About Laser - Electrolysis

Today, there are two methods of achieving permanent hair reduction. At Strauman Associates, we offer both. You have a choice. Let’s take a closer look at laser technology.

Laser

The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Laser hair removal works through selective photothermolysis - an energy source in the form of highly concentrated light that can be precisely directed into the hair follicle.

Very specific wavelengths of light are used to penetrate the skin without causing skin damage.

Melanin (color) in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light. This causes very brief, high temperatures in the hair follicle but not the surrounding skin.

The high temperature in the hair follicle damages the structures responsible for hair growth (the papilla).

Treatment consists of placing a small hand piece near the skin and administering laser pulses over the area to be treated. The laser light is pulsed for a fraction of a second - just long enough to disable the hair follicle.

Unlike electrolysis, practically any area of the body can be treated. For men, it is also possible to treat the face to retard the growth of a beard.

All lasers are not the same. At Strauman Associates, we use the Gentlelase Plus, manufactured by Candela - a leading corporation in the production of aesthetic and medical lasers. The Gentlelase Plus is the industry’s only hair removal laser with the Dynamic Cooling Device which allows for epidermal protection and faster treatment.

No one can determine if laser services would be right for you without having a consultation. At Strauman Associates, in order to serve you best, we only do laser hair removal after a free-of-charge consultation.
Now let’s look at electrology.

Electrology

Because hair grows in cycles (anagen or growing phase, catagen or shedding phase, and telogen or resting phase) and can best be eliminated during its growth cycle (anagen), successful electrology requires a series of scheduled treatments. These treatment sessions typically last from fifteen minutes to an hour.

Electrologists treat unwanted hair by applying a small amount of electrical current to the base of the hair follicle by means of a very fine sterile probe. The energy from this hair-fine probe destroys the growth center of the hair follicle, called the papilla. The probe never punctures the skin. Rather, it is inserted directly into the hair follicle.

There are three medically recognized techniques used by electrologists today. The original method invented in the 1800s is called electrolysis. It uses direct current (DC, also called galvanic current) to produce a chemical reaction that destroys the papilla. The second technique, called short wave or thermolysis, uses alternating current (AC) to generate heat which cauterizes the follicle. The third technique, known as blend, combines direct current and alternating current (DC + AC) to eliminate hair growth cells.

The device that regulates the type and amount of energy delivered to the probe is called an epilator. After each follicle is treated, the hair is removed with sterile forceps.

Because we want to address all your concerns, Strauman Associates offers all three techniques.

What Makes Us Fat

Anyone who wants to resolve any problem, he has to know the cause of problem above all. It is the same by losing weight. We have to know why we are growing fat first, then, we can suit the remedy to the case.

Unhealthy eating combined with sustained lack of activity usually causes obesity. You take more calories than you burn everyday, your body then puts on fat. This is the common sense behind obesity. Further more, according to genetics, obesity could also be inherited from family members. If your family has a history of weight problems, then you should watch your weight very carefully.

However, bad eating habits are the top reason why people become obese. With neither the time, nor the inclination to control one’s meals, there’s no wonder people get fat all over the world. People are always busy, but this is not the excuse that we have to eat junk food all the time. Fast foods may look good, but they contain too high fat for your body. Thing is, a single burger is worth a whole meal, but your body does not judge the situation this way. Your stomach will never be filled by a regular burger, so it will keep asking for more, despite the fact that your body does not need more burgers.

Many people try diets in order to lose a few pounds. But the fact is, most of them return to their old lifestyle and eating habits easily, which almost always means the lost weight would be regained rapidly. Moreover, the body will get used to these diets after long time diet taking, and after that it will be much harder for you to lose weight. Strictly taking diets means you have to refuse a lot of delicious foods, which will make these foods much more attractive than usual. The result is, most of the diets takers give up easily.

At the end of this article, I would say, keep a healthy lifestyle is the most effective way to keep you fit. Don’t eat foods with high calories too often, do enough sport exercises regularly and better on a daily basis. If you already have weight problems, then you’d better try some products like Proactol fat binder, which won’t ask you to eat diets strictly. I’ve already seen too many people tried diets and gave up. Results are they regained more fat than before.

Why Are We So Overweight?

admin — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 10:52:08 +0000

I suppose the easiest answer is fast food, but the problem extends out to so much more. Yes, the prevalence of fast food restaurants certainly doesn’t help. As Morgan Spurlock showed us with painful reality in his movie, “Super Size Me”, fast food menus offer us a heaping helping of fat, cholesterol, and calories. I highly recommend watching this movie if you find yourself addicted to McDonald’s - you could very well change your mind after you see it!

At any rate, many of these restaurants are now offering health-conscious choices including salads, potatoes instead of French fries, yogurt, and grilled meats instead of fried meats. So with these items now included on their menu, why aren’t we losing weight? The answer lies within our choices. Those choices extend to home life as well.

Many people live horridly busy lifestyles, and they more often than not opt for pre-packaged foods that contain high amounts of salt, fat, and other unhealthy components that contribute toward weight gain. We tend to maintain a mostly sedentary lifestyle choosing to watch a favorite television program after dinner rather than going out for a walk like they used to do decades ago.

This type of life style unfortunately is being learned by our children as well. When I was young, we couldn’t wait to get through dinner so we could go outside and play a game of kick the can as the sun went down. We rode our bikes everywhere and only watched television when “The Brady Bunch” or “The Partridge Family” was on. Hey, we had our priorities!

Today, you’re more likely to find kids on the computer or in front of the TV with a video game controller in their hands. Kids know more about the story line on Desperate Housewives than many of their housewife mothers. They can tell you about all of the new products being offered through commercials they see in between their programs. In fact, the average child these days will watch more than 15 hours of television each and every week.

List of Health Problems Because of Obesity

admin — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 10:51:44 +0000

Obesity is because of eating too many calories and not getting enough physical activities to burn those calories. Excess calories are deposited in the body as fat.

Obesity increases the risk of several health problems like high blood pressure, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, gout, gallstones, colon cancer, sleep apnea and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

High blood pressure:

Blood vessels carry blood from heart to different organs of the body and back to heart. The blood vessels have thick but elastic walls for proper flow of blood. Decrease in elasticity of blood vessel wall increases pressure on blood passing through these vessels. Obesity decreases elasticity of blood vessels causing increase in blood pressure.

Diabetes in obesity:

Insulin is required for entry of carbohydrate into cells from the blood. The carbohydrate in cell is utilized for energy production by the cells. Excess deposition of fat in the body causes insulin resistance, because of which, insulin cannot perform its function and sugar cannot enter into cells and remain in blood. This leads to diabetes or high blood sugar. High sugar in blood leads to complications in various organs like kidney, eyes, blood vessel, and heart.

Atherosclerosis or fatty deposits in blood vessels:

Obesity is associated with increase in levels of bad cholesterol in blood. Increase cholesterol in blood causes atherosclerosis or deposition of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels. Atherosclerosis reduces the elasticity of blood vessels, narrows blood vessels and decreases blood flow through these vessels. All these changes lead to increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

Heart diseases:

Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply blood to heart muscles. Atherosclerosis or fatty deposits in coronary arteries in obesity decreases blood supply to heart muscles. Decreased oxygen supply and blood flow to heart can cause angina (chest pain) and complete blockage of blood flow to heart can cause heart attack.

Stroke or paralysis:

Atherosclerosis in arteries of brain can reduce blood supply to the brain. This decrease in blood flow can result in stroke or paralysis.

Arthritis:

Obesity and overweight increases the load on the joints such as the knee, hip and lower back, which can cause the breakdown of cartilage in the joint. Cartilage is a cushion like structure in a joint required for smooth movement of joints. Breakdown of cartilage in obesity results in joint pain and stiffness and other features of osteoarthritis.

Gout:

A type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints. Obesity is associated with increased accumulation of these solid crystal-like masses in joints, which causes inflammation and pain.

Sleep apnea:

Overweight and excess fat around neck causes narrowing of airways and leads to sleep apnea. In sleep apnea, person snores heavily and stops breathing for short periods, which results in frequent awakening at night.

Fatty liver disease:

Obesity increases the risk of developing liver disease called fatty liver disease due to accumulation of fat in liver.

Gallbladder disease and gallstones:

Obesity increases cholesterol deposition in gall bladder, which can lead to formation of gallstones.

SEXUAL MATURATION AS EARLY PUBERTY

admin — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 10:51:22 +0000

A year ago during my daughter’s health control, who actually is seven years old, for pollen allergy suspect, the doctors noticed the beginning of secondary sexual characters as: breast growing, pubic hair and consequently I told the doctors that my child was having by several months heavy sweating too.

The doctors inspecting the problem advised me to monitor the early transformation best known as:“Early puberty”.

After the initial sense of anxiety and confusion, I though to myself: “It’s unbelievable, my little child is becoming already a woman”.

I decided to assure a healthy future to my daughter following with much attention the endocrinologist’s advices as:

• Pelvic Ecography: to monitor the ovaries, uterus and follicles dimension to see if the child is ready for menstruation.

• Left wrist X ray: to control the bone growing since if becomes too soon there is the probability the child’s eight stops with the beginning of menstruation, risking to remain under-average against to her classmates.

• Blood exam: hormonal dosage DEHA-S (sexual hormones. By checking the hormones dosage to value the function sexual glands either female or male), glycemia and diabets.

The early puberty also involves the children from the age of 9 to 14 years old, revealing with following signs:

- developing armpit, pubic and facial hair;

- penis growing and testicular enlargement.

The early puberty for little girls begins between the age of 8 to 13 years old. While for the female eight amount begins with the growing the breast, for male the growing stars at mid premature development.

Psychological consequences.

An important phase and most of all not to under estimate is the “psychological disturbs” which may provoke the early puberty in the child, who faces physical transformations for which still is not ready and causes in her a sense of diversity and isolation against her classmates.

After learning that also my child is in the early puberty phase, a question which worried me was: “How to explain to my little child her sexual transformation? To my baby who still plays with dolls and loves the fairy tales? The answer I achieved to find only in the deep of my heart, creating with her a very confidential and lovely dialogue, explaining her in clear and comprehensive words , what was happening at her body.

We can do a lot to monitor the early puberty following few, but precise rules:

- to control the body weight, avoiding to become obese or overweight;

- to educate the children to a daily physical activity;

- to insert in their hypercaloric diet, meat without xeno-estrogens (giving

hormones to fatten and grow the animals rapidly) as: chicken, beef and

pork’s meat.

These chemical substances are present in:

- DDT (pesticide for agricultural production);

- industrial detersive;

- canned food.

The overexposition of such hormones causes an increase of women cancer to:

- breast, uterus, endometrium and ovaries;

and for men to:

- prostate, testicular and male sterility.

So, to prevent the early puberty:“WATCH OUT TO THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK”.
