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.

Backlash Against The Botox Backlash!


Posted on 15/02/2011 at 09:20:08 | by Dr. Tracy Mountford

Some of you may have read in the national press recently about the ‘Botox® Backlash’ from ’A’ list celebrities that supposedly have given up Botox® for the natural look?

We suspect that in most cases this is probably not the case. In reality celebrities are opting for the more subtle treatments, which is good news.

It's a shame that Botox® has been associated with overdone immovable foreheads and mouths that cannot smile properly. In reality correctly administered Botox® (just a little but not too much) still allows movement that is natural but smooths harsh lines and achieves an airbrushed effect.

These days its more about natural enhancement; the key is not to look done, its more about the ‘make under’ rather than the ‘make over’. You can have movement and still look wrinkle free. Our patients just look softer and more rejuvenated, just a better fresher version of their natural selves!
