As the weather warms up, people are spending more time at the pool and at the beach. Constantly shaving can take a lot of time, and it can cut or chafe the skin if done quickly or in a sloppy manner. Laser hair removal can give you the smooth skin you want without the hassle of shaving. It requires several sessions, but the results have been found to be much longer lasting.

Laser hair removal targets the melanin in the hair follicle. There are several different types of lasers, so before you have a procedure done, find out which kind works best for your skin tone and hair thickness.

If you want smooth, hassle-free skin for the approaching summer season, the Houston Medical Spa offers several laser hair removal options. Contact Dermagenix, the medical spa in Houston, today by calling 713-662-3376.

Three out of five sunscreens do not do what the label claims, according to studies by the Environmental Working Group, and this can damage your skin. Sunscreens that claim to be waterproof, all-day or sweat-proof simply cannot follow through on their promises, because a spokesperson for EWG says that sunscreen with those qualities does not exist.

The Sun Protection Factor, or SPF numbers are misleading as well, experts say. A 30 SPF sunscreen has only 3 percent more protection than a sunscreen with 15 SPF. In addition, many sunscreens only protect against UVB rays and not UVA rays. If the skin is exposed to excessive amounts of these harmful rays, permanent damage can occur. Evaluate carefully when purchasing sunscreen this season.

Plastic surgery has become less popular since the recession, dropping 5-19 percent for the most popular procedures, new data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows. However, the popularity of less invasive procedures have gone up 99 percent in the last decade.

Patients, especially baby boomers age 55 and up, have begun opting for less expensive, less painful surgeries. This includes procedures like Botox and wrinkle fillers. More than 90 percent of cosmetic procedures are performed on women.

Men often succumb to signs of aging on their faces before they even have to. Researchers say that 70 percent of aging factors can actually be under your control. When men see the first signs of wrinkles, the natural response is an anxious frown, which can in turn produce more wrinkles. Shaving daily can also also make you look younger, and not just because a clean-shaven face gives the appearance of being younger. The light friction from the razor stimulates collagen production and smoothes the skin.

Men can also look younger by cutting their hair short, preventing it from falling limp and exposing thin or balding spots. In addition, deviating from daily patterns can stimulate blood flow to the brain and recharge neurological connections.

If your face has already begun to show signs of aging, 3D Skin Rejuvenation might be able to help. To learn more, contact the Houston medical spa Dermagenix today by calling 713-662-3376.

New studies are finding that women age and develop wrinkles in a similar way to their mother. These similarities are most pronounced in terms of sagging and volume loss, researchers say, particularly around the eyelids and the corners of the eyes. Plastic surgeons are using three-dimensional computer modeling and facial imaging to compare mothers and daughters.These studies revealed that volume loss in the lower eyelids begins when a woman is in her 30s and progresses steadily through life. Researchers hope that these studies will help plastic surgeons develop more effective rejuvenation methods for the eye region.If your face is beginning to show signs of age, you don’t have to sit back and watch.
