Procedures in cosmetic dermatology are very popular and useful in medicine, indicated to complement topical and oral treatments not only for photodamaged skin but also for other dermatosis such as acne, rosacea, scars, etc. Also, full-face treatments using peelings, lasers, fillers and toxins are increasingly being used, successfully substituting or postponing the need for plastic surgeries. Altogether, these techniques not only provide immediate results but also help patients to sustain long-term benefits, both preventing/treating dermatological diseases and maintaining a healthy and youthful skin. Throughout this series, different treatments in Cosmetic Dermatology will be discussed in detail covering the use of many pharmacological groups of cosmeceuticals, the new advances in nutraceuticals and emerging technologies and procedures. This volume addresses the most important physical approaches in cosmetic dermatology, disclosing their uses and advantages. Here are discussed in detail the applicability of lasers and other lights, photodynamic therapy, radiofrequency, ultrasound and transepidermal drug delivery.

This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas is a comprehensive guide to the treatment and correction of scars.

For each scar type, the various invasive and minimally invasive procedures and their results are documented with the aid of numerous high-quality photographs. In the section on keloid and hypertrophic scars, treatment is presented according to scar localization. In addition, the influence of etiology on treatment is considered, with distinction between scars due to injuries, animal bites, inflammatory diseases (including acne and varicella), and burns. Care is taken to distinguish between approaches suitable for fresh scars (in the inflammation, proliferation, and maturation phases) and those appropriate for scars present for more than one year. Potential adverse effects and complications of treatment are also explored.​

Download or read book Mary had Stretch Marks written by Miriam Connor and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you up for a bit of honesty? Miriam Connor is a middle-aged Irish mum who is widowed and wondering where to find answers to life. This is entry-level enlightenment; her measure of a guru is whether they have fun at parties. Mary Had Stretch Marks is an ordinary and sometimes irreverent take on the truth; a story of seeking friendship that cuts through any baggage to find what is true, ‘farts and all’. “I love how raw honesty builds trust. The missing ingredient for me, in made-it-through stories, is angst. The authors’ personal angst is often shed by the time the book is written. Yet a bucketload of angst is usually the reason I picked that book up, looking for answers. I find myself searching for subtext of the person’s messy bits – not to drag them down to my level, but in the hope that there is a chance I can get up to theirs. In Mary Had Stretch Marks, I have left my angst in. “We moved to Scotland in 2006. My ex-neighbours ask me, 'What is different about you? You look really happy and peaceful.' Living close to the Findhorn Foundation, I have had the privilege of attending workshops such as Patch Adams and many more. My old neighbours notice a difference in me, and they are hungry to know my secret. I want to share what worked for me, while softening the jargon and having a laugh. I set out to write a book that would speak their language.” Mary Had Stretch Marks is a raw and honest autobiography that explores the power of honest friendship. The first half of the book is about Miriam and her husband’s journey through his diagnosis of cancer. The second half is her continuing search to discern truth. Miriam believes that honest, belly-laughing friendship is one of the best catalysts to help us change whatever is in the way of us being happy. Her book, which has been inspired by Robin Norwood’s Women Who Love Too Much, will appeal to fans of autobiographies and memoirs.

Download or read book Your Body written by Matthew MacDonald and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What, exactly, do you know about your body? Do you know how your immune system works? Or what your pancreas does? Or the myriad -- and often simple -- ways you can improve the way your body functions? This full-color, visually rich guide answers these questions and more. Matthew MacDonald, noted author of Your Brain: The Missing Manual, takes you on a fascinating tour of your body from the outside in, beginning with your skin and progressing to your vital organs. You'll look at the quirks, curiosities, and shortcomings we've all learned to live with, and pick up just enough biology to understand how your body works. You'll learn: That you shed skin more frequently than snakes do Why the number of fat cells you have rarely changes, no matter how much you diet or exercise -- they simply get bigger or smaller How you can measure and control fat That your hair is made from the same stuff as horses' hooves That you use only a small amount of the oxygen you inhale Why blood pressure is a more important health measure than heart rate -- with four ways to lower dangerously high blood pressure Why our bodies crave foods that make us fat How to use heart rate to shape an optimal workout session -- one that's neither too easy nor too strenuous Why a tongue with just half a dozen taste buds can identify thousands of flavors Why bacteria in your gut outnumbers cells in your body -- and what function they serve Why we age, and why we can't turn back the clock What happens to your body in the minutes after you die Rather than dumbed-down self-help or dense medical text, Your Body: The Missing Manual is entertaining and packed with information you can use. It's a book that may well change your life. Reader comments for Your Brain: The Missing Manual, also by author Matthew MacDonald: "Popular books on the brain are often minefields of attractive but inaccurate information. This one manages to avoid most of the hype and easy faulty generalizations while providing easy to read and digest information about the brain. It has useful tricks without the breathless hype of many popular books."-- Elizabeth Zwicky, The Usenix Magazine "...a unique guide that should be sought after by any who want to maximize what they can accomplish with their mental abilities and resources."-- James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review - Wisconsin Bookwatch "If you can't figure out how to use your brain after reading this guide, you may want to return your brain for another."-- The Sacramento Book Review, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 19 "It's rare to find a book on any technical subject that is as well written and readable as Your Brain: The Missing Manual. The book covers pretty much anything you may want to know about your brain, from what makes it up, through how it develops to how to mitigate the affects of aging. The book is easy reading, fact packed and highlighted notes and practical applications. So if you want to learn more about your brain, how it works, how to get the best out of it or just want to stave off the ravages of Alzheimers (see chapter ten for details of how learning helps maintain your brain) then I can't recommend this book highly enough."-- Neil Davis, Amazon.co.uk "MacDonald's writing style is perfect for this kind of guide. It remains educational without becoming overly technical or using unexplained jargon. And even though the book covers a broad scope of topics, MacDonald keeps it well organized and easy to follow. The book captures your attention with fun facts and interesting studies that any person could apply to their own understanding of human ability. It has great descriptions of the brain and its interconnected parts, as well as providing full color pictures and diagrams to offer a better explanation of what the author is talking about."-- Janica Unruh, Blogcritics Magazine

It is a vital aspect of what we do, but at times, it can be very challenging providing this education. What has been provided for you here is basically what every midwife wished you knew when you walked in the door. While we cannot always give you this information in person, it is here as a guide for you to educate yourselves about anything and just about everything to do with pregnancy, labor, birth, and the next few days. Evidence-based practice and woman-centered care are the founding principles of midwifery practice. The information provided in My Body, My Baby reflects the most up-to-date research and evidence about any particular aspect of your journey at the time of publication. This is important, no doubt. But what is more important is how we use this evidence in our practice and how you use this information to educate yourself. A woman who has done her homework and knows to ask her questions and who knows her rights and the meaning of informed decisions and consentthose are the women that enable us, as midwives, to provide truly woman-centered care. Standing with a woman and developing trust and backing her up when shes vulnerable are so much more effective when she has an idea of what she does and doesnt want for herself and her baby, and in this case, the saying is so true. Knowledge is power. Please use this information to make sure that even in your most vulnerable state, you are working from a position of power. After all, it is your body and your baby.
