What's so good about personal beauty lasers?


What's so bad about surgery? Why shouldn't I inject poisons into my body? Who cares if it gives me cancer or makes me infertile as long as I look young? Must we suffer to be beautiful? Or will a cosmetic laser treatment fix everything safely and painlessly?

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

"Low Level Laser Therapy or Laser Phototherapy is a method where light from a laser is applied to tissue (or cells in culture) in order to influence cell or tissue functions with such low light intensity that heating is negligible. The effects achieved are hence not due to heating but to photochemical or photobiologic reactions like the effect of light in plants. The lasers used are normally referred to as therapeutic lasers." Swedish Laser Medical Society

Low Level Laser Therapy is widely used in hospitals and clinics around the world to treat and cure a number of conditions including pain relief, problematic skin conditions and to promote healing in wounds or injuries.

Low Level Laser Therapy is beneficial in repairing damaged cells and speeds up and enhances the response of the body’s immune system as well as aiding pain relief. That is why it is so effective when used for skin rejuvenation and healing acne and skin blemishes - it restores the skin to a healthy, more youthful condition.

Also, if you are suffering from hair loss, low level laser therapy can help to stimulate the hair follicles into action again, resulting in new hair growth and healthier hair. Amazing but true.

Spot of bother: Acne isn't just a problem for teens, more women are suffering... but help is at hand

Acne can be the bane of our teenage years — plaguing our puberty before settling down in our 20s.

Or, rather, that’s how it used to be. Today, spots are no longer just a problem for adolescents.

A recent study found that more than half of UK women over 30 struggle with blemishes.

Experts say our busy lives have sent levels of the stress hormone cortisol soaring, pushing oil production into overdrive.

‘Acne is caused by the sebaceous glands producing more oil,’ says consultant dermatologist Dr Susan Mayou. ‘Excess sebum is trapped by dead skin cells, which clog pores, so blocked bacteria then reacts with the grease, forming spots.’

And adult spots can be even more severe, consisting of red, painful deep cysts not just on the face but on the body, too.

These flare-ups can dent our confidence and make us depressed. But the good news is even severe adult acne can be cleared.
