Your skin renews itself faster while you sleep (07/09/2010)
(...) What's melatonin? Melatonin is an important hormone that's secreted in your brain by your pineal gland when it gets dark. So it's sometimes called the hormone of darkness. Melatonin regulates your 24-hour body clock and sleep-wake cycle. (...)

Relaxation is very important for the well being of your skin (07/09/2010)
(...) According to New York-based dermatologist and psychiatrist Dr Amy Wechsler, ‘To put it simply, the level of certain hormones - namely cortisol - increases in the brain when we're stressed. This hormone travels to the skin and creates inflammation around hair follicles and pores leading to acne.' People with acne have higher levels of cortisol. (...)

9 beauty myths you want to know (07/09/2010)
(...) You're far more likely to overeat at the next meal because you're so hungry. And when you miss out on meals, your body believes you're going into starvation mode, and your metabolism slows down. Skipping breakfast is a bad idea too, because eating in the morning jump-starts your metabolism. (...)

Getting a tan while having acne is not a good choice (07/09/2010)
(...) We absolutely need sunshine to stay healthy, to make vitamin D (which builds strong bones and boosts our immune system), to get a good night's sleep and to feel good. But too much sun is the worst destroyer and ager of skin that you're likely to encounter. In your teenage years, you probably don't give much thought to wrinkles: they happen to older people. (...)

Love yourself and your body and you will become more beautiful (07/09/2010)
(...) If you want to change something about yourself, do it for yourself, and not for anyone else. Get strong: Girls who focus on their physical strength rather than on their appearance are, on the whole, happier and healthier. Also, exercise keeps your body healthy, beats stress, balances moods and generally makes you feel better about yourself. (...)

What you eat is very important for your general well being (07/07/2010)
(...) Sadly, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, lollies, fries and pies just don't give your body everything it needs for its rapid growth and changes. Instead of junk, your body needs more good-for-you nutrients. And it definitely needs more kilojoules (a kilojoule is a unit of measure of energy, in the same way that kilometres measure distance) from the right foods. (...)

Eating the right carbs makes your skin look great (07/07/2010)
(...) If your car ran out of petrol, it would splutter, cough and come to a stop. If you ran out of blood sugar, you would soon go into a coma and die - it's that important. To stay alive every organ and cell in your body depends on a steady supply of blood sugar for energy. (...)

What vitamins to consume for the well being of your skin (07/07/2010)
(...) Then they wait around in storage until your body needs them - some for a few days, some for up to six months. Water-soluble vitamins, like C and the B vitamins, don't get stored for very long. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream and then whatever isn't used gets filtered out by your kidneys and comes out when you go to the bathroom. (...)

What are phytos and where to get them (07/07/2010)
(...) Here's why: phytos naturally safeguard plants against disease, insects and other dangers in the environment. So they're actually a plant protection system - and when you eat them, they protect you too. Phytos are vital for great skin and good health because many of them act as powerful antioxidants, which help fend off damage and fight off the bad guys known as free radicals. (...)

Keep your GI low and enjoy a beautiful skin (07/07/2010)
(...) Professor Neil Mann from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology conducted a study with Australian teens, and concluded: 'Eating rapidly digested carbohydrate foods [high GI] which are mainly processed snack foods, biscuits, cakes, pastries and bread along with rice, potatoes and sugary drinks causes a rapid increase in blood-sugar levels and insulin production in the body. This causes blocked skin pores as well as an overproduction of oil in the skin pores. The trapped oil then becomes infected and acne results'. (...)

Avoid soft drinks and consume the right fruits for a beautiful skin (07/07/2010)
(...) Fruit juice If you think a glass of orange juice first thing in the morning is super healthy, think again! In the process of juicing the fibre is removed, leaving lots of sugar. If your stomach is empty, your body absorbs all this sugar super fast, and when it hits your bloodstream it triggers a huge insulin spike. So go for whole fruit instead. (...)

Fast food products are very harmflul for your skin (07/07/2010)
(...) So if you eat 8400 kilojoules (2000 calories), then about 2520 of these kilojoules (600 calories), which is equal to about 70 grams, should come from good fats. Pass on the processed There's so little nutrition in most packaged and processed foods that you may as well be eating the cardboard box. Packaged foods also contain all sorts of chemical preservatives, flavours and colors as well as bad fats and stacks of sugar, which do nothing to contribute to good health and great skin. (...)

Fruits and vegetables with bright colors are the best for skin care (07/07/2010)
(...) Soak dried fruit, such as prunes, apricots and peaches, in water overnight, sprinkle with flaked almonds or pecans, and serve with natural yoghurt. Lunch and dinner: try a gazpacho soup made with tomatoes, green and red capsicums (peppers), red onion, cucumber and lemon juice. Eat a mega-green salad of baby spinach leaves, avocado, broccoli florets, artichoke hearts and green capsicum (pepper). (...)

The best fats for the skin on your face (07/07/2010)
(...) It's rich in heaps of different vitamins and fabulous phytos, and is a big reason why people living in the Mediterranean region (such as Spain, Greece and Italy) are super healthy and live for so long. Even though you're years away from your first wrinkle, research has found that people who eat lots of olive oil get fewer wrinkles. What on earth is 'extra virgin'? That means the oil comes from the olives' first pressing, so it contains more of these fabulous phytos. (...)

Skin is influenced by hormones especially in teens (07/05/2010)
(...) What appears to be just a thin covering is actually the largest and heaviest organ in your body. It's washable, stretchable, tough and waterproof. It's amazing to think that even if you soak in the tub for hours on end, your skin doesn't let any water in. (...)

What is the hypodermis and the most common skin colors (07/05/2010)
(...) Sensitive skin: Truly sensitive skin is fairly uncommon. People with this skin type are often allergy prone and have sensitivities or allergic reactions to lots of different things. They also have particularly fair, thin skin and usually have blonde or red hair. (...)

Facial injections with botox or dysport against wrinkles (06/16/2010)
(...) The doses recommended are given in units of volume. The finest mark on a one ml syringe is 0.01: we often recommend using 0. (...)

Complications of treatment with botox in facial rejuventation (06/15/2010)
(...) Three types of botulinum toxin are currently available commercially: Botox and Dysport (both botulinum toxin Type A); and NeuroBloc (botulinum toxin Type B). Allergan in Westport, Ireland produces Botox. Dysport is produced by Ipsen Pharmaceuticals,UK, and NeuroBloc is produced by Elan, Ireland. (...)

What to choose between botox and dysport (06/15/2010)
(...) It is also possible that even shorter actions will be available with further modifications of the dose. It is worth noting that inadequate storage of Botox or Dysport (e.g. (...)

Best dosage for botox when performing cosmetic surgery (06/15/2010)
(...) The difference in concentration is because a vial of Dysport is stronger than a vial of Botox (although the price per vial is equal), and so requires greater dilution for effect. Allergan (Botox) and Ipsen (Dysport) have developed different individual ‘mouse units’ of concentration.These are not interchangeable and refer to different quantities. (...)

Facial rejuvenation through lipotransfer in the asian patient (01/29/2010)
(...) Liposuction has proven its efficacy as a useful tool for body recontouring and has assumed a prominent role in the plastic surgeon’s armamentarium. In addition, cervical liposuction has also become integral to facial rejuvenation with or without a concomitant cervico-facial rhytidectomy. Autologous fat transplantation has met with greater circumspection in professional circles. (...)

What is facial liposuction and how is it performed (01/29/2010)
(...) The cannula is then connected to the wall suction device in order to begin liposuctioning. The non-dominant hand should tent the skin upwards and guide the passage of the liposuctioning cannula, as the dominant hand controls movement and direction of the cannula. The cannula should be passed in a radial fashion from the deep subcutaneous plane eventually to the more superficial plane, all the time rotating the cannula. (...)

Intersting facts about the microcannulas used in cosmetic surgery (01/29/2010)
(...) This enables the use of microcannulas, which are potentially more traumatic to vascular structures than larger cannulas. While large macrocannulas generally produce more overall trauma to the subcutaneous tissue and fibrous septa compared with microcannulas, the smaller cannulas have the potential to produce more vascular trauma and hemorrhage. This is because for any given volume of fat removed, the surface area of the wound is larger with microcannulas. (...)

How to choose the right microcannulas for lipoaspiration (01/29/2010)
(...) Liposuction will not occur with a stationary cannula and minimal fat is aspirated without a hand grasping, pinching, compressing, or otherwise immobilizing tissue. The fat compartment should not move back and forth with the cannula but must remain stationary for efficient liposuction to occur. A fully tumesced compartment with increased tissue tension has less tendency to move as the cannula traverses the area. (...)

Liposculpture of the female waist and buttocks (01/29/2010)
(...) The patient is treated lying on her side but rotated slightly anteriorly. In this position, the fat pockets can be lifted with the non-dominant hand and adequately aspirated. To effectively provide the patient with a harmonious female contour, the waist is also often simultaneously treated. (...)

From facial liposuction to body liposculpture (01/29/2010)
(...) The neck is best approached through a crisscrossing pattern of microcannula liposuction. This is accomplished by ports in the submental region and infra-auricular sites bilaterally providing adequate interdigitation of lipoaspiration. Most of the fat is located at a superficial level immediately under the skin. (...)

Superficial and deep sculpturing liposuction and when these are performed (01/29/2010)
(...) As I start this discussion it is extremely important that one understand the distinction between sculpturing in the superficial layer and damaging or injuring the dermis. Fournier, one of the fathers of liposuction and mentor of many liposuction surgeons practicing today, states, “What you take is not as important as what you leave.” Gasparotti’s technique involves deep removal of fat and subdermal removal of fat. (...)

Liposculpturing steps for the contouring of the abdomen (01/29/2010)
(...) The level at which to work, according to Luiz Toledo of Brazil, depends on the region, the problem and the skin tone. Abdomen The abdomen is the area of the body most commonly treated by liposuction. Both sexes have a thinner more athletic torso as one of their primary goals. (...)

Liposuction techniques for the hips and buttocks (01/29/2010)
(...) An easy way to evaluate that depression is to have the patient laterally abduct the leg in the standing upright position. As a part of my marking technique I mark this depression. This depression is the distal extent of the high hip and the proximal extent of the lateral thigh. (...)

Liposuction and liposculpture nearly create a new body (01/29/2010)
(...) For purpose of practicality this can be considered as a single subcutaneous layer of fat with no area of deep fat. This fat is fibrous, making penetration difficult in this area. For that reason the mechanically assisted cannula works well. (...)

Superficial liposculpture for aged skin (01/29/2010)
(...) For the first time in liposuction, the skin is an active structural and dynamic element, and not only a passive element of the operation. Through contraction, the skin becomes firmer, the orange skin appearance (“cellulite”) is improved, and the skin become smoother because, working in the superficial compartment of fat, most of the fibrous attachments can be released from the subcutaneous fat to the dermis. This also allows the skin to move freely and relocate. (...)

Liposculpture of the calf and the ankles (01/28/2010)
(...) In 1985, Temourian proposed (unpublished data) a liposuction technique under tourniquet but he infiltrated the tissues. In 1993, the authors devised the idea of using a pneumatic tourniquet in a case of adipose excess localized in the ankles, as practiced by orthopedic surgeons for the cure of hallux valgus. The postoperative course and results were surprisingly excellent. (...)

Liposuction surgery tactics for the legs (01/28/2010)
(...) A posteroexternal incision of the ankle is used to hollow out the external retro-malleolar groove and the posteroexternal space is sculptured. Subsequently, with the cosmetic surgeon standing at the right of the table at knee level, the internal side of the knee towards the lower end is incised, which permits the sculpture of the whole internal face of the leg. Moving to the left of the table, an incision and a fan-shaped extraction are performed in the direction of the anterior tuberosity of the tibia and the subfibular area and continuing without stopping, we return backwards to the right and upwards to the left supero-internal space. (...)

Liposuction of various areas of the body and cosmetic surgery (01/28/2010)
(...) Liposuction of the Back The back or dorsum is a very large area but excellent results can be observed after liposculpture of this area. It is usually done as a single operation and not combined. In women, the bra makes the fat deposit look even worse. (...)

Correction of the buttocks and the abdomen through liposuction (01/28/2010)
(...) The incision is carried out initially along the superior border of the demarcated area and the flap is lifted off the aponeurosis and undermined, including the lateral depression that is sometimes present. The inferior flap is then advanced upward in three vectors: superiorly, medially, and laterally. The excess tissue is excised in segments, equally distributed, and adapted to its new bed. (...)

Dermolipectomy surgery and postoperative care (01/28/2010)
(...) The use of a lighted retractor or an endoscope allows visualization of the diastasis and facilitates the fascial placation. This can usually be performed while preserving the umbilical attachment to the fascia. Correction of the diastasis is achieved by approximating the fascia at the medial border of the rectus muscles; however, additional tightening can be performed. (...)

Facial rejuvenation a good alternative for plastic surgery (01/22/2010)
(...) Purchased primarily by cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists wanting to learn the process or improve their skills, this single-procedure textbook was well received and a medical best seller. I was quite proud when prominent dermatologic surgeon, James Fulton, MD, PhD, one of the co-formulators of Retin-A®, publicly pronounced the textbook "The Bible of Chemical Skin Peeling." In preparation, I reviewed nearly every book and medical journal article written on the subject. (...)

Forehead or Brow Lift in the cosmetic surgery rutine (01/22/2010)
(...) This result should be avoided, since it cannot easily be corrected. One route to the forehead and brow can be via a long horizontal incision at the hairline or paralleling it further back, depending on forehead height and scalp hair density. The second route is by "tunneling" under the scalp, usually through three short, hidden incisions. (...)

Successful nasal cosmetic surgery is brain surgery (01/22/2010)
(...) Some people didn't even notice it when they first saw me, and after I reminded them, they couldn't believe how NATURAL and beautiful it looked which as we all know is exactly what I wanted. Not only do I feel good but I feel freer. My breathing is immaculate and I just feel better. (...)

Breast cosmetic surgery and its results on the appearance of the breast (01/21/2010)
(...) In some cases, a more normal appearance simply means bringing balance to a woman’s figure. In others it requires complete reconstruction of a breast and surgery to alter the appearance of the opposite breast to match the size and position of the breast that is reconstructed. Yet while cosmetic surgery of the breast may have one common goal for all women, it remains a highly individualized procedure based on: • A woman’s preferences and perceptions for her body • A woman’s physical anatomy and her figure • A woman’s overall health and prognosis • The recommendations of a qualified board-certified cosmetic surgeon As much as these factors influence what cosmetic surgery of the breast can achieve for a woman, they equally are limitations to what, in some cases, cosmetic surgery of the breast may not be able to achieve.
