Collagen and art?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Have you ever wondered about the perfect designs nature provides? For example, color combinations of flowers and birds, perfect design of crystals and the amazing structures discovered when viewing the fine details of our physiological/physical existence through a magnifying glass or even better, through a regular or electronic microscope.

Before and After-the ecological aspect

Monday, May 17th, 2010
“Before and After” (B&A) photos are usually linked to the aesthetic or design industries. The most impressing way to demonstrate a change in wrinkles or body contour is to display photographs of the body area before and then after a treatment or a series of treatments.
Working in the aesthetic industry has triggered the urge in me to take the B&A to a different level and to contribute to society and mother earth by using B&A photos for socially and ecologically responsible projects.

I have selected to photograph very dirty beaches in my vicinity, clean them and then photograph them after they are clean. (more…)

Green tea for fat reduction

green tea for fat reduction

I would recommend going for plain organic green tea

Green tea has been investigated and researched to determine its medical and health related benefits. It has been claimed to reduce the chance of certain cancer, heart disease, improve ratio of HDL/LDL cholesterol, increase bone density and much more. Many of the listed benefits attributed to green tea are of anti ageing nature, and are related to prevention of conditions typical to the ageing population. In the past decade, green tea has been associated with weight loss too. (more…)

Ms. Muraki  Hiroe, of Style-M and the Matsukura clinic in the fashionable Omotesando Hills district in Tokyo Japan, has been voted as the No1 aesthetician 2 years in a row by a few magazines in Japan.
Being voted as the No 1 Aesthetician in Japan is not a trivial or minor honor, taking into account the high value the Japanese culture places on beauty, body care, aesthetics of appearance, generally talking the art of beautifying the body to its highest level. (more…)

Popular Dermal Fillers

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Aging is a natural process that all women and men who live to a ripe mature age will experience. Even though aging is also associated with wisdom and experience, it is not easy to convince oneself that the wrinkles and sagging skin are actually a wonderful sign of the wisdom acquired through life experience. In the past the only treatment option for aging skin and body involved invasive surgery that often results in an extreme change of facial expression and proportions and requires substantial recovery time.
The aesthetic industry has evolved in the past years offering many viable alternatives to the knife. Dermal fillers have become a common treatment for aging skin, and wrinkles. Contrary to face lift results which induce tight, flattened pulled skin, derma fillers, when injected correctly, will result in a natural fuller look  (When done poorly the outcome can include lumps and granules or even out of proportion facial contour).

Enjoy your chocolate this Valentines Day

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Valentines Day is creeping closer and with it the thought of chocolate bars, good truffles and beautifully packed boxes of chocolate candy. Chocolate, cards and flowers are the most common Valentines Day gifts. Chocolate has long been associated with women, lust, feeling of well being and even anti aging. It would be great if chocolate would be prescribed as an antiaging fountain of youth treatment but unfortunately chocolate has also a bad connotation due to high sugar and fat content. (more…)

Menopause in men?

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Menopause is a condition associated with women defined by the cessation of the monthly menstruation cycles. Menopause is characterized by an array of physiological and emotional changes related to the drop in levels of estrogen and progesterone. These include: hot flashes and night sweats, sleep disturbances, decline of bone mass that may lead to osteoporosis, irritability, increase in cholesterol level, depression, thinning of the skin, atrophy of the breasts and reproductive organs, memory loss and loss of sex drive. There have been claims that men also experience a similar condition to menopause, labeled andropause, climacteric or viropause. The definition of andropause as defined by online Merriam Webster dictionary: (more…)

Marlboro Man versus the Metrosexual man

Monday, December 14th, 2009

The “Marlboro Man” advertisement was launched in 1954 to introduce the Marlboro feminine cigarettes (with filter) to the male population. The idea was to portray rugged men, the cowboy type (with wrinkled rough skin); smoking filtered cigarettes. The campaign was one of the most successful advertising crusades ever and it managed to transform the Marlboro image from the feminine to the rugged male image within months.  (more…)

Curb your sweet tooth, slow down skin aging?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

It would be nice if research would discover that consumption of sugar is great for your health, but unfortunately, sugar consumption always has negative impacts and outcomes.

Even skin aging and wrinkles are associated with sugar consumption, so face it, there is no place for denial, any way you look at it…sugar is bad for you, too bad so many of us are  addicted to it…but how can one help the sugar addiction, when it adds that little sweetness and passion to life.

Infrared radiation for anti-aging skin treatment

Infrared radiation for anti-aging skin treatment

Aging is unavoidable fact of life – everyday we are all getting older. However, it is not age itself that bothers us, but the visible signs of aging that can make us feel old despite the fact that we feel young and vital. The health and look of our skin – whether on our face or on our body – plays a significant part in how old we feel and is seen as the most common indicator to others of our age. Facial wrinkles,  neck décolletage and hands are one of the most visible signs of skin aging. Over time they tend to get more visible. Wrinkles aren’t an illness! But wrinkles can alter the way we look, and this may change the way we feel about ourselves. Wrinkles usually start as fine lines. They tend to get deeper over time. Wrinkles are often noticeable on the face. Lines tend to form on the face in the places our skin folds when we smile or make other facial expressions. (more…)

Combining Lymphatic Drainage Massage with TriPollar treatments

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

 

Pollogen’s Clincal Applications Specialist report from the field

It is always good to meet professionals that are using our TriPollar® technology in their practice; I learn many working tips from them that can be relayed to our customers to enhance the results of treatment with TriPollar for skin tightening, cellulite reduction and body contouring. In the last TriPollar workshop held in Japan I witnessed the amazing results of combining treatments with the TopJen device (TriPollar RF) with manual lymphatic drainage massage. First the practitioner performed a TopJen™ treatment according to the TopJen device treatment protocol. The treatment was concluded with a 5 – 10 minutes manual lymphatic drainage massage of the treated area. Below are photos of combination treatment results (TriPollar followed by manual lymphatic massage) on the right waist. (more…)

apollo™ system in the General Hospital of Beijing Military Command

It sounds strange having the most advanced beauty equipment, the apollo system powered by TriPollar®, in a military hospital, but the General Hospital of Beijing military command is one of the largest modern hospitals in China. The hospital was founded in 1953 and is under the auspices of the People’s Liberation Army, its mission includes assuring the health of PLA and the Country’s leaders. (more…)
