For years, we’ve been told that stress can kill you and happy people live longer. But what if the opposite is true? UC-Riverside health researchers Friedman and Martin recently published a book, The Longevity Project, based on an eight-decade-long Stanford University study of 1,500 Californians. They found surprising lessons about who lives a long, healthy life and why. The results may surprise you! Persistent folks live longer, some stress is actually good for you and marriage is not always the magic ticket to a long life, especially if you are a woman. Below are a few recommendations to increase your chances of a long life from the longevity study:

The outside of your skin gets a lot of abuse no matter how much you try and take care of it. Pollution, sun, and time all work against your skin’s natural beauty. As a result, your skin becomes tougher and produces less collagen, your skin’s natural elasticity. Laser Skin & Wellness offers a laser procedure that directs pulsating beams of light onto irregular skin in short bursts. These lasers carefully and precisely remove layers of damaged skin leaving new smooth skin in its place. The new skin will produce its own collagen easier than the older tougher skin resulting in more beautiful and smoother skin.

You have fine lines around your eyes, mouth, and forehead. You are an ideal client for Laser Skin Resurfacing. This procedure can be done to the entire face but if you just have a few areas that are making you appear aged, you can treat only these areas. Some areas around the mouth and forehead will need more than one treatment since those lines are generally deeper. Lines around the eyes are usually quite fine and recovery time will also be fairly short. It will help diminish lines on your forehead even more than a facelift. If you have had a face lift in the past and still have fine lines and wrinkles, you are still a good candidate for this procedure. Give us a call at (561) 641-9490 to schedule a consultation and see what can be done for you!

“Many people state that liposuction and liposculpting is identical, it involves removal of fat in the body and is just different names for the similar technique.

This isn’t actually true, though both surgical procedures involve elimination of fat, the strategy used and exactly how the procedure is done is the reason why them different.
Liposuction or simply Lipo is a cosmetic surgery that involves fat removal assisted by suction. This technique has existed for nearly four decades now.

Whether you are just getting back into the dating world after a long hiatus, or you want to relight the flame you have with a longtime spouse, there are a few things to keep in mind. Dating in our modern world means you are under the microscope more than ever before. So, it’s important that you freshen up and get ready to have a good time. Here are a few ways to look your best, and feel amazing.

Getting in shape

When you’re thinking about those date nights in your future, you should also be thinking about getting in the best shape possible. This isn’t just about looking your best, but it’s about feeling your best too. When you enlist the specialists at Laser Skin & Wellness for your weight loss program, you’ll receive individualized nutrition counseling.

Including a professional in your weight-loss planswill help you achieve your diet goals with more consistent results than if you went it alone. You will have the knowledge and accountability you need to move in the right direction, and you can skip the some of those hurdles we face when we don’t have help. The next step after you get to your healthy weight, is finding that perfect black dress for your date!

Enhancing your look

As you’re achieving your weight loss goals, there may be other places on your body that you start to notice you want to improve. Laser Skin & Wellness can help with that. If you decide that you want to have more youthful-looking facial skin, then you can ask about options such as Botox®, or fillers such as Juvederm™.

These work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles that develop naturally over time from sun exposure and pollutants in the air. Talk with a specialist about the overall goals you want to achieve in your makeover, and they can guide you towards the right procedures for you.

Confidence builders

When you go out on that date, you want to be as confident as possible, and it’s not easy to do that without looking and feeling your absolute best. Ask us about laser vein therapy and laser hair removal. Laser vein therapy can lessen the look of spider veins that can occur in places like our legs. There’s no reason to choose an outfit, so it covers up your veins.

Laser hair removal will get rid of those pesky unwanted hairs. When you pluck, wax, or tweeze before a date, you’ll find that you are left with red, puffy spots that don’t always go away before you get picked up. If you nick yourself shaving, then you’ll have to bring out the bandages, and this can be an unnecessary distraction.

If you’re ready feel great before you go out on that next date, then call Laser Skin & Wellness at 561-641-9490 for your FREE consultation. We proudly service the Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens, and we always look forward to hearing from you!

I was confronted with a very interesting situation recently, during a laser hair removal consultation. Our client history asks the patient about any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) products they may be using. Having this information is important, because there are some products that can be a contraindication to certain procedures, including laser hair removal.

It is often said, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” What does this mean? While physical traits often play a role in beauty, what makes a woman truly attractive is based largely on confidence, personality, charisma, a healthy lifestyle and a solid beauty routine.

During his 25-year career as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert M. Tornambe has worked with thousands of women and spent countless hours identifying his patient’s natural good looks and contemplating the nature of beauty. This focus led Dr. Tornambe to devise “The Beauty Quotient Formula,” which is a useful way to look at beauty. This quotient is made up of three distinct categories: Physical Health, Psychological Health and Personal Appearance:

Physical Health – consists of physical characteristics that define a woman’s beauty. A woman’s face or body can be structurally imperfect, but still exquisite.

Psychological Health – involves one’s personality, intelligence, sensitivity and warmth, sense of humor, attitude and overall level of confidence.

Personal Appearance – includes one’s beauty routine. This involves habits regarding skin-care regimen, hair and makeup routines, wardrobe, posture and style.

Additional information on “The Beauty Quotient Formula” is included in this Huffington Post article.

A pimple from time to time is one thing, but when the blemishes and zits occur frequently, then you have the potential to develop acne. For most of us that suffer from acne, it can be more than an annoyance. It can distract from our self-confidence and cause insecurities about the health of our skin. Severe cases may result in scarring and even cause pain to the infected areas. Here we’ll look at what causes acne and the methods to prevent it.

What causes acne?

In simple terms, a pimple occurs when dead skin cells, oils, and other obstacles clog the pores. When these particles get trapped in the pore, bacteria develops, and a zit forms. However, even if you keep your face on a regular cleaning routine, there are still many elements you need to factor in to prevent acne. And don’t forget, acne is not just subject to the face and neck. It can happen all over the body. Here are a few things that cause acne and a few ways to prevent it.

Hormones

When a person goes through hormonal changes, their face will produce more oil that contributes to zits forming. Some of us will only experience this one time in our lives such as pregnancy while others will have multiple hormonal changes and never see the acne completely subside.

Stress

Stress can cause your hormones to act out and change. If you want to prevent acne, have a plan to combat those pressures that happen in daily life. Fitting twenty minutes of exercise or meditation in your day is a great way to beat stress.

Lifestyle

While there are some myths as to whether certain foods such as chocolate result in acne, it’s best to be mindful of what you eat and your lifestyle when preventing blemishes. Getting greasy or oiling foods on your skin will work against it. Also, be sure you change pillowcases out on a regular basis, keep your cell phone clean, and keep hand sanitizer on you to ensure that your face is always touching and being handled by a clean surface.

Treatment

To help prevent and treat acne, you can get a chemical peel that works to remove the dead skin cell build up. It gets the pimples under control and refreshes your skin. When the acne has caused damage and scarring to the skin, treatments such as MD Duality will help heal the troubled spots. When used properly and consistently, you’ll love the results you see in the mirror.

If you suffer from acne, give Laser Skin & Wellness a call at 561-641-9490. We have solutions that will help you regain your confidence and get back to the life you love. We take the time to care for your skin on every level from lifestyle to treatments. Our location in Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens are excited to provide you with beautiful skin and a fantastic experience.

Eat Healthier for Glowing Skin

After you’ve had laser rejuvenation or laser resurfacing treatments, your skin care practitioner will tell you how important it is to take care of your newly treated skin. It’s essential that you are careful with your skin after any skin treatment to ensure you get good results, and to ensure your skin stays looking as good as it does after your treatment for as long as possible.

The most important thing you can do is keep your skin hydrated. You can do this by splashing your skin with water regularly, and by regularly applying a safe moisturizing skin ointment: moisture at this point is key. It’s also important to keep your skin out of the sun and protect the newly revealed skin from sun damage: after all, you don’t want to undo the good work of your treatments by burning or damaging your new skin.

When you do go out in the sun, therefore, an SPF 60 or higher sunscreen is a new essential for your handbag. Apply it regularly to “protect your investment” and insure long term results for your skin.

Finally, did you know that your diet can have a massively important effect on the quality and condition of your skin and that changing your diet following treatments can help you to keep your skin looking young, smooth and healthy?

This is a less well-known way of protecting your skin following your treatment, and will take a longer term commitment than simply choosing to apply moisturizer, but the effects that changing your diet can have on your skin are undeniable, especially when combined with the effects of a good laser rejuvenation treatment.

Here are a list of foods that will help with the appearance and general well-being of your skin:

Seaweed: Seaweed is the latest super food that everyone’s talking about, and its nutritional properties are wide and varied. Incorporating seaweed into your diet will have a host of positive benefits for your health. It’s packed full of the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and contains essential vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin C.

Seaweed is also a good source of Omega 3 which is excellent for the skin in a number of ways. Omega 3 can help improve skin conditions such as acne and can also reduce inflammation and moisturize dry skin. Packing your diet full of seaweed following your laser treatment is one of the best diet changes you can make, as it will help moisturize your skin from the inside and keep you looking fresh and rejuvenated for as long as possible.

Berries: Berries such as blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries are great for your skin because of the high quantity of antioxidants they contain. Plums also contain high numbers of antioxidants, so they’re also a great fruit to eat to improve your skin quality.

In a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the four fruits mentioned above (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and plums) are the foods with the highest total antioxidant capacity of any other food you can eat. Antioxidants are proven to have great benefits for promoting youthful and healthy skin. Start eating berries every day and you’ll soon see positive effects on your skin.

Green Tea: Much has been written about the various health benefits of drinking green tea: it is considered by some to be the ultimate super food. Certainly it’s skin boosting benefits are undeniable. Green tea will help to prevent acne and help prevent the signs of premature aging too.

Much like the super fruits mentioned above, green tea has a high antioxidant content, which means it’s great for the skin. It’s also good for the waistline and has cancer-reducing properties too! If you apply the green tea to your skin as well as drinking it, studies have shown that topical green tea application will help reduce the negative effects of UV exposure to the skin.

Simply replace your daily sodas or coffees (which are very bad for the skin) with a glass of green tea instead and, in combination with your treatment, your skin will see dramatic and incredible results before you know it!
