The effectiveness and safety of laser hair removal largely depend on the operator as well as the equipment.

Further, our physician is the Cutera trainer in the region which places our patients in even safer hands. Please see www.cutera.com for more details.

Special 3: Cutera Pearl – Let your skin look refreshed like a Pearl….

Patients today are seeking a more aggressive treatment for facial lines and texture without the lengthy downtime of traditional ablative procedures. Cutera’s introduction of Pearl™ with proprietary YSGG technology, provides this optimal balance between cosmetic benefit and patient downtime.

During treatment, a portion of the epidermis is removed. There is simultaneous thermal injury to all or part of the remaining epidermis. This creates a natural protective dressing on the skin to minimize downtime during the restorative process.

I’ve found this interesting article and thought it would also fit on our blog as we are focusing on “healthy aging”. The article was first posted on the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Researchers at Brigham Young University and Harvard School of Public Health have released a study suggesting that a reduction in air pollutants in 51 U.S. cities between 1980 and 2000 has added an average of five months to life expectancy. Moreover, residents in cities that made the most significant improvements in air quality, such as Pittsburgh, PA, can expect to live almost 10 months longer.

The research compared changes in air pollution from 1980 to 2000 with residents’ life expectancies during those years. Other factors that can affect average life expectancy, such as changes in population, income, education and cigarette smoking, were taken into account. After adjusting for these and other factors, the researchers determined that for every microgram per cubic meter decrease in fine-particulate air pollution, life expectancies rose by more than seven months. “There is an important positive message here that the efforts to reduce particulate air pollution concentrations in the United States over the past 20 years have led to substantial and measurable improvements in life expectancy,” says study co-author Douglas Dockery, Chair, Department of Environmental Health at Harvard School of Public Health.

It is widely accepted that fine-particulate air pollution is known to contribute to cardiovascular and lung disease. The particulate matter is inhaled much like a gas and is believed to increase blood pressure, the risk of heart attack and the possibility of a heart disease-related death.

We are linked with glo spa & wellness who carries the Argan Oil so I thought it is interesting that the Argan Oil has been mentioned as a top industry trend for spa’s in 2009. glo spa & wellness is using Argan Oil from Kaeline.

As mentioned by Pierce Mattie in Beauty Forecast:
In 2009 the focus will no longer just being about who is green or all natural, but about specific ingredients and their benefits. Pierce Mattie is known for forecasting trends in the beauty industry, so without missing a beat, we’ve named the top 10 beauty ingredients that consumers will hear more about in 2009.

Argan Oil: This incredible skin care miracle, known for being one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E with 80% essential fatty acids, has been a beauty secret of Moroccan women for centuries. It can be dually used on skin and in hair for its high level of antioxidants and ability to replenish hair and skin’s natural moisture.”“

We’ll be having our first glominerals workshop in 2009 on the 2nd of February from 7pm onwards. Location is Cutis Medical Laser Clinics at 81 Club Street. Please call 6327 9700 to make your reservation as early as possible as places are very limited.

glominerals is an industry-leading line of mineral makeup, with the perfect combination of antioxidant protection and fashion-forward color blends, continually mirroring the season’s hottest trends and creating the most striking looks for women who want the best for their skin.

Fatimah, make up artist to the stars  will demonstrate her tips and tricks to make you look as glamorous as her well known clients. I will will give an overview on why mineral make up is the healthier choice compared to traditional make up.

Hope to see you on the 2nd.

Dr. Sylvia
