Beauty and Enlightenment: Laser Light Treatment of Acne
Acne is not a particularly attractive trait of anyone, whether adult or
adolescent. Acne, in fact, contributes to lowering one's sense of self, and
self-esteem. As acne untreated can scar one's skin, the effects brought on by
acne can scar one emotionally for life.
Acne, however, is curable. Called by its formal name Acne vulgaris, acne is
characterized by inflammation of the skin in the form of pus-filled bumps. These
bumps are actually hair follicles clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
Acne is caused by a variety of problems. It can be due to a genetic
predisposition to acne, a theory supported by the prevalence of acne in Western
societies. Acne is also caused by fluctuations in hormonal levels, especially of
the male hormone testosterone. Acne, scientists surmise, is the body's reaction
to these hormonal changes.
Another cause of acne is stress, which on its own results in hormonal
fluctuations due to overworking of the adrenal glands. Other causes include
medications containing halogens, androgens, barbiturates, and iodides; exposure
to chlorinated compounds such as chlorinated dioxins; and abnormalities in
follicle physiology, such as channels that are too narrow, pores that are too
wide and deep, among others.
Adult acne is common as well, and may be due to conditions such as ovarian
syndromes, pregnancy, or a rare syndrome such as Cushing's.
Although highly unsightly and inconvenient, acne is not without its cures.
Several topical ointments, such as those containing retinoic acid and benzoyl
peroxide, have been shown to cure acne. These medications, however, do not
provide immediate results, and are thus often expensive.
Previous studies on acne have shown that sunlight can improve acne problems, but
sunlight actually worsens acne in the long term due to UV damage to the skin.
Nevertheless, treatment of acne by other wavelengths of light is now becoming
common, as it is a painless, non-invasive, and has been shown to decrease the
incidence of acne. One type, light wave therapy, passes a blue light beam of
high intensity over the skin. Originally used for cancer therapies, this
treatment has shown to be effective in acne removal.
The light of blue light therapy is generated by fluorescent bulbs, lasers, or
dichroic bulbs. When applied daily, blue light can reduce acne considerably.
This is due to the effect the light has on Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria
responsible for causing acne.
According to studies, the bacterium produces a set of molecules called
porphyrins, which generate harmful molecules called free radicals when
porphyrins are exposed to blue light. As these free radicals accumulate,
bacteria are killed, and acne is reduced until it disappears.
Blue light treatment has been shown to be safe, and even more effective than
benzoyl peroxide, but over a shorter period. Blue light treatment, however, is
considered expensive, but is actually cheaper than using benzoyl peroxide over a
period of years.
Laser surgery, on the other hand, makes use of a high intensity laser beam
passed over the skin to treat acne. This kind of treatment has actually been
used to treat acne scars, but is now commonly used to prevent acne.
Laser therapy works by one of the following methods:
* Lasers degrade, or burn away the follicle sac, the opening in the follicle
from which hair grows.
* Laser light is strong enough to damage, or completely remove oil-producing
sebaceous glands.
* Like blue light treatment, lasers lead to the formation of free oxygen
radicals in acne bacteria, which can kill them.
Laser surgery, however, is reputed to have disadvantages, such as damage to skin
due to exposure to light. If used improperly, light and laser treatments can dry
out skin, or induce the formation of spots. Natural Beauty Eyes and Nails

Hair loss is a process that occurs everyday. On a single day you can lose
anywhere between fifty to hundred hair. But, since it is replaced everyday, you
hardly notice any difference. Alarm bells however, start ringing when the rate
of hair fall occurs faster than the rate of hair growth. This can lead to
depleting hair and eventually, baldness. But, there are methods you can use to
stop hair loss. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is by far the best solution for
natural hair loss prevention - eat a balanced diet, exercise well, sleep well
and avoid junk food and chemical treatments on your hair.
Intake of nutritional food is extremely important for natural hair loss
prevention. A healthy and balanced diet provides all the essential vitamins and
minerals for healthy hair growth. Natural hair loss prevention is possible if
you include diets rich in proteins, calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, selenium,
sulfur, silica and zinc. Recent research has identified silica as one of the
most essential minerals required for keeping hair healthy and strong. It is also
one of the most important constituents of most commercially available hair
growth and hair loss prevention products. Regular and balanced intake of
seafood, rice, whole grains, soy, green vegetables, onions, meat, fish, brewer's
yeast and dairy products give you all the necessary vitamins and minerals to
keep your hair healthy. Also avoid junk food and caffeine.
Apart from food, cleansing and massaging of the scalp aid in healthy hair
growth. External cleansing removes dirt from the scalp and for serious hair loss
conditions, you may require internal detoxification of the body. Toxins can
adversely affect the body's systems thereby causing scalp diseases. Massaging
the scalp with aromatherapy oils is also an effective natural hair loss
treatment. Massaging stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles and helps to
stop hair loss. Oils must be chosen depending on the skin type and hair type, to
give maximum benefits. External applications of herbs such as henna, Aloe Vera
and homemade conditioners are also effective in natural hair loss treatment.
Exercising also plays a major role in natural hair loss prevention. Exercising
improves blood flow to all the systems of the body and keeps every organ
healthy. That indirectly has a positive effect on your hair. Sleep is essential
for the body to recuperate and this too has an indirect but positive effect on
your mane. Unless you have a major hair loss problem, resort only to natural
hair loss treatment. It has no side effects and regular treatment gives you much
better results than any commercial hair loss prevention product.
