cause “water logging” which is a cause of the ulcers. Sometimes there is a brownish pigmentation prior to developing the ulcer. It is important to see a physician immediately if you suspect you’ve developed an ulcer

Sudden Swelling of the Leg

If you have considerable swelling in the leg (caused by the enlarging of veins deep within the legs) you must see a doctor immediately. Any sudden leg swelling requires urgent medical attention because it may indicate a blood clot — a condition known medically as thrombophlebitis.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Most physicians will say that hospital stay was thing in the past. Treatment today usually doesn’t mean a hospital stay or a time consuming, uncomfortable recovery. Less invasive techniques are available that can be done fairly quickly.

The use of compression stockings may prove effective for your condition. Learn more about compression stockings…

Prior to getting treatment for your varicose veins, you should ask a physician about the affects of: compression stockings, exercising, losing weight, not wearing tight clothes, elevating your legs, avoiding long periods of standing or sitting. These are helpful in prevention and slowing the progression of the condition.

If you are pregnant and have varicose veins, please note that varicose veins that develop during pregnancy generally improve without treatment within a few months after delivery. However, it is never a bad idea to ask a specialist.

Below are some procedures that your physician may recommend:

Sclerotherapy

This form of treatment is a non-surgical procedure in which a solution is injected into the problem varicose veins or spider veins in order to cause its disappearance. More info on Sclerotherapy »

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

EVLT works by heating the inside of the vein, which causes it to seal shut and disappear. This treatment requires that a very thin laser fiber be inserted into the damaged underlying vein. More info on EVLT »

Radiofrequency Occlusion also known as VNUS

This method treats the vein by heating them, causing the vein to contract and then close. More info on RadioFrequency Occlusion »

Laser and Pulsed Light Treatments

This form of vein therapy involves a light beam that is pulsed onto the veins in order to seal them off, causing them to dissolve. Successful light-based treatment requires adequate heating of the veins. Several treatments are usually needed for optimal results. More info on Laser Light Therapy »

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

This procedure involves making tiny punctures or incisions through which the varicose veins are removed. The incisions are so small no stitches are required. More info on Ambulatory Phlebectomy »

Transilluminated Powered Phlebectomy (TIPP)

The TIPP treatment is a minimally invasive procedure for removing varicose veins that is performed using the TriVex® System. Transillumination is a unique feature – much like a flashlight placed under the skin – that allows a surgeon to see, accurately target and remove varicose veins, then visually confirm the extraction. More info on TIPP »

Vein Ligation

During this type of vein surgery, incisions are made over the problem vein and the vein is tied off. This is done in order to cut off the flow of blood to the varicose vein, which in turn causes it to become less visible. More info on Vein Ligation »

Vein Stripping

Vein stripping involves tying off of the upper end of a problem vein and then removing the vein. More info on Vein Stripping »

There are many other varicose vein treatments out there which include laser surgeries, catheter-assisted procedures and endoscopic vein surgeries. Please consult your physician or other medical care provider regarding what type of treatment is best for you.

Please also remember that current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins are highly successful. However, it’s possible that varicose veins can recur.

Prevention

There’s no way to completely prevent varicose veins. But improving your circulation and muscle tone can reduce your risk of developing varicose veins or getting additional ones. Traditional, common-sense approaches include:

Exercise. Get your legs moving. Walking is a great way to encourage blood circulation in your legs. Your doctor can recommend an appropriate activity level for you.

Watch your weight, and your diet. Shedding excess pounds takes unnecessary pressure off your veins. What you eat makes a difference, too. Follow a low-salt, high-fiber diet to prevent the swelling that may result from water retention and constipation.

Watch what you wear. Avoid high heels. Low-heeled shoes work calf muscles more, which is better for your veins. Don’t wear tight clothes around your waist, legs or groin. Tight panty-leg girdles, for instance, can restrict circulation.

Elevate your legs. To improve venous circulation, take several short breaks daily to elevate your legs above the level of your heart. For example, lie down with your legs resting on three or four pillows.

Avoid long periods of sitting or standing. Make a point of changing your position frequently to encourage blood flow. Try to move around at least every 30 minutes.

Don’t sit with your legs crossed. This position can aggravate circulation problems.

Alternative Medicine

Some alternative medicine experts have noted that horse chestnut seed extract may be an effective treatment for chronic venous insufficiency; this is a condition associated with varicose veins in which the leg veins have problems returning blood to the heart. The herb may help improve swelling and discomfort caused by varicose veins. Make sure you talk with your doctor before trying horse chestnut seed extract or any other herb or dietary supplement.

Always Be a Cautious Consumer

Before undergoing any procedure, ask your doctor about any health risks and possible side effects.

Unless you fit into the coverage criteria (if you have signs or symptoms such as swelling and bleeding), most insurance companies will not reimburse for a cosmetic procedure. However, for more information, click here to read up on the health insurance coverage information. Even though the treatments are not too costly, they can still add up. It may be wise to inquire about treatment costs, as well.

What is Hemangiomas?

Hemangiomas are tufts of extra blood vessels that commonly occur in children.

Usually, they occur on the surface of the skin (strawberry hemangiomas). Those that are deeper in the skin are sometimes called cavernous hemangiomas. Some are mixed strawberry and cavernous hemangiomas.

Most children with hemangiomas have only one. Many have a few. Rarely, children may have many, both on the skin and in the internal organs. Some have enough extra vascular tissue to cause anemia or platelet problems.

Port wine stains and salmon patches are not hemangiomas.

Who gets it?

Hemangiomas are found on at least one in fifty babies. They tend to run in families. Girls are more likely to have hemangiomas than boys. They are also more common in babies with lighter skin coloring.

Premature babies are more likely to have hemangiomas than babies born at term.

What are the symptoms?

Strawberry hemangiomas are bright red (or purple), soft, raised, squishy birthmarks with sharp borders. They often start as little red dots surrounded by a pale halo before they grow. They are most common on the head, chest, or upper back.

Deeper cavernous hemangiomas often appear bluish, and the borders look less distinct. If the hemangioma is deep enough, the overlying skin might look normal. Most are found on the head or neck.

Most hemangiomas grow rapidly, doubling their size, and then plateau for a while before collapsing and disappearing. When the color becomes dull, or the center appears gray or pinkish-gray, the hemangioma may be entering the slow disappearing phase.

Is it contagious?

How long does it last?

Strawberry hemangiomas are usually not present at birth. Most appear between 3 and 5 weeks, and then grow quickly during the first six months. By the first birthday, most have already peaked in size. Many are gone by age two or three. Most are gone by school age. The great majority are gone without a trace before puberty.

Cavernous hemangiomas are more likely to be present at birth. They do not grow or disappear as rapidly. Still, more than ninety percent are gone by puberty.

In general, the size of the hemangioma and the location on the body does not correlate well with how completely it will disappear, although lip hemangiomas seem to be less likely to disappear completely.

How is it diagnosed?

Hemangiomas are usually diagnosed based on the physical exam. Sometimes blood tests or imaging studies are needed to assess the situation.

How is it treated?

The great majority of hemangiomas will disappear on their own (unlike port wine stains) and require no treatment.

However, treatment may be warranted when a hemangioma interferes with vision or feeding, when it involves vital internal organs, when it causes overlying ulcerations, or when it grows very rapidly.

When treatment is desired (, there are several options available. Medicines, surgery, and laser therapy have all been used with success. There are some childrens’ hospitals where pediatric dermatologists and surgeons regularly work together to treat problematic hemangiomas.

How can it be prevented?

Effective prevention is not available.

Wrinkler

Skin Rejuvenation

Gentle Max Pro Skin Therapy uses advanced science to achieve vibrant, even skin tone and smooth texture in both men and women. Light penetrates deeply into the skin where collagen is manufactured, stimulating an increase of new collagen production. Unlike harsher methods, this is done without destroying the upper layers of skin (non-ablative). The Gentle Max Pro procedure safely, discretely and effectively treats scars, uneven textures, fine line and large pores. The result is skin with smoother texture and a healthier appearance. The skin is gently warmed during this procedure, and daily activities may be resumed right away. This is truly a rejuvenating experience with no downtime. How Gentle Max Pro works: Gentle Max Pro skin rejuvenation employs laser light targeted to the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, where collagen is made. The laser heats the dermis causing new collagen production that continues over time. The result is more even skin tone, tighter pores and a smoother skin texture. Laser also targets the microvasculature (tiny vessels) beneath the skin surface, decreasing diffuse redness and ruddy complexions. What Gentle Max Pro is used for: Gentle Max Pro improves the skin’s overall appearance, particularly on face, neck and chest, decreasing fine line wrinkles and restoring even skin tones. Gentle Max Pro evens out acne scarring and is particularly effective in combination with other treatments such as chemical peels. Gentle Max Pro can also be used to improve the appearance of other scars anywhere on the body.

Microdermabrasion

Skin Resurfacing can reduce the effects of aging on our skin. Years of sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and color. Not only is the face a likely victim of these changes, but the neck, chest, cleavage, arms and hands may be affected as well.

Skin Resurfacing is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture and color by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. Skin Resurfacing also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. Skin Resurfacing treatments are normally administered by a trained clinician, nurse, aesthetician, or physician. A wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical peels, the DiamondTomeTM Skin Resurfacing treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment.

Leading plastic surgeons and dermatologist regard the DiamondTomeTM system as being more gentle and affective than other exfoliating systems, even at higher settings. The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment.

When to use Skin Resurfacing

(1) Reduction of minor to moderate early aging fine lines

(2) Minor revision of scars

(3) Sun damaged skin

(4) Hyperpigmentation reduction

(5) Reduction of acne scars

(6) Rejuvenation of overall skin health

(7) Age spots

(8)Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads

Treatment Overview

Using the DiamondTome? Wands

The grit size and the vacuum pressure selected determine the degree of abrasion. The vacuum pressure controls the pressure of the skin against the diamond chips. To achieve rejuvenation of thin skin you would select the 75-micron wand and a low pressure (i.e. 800 mbar). To increase the exfoliation, you simply increase the pressure in small increments. For more aggressive treatment the medium (100-micron) wand would be used. You begin with low pressure and slowly increase the pressure until the desired results are achieved.

Skin Resurfacing Treatments

Skin Resurfacing treatments are normally administered by a trained clinician, nurse, aesthetician, or physician. Length of treatment and number of treatments is dependent on skin type and condition. The skin is polished and not broken which can lead to bleeding. This non-invasive skin care treatment can be completed in a short period of time and without pain. This skin care treatment is ideal for people on the go. There is no “downtime” from work or social activities. The results are gradual but highly effective for clearer, healthier looking skin.

Electrolysis

What is Electrolysis?

During electrolysis, a tiny probe the same size as the hair is gently inserted into the hair follicle, down to the papilla(the part that nourishes the hair). A very low electrical current destroys the papilla, ending further hair growth.

Is Electrolysis painful ?

Until now, the electric current used in the process was transmitted at a fixed intensity,resulting in an unpleasant sensation.

Sequentium is a new generation electrolysis machine using the Sequential Modulation System(Patented by Silhouet-Tone).

During the insensity and duration of the current, achieving next-to-painless electrolysis.

Is it really Permanent ?

Yes! Electrolysis, which utilizes a probe, is the only permanent hair removal method recognized & practiced by the medical community & licensed electrologists.

How long does it Take ?

The number of treatments required depends on serval factors:

1-The area being treated

2-How much hair is involved

3-Adherence to the schedule of appointments(determined by the electrologist in accordance with the hair growth phase)

4-Tolerance for the procedure (tolerance is greatest with the variable modulated currents used bt Sequentium).

How much does it cost ?

Electrolysis costs no more than other beauty and skin care treatments. However, once completed it has the advantage of being permanent; it lasts a lifetime.

Is it Safe ?

Professional electrologist maintain the strictest standards of hygiene. Sterile, disposable needles are used once only, ensuring your complete safely.

Areas of the body where electrolysis is most commonly used

– Hairline
– Eyebrows
– Cheeks
– Upper Lip
– Chin
– Neck
– Chest
– Abodomen

Mole / Wrat / Skin / LED Lighting

Electrolysis is a procedure of permanent hair removal. Using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated. Electrolysis is essential to realizing the look you want and it is more effective than ever before. Let Electrolysis work its wonders for you.

The Sequentium VMC System by Silhouet-Tone™ is the most advanced technology available for computerized Electrolysis. The system allows the operator to use varied intensities of electrical current, depending on the area of the body being treated, to disable hair growth. The Sequential Modulation System produces an advanced delivery system, that modulates the current in both intensity and duration while the probe is in the follicle. In the past, electrolysis machines had fixed intensities and durations of current.

Sequentium VMC also features a new interference-free probe that brings greater stability and control of energy distribution. Until now Electrolysis equipment transmitted a constant, fixed-intensity electrical current through the probe, the result was a pain followed by a persistent unpleasant sensation. With the Sequentium System, the current decreases while the probe is inserted. This technique reduces the discomfort usually associated with electrolysis. The result is a more comfortable treatment while producing a more effective and efficient hair removal.
