Get Rid of Unsightly Hair Permanently

Are you tired of plucking, waxing or shaving unwanted and unsightly body hair? Have you ever imagine the confidence of wearing your favourite sleeveless top without worries of unsightly hair? Have you heard of laser hair removal?

How Laser Hair Removal Works?
Laser is the technique used for permanent hair reduction. The powerful yet gentle laser energy is absorbed by each hair shaft, resulting in the destruction of the hair as well as the bulge of the hair follicle. Lasers achieve a very high success rate for this purpose and vastly superior to waxing, plucking or shaving.

How Many Sessions is Required?
The majority of people will require at least 5 sessions. After each session, most will find that the hair growth has greatly reduced and the new hairs are very fine. Treatments are recommended at intervals of 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the site.

What Causes Dark Circles & Under-Eye Puffiness?

What Causes Dark Circles?
Despite what most people think , dark under eye circles are not primarily caused by stress, or late nights. Rather, dark circles are caused by capillaries that leak blood close to the skin's surface. When this blood begins to oxidise (Hemoglobin Degradation), it turns a bluish red colour, something like a bruise. Since the skin around the eyes is thin, this leads to the appearance of dark circles.


What Causes Eye Bags & Puffiness?
Puffy eyes are due to fluid build-up caused by poor drainage, fragile capillaries and loss of elasticity. Fluid leaks into surrounding tissues and produces the eye bags.

Can't stand the look of your eye bags, puffiness or dark panda eyes? Ask how doctors at NeuGlow can help you. Call 24hr hotline +65 8298 8000 or email enquiry@neuglow.com

Tattoo Removal Gains Popularity

Article Source: KHNL NBC 8 Honolulu

HONOLULU (KHNL) - It's a popular trend among teenagers and those in their 20's. We're talking about tattoos, and more than a third of young people under 25 have at least one, according to the Harris Interactive Poll. But what happens when you no longer want that permanent art on your body?

With tattoos' popularity, there is a growing niche among doctors who perform tattoo removal surgery. Thanks to laser technology, the process is less painful than it used to be.

As many as 45 million Americans sport these permanent body art, and tattoo parlors have become synonymous with trendy individualism.

"You go into a tattoo parlor and you get it done," said a woman who has several tattoos. "You pick something and you get it done."

But what happens when your art no longer expresses who you are? That's exactly why this woman we'll call "Jennifer" decided to get rid of her tattoos.

"I didn't think it through and I didn't realize that the one that I picked was not something I want to live with for the rest of my life and I just didn't think it through," said Jennifer.

She came to see this man: Dr. Gregory Herbich, a dermatologist who does a lot of tattoo removal procedures.

"They change their lifestyle," said Dr. Herbich. "They want to have a more professional image, or their job requires that they remove their tattoos."

Jennifer says she wants to project a different image in her 30's.

"You're getting them removed today. How are you feeling?" asked KHNL.

"Kind of anxious and nervous as always but, it's a simple process actually and when it's done, it's not sore. It's not painful," she said.

That's because Dr. Herbich uses Q-switch lasers, which are more gentle on the skin than old methods.

"The laser pulverizes the particles and the body's immune system eats the particles and takes it deeper into the skin," he said.

The patient can use local or general anesthesia depending on how extensive the procedure is. After several treatments, the tattoo is permanently erased.

"What do you want to say to young people who are thinking of getting tattoos?" asked KHNL.

"To think it through," said Jennifer. "To try out those henna tattoos first and pick something that is meaningful to yourself."

As many as 100,000 Americans get their tattoos removed each year. If you get it done, make sure your doctor is board certified and accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
