Laser Hair Removal For Permanent Results.
Jun0
Why wax, shave or pluck when laser hair removal is so wonderful? Plenty of research has gone into finding ways to permanently remove unwanted hair. It’s upsetting when you get caught with unwanted hair between waxing and shaving sessions. Permanent hair removal is the answer to this problem, whether it’s bikini hair removal, body hair removal,or facial hair removal, that you are after. The risks associated with electrolysis hair removal mean that the best choice is laser hair removal or intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal. permanent laser hair removal Hair growth is stopped by knocking out the hair follicle and the treatment can be carried out anywhere on the body. To get the best results you will need to have several treatments to be sure of getting all the hairs as the treatment only works on the 30% of hairs that are in the growth phase at any one time. Everyone knows that new active hair follicles are being produced by the body all the time so laser hair removal won’t mean being hair free forever. But all it takes is the occasional hair removal ‘maintenance’ treatment and this is much better than frequent, painful, trips to the waxing salon or being caught with stubble between visits! hair removal treatments The dark pigment in your hair absorbs the intense bursts of light and the hair follicle is heated and permanently knocked out. It only takes a few days for the hair to fall out and as the follicle won’t produce another hair your skin will remain smooth and hair free. Best laser hair removal results are with dark hair (relative to skin colour) but unfortunately laser hair removal has little or no effect on red, white or grey hair. If you can endure being flicked by an elastic band you will find laser hair removal quite tolerably comfortable. The sensation doesn’t last more than an instant. The treatment will, at the same time, be rejuvenating your skin which is an added bonus. As a result you’ll soon get used to a super soft, stubble free skin and you’ll never go back to the old crude ways of shaving and waxing. permanent facial hair removal The permanent solution is laser hair removal!
Can you cure Acid Reflux?
Nov0
Acid reflux or GERD is a major health issue. It can affect both women and mens health. It is regurgitation of stomach content high in acid into the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which remains tightly closed, prevents reflux and opens when peristaltic waves herald the imminent arrival of swallowed food. When the lower esophageal sphincter becomes incompetent acid reflux will result. This is called gastro-esophageal reflux disease or GERD.
So can you cure your acid reflux? If there is true lower esophageal incompetence, then there is no cure. You will need maintenance treatment with acid suppressants like omeprazole, or surgical treatment like fundoplication will relieve your symptoms if very severe or you develop secondary problems.
There are, however, various factors that can affect the efficiency of the LES and acid reflux. Consider eliminating these factors that may impact on GERD before seeing your doctor or taking over the counter acid suppressants. Sometimes all you need is a change of lifestyle.
A contributory cause of acid reflux is obesity. It is more likely in the apple type distribution of weight. The increased bulk in the abdomen makes it difficult for the esophagus to discharge food effectively into the stomach. In addition obese individuals are prone to developing hiatus hernias. A hiatus hernia can weaken the LES. Losing weight is an important aspect of GERD treatment.
Acid reflux can be caused by wearing tight fitting clothes especially if it is two sizes too small. The pressure exerted on the stomach may trigger back flow into the gullet. Your symptoms will improve if you wear loose clothes.
A large meal entering the stomach will increase the pressure on the LES and can cause acid reflux. We all experience this at some time or other. Gastric clearance time is also increased by large volume increasing the risk for reflux. Eating smaller portions more frequently will counter this problem.
Certain foods can affect GERD. Allergic Eosinophilic Esophagitis is an inflammation caused by cow’s milk intolerance. Removing cow’s milk protein from your diet will control this. Other foods such as fats, coffee, alcohol, tea and some spices can affect the lower esophageal sphincter.
The lower esophageal sphincter can be affected by some drugs and result in acid reflux. Broncho-dilators such as theophylline, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), tri-cyclic antidepressants ie amitryptilline and drugs for Parkinson’s disease are in this list.
Female hormones can affect acid reflux. In a Scandinavian Study, women on hormones had increased risk of GERD. These drugs include the contraceptive pill and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The peristaltic waves in the esophagus can be slowed down by sedatives and tranquillisers and can affect clearance of food from the esophagus.
If you have GERD, opt for liquid medication. Tetracycline and certain other drugs are corrosive to the esophageal lining. Tablets and capsules (gelcaps) can get stuck in the esophagus. Make it a habit to drink a glass of water to wash the medication down. Avoid taking medication while lying down. It is best for GERD patients to take medication sitting up or standing and avoid lying down immediately after.
Nicotine in corrosive to the esophageal lining and also relaxes the LES. Stop smoking and your acid reflux might improve.
Acid Reflux risk is increased by certain exercises. Competitive weightlifting and cycling can do this. Joggers can develop GERD symptoms.
If by eliminating all the risk factors, your symptoms disappear, then you have actually cured your acid reflux. However, if the symptoms persist, the next step is a visit to your doctor.
