Salicylic Acid Salicylic acid works best for blackheads and whiteheads. When used regularly, this ingredient may also prevent future comedones from forming.
Salicylic acid dries out excess oils (sebum) in your pores. However, it could remove too much oil, making your face unusually dry.

Other possible side effects include:

hives
itching
peeling skin
stinging or tingling

Scar correction Scar revision is surgery to improve or reduce the appearance of scars. It also restores function, and corrects skin changes (disfigurement) caused by an injury, wound, poor healing, or previous surgery.

Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury (such as an accident) or surgery.

How much scarring there is depends on:

Size, depth, and location of the wound, Your age
Skin characteristics, such as color (pigmentation)
Depending on the extent of the surgery, scar revision can be done while you are awake (local anesthesia), sleeping (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia).

Scars shrink and become less noticeable as they age. You may be able to wait to have surgery until the scar lightens in color. This can be several months or even a year after the wound has healed. For some scars, it is best to have revision surgery 60 to 90 days after the scar matures. Each scar is different.

Scars from trauma surgery or burns- Traumatic scarring results from healing after significant injury to the skin. There are many potential sources of injury, such as sharp objects that penetrate the skin, thermal or chemical burns, and friction or scraping.

Scope of aesthetics To provide more than a general definition of the subject matter of aesthetics is immensely difficult. Indeed, it could be said that self-definition has been the major task of modern aesthetics. We are acquainted with an interesting and puzzling realm of experience: the realm of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, and the elegant; of taste, criticism, and fine art; and of contemplation, sensuous enjoyment, and charm. In all these phenomena we believe that similar principles are operative and that similar interests are engaged. If we are mistaken in this impression, we will have to dismiss such ideas as beauty and taste as having only peripheral philosophical interest. Alternatively, if our impression is correct and philosophy corroborates it, we will have discovered the basis for a philosophical aesthetics.

Semi permanent make-up Semi Permanent Makeup is a revolutionary method of enhancing the appearance of brows, eyelids, and lips. Let our certified Micro Technician and makeup artist at Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa offer her expertise in permanent cosmetic enhancement. Touchups are done at least 4 to 6 weeks after initial treatment.
Thinning eyebrows are one of the first signs of hypo thyroid status and aging. Just by shaping the brow, your face can look years younger and fresher. Depending on your body metabolism, typically it lasts up to 12 – 18 months and post that a touch up is required. Younger girls typically want a beauty spot, liner or lips done, whereas women over 35 are typically looking to enhance their features and have their eyebrows and liner done.

Septoplasty Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to straighten the bone and cartilage dividing the space between your two nostrils (septum). When the septum is crooked, it's known as a deviated septum. A deviated septum can make it harder to breathe through your nose and can increase the risk of sinus infections due to poor drainage.
During septoplasty, your nasal septum is repositioned to the middle of your nose. This may require your surgeon to cut and remove parts of your nasal septum before reinserting them in the proper position.
Once a septoplasty is healed, you'll likely find it's easier to breathe. Your surgeon can discuss what septoplasty can achieve for you.

Sibutramine reduces body weight and appetite and increases satiety. Prospective randomised controlled trials have shown it to be effective, with one trial finding that patients on sibutramine lost 4.3kg or 4.6% more weight than those taking the placebo. The most common adverse effects are dry mouth, constipation and insomnia.

Side fat Weight in your sides can be frustrating to get rid of. Rather than trying exercises that claim to target one area of the body, you'll need to lose weight overall to get rid of side fat. However, you can lose weight more quickly and tone muscles to reduce the appearance of fat in your sides by doing exercises that target the abs and obliques.
Laser fat reduction works by dismantling subcutaneous fat using controlled heat. A specific laser wavelength is delivered through the skin, heating fatty tissues to the point where fat cells begin to break down. A constant cooling mechanism ensures that skin is not damaged in the process. SculpSure is the brand name of this non-invasive laser technology.

Simplicity in aesthetic Quality should never be a compromise. To be honest and realistic about a treatment is a must for an organization for a good customer experience. Doing simple things but at its best is a major concern for the satisfaction of an individual. Simple and easy ways of pampering yourselves and embrace your younger version once again. As rightly said, "outer beauty starts from within" , this place is best for the one's who wants to explore their inner beauty. It is a one stop help center for all who wants to relish a new experience with their bodies. Come and start the change today itself by pampering ourselves for this.

Skin booster Beauty boosters and skinboosters, otherwise known as skin hydrators, are micro injections of dermal filler that reintroduce hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve quality by boosting hydration and elasticity. They also smooth skin texture, and reduce fine lines and imperfections such as acne scarring.  All skin types are suitable for these kinds of injections but they are particularly suited for anyone with rough and dehydrated skin, fine lines, and mild to moderate acne scarring. 

Skin care You may suspect you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin, but do you really know your skin type? Knowing your true skin type can help the next time you’re in the cosmetics aisle. In fact, using the wrong products — or even popularized Internet hacks — for your skin type could worsen acne, dryness, or other skin problems.
Start with a basic and simple routine to see how your skin reacts. Once you’re comfortable, you can then add extra products such as exfoliants, masks, and spot treatments to boost your skin’s health.
And don’t forget to patch test new products, especially if you suspect you have sensitive skin. This can help you identify potential allergic reactions.

Skin graft procedure A surgeon will begin the operation by removing skin from the donor site. if you’re getting a
Split-thickness graft, the skin will be removed from an area of your body that’s usually hidden by clothing, such as your hip or the outside of your thigh. if you’re getting a full-thickness graft, preferred donor sites are the abdomen, groin, forearm, or area above the clavicle (collarbone).
Once skin is removed from the donor site, the surgeon will carefully place it over the transplant area and secure it with a surgical dressing, staples, or stitches. if it’s a split-thickness graft, it may be “meshed.” the doctor may punch multiple holes in the graft to stretch out the piece of skin so that he or she may harvest less skin from your donor site. this also allows fluid to drain from under the skin graft. fluid collection under the graft may cause it to fail. in the long term the meshing may cause the skin graft to take a “fish-net” appearance.

Skin Needling Skin needling or microneedling therapy is a method that punctures the skin to regenerate a healthier layer. the microneedling procedure involves rolling a group of needles over your skin in various directions. these needles create hundreds of punctures on your skin and cause new collagento form.
This therapy method triggers your skin to regenerate and increase collagen, a protein necessary to maintain skin elasticity and health.

Skin rejuvenation Sun, skin disorders, aging and even heredity can all contribute to skin irregularities on the face and elsewhere on the body. These include textural irregularities like wrinkles and acne scars, pigmentation changes like freckles, sunspots or visible blood vessels. In addition, skin may lose tone, feel less firm and lose the healthy glow that is evident in younger skin. Different treatment modalities are available to treat the different aspects of skin damage. Laser resurfacing, mechanical resurfacing, chemical peels and injectable products can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of the entire face or those that develop in specific regions of the face, such as the upper lip and around the eyes. These treatments can also be used to address pigmentation disorders, such as sun and age spots, and they can be used to improve the appearance of acne scars or other skin conditions.

Skin routine The goal of any skin-care routine is to tune up your complexion so it’s functioning at its best, and also troubleshoot or target any areas you want to work on. Great skin is not simply a matter of dna — your daily habits, in fact, have a big impact on what you see in the mirror. But depending on which product reviews you read or doctors you consult, there is a dizzying number of opinions on everything from how to moisturize to how to protect yourself from uv rays. Ultimately, caring for your skin is simply personal. 

Skin sensitivity Sensitive skin is a skin condition in which skin is prone to itching and irritation experienced as a subjective sensation when using cosmetics and toiletries.

Skin tightening Skin tightening is a fairly new development because it was very hard to get the technology right. Thermage (which uses radiofrequency) was the original machine using this type of technology, but it hurts, the treatments last about 90 minutes and it is expensive. Ulthera uses ultrasound technology for its skin-tightening effect. It is not as painful as thermage Treatments using electrical heat are less painful and cheaper, but are required more frequently.

Skincare The goal of any skin-care routine should be to find what your “problem areas” are and work on fixing them. This helps to tune up your complexion and get it functioning at its best. This is especially true when considering how your skin changes as you age. Creating a daily ritual can not only help improve your skin, but also ground your day. It’s also important to remember to give it time! You skin-care products (no matter how expensive) aren’t going to be an instant fix to your acne or hyperpigmentation. You will see results after consistent use, generally around 6 weeks.

Slimming Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. Body mass index (bmi) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. It is defined as a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m2). The who definition is: bmi greater than or equal to 25 is overweight. Bmi greater than or equal to 30 is obesity. Bmi provides the most useful population-level measure of overweight and obesity as it is the same for both sexes and for all ages of adults. However, it should be considered a rough guide because it may not correspond to the same degree of fatness in different individuals.

Smile Makeover Smile makeover involves a comprehensive assessment of your smile aesthetic in order to improve its overall appearance. Typically one or more cosmetic procedures, such as dental veneers,dental implants,gingival sculpting and teeth whitening,will be required for several teeth in the both upper and lower arches in order to achieve the look you want.

Smooth and clear complexion Like wrinkle prevention injections, lasers have been around for many years but they have improved enormously recently and they continue to develop in leaps and bounds. Lasers are usually the treatment of choice for improving the complexion and texture of the skin and can treat sun damage, broken capillaries, coarse pores, redness, rosacea, acne scars, pigmentation and sun spots. The house of camille is in the process of obtaining the new elos plus laser, which is a complete aesthetic workstation targeting hair removal, vascular and pigment treatment, acne and skin rejuvenation.

Spider vein Spider veins are small, damaged veins that can appear on the surface of the legs or face. They are usually not painful or harmful, but some people may wish to treat them for cosmetic reasons.
Spider veins can be blue, purple, or red and may appear in the form of thin lines, webs, or branches. People sometimes also refer to them as thread veins.
A range of treatments can remove spider veins or reduce their appearance.

In this article, we discuss the causes of spider veins and how they differ from varicose veins. We also cover the treatment and prevention of spider veins.
Causes
In the legs, spider veins can occur when the valves inside the veins stop working properly.
Veins carry blood back to the heart. To prevent blood from flowing backward, they contain a one-way valve that closes once the blood passes through it.
If this valve weakens or becomes damaged, the blood may struggle to flow in the correct direction, and it can begin to pool inside the vein. Over time, this can cause a bulge in the vein that branches out, resulting in spider veins.
Spider veins on the face are often the result of tiny blood vessels bursting. Increased pressure or sun damage can cause this to occur.

Split-thickness grafts A split-thickness graft involves removing the top layer of the skin — the epidermis — as well as a portion of the deeper layer of the skin, called the dermis. these layers are taken from the donor site, which is the area where the healthy skin is located. split-thickness skin grafts are usually harvested from the front or outer thigh, abdomen, buttocks, or back.
Split-thickness grafts are used to cover large areas. these grafts tend to be fragile and typically have a shiny or smooth appearance. they may also appear paler than the adjoining skin.
Split-thickness grafts don’t grow as readily as ungrafted skin, so children who get them may need additional grafts as they grow older.

Stained/ yellow teeth Discolouration of your teeth can be caused by all sorts of things, from smoking and certain foods and drinks, right through to age and even genetic disposition. We offer a range of treatments for stained teeth , beginning with a simple teeth whitening procedure, through to veneers in more serious cases.

Stem cells anti aging treatment Wanna look younger !! Research shows that use of stem cells and other certain treatments may help slow down the process, or reverse it. Our treatment provides this unique effect of regenerating and repairing all those tissues and organs that were all damaged by stress and toxins, which people are often exposed to on a daily basis. This also results in increased stamina for daily activities and improved functioning of the immune system.

Stretch marks Indented, reddened streaks that usually appear on the skin from rapid weight gain or from weight changes.
Common causes of this symptom
Stretch marks can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include pregnancy, weight gain in obesity, growth spurts in teenagers, medication side effects or a rapid increase in muscle size through weightlifting.
Corticosteroid creams, lotions, and pills can cause stretch marks by decreasing the skin’s ability to stretch. Cushing’s syndrome, Marfan’s syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and other adrenal gland disorders can cause stretch marks by increasing the amount of cortisone in your body. Pulsed dye laser therapy encourages the growth of collagen and elastin. It’s best to use this therapy on newer stretch marks. Darker-skinned individuals may experience skin discoloration.

Strong hair The food and drug administration has approved a low-level laser device as a treatment for hereditary hair loss in men and women. A few small studies have shown that it improves hair density. Low-level laser therapy — also referred to as red light therapy and cold laser therapy — irradiates photons into scalp tissues. These photons are absorbed by weak cells to encourage hair growth. It’s widely accepted that the procedure is safe, tolerable, and less invasive than hair transplant surgery. Because the results of laser therapy are inconsistent, the conclusion of the medical community seems to be that it appears to work for some people, but not for others.

Subcision Subcision is an inexpensive surgical procedure best used to treat rolling atrophic scars. while effective as a solo procedure, subcision is often combined with other treatments including microneedling and chemical peels.
The subcision method loosens the area around the indented scar and creates a new wound that can heal properly and match your normal layer of skin.
During this procedure, your doctor will insert a needle under the skin repeatedly in various directions around the scar tissue, using a fanning motion. after the procedure, pressure and ice should be applied to the affected site to prevent bleeding. subcision may be repeated if your scar is more severe.

Subfascial The breast implant is emplaced beneath the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle; the subfascial position is a variant of the subglandular position for the breast implant.the technical advantages of the subfascial implant-pocket technique are debated; proponent surgeons report that the layer of fascial tissue provides greater implant coverage and better sustains its position.

Subglandular The breast implant is emplaced to the retromammary space, between the breast tissue (the mammary gland) and the pectoralis major muscle (major muscle of the chest), which most approximates the plane of normal breast tissue, and affords the most aesthetic results. yet, in women with thin pectoral soft-tissue, the subglandular position is likelier to show the ripples and wrinkles of the underlying implant. moreover, the capsular contracture incidence rate is slightly greater with subglandular implantation.

Submuscular The breast implant is emplaced beneath the pectoralis major muscle, without releasing the inferior origin of the muscle proper. total muscular coverage of the implant can be achieved by releasing the lateral muscles of the chest wall—either the serratus muscle or the pectoralis minor muscle, or both—and suturing it, or them, to the pectoralis major muscle. in breast reconstruction surgery, the submuscular implantation approach affects maximal coverage of the breast implants. this technique is rarely used in cosmetic surgery due to high risk of animation deformities.

Subpectoral (dual plane) The breast implant is emplaced beneath the pectoralis major muscle, after the surgeon releases the inferior muscular attachments, with or without partial dissection of the subglandular plane. resultantly, the upper pole of the implant is partially beneath the pectoralis major muscle, while the lower pole of the implant is in the subglandular plane. this implantation technique achieves maximal coverage of the upper pole of the implant, whilst allowing the expansion of the implant's lower pole; however, “animation deformity”, the movement of the implants in the subpectoral plane can be excessive for some patients.

Sun damaged skin Sun-damaged skin shows the following symptoms: Dry skin — The skin appears dry, flaky and slightly more wrinkled than skin on other parts of your body that have not been exposed to the sun. Dry skin is also one of the most common causes of itching. Sunburn — Mild sunburn causes pain and redness on sun-exposed skin.

Sunscreen Sunscreen is an important part of a complete sun protection strategy. But sunscreen alone isn’t enough to keep you safe in the sun.

Sunscreen ingredients

Sunscreen includes active ingredients that help prevent the sun’s UV radiation from reaching your skin. Here’s how the two types of sunscreen work for you:

Physical sunscreen ingredients (including the minerals titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) block and scatter the rays before they penetrate your skin.

Chemical sunscreen ingredients (like avobenzone and octisalate) absorb UV rays before they can damage your skin.

Surgical liplif Lip augmentation has been most commonly and successfully performed using dermal fillers, expanding the soft tissue of the vermilion (the pink part of the lip). Regardless of the type of fillers used, the results are often satisfying. The success of using injectable fillers is, however, based on one very important assumption – that there is enough vermilion to expand. 

Sweaty palms Most people who get sweaty palms a lot don't have a health problem. But there is a medical condition called hyperhidrosis (pronounced: hye-pur-hye-DROE-sis) that can cause a person's palms, feet, armpits, and other parts of the body to sweat heavily.
Hyperhidrosis usually begins around puberty. If a person has hyperhidrosis, a number of things can trigger the sweating, including alcohol, certain drugs, hormones, spicy foods, stress, and diseases like diabetes.
The good news about hyperhidrosis is that doctors have several different options for treating it. These include prescription solutions that a person applies to the skin and in-office electrical treatments.
Antiperspirants are commonly associated with underarm sweating, but these are also effective for stopping perspiration in different areas of the body, including the hands.
Baking soda is a quick and inexpensive way to reduce sweaty hands. Most people have a box of baking soda in their kitchen or bathroom.
If you have hyperhidrosis, organic apple cider vinegar can keep your sweaty palms dry by balancing pH levels in your body. You can wipe your palms with apple cider vinegar.

Swelling Swelling occurs whenever the organs, skin, or other parts of your body enlarge. It's typically the result of inflammation or a buildup of fluid. Swelling can occur internally, or it can affect your outer skin and muscles.
