Laser Tattoo Removal Increases in Popularity for Men

2012-01-30T06:53:00.000-08:00

At Winter Park Laser the variety of men and women getting tattoos removed varies from soccer moms, to business men and everything in between. While there a lot of women erasing the bad memories of an ex-boyfriend's name from their lower back, there are equally now older "frat boys" getting tattoos removed. There has also been an increase in tattoo removal business since the stricter regulations on enlisting into the military or applying for a government position have been imposed.
Winter Park Laser treats 25-35 tattoos per week with the Medlite 4 Laser, and sees that number increasing.

Complete removal of a tattoo usually takes between six and 12 laser treatments every four to eight weeks but vary depending on color and size of tattoo. Prices typically range from $75 to $450.

"It's all about how deep the ink was applied, and if it is an amateur or profession tattoo" says Brenda Pribila ARNP. "You could say by square inch, but not all tattoos come by the square inch."
As long as there are spring break trips, alcohol infused decisions, ex-lovers and career changes, laser tattoo removal is here to stay and is only increasing in popularity. For more information on treatments go to www.winterparklaser.com

Chemical Peels can rejuvenate the Skin

2012-01-23T07:49:00.000-08:00

Chemical Peels can Rejuvenate the Skin

Starting in Egyptian times, chemical peels were the first form of non-surgical cosmetic treatments used to slow down the aging process and rejuvenate tired, dull skin and wrinkles. A chemical peel is a process involving various chemical agents being applied to the skin which causes isolated intentional injury that is superficial to the top layers of the skin. This is called exfoliation and the top layers of dead cells then slough off to reveal a new more youthful layer of fresh skin. Chemical peels are great rejuvenation and anti-aging because as you age the cell turnover slows down. When dead skin cells start to pile up on the skint hey can cause the skin to look dull, crepey, dry, and uneven pigmentation.

Unfortunately the media often depicts chemical peels in movies and TV as scary, red tomato faces with weeks of downtime, but that is not the case. There are light (superficial), medium and strong depth chemical Peels and they differ in how deep they penetrate the skin layers. The deeper the penetration, the more extensive the rejuvenation and recovery time. It is always a good idea to start with light peels first to prepare the skin and then ease into stronger peels. Chemical Peels are a great way to rejuvenate and maintain skin after acne treatments or any type of laser skin resurfacing treatments.

Here are a few examples of various chemical peels from Glytone or IMAGE Skin care that we use at our Medical Spa under Physician Supervision and like:
Alpha Hydroxy Acid Peel:
An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel is a superficial-depth peel. It is the mildest type of peel formulation. The advantage of the mild nature of the AHA peel is that while the effect is mild, there is no extended downtime. People can return to work after the peel, although the application of make-up is discouraged for at least three hours after the peel. AHA peels help to treat fine, superficial skin wrinkles and sun damage. It can be used on people of all skin colors and it can be used on areas other than the face, such as the neck, chest, arms and hands. The most common type of AHA peel is the glycolic acid peel.

TCA Orange Peel: A physician grade TCA/Salicylic Acid Peel that aggressively treats aging and sun-damaged skin. A revolutionary treatment that will rejuvenate skin in one treatment (45 minute

Jessner’s Peel:
Jessner’s peel is a superficial-depth peel. It is appropriate for people requiring a deeper peel. Because it is a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid (an AHA), and resorcinol, it reaches deeper into the skin than an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel or beta hydroxy acid (BHA) peel alone. A Jessner's peel can be used to lighten areas of hyper-pigmentation (unsightly darkening), treat acne and acne scars, and improve the appearance of photo-damaged and sun-damaged skin.

Vi Peel™: The VI peel is a strong peel created to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage on the skin and is safe for all skin types! The Vi Peel improves the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin, reduces age spots, stimulates collagen, and can improve acne skin conditions. It is powerful enough to make a serious improvement after just one treatment and works at the cellular level instead of burning skin off. The Vi Peel Precision enhancer is available for a concentrated blend of ingredients making the peel 25% stronger. This is great for those with stubborn hyper-pigmentation.

Manly Botox & other Cosmetic Treatments for Men

2012-01-16T05:22:00.001-08:00

Manly Botox & other Cosmetic Treatments for Men

When Botox became popular 2 decades ago along with lasers it was mainly used by women, however men are now getting bitten by the Botox bug. Statistics show that about 250000 Botox procedures were performed on men alone in the United States last year, making it the leading cosmetic treatment for men; so much so that it has gained the nicknames "Brotox" and “Boytox.”

Men have the same aging concerns as women-wrinkles, sun damage, sagging skin so why shouldn't they be able to fix them. Well now that social norms have given the wink and nod for the green light on laser skin resurfacing, fillers and Botox men are stepping our of their man caves and into medical spas. Competition in the job markets also plays a part in the influx as men want to stay looking young and healthy for that career competitive edge.

Botox is a natural and purified protein that temporarily reduces contractions of the facial muscles that cause lines, by blocking nerve transmissions, leaving the skin unwrinkled. This creates a smooth and a more youthful appearance.

Botox Cosmetic is a simple and nonsurgical procedure that is injected into the facial muscles using tiny insulin needles. It is used for forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines,&brow lift (when one eyebrow is lower than the other).

Contrary to what most people think, Botox does not freeze facial expressions, but it softens them. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the treatment but results take up to 2 weeks to completely set. Side effects are not long-term, with some minor bruising that disappears in a week’s time. Botox Cosmetic should be affordable but don't go with the "cheapest" as you always want pure Botox from Allergan (look for the hologram on the bottle). You can also take advantage of Allergan's free point program (Brilliant Distinctions) that will save you $25-$50 each treatment.

Doctors say that men need higher doses than women, probably because they have greater muscle mass. It has also been observed that larger and stronger men need more units per treatment area than small-boned men.

The best part about Botox is that this is equality in a new sense where men are allowed to take care of themselves in the same ways that men have for years. For more information on Botox or other treatments go to www.winterparklaser.com

Skin Rejuvenation and Regeneration with Chemical Peels

Good Botox Treatments Vs. Bad Botox Treatments

2012-01-03T13:03:00.000-08:00

I love this story-as we only use Botox Cosmetic from Allergan and you can check our hologram on the bottle any time to make sure that is legitimately Botox Cosmetic. Unfortunately there have been some alarming instances of companies purchasing "off-label" botox that has caused terrible results, here is an article on this issue:
Ashley Roberts CW33 News

1:43 p.m. CST, December 26, 2011
Uptown Dallas—
New Year celebrations are upon us. 2012 marks a fresh start, a time for resolutions, and for many...a chance to get that new, more youthful appearance.

“We’re seeing an explosive growth of procedures to make people look more beautiful, and Botox is definitely one of them,” says cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D., F.A.C.S.

He's always ready to make a pretty face more beautiful.

“You can see the hologram on this bottle – this is an original bottle of Botox,” says Dr. Adelglass.

He says a hologram on the bottle is one sure-fire way to know that Botox is the real deal. But Dr. Adelgass does warn consumers to proceed with caution when it comes to getting such treatments.

“There are a lot of importers and people are trying to buy it inexpensively through foreign channels and then use it on their patients,” he explains.

Just this week he received a letter in the mail with different out-of-the-country Botox options that he could potentially buy.
“Well, I think this is illegal,” says Dr. Adelglass.

Illegal or not, he says this is an increasing trend. Which is perhaps why some North Texans say "Botox" is not on their "To Do" list.

“Just because I’ve heard like the horror stories and then they don’t have like their natural expressions,” says Erika Gomez.
Others say they are not opposed to it.

“I would never use it personally, but I don’t fault people for trying to improve their appearance by any means,” says Steven Schwartz.

Dr. Adelglass says if you are looking for that New Year, New You "pick me up", it's all about doing your research first.

“And believe it or not, there is an importance to having a doctor [do this procedure] because this is a medical procedure. Botox, Deport - it can only be sold to physicians,” he says.

Dr. Adelglass also suggests using caution when it comes to purchasing cosmetic procedures via discount websites. He says this could be a red flag to potential "Botox Gone Bad" horror stories.

Understanding Laser Hair Removal-the Process & Benefits

2011-12-19T11:04:00.000-08:00

Laser Hair Removal has been around for 2 decades and is now widely accessible for the public to enjoy the benefits of never shaving or dealing with folliculitis (ingrown hairs) again without having to mortgage their home to afford it.

What Is The Purpose Of Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal allows people with unwanted hair to have a more permanent solution than painful waxing or tweezing or time consuming shaving. It is also now available for those with lighter hair and not just dark hair as it was five years ago.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Yes. It is completed through the use of a laser that produces a wavelength of light. This wavelength of light used in laser hair removal treatment targets a specific area of tissue, without damaging or affecting any unnecessary surrounding area. The light emitted from the laser works to heat melanin, or dark target matter, that assists in hair growth. Melanin is vital in producing the color in skin and hair development. When laser light affects this area of melanin, it is impossible for the hair to continue to grow. Although this procedure is useful for those who want unwanted hair banished, it works better for patients with dark, coarse hair.

How To Find Someone To Perform Laser Hair Removal

Unfortunately there are some now saturated markets with good and "not so good" locations performing this treatment so you should really do your "home-work". You should find someone who is licensed, board certified by your state and experienced (at least 5 years in business). Find someone that will give you a free consultation and spends time explaining the process. Read reviews online-this is a great way to get opinions. Find a reasonable price but don't always go with the cheapest-a lot of times you get what you pay for and you could even get burned so please don't let money be the only factor in your decision. Lastly, follow your instinct-I always tell clients "go where you feel most comfortable".

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial Risks & Benefits

2011-12-12T07:56:00.000-08:00

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial Risks & Benefits

After working around medical spas and laser treatments for 7 years, my favorite treatment is IPL (Intense Pulsed LIght) Photo-facials. You see huge instant results with this 20 minute safe procedure and go straight back to work, wear makeup and have no down-time. This technology has continued to improve and Palomar is the "Mercedes" of IPL laser technology. There are mainly benefits, but of course a few minor risks with this treatment such as swelling, redness, and facial flushing, are minor and usually disappear within a few hours or days of the procedure.

Benefits of IPL™ Photofacial

The benefits of intense pulsed light therapy cover almost the entire spectrum of cosmetic dermatology. When performed by a qualified skin care specialist, IPL™ photofacial treatment can help nearly all aspects of skin aesthetics and structure.

The treatment can help repair small blood vessels that have become visible, or help eradicate sun spots or other pigmentation irregularities.
IPL™ treatment can help combat acne problems such as oil and p. bacterias&can shrink large pores.
IPL™ photofacial therapy is also excellent at treating Rosacea, & any redness in skin.
By treating a slightly deeper layer of the skin, IPL™ photofacials stimulate collagen growth by simulating minor dermal injuries, thereby helping to improve skin texture.
The cost of IPL photofacial therapy is usually minor compared to most lasers and results are seen in as little as 1-5 treatments on average.

Another benefit of IPL™ photorejuvenation procedures is that they allow for additional treatment with facials, or chemical peels that target the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis. Since IPL™ photofacials target deeper layers of the skin, they can be safely performed in conjunction with other, more superficial treatments.
IPL™ Photofacial Risks

There are relatively few long-term risks associated with intense pulsed light treatment. Short-term potential side effects of IPL™ photofacial treatment include very minor swelling, redness, and increased visibility of small capillaries. These symptoms usually begin to disappear within a few hours of treatment.

This treatment is only safe for certain skin types so consult with your skin care professional.

Laser Hair removal benefits for Medical Reasons

2011-12-05T08:51:00.000-08:00

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic and a medical procedure that tends to make use of a laser or pulsed light system with- a pulsating beam of light absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle to rid one of undesirable hair on any area of the body. While many people have laser hair removal treatments because they are tired of waxing, tweezing and shaving, for others laser hair removal is a medical necessity.

Excessive hair conditions can be classified into 3 broad categories;

Hypertrichosis; this issue impacts both women and men. It is mostly excessive development of body hair in either abnormal or regular patterns. The problem might be hereditary, or might be as a outcome of medication, malnutrition, tumors, hormonal or metabolic difficulties.

Hirsuitism; this difficulty affects girls. It truly is the growth of excessive hair in female but in male pattern. This might contain mustache, beard or development of hair in the decrease abdomen. The problem may be as being a outcome of hormonal imbalance, hereditary, specified medications and even tumors.

Hormonal Imbalances such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Laser hair removal offers a great long term solution by removing unwanted hair from the body and undesirable facial hair for women in six treatments on average which occur once every 4-6 weeks for treatments.

Unlike with tweezers, waxing, shaving along with depilatory creams, exactly where a single has to deal with hair return every four to eight days. Laser hair removal offers a reasonably long term hair removal. Like a matter of fact analysis has shown employing laser as proposed by authorities and using it far more regularly might lead to permanent hair removal.

In contrast to with other treatment techniques where irritation could be the order in the day, laser hair removal is the most effective method of treating ingrown hairs. It really is cost-free of irritation in addition to red bumps emanating from ingrown hairs. Always consult with a professional, experienced laser technician (CME) before starting treatments.

Dysport Vs. Botox

2011-11-21T12:39:00.000-08:00

Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® are to injectables for wrinkles as Pepsi is to Coca-Cola-the main competitors in this category. They both have their benefits and they are both great products and we use them both in our medical spa. So now I will lay out the differences:
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat frown lines — those pesky wrinkles between the eyebrows — in 2002. In 2009, a competitor, Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) was approved for the same use.

Both drugs have also been approved for other cosmetic and medical uses, and doctors administer them widely to smooth wrinkles even in areas they haven't been specifically approved to treat, namely around the outer corner of the eyes.

Dysport is a more affordable option most times but does spread a lot making it a great choice for forehead wrinkles but not so great for inbetween brows. A benefit of Dysport is that is sets faster than Botox.

Botox is still #1 in the market, has the most clinical research and is awesome for inbetween the brows and is safer when it comes to drooping because it doesn't spread.

Laser Acne Treatments

Acne Treatment - 4 Tips Used In Acne Laser Treatment

Acne is a problem for most people, both adults and young people throughout their lives. Most people would like to get rid of acne because of vanity.

3 Ways to Rejuvenate Winter Skin

2011-11-07T12:21:00.000-08:00

The Winter weather can cause havoc to the skin, here are 3 ways to rejuvenate winter skin or skin effected by sun damage, Rosacea, aging, and environmental factors.

Skin Rejuvenation Method #1: Chemical peels
Chemical peels are topically applied acids that cause controlled shedding of dead skin cell layers and help to restore and rejuvenate the skin's surface. There are various types of peels that reach various depths of the epidermis. It is always best to start with lighter peels before advancing to medium and strong depth peels. Superficial peels are best suited for combating the damaging effects of winter villains. This type of peel is designed to help smooth rough dry skin, remove sun damage and even out skin tone and has little downtime. Chemical peels are a great introduction to skin rejuvenation and an affordable option that average $95-$150

Skin Rejuvenation Method #2: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo-facials
IPL photofacials are an amazing way to melt winter weather's effects as well as fine lines caused by holiday stress and worry. IPLs are also great for treating Rosacea, enlarged pores, broken capillaries, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation. They work by using a broad spectrum of light into the dermis. This process accelerates the skin's natural regeneration process, helping connective tissue below the surface to rebuild itself. The resulting collagen stimulation makes the skin's surface smoother & will destroy excess pigment as well as constrict broken capillaries. It typically takes 2-5 treatments and averages $199-$300 per treatment.

Skin Rejuvenation Method #3: Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments
This is the most aggressive method but also garners the most visible results. This works by utilizing laser beam technology to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The laser is designed to improve the skin's texture, alleviate dark pigmentation and reduce the appearance of acne scars without down-time. We like Palomar 1540 fractional laser resurfacing.

Fakk Skin-Care tips

2011-11-01T06:55:00.001-07:00

Every season brings changes to your skin and therefore you need to reassess the products that you are using and think about switching them up each season. Ask a skin-care professional for assistance.

FALL SKIN-CARE TIPS:
TIP #1: Reassess your body wash. You'll want to find a shower gel that is soap-free as well as hydrating, try a cream not a gel wash. We like Avene Trixera wash.
TIP #2: Moisturize everyday even if you have acne. We like Matte Moisturizer oil free SPF 30.
TIP #3: Analyze your skin. Those who are normally oily might become normal, and those who are normally normal could turn oily. Ask one of our staff to help you choose the right products for you.

Beware of "Bargain Botox Deals" online or from friends

2011-10-31T08:02:00.000-07:00

The cosmetic industry has changed and grown greatly over the past decade and with Botox Cosmetic becoming the #1 non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the US for the past 5 years it is no surprise that many people are now looking to try the treatment. Unfortunately due to the economy many are turning to "bargain basement deals" from on-line sites or "at home" parties from friends. While Botox Cosmetic is a cosmetic procedure it is still a medical procedures and should be held to the same standards as any other medical procedure would. First of all,never purchase Botox on-line and always make sure that the Botox Cosmetic you are getting comes from Allergan (the only maker of Botox cosmetic) there is a hologram on the bottle to look for and you can ask to watch the medical practitioner mix it in front of you.

Second of all you wouldn't purchase brain surgery at 50% off so why would you do it for a treatment that is injecting something in to your body? Botox Cosmetic is an amazing treatment but should only be performed by a certified and licensed medical professional in a licensed medical spa, or medical office who are not only licensed but insured, when you have it done at someones home there is no medical malpractice insurance covering that. Do your research and look for reviews when selecting a location for Botox Cosmetic not just for the "cheapest deal."

Why More Men are Getting Botox

2011-10-24T07:58:00.000-07:00

Over the past 8 years in our Medical Spa (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) in Orlando we have seen the number of men that walk through our door for cosmetic treatments increase every year. It started with laser hair removal-a lot of hairy backs or ingrown hairs for beards but has steadily increased in facial treatments, acne laser treatments, stretchmarks and the most recent cosmetic increase for men has been Cosmetic Fillers such as Juvederm, Radiesse, Perlane and of course the injectable Botox Cosmetic. Often times it is a wife, or girl friend that drags the man in but after he tries the treatment once he continues to come back all on his own and to refer other men! As societal norms rule "looks do matter" and many men especially single men are trying to make it count, below was a news story from NBC in south Florida about the increase in men and Botox Cosmetic. It is no surprise as Botox Cosmetic is the #1 non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the world than men are finally jumping on the band-wagon, after all they have wrinkles and insecurities just like women. It just took a few brave men to pave the way! For more information on Botox at our medical spa go to www.winterparklaser.com You can watch this video on the man getting Botox at http://www.ksn.com/content/news/health/story/More-men-getting-Botox-injections/qls6UF_bEkaVg-wzmJC7iQ.cspx

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (NBC News) – Barry Goren recently jumped back in the dating game, but he knows he has to step it up if he's going to meet the right girl.

So he decided to go to Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera to get Botox.Does he think it makes him less manly? No!Barry is not alone.

National statistics show some 300,000 men received tiny injections of Botox or some cosmetic treatments last year. And because of that, lots of "dudes" are not only opting for what's affectionately called "boy-tox" these days, but even more males are asking for something called: Sculptra.

There are differences though as to how men and women approach getting such services.
Dr. Aguilera says guys tend to be more clandestine, more covert.
The American male grooming market is worth $3.5 billion a year and a larger portion is now going to cosmetic procedures. A number that doctors say is sure to continue to surge.

The demand for Laser Tattoo Removal & Laser Hair Removal Increases

2011-10-17T07:28:00.000-07:00

Winter Park Laser has been the leader in laser hair removal treatments in Central Florida for 8 years and has steadily seen the demand increase over the years. However, after a great demand we added Laser tattoo removal over a year ago and is has increasingly become more popular especially as few medical spas in the area are offering the treatment.

Laser hair removal is already the most popular noninvasive medical treatment in the United States for people under 34 and number 2 for people over 34 (second only to Botox) but lately, tattoo removal has also become very popular to the 16% of the population who have a tattoo. It is estimated that as much as 50% would like to have the tattoo removed which creates a tremendous demand for the service.

The demand for Laser tattoo removal stems partially from many government and military agencies requiring that tattoos not be in a visible area of the body for their employees. This includes air-force, army, police stations, fire departments, prisons and many more. Also, many once wild youths are now attorneys, doctors and other professions that do not look highly upon tattoos.

Winter Park Laser is only one of approximately 5 medical spas in Orlando to offer laser tattoo removal. Go to www.winterparklaser.com for more information.

Latisse is Botox for the Eyelashes

2011-10-03T08:04:00.000-07:00

Latisse is Botox for eyelashes and has proven to enhance the length, thickness and shade of eyelashes and has already proved to be a massive hit in the US, could soon make mascara history.

Latisse - the 'Botox for eyelashes', which has been developed from Bimatoprost - a medication used to treat eye disorders including glaucoma, is also being used by many actresses, including 'Man Men' star Christina Hendricks, Claire Danes and Brooke Shields.

The solution, manufactured by American pharmaceutical giant Allergen - which also makes Botox, which is to be applied daily during the period of the treatment doubles the thiockness of the lashes as well as making them 18 per cent darker and 25 per cent longer.

Having applied the lotion for four months, women can even reduce the dose by half to maintain the lashes' thickness and length and if they stop the treatment altogether, the lash will revert to its thinner, shorter original condition. Latisse is proving to be even bigger than Botox in the next few years.

What you should know about cosmetic fillers

2011-09-26T12:27:00.000-07:00

With the growing demand for plastic surgery, it's no surprise technology has created less invasive medical products and procedures to help erase years off your appearance. You've likely seen the ads and commercials for products such as Botox and Juvederm, but do you really know what they do? Before going in for treatment here are some tips from Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Medical Spa in Orlando.

First, it's important to know the different between Botox Cosmetic/Dysport and facial fillers. Since they are both administered as injections, the products can often get incorrectly lumped into the same category, when they actually focus on different facial areas. "Botox Cosmetic or Dysport are used to temporarily relax hyperactive facial muscles, and are usually used in the forehead, glabellar (inbetween brows) or the crow's feet areas.

Botox -- the number one treatment in America is not a one-time fix as it has to be repeated every 4-6 months but it is great as a preventative cosmetic measure as it prevents wrinkles from worsening.

In contrast, as their name indicates, Cosmetic facial fillers are used to fill any areas of facial volume loss or 'deflation' and are typically used to treat thin cheeks, upper lip cheek folds, marionette lines, the depression along the jaw line in front of the jowls and thin lips. The loss of facial volume (especially the fat pads in the cheeks) is part of the aging process but can also occur at a younger age because of weight loss or heredity. Injections of facial fillers, which were once only associated with the "bee stung lips" of celebrities, can help to restore fullness to the face.

All injectables and cosmetic fillers are performed by injection. Botox Cosmetic is injected via insulin needles which are tiny and barely felt by the patient. All cosmetic fillers can have lidocaine added into them making it a painless procedure without any downtime except slight swelling and a possibility of small bruises. All injectables should be administered by a Nurse Practitioner, A Physician's Assistant, or a Physician who is trained and experienced. These treatments are an art-form and some injectors are better than other.

Always ask to see pictures of clients, read reviews, check licenses and ask for a consultation to decide on the best treatments for you.

Laser hair removal has been around for 2 decades and is only increasing in popularity while it is a permanent solution-it does take a few months to complete the treatment. First of all you only want to have the procedure performed in a medically supervised facility by a licensed CME (certified medical electrologist) and you always want to know what type of equipment is being used. The Palomar IPL laser technology is one of the best and safest ways to remove hair.

In general is takes 6-7 treatments to remove 90-98% of the hair permanently with treatments being spaced once every 6-8 weeks on average except for facial hair which is every 4-6 weeks on average. For most effective outcomes, experts advise you go in for yearly maintenance treatment options (for at least 2 several years) this is usually only once a year and is due to the follicle stimulating hormone growing a couple of brand new hairs.
The best candidates are those with dark, thick hair. Especially those whose ethnic genetics are prone to excess hair such as Hispanics, Italians, Indians, and those from the middle East. Most facilities are able to eliminate hair from any area on your body but the most popular areas tend to be face, underarms, legs and bikini areas.

It is always a good idea to have a complimentary consultation with an expert to make sure you are a good candidate and what the best treatment plan for you will be.

LASER FINALLY GIVES A SOLUTION TO UN-WANTED STRETCHMARKS

2011-09-15T12:11:00.000-07:00

While they are often covered, stretchmarks (striae) are a cosmetic concern that plague women throughout the country and since 90% of pregnant women develop striae as well as adolescents with growth spurts, those with excessive weight gain and body builders-there is a growing trend to want a permanent solution to remove stretchmarks.

Fortunately, last year in 2010 Palomar Medical and fractional lasers came to the rescue with a permanent solution. Until then there was very little doctors could do. The Lux1540 hand-piece by Palomar improves mature or newer red and white striae in as little as 3-4 treatments on average over 3-5 months. In ongoing clinical studies using blinded reviewers at three months post-procedure, patients showed an average improvement of 51%-75% in the appearance of both red and white striae of various ages.

The fractional laser treatments for striae take about an hour to perform with very little downtime or side effects and give patients long-lasting results with high satisfaction. Since the 1540nm wavelength is highly selective for water and not melanin, darker skin types can be treated with little risk of blistering. The FDA clearance of this machine is the first of it's kind and extremely important.

Why Combining Aesthetic Treatments is Powerful

2011-09-06T14:14:00.000-07:00

Over the past 8 years in our medical spa, we have found that combining at least two cosmetic treatments (whether non-invasive treatments with products or other treatments or non-invasive with surgical) gives the optimal results clients are seeking. A recent study in the July 2011 Aesthetic Surgery Journal concluded that Botox Cosmetic patients treated with a combination of hydroquinone and tretinoin topical experienced a greater reduction in fine lines and wrinkles than those treated with Botox Cosmetic injections alone. We also find that clients receiving cosmetic injectables also benefit highly from laser resurfacing because it offers a longer lasting results to smoothing wrinkles.

Another issue that benefits from multiple treatment modalities is hyper-pigmentation (excess pigment caused by sun damage or Melasma). Utilizing chemical peels to break down pigment and dead skin cells with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photo-facial treatments offers a better solution while minimizing any negative side effects, and using hydroquinone bleaching agents with IPL treatments offers a longer lasting result for clients.

Acne also benefits from a combination of laser treatments, chemical peels, and at home products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients with bacteria fighting ingredients.

Your medical spa and skin-care experts will help to determine the best combination treatment plans for your skin care concerns.

Why Laser Tattoo Removal is Becoming More Popular

2011-08-29T08:42:00.000-07:00

While tattoos have been around for centuries, laser tattoo removal is only about 20 years old, before that strong, painful acids that often left scars without the best results were the main method of tattoo removal. Tattoo removal is still a new-enough niche that hard statistics are difficult to come by, but anecdotal evidence suggests it's growing fast. Winter park Laser decided to offer laser tattoo removal because there were only about 2 other medical spas in Orlando performing the treatment.
So why would tattoo removal start becoming more popular now? For starters many military and government agencies such as fire stations are now requiring that to work or join the military you can not have any tattoos showing. Also the need for removal has grown since tattoos have grown in popularity over the years. A 2006 Northwestern University survey estimated that almost a quarter of people between the ages of 18 and 50 have tattoos; the same year, the Food and Drug Administration placed the number of Americans with tattoos at around 45 million. And, economically speaking, tattoos and tattoo removal are complementary goods, like hot dogs and hot dog buns: As more and more people get tattoos, it follows that more and more people might want to get them removed. In fact, the Northwestern survey also found that about 17 percent of study participants were thinking about tattoo removal. What's more, the growth in tattoos appears to be especially big among younger people — which would indicate that the demand for tattoo removal hasn't even crested yet.

Also the laser technology to remove tattoos has great improved and is now strictly performed under physician supervision in medical spas or doctor's offices as opposed to tattoo parlors attempting to perform laser tattoo removal. The bottom line is that as long as there are tattoos, the rise in laser tattoo removal will continue.

Hair Removal For Men Makes them More Attractive?

2011-08-22T08:58:00.000-07:00

Recent Surveys found that the #1 thing that can make men more attractive is hair removal, and that most women prefer the bareless beach body to hairy on men.
Over the past 8 years at Winter Park Laser we have found more and more men are having laser hair removal and the number one reason they site is that their girlfriend or wife wanted them to (or ingrown painful hairs).

Laser Hair Removal is a much more permanent, time saving and cost effective way to eliminate hair on men on the back, chest, beard, ears, bikini, arms or even the legs for some men than the old hair removal methods of electrolysis, waxing, or shaving.

Laser hair removal works by the pigment in the hair follicle absorbing the light, transferring it into heat and destroying the follicles fully developed in the Anagen Cycle. You will be down to shaving only once ever 2-4 weeks after 2-3 treatments, and will never shave again after about 7 treatments on average! Men are loving the results as are the women in their lives!

Winter Park Laser has been treating men with laser hair removal in Orlando for nearly 8 years.

How can laser hair removal treatments be most effective

2011-08-15T08:41:00.000-07:00

The most frequently asked laser hair removal question asked is "Does it work"? at our medical spa in Orlando (Winter Park Laser). The answer is yes it does work but you have to be a good candidate-and unfortunately other medical spas have take the wrong candidates, weak settings or weak technology and given not so great results-therefore sometimes giving laser hair removal an unfair rapport. It has been and continues to be an amazing treatment for many people!

Many people want to embrace the idea of having unwanted hair removed once and for all, however laser hair removal costs can be very expensive to front in this poor economy. People want to know how effective it is for permanently removing nuisance hair on the legs, arms, bikini, face, chest, and back. Well, folks this is all dependent on many many factors such as the color of skin and hair being treated, what lasers are being used for the treatments, and the area that is being treated.

In the past temporary methods that have been available for hair removal such as painful waxing, plucking, and shaving left un-lasting results. Yes laser hair removal is an effective treatment to end the growth of the hair follicles in any place on your body. With minimal side effects, and impressive statistics of effectiveness. The cost of laser hair removal is actually significantly less over time than temporary hair removal solutions it also puts an end to ingrown hairs.

Laser Hair Removal is Most Effective When:

1.Good candidates: This type of hair removal tends to be most effective for hair removal when implemented on those people with dark hair that is darker than their skin tone (we treat all skin types). These are the clients who get the most for their money when paying in package rates. Most blonde, white or grey haired clients do not achieve the best results. Others may get fantastic results however they may also be required to attend a few more sessions in order to do so.

2.Good lasers are used: Laser hair removal technology changes all the time and is important that the technology is newer, has a built in cooling system and effective pulses. Palomar Medical is one of the leading makers of laser hair removal technology and was the first to patent it commercially.

3.The patient follows instructions: Before getting laser hair removal treatments the clinic will advise you to stop plucking, waxing, shaving. Avoid applying deodorants, perfumes, and lotions to the skin post treatment for 24 hours. They give you these directions for good reason as some of these actions can hinder the effectiveness of the laser treatments.
There are some cases where laser hair removal is more efficient in likely candidates, however with advances in laser technology the market has now tons of tactics to rid most hair types and skin types of unwanted hair although it may cost more or call for numerous extra sessions of treatments.

What is a Chemical Peel exactly

2011-08-08T07:33:00.000-07:00

Chemical peels have been around since Cleopatra and egyptions used fermented milk as an exfoliant. They were the beginning of non-surgical cosmetic treatments and while they have improved, the basic principles remain the same and they are still a staple in medical spas and plastic surgeon offices today.
Chemical Peels use a precise chemical solution (usually naturally derived from milk, almonds, sugar cane,etc) to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin, revealing a bright, healthy, more vibrant complexion. Chemical peels can dramatically improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, skin tone and texture. In some cases peels can elimate precancerous lesions. Chemical Peels can benefit all complexions, even the most sensitive, and can be performed on any part of the body,especially the chest, back or buttocks areas.

While one treatment will make a difference, it typically takes 3-6 treatments and maintenance to see your desired result and you should stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen after treatments. A good candidate for chemical peels is Individuals wanting to improve the overall quality of their complexion due to acne, wrinkles, or sun damage and correct specific skin conditions may be good candidates for a chemical peel. Skin type and color, ethnic background and age are factors in determining which type of chemical peel would be appropriate.

Chemical peels is done on a consistent basis can really slow down the aging process and keep acne under control.

Laser is Best Option to Remove Stretchmarks

2011-08-01T11:59:00.000-07:00

Laser Stretch Mark Removal Facts

A stretch mark (Striae-either white or red) can appear when your skin is stretched normal through sudden weight changes or pregnancy. The glucocorticoid hormones responsible for the development of stretch marks affect the dermis by preventing the fibroblasts from forming collagen and elastin fibers, necessary to keep rapidly growing skin taut. This creates a lack of supportive material, as the skin is stretched and leads to dermal and epidermal tearing.

The marks can be unsightly and they are actually scars that appear on the top skin layer. The scars appear because of the fact that the tissue will grow rapidly and the skin does not manage to grow as fast. The result is basically a scar. Stretch marks are usually red or become silvery white over time. The good news is that we have many ways to get rid of them. One of the most popular methods is laser stretch mark removal.

Laser Treatment

Laser stretch mark removal is one of the really effective methods to eliminate stretch marks and scars. There is currently only one FDA approved laser that removes stretchmarks permanently which is the Fractional 1540 Laser by Palomar Medical which removes 50-90% of stretchmarks in 3-5 treatments on average. We can say that the laser is wavelenhths of light that create columns of coagulated tissue in the dermis in order to regenerate damaged skin. The scar tissue is disrupted, pushed out and replaced by new healthy tissue and cells a fraction at a time.. Scar damage is thus eliminated. The stretchmarks will fade over treatments.

These treatments may be performed by a Nurse Practitioner, PA or Physician. One procedure can last 15 to 60 minutes and the skin will usually be red or swollen 2-3 days after. The procedure is mainly painless and requires little downtime with fabulous results.

Laser stretch mark removal is actually one of the most recommended methods to get rid of those marks. Lotions do not work because they can't penetrate deep enough.

You have to limit sun exposure after the treatment. For more information go to www.palomarmedical.com or www.winterparklaser.com

Three Key Triggers of Visible Aging & How to Slow it down

2011-06-27T05:33:00.000-07:00

The three main triggers of Visible Signs of Aging are Genetics Environment and time. While you can't change your genetics or time, you can reverse signs of aging and control or improve your environment. Genes do matter and can determine how your skin reacts to UV rays and how your genes function. However, no matter what your genetics all skin types should protect their skin by wearing a Full broad spectrum sunscreen everyday in your moisturizer not just when you are at the water. Another environmental factor that is preventative is smoking-smoking is horrible for your skin and causes inflammation.

There are many non-surgical treatments to reverse signs of aging. Chemical Peels are amazing for breaking down dead skin cells and stimulating collagen and cell turnover. Active exfoliants such as lactic and salicylic acids offer aging skin optimal results without inflammation.

Intense Pulsed Light treatments are excellent at removing signs of sun damage-these photo-facials will erase pigmented lesions caused by sun and broken capillaries without any down time, these treatmetns will also tighten pores and leave skin rejuvenated.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing can stimulate new collagen, tighten elastyn fibers and erase fine lines and wrinkles with only a few days of redness and swelling, these results will last 2-4 years and slow down the aging process.

brow lifts with Botox

2011-06-07T05:15:00.001-07:00

Great ARticle!
(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Cosmetic surgeons have made great strides in the non-surgical beautification and rejuvenation of the eyelid and brow area with injectable dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers. Whereas eyelid surgery can improve skin and fat positioning, it doesn’t really address skin quality, fine lines and wrinkles. Surgery and minimally invasive treatments are perfect complementary therapies to rejuvenate the all important upper third of the face that can really reveal your age.

Park Avenue Plastic Surgeon Dr. Z Paul Lorenc (http://www.lorenc.com) performs a technique he calls a ‘Chemical Brow Lift’ with BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® to smooth the deep, persistent lines between the brows and to soften crow’s feet and furrows. “The muscles of the brow area are considered push and pull muscles – they allow you to raise and lower your brows and also cause furrows to form over time. In the glabellar lines, altering the way the brow depressors (corrugator and procerus muscles) work is a very effective technique. A softening of the brow depressors leaves the brow elevator muscles unopposed, which creates the effect of a mini brow lift for many patients.” Tiny injections are administered to relax the muscles that cause these dynamic lines caused by muscle movement to form, and keeps them relaxed for up to four to six months. Your brows can be raised by injecting botulinum toxin into the inner brow, outer brow, or both, as needed. To create a complete brow lift, the outer brow depressors may be treated as well to weaken the downward pull of the orbicularis oculi muscle. The effect usually appears within two to four days after the treatment.

According to Long Island Facial Plastic Surgeon Jon B. Turk, M.D. (http://www.jonturkmd.com), “BOTOX® Cosmetic is the incredibly popular non-surgical wrinkle therapy that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, reducing the appearance of frown lines, laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet. Small amounts injected into the muscle in just minutes can decrease lines and elevate the brows, providing a more youthful, relaxed look to the face.”

The under eye area or tear troughs are another region that tends to deepen over time as soft tissues break down and skin gets thinner. New York City Plastic Surgeon Bryan G. Forley (http://www.drforley.com) uses the hyaluronic acid filler Juvederm® XC as well as conservative fat transfer in some cases to reduce dark circles by filling in under eye hollows with a syringe. “Injecting around the delicate eyelid area takes a greater amount of skill and restraint. We can achieve a pleasing improvement safely and effectively with this simple, non-invasive office procedure. Even a small amount of Juvederm® can produce a very visible result and lasts up to a year.” Fat grafting is a two stage procedure; the surgeon extracts the fat from the hip or tummy area, processes it, then injects tiny amounts to smooth the lower eyelid area.

Another way to rejuvenate the eyes and brow area is to enhance your brows with Latisse®, the only FDA approved drug that has been shown to grow longer, darker, thicker lashes in 8-12 weeks. According to New York Plastic Surgeon David M. Shafer (http://www.shaferplasticsurgery.com), “With continued use, we have found that using Latisse® three to four times a week is sufficient for most people to maintain the dramatic lash enhancing results they achieve.”

Treatments with Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Juvederm® XC and other filling substances present a seamless way to defy your age without a major investment of time and money.

How to Resolve Common Male Body Issues

2011-06-03T07:48:00.000-07:00

Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center has been treating patients with medical spa cosmetic treatments for nearly 8 years and has noticed that men sometimes have just as many body issues as women do. Fortunately, there are non-surgical options to solve these body issues.

One major issue that bothers men is excess body hair-many times on the back, chest, or arms. Laser Hair Removal is a great and quick way to rid excess hair within 6 treatments and is a more long term solution than waxing or shaving.

Another issue that often bothers men is "love handles" or excess fat around their abdoment that they can not remove through exercise or diet. Velashape II is an amazing non-invasive approach that melts the fat through infrared light, tightens the skin and helps the body to lose inches and rid the fat through the lymphatic system with only five to ten treatments on average.

Stretchmarks are often a common insecurity for men just as much as they are for women. Many men get them from weight gains, weight loss, or weight-lifting. Palomar 1540 Fractional Laser Resurfacing is the only laser currently FDA approved to remove stretchmarks through a series of four treatments that resurface the skin providing new elastyn, collagen and tissue to permanently remove or reduce unwanted stretchmarks.

Our society is not becoming much more acceptable to men receiving cosmetic treatments as they are to women. Winter Park Laser offers complimentary skin analyses and consultations for men and women struggling with body issues.
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center is located at 1215 W. Fairbanks Ave. Orlando FL 32804 and is medically supervised by plastic surgeon James F. Farrell M.D.

Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Treatment for Bikini Area Increases in popularity

2011-05-23T08:22:00.000-07:00

Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center has been performing laser hair removal in Central Florida for over 7 years and has found that over time the Brazilian Bikini area has become increasingly popular; especially in an area where bikinis are worn 9 months out of the year. You may have never heard about Brazilian waxing or brazilian hair removal. In few words, it is a style of removing pubic hair in a shape famously made by women in Brazil. It is also becoming more popular for men as well as women.

Now, most of women or men get the bikini hair removal in Brazilian style through waxing. As you can imagine there biggest inconvenient to this method is the pain during waxing, yet for the sake of good look and for avoiding shaving every two-three days, many are prepared to endure such cosmetic treatments to remove the pubic hair. Note, that while you can do brazilian waxing at home, it is advisable to go to a cosmetic salon and be done by a specialist as waxing in sensitive areas can be extremely painful.

Due to pain and plus that waxing is not a permanent solution, some people start to prefer having Brazilian laser hair removal instead. This technique is a permanent solution of hair removal, so you can not do it at home effectively. While the cost of laser hair removal is quite steep for many people, the advantage is that you pay only once while with brazilian waxing, you have the cost of monthly sessions.

Winter Park Laser uses the Palomar Starlux to remove hair and it is safe for all skin types.

The benefit of having brazilian laser hair removal can become its disadvantage in case you change your mind later on in life. This is why some people may prefer just to do a bikini line laser hair removal, where the skin it is exposed outside their bikini or underwear zone. This is a great compromised if you are not sure about what you will want in the next ten years time.

Common Myths about botox

2011-05-16T07:25:00.000-07:00

Running a Medical Spa (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) I have realized there are many misconceptions about Botox Cosmetic. Here are a few:
Myth 1: Botox is a poison. Some people mistakenly think that Botox is toxic, however most people have now realized the falseness of this claim. With Botox, the amount in the injection is extremely mild and not enough to do any harm to you. It is safe and effective to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and even can be injected under the arms or in the hands to cure excessive sweating. A qualified injector can perform this for you.

Myth 2: Botox is painful. This is a big fear that we hear from many patients, but rest easy, there is no cause for concern. Botox injections involve a needle, which is likely why patients think it will be painful. In fact, the needle is extremely tiny, and the injection makes such a small impact, that it’s really no big deal. You can always request an anesthetic cream to be applied before the procedure, and a good Med- Spa will always comply with your wishes. The pain is minimal,but Winter Park Laser offers complimentary numbing cream.

Myth 3: Botox can cause droopy eye- lids. “Ptosis” or drooping eyelids is a potential side effect of Botox, however this is rare, self-limited and treatable. We en- courage all potential Botox candidates to always have this procedure done in a safe environment, in a Medical Spa/doctor’s office, never at a Botox party in someone's house, day spa or anywhere that isn’t properly licensed. Botox can create a whole new energy to your face, stop excessive sweating and re- ally help you to look your best.

Why Guys get Laser Hair Removal

2011-04-18T13:42:00.000-07:00

Great ARticle: http://www.thenewage.co.za/15913-12-53-Why_guys_do_it

Why guys get Lasef Tom Selleck’s hairy chest floats your boat then who are we to judge? But some guys are a little self-conscious about their hairy bods Would you believe me if I told you that Jay-Z and Diddy wax their private areas? Probably not, but according to gossip they do. And there is no doubt that Wayne Rooney waxes his chest because we’ve all seem him on the field with his shirt off.

Hair removal is a growing trend in male circles. Between waxing, shaving, electrolysis, tweezing, trimming and laser hair removal, men of all ages, sizes, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds and professions are getting rid of excess body hair but it’s hard to pinpoint the exact reasons why men are opting to do this.

Gone are the days of the ’60s musical Hair, which was symbolic of the cultural counter-revolution of hippydom and freedom.

For some it’s a personal choice – some men simply prefer to have less body hair. A few guys have told me that “chicks dig it”. Even so, this too is a personal choice made by individual couples.

Athletes, including cyclists, runners and swimmers, typically remove body hair as part of their training to ensure the hair does not interfere with their fitness regimen, as well as to reduce the extent of an infection, spandex discomfort and resistance in the water. Cyclists like Lance Armstrong shave their legs, not just because it shows of their sexy pins but because it makes crashing a whole lot easier. How so? With hair, you tend to get greater tearing or abrasions and it’s so much easier to clean and bandage a wound without all that hair to deal with.

Our own swimming hero, Ryk Neethling, also has a hairless chest – if you’re a woman, you probably would have noticed. Swimmers keep their chests hairless to reduce drag in the water and to make sure that when they win medals, their medallions don’t get lost in a jungle of tangled strands.

Brad Pitt, Taye Diggs, Ronaldo and Usher are some of the other celebrity hotties known to like the smooth look – and we ladies have no complaints, generally.

Unfortunately, there are also a few chance factors to consider. You may end haveing multiple surgeries if this is what you decide to do. Depending on how much you want to remove, you may have to have 10 or more surgeries to remove stretchmarks. If the dermatologist doesn't know what he/she is doing you could end up with permanent damage. Also some insurance companies will not cover this type of surgery, so you might have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get this procedure done.
To conclude this article, you can highly reduce your stretchmarks by having Laser Stretch Mark Removal done.

This non-coherent laser requires the use of a particular light beam which causes long-term damage to hair follicles so that hair will not regrow. Filtered light is delivered from a device or hand piece into the skin, where it targets dark material like the pigment found in the hair. This results in thermal or mechanical damage to cells and connecting tissues that surrounds the roots of the hair while avoiding the encompassing tissues and skin from injury.

One strong feature of IPL hair removal is the lower price of the procedure. This is among the biggest reasons explaining why laser hair removal is so popular in the hair removal industry. IPL treatments are cheaper than the normal price of laser hair removal. Additionally, this program was specifically built to cover giant areas of skin in a brief period of time. This indicates that treatment on body parts for instance the back and the leg can be attained in a tiny part of the time required with standard lasers.

As an extra feature, people who have successfully undergone this procedure felt only some modest form of pain and agony. laser hair removal is less unpleasant than other methods. laser hair removal can function on almost all types of skin though better results are produced in persons with darker hair colour and lighter skin color. The even better news is the fact that You’ll find presently IPL machines that deal with different skin colors.

This is a great article. Many people don't realize how much money you save over time by not shaving, waxing or tweezing and choosing laser hair removal.
When it comes to hair removal, individuals can choose between waxing, hair removal creams and various other methods. But often these remedies are not effective and can have effects on the skin. This is true in the case of over the counter creams which can often have side effects and reactions as well.

Individuals are spoilt for choices and are often left pondering on which method to use. Laser hair removal is one method which could be considered. It is a modern and effective way of hair removal and has proven to be beneficial than other mediums of hair removal. Here are reasons why you should go in for laser treatment.

Effective and quick

Unlike other hair removal methods like using creams and waxing which have temporary results, laser treatment provides results that are permanent. Not to mention the safe results. Patients have to sit for short and hassle free sessions. Make sure you get the treatment done from a certified clinic.

Choice and cost

With developments in laser technology, people can choose the type of laser treatment they want. Due to their popularity and the rise in number of clinics, treatment costs have become affordable.

A much safer option

Treatments for Wrinkles

2010-12-14T13:25:00.003-08:00

Great article: http://nathancharette.evonybuddy.com/2010/12/14/wrinkles-causes-symptoms-and-treatment/
Wrinkle is a ridge or crease of a surface. It usually refers to folds on fabric or clothes , or on the skin of an organism; the folds are generally random and do not exhibit any repeating pattern. Wrinkles are the thin, creased, and sagging skin that is especially noticeable on the face, neck, and hands. Wind, heat and chemicals and the natural effects of aging cause a certain amount of wrinkling in everyone, but it is much worse in people who spend a lot of time in the sun. Years of exposure to the sun cause “photoaging,” which includes freckles, yellowing, roughness, visible blood vessels, and dark spots, as well as wrinkling.

Typically, as a person ages, the sweat and oil glands of the skin become less numerous and smaller in size. This causes the skin to lose moisture and to dry out, and it soon begins to sag in places where the collagen, the elastic fibers that support the skin, has weakened the most. The skin around the eyelids, jaw, and neck is especially thin, and therefore more naturally prone to aging. In addition to sun exposure, smoking may contribute to the formation of wrinkles. Finally, it is believed that some wrinkling is predetermined genetically from one’s parents.

Causes of Wrinkles

Aging is also one of the main causes of skin aging. Years of sun exposure cause the supporting structures of the skin, primarily the collagen and elastin, to weaken and break down. In addition, as a person ages, the sweat and oil glands of the skin become less numerous and smaller in size. This causes the skin to lose moisture and to dry out. Dry skin with weak collagen and elastin will sag, shrivel, and wrinkle. The skin around the eyelids, jaw, and neck is especially thin, and therefore more naturally prone to aging.

Other environmental factors, including cigarette smoke and pollution, particularly ozone, may hasten ageing by producing oxygen-free radicals. These are particles produced by many of the body’s normal chemical processes in excessive amounts they can damage cell membranes and interact with genetic material, possibly contributing to the development of a number of skin disorders, including wrinkles and, more importantly, cancer. Rapid weight loss can also cause wrinkles by reducing the volume of fat cells that cushion the face. This not only makes a person look gaunt, but can cause the skin to sag.

Symptoms of Wrinkles

1. Deeplyformed lines.

2. Skin that is wrinkled may also have a tough, leathery appearance if the person has had a lot of exposure to the sun.

3. Fine, crinkling crosshatch marks.

Treatment of Wrinkles

There are numerous over-the-counter treatment options for wrinkles, including various creams and lotions. Prescription treatments, including the retinoid cream renova, are also an option.Removing skin layers to reduce wrinkles or irregular depressions is an effective way to regain smoother, more youthful looking skin. Dermabrasion (scraping layers away) and chemical peels (dissolving skin away) are two of the traditional methods used in skin resurfacing.

Laser skin resurfacing with an ablative laser (such as an erbium or carbon dioxide laser) is another technique that, like dermabrasion and deeper chemical peels, may require some downtime during the healing process. Other treatment options include Dermabrasion, a procedure that sands away the top layers of skin. Injection of substances such as fat or collagen, which is a gelatin-like substance, under the skin. It is one of the traditional methods used in skin resurfacing. Other lasers, known as non-ablative lasers, may also be beneficial in treating wrinkles. These lasers work by heating the dermis and stimulating collagen growth. This process, which leaves the outer layers of skin intact, has no downtime associated with it. Botulinum toxin- this is used for wrinkles between the eyebrows and around the eyes. The toxin is injected into the muscle that caused the wrinkle. It paralyzes the muscle, so that the wrinkles gradually disappear when the muscle isn’t used.

Winter Park Laser offers non-ablative lasers for wrinkles, chemical peels, and injectables such as botox. www.winterparklaser.com

2. In most of the cases we are spending lots of money on getting temporary relief. If you compare the time and money you spend on these temporary treatments for hair removing, you would realize that you are actually spending many more times that what you would otherwise spend on laser hair removal treatment.
3. Laser hair removal treatment has been proved to be safe and most efficient. Since this is safe on the skin, you need not to worry about skin irritation or any other burning etc.
4. Time duration for undergoing Laser treatment is much shorter than most other methods like electrolysis.
5. This treatment is painless and safe. Generally it has been observed that few customers face discomfort and pain when they take medication or undergo other methods of removal. But this is not the case with laser hair removal treatment.
Side Effects:-1. where the laser treatment is applied causes redness. It may last for a week or more than this. It is a most common symptom observed in the bikini area and the armpits.
2. People who have dark skin may develop blisters. They will disappear with time, in about ten to fifteen days. You must avoid touching the blisters as they can get infected and worse, if broken, they will leave scars on your skin.
3. Some people may experience a lightening of the skin whereas others may see their skin becoming darker around the area where the treatment was given. This is a side effect of laser hair removal may last for months.
Ending:- Once again we would like to tell you that laser hair removal treatment has more benefits and has a lot of options for all those people who are finding the permanent treatment for hair removing.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal to Shaving

2010-11-23T08:30:00.000-08:00

This is a great article. Laser Hair Removal can save you a lot of time and money in the long term.

Laser hair removal and shaving are two of the most popular hair removal methods of our time. And while shaving has been a common form of hair removal for a long time, it has seen strong competition from the laser. While shaving may be the cheapest and easiest form of hair removal, it is also the most temporary, which hairs growing back after just a day or two. Laser hair removal treatments on the other side are aimed to permanently reduce hair, often with strong reduction after just a few sessions.

During shaving, hairs are not removed from the root, which makes it very easy for them to grow back to the length they are programmed to be. Shaving also does not have any long term effect on the frequency of hair growth, meaning that even if someone shaves everyday, it will not make a difference to the amount of hair that is growing. And with shaving it is hard to achieve completely smooth skin and many people experience constant stubble. Anyone who shaves on a frequent basis knows it is far from a pleasant experience. Cuts, nicks, rashes, bleeding and skin irritation are common side effects of shaving.

During laser hair removal, the heat from the laser destroys the hair, but hairs are not plucked from the root, and fall out on their own in about 10 days. After the dead hairs have shed the skin will stay smooth for a couple of weeks until it is time be treated again. Hair grows in different stages which explain why not all hair can be treated in one session. While it is possible to do laser hair removal at home, with small devices that are now available, most people still go to a professional salon to get it done. Several treatments spaced apart by several weeks are needed. Successful laser hair removal treatments will lead to permanent reduction in hair, and any side effects other than slight redness in the treated area is very rare.

Both shaving and laser hair removal have their pros and cons. While shaving might be easy, cheap and convenient to do at home at anytime, it can never lead to any reduction in hair. Many people are fed up with the frequent annoyance of having to shave and turn to laser hair removal for a solution. And while laser hair removal requires a trip to a clinic, and costs more, there is a big chance of permanent reduction in hair, meaning never having to use any form of hair removal again.

Another advantage to laser hair removal is that it can reach areas that would otherwise be hard to shave, such as the backside of the body. For someone who would like to worry less about constantly having to shave, laser hair removal could be a great solution. But not everyone is a good candidate for laser hair removal, so it is important to consider a consultation to find out.

What Really Happens at a Medical Spa

2010-11-18T13:55:00.000-08:00

This is a great article!
What Really Happens At A Medical Spa?
Didi Smith on November 18, 2010 — Leave a Comment
Nowadays, cosmetic medical treatments are in demand. This is attributable what we always see on tv and magazines. Perfect pictures became a regular element of our way of life that it is subconsciously imprinted on our minds that we should be perfect in every way. Imperfections are frowned upon and they are thought of as something you need to enhance. This is really the reason why cosmetic medical methods are very popular not just to celebrities but to common people as well.
Most of us have this belief that being perfect has its advantages and is definitely a plus. Unlike before, people getting cosmetic treatments are not so open in regards to this, but these days most people are preaching about it. So why do people make an effort in order to be perfect in how they appear? Well, it is our human nature to want something beautiful. We always choose things which are better than others. Naturally, this is often applied to how we look. We believe that if we look better than others and when we have no imperfections then things will be easier for us. This is most evident in social situations.
People are initially drawn to those who look good. One other reason is that it’s thought to be an easy option. Rather than spending lots of time to attempt to look great, these treatments last for a short time or an hour or so. This is also in correlation with our busy lifestyle. We don’t wish to spend lots of time on something and when there’s a faster method of doing it. This is why cosmetic medical treatments are extremely popular.
There are lots of of procedures to choose from nowadays. You will find surgical and non-surgical treatments. The ones that require surgery includes the traditional plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Probably the most prevalent aesthetic surgeries are mammoplasty consisting of breast enhancement, breast reduction and breast lifts; abdominoplasty which is popularly known as tummy tuck; blepharoplasty which reshape the eyelids and applying a permanent liner; buttock augmentation or what we commonly refer to as butt implants; liposuction which removes fat from the body, among others.
Non-surgical procedures include laser treatments, chemical peel, botox, microdermabrasion, facelifts, and a lot more. These are just some treatments we can choose from to get the perfection we want. But nevertheless, we should always remember that beauty is in the eye of beholder. We might not think we are beautiful however, many people may think otherwise.
If you are thinking about understanding what dermatologists and various medical doctors operating nonsurgical cosmetic medical spas think of the next IPL and aesthetic fractional skin systems by Syneron, Sciton, Alma, Cutera, Solta, Palomar, Candela, Cynosure, Lumenis , or applications such as Thermage skin tightening, Smart lipo, Restylane, tumescent liposuction and photofacials, remember to stop by the aesthetic fractional laser skin forums on Medical Spa MD, a community of health professionals practicing aesthetic medicine.
Medical Spa MD is a community of Plastic Surgeons, Cosmetic Dermatologists, and Aesthetic Physicians with more than 4,500 physician members. Medical Spa MD offers Thermage and provides information on non-surgical cosmetic medical technologies and treatments.

by jodibw at Citysearch
I've always had problem skin. A not so nice mix of acne, giant pores, hyper pigmentation/sun damage mixed in with some fine lines/wrinkles. I've used every product on the planet- from Rx to OTC, prestigious to infomercial. I got facials regularly. It wasn't until I started going to the Winter Park Laser and Anti Aging Center that I really noticed a difference in my skin. Lisa gives the best facial in town- hands down. She takes a vested interest in your skin and wants it to be just a beautiful as you do. Aneta erases years if sun damage w/ IPL. All the ladies at Winter Park Laser are so caring and dedicated to making you look and feel better. If you want the skin you didn't think was possible to have, go see the ladies at Winter Park Laser and Anti Aging Center.

Photo Dynamic Therapy is An Excellent Alternative for Removing Pre-Cancerous Lesions

2010-09-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

Photo Dynamic Therapy is an excellent treatment for the removal of pre-cancerous lesions. The greatest advantage of PDT is the ability to selectively treat an entire area of skin damage and precancers (blanket or field treatment). PDT generally decreases the likelihood of lighter or darker skin spots (post-inflammatory hyper- or hypopigmentation) caused by routine freezing with liquid nitrogen. Additionally, PDT frequently may facilitate smoother skin and an overall improved appearance, tone, color, and enhanced skin texture.

In several studies, PDT has been preferred by many patients for ease of use and recovery as compared to alternative treatments including freezing and chemotherapy creams like fluorouracil (Efudex). The PDT side effects may be milder with less downtime than with fluorouracil.

For patients with many skin lesions, PDT may be generally more effective than repeated spot treatment with topical liquid nitrogen. Some patients are unable to tolerate the prolonged treatment required with fluorouracil or imiquimod (Aldara) because of the irritation, redness, and possible downtime with these topical creams. PDT has become a very well tolerated, essentially painless, noninvasive (no needles or surgery required) procedure to help reduce sun damage and enhance the overall cosmetic outcome (particularly in sensitive areas of the face and chest).

Winter Park Laser has been performing Photo-Dynamic Therapy with Levulan for Sun Damage and Acne for over 6 years in Orlando.

Velashape Voted #1 for Cellulite Reduction

2010-09-03T09:01:00.000-07:00

2009 Reader's Choice - Top 5 Cellulite Reduction Procedures
Thursday, December 31, 2009 10:31 PM

Cellulite doesn't have to be an insurmountable challenge anymore. There are several treatments available to minimize the appearance of cellulite; here are our readers' top 5.

Cellulite is somewhere near the very top of every woman's most hated list. The skin dimpling affects women at all sizes, even the very small. It is caused by inconsistencies in the texture of the fat under the skin and affects women more often than men. There are creams available that claim to help smooth the skin, but most physicians agree that they aren't very helpful and a more aggressive treatment is needed to truly smooth out those cottage cheese thighs.

1 - VelaShape: VelaShape from Syneron uses a combination of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Infrared Light - plus tissue mobilization combined with suction to reduce the appearance of cellulite and re-contour the body. Multiple treatments are needed to achieve optimum results but there is no downtime and treatment generally takes about 30 minutes. It is an FDA approved device and has been shown to also provide circumferential reduction.

Dr. Oz Discusses Non-surgical Age erasers

2010-08-31T12:06:00.000-07:00

Dr Oz Age Erasers Look Decades Younger In Minutes
Today Dr. Oz explores the 3 ways to help you turn back the clock. These cutting edge technologies will help you look decades younger in a matter of minutes, and you won’t have to go under the knife.
Wednesday on Dr. Oz Recaps - Beauty breakthroughs! Can you look younger instantly? Dr Oz Age Erasers; Dr. Oz explores 3 no-tears technologies that’ll wipe away the years.
Younger-Skin Secrets; Do your home remedies work? Dr. Oz tests your youth-enhancing tips. Cramps Remedy For PMS. Plus Dr Oz Recommended Easy Chicken Parmesan Recipe.

Dr. Oz explores the use of laser therapy to eliminate spider veins. Another common problem, dark eye circles and under-eye bags can be reduced with a series of hyaluronic acid injections. what you can do to get rid of spider veins. Dr Oz says; Under-eye bags and dark eye circles can sometimes be caused by allergies. Try an antihistamine first. Dr. Oz explains the causes of sagging neck skin, also known as jowls or the “turkey neck,” and what a procedure called laser liposuction can do to reverse this sign of aging.

Dr Kenneth Rothaus Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has led research the new liposuction procedure that uses lasers to heat the fat which makes it easier to remove joins Dr Oz today talking about how light waves can tighten the skin for turkey neck and fat in the jowls. You can see in the video where Dr Rothaus does the the lipsuction laser on Angie a patient who complained about the sagging skin on her neck. The results of this procedure that takes about 20 minutes will last for years with skin tightening and costs approximately 2500 to 3000 dollars.

Dr. Katz is a leading innovator of advanced laser technology, smart and power liposuction, and skin rejuvenation techniques, he joins Dr Oz for the second Beauty Eraser. In this video Evelyn has spider veins over the top of her legs and will not wear shorts, skirts or bathing suits she is so embarrassed by them. She wants her spider veins erased for forever. Dr Katz uses this new laser therapy that goes through the skin. Dr katz Synergy laser therapy for spider veins cost 400 to 500 per treatment, and where Evelyn's spider veins were so extensive she would probably need at least two treatments per leg.

Dr Jeanine Downie used a treatment of Restylane Injections for dark circles and bags under the eyes. It was a profound difference immediately. The cost of Restylane injections cost 750.00 a syringe, so Dr Oz says both eyes would cost 1500.00 and it lasts a year.

Botox Treats More than wrinkles

2010-07-23T07:33:00.000-07:00

Botox Treats More Than Wrinkles
Everyone knows about Botox, the wrinkle-reducer that’s injected into the face to retain a youthful look. It turns out that the procedure now has a number of new uses. Botox can also reduce excessive sweating and relax facial muscles.

We’ve all seen models with flawless, porcelain skin. Forgetting that much of this perfection is due to hours of makeup and airbrushing, their skin probably does start out smoother than normal people.

The rest of us, with real-world skin, are left envious.

“I have open pores and very greasy skin around this area, next to the nose,” Botox patient Guadalupe Pensado said.

Those skin problems have bothered Pensado for a long time, but there wasn’t all that much she could do about it.

But now, she’s seeing facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kamran Jafri, who’s developed a new way to use Botox.

“Right along the cheek area here on the right side, we have some moderate pores there, and even as I’m working with the Q-tip I see a fair amount of oil production as well,” Dr. Jafri said.

A close skin exam confirms the problem, and the solution is intra-dermal Botox injections, which are different from the anti-wrinkle variety.

“It doesn’t go below the skin, it doesn’t go in the muscles below it,” Dr. Jafri said. “The injection is only in the skin, to affect the things that we’re seeing on the skin.

Dr. Jafri injects a more dilute Botox solution every quarter inch or so in the problem areas, and the treatment works by doing the same thing that deeper wrinkle injections do, only in the skin.

“Our skin contains these tiny little muscles, and these muscles are what give us goose bumps – they keep our pores open,” Dr. Jafri said. “By weakening those muscles, much like weakening the muscles that cause wrinkles, you actually cause the skin to tighten.

“You decrease oil production, and you help the pores shrink up a little bit,” Jafri said.

The treatment shrinks pores, and patients report reduced oiliness. In some cases, even the discoloration of skin that comes with acne is reduced as well.

Minutes after her treatment, Pensado can see a difference.

“I love it, look at my nose,” she said. “Of course I can tell.”

Women are Tired of Stretchmarks-Now You can Reduce them permanently!

2010-07-22T13:57:00.000-07:00

Millions of women have stretchmarks caused by pregnancy, hormonal changes, weight gain, or rapid growth during puberty.

This can improve the unsightly color and skin texture associated with stretch marks, leaving women with smoother, better looking skin with no downtime!

Removing Hair has been sexy for over 200 years!

2010-03-04T11:44:00.000-08:00

History shows us that women and men throughout time have been trying to remove excess hair-in ancient times the less hair, the more affluent you were! Electrolysis started in the 1800's and is still used to remove blonde, gray, and red hairs permanently but does it one follicle at a time. Over the past few decades Laser hair Removal has taken over as the best, least painful treatment to remove hair! Instead of painfully treating each individual pore, lasers project light into the enitre area of skin, destroying 15-25% of the follicles in the anagen cycle. After 6-8 treatments, the hair is gone! Winter Park Laser has been specializing in hair removal for over 6 years! For more information please go to www.winterparklaser.com.

Why do Women have more cellulite than men?

2009-08-28T08:25:00.000-07:00

Women greatly outnumber men in developing the condition of cellulite by 90-98%. Many believe this is due to a homronal component because estrogen which enlargens the size of fat cells & produces water retention. When fat cells compress and water stagnates in the interstitial tissue, the ezcess fluids form pockets of trapped water, resulting in the dimply appearance you can see on the skin. It tends to occur most in the buttocks, and thighs. Velashape is the only FDA approved non-surgical treatment for cellulite reduction, body sculpting and inches lost, in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, arms, and stomach. Velashape utilizes radiofrequency and infrared light to liquify fat cells combined with suctioning and massage tools to increase lymphatic drainage.

Fractional Resurfacing Offers Great Results for Melasma

2009-08-11T14:22:00.000-07:00

If you live with melasma; excess pigmentation of the face, most commonly on the malar area (the upper cheek), bridge of nose, forehead, and upper lip, that occurs in half of women during pregnancy then you know the aggravation of trying to cover the pigment up with make-up, and with topical treatments that are ineffective. Now, fractional skin resurfacing with the Palomar 1540 makes huge long-lasting improvements for clients with Melasma.

A recent study was done at the Aesthetica Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center to determine the efficacy of the Star Lux 1540 in treating melasma, both short and long term. In the study 6 patients were evaluated and assessed with the Wood’s light to classify melasma as epidermal, dermal, or mixed. Each patient had before and after pictures taken and was treated with the 1540 hand-piece every 3 weeks for 3 to four treatments. The results proved that the pigmentation was significantly lightened, and all patients showed an average of a 50% improvement of their melasma pigment and the improvement was long lasting over the follow-up in months to com.
