Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation Machine Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation Machine IPL Hair Removal IPL laser hair removal is a very popular method of hair removal. An IPL laser uses “intense pulsed light” to gently and safely removes hair on the face, legs, back, and bikini/pubic areas. The pulses of light focus their heat on the hair follicles, destroying them without burning or damaging the skin. IPL laser hair removal is quick and veritably painless. Side effects are few, but may include redness or swelling of the treated area; this should disappear rapidly. Good candidates for IPL laser hair removal will have lighter skin and darker hair, since IPL targets pigment in the hair follicles. Many people have experienced permanent hair removal with this method; if hair does grow back, it is often sparse and finer in texture. Laser Hair removal. Laser hair removal is a gentle and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted hair from virtually any area of the body. Locate a laser hair removal clinic in your area and acquire information on the latest laser hair removal options for men and women by reading the sections below. Laser Hair Removal Procedure Laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the growth stage. Because hair grows in cycles, laser hair removal patients typically require a series of four to six sessions spaced approximately one month apart for maximum results. www.globalclinic.co During Laser Hair Removal Treatment Typically, the areas to be treated are shaved a few days prior to the laser hair removal treatment. On the day of the procedure, an anesthetic cream may be applied, although this step is not necessary. In addition, a cool laser tip, spray, or gel can be used to make the treatment feel more comfortable, depending on the type of laser that is to be used. Both the patient and the laser hair removal technician need to wear special glasses that are designed to filter out harmful light during the treatment. Based on a relatively quick but comprehensive evaluation, the laser hair removal technician will properly adjust the laser and may use the laser on various test spots. The laser is adjusted for power, size, and pulse frequency to optimize the treatment for the patient's comfort. The laser energy is then focused on the hair follicles using a hand-held laser. Most laser hair removal patients report little or no discomfort during the procedure, which ranges in length based on the size of the laser hair removal treatment areas. After Laser Hair Removal Treatment Although patients can return to normal activities immediately after laser hair removal treatment, some swelling and redness may occur. These byproducts of laser hair removal treatment typically go away within 24 hours. Ice, anti-inflammatory creams, or aloe gels or lotions may also be applied to the treated area to minimize discomfort and the risk of complications. Many patients have compared the ensuing discomfort to mild sunburn. The majority of patients are scheduled for subsequent treatments four to six weeks after the initial procedure. Treatments will continue until the growth of hair has been eliminated. After multiple laser hair removal sessions, the results of your treatment will be evident. Most patients enjoy an 80 to 90 percent reduction in hair growth. Although the laser hair removal results are permanent, some patients may need occasional touch-up sessions to treat individual hairs. www.globalclinic.co Laser Hair Removal Treatable Areas Laser treatment can be used for facial or body hair removal, the latter including the back, chest, and bikini areas. Generally, wherever the human body grows hair, there is a corresponding laser treatment to remove it. Laser Facial Hair Removal Many women have problems with unwanted facial hair, particularly in the areas of the eyebrow, upper lip, and chin. Men may want to remove hair on their faces as well, such as from between the eyebrows or the beard area. Laser facial hair removal is a new, improved hair removal option that is safe, fast, and effective for those who are interested in facial hair removal. Laser facial hair removal is long-lasting and non-invasive, and there is a treatment for every facial area. • Upper Lip The upper lip is a small area, and therefore takes less time for the laser to treat-usually just a few minutes of laser-time. Those who have fair skin and dark hair may be the best candidates for this laser facial hair removal procedure; the basic rule is that the hair should be darker than the skin in order to produce the best results. • Chin Some women have unwanted facial hair on the chin area. The chin, like the upper lip, is a smaller area that will usually take less time to treat, depending on the number of hairs that are to be removed. Some irritation and redness may occur afterwards, but in general, laser facial hair removal of this area is a fairly direct, uncomplicated, and common process. • Eyebrow Area Many women and men pluck their eyebrows daily or almost daily, and the tedium of this ritual may cause them to seek a more permanent solution. Laser facial hair removal of the eyebrow area is fast and helps to maintain a groomed, natural brow line for a longer period of time than tweezing. Laser hair removal is very effective for addressing the stray hairs between, above, and below the brows. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes, with only minor irritation afterwards. Because laser hair removal of the upper lip, chin, and eyebrows treats such a small area, laser hair removal prices are typically more reasonable. www.globalclinic.co Laser Body Hair Removal Laser body hair removal is usually a more involved procedure than laser facial hair removal due to the larger surface area. It may take several laser treatments for effective body hair removal. Not all hairs grow at the same rate; some hairs are in a resting cycle while others are growing. Therefore, more than one treatment-spaced approximately a month apart-is needed to ensure that the laser treats all body hair in its growth cycle. The length of time for an individual laser treatment varies. Generally, the larger the body surface area, the more time the laser hair removal treatment will take. • Bikini, Genital, and Pubic Area Laser hair removal of the bikini line or pubic area is a fairly quick process, taking 15 to 30 minutes per session. This area of the body may require four to eight laser treatments in order to become smooth and hairless. As a more naked or "bare" look becomes more popular, so does the demand for laser hair removal of the bikini area. • Chest Thick or excessive chest hair can be embarrassing for men; they may have unwanted hair peeking out of the neck of their shirt, or they may be uncomfortable removing their shirt in public. Tweezing or waxing can be impractical for this area, as the hair will grow back quickly and there will be stubble. Laser hair removal of the chest area may take four to six treatments to remove completely, each treatment lasting approximately one hour. Laser hair removal may not be permanent, but the chest will be smoother for a longer time than with any other hair removal method. • Back A back with excessive hair can be a major source of embarrassment for some men. Laser hair removal of the back is often the best answer for this difficult-to-reach area of the body. Instead of asking someone else to shave the area, for instance, laser hair removal treatments can remove back hair in a series of appointments. Each single treatment lasts approximately one hour, and treatment will be complete after five to eight sessions. • Legs Shaving is a popular method of hair removal for legs, but it must be repeated daily or near-daily. Waxing is another solution, but it also must be repeated frequently and can be painful. Laser hair removal of the legs is a more permanent solution. Each session takes approximately one hour for both legs; and four to eight sessions of laser hair removal will render your legs free of hair. • Underarms The underarms are areas that are often shaved daily. The monotony of daily shaving and the stubble that comes in shortly after can make women or men desire a more permanent hair www.globalclinic.co removal alternative. Laser hair removal is a good solution, and because the surface area is small, the laser treatments are completed in very little time. • Breast Men and women may have hair growth on their breasts that they would like to remove permanently. Laser body hair removal can address these hairs and may provide a permanent solution for this problem, eliminating embarrassment. • Arms Some people have thick hair growth on their arms that they find excessive. Shaving and waxing may be impractical for these areas, as the person will probably dislike the accompanying stubble. Laser hair removal can provide an answer when a person wishes to thin down the hair on their arms or to remove it entirely. Laser Hair Removal Benefits Laser hair removal is not only extremely effective in permanently reducing unwanted hair, but it is also extremely convenient. Smaller areas can be treated in 10 minutes or less, and patients are able to return to normal activities immediately. Additionally, most patients find that the many benefits far outweigh the minor risks associated with laser hair removal treatment. Permanent Results Patients enjoy a permanent reduction in unwanted hair and smooth, soft skin after laser hair removal treatments. While results can, in some instances, slowly fade and necessitate touch-up laser hair removal treatment sessions, they are typically necessary only once a year or less.

  • Puberty Changes in Boys
    PUBERTY CHANGES IN BOYS The changes of puberty in boys include growth of testes, growth of the penis, growth of pubic hair, voice change, and height spurt. An individual boy may begin his changes at a time different from his peers. TESTES DEVELOPMENT Growth of testes is usually the first change for boys. The scrotum lengthens and becomes a darker color. These changes begin between 9 ½ and 13 ½ years of age. PENIS DEVELOPMENT Growth of the penis occurs between ages 10 and 14. PUBIC HAIR Pubic hair and underarm hair appear between the ages of 10 and 14. At first the hair is fine and thin but becomes curly and coarse over time. GROWTH SPURT Increased height and change in body shape with broadening shoulders begin between the ages of 11 and 16. The voice also deepens. During this time, a boy may notice some temporary breast enlargement. This is completely normal, very common, and is no cause for concern. It will disappear with time. FACIAL AND CHEST HAIR Facial and chest hair appear at around age 17. The thickness of the beard is quite variable and depends on genes. Some men have little or no chest hair and very light beards, while others have dense growth. The amount of hair is unrelated to masculinity. ERECTIONS / EJACULATIONS Erections occur more often during puberty; sometimes a boy will have an erection for no apparent reason – this is common and normal. Ejaculation, the release of semen from the penis, begins during puberty. Like erections, ejaculation can occur for no obvious reason, especially during sleep.

Brianna Ballew Grand Valley State University Faculty Advisor: Donna Henderson-King Ph.D. – Psychology Department 499 Honors Senior Project April, 2016 Materialist Values and Body Hair Removal 2 Abstract Previous research indicates that materialistic women are more likely to want to alter their bodies (Henderson-King & Brooks, 2009). This study focuses specifically on the relationship between materialism and body hair removal. We collected information about the frequency of body hair removal, reasons for hair removal, and materialism (Richins & Dawson, 1992). Findings indicate that males and females do not significantly differ on materialist values. Correlational analyses reveal that for women, materialism is related to frequency of hair removal for several body sites; for men, however, materialism was related to body hair removal for only a single site.

  • Where Technique Meets Artistry Hair Transplantation Is a True Microscopic Procedure, Where Fractions of a Millimeter Can Make Subtle but Critical
    THE AESTHETICS OF HAIRLINE DESIGN: Where Technique Meets Artistry Hair transplantation is a true microscopic procedure, where fractions of a millimeter can make subtle but critical E differences in appearance. These procedures entail the placement of hundreds to thousands of grafts, and in no area is the proper placement, position, and pattern of these grafts more important than the hairline. Attention to aesthetic detail can make the difference between a merely very good result versus one that is excellent and natural appearing. C The Technique The transplanting of only microscopic follicular unit grafts has many aesthetic advantages which include: less damage to already existing surrounding hairs; greater hair density; faster healing; minimal to no scarring; and the ability to transplant larger numbers of grafts meaning the need for fewer procedures. The typical procedure Before and after a procedure of 2400 grafts Before and after a procedure of 2500 grafts performed by Dr. Epstein now entails the transplanting A of 2200 to 2400 grafts, with procedures of 3000 and more grafts now commonplace. continued on page 2 F For the patients of Jeffrey S.

  • Inheritance of Hypertrichosis Pinnae Auris-A Review of Literature Anatomy Section
    DOI: 10.7860/JCDR/2018/30757.11295 Review Article Inheritance of Hypertrichosis Pinnae Auris-A Review of Literature Anatomy Section NEHA BARYAH1, KEWAL KRISHAN2, SANJEEV PURI3, TANUJ KANCHAN4 ABSTRACT Hypertrichosis is an excessive growth of hair on a particular area of the body which is abnormal for the age, sex or race of an individual. The presence of the excessive coarse black hair on the auricle of the human ear is referred to as hypertrichosis pinnae auris or hairy ears. The condition is primarily restricted to older men and occasionally observed in females. According to the available literature, hypertrichosis pinnae auris is a Y-linked character. A number of studies have shown that the inheritance of the trait is from father to the son, any exceptions can be attributed to the lack of penetrance of the gene or crossing over from Y to X chromosome. A few researchers have suggested the probability of it being inherited in an autosomal manner. The mode of inheritance of the trait thus, remains controversial as to whether it is Y-linked or autosomal or perhaps both. The present article reviews various available studies on hypertrichosis pinnae auris in different populations of the world. It further deliberates on different aspects of the modes of inheritance of hypertrichosis pinnae auris and discusses the contradictions in its inheritance. The understanding of this area of research is significant for studying morphological variations and their genetic basis, sex differences among individuals and populations together with intergroup differences involving anthropology, anatomy, comparative morphology, personal identification and human genetics. Keywords: Biological anthropology, Hairy ears, Human biology, Human genetics, Pedigree analysis, Penetrance, Population variation, Y-linkage INTRODUCTION hairs) hairs on different areas of the pinna [6].
