New Advancements in Laser Hair Removal Technology
(ContentDesk) November 17, 2005 -- No longer limited to patients with fair skin and dark hair, the newest technology in laser hair removal now provides superior results and maximum safety for all skin colors and all hair colors.
With the increasing interest in a long lasting treatment for hair removal without the pain of electrolysis, laser technology is adapting to meet the needs of a widely diverse population.
With the new advancements, permanent results are now a possibility for people who previously did not meet the criteria for successful laser hair removal.Nearly 50 percent of the world's population are people of color.
Early lasers used for hair removal were slow, often painful, and limited to treating fair-skinned people with very dark hair. Aesthetic laser hair removal is no longer limited to those with the contrast of light skin and dark hair.
The recent advancements in laser technology have greatly reduced discomfort and have expanded into hair reduction on patients with either tanned skin or pigmented skin.The basic principle of laser hair removal is to target the hair follicle and disable it with the energy from the laser.
The laser works by turning light into heat in the melanin.
With the early lasers it was difficult to selectively target the melanin in the hair from the melanin in the skin if there wasnt enough color in the hair and contrast with the surrounding skin.???The newer laser technology utilizes lasers with longer wavelengths.
The longer wavelengths absorb less melanin in the skin, which makes treatment safer for darker skin types.
When the lasers are combined with variable pulse durations and aggressive skin cooling, it is possible to safely and more comfortably treat a wider range of skin colors and hair colors than was possible with the older equipment.
When searching for a laser hair removal provider, it is important to consider the equipment they use as it can impact the results you will achieve.
The newest technology provides safer and more comfortable treatment as well as treating a wider range of hair and skin color and types.
The newer Diode, Alexandrite and YAG lasers are approved to treat all skin types.
The new ELOS (electro-optical synergy) technology is specially designed to treat all skin types (e.g. Indian, Asian, African-American), including tanned skin, and remove all colors of unwanted hair, including white, gray, and red.
Similar to earlier laser hair removal systems, hair is destroyed when in the active growth cycle.
As hair grows in cycles and not all hairs are in the same cycle at the same time, multiple treatments are needed to achieve optimum results.
The total number of treatments needed varies from patient to patient based on their unique skin color, hair color, hair type, and treatment area.
Most treatment areas show minimal regrowth after three to five sessions.When selecting a provider for laser hair removal, it is important to remember that this is a medical procedure, and your decision should be given the same care you would give to selecting any other medical specialist.
The laser hair removal procedure should be performed by a licensed medical professional in a professional setting with proper medical treatment available if needed.AboutLaserHairRemoval.info is a leading online resource for hair removal education.
The site offers a broad range of information on various methods of hair removal, types of lasers, and traditional methods of hair reduction, such as waxing and electrolysis. The site also features a directory of laser hair removal providers. For more information: www.aboutlaserhairremoval.info.
Permanent Cosmetic Convention in Atlantic City Focuses on Technician Education and Safe Protocols
Permanent Cosmetics is a largely unregulated field, with little or no formal standards or licensing. Consumer questions abound on the safety and quality of treatments and how to gauge a technician's qualifications. As more and more woman discover permanent cosmetics, the most common question is, "Are You licensed?"
Often they are told, "Yes" or "I am certified." Truth be told, almost no one is, because few states offer or require
licensing or education before performing permanent cosmetic application.
Many individuals in the field are concerned about setting standards, such as Roxanne Zarafonetis, CNMT, PA who is a Johns Hopkins Hospital trained Nuclear Medicine Technologist who entered the field of permanent cosmetics 15 years ago before todays' unregulated
"certification" schools, and allergic pigments were on the scene.In an effort to help set allied health compatible standards, Ms. Zarafonetis has acted as an advisor to the Board of Cosmetology...

V-Beauty Rolls Out Across the Country
London, UK (ContentDesk) March 30, 2006 -- Since its recent launch to the Beauty Industry, V-Beauty, the latest system for treating facial thread veins and rosacea, is already being offered from salons across the British Isles, from Norwich across to Galway and from Falmouth to Glasgow.V-Beauty stems from its sister device, Veinwave, utilising the same technology and technique, but its use is limited to the face only. The system generates a high frequency heat energy which passes, via an ultra fine hair-like insulated needle, to the vessel causing, in many cases, its instantaneous disappearance. The "wow" factor is incredible. The vast majority of Veinwave practitioners are medically trained and are generally involved in treating complex vascular conditions, often found in ones legs for example. Lower limb vascular disease can be difficult to diagnose which is essential for accurate treatment.Over the past couple of years however, Sovereign Medical Health Ltd, its distributor, has been...

Corrosion Can Occur In Multiple Places In Water Heaters. Here's The Problem Spots

Electric Elements
Galvanic corrosion is most common in electrical water heaters and appear on the electrical elements. The elements are the component that heats the water. Elements have a copper sheath and a steel base and if those specific parts become wet, electrolysis and corrosion may occur. An electrical element may be corroded enough to fail to heat the water. If you replace it and then in less than a year, the element may corrode again, then it is due to a faulty anode.
Replacing the anode will prevent further element destruction. One way to prevent corrosion is to install galvanized unions with the plastic nipples on the top of the tank. Now you can thread galvanized pipe to the steel plumbing into the wall. Like galvanized plumbing, plastic plumbing will never have to deal with galvanic corrosion. PB and CPVC can adapt to most metal pipes.
