Diode Laser Hair Removal - A Must Read Information

You might have heard of diode laser hair removal. This article explains what is diode laser hair removal, the good and the bad things about it.

What Actually Is This Diode Thing?

Laser

The diode laser is an extremely proficient machine made up of tiny diodes or semiconductors. They are assembled together to produce light.

The diode laser has a longer wavelength than the Alexandrite and Ruby lasers. (Ruby laser is a red-colored beam of light used to strike the dark melanin, which is a biological pigment, present in the hair follicles.) Hence, diode is able to penetrate deeper into the skin, allowing treatment on dark-skinned people, unlike the other two lasers.

Yet, the diode doesn't promise desired results for the dark-skinned people. However, for people with dark, coarse hair, diode laser hair removal is a boon. And it is particularly effective over large areas of the body such as back and chest. So, all you men out there, if you want to get rid of the ugly hair on your chest and back, diode laser hair removal is for you.

The Good Things about Diode Laser Hair Removal

o It has a longer wavelength that has the potential to provide better results to dark-skinned people.

o The longer wavelength provides deeper and safer penetration into the skin.

o People with black and brown hair are the most benefited.

o Lets larger areas of the body recover faster.

The Bad Things about Diode Laser Hair Removal

o People with white or light hair won't get any benefit.

o Although it has a potential for dark-skinned people, they should not have higher expectations yet.

o You may get burns, scars, discoloration of the skin, swelling, and redness as side effects. (This usually happens when the doctor is not qualified).

In addition to this, the long-lasting success as well as the side effects of this technique differs with the person in question.

So, if you are planning to go for diode laser hair removal, select a qualified doctor. Don't be in a hurry while choosing the doctor. Browse the internet for reviews on this new technique. Talk to people who have undergone this treatment. It is fast gaining popularity, so you can easily find someone in your vicinity who has had a laser experience.

Laser Liposuction - Not All Machines Are Equal For Laser Liposculpture and Body Contouring

You are very lucky if you have waited until now to consider having liposuction, or liposculpture body contouring. The new laser liposuction techniques are a vast improvement over traditional methods. The new laser technology melts fat and tightens skin resulting in a much gentler liposculpture procedure and minimal loose hanging skin after liposuction.

Whether you have a double chin, tummy fat after childbirth, saddle bags, spare tire, or just little problem areas around the hips or thighs, the new laser assisted liposculpture and laser body contouring techniques may be what you are looking for.

Laser

Not all of the machines in use are the same. Some laser wavelengths, such as the 924nm and 924/975nm work much better than others. You need to understand which technology is best if you are considering laser liposuction.

Laser Liposuction - Not All Machines Are Equal For Laser Liposculpture and Body Contouring

Liposuction is the most commonly performed plastic surgery operation.

Problems Associated with Traditional Liposuction
-Traditional liposuction is done by inserting a metal tube called a cannula beneath the skin into fat containing areas of the body. High pressure suction is applied and fat is suctioned out from under the skin. While the procedure works well, it is traumatic as the suction pulls out not only fat but also some of the connective tissue which holds the skin tight to the body. There are several problems which can occur after liposuction:


o Loose Skin After Liposuction
o Contour Deformities-Skin Irregularities
o Prolonged Bruising
o Difficult and Painful Recovery

How Laser Liposuction Works-During laser assisted liposuction, a very small laser fiber is inserted beneath the skin. Heat from the laser melts the fat into a thin liquid. The liquid fat is then more easily removed with very small cannulas usually only2-3 millimeters in diameter. The heat from the laser also tightens the skin, and closes many blood vessels, thus less bleeding.


Advantages of Laser Liposuction


o Skin Tightening!!!!!!!
o Liquefaction of Fat = Fewer Contour Deformities
o Uniform Skin Appearance after Liposuction
o Smaller Cannulae = Tiny Incision
o Much Less Traumatic
o Can Contour Visible Areas in Thinner Patients
o Excellent for Touch Ups after standard Liposuction

Which Laser is best for Liposuction?

There are several different machines available using several different laser wavelengths-the 924nm, combined 924/975nm, the 1064nm, and the 1308nm are the most popular.

I prefer the 924nm and combination 924/975nm laser because the 924nm is very selectively absorbed by fat tissue. The 924nm liquefies 3 times as much fat as some of the other wavelengths and is also more strongly absorbed by blood vessels, which helps reduce bleeding and bruising.


Are You A Candidate for Laser Liposuction?

If you are healthy, do not smoke, and have extra fat beneath your chin, around your tummy, on your hips, thighs, arms or knees, and are relatively fit and not obese, then you are likely an excellent candidate for laser liposuction. The younger you are the better your skin tightening will be after laser liposuction. I have, however, seen good skin tightening after laser liposuction in a 70 year old person.

If you are obese and significantly over weight, you should lose weight first before liposuction.

If you are considering laser liposuction you really need to know the facts and understand the technology. Once you do the advantages of the new 924nm and 924/975nm based laser liposuction technology are obvious-there is nothing else like it on the market.

Liquid Face Lift - The Remarkable, Non-Surgical, Minimal Down Time Facelift

Do you look in the mirror and see your mother or father looking back at you?
We all inherit our facial features and we all at some point begin to age and our face reminds us of one or both of our aging parents. That's OK, but not when we are in our late thirties or early forties. We all want to stay young looking but most of us do not want to go through a face lift.

The exciting new liquid face lift using FDA approved soft tissue fillers has enabled us to actually plump specific areas of the face that have lost fat and sagged. These new filler techniques actually allow us to lift the cheek and drooping areas around the mouth.

\"face Lift\"

Why Our Faces Begin to Look Older
We talk to so many people every day about some type of facial rejuvenation. Most men and women feel that their faces look aged because they are sagging and worry that they need to be nipped and tucked to look younger. These patients look in the mirror see a need for a facelift and a facelift only. In fact, there are many things that contribute to an aging face: lines, wrinkles, discoloration and sagging skin. The one factor that most people don't consider is loss of fullness.

Liquid Face Lift - The Remarkable, Non-Surgical, Minimal Down Time Facelift

A youthful face is plump with full rounded cheeks. The cruelness of aging is that people lose fat in their faces and gain it elsewhere. Sadly fat in a face contributes to filling out the skin and keeping a face looking smooth and supple while fat tends to do the opposite in other areas of the body.

We can't blame all aging on a loss of fat. At 25, we stop producing collagen. Collagen plays a major role in the strength of skin and its decreased production leads to sagging. In addition, loss of muscle occurs with age and affects the facial contour.

Why Have a Facelift?
If loss of fullness is a significant reason for our aging, why do people need and get facelifts? Why not just add fullness to achieve a youthful look again?
The complex answer is that some people need volume, some need surgery and some need both. A properly done face lift in the appropriately selected patient can produce an excellent result.

The Liquid Face Lift
Rarely are people excited to have surgery, so many people that come to see us ask about other options or things to do in the present time to possibly delay the eventual need for a surgical procedure. The internet and media have discussed and promoted the liquid face lift and many patients ask about it.

This lift is a lifting, plumping, filling, smoothing and re-contouring of the face with a combination of various injectable dermal fillers and neurotoxins.
The injectable dermal fillers that we use in our office for facial re-contouring are hydroxyl apatite (Radiesse(TM) and hyaluronic acid (Juvederm(TM), Restalyn(TM) and now Perlane(TM)). Most people know these products when used to treat nasal labial folds (the lines connecting your nose to your face) or to plump the lips.

These soft tissue fillers can also be used to increase fullness in other areas of the face and this is what the liquid face lift achieves.

The mid cheek area can be plumped or augmented with fillers and this new volume significantly enhances a youthful face. In fact, cheeks with more volume typically have less dramatic nasal labial fold lines. A third area treated in this lift is the pre-jowl sulcus. These are the vertical lines that are on either side of the mouth. They connect the edges of the mouth to the jaw. These are also known as Marionette lines.

To achieve these results, often a few different fillers are used in each procedure. Each filler listed above has its own specific characteristics. They are made in different ways and are intended to be used for different situations. The use of fillers for facial augmentation is very patient specific and surgeon specific.

Botox(TM) Also Helps Enhance the Liquid Face Lift
The use of botulinum toxin (Botox(TM)) in addition to injectable dermal fillers can make for better, longer-lasting results. Botox(TM) blocks the nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions. These repeated muscle contractions can contribute to the breakdown of the soft tissue filler. With less muscle contraction after Botox TM the filler used for your liquid face lift should last longer.

No, Botox(TM) does not make you look like a figure in the wax museum! You look like yourself after Botox(TM), just you without frown lines, worry lines, crows feet bunny lines, and lip lines. Botox(TM) has been safely used in young children with spastic muscle problems since 1978 and is widely used around the world.

How Long Does It Take to Have A Liquid Face Lift?
Facial recontouring as described above can be accomplished in an office visit. A combination of nerve blocks and local anesthetics makes for the treatment to be very easily tolerated. What must happen first though is a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon. In our office, we perform a lengthy review of your past medical history, allergies, previous facial treatments and ultimately your facial concerns and goals. The whole visit including treatment may take 45 minutes to an hour.

How Will I Look Right After?
You will see the early results immediately-we hand you a mirror and let you see. The results will improve over the next 3-6 weeks as the filler absorbs fluids and the body starts making new collagen in response to the filler.

Usually there is minimal or no bruising. The area may be slightly swollen and pink from the injection, but ice packs take care of this. With makeup you should be fine right after treatment or certainly the next day.

Who Is the Best Candidate for the Liquid Face Lift?
Ideal candidates are realistic men and women who are beginning to notice gaunt, sunken features and suffering from loss of tissue volume causing wrinkles, lines, and folds. These patients should have good skin texture and elasticity, be in good physical and psychological health and non smoking. Most patients are in their mid to late thirties up to patients in their fifties and sixties. Age does not matter, what matters is whether you have lost facial volume and want to plump your face to a more youthful appearance.
