Laser hair removal is a medical procedure using laser light to eliminate unwanted hair. The laser beam works by beaming a laser light of a certain wavelength through the skin. The laser specifically goes after the dark pigment called melanin in the hair. When the laser beam hits the hair follicle, the heat destroys the hair follicle. It usually takes several rounds of laser treatment to produce longer hair-free periods.

Because the laser targets melanin, it works best on dark hair, particularly dark hair on someone who has fair skin. Laser hair removal doesn’t remove light red, light brown, blonde, or white hair. The procedure should be done by a licensed physician who is board certified in dermatology, or else by a licensed nurse or physician’s assistant who is supervised by the physician during the treatments.

SmartLipo was approved by the FDA on Oct 31, 2006 and its technology is years ahead of traditional liposuction. The new age lipolysis, also known as laser lipo, makes use of laser to remove fat. Local anesthesia is administered prior to the treatment for this minimally invasive procedure. The results thus obtained are better, faster and the least painful when compared to that of traditional liposuction.

One of the first and foremost advantages of SmartLipo” target=”_blank”>www.smartlipoplasticsurgeon.com/”>SmartLipo is that it doesn’t leave behind loose skin that gives an unsightly ‘deflated balloon’-like look to areas from where fat has been removed. The laser is capable of stimulating the production of collagen which tightens the skin in the surrounding areas. The patient, unlike before, remains awake during the procedure and can stand up periodically to help the plastic surgeon view his work. A single session would be sufficient to attain the desired results and a touchup is not usually needed. (more…)

As long ago as 2000 BC, surgeons in India were carrying out reconstructive techniques like skin grafts. It wasn’t until the late 18th century that western physicians traveled to India to learn about procedures like rhinoplasty. A surgeon named Joseph Constantine Carpue spend two decades in India learning plastic surgery methods. Carpue returned to the west and performed the first major plastic surgery in the western world in 1815.

The ancient Egyptians and Romans also carried out plastic surgery procedures. Romans were able to do such procedures as repairing ears that had been damaged from about the first century B.C. (more…)

Cynosure Inc. has harnessed the advantages of laser technology to bring about a minimally invasive procedure known as SmartLipo for attaining perfection in body contouring. The company which develops and manufactures aesthetic and medical treatment systems is credited for introducing the first laser lipolysis system which ruptures fat cells with the least amount of bleeding, bruising, trauma and post-operative downtime.

People with excess fat deposited in various parts of the body and those with loose skin have benefited from this groundbreaking technology. SmartLipo is appreciated by plastic surgeons who earlier found it arduous to treat areas such as the neck, jowl line, inner arms and inner thighs. The laser has the capability to penetrate stubborn fat deposits without much resistance from fibrous tissues and liquefy the fat for aspiration. (more…)

There are people who think that the boom in plastic surgery is unhealthy to the point of being unethical. What does it say about people who believe that in order to be attractive or worthwhile they must have certain physical characteristics? Why do so many perfectly beautiful Asian women feel like they must have eyelids with a crease? Why do so many perfectly “normal” American women believe the need slimmer thighs and larger breasts?

There are certainly risks associated with any surgical procedure, and the operations are quite expensive. But most plastic surgery patients know quite a bit about the procedures they elect to have due to the proliferation of television shows and internet sites on the subject. For anybody contemplating plastic surgery, it is important to know that in the U.S., in order to be a plastic surgeon, a physician has to: attend at least three years of progressive clinical training in general surgery after receiving a medical degree; go through an accredited two to three year program in plastic surgery; and pass a comprehensive written and oral exam in plastic surgery.

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, however, doctors sometimes learn these through workshops or even videotapes. There is also the matter of “board certification.” The problem is, there are any number of “boards” the doctor can claim certification with, but the one that really means something is the certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is the only certifying board for plastic surgery recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
