How to choose laser surgery?

What is the excimer laser surgery

Eye Dr Wong pointed out that the use of excimer laser surgery is an excimer light, precise cutting the cornea, thus changing the eye's refractive power, the vision returned to normal. The technology introduced to China has been ten years, brought light to many patients. Currently on the market to use more LASIK and LASEK, the former as "in situ keratomileusis", which is the "subepithelial keratomileusis." The latest ORK, refers to "customized ablation in laser surgery," that is a "tailored" approach, cutting programs more carefully, so prices are more expensive than the previous two. However, these are the same basic mechanism of operation, namely, by cutting a certain thickness of the cornea to complete, so the higher the degree of myopia, the more cutting the cornea, the lower the security operation.

Individual hospitals claimed laser surgery, "immediate, no side effects, no rebound." In this regard, experts say it is misleading to consumers, the scope of laser surgery, there are strict requirements, not everyone can do.

Not everyone is suitable for surgery

Dr Wong said, usually require surgery over the age of 18, less than 1500 degrees myopia, astigmatism less than 600 degrees, and no other eye disease to surgery. Some myopic cornea itself is very thin, laser surgery can not be myopic, but also glaucoma, keratoconus eyes and so sick, and potential inoperable. In general, myopic laser surgery in China is quite mature now, and success of the procedure, laser surgery depends on the specific operation of medical equipment and technology. Therefore, asking price is appropriate in the same time, look for the best equipment and medical surgical unit's experience and so on. In general, to a large hospital surgery is relatively secure, because the surgery program, such as preoperative examination will be in a more professional and detailed. The clinic may be for a few non-standard benefit, and conceal the test results, and even surgery is not suitable for the surgery, so that greatly increased the risk of surgery.

Do not just look at the price

Currently, the market price of laser surgery also vary widely, from 2,000 yuan to 8,000 per month, the difference Where is it? Experts said that a 400 excimer equipment needs over a million dollars, with each operation and the disposable supplies, Even the cost of 2,000 yuan is not enough. In order to reduce the cost of individual hospitals, it is possible to use second-hand medical equipment, re-use blades, omitted part of such examination, the patient lay hidden.

Dr Wong said that laser surgery for myopia is achieved by cutting the cornea, myopia is reduced by 100 degrees, about 14 microns to the thickness of the cutting, and a normal corneal thickness of only 500 to 600 microns, so the deeper the degree of myopia, the risk greater. If after corneal surgery after cutting thin, can not resist the pressure in the eye, or even the formation of keratoconus, loss of vision. Myopia surgery because of corneal thinning, usually not any problem, but safety is bound to decline, after all this surgery and, like any other surgery, there is risk, not hundred percent successful. Experts advise on this, in the choice of myopia laser surgery, be sure to look at science, do not be misled by false advertising. But to do surgery, or will choose to see short-sighted decisions themselves.  

From the above,maybe you have known some notes of choosing laser surgery.So you will be wise to do such laser in your later life.

Let's get to know of laser hair removal

Today,let's get to know of laser hair removal.It's said that the laser hair removal technique comes in use in 1990. Newer lasers remove hair from your body safely, affordably and effectively. It’s not an issue what type of skin you have. The common philosophy about laser hair removal is that it is permanent to remove hair. But does not work on everybody.

The hair removal method like waxing, shaving and plucking from your body are not permanent and also these are uncomfortable, time consuming and expensive. After a day later they return back so you may be interested in laser hair removal. It woks on the treatment area of the body where soft and smooth skin desired.

Laser hair removal targets the melanin (the dark pigment that gives hair its colour). As the melanin absorbs the laser's light, the resulting heat kills the surrounding hair follicles. As this treatment only works on dark hair, men are at an advantage. As well as the laser needing to locate melanin, the hair must also be in a certain stage of its growth cycle for the treatment to be effective. This cycle is known as the ‘active growing phase' and is when the hair is connected to the base of the hair follicle. This connection provides a direct pathway for the laser energy to disperse where the hair is produced at the base of the follicle, destroying it and limiting any re-growth. The majority of men have very dark or even black hairs on their body, making it easier for the laser to target the hairs you want to remove. Men typically want excess hair removing from their back, chest, neck, abdomen and sometimes the thighs.

Laser hair removal usually takes more than one treatment for any lasting results. Generally it requires two to six treatments over a period of two to six weeks, depending on your skin type. While you may experience some discomfort during your first session, as you get used to the sensation you won't even notice the procedure being done. You may feel a stinging sensation afterwards, although this isn't anything too painful and your skin will be slightly reddened, but this will subside in 24 hours. Unless the feeling persists for more than 72 hours, then you should contact your doctor.

There are a number of definite benefits to obtaining professional laser hair removal as opposed to some of the other common methods of dealing with unwanted hair. The only major drawback to professional laser hair removal really appears to the cost associated with the process. However, as technology has improved, the costs associated with the laser procedure has become to drop over time.

Therefore, the use of botox toxin cosmetic surgery to eliminate wrinkles came into being, and because a significant effect but in a very short period of time to rage throughout the United States. Botox toxin type A highly toxic, it can destroy a protein named SNAP-25, thereby cutting off communication between nerve cells to muscle paralysis. Botulinum toxin type A has been used for the treatment of the functionality of strabismus and muscle spasms, and later cosmetic doctors began to use this toxin paralysis of facial muscles to achieve the lifting effect.

Italian researchers found in animal experiments, the secretion of Clostridium botulinum type A toxin, which is the cosmetic injection Botox wrinkle the main component, is injected into the skin may also enter the central nervous system, or even reach the brain stem. The finding that botulinum toxin wrinkle security issue has once again aroused concern.

Food of botulinum botulinum disease patients with traumatic ... feeding children meat cause botulism food poisoning, such as: 1. PH> 4.6, low acid canned food (including cans, glass jar) 2 . sausage, ham. Botox injections in, as a dermatologist, is still very safe, but there are some issues to draw attention:

If you don't know,let experts tell you.Skin Repair Center Director Zhao said: there are many ways to remove the face acne scars now, the most common way is the drug treatment, the slow onset of drug therapy, there will be a small number of patients with resistance to drug treatment whic is not sensitive, so it is not a good solution to face acne scars.

Some people will approach to the laser treatment, laser treatment for some of the darker acne scars. When laser treatment scar treatment 2 to 3 days after the scab, scab usually in 7 to 10 days after the natural fall off, after the scab falls off there will be slight erythema or pigmentation. Laser treatment of scars and the method is not able to see the results after one treatment, generally about 5 times to treatment. After treatment, the average can repair 80 to 90%. The effect will be based on their ability to regenerate the skin is different.
If the deep scars caused by fat loss, fat injection can be used to the treatment of acne scars. Fat injection technique is mainly due to fat loss for deep scars caused by the use of this method to get fat from other parts of the body, and then wash into the scar treatment scar, but no lasting effects of this treatment is its defects, the general sustainable effect lasts six months to one year.

Know about Pigmentation Treatment

Before we get to know about Pigmentation Treatment.We have to know what does Pigmentation mean frist? Pigmentation refers to the unexplained darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation) of the skin. Causes can usually be pinpointed to UVR exposure, trauma, medication, a chemical substance, or hormonal and Vitamin A & C deficiencies.

So what factors cause skin pigmentation disorder in the first place? Many factors have been declared as culprit for causing skin pigmentation problem. Sometimes it is due to allergic reaction of some kind of medication and at other times it is due to hormonal imbalance or change in the body.

There are many different types of pigmentation and pigmentation treatment depends on whether it is a passive or inflammatory type of pigmentation.

Some forms of passive pigmentation include Chloasma and Melasma, associated with a hormonal trigger and subsequent cascade of Melanin Stimulating Hormone.

If you are a dark skinned women in the age group of 20-40 do not despair. It is a very common skin disorder. It appears on the forehead, cheeks and upper lip in dark patches. Sometimes it appears on the forearms and necks. Even though men do get this skin condition their percentage is very low compared to that of women.

Vitiligo is probably the commonest cause of depigmentation and generates a lot of concern due to the fact that it causes not only depigmentation but also makes the skin color very uneven and patchy , and hence unsightly. Other common conditions resulting in depigmentation include, Albinism, Tenia Versicolor, nevus depigmentosus and guttate hypomelanosis.

Hormonal Changes or Imbalance: During pregnancy there are a lot of hormonal changes in the body of the pregnant lady. This causes facial pigmentation which subsequently gets cleared without any treatment after child birth. But even if you are not pregnant you are susceptible to melasma due to hormonal changes.

So what we should do in order to get rid of pigmentation:

Hydroquinone Cream
Home Recipe - A mixture of heavy cream and lemon juice is another example of how to get rid of pigmentation.
Eat Radishes
Orange Peels
Arbutin Creams - Arbutin may be the most effective natural pigment reducing ingredient.

Avoid Petroleum-based Alcohols: Petroleum-based alcohols are known to cause brown spots on the skin, although the reason for this is as yet, unclear. Alcohols typically sting, which could trick the melanocytes into thinking that a sun burn has occurred.

The other ingredient that you can not miss is Grape seed oil. Grape seed oil is rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid and several other essential oils which are necessary for skin health. Many scientific studies have shown it is effective for skin repairing and freckles removing on face.

Laser hair removal

What is  Laser hair removal?Do you know that?It is based on selective thermal dynamics, through controlling the laser wavelength, energy, pulse width, the laser can reach the skin surface through the root of the hair follicle, the light can be absorbed and converted into heat damage to the hair follicle tissue, so that the regenerative capacity of hair loss, while not damage surrounding tissue, mild pain, laser hair removal is the most safe, fast, go long hair techniques.

Here is five major advantages of laser hair removal:

First, a large square spot, fast hair removal, speed up treatment of the speed!

Laser hair removal is designed to spot 9 mm square spot, the large area of ​​skin, hair removal, not only efficient, fast, and can eliminate traditional spot formed by laser treatment of circular overlap dead.

Second, the sapphire contact cooling cooling patented technology security does not damage the skin

Contact cooling laser in the treatment of the sapphire window close to the skin, so that local skin cooling to 5 degrees, and thus protect the normal skin from heat damage, reduce pain, but also increase the treatment of energy, improve the outcome. Under the pressure of the skin while the laser head, so that the hair follicle lodging, the absorption of the laser 30% -40%.

Third, long time to adjust the light pulse to protect the skin while removing hair of different thickness

Required to effect the best hair removal laser pulse on time and the thickness of hair, hair laser required for the more rough longer, LightSheer semiconductor red laser light laser pulse time from 5 seconds to 100 milliseconds cents, get a good hair removal effect at the same time, can effectively protect the epidermis from thermal damage.

Fourth, the best laser wavelength

Laser hair removal of two important conditions must be met first, the laser can be fully absorbed by the hair follicle tissue; second, the laser can effectively penetrate the skin to reach the location of the hair follicle. LightSheer semiconductor laser wavelength is 800 nm, in the spectra of near-infrared region, melanin absorption is better, while the deep penetration to the dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue, the role and depth in different parts of the hair follicle, effectively removing any part of the body and depth of the hair.

Fifth, the most suitable for Asian pigmentation

Of traditional laser hair removal, hair removal induced in skin pigmentation, skin, inflammation occurs, especially ruby ​​or alexandrite laser, the inflammation became apparent, and functional near-perfect "clean to the skin," Laser hair removal through the Lightsheer depth of deep skin absorbs less laser energy, it does not produce hyperpigmentation, inflammation does not appear.

Something about surgery laser

Surgery laser is a hot word since recent years.Have you ever had a surgery of it? Today, I just talk about what I know of surgery laser.Welcome for your supplementary  on the comments.

Laser was first used for surgical and therapeutic purposes since early 1960s. Over many years of scientific research, laser technology and equipment has rapidly developed and advanced. Laser technology is now widely-employed in surgeries such as laser eye surgery and cosmetic laser surgery, cancer laser surgery and so on.And it may be used to the other fields in the future.Let's look forward to the advanced technology.

Unlike conventional surgery, laser surgery uses laser light source as a replacement for a scalpel. Types of laser light source that are commonly-used are carbon dioxide, pulsed dye and yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) lasers. Each laser light beam appears with unique colour. Type of laser used in a surgery is closely related to the nature of the surgery and the colour of targeted tissue.

Laser beam emits heat to destroy targeted dead or ill tissues. Similarly, in soft tissue laser surgery, laser vaporizes soft tissue which is highly rich in water. Apart from cutting tissues, laser surgery can also be used to prevent or reduce bleeding from blood vessels. In addition, it is performed to cure skin swelling and removes tattoo, hairs, wrinkles and birthmarks. Besides these, it is often employed to remove brain or liver tumours with as lightest damage and scarring as possible.

What's more, laser surgery has proven to be remarkably efficient in killing tumour cell and controlling its rate of growth. Laser surgery is also useful in sealing nerve endings in order to minimize post-surgery pain. Another common application is laser eye surgery. The most popular technique amongst all types of laser eye surgeries is known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Similar to normal surgical vision corrective procedure, LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea and treats near, far-sighted and other vision problems. This provides an alternative for people who are trying to get rid of contact lens and spectaculars.One of my friend wearing contact lens is the benefit of the technology.

But you do not think that it just has advantages.Every surgery has its own risks and inevitable consequences. This applies to laser surgery is no exception. There are possibilities that it may cause infection, pain, bleeding, changing of skin colour and incomplete cure of illness.

Looking at the advantages of laser surgery, it is still worth a try. One of the significant advantages is that patient's recovery period after surgery is generally shorter. Yet, the outcome is comparably with that of conventional surgery. For some cases, the recovery period for patient is even almost negligible.
