Feeling tired and worn out can be an unshakeable feeling at times. If your body does not get the rest it needs, you are likely to experience issues with the increased prominence of under-eye bags. Fortunately, there are a number of things that can be done to make sure you don’t look as tired as you feel.

One simple and effective way of dealing with under-eye bags is to apply frozen spoons to this area for a few minutes each morning. The cold sensation will cause your body to constrict blood vessels which will in turn improve the appearance of your under-eye area. However, this home remedy is only a temporary solution. If you are looking for a more permanent answer to your under-eye problems then cosmetic enhancements, such as fillers, will be your best bet. See below for more information on how fillers can help with this common esthetic problem.

What do fillers do?

Fillers plump up facial skin, which can help combat multiple signs of aging and correct hollow areas.

What type of fillers are best for the under-eye area?

We recommend treating the under-eye area with fillers that contain hyaluronic acid in their formulation. Restylane is particularly well suited to treat this area.

How long will the effects of fillers last?

The benefits of injectable fillers can last up to nine months in the under-eye area. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be easily reversed if you would like to end the results of your treatment earlier.

Unsightly varicose veins are a top reason many of us choose to wear clothes that conceal our bodies. Spider veins are particularly troublesome because they often protrude from the skin in highly visible patterns. Spider veins most frequently show up on the legs, and they form for a variety of reasons including genetics, obesity, and hormonal fluctuations.

Fortunately, due to advances in medical technology there are now several treatment options available that can drastically improve the appearance of varicose veins. Sclerotherapy, for example, has become one the most popular vein treatments in the world, and it helps millions of patients improve the appearance of varicose veins.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sclerotherapy

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy utilizes an injectable medication to remove unsightly veins anywhere on the body. This treatment is especially effective for small to medium sized veins such as spider veins.

Is spider vein removal safe?

Since spider veins have no physiological function they can be safely removed for cosmetic reasons.

How long will it take before I see results?

Patients usually see dramatic improvement in the appearance of varicose veins in three to four weeks following the procedure. Some require several treatments to achieve good results.

What is recovery like?

After the procedure, patients are advised to wear compression stockings for a period of 3 days. Patients should also avoid excessive heat exposure for the first 48 hours after the treatment.

Are there other alternative vein treatments available?

Laser vein therapy is another excellent treatment option for varicose veins. It utilizes light energy to accurately target and destroy the unwanted veins.

Botox and fillers are popular with men because they are non-invasive and affordable ways to smooth out facial lines. The treatments are easy, fast, and effective. Many men start them at the very first signs of aging. Why look older than you have to?

There are many simple things you can do to keep looking beautiful no matter what your age. Chemical peels, for example, have been around since the 1990s, and offer variety of benefits:

1. Customizable

All chemical peels are not created equal. They are quite versatile and can be customized to fit your needs.

2. Quick Recovery

The side effects include mild irritation and peeling. That is why it is very important to use a good moisturizer in the days following the treatment.

3. They Help with Acne and Acne Scars 

The ingredients in chemical peels penetrate deep into the skin, which is why they help prevent acne. They can also help improve the appearance of acne scars.

4. Smoother Skin

Chemical peels remove dead skin cells and promote new cell turnover. The result is an improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and smoother skin texture.

5. Improved Skin Tone

Chemical peels can significantly improve the appearance of sun spots, creating a more even skin tone.

Are you looking for a special gift for your Mom for Mother’s Day, her birthday, or any special occasion? Want a gift that will surprise and delight your mother? Treating your Mom to a photofacial is a gift that can be truly life-changing.

What is a Photofacial?

An IPL photofacial is a cutting-edge non-invasive treatment for people who want beautiful, younger-looking skin. Because photofacials treat skin that has been affected by the sun, the procedures are especially popular in fair weather cities like Los Angeles.

The “photo” in the word “photofacial” refers to light. Photofacials use intense pulse light to remove signs of aging, including sun spots and broken capillaries. The treatment also increases collagen production, which makes the skin look smoother.

How Does a Photofacial Work?

A doctor or a highly trained aesthetic technician will use a device that emits intense pulsed light during the treatment. This device is called IPL. Areas of the skin that have darker pigments, such as sun spots, absorb more of the intense pulsed light than other areas of the skin. Then, the body’s own natural healing processes will eventually remove those areas that have absorbed the most light.

How Long Does It Take?

Patients usually see significant results after the first session. A full course of treatment is usually three to six sessions, spaced three weeks apart.

Will There Be Any Downtime with IPL Treatments?

There’s no downtime. After a session, you can immediately return to your normal activities.

Recent study found that 84.4 percent of men in the U.S. now remove hair on more than just their faces. This growing trend is due to several factors:

Culture shifts

Male body hair used to be associated with masculinity. That has changed somewhat in recent years. Chest hair is still considered attractive, but excessive hair on the back and shoulders is not.

New options

The razor is no longer the only hair removal option for men. New techniques with longer lasting results have been developed to help men remove unwanted hair.

Popularity of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular solutions for hair removal.

It works by targeting hair follicles with a laser and removing them with the heat generated by it. It can take 6-8 sessions for the best results, with sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Dark, coarse hair responds best to laser hair removal, which is why it can be such an effective method of hair removal for men.
