EuroThread Lift- Non Surgical Facelift

0

The EuroThread lift is a non-surgical facelift procedure which tightens, smooths and contours the face and neck through the strategic placement of dissolvable EuroThreads which are inserted beneath the skin.

Youthful-looking firmness and suppleness is restored to areas where volume loss and sagging has occurred, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin in the targeted treatment areas. The procedure can be performed in-office, giving you immediate results that improve with time, and it requires minimal downtime.

How Does The EuroThread Lift Procedure Work?

Eurothreads are dissolvable threads that are placed under the skin to achieve lifting of the cheeks, the jowls and the neck
bands. These threads are comprised of polydioxanone (PDO), the same material that has being used for surgical procedures for 30 years. The threads are inserted, and when the needle is withdrawn, the thread remains under the skin.

Eurothreads stimulate the formation of collagen, which gives the skin elasticity and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This improves the skin’s quality and texture over time, while also lifting and adding volume to areas that have laxity. The suture material gradually breaks down over a period of 6-8 months; however, the results typically continue to last for up to a year and a half.

What Is The Recovery Like?

This varies among individuals, but the EuroThread Lift generally requires little to no downtime.  Swelling, soreness,  and minor bruising is common following the procedure.

What Are Areas Can Be Treated?

EuroThreads have demonstrated benefits in all areas of the face and neck. The most dramatic improvement typically is achieved in the lower third of the face and neck by lifting sagging cheeks and jowls to create smoother, more youthful looking contours. EuroThreads can be used to improve the following areas:
Fine lines and Wrinkles
-Saggy cheeks
-Loose or saggy neck area
-Peri-Oral Lines (Smoker lines)
-A saggy Jawline and jowls
-Neck lines, sometimes called “necklace lines”
-Vermillion Border or Lip
-Décolletage

The Importance Of Taking Care Of Your Decolletage Area And At-Home Devices To Do It

The importance of facial protection against sun rays is mostly talked about and because of that, we always seek the latest sunscreen and cosmetic treatments to avoid aging in the area. But the décolletage skin is as important as the face, as it is frequently exposed to possible damages. Unfortunately, it does not receive the attention it needs.

Frequent and unprotected exposure can lead to a more intense aging process, with premature wrinkling, sunspots, collagen breakdown, visible blood vessels and even commonly found skin cancer.

At the dermatologist office, you might get recommended treatments like microneedling, laser therapy or chemical peels but there is also an at-home alternative to improve the damages that have already been done. 

A specifically designed device to fit the neck and chest area (for example, the décoLITE, from the face lite company) uses LED red and near infra-red light therapy to improve the aging signs, leaving the skin feeling softer and with less spots and better texture.

It will also promote pain relief, as will increase blood flow, and cause temporary relaxation of muscles and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and tissue oxygenation. This portable and flexible device uses two proven wavelengths of light of 633nm (red light) and 830nm (near infra-red light) which have been studied to promote collagen production and by that, rebuild the damage caused by the aging process. For protecting the skin against new damages, the daily use of an adequate product is recommended. It will make a great pair to be used in the treatment with LED devices.

What to Know About Sciton Halo Laser Treatment

Do you have sun-damaged skin and want to find a solution to restore your skin’s natural glow? Well, the Sciton Halo™ Laser could be the treatment for you. Sciton Halo Laser has been specially created to combat the signs of sun damage, including skin discoloration and fine lines, potentially giving you back that healthy glow.

How the Sciton Halo™ Laser Works

The Sciton Halo™ Laser is the world’s first Hybrid Fractional Laser. It works by combining two different laser wavelengths in one treatment. The first laser is a fractional ablative laser for a synergistic effect designed to hit the epidermis, the top part of the skin. It works by reducing pigment and restoring your glow. The second laser wavelength works deeper in the skin and targets the dermis, the bottom layer of the skin. It does this to remove years of the sun damage that has built up.

Once the laser has done its magic, the body’s natural process can cause pigment from the bottom layer to rise to the top and be removed. This means that the bottom layers will rejuvenate, and the texture and visible signs of aging should be improved. The Sciton Halo™ Laser not only targets visible signs of sun damage; it also addresses the non-visible signs of sun damage.

The laser has an integrated cooling system, which makes the treatment more comfortable than many other laser treatments. There is a constant temperature monitoring device on the skin, and this allows for a more accurate treatment.

It is the dual-wavelength technology that helps to ensure great results and minimal downtime. Unlike previous lasers, because the Sciton Halo™ Laser provides a deeper treatment, it may remove more damage caused by sun exposure. However, more than one treatment may be necessary for optimal results.

What Can Be Treated?

There are many ways this dual-laser technology could help benefit your skin. These treatments may be used to address:

  • Skin discoloration
  • Sun damage
  • Skin tone and texture
  • Large pores
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars

Microblading Treatment: Get Your Instagram Perfect Brows Today

0

Microblading Treatment is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that fills in thin eyebrow areas to make them look fuller. Unlike a traditional tattoo, which is permanent, the coloring from microblading may last for up to 3 years. This is because microblading uses different tools and a smaller amount of pigment.

What is microblading?

An esthetician uses a microblade tool to apply color pigments that look like real hairs. The color effect will fade over time, so touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the desired look.

Microblading is said to offer natural looking and defined eyebrows, but the process typically takes some time to perfect.

The initial procedure may take up to a couple of hours, and the eyebrows will appear darker immediately after the initial treatment.

It is possible that the color will fade after a few weeks and a touch-up may be needed.

What to be aware of

All cosmetic procedures, including microblading and permanent makeup tattooing, have possible risks associated with them.

It is also important to remember that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do not regulate the color additive substances of the pigments used in these cosmetic practices.

Therefore, it is essential to be aware of the risks of microblading before undergoing a procedure.

Do the research

One of the most important things to think about when considering microblading is the salon that will be carrying out the procedure. The person doing the microblading should be a licensed esthetician who has undergone the appropriate training.

Because microblading regulations can vary from state to state, anyone who is considering having the procedure needs to take precautions.

In general, highly skilled and licensed estheticians at high-quality salons and spas offer microblading, but a person considering microblading should check out each esthetician’s credentials before going ahead with the procedure.

The Benefits and Risks of Dry Brushing

0

Dry brushing is a type of Ayurvedic medicine that has been around for centuries. It’s believed to have many health benefits. Some of the benefits may include:

Dry brushing works by exfoliating the skin. Practitioners of dry brushing rub a brush with coarse, natural-fiber bristles over their bodies in a particular pattern.

The idea is that the coarse fibers will help to remove dead skin and improve the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins through the pores.

What are the benefits of dry brushing?

There is little scientific evidence to support the benefits of dry brushing. There is anecdotal evidence, however. The possible benefits include the following:

Lymphatic system and the removal of toxins

The lymphatic system helps your body fight off infections. Fluids flow through the system and are filtered through the lymph nodes. If you’re sick or exposed to a lot of toxins, the system may become backed up and clogged. That is why your lymph nodes often become swollen when you have a cold.

Dry brushing is thought to help the body release toxins through sweat. The coarse bristles on the brush stimulate the pores and open them up. This makes it easier for the body to sweat, which in turns reduces the amount of toxins flowing through the lymphatic system.

There is little research to support this claim.

Exfoliation

The coarse bristles can brush away dry, dead cells from the skin. This can leave your skin more smooth and soft.

Relaxation

Similar to a massage, dry brushing may make you feel relaxed. To make the most of this benefit, practice dry brushing in a dark, quiet space.

How Does Ultrasonic Cavitation Work?

Ultrasonic cavitation, or ultrasound cavitation, is a cosmetic procedure that’s used to break apart fat deposits in your body. The treatment claims to work as an effective, less invasive alternative to liposuction.

Safety

There are very few risks associated with this procedure, but that doesn’t mean that there are no side effects.

Bruising and pain are common short-term side effects, and some people have loose skin or dimples and waves in their skin after healing from this treatment.

Convenience

Ultrasonic cavitation is advertised as being extremely convenient because recovery is minimal and side effects are rare.

The most time-consuming part of the process might be finding and consulting with a licensed, trained provider who has experience doing the treatment.

What is ultrasonic cavitation treatment?

Ultrasonic cavitation, also called ultrasonic lipolysis, is a body contouring treatment that is used to remove fat deposits under your skin. It can also be referred to by brand names, such as Liponix or Ultrashape.

This procedure is a safer alternative to surgical options, like liposuction. The treatment uses ultrasonic radio waves to break apart fat cells, which are then absorbed into your body by your lymphatic system.

Ultrasonic cavitation is different than other similar treatments, like ultrasound liposuction, because it doesn’t require any incisions. This means recovery is easier. It also means that results might be less noticeable.

The ideal candidate for ultrasonic cavitation:

  • is in good overall health
  • doesn’t smoke
  • has realistic expectations
  • is already within 15 pounds of their goal weight

Ultrasonic cavitation is meant to target small areas of fat and help contour your body. It isn’t a treatment for people who are trying to lose a lot of weight.

The verdict is still out on how well ultrasound cavitation works. There’s promising evidence to suggest that this is an effective body contouring treatment.

If you’re considering this treatment for yourself, keep reading to find out everything you need to know about the costs, side effects, procedure, recovery time, and more.

The integration of beauty devices and apps – taking your skincare routine to a next level

The Foreo Company has a few options of integrated devices. The LUNA 3, and LUNA mini 3 uses the app to adjust the pulsation levels to obtain your preferred result. The app will propose some different cleansing treatments and tutorials on how to perform adequate massages with your device.

On a more technological side, the Foreo UFO and UFO mini have specialized masks that when previously scanned on the app, can start a defined program with changes in the spanning heat, cold, pulsations and light, according to the needs of the chosen treatment.

We can also mention the Luna fofo, which is both a skin analyzer and brush. It has dual sensors on the brush back and it will measure the skin’s hydration levels across four specific facial zones and deliver the results to the app. With that, customized cleansing programs will sync to the brush, providing a unique skincare routine.

The Korean company Lillycover has an innovative device, the Muilli that incorporates sensors and a personalized skincare routine. It has a 60 X magnification camera and very accurate sensors installed in the device, which measures the real time conditions of the skin redness, pores, wrinkles, oil and moisture balance. These results are sent to the app and customized skincare lines are recommended according to the results of skin diagnosis. The app considers environmental conditions, like humidity and UV index, and suggests the right products for the inside and outside of the skin. The Muilli also has a plasma massager, which may increase cosmetics absorption, sterilize, and improve skin aging signs.
