Healthy Drink #6. Tomato Juice

The next drink in line for the leadership is unsalted tomato juice. It protects us against a number of cancer types. It contains a large concentration of lycopene, even more than the fruits contain themselves.

Lycopene is associated with lowered cancer risk of the following organs: mouth cavity, lungs, stomach, liver, mammary glands, uterine neck, colon and rectum. In addition, lycopene protects the heart from the action of the free radicals, and hence it reduces the risk of the cardiovascular diseases

Healthy Drink #7. Cranberry Juice

It is hard to overestimate the value of the cranberry juice. It helps prevent the gum diseases and fight the urinary tract infections. The juices sold in stores often contain sugar in them.

Healthy Drink #8. Orange Juice

Orange juice found itself in the eighth place. The juice has vitamin C, which boosts the immunity, protects from various diseases, such as cataract, cancer etc.

In addition, the orange juice is a great source of the folic acid, which is very important for the prevention of the fetal development defects.

Healthy Drink #1. Green Tea

Green tea was named to be the leader. It is valued for the flavonoids it contains, which help reduce the risk of osteoporosis, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

In addition green tea is valued for the polyphenols and antioxidants which protect the cells from the damages and neutralise the free radicals.

Healthy Drink #2. Mint Tea

The second place went to the mint tea. It can fight an upset stomach, helps relieve colics, assists digestion by helping the food go through the gastrointestinal tract.

Healthy Drink #3. 1% Fat Milk

Applicant number three was the 1% fat milk. It contains complex carbohydrates, proteins and a little bit of fat, thus the product is digested slowly and you do not feel hunger longer.

Thanks to it the blood sugar stays stable. Milk also contains calcium and vitamin D. Calcium assists cells at burning fat, facilitating this way normal rate of weight loss.

Healthy Drink #4. Soy Milk

Next drink was the soy milk. Regular consumption of this substance helps reduce the risk of developing the cardiovascular diseases.

The dietary fibers and proteins found in the soy milk lower the level of “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides. You can not, however, completely replace the cow’s milk with the soy milk since then your body will not receive calcium and vitamin A and D.

Healthy Drink #5. Hot Chocolate

The next drink is particularly loved by children. It is the hot chocolate or cocoa. The valued properties of those drinks lie in the fact that they lighten the mood and prevent the development of the cardiovascular diseases.

In addition, cacao contains a lot of polyphenols which protect the cells from the action of the free radicals. Consumption of hot chocolate enhances production of the hormone serotonin (low levels of it have bad effect on one’s mood).

However, unpasteurized honey should not be taken by pregnant women. Also, make sure you only buy cold-pressed honey because heated honey contains additives, so it may not be able to retain its healing properties.

This week is Honey Week ^_^

Every morning, or just about every morning, the first thing I do after waking up and using the bathroom (I guess you don’t need to know that part) is to make a honey + water drink. This may sound like an old wives tale or something your grandmother might have told you, but there is some serious truth behind the benefits of such a practice…I’m sure you’ll be surprised once you finish reading the information below.

First, how do you make the drink?
Simply add a teaspoon (Do Not Use Metal Spoon-Aluminium metal is harmful in acidic medium. it leaks and so, u will eat a percentage of Aluminium . That has a rule in causing Alzheimer! So never make your food acidic when u are using aluminium containers.) to a glass of natural mineral water.

Did you know that honey has been shown to be far superior to conventional antibiotics in treating infections and without the negative side effects associated with antibiotic use.
It is amazing that the bacteria-killing properties of honey increase two-fold when diluted with water. Maybe that explains why newly born bees are nourished with diluted honey.
Also, when honey is mixed with water, a chemical reaction takes place resulting in the creation of hydrogen peroxide, the most powerful natural antibiotic. Unlike the hydrogen peroxide purchased in the pharmacy, the one produced by the above mixture is natural and therefore protects itself from being associated with conventional man-made antibiotics and their negative effects.

It only takes approximately 7 minutes for the honey + water mixture to diffuse into the bloodstream – ready to fight the bad stuff!

Apparently Mr. Hippocrates (430BC approx.) used two different honey mixtures, sometimes mixing the honey with vinegar and sometimes with water. He found that the honey water solution was far superior in treating wounds, though he probably did not know why.

Remember remember, use organic, unpasteurised (unpasteruized for my American readers ) and unfiltered honey – and to really be picky: try to source honey of locality, i.e. produced near to where you live (though this is not essential, it is very beneficial!)

So I guess you’ll be having a honey water beverage tomorrow morning?

Professional Treatments Body Polish

After a full-body polish, your skin will look fresh and glowing, and you'll feel energized, pampered, and refreshed. If you're looking for a professional exfoliation session, try a body polish. Here's more about this spa treatment.

Exfoliating at home is effective, but sometimes you want to indulge in a professional treatment. In the same way a professional facial can leave your face glowing and fresh, a professional exfoliating treatment, or body polish, can leave your whole body smooth, soft, and vibrant. Like at-home exfoliation, a body polish removes the surface layer of dead cells that can make your skin look dull or rough. The polish exposes the fresh, healthy skin below. It can also help energize you and stimulate your circulation.

If you’re ready to give body polish a try, here’s what you need to know.

During the body polish. Spas offer body polishes featuring many types of scrubs. Sand, salt, sugar, and are popular choices. These are blended with oil or cream and may have an added scent, so your therapist might offer you a choice of aromas. She will typically begin by having you lie facedown and will rub the scrub on your back, the backs of your arms and legs, (

A body polish won’t feel like a massage, though sometimes the two treatments are combined in one spa session, usually with the scrub first and then the massage

.)

After the body polish. Following your exfoliation session, the scrub can be removed from your skin by a few methods. You might shower off to rinse it away. If your body polish includes a Vichy shower, the therapist will rinse you off on the table. Or the therapist may wipe off the scrub with warm, wet towels. She will then finish by applying a moisturizer or oil to help keep your freshly polished skin hydrated. The whole treatment usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes.

While body polishes are appropriate for just about anyone, they are not recommended if you have cancer, a fever, a sunburn, or a skin condition that could be aggravated by the vigorous scrub. Be sure to tell your therapist if you think you might be allergic to a scrub’s ingredients.

Treat yourself to a body polish — it can leave you glowing on the outside and energized on the inside.

Derma Roller Acne Scar

Q. What is a Derma Roller?

The Derma Roller (also called skin rollers, microneedle rollers, and dermarollers) is a small hand-held rolling device which has micro surgical steel needles that reach the inner surface of your skin to promote skin repair from the inside out. It stimulates elastin and collagen production in the skin without causing any damage.

Q. Do Derma Rollers Really Work?

Derma Rollers are supported by clinical studies to be effective in non-surgical and non-ablative treatment for a variety of skin conditions. These include aging, (wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks), scarring (acne and breast augmentation), as well as cellulite and hyperpigmentation.

Studies have also shown that derma rollers are oftentimes a better treatment than dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. They are proven to be just effective in their ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Regular use ofderma roller can thicken skin, smooth scars of all sizes, and erase wrinkles.

Acne Scar Treatment and Acne Scar Removal

You get rid of the acne, now what about those scars that are left behind?

The effects are both physical and emotional, and are difficult to avoid if you’re one of the unfortunate individuals prone to scarring.

Scars are formed because of tissue loss, and it’s the lack of collagen in the skin which results in the scar being visible.

Radio Derm RF Slimming

It generates heating by projecting high frequency into deep cell of skin

It is called diathermy(deep heating) which is the system to provide the treatment by generating the heat from inside the human body.

-. Ultra lifting function

-. Wrinkle treatement

-. Maga toning treatment

FAT & CELLULITE REDUCTION

Tripolar Slimming systemTripolar for skin tightening and cellulite reduction uses two applications in one system. This means you can have skin tightening and cellulite reduction all in one treatment:

Skin tightening

• Face
• Neck & jowls
• Arms/batwings

Cellulite Reduction

• Abdomen/obliques (love handles)
• Buttocks
• Thighs - inner and outer

How does Tripolar RF technology work?

This non-invasive and pain free technology uses one head to deliver RF energy to the skin - combining the effects of uni-polar and bi-polar technologies selectively heating fat cells in the skin tissues.

Tripolar uses one head to simultaneously heat deep and shallow tissue layers all the while protecting the surface skin. Now making it easier and faster than ever to smooth, tighten and regenerate the skins collagen without injections, surgery or downtime.

As our skin matures and is continuously subjected to environmental effects, its connective tissue begins to break down, causing wrinkles and other signs of ageing develop.

The Tripolar RF energy penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue and the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) where the Collagen fibers are embedded. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibers, and at the same time increases the metabolism of the Fibroblasts thereby accelerating the production of new Collagen and Elastin fibers.

The contraction of Collagen fibers and the regeneration of the Collagen and Elastin deposits, tighten the skin layers creating smoother, healthier and younger looking skin.

Body Sculpting & Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is a change in the fat stored under the skin, appearing as dimples or ripples in the skin. It affects most women. In fact studies have shown that about 80% of women over the age of 18 have some degree of cellulite. Yes, even thin women!

Dimpled or rippling skin commonly referred to as cottage cheese is mostly found on thighs, buttocks and stomach. Focal heating of the fat cells in these specific areas increases the rate at which liquid fat is released from the heated tissue.

Tripolar RF technology, effectively treats cellulite at the root of the problem. Tripolar's unique configuration selectively heats the fat cells under the skin without adversely affecting the surrounding tissues, wherein increasing metabolism and secretion of liquid fat. At the same time, simultaneously heating deep and superficial layers of fat, doing so by combining the dual effects of uni-polar RF and bi-polar RF in one applicator.

Cellulite condition – Accumulation of a large number of enlarged fat cells in the Hypodermis. The accumulated fat presses the skin creating the “cottage cheese skin” effect. Tripolar RF Technology selectively increases the temperature of fat cells doing so simultaneously in the deep and superficial layers of fat. This increases metabolism and the release of liquid fat from the fat cells. After treatment and release of liquid fat, the fat cells shrink in size and skin is restored closer to original form, reducing or eliminating the cellulite appearance. An alternative solution for those not able to have Smartlipo or Vaser Lipo For fat reduction Smartlipo and Vaser Lipo are the gold standards, being performed by EF MediSpa's cosmetic surgeons. These are medical procedures which may not be indicated for all clients. With this in mind EF MediSpa offers Tripolar next generation technology as a non-invasive alternative. Tripolar not only heats the fat cells under the skin without adversely affecting the surrounding tissues, it also increases the metabolism and secretion of fat. Tripolar is clinically proven on all skin types to regenerate collagen, tighten and tone the skin and improve overall skin laxity. How many treatments are needed? A course of 8–12 treatments with one treatment per week is recommended depending on the area of the body being treated. Each treatment lasts between 30-60 minutes per area. It is possible to treat more than one area per session. After the initial treatment course, to ensure long lasting results, it is recommended that a maintenance programme is undertaken. Your EF MediSpa consultant will be able to advise you on the maintenance programme towards the end of your course of treatments.

Bumpy Shave???

The next time you shave your legs and notice dryness and bumps after, it could be caused by the irritation you are experiencing from the shaving foam or soap that you are using to aid the shave. If you have sensitive skin, these formulas may be too drying for you. If that's the case, switch to something milder like a gentle facial cleanser or a non-foaming shaving cream. Also, look for razors with more than two blades as they give a closer and smoother shave.

HOT TIP: Hair conditioner makes a good shaving cream!

Skin Whitening

Controlled whitening is a special treatment for the controlled lightening of age spots, pigmentation spots, pregnancy spots, freckles and etc.

MICRODERMABRASION is used to stimulate cell metabolism and remove hyperkeratosis. The skin produces new and lighter cells and pigmentation problem reduces with each treatment. Active agents are used to support this process. Many sessions are required for visible and good result.

Mole Removal

At times some of the moles need to be removed. The reason may be cosmetic, or a suspicion that a particular mole may be a skin cancer. Other than taking a wider margin around the mole in cases of suspected skin cancer the procedure is essentially the same.

PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

A local anesthetic agent is injected around the mole and the lesion (mole ) is surgically removed. The wound is then closed with sutures. It is advisable to send the specimen (mole) for pathological examination to know the exact nature of the lesion. Sometimes, in suspected skin cancers, if the removal is incomplete, the procedure may have to be repeated for the complete removal.

SIDE EFFECTS:

The undesirable side effects are resultant scarring, possibility of recurrence, and sometimes keloid (raised, thick scar) formation. Though it is unpredictable that how a particular scar will heal, most of the scars heal well, without leaving a noticeable mark. Most of these procedures are done under local anesthesia in an office setting, requiring practically no time of work. Pain is also a very slight requiring mild analgesics.

Chemical Peeling

What is Chemical Peeling?

Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes it to separate, peel off,and allows new skin to regenerate. The new skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin,and may also be more ever in color.

What can a chemical peel do?

• chemical peeling is used to treat fine lines,especially under the eyes and around the mouth, wrinkles caused by sun damage,aging,and hereditary factors can be reduced or even eliminated with this procedure. However,sags,bulges,and more severe wrinkles don’t respond to peeling and may require other kinds of cosmetic surgical procedures.
• Mild scarring and certain types of acne may also be treated with chemical peels.
• Pigmentation of the skin in the form of sun spots,age spots,liver spots,freckles,blotchiness due to taking birth control pills,and skin that is dull in texture and color may be improved with chemical peeling.
• Areas of sun-damaged skin and scaling patches may improve after chemical peeling as well.

How are chemical peels performed?

The procedure may be performed on the face,neck,chest,hands,arms,and legs. Superficial,medium,or deep chemical peels may be used to improve damaged skin. As a rule,the deeper the peel,the longer the recovery time. The beauty therapist will recommended the best peel for your skin problems.

Prior to treatment,instructions may include stopping certain medications and preparing the skin with preconditioning cream.

During the procedure,most patients experience a warm to hot sensation that may about five to ten minutes,followed by a stinging sensation. A deeper peel may be more painful and require medication during or after the procedure.

What should be expected after treatment?

Depending upon the type of peel,there may be a mild to severe sun burning sensation. Superficial peeling usually involves redness,followed by scaling that lasts three to five days.

Medium-depth and deep peeling can sometimes result in swelling and blisters that may break,crust,turn brown,and peel off over a period of 7 to 14 days or longer.

Its is important to avoid overexposure to the sun immediately after a chemical peel since the new skin is fragile and more susceptible to injury. The Beauty Therapist will prescribe appropriate follow-up care to help the skin heal.

What are the possible complications?

In certain skin types,there is a risk of developing a temporary color change. Birth control pills,pregnancy,or a family history of brownish discoloration on the face may increase the possibility of developing abnormal pigmentation. Persistent redness may also occur and can last for month.

What is the limitations of chemical peels?

Chemical peels can not remove loose or sagging skin since they cannot eliminate the gravitational forces with produce the loose skin. A facelift,brow lift,laser/light-based skin rejuvenation,or other procedures may be required.

Chemical peeling does not remove deep scars. Dermabrasion,laser resurfacing or non-ablative laser therapy,punch grafting,punch elevation,scar excision,or soft tissue fillers may be much more effective for scars and should be discussed with your cosmetic surgeon.

While chemical peels can not change pore size or remove broken blood vessels on the face,the procedure may improve the appearance of this conditions.

MICRODERMABRASION

Controlled MICRODERMABRASION with the skin peeler is a modern technique for treating the skin gentle and successfully. The range of applications is very broad because the skin peeler can quickly and safely repair many different problems related to the biological regeneration of the skin.

MICRODERMABRASION is ideally suited in treating the following indications:Before any active agent and general skin regeneration treatment

• ∙ Atrophy and aging akin
• ∙ Horny layers
• ∙ Pigmentation disorders and age spots
• ∙ Acne/skin impurities and acne scars
• ∙ UV light and sun damage
• ∙ Body treatment for stretch marks and cellulite

The success of controlled MICRODERMABRASION lies with the functions of the skin peeler. Through the flow of aluminum oxide peeling crystals, the upper skin layer is removed in a controlled and gentle manner. The targeted abrasion of the upper skin layer leads to increase the growth in young functional skin cells in the basal cell layer. These cells migrate to the upper layers, gradually replacing the damaged Tissue.

The treatment is gentle and pleasant.

• ∙ Results are immediately visible and improve with every treatment.
• ∙ Due to the gentle treatment process, the renewal process of the skin is greatly
• increased.
• ∙ Treatments can be matched exactly to the special needs of the skin.

The Effects

• ∙ Stimulation of the cell renewal in the epidermis
• ∙ Significant increase in the thickness of the epidermis and the dermis.
• ∙ Increase in local blood circulation of the skin.
• ∙ Significant increase in the absorption of externally applied active agent deep into the skin.

Pixel Laser Resurfacing

Pixel Laser Resurfacing

The Pixel Laser Surfacing procedure uses an Erbium Yag laser in resurfacing the skin. This treatment is state of the art, and is effective without the use of a CO2 laser and is without too much pain and downtime.

The Pixel laser technology tightens up skin on the neck, eyelids and works with overall skin quality by manipulating with the less than tight collagen fibers in the skin, while transitioning new cells. It indicates improvement in tone and texture of the skin, by reducing and almost removing discoloration due to age, UV ray exposure, while decreasing visible pore size, hyperpigmentation, and improving acne scars.

Usually completed in little under 20 minutes the results have been equal to those of traditional laser resurfacing techniques. The procedure prides itself on being performed with minimal downtime and discomfort, treatment protocols call for a series of 5 treatments, 2-4 weeks apart.

The technology is known as ablative fractional technology. Skin is treated by removing tissue via a dot Pixel hand-piece. Pixel technology is performed as a localized or "scattered" ablation vs. total ablation as seen in other technology. The Pixel treats a small fraction of the skin, in a particular manner, where in which the tiny pixelations of skin are lasered within the assigned zone. The Pixel allows about 65% of the lasered skin to remain "as is" and untreated around the Pixel therapy treated areas. The untouched skin may then act as a reservoir for the promotion of rapid healing to the newly lasered skin, reducing the downtime significantly.

Skin resurfacing occurs as the laser passes over the affected skin to remove damaged outer layers and, through heat, stimulates the production of collagen and new skin cells in the underlying layers.

The Pixel technology allows for a smoother, tighter, and more improved skin texture after just several sessions, if not visible in the first session. The technology has demonstrated a triggering of biological responses that may lead to collagen remodeling; responsible for the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement of laxity and discoloration.

The Pixel technology has been shown to improve the appearance of difficult to treat acne and keloid scars with just several treatments. The improvement that has been seen with tissue laxity, whether around the mouth, eyelids, or the neck, it is an excellent alternative to botox for several skin types.

Indications:

• Lessens acne or surgical scars
• Treats pigment related conditions
• Evens out uneven skin tone and smoothes skin texture
• Rejuvenates skin
• Lessens wrinkles and fine lines
• Reduces stretch marks

The Pixel laser resurfacing protocol has been shown to be so gentle that treatment can translate to those hard to treat areas once prohibitive by traditional resurfacing procedures, while being effective in such a short amount of time.
