Facing up to new treatments
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 17 - 06 - 2013

The previously used method was Liposuction, but with the modern development and the emergence of the need in order to find use the devices and methods, which do not require Surgery and are equally effective and more safe, led to the development of these new devices and techniques to help patients address this problem.
LIPO CRYO
Lipo Cryo is the latest and advanced technique of reducing fat without any surgical process, the principle or the technique Lipo Cryo works on is cooling the fatty tissues under the skin and then breaking it down very finely and then the normal cavitation process follows to dispose of the fat resulting in a fat free, smooth, tight and slim structure.

This technique is safe and is recognized by the Food and Drug Authority the US FDA.

The device works on a system that urges and melts the excess fat in buttocks, arms, abdomen and other parts of the body, through massage. Infinite precision conjugated with the impact of the ultrasonic waves breaks down and reduces fat cells under the skin, which affects the fibers and Elastin in the body.
Med-Sculpt work directly targeting the compacted layer of cells through a comforting mechanical massage and stimulating lymphatic circulation and allowing re-absorption of the fluid.

The role of Botox in removing wrinkles
Often the patients visit Cosmetologists determined to remove some wrinkles and also to understand the reason behind it, as well as for facial sagging. But it has to be clarified that classification of the wrinkles is to be done i.e. they are either static wrinkles or kinetic wrinkles (dynamic). Wrinkles begin to appear in the area around the eyes and forehead lines.
The reasons for the appearance of wrinkles:

* Aging
* Damage caused by exposure to the sun
* A gradual decline in the amount of collagen and Elastin in the skin (Age Atrophy)
* Kinetics of the facial muscles (expression lines)

Doctors target the treatment using selective cosmetic neurological toxins such as Botox, which rely mainly on protein selectively at some point to meet between nerve cells and muscles. This technique is an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the areas of motor-frowning eyebrows, forehead and around the eyes, done within an interval of four to six months.
What is Botox?
The Botolinum Toxin Type A is a protein derived from the bacterium dubbed Claustrederm Buthelinyum. Seven existing types are permitted for use in the field of cosmetics. Botox was first used 20 years ago in the treatment of many medical conditions, especially in cases of muscular contraction.
It was later discovered about Botox's effectiveness to erase wrinkles. But it should be noted that the amount used in cosmetic care is much lower than those used to treat medical problems so we must respect the provisions of accurate use.
Where can it be injected?
Botox can be injected where wrinkles are seen or visible, at the top and bottom of the face, eye contour, the top of the nose, chin, and neck but never to be injected in the center of the face as it will only cause difficulty in speech and smile.
Botox is also used in the treatment of Hyperhidrosis of the hands and armpits, to stop sweating for a period of almost a year.
What is the difference between Botox and (fillers)?
Botox does not work on the filler injected area to give it more volume, but it works in an effective manner to relax the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles.
It should be noted that Botox does not replace fillers or vice versa. Recent studies have shown that the use of Botox such as collagen and Hyluronic Acid can prolong the effect and seems very logical in preventing muscle contraction, which will allow fillers in place for a longer period.
When should I start using Botox injections and are there any side effects?
Botox reduces the severity of facial wrinkles and can, if we want, be used to raise the eyebrows to give a more youthful look. But one of the most important characteristics of Botox is its ability to prevent the appearance of new wrinkles.
This product can be used from the age of seven years; it has not recorded any case of poisoning. But improper injecting by a non-experienced person may result in drop of eyelids or change in looks of the patient.

COFRAX - CO2 Fractional
Safe and effective treatment for:
Scars (Acne Scars, Surgical Scars, Burn Scars)
Skin Rejuvenation
Photo-Aged Skin
Wrinkles (Rhytides): Periorbital and Perioral wrinkles, deep wrinkles
Skin Tightening
Traditional Application: nervous, pigments, tissue tags, syringoma
Scars left by acne disease, accidents and the effects of surgical procedures are the cases that haunt and cause a lot of embarrassment to many people, also the pores and wrinkles that appear with age become one of the things to be treated and beautified.
“COFRAX” is a Fractional Laser device using a technique called Fractional CO2. It represents a great development in addressing these problems. This device, which uses columns microscopic skin therapy, improves and strengthens the collagen and increases Elastin.
LAMSSA Clinic uses the technique which is safe with high patient results and shows improvement right after the first session but requires more sessions until one gets the desired results.
COFRAX's ablative treatment has better performance compared to the traditional CO2 resurfacing procedure because the distinguished fine beam of COFRAX creates finest thermal zone to minimize side effects.
It makes deep micro-ablative columns surrounded by undamaged tissues, rather than ablating the entire surface of traditional CO2 laser. This strengthens and induces cell regeneration faster than the usual to reduce downtime.
This technique is safe and is recognized by the Food and Drug Authority the US FDA.

Hair problems in women and men
Hair is the most important aesthetic element of person, defining his or her looks on the very first instance.
But exposure to several conditions such as sun, use of cheap cosmetics, hair dye, etc. may result in damaged, dead or no hairs. Even sometimes the reason may be an internal factor like health conditions, psychological difficulties, certain medication, diet or sometimes genetic as well.
The natural hair loss is about 100 hairs a day though it does not causes void scalps immediately but by time it leads to lack of hair density resulting in void and clear scalp, causing great concern to the individual.
Similarly hair loss or baldness in men, symptoms lie in decline in the front line of the hair with a lack of hair density in the center of the head.
There are other problems plaguing the scalp of many individuals, it is the presence of the scalp crust (greasy — dry), pounding hair, damaged hair and overwrought hair, and accumulated fat in the scalp.
There are different treatments depending on the quality problem — often through needle, Mesotherapy (hair care), an injection of vitamins focused and effective in the scalp is an effective alternative to oral supplements — works to stop hair loss and revitalize the scalp to restore its capacity to grow healthy hair again.
Another very good and effective product to solve hair problems are Genisystem products/ sessions which:

* Nourish hair and stimulate the scalp to help prolong hair life and the appearance of new hair, especially at the patches or area of no hair.
* Permanently eliminates dandruff and prevents it from reappearing.
