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.

How to Prevent Ageing? A Question.


Written by Rosina

Oh to be 40-whatever again! With all the advances in our knowledge of how aging takes place, the Human Genome Project, and the switching mechanisms for longevity/aging genes, those in their 40s and 50s are positioned to live considerably longer, in great health, and looking a whole lot younger, provided they continue to take good care of themselves now. Those in their 60s and older too, if they are particularly attentive.

So, if I were 40 again, here's what I'd do:

1. Around this age, hormone levels begin to decline rapidly. Not just the sex hormones, but all hormones, including HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Regular deep sleep and daily exercise will help with HGH—with the use of secretagogues such as Ageless Ultramax Gold perhaps—but the sex hormones will continue to wane. Progesterone is the first to go, often leading to estrogen dominance and weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. If you have a doctor familiar with the use of bioidentical hormones, you can get her/him to check your levels and prescribe if necessary. Failing this, there are many online labs that will test for you.

2. Regarding the skin, what you do now can either maintain the integrity of collagen and elastin, or destroy it. Of course, you wear a sunscreen every day. How about this? I apply mine the moment I wake up, then go down to read the paper and make breakfast. After this, I have a shower and reapply it.
