Sun Protector
When exposed to sunlight, even in the morning, the unprotected skin may experience damages leading to serious consequences.
Among the more frequent damages there are wrinkles, spots and, eventually, dermatitides that, in some cases, may lead to skin cancer, also known as neoplasia.
The use of an adequate sun blocker with SPF (sun protection factor) for each skin type (talk to your doctor) is not only necessary, but essential to keep a young and healthful skin. Remember: Exposure to sun light is less damaging before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m.! Women are more prone to develop skin spots during pregnancy. Care should be doubled.
Hydrating Body Lotions
The use of hydrating body lotions keeps skin elasticity, slows down aging, protects against tissue dehydration and the sunlight harmful effects.
The non-hydrated skin may present drying, loss of bright and tendency to desquamation. Consult with your doctor for guidance about the best recommended lotion to your skin.
Myths and Truths
Truth! On cloudy days, approximately 40% to 60% of the solar radiation crosses the clouds and reaches the Earth. People tend to think that the sun is not brightening and, therefore, it will not burn the skin. Happy illusion! In this scenario, people do not protect themselves and are double exposed to sun hazards. And the effects of the UV light manifest generally later on time, as they accumulate in the body. Most of the times, lesions occur around the forties. Thus, you should protect yourself and your family since early. |
Myth! There is no scientific evidence that acne is caused by food; however, it is important to keep a balanced dietary routine to have a more healthful skin appearance. A daily and careful cleaning is recommended to remove oiliness. Excess rubbing of a damaged site may lead to irritation and inflammation. In some cases, if you note that some types of food seem to worsen your acne, try to avoid them and consult with your doctor. |
Capillary Laser Therapy
The capillary laser therapy is a procedure involving the administration of substances that not only treat hair loss but also hair weakness and lack of bright and strength. This procedure is totally painless, without contraindications and undesired side effects and uses phytotherapeutic medications that block the abnormal hair loss.
Laser increases capillary density and the electro-stimulation activates circulation through an antibacterial, fungicide and healing action. The procedure also removes oiliness by eliminating and preventing seborrhea and dandruff.
The truths about collagen
Studies show that lack of collagen - a body-produced protein also accounting for skin elasticity - starts to be noted as of the thirties, particularly in smokers, those sunlight abusers or those living under stressing life routine
Collagen supplement, or powder collagen, widely promoted and easily found at the supermarket is not enough. Everybody waits for a miracle from a collagen pill. The truth is that these substances are broken by gastric juice and change from their original form. Thus, do not expect the collagen you ingested will reach your skin. The solution to stimulate collagen production is the chemical peeling, lasers and Vitamin A-based creams.
The skin elasticity
Over time, skin looses elasticity and the first wrinkles show on your skin. Although some non invasive procedures are successful, others still lack capacity to correct the face and neck flaccid skin. For these cases, the surgical Facial Lifting procedure is the widely used method.
This procedure is recommended for 40-year and older patients. It corrects skin and muscle flaccidity and removes skin excess without changing the patient's features, thus promoting a younger and more natural appearance.
Treatments for winter times
Colder months are the more suitable period for body care. Body care is also needed for the rest of the year; however the Autumn/Winter period is the time when people look for skin recovery therapies, to gain a well nurtured, revitalized and clean skin for the summer.
Remember, the sun, the beach and the swimming-pool are wonderful, but leave their footprint before summer is gone. The season effects can be literally felt on the skin, particularly if we exaggerate.
Skin spots and small vessels arising on the skin after summer may be treated with laser. And as the sunlight may hinge recovery, patients opt to undergo therapy in colder times.
Doctors also mention that during these colder days, there is an increase in treatments and surgeries demanding longer recovery periods. Frequently, post-operation period requires the patient to wear bands and belts that bring discomfort in sunny days. This explains why some procedures, such as liposuction, increase in colder seasons.
Is the hyaluronic acid recommended for lip hydration?
When injected into lips contour, the hyaluronic acid works as an excellent and deep hydrating substance. The product treats dryness caused either by cold weather or by the combination of agents such as exposure to sunlight, sea and pools.
Treatments for Summer times.
Yes, there are aesthetic therapies and procedures to be carried out during summer, among them: Filling (Preenchimento), Botulinum Toxin (Toxina Botulínica) (Botox™), Laser Titan and the combination of Accent with Carboxytherapy to fight against cellulitis.
Filling, recommended for facial renewal, consists of the application of biodegradable substances (such as the hyaluronic acid) not only to attenuate facial lines, wrinkles and sulci, but also to fill cheeks, nose and chin. The procedure may be administered to both men and women, anytime and at any age.
When injected into lips contour, the hyaluronic acid works as an excellent and deep hydrating agent and treats dryness caused by the combination of sun exposure, the sea and the pool.
Those who look for the Botulinum Toxin do not need to wait for the end of the summer. Men and women are more and more looking for this procedure - today, the most applied procedure in the world. In addition to being an alternate means to eliminate facial wrinkles, it is also used to lift the tip of the nose, to correct the gummy smile, to treat bruxism and the face and neck light flaccidity. One of the most required applications is associated with the excess sweating that turns to be critical in this time of the year.
The Laser Titan represents another option to treat facial flaccidity and that may be performed in the summer. The infrared light stimulates production of new collagen fibers, thus promoting an immediate lifting effect. This treatment is recommended for any type of skin and, the best, it does not interfere with tanning.
This is a great alternative for those who plan to stay away from the surgical lifting.
A warning to those obstinate runners: be careful with excessive weight loss that may increase facial flaccidity. In this field, one of the major innovations is the association of Laser Titan that reduces flaccidity, with the Facial Filling, that replaces the excessive volume lost during the run.
It is also recommended the combination of Accent and Carboxytherapy, the only procedure really effective to fight cellulitis and light body flaccidity. The first one is a type of radiofrequency to produce local heat and break fatty cells, thus stimulating collagen and elastin production, as well as promoting improvements in flaccidity and cellulitis. The carboxytheraphy increases and improves blood circulation, which also contributes to reduce the problem.
