IPL 29 Palms Has Very Little Downtime Attached to it

For a lot of people considering having cosmetic surgery one of the negatives is the fact they will have to spend time off work and unable to participate in normal activities, also known as downtime. This happens everywhere and with most procedures such as body contouring, a 29 Palms nip tuck or even 29 Palms Radiance.

One of the treatments which require very little downtime is the 29 Palms IPL. ILP 29 Palms, or anywhere else in the country is a very popular procedure with quick results. IPL promises a load of benefits: from hair removal to the eradication of rosacea and the blitzing of spider veins, from improved skin texture and pigmentation to the banishing of fine lines and wrinkles; even an end to acne and a reversal of some of the signs of sun damage. Several treatments are usually recommended, so IPL could represent quite a significant investment, but despite the credit crunch there appears to be no shortage of customers.
IPL systems work on the same principles as lasers in that light energy is absorbed into particular target cells with colour (chromophores) in the skin. The light energy is converted to heat energy, which causes damage to the specific target area. IPL systems are different to lasers in that they deliver many wavelengths (or colours) in each pulse of light instead of just one wavelength. Most IPL systems use filters to refine the energy output for the treatment of certain areas.
Vascular lesions
  • For the treatment of spider and thread veins, and some vascular birthmarks.
  • Light pulses targeted at the red-pigment (haemoglobin) in the blood which heats and destroy the pigment without affecting the skin or other tissues.
Pigmented lesions
  • For the treatment of age spots, freckles, flat pigmented birthmarks and other skin discolouration problems
  • Light pulses targeted at the melanin in the skin’s surface which heats and destroy melanin to remove the discolouration.
Hair removal
  • For the treatment of unwanted hair.
  • Light pulses targeted at the hair follicle causing the hair to fall out and prevent further growth. Generally ineffective for light coloured hair.
  • May be used for hair in any location including underarms, bikini line, face, neck, back, chest and legs
IPL therapy is considered a non-ablative resurfacing technique, which means that it targets the lower layers of skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis). The results are not as dramatic as ablative resurfacing where both the dermis and epidermis are injured to produce a much more noticeable overall outcome. The advantage of IPL therapy is its minimal downtime – a patient can often have the procedure done in their lunch break and return to work immediately afterwards.

Although each doctor 29 Palms will probably tell you a slightly different story from another about the costs and the procedure, they will most probably agree on the fact that that IPL 29 Palms, or wherever, is a quick and simple treatment. The procedure may not be cheap but it is effective and the downtime is minimal.

Cathedral City Body Contouring Has Been Around For Many Years

There was a time when we had to put up with whatever we had and try to be grateful for it. This included the body shape and face which we were blessed with and the most that we could do in the way of alterations was to use make up, exercise and control our diets. Things have changed drastically and now if you are not happy you resort to cosmetic procedures such as body contouring Coachella, or wherever. 

Body contouring Coachella Valley or body contouring Desert Hot Springs allows us to alter the shape of our body with the aid of minor surgical procedures. With age we find that the skin we have tends to sag and lose elasticity and areas that are often affected by loose, unsupported skin include the upper arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, groin and thighs. Although bodycontouring Indian Wells is popular, not everyone is a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Before you opt for body contouring surgery, some important issues to keep in mind include:

·         Your weight loss must be stabilised. Weight loss after surgery will create loose pockets of skin. Weight gain will stress your tightened skin and cause stretch marks and widened scars.
·         If you have had weight reduction surgery, your plastic surgeon will work closely with your doctor to determine when it is appropriate for you to begin body contouring.

·         There will be many incisions made. You must be prepared for extensive scarring.
·         Think about the financial cost. Cosmetic surgery does not usually qualify for rebates from Medicare or private health insurance.
·         Smokers are at increased risk of complications. If you are serious about undergoing cosmetic surgery, you should try to quit smoking.

The overall impact of body contouring is a smoother, flatter stomach and abdomen with tighter chest, buttocks, arms and legs. Many body contouring patients resume athletic activities they once enjoyed.

Aside from the obvious improvements in your body’s shape and contour, you also benefit from;

·         zero down-time
·         inexpensive fees relative to surgery
·         no, or nominal, discomfort
·         no scarring, unlike surgery

As patients have a more attractive figure and can once again wear a wider selection of clothes such as sun dresses, tank-tops, shorts, mini-skirts and bathing suits, self-esteem and confidence benefit tremendously. The decision to have body contouring surgery is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable. Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. 

You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks and potential complications. Cathedral City body contouring is the same as in other places and has been around for many years. Patients are given the opportunity to alter the way that they look without major surgery and there is a much quicker recovery time. Just make sure that you feel comfortable with the choice of doctor that you select for the procedure.
