A Quick Guide To Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has come a long way in the last ten years and is now one of the most requested cosmetic procedures. The days are long gone when the procedure was mainly recommended for individuals with fair skin and dark hair , as major advances in laser technology have opened the door to successful treatments for all skin types. Laser hair removal can be applied to just about any 'problem hair' area of the body and is equally appropriate for both men and women. So if you think you're a candidate for laser hair removal treatment, let's take a look at some of the common questions asked about the procedure before you decide to put your body on the line.

What Is A Laser?
A laser is nothing more than an intense beam of light energy. In laser hair removal, the laser beam is delivered to the skin via a handheld 'pen-like' device by your dermatologic surgeon. The method is quite ingenious as the laser is designed to focus on the dark pigment in the hair follicle and destroy it without damaging the surrounding (lighter) skin tissue.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
At the time of writing, 100% permanent hair removal remains an elusive goal. However, clinical results indicate you can expect the successful removal of unwanted hair for a period of up to ten years. Some individuals will see long term results while others may need some maintenance treatments over time.

How Much Does It Cost? The cost for laser hair removal treatments varies depending on the area to be treated. It is common to find 'per session' prices from around $150 for an upper lip treatment to around $650 for a full back treatment. Of course our individual needs differ and some folk will require shorter treatments while others may need additional sessions to achieve the desired result.

How Many Treatments Will I Need? Depending on the type of hair you have, it will take about 3-6 treatments to produce the desired results. This is because your hair grows in 3 phases (the growing phase, the dormant phase and the resting phase) and laser treatments can only target hair that is in the growing phase which is about 85% of all body hairs at any given time. You simply have to wait for the other 15% to enter the growing phase before they can be treated. The good news is each successive treatment should be faster and less expensive.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful? The actual feeling is not unlike being snapped with a rubber band and most people would not classify it as pain.

What About Side Effects? For a few hours after the treatment there is usually a little redness and maybe some slight swelling; not unlike what you would experience after a waxing session. Within 24 hours, you are back to normal.

It is important to note that like any medical procedure, there is the potential for complications to arise which may include burning, changes in pigmentation, persistent redness and swelling and possible scarring. As always, it is best to consult your dermatologic surgeon concerning the risks involved in the procedure.

What Should I Do Before A Treatment? Your treatment clinic will have a list of do's and don'ts that you will need to be aware of prior to you appointment. However, as a general rule, the skin to be treated should be as natural as possible when you present for a laser hair removal treatment. That means no tans allowed! Not even fake tans.

Where Can I Find A Laser Hair Removal Clinic? It is wise to thoroughly check the credentials of the physician or technician performing the procedure prior to making an appointment. Most countries have a professional dermatology society with a directory of local accredited dermatologic surgeons that you are able to consult (in the US it is the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery).

Thanks to laser hair removal, it is at last possible to be problem hair free! Just make sure you do your research before taking the plunge and you will be well on the way to a bright and shiny you!

Why Stockings Have Some Much Sex Appeal

Few men can deny the sex appeal of a woman wearing a seamed stocking. It doesn't matter if the dress or skirt is short or mid length since the seam will cause an equal amount of furor in the men who gaze at them no matter what the length of the garment being worn.

When seamed stockings were first produced, it was not done with sex appeal in mind. Consider the fact that back when they were invented, women wore floor length dresses, so the stockings were not in evidence to those men who looked at and admired the ladies strolling by. Although these stockings were designed for utilitarian purposes, it could very well be the inability to see these stockings that raised their sexual appeal. Back then, if a man caught even a glimpse of a stocking encased ankle or calf, it was almost akin to today's men seeing the centerfold in a girlie magazine.

Despite today's skimpy clothing that leave little to the imagination, a woman who maintains mystery often has a greater appeal to men than those who walk around practically nude. Exotic dancers don't usually come on stage without their clothes, but slowly remove each piece as the men watch in anticipation. A woman who wears a veil over her face that covers everything except her eyes will garner as much attention from men as a beautiful woman whose face is exposed and maybe even more so it's the mystery of wondering what's behind that veil that gets so much thought and causes the imagination of men to soar.

The same may be also said of seamed stockings. Regular stockings or pantyhose are plain and don't call much attention. The seam on a stocking literally demands that a man notices a woman's legs. Watching the seam disappear under a skirt or dress further causes a man's imagination to start running, wondering about the promise that the disappearing seam holds.

It's because of the high sex appeal that seamed stocking hold that they have continued to be a popular lingerie item of women who want to promote their femininity and sexual appeal. They come in all types of colors and textures, with fishnet stocking holding the award for all around sexiness.

There are also practical reasons to don stockings. Unlike pantyhose that can actually cause health problems due to the lack of air circulating in the crotch area, because stockings are worn separately and held in place with a garter belt, air can circulate in that area and provide a healthier environment. Another great reason to choose stockings over pantyhose is because if you get a run in one leg of the pantyhose, the entire garment is ruined. If you have a good supply of stocking in the same color, if you get a run in one leg you can merely throw that one out and replace it with another of the same style.

The Big Bad Wolf and Fat Loss

A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them, "In every life there is a terrible fight - a fight between two wolves. One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility, confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion." A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?" The elder looked him in the eye. "The one you feed." Great question. Which wolf are you feeding? Are you feeding the good wolf, or the bad one? Did you have a great workout today, or did you just go through the motions? Did you even work out today? How long has it been since your last training session? Are your training sessions the same week in and week out? Have you hit a plateau? Do you remember the goals that you set? That is the true essence of achieving something greater. When we make the goals to lose weight, tone up or get in shape then we are feeding the good wolf. Remember that theses goals must be written down for them to count. Until you write them down, they are only an idea. Writing them down does two things. First it makes them tangible. And second, if they are tangible, then not only can you touch them, but you can reach for them and grab a hold of them with all your might! So, writing your goals is how you start feeding the good wolf; to continue to feed the good wolf, you must take action. Thinking about it won't make it happen. Try these tips to keep the big bad wolf starving out of his mind. 1) Make a journal of everything that you eat. When written on paper, then there is a measure of accountability. Even if you "cheat," write it down. Research has shown that you will have much more success this way. Dedication is the goal, not perfection. 2) Plan your attack. If you have a day planner or use a pocket PC, then schedule in advance when you are going to work out. When you have a plan, then you will make time for it instead of not having time for it. 3) Always chart your results. You always balance your check book at the end of the month, right? That way you know what money you have spent and/or saved. The same goes for your goals. Measure your waist, chest/bust, hips, thighs and arms to see that good things are happening. This will keep you excited and ready for more action! Keep training hard, stay focused and after aplying these tips your good wolf will end up fat and happy!

How The Fountain of Youth May Just Be in Our Midst

We oftentimes hear the description "ageless" to someone who at the prime of his years still looks young, healthy, and full of energy. Everybody wants that, being in tiptop shape in those prime years. The search for that legendary "fountain of youth continues with the relentless efforts medical science to look lengthen the lives of human beings. Yes, anti aging is possible and maintaining that youthful look and unstoppable energy can be done. Since the time of ancient civilizations, the search for that secret to staying young has always been of great importance and as time progressed with huge milestones in science and technology in the field of diseases and genetics, the quality of humankind's health has tremendously improved leading to an increased life expectancy. Before one is lead into the conclusion that the efforts of medical science is centrally focused on keeping the same young looking appearance and increasing life, then one has to think it over. These will just be results of the more pressing focus of medical science on doing more researches and studies on anti aging, and that is improving the quality of life as one ages by trying to eradicate and cure the common diseases that come with aging. These diseases are normally the causes of aging horrors such as graying and reducing hairline, wrinkled and worn out skin, protruded belly and distorted physical structure, debilitating memory, weakness, and early death. One has to understand first of course that aging cannot be stopped altogether like that legend of the "fountain of youth" where it promises you to stay young forever and ever. That's a far-fetched idea of course, not even science can stop you from reaching those years when you will be ready to face the sunset of your life. The good news is, aging can be slowed down and your quality of life even during those golden years can be much improved. That is as far as modern medical science can do. And experts in the field will all agree with one basic fact, and that is maintaining and enhancing the body's immune system. And how is this achieved? Basic and universal facts will always apply. To protect the immune system means to keep the body strong and resistant from diseases that weaken and tear that energy apart and this in turn will make you look older and not much happy feeling good about yourself as your prime years approach. These basics include a well balanced and proper nutrition, adequate rest, regular mental and physical exercises, proper skin care, regular check ups with your medical professional for recommendations on the best vitamin and food supplements, and possibly, anti aging medicines. With all the natural ways to delay the aging process, what is important at the end of the day is that you approach the prime of your life without any past regrets or grudges and having lived your life well. All these and more plus the positive outlook in life that "As a man thinketh, so is the man", which means that you your body responds to what your mind thinks, aging should not be a dreaded era of our lives and instead it should be the most fulfilling part when you have come of age and just realized that life was a blessing.
