Traditionally, Botox is thought of as a way to reverse the aging process by removing unwanted wrinkles. Botox has been widely discussed as a medical treatment for migraines, asthma, and depression before. Recent studies have shown that Botox can actually treat bladder disorders too.

In a recent study done in Taiwan, Botox significantly reduced urinary frequency and urgency. In another study, conducted by the University of Kansas, researchers found that 62 percent of patients who received surgery for bladder issues could have had Botox injections to treat their bladder disorder.

Dr. Rose Khavari, who is the director of research at the Houston Methodist Center for Restorative Pelvic Medicine, spoke about how Botox could treat bladder disorders by saying, “We think Botox has two different kinds of effects in the bladder. One, it blocks the nerve endings that go to the muscles that are responsible for bladder contractions. The other way we think it works is by blocking the sensory effect, the sensation of frequency and urgency from the brain”.

These studies show that Botox is much more than a cosmetic wrinkle treatment. Botox can give patients diagnosed with irritable bladder syndrome relief without the stress of undergoing surgery.

Sensitive skin affects millions of people worldwide. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 50 percent of people surveyed have some form of skin sensitivity. The most common symptoms of sensitive skin are redness and burning and stinging sensations. These symptoms are often associated with inflammation.

Sensitive skin is a serious condition and surprisingly one of the most recommended ways to treat it is by getting laser hair removal treatments.

It may be surprising that laser hair removal can prevent sensitive skin, however, skin irritation can actually result from shaving. Shaving can cause rashes and eczema. Many patients see significant reduction in their eczema symptoms after they complete their laser hair removal regimen.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

With state-of-the-art laser hair removal technology, dermatologists will remove unwanted hair from any part of the body and, more importantly, the treatment will work on any skin type. The laser will focus on hair follicles with a controlled amount of heat and then a Dynamic Cooling Device will be applied to ensure that the upper layers of the skin are protected.
Results can vary depending on the treated area, skin pigmentation, and the color and thickness of the skin. The laser hair removal process will take approximately five to six treatments and the side effects are minimal.

Men and Botox: What’s the Appeal?

Botox has become increasingly popular for treating undesirable forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other facial imperfections in men. Men opt for Botox treatment in order to reduce these signs of aging and maintain their youthful appearances. Furthermore, Botox specialists ensure that patients will look and feel natural and will retain normal movement in the treatment areas of the face.

Getting rid of facial imperfections and enhancing natural features can do wonders for a man’s image. Having a more defined eyebrow structure or a smooth, wrinkle-free face can feel great and give men the boost of confidence they’re looking for. At one time, it might have been considered embarrassing for men to receive cosmetic surgery, but that opinion has since changed, as both male and female patients have consistently demonstrated amazing results.

Crows feet, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin are all results of aging. Approximately one million women in the United States who are over thirty decide to receive wrinkle treatments as their skin ages.

Here are some of biggest aging complaints we hear:

Facial Wrinkles- 84 percent of women will notice wrinkles around their eyes and face before any other wrinkles. One of the best treatments for facial wrinkles is laser technology. Lasers can erase wrinkles, brown spots, unwanted hair, fade lines, and smooth rough skin. More specifically, lasers can improve the appearance of facial wrinkles by heating up collagen and creating a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to thicken.

Botox is another treatment that is available for facial wrinkles and the results last for up to four months. It’s one of the most popular ways to treat facial wrinkles, by both men and women.

Sun-Damaged Skin– When the skin has been exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time sun spots can develop. As we age, sun spots become more noticeable. The best treatment option for sun spots is IPL Laser technology.

With summer just around the corner, more and more women want to look beautiful and wrinkle free in their bikinis. Besides the at-home remedies for skin tightening like egg masks or exfoliating gels, there are non-invasive treatment options women can indulge in.

One of the most popular skin tightening methods available is laser treatment.

What exactly is laser skin tightening treatment?

Laser treatment is a non-invasive, skin tightening procedure that will heat up collagen, creating a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to thicken. When the collagen thickens, the skin will become tighter.

How to prepare for the treatment?

Sunbathing should be avoided for a period of time prior to the treatment. Also, all makeup needs to be removed before laser treatment.

What needs to be done after the treatment?

After the treatment we recommend that patients use SPF 30 sunscreen to protect the skin. Along with this it is always beneficial to live a healthy lifestyle with daily exercises and proper nutrition.

Are there any side effects?

There may be redness and swelling after the treatment. Any swelling should subside after only a few hours.
