How Do I get Ride of My Crow's Feet?

You laughed, you smiled, you squinted in the sun’s rays. You wouldn’t necessarily trade these experiences for youth, but those crow’s feet have got to go! With Botox injections, you can bid them adieu and keep on smiling!

Actually called canthal lines, crow’s feet are those wrinkles that form at the corners of the eyes.

For many years, Botox injectors have used the product to treat these little lines that cause some people large amounts of grief. Last fall, the FDA finally gave its seal of approval for its use in the treatment of crow’s feet, although medical practitioners around the world have been using Botox to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines and other areas of the face for decades.

Botox treatments are performed during a short office visit to a medspa where a licensed medical professional specializes in this type of treatment. Although the regulations vary from state to state, in Florida, only medical doctors, nurse practitioners and physicians assistants are legally allowed to perform cosmetic injections. Whatever your location, find an injector who is appropriately licensed in the state, experienced, and agrees with you about the natural look you want to achieve. And then watch those crow’s feet fly away!

TheraClear: A Breakthrough in Professional Acne Treatment

The TheraClear Acne Treatment System is a new, breakthrough device for acne with a multi-approach system that can dramatically reduce acne and improve the appearance of the skin. What makes TheraClear different is that it uses both a physical vacuum and a broad spectrum light, which work together to treat acne effectively. Clinical studies have determined that acne has several causes, but the root of the problem of acne is always due to blocked sebum. Theraclear is the only device that removes the sebum, mechanically evacuating it and other acne causing bacteria, for an immediate outcome.

The TheraClear Acne Treatment System is a professional acne treatment machine.  Information can be found at TheraClear.com.   

The Advantage of Light and Vacuum Acne Treatment

Many skin conditions respond quickly with remarkable results to TheraClear.  TheraClear works by combining two powerful energies that, when engaged simultaneously, can effect a level of purification and deep cleansing unattainable in previous acne light treatment systems. The vacuum-like component pulls out the clogged, dead skin cells and oils that are blocking pores, while the broad spectrum light calms inflammation and kills bacteria, leaving a new, smoother, more even texture and a clear, radiant glow.

A More Natural Treatment of Acne

TheraClear may be right for you if you are experiencing side effects with over the counter prescriptions.  Pretty much anyone is a good candidate for TheraClear, with those who have mild to severe acne the best candidate. The main types of acne that the TheraClear will target is inflammatory acne, nodulocystic acne, comedonal acne, and pustular acne, although all types of acne can benefit. Outstanding results have been seen with both teenagers and adults, and TheraClear is also safe for pregnant woman.

Theraclear requires no pre-treatment gel or anesthetics, and is a very comfortable and easy procedure with one fifteen-minute session providing a for full facial treatment. A non-invasive therapy, it requires no in-office preparation and no recovery time. It is completely painless and reportedly feels more like massage therapy than a clinical procedure. Although there are exceptions, 4-6 treatments are needed for optimal results with a touch-up treatment done every 3-6 months.  The initial treatments must be received 7-14 days apart.

TheraClear: Acne Equipment for Dermatologists

TheraClear is professional acne equipment for dermatologists.  Results differ for each individual.  Some show improvement after 2 or 3 treatments, and others need 4-6 treatments before noticing improvement. Those who have been treated with TheraClear have seen lasting results for three months, and those who are on maintenance regimens have stayed clear for a year or more. Typically, patients results include: fewer breakouts, reductions in the severity of breakouts, reduction in the duration of breakouts and the oiliness of their skin. Based on Theravant research, 85% of patients have excellent results, 10% show satisfactory improvement, and only 5% of patients show little improvement.

Staying Slim by Making Small Changes: The Plank

Being slim isn't about making crazy, extreme changes. This can lead to getting burnt out real fast. Instead, it's the small changes over time that can lead to dramatic results. Case in point: this post from FitSugar.com on how to correctly plank.

You've probably done an elbow plank so many times by now that you know the drill by heart: straight back, belly button pulled in, and palms flat on your mat (trying not to clasp them in prayer pose if possible). But Cassandra Bodlak, group exercise manager at Sports Club/LA, recommends her clients do a slight modification that's a little more challenging: when in elbow plank, flip your hands over so your palms are facing up.
Pressing through an elbow plank with palms facing down will help keep back muscles engaged and clasping hands together in a fist will enlist your chest muscles to help stabilize you, but flipping your hands over will make your plank even more about the core, Cassandra explains. "Performing a plank with palms up [will] disengage some of the support from the muscles of the hand and forearm," she says. In other words, simply moving your hands will help you get on the fast track to bikini-ready abs.
Another reason to go palms up? You'll help unround those hunched-over shoulders. "It takes the pronator teres (one of the major forearm muscles) and positions it in what is called the 'anatomical position' (palms forward when standing, palms up when prone in a plank), which is the most desirable position in which to function," Cassandra explains. "We are all busy typing on keyboards these days, encouraging a particular position of the forearm: palms down. Simply repositioning the forearms in your plank helps to create a balance."
Sculpted abs and looking taller are two great Spring-ready reasons to try the "palms up" modification the next time you're in an elbow plank, but don't worry if making this change has you collapsing into Child's Pose sooner than you're used to. Cassandra offers this encouragement: "When you perform a plank, perform it to the best of your ability in the moment you're in — palms in prayer, palms flat, or palms up, it's probably one more plank than you did yesterday, right? Keep it up!"
