Botox has always been a popular treatment among women. Recently, there has also been a growth in popularity of Botox treatment for men. In fact, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there has been a 248% increase in the number of men receiving Botox treatment between 2000 and 2010. In 2012, Botox was the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States, with 4,125,179 injections performed, 10.5 percent of which, were performed on men.

Men and Botox: What’s the Appeal?

Botox has become increasingly popular for treating undesirable forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other facial imperfections in men. Men opt for Botox treatment in order to reduce these signs of aging and maintain their youthful appearances. Furthermore, Botox specialists ensure that patients will look and feel natural and will retain normal movement in the treatment areas of the face.

Getting rid of facial imperfections and enhancing natural features can do wonders for a man’s image. Having a more defined eyebrow structure or a smooth, wrinkle-free face can feel great and give men the boost of confidence they’re looking for. At one time, it might have been considered embarrassing for men to receive cosmetic surgery, but that opinion has since changed, as both male and female patients have consistently demonstrated amazing results.

Crows feet, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin are all results of aging. Approximately one million women in the United States who are over thirty decide to receive wrinkle treatments as their skin ages.

Here are some of biggest aging complaints we hear:

Facial Wrinkles- 84 percent of women will notice wrinkles around their eyes and face before any other wrinkles. One of the best treatments for facial wrinkles is laser technology. Lasers can erase wrinkles, brown spots, unwanted hair, fade lines, and smooth rough skin. More specifically, lasers can improve the appearance of facial wrinkles by heating up collagen and creating a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to thicken.

Botox is another treatment that is available for facial wrinkles and the results last for up to four months. It’s one of the most popular ways to treat facial wrinkles, by both men and women.

Sun-Damaged Skin– When the skin has been exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time sun spots can develop. As we age, sun spots become more noticeable. The best treatment option for sun spots is IPL Laser technology.

With summer just around the corner, more and more women want to look beautiful and wrinkle free in their bikinis. Besides the at-home remedies for skin tightening like egg masks or exfoliating gels, there are non-invasive treatment options women can indulge in.

One of the most popular skin tightening methods available is laser treatment.

What exactly is laser skin tightening treatment?

Laser treatment is a non-invasive, skin tightening procedure that will heat up collagen, creating a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to thicken. When the collagen thickens, the skin will become tighter.

How to prepare for the treatment?

Sunbathing should be avoided for a period of time prior to the treatment. Also, all makeup needs to be removed before laser treatment.

What needs to be done after the treatment?

After the treatment we recommend that patients use SPF 30 sunscreen to protect the skin. Along with this it is always beneficial to live a healthy lifestyle with daily exercises and proper nutrition.

Are there any side effects?

There may be redness and swelling after the treatment. Any swelling should subside after only a few hours.

If you are trying to get perfect, wrinkle free skin this summer, laser skin tightening treatment is proven to be effective and safe, and requires no downtime. To learn more about laser skin tightening in Los Angeles please visit us at www.yourlaserskincare.com/skin-tightening/

Keeping your skin fresh and beautiful during hot summer months can be quite a challenge. Men and women often come into the Your Laser Skin Care offices asking for advice on how to keep their skin healthy over summer.

Here are skin care tips for this summer:

Blocking the Sun:
Wrinkles, coarse skin, sun spots. These are just a few of the ways skin can become damaged if it is not protected from hazardous sun exposure. UV rays can cause photo-aging, inflammation and many other skin problems. Skin can easily be protected by the use of sunscreen and it should be applied thirty minutes before going outside. If it’s too late and the sun has already done the damage, apply cooling balms.

Getting rid of Blemishes:
The summer months are known for causing pimples because people can develop extra oils on their face from the heat. The best way to ensure more blemishes than normal don’t come up is by using oil free makeup and glycolic acid cleansers.

Healthy Diet:
One of the best ways to make sure your skin is healthy is by having a healthy diet routine. A lot of water, fruits and green vegetables will do the skin good. If a healthy diet routine is followed, you will be getting all the minerals, fibers, antioxidants, and vitamins you need, all of which will do wonders for your skin.

Botox is a popular, FDA approved treatment most commonly used to fade away wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox works by injecting a purified protein into the wrinkle, which will then paralyze the muscle causing it to stop contracting for about four months. It is minimally invasive, has no downtime and is a relatively fast treatment method.

What many people do not know, is that Botox can treat more than just wrinkles. Botox has also been shown to treat migraines, asthma and even depression.

Botox for Depression
Feeling sad? Having difficulty concentrating? Recent studies have shown that Botox can help with these depression symptoms. Patients with major depression were given Botox injections into the muscles of their foreheads. After only six weeks of treatment, patients’ signs of depression improved significantly.

Botox for Migraines
Sensitivity to light, throbbing sensations, severe pain and even sometimes nausea are common symptoms of chronic migraines. Patients who suffer from chronic migraines know that they can affect your quality of life. Patients normally need to be in a quiet, dark room until the migraine goes away. Studies have shown that migraines can be treated with a simple Botox injection and it is now FDA approved for treatment of chronic migraines.

Botox for Asthma
Almost 19 million people in the US carry a diagnosis of asthma. Recent study was conducted on a group of asthma patients and it showed that patients had a much easier time breathing when their vocal chords were treated with a Botox injection.

These studies have confirmed that Botox is more than just a cosmetic treatment for wrinkles; it can help improve, or even eliminate symptoms of diseases that are affecting millions of people.

Spider veins and varicose veins affect more than fifty percent of adults, but are more commonly found in women.

Spider veins are bluish, red in color and often look like cords. They can be caused by blood that is collecting because of a break in the vein. Varicose veins are large and raised, due to swollen blood vessels. Both types of veins are sometimes described as looking like tree branches.

There can be many factors that increase the chances of developing spider or varicose veins.
● Age- Veins have a higher chance of becoming damaged with age.
● Family History and Genetic Predisposition– If family members have varicose veins, it is more likely that varicose veins will occur.
● Pregnancy- One of the most common reasons people develop varicose veins is because of pregnancy. This happens because there is much more blood in the body and hormonal changes can cause varicose veins to form as well.
● Weight- Being overweight or sedentary lifestyle can cause varicose veins formation.

There are various preventative measures that can be taken to decrease the chances of developing spider or varicose veins. Some of the most effective measures are sitting with the legs uncrossed or avoiding sitting for prolong periods of time. Shoes without heels and compression stockings are one of the few other ways to prevent varicose veins from forming.

In order to remove spider and varicose veins, there are several treatments available. One of the treatment methods is laser vein therapy. The FDA approved YAG laser is one of the most acknowledged ways of treating unwanted varicose veins. The laser focuses a beam of high-intensity light, penetrating the skin. By doing this, a controlled amount of heat is directed to the blood vessels.

Laser vein therapy with the YAG laser is one of the most sought after treatments on the market because of its advanced cooling system. This significantly decreases the discomfort during the procedure.
Laser vein therapy only requires a few short visits and the side effects are minimal.
