Men are opting to remove spider veins over replacing hair

Chicago (March 13, 2008) – The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) is pleased to announce the results of its 2007 Procedural Data. This information is collected by polling the Academy’s U.S.-based members.

Findings conclude that sclerotherapy, the standard treatment for spider and varicose veins, is now the number two most performed cosmetic surgical procedure, due in large part to men. Sclerotherapy has seen a 226.3% increase in males over the past five years. A drastic comparison to the 3.5% increase in females since 2002.

On the opposite end, males have strayed away from hair transplants. Cost is likely to be a cause of this decline. Over five years, the price of hair transplants increased by $1,296, while sclerotherapy decreased by $103.

“Cosmetic surgeons have experienced a boost of males wishing to receive sclerotherapy,”

How to Treat Hair Loss on Men

Hair loss is a problem with men as well. For men, hair loss and thinning of hair have been a sensitive issue throughout time.

Provillus is one of those herbal remedies that you can use with your hair loss. Lately, medical science has finally identified the main causes of hair loss. Currently, it was identified that hair loss stems from both hormonal and genetic causes. Male pattern hair loss or androgenetic Alopecia is implicated as 95% of the hair loss causes. A hormonal byproduct called DHT (dihydrotestostrone) is the key. The more your hair follicles become fine and thinner until the hair is permanently lost, the more DHT that gets into your body.

In the body, DHT is one of many male hormones.

Hairy Situation: A Laser Technician for Observant Women

‘Feel my leg,” said Shulamis Soffer, 27, offering up a silky, hair-free gam for inspection. The Orthodox Brooklyn native’s legs are just-got-a-wax smooth, and, thanks to the magic of lasers, they always will be. A licensed laser hair removal specialist, Soffer wants to help as many people as possible experience the same sort of razor-free freedom she now enjoys.

“I used to be really, really hairy,” Soffer said matter-of-factly, noting that Jewish women are particularly prone to hairiness. She would shave and wax constantly, but the hair always grew back, darker than ever. It wasn’t until her later teenage years that she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that can lead to increased hair growth (or hirsutism) in certain women. Her affliction led to the realization that she didn’t have to live her life under a layer of fur — and neither did anyone else.

Hi-Tech Beauty-Buster Fixers

Whether your problem is thinning hair or acne, there are a few hot, new products on that claim to take away everything from wrinkles to too much hair. The products use some of the same technologies that a dermatologist may have used on you -- lasers, LED lights, and infrared light -- and you can use them all in your own home.

But do they work?

"These products provide at-home versions of procedures typically performed in a doctor's office: light treatments, laser hair removal, or chemical peels," says Linda Wells, editor in chief of Allure magazine.

"In terms of at-home treatments, this is just the beginning."

Wells and some Allure staffers visited The Early Show Wednesday and reported on the effectiveness of products the staffers tried for several weeks.

ILLUSTRATION AND TEXT BY TERESANNE COSSETTA OF THE TIMES

One in five people will get skin cancer in his or her lifetime, the American Academy of Dermatology says. Each year more than 1-million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer, the most common of all cancers in this country. Floridians especially should be aware of the health risks associated with prolonged sun exposure; damage done to the skin is cumulative. Sunscreen provides some protection, but it might not be enough. So before you head to the beach, take time to learn the basics of sun protection.

Laser Hair Removal Facts for Consumers

(PRWEB) September 3, 2005 -- Doctors and practitioners are salespeople, too.

They are trying to sell you something that will cost you a lot of money. They have to make payments on a laser costing tens of thousands of dollars. That's a lot of sales they have to make.

Doctors are not perfect.

Doctors can also be fooled by marketing hype-- they are bombarded with advertisements for lasers. Laser sales reps take them to lunch or to a sports event and chat about how great their system is, and how much money they could make. Doctors hear rumors and believe them, too. I know of several good, trustworthy physicians who bought SoftLight machines when they came out, believing they were permanent. Physicians can also be too busy/lazy to read more than an abstract of a clinical study. I am constantly amazed at how trusting some people are of physicians, taking their word as gospel.

Some laser technicians are unqualified and could damage your skin.

It's safest to go to a physician, preferably a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Your procedure is likely to be safer and more effective when done under medical supervision. Unqualified practitioners have been known to cause serious skin damage on unsuspecting clients.

Can you afford it if you have no long-term results?

Retail therapy at the mall now includes cosmetic surgery

Andrew Rudnick snickered when he first saw a medical spa offering Botox and laser hair-removal services on a visit to a Las Vegas mall in 2002. He laughed at the thought of someone - anyone - shopping for the latest fashions, grabbing a bite to eat and then, oh yeah, strolling in for a quick shot of Botox to zap out a nasty wrinkle.

"I couldn't understand why anybody in a mall would walk in and have their legs lasered, never mind Botox," he recalled. He parked himself on a bench near the spa and watched in amazement as shoppers strolled in. He owned a weight-loss and laser center in Boston at the time, and the sight was a revelation. "I counted the traffic in and out and saw the revenue."

Returning to Boston, he scouted retail locations. He dropped the weight-loss part of his business to focus on skin care and laser treatments, renamed the company and opened his first Sleek MedSpa that same year.

Hair test cuts breast cancer errors

Detecting breast cancer from changes in the structure of hair could cut down false alarms from mammograms.

The test bombards strands of hair with X-rays from a synchrotron particle accelerator. In hair from healthy people, the pattern produced by the X-rays is a series of arcs, while in people with breast cancer a distinctive ring is superimposed on top of the arcs.

Though the test first showed promise in 1999 (Nature, vol 398, p 33), other researchers failed to repeat the results. Now Peter French and Gary Corino of the company Fermiscan in Sydney, Australia, say this is because hair is damaged by products such as dyes, by stretching as it is held in the X-ray beam, or because it is wrongly aligned in the beam. Their device holds hair in the correct position, does not stretch it and tests only the untreated hair a few ...

Hair today... and still hair tomorrow

IT is a hairstyle that through the decades has stood for both female liberation and the ultimate in catwalk chic.Now the bob, which most recently leapt back to life when Victoria Beckham sheared her long locks in favour of something more stylish, has been voted the "most iconic haircut" of all time.The haircut, which became a sign of a liberated woman when it was made popular in the 1920s by the "flappers" and again in the Sixties with stars such as Mary Quant, beat Jennifer Aniston's sleek long locks in a survey.The Friends star's hairdo sparked the biggest hair craze of the Nineties as women flocked to salons to ask for "a Rachel".But the enduring classic style of the bob came top of the poll. The Amy Winehouse-style Sixties beehive was third, followed by the 1970s Farrah Fawcett feathered number, as recently imitated by Madonna, in the poll commissioned by Hair magazine.The survey of 1,600 people also found that Aniston has the hair that women envy the most, followed by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cat Deeley and Penelope Cruz.Although the bob was created in 1909, it was not until the 1920s that it gained popularity when it became a sign of a liberated woman among the flappers “ a "new breed" of young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair and listened to the new jazz music.Speaking about the popularity of the bob, which deviated from the classic Mary Quant and became renamed the pob “ which stands for Posh bob “ when Mrs Beckham cut off her super long hair extensions, Scottish hairdressers said it was a versatile hair cut.Paul Adamczuk, managing director of hairdressers Cheynes said: "The bob is one of the haircuts that can frame people's faces and can be changed quite dramatically according to a hairdresser's interpretation “ from a boxy cut, a more angular look, or a softer cut which is slightly layered at the front."Charlie Miller, director of Charlie Miller Hairdressing, which has five salons in Edinburgh, said it was an enduring style.
