Cellulite reducing therapy and 5 mythos regarding cellulite reduction

November 24th, 2010

Cellulite reduction therapy is all those non invasive methods used to get rid of cellulite. It can be the use of massage, lotions / creams, or other devices. There are also some non invasive technologies that try to remove cellulite, with ultrasound, light, radiofrequency (RF) and the most advanced technology on the market TriLipo.

Therapy also means that the procedures take time and must be done on a regular base. Some therapies can take months before seeing results. And in many cases the result is only temporary. The positive side of therapies is that they also work on the appearance of the skin that appears tighter, smoother and healthier.

Cellulite is fat cells and subcutaneous connective tissue found under the skin generally on the thigh and buttocks area, especially in women. It affects women as well as men although in much lower proportion, due to the difference in skin tissue structure between men and women.

Breast cancer in men

October 20th, 2010

Breast cancer awareness month is directing the attention of the aging population of the globe to the hi risk of breast cancer, it is “reminding” the public to get screened for early detection; hence increasing the survival rate of those who will fall within this annual statistic occurrence rate. Unfortunately most men will not identify themselves as one of the target audience for these cries for early screening and will place themselves in the lower percentage of survival rate as their condition will probably be discovered too late. The rate of breast cancer in men is about 1% of all breast cancer cases but the outcome of breast cancer in men is worse than in women due to late detection of the condition.

Treating depression with Botox

August 5th, 2010

Ageing is not an easy task…It takes more energy to maintain the body, to keep it vibrant painless and flexible. In addition wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots are an additional “side effect” of the ageing processes, all adding to the gradual change of appearance we face as the numbers advance on the birth day scale.

The extension of the average human lifespan and the large ageing baby boomers population have generated a well of anti-ageing products and technologies that are aimed at targeting the “side effects” of ageing, helping in body contouring, wrinkle reduction, skin tightening and more.

Do Athletes Suffer From Cellulite?

July 22nd, 2010

I have discussed cellulite in quite a few blogs on this board. It is a hot and important issue for most women of the world and most internet searches will claim that cellulite “curses” sectors of all women, even athletes.

Does she suffer from cellulite?

I have been searching through photos of active women athletes and I have to admit it is very rare to see cellulite on the exposed thighs or arms. Most athletes are very young and it would make sense that they would suffer less from this problem. However, it seems that active mature female athletes and ballet dancers suffer less than the average woman from dimpled skin. Read the rest of this entry »

The problem with sunscreen

July 14th, 2010

Most households in the western world have at least one sunscreen container in the bathroom cabinet. In this day and age of increased knowledge about the dangerous effects of the sun, it is important to know about the different sunscreens offered in the market and about maximizing one’s protection from the harmful exposure to the sun.
What sunscreen should one purchase? Do all sun screens fully protect against skin cancer? How much sun screen should one apply? How many times a day should we coat our skin with it?  Additional questions can and should be asked about this subject and not all questions have clear answers.

Dyeing your Grey hair?

July 7th, 2010

Grey hair has a strong social code for the “old”, “middle aged” and “Granny” age group. Many women (and men too, these days) turn to hair dyes in order to conceal the dreaded age revealer, grey hair.

I have been grey since my late thirties and have not had the urge to cover the grey. I believe you are as young as you feel or as old as you see yourself. To be honest, it has not been easy to withstand the pressure from society,  friends try to refer me to their favorite hairdresser or even better, say kind words like ”you look very young but you will look much younger if you dye your hair”. The hardest hit was when I came to pick up my son from kindergarten and heard the kids yelling “Your grandma is here to pick you up”!!!! But still I did not fall into the hair dying loop (once you start, it is hard to stop).

Taking care of your ageing hand

June 29th, 2010
Hands can look a few years younger

With proper attention and treatment, ageing signs of the hands can be reduced

Most women and some men (metrosexual men…) apply facial creams, eye creams and other anti-ageing treatments to reduce the signs of ageing of the face and body. However, hands, that are also an important age indicator, are failed to be addressed by many. Hands are the most exposed body part to ageing elements like water, house-hold chemicals and the sun, major skin ageing inducers that can be dealt with through proper measures. When dealing with ageing of hands, the symptoms include: ageing spots, thinning of the skin, general thinning of hands and protruding veins. The skin in general, including skin of the hands, produces less collagen as we age hence causing thinning of the skin, thus causing the veins to protrude and the hands to look bonier.

With proper attention and treatment, ageing signs of the hands can be reduced and the hands can look a few years younger. For those of you still young with beautiful hands, make sure to take measures to postpone ageing of hands by applying sunscreen to your hands twice a day. It is also important to wear gloves when washing dishes or if handling house hold chemicals. This will protect your hands from dryness and from the harsh effects of cleaners, detergents etc’.
