Keeping your skin fresh and beautiful during hot summer months can be quite a challenge. Men and women often come into the Your Laser Skin Care offices asking for advice on how to keep their skin healthy over summer.

Here are skin care tips for this summer:

Blocking the Sun:
Wrinkles, coarse skin, sun spots. These are just a few of the ways skin can become damaged if it is not protected from hazardous sun exposure. UV rays can cause photo-aging, inflammation and many other skin problems. Skin can easily be protected by the use of sunscreen and it should be applied thirty minutes before going outside. If it’s too late and the sun has already done the damage, apply cooling balms.

Getting rid of Blemishes:
The summer months are known for causing pimples because people can develop extra oils on their face from the heat. The best way to ensure more blemishes than normal don’t come up is by using oil free makeup and glycolic acid cleansers.

Healthy Diet:
One of the best ways to make sure your skin is healthy is by having a healthy diet routine. A lot of water, fruits and green vegetables will do the skin good. If a healthy diet routine is followed, you will be getting all the minerals, fibers, antioxidants, and vitamins you need, all of which will do wonders for your skin.

Botox is a popular, FDA approved treatment most commonly used to fade away wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox works by injecting a purified protein into the wrinkle, which will then paralyze the muscle causing it to stop contracting for about four months. It is minimally invasive, has no downtime and is a relatively fast treatment method.

What many people do not know, is that Botox can treat more than just wrinkles. Botox has also been shown to treat migraines, asthma and even depression.

Botox for Depression
Feeling sad? Having difficulty concentrating? Recent studies have shown that Botox can help with these depression symptoms. Patients with major depression were given Botox injections into the muscles of their foreheads. After only six weeks of treatment, patients’ signs of depression improved significantly.

Botox for Migraines
Sensitivity to light, throbbing sensations, severe pain and even sometimes nausea are common symptoms of chronic migraines. Patients who suffer from chronic migraines know that they can affect your quality of life. Patients normally need to be in a quiet, dark room until the migraine goes away. Studies have shown that migraines can be treated with a simple Botox injection and it is now FDA approved for treatment of chronic migraines.

Botox for Asthma
Almost 19 million people in the US carry a diagnosis of asthma. Recent study was conducted on a group of asthma patients and it showed that patients had a much easier time breathing when their vocal chords were treated with a Botox injection.

These studies have confirmed that Botox is more than just a cosmetic treatment for wrinkles; it can help improve, or even eliminate symptoms of diseases that are affecting millions of people.

Spider veins and varicose veins affect more than fifty percent of adults, but are more commonly found in women.

Spider veins are bluish, red in color and often look like cords. They can be caused by blood that is collecting because of a break in the vein. Varicose veins are large and raised, due to swollen blood vessels. Both types of veins are sometimes described as looking like tree branches.

There can be many factors that increase the chances of developing spider or varicose veins.
● Age- Veins have a higher chance of becoming damaged with age.
● Family History and Genetic Predisposition– If family members have varicose veins, it is more likely that varicose veins will occur.
● Pregnancy- One of the most common reasons people develop varicose veins is because of pregnancy. This happens because there is much more blood in the body and hormonal changes can cause varicose veins to form as well.
● Weight- Being overweight or sedentary lifestyle can cause varicose veins formation.

There are various preventative measures that can be taken to decrease the chances of developing spider or varicose veins. Some of the most effective measures are sitting with the legs uncrossed or avoiding sitting for prolong periods of time. Shoes without heels and compression stockings are one of the few other ways to prevent varicose veins from forming.

In order to remove spider and varicose veins, there are several treatments available. One of the treatment methods is laser vein therapy. The FDA approved YAG laser is one of the most acknowledged ways of treating unwanted varicose veins. The laser focuses a beam of high-intensity light, penetrating the skin. By doing this, a controlled amount of heat is directed to the blood vessels.

Laser vein therapy with the YAG laser is one of the most sought after treatments on the market because of its advanced cooling system. This significantly decreases the discomfort during the procedure.
Laser vein therapy only requires a few short visits and the side effects are minimal.

As a medical director of Your Laser Skin Care Los Angeles I have seen Hollywood skin care techniques evolve over time. Most recently, there has been talk surrounding how celebrities get ready for award shows and fashion week. Celebrities often achieve very finished, immaculate looks by spending a considerable amount of time on their skin.

Botox, fillers, laser hair removal and peels are among some of the most popular treatments celebrities have done before awards shows.

Your Laser Skin Care provides patients who are looking to perfect their look with the option to have botox, fillers and laser hair removal done. All of these procedures are very common, especially among celebrities. To give more detail on these procedures below is a list of each treatment offered:

● Botox- Botox is prominent right now with celebrities because it helps with unwanted wrinkles and aging. A few drops of botox are injected with a small needle into the muscle that has a wrinkle. When botox is injected, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching the muscle.Gwyneth Paltrow, Sharon Osbourne, Jennie Garth and Courtney Cox have all used botox.
● Laser Hair Removal- Laser hair removal is another treatment that celebrities and anyone looking to get rid of excess hair on their face, arms, legs or underarms can receive. The laser hair removal system works by focusing a gentle, pulsating beam of high-intensity light in the form of a laser on the hair follicle of the unwanted hair.
● Fillers– Fillers help plump the lips giving patients more voluptuous lips. They are also used to remove facial wrinkles.

Spring is a time to enjoy the perfect weather with loved ones, relax and show off the body you have been perfecting in the gym. This satisfaction is not as favorable when hairs and bumps are showing on the sides of your bikini line from a bad shave or old Brazilian wax. There is no better way to get rid of these unwanted hairs than with laser hair removal.

Not only does laser hair removal help boost confidence, it is safe, permanent, cost effective and has been proven to show results.

How does Laser Hair removal work?

A concentrated light beam penetrates specific parts of the skin and hair follicles, when it is absorbed by the pigments in the follicles it damages the root of the hair and prevents growth. There are no long-term, negative effects as long as the removal is done by a licensed professional.

Who receives Laser Hair Removal?

Anyone who is looking to get rid of unwanted hair is a good candidate to have laser hair removal done. In fact, many celebrities are opting for this procedure as well. Victoria Beckham recently spoke to Allure about how Eva Longoria recommended her to get the procedure done and since has never looked back. Beckham stated, “ You can go for touch-ups if you do see little hairs appearing but I’ve been very lucky and I haven’t had to”.

Is Laser Hair Removal expensive?

The cost of of this procedure can seem expensive at first but when the facts are put into perspective it is actually the most cost effective way to get rid of unwanted hairs. Other forms of hair removal take regular visits which can end up costing more at the end of the year than it would cost to get laser hair removal done.

Most women’s daily routine involves making their lashes darker, longer and fuller. Eyelash curlers, glue on lashes and volumizing mascaras are expensive, temporary and even sometimes painful and damaging. Latisse allows women to skip the drama of volumizing and darkening their lashes every morning.

Many would agree that eyelashes are a sign of femininity and that the lush and glamour lashes can bring to a female is undeniably irresistible. Unfortunately, most women are not born with long, dark lashes; they have to achieve this by using tools that can actually be extremely damaging. In fact, repetitive use of eyelash extension tools, like an eyelash curler, can be doing the opposite effect and breaking eyelashes or even cause women to lose their eyelashes all together.

Latisse, on the other hand, is a product that allows women to enjoy the allure of longer, darker, fuller eyelashes in less than eight weeks. Also, it is the first and only FDA approved eyelash growth product available and has made headlines with the effectiveness of the product.

If you are ready to retire aged eyelash enhancing tools for a product that is proven to work safely and productively use the trusted Latisse brand.
