Labels:

Jimmy
I need Information on license to operate a laser machine to remover age spot, on face, hand and tattoos removal. What kind of license do I need? Anyone owns a beauty salon with such a machine should know? Thanks you much.
Answer
The laws and required license vary from state to state. In CA it is illegal for a beauty salon to own and operate a laser to remove age spots and tattoos as mentioned above. A Med Spa may perform these types of procedures, with a physician on staff. What kind of license do you need? It depends on what state you live in. You could be required to be a physician, RN, cosmetologist, aesthetician/esthetician, or some states allow a certified laser technician. I suggest you check with your Medical Board, and Board of Cosmetology.

skin troubles... help!!!! :o?
Q. kay, well im 15 and i eat healthy and everything and exercise and stuff but the thing is i have these REALLY noticeable blue veins underneath my eyes. my friend says i look like a vampire. :o :(. i really hate them, and im staring to get some on the side of my chin. and i HATE it. :'( i feel disgusting. and i dont want laser or anything like that, nor makeup. I'm just wondering is there some kind of cream that would make it go away? or am i screwed. :'( thanks.
Answer
There is an epidemic of under eye bags and circles and pronounced veins and many are reported by those in teens or early twenties. The main reason is reaction to skin sickening toxins in skin care, cosmetic and skin medicating products. Many teenage girls use 20 or more products daily and an alarming number of products contain skin(and health) harming toxins. See this site Skin Deep Cosmetic Database. A Feelgood Resource. The Database tested many thousands of products and identifies which ones are the most harming and those which are non or only minimally harming. So first thing to do is select the none or less harming products.
Then try these safe, natural, tried and tasted treatments that can quickly get rid of them. They really work and have helped many on Answers
This is a response I received from wannabeblue28:
âHi Mukunda M. I have just been rubbing my face with oil using my fingers and hands and It has made a HUGE difference in my complexion after just one night. â¦â¦ My skin looks so much tighter everywhere and i no longer have bags under my eyes! Thank you so much for your post, I have been suffering with acne and under-eye circles since i was young.â
She had seen an answer I gave about how vigorous face massaging with pure natural oils had permanently rid my face of acne AND removed under eye problems. Massage greatly tightens skin under and around the eye area and they go away. Find Answer with a search "Mukunda M vigorous massage to remove eye bags/circles under eye problems
The most helpful ones are:
(Using both hands together) massage with palms and front of fingers held together
(1) Do long up and down sweeps close to nose from chin area up to near eyes.
(2) Do another up and back at an angle from chin point to cheek bone.
(3) Do fast up and down massage close to eye from cheek bones at an angle of 45 degrees (on your crows feet).
Best if do for several minutes daily â will markedly tighten skin in eye area and diminish the circles in the first two or three days. Use any oil. Olive is good.
IMPORTANT: To avoid skin pulling first make facial skin taught by partially opening mouth and pulling lips firmly back against teeth (tightens most of face)
Use any natural oil. Extra virgin olive oil works well for many.
Additionally facial yoga exercises help a great deal. Find on You Tube. Do the âThe lion faceâ and try to hold for 30 seconds. A variation of that is protruding the tongue as if trying to touch tip of nose with tip of tongue.
YOGA MEDITATION is a great help and is easy to do. It enables you to completely relax and gives you deep, restful sleep. 6 or 7 hours of restful sleep is considerably more beneficial than 8 or 9 more hours of non restful sleep. I found Siddha Yoga meditation was the most beneficial.

My dermatologist do not recommend them. Talk to your dermatologist.
Topping the list of factors you can control is no shocker: Sun exposure is agingâs greatest accomplice. âYou hear it over and over again, but thatâs because itâs true,â according to New York City dermatologist David E. Bank, MD, FAAD, âThe sunâs rays break down collagen and elastin in the skin, causing wrinkles.â
Number one rule: stay out of the sun. Like Mario Lopez, he's a Mexican descent, but he won't even stand outside in the sun to do a photo shoot for a tanning lotion. Julianne Moore is one of those, who like to protect her skin from AGING. She walks in the shade. I grow up in Asia for 13 years, so I was dark, but it took more than 13 years to the color I have now. My neighbor only do errands after the sun had gone down.
Best sunscreen: wear denim clothing, floppy hat, or umbrella. They were invented to protect us from the elements.
I've been protecting myself from the sun since I was 9.
1. Because I don't want to look like a farmer.
2. Because I get too hot.
3. I want to look like movie stars & models, they have blemish-free skins.
4. I don't want to look like an old prune or get moles on my neck & face like my aunts.
No matter, I still got Discoid Lupus (Google it), caused from the sun. It took 12 years for them to fade. Tried all kinds of lotions that were prescribed to me, and none of them worked. More & more now I protect myself and I take my wide brim hat everywhere I go, or use an umbrella. Floppy hats are back in style. In Asia, they use umbrella all the time. Here in the States, people started to catch on, and I see people walking w/umbrella, they are used on the beach, and they sell patio umbrellas. It was invented for a reason and also to protect us from getting skin cancer. Wear long jackets, or denim a lot. Even inside a car, the heat alone from the sun can tan anyone.
RE SKIN LIGHTENING:
The FDA have banned 23 more whitening products. Google it. About 17,600,000 results.
The reason cited for the proposed ban is that studies in rodents show "some evidence" that hydroquinone may act as a carcinogen or cancer-causing chemical, although its cancer-causing properties have yet to be proved in humans. Hydroquinone also has been linked with the medical condition known as ochronosis in which the skin becomes dark and thick. Dome-shaped yellowish spots and grayish-brown spots also are observed in ochronosis among black women and men in South Africa, Britain, and the U.S. Ochronosis has been observed in conjunction with hydroquinone use even in persons who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics for a short time. Some studies also report abnormal function of the adrenal glands and high levels of mercury in people who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics. For these reasons, hydroquinone has already been banned in Japan, the European Union, and Australia.
Any skin-lightening products containing hydroquinone would be considered new drugs, according to the proposed FDA regulations. The products would require FDA approval before being sold to the public and would only be available with a doctor's prescription.

Does Simple Skin Care products work good?
Lady Gaga
Answer
Simple Skin Care, organic, or over the counter works, but less products you use, the better for your skin in the long run. It is a billion dollar business, less product poisoning, no matter who made them or how much you spend or how often you use them.
In the beauty industry, there is no industry-agreed meaning for terms like 'organic' or 'natural'. Unlike the food industry, these terms are not regulated for cosmetics which means companies can use these terms pretty freely
Don't believe the hype: "For skin care products, 'organic is not enough,. Some organic products are fabulous, and some are not." ~ Dr. Lisa Chipps , M.D. specializes in removing skin cancer & repairing the resultant wound (laser therapy whiz) in Rodeo Drive.
"Organic skin care products are trendy, but that does not mean nonorganic ones are dangerous," Wendy E. Roberts, M.D. past president of the Women's Dermatologic Society.

Right now I am interested in going to Aveda institute and they listed the variety of programs the have. I'm interested in skin care and I know those two are about skin care, but why are they two separate programs? Please someone explain the difference, it will greatly help.
Answer
Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and with the creation and appreciation of beauty.
Esthiology professionals provide advanced spa services, including facials, hydrotherapy, body treatments, massage therapy, laser hair removal, traditional hair removal services and skin care consultations.

What exactly is a microdermabrasion treatment?
I Love My
Im 20, and I have this coupon for a skin care place for a free 15 minute microdermabrasion.. what exactly does the microderm. do?
Answer
Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed off through the wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come [1] The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia.
Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months.
In the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial spa treatments. These days there are a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion.
The growth of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion systems available. In terms of professional microdermabrasion systems there are two choices:
1. Crystal microdermabrasion Crystal microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin to perform the exfoliating process. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system.
2. Diamond microdermabrasion Diamond microdermabrasion systems operate without the need for crystals. The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it. In both crystals and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are sucked away from the face.
3. Home Microdermabrasion Home microdermabrasion systems are an increasingly popular alternative to professional treatments. These are cheap and very easy to perform, and although not as powerful as professional systems, can produce good results over time. There is a great deal of competition in the home microdermabrasion systems market with most of the big cosmetics and skin care brands launching their own home systems.
Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles "sand" or "polish" the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue. When you use a home microdermbrasion system the surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher. Home microdermabrasion creams with active ingredients, are focused on skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells after microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a home microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

How hard is it to find a Career in Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio?
Labels:
skin care laser
Starr
I am currently a LMT and in school for nursing. I will begin classes in March for Aesthetics. Eventually I would like to work in the medical end of skin care or a spa that offers laser treatments, chemical peels and so on. For now though I would like to know what I am up against as far as job placement in just Aesthetics and how competetive my long term goal is.
Answer
I have been in the professional spa products business for over 10 years. During that time, I've seen a lot of spas open and close and a lot of estheticians move from spa to spa.
It's a hard living and not very stable. Get in with a good spa such as Mario's International in OH. Learn a lot and don't fall into the temptation to start your own spa - they have a high failure rate.
Oh, and take a business class at the local adult school.
Good luck.

Any kind of facial wash, you're leaving something toxic behind, it's not a matter of convenience, it's a billion dollar business that can do more harm than good to your acne. And sometimes we feel entirely virtuous about our skin-care regimen because it's full of SPF-- all year round!-- and cleansers and such. But the truth is, we may not realize that we're overdoing (or underdoing) something that can lead to the very thing we're trying to avoid: dryness, breakouts, accelerated aging, New York dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf. (been giving this same advice for decades, but she's proof enough!).
Take a shower everyday, use washcloth to exfoliate and bath & body wash. Hydrogen peroxide does wonders for acne. Visit their website for more tips & other uses. ONLY $1.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use a bath & body wash like Suave, Irish Spring, Dove Body & Face wash in the shower, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.
The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!
Sometimes just the oil on your face from make up and lotions, even from your hair can travel to your face causing acne to come out. Others, from stress, hormones & diet or foods.
Google: FIVE FOODS TO EAT FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN
All the vitamins & minerals you need for good skin care comes from all the healthy foods you eat from Mother Nature.
If acne's a problem, your pillowcases may be part of the cause. "They collect skin oil, dead skin cells, bacteria, and excess night creams," says David Bank, a professional Dermatology @ Columbia University/New York-Presbyterian Hospital. "But if nothing changed by 6 week the product will never work for you. Time to move on."

"But if nothing changed by 6 week the product will never work for you. Time to move on."

What type of schooling does it take to become a laser technician?
Labels:
skin care laser
Q. I am an licensed skin care specialist but I find that just performing facials isn't perhaps as fulfilling as doing something more technical would be. I live in NJ if that matters. I would like to perform laser hair removal, vein removal, wrinkle reduction etc...what kind of schooling or certification is necessary if any? Or could I just find someone that was willing to train me in these things? Any answers from people in the field would be very helpful. Thank you

How hard is it to find a Career in Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio?
Starr
I am currently a LMT and in school for nursing. I will begin classes in March for Aesthetics. Eventually I would like to work in the medical end of skin care or a spa that offers laser treatments, chemical peels and so on. For now though I would like to know what I am up against as far as job placement in just Aesthetics and how competetive my long term goal is.
Answer
I have been in the professional spa products business for over 10 years. During that time, I've seen a lot of spas open and close and a lot of estheticians move from spa to spa.
It's a hard living and not very stable. Get in with a good spa such as Mario's International in OH. Learn a lot and don't fall into the temptation to start your own spa - they have a high failure rate.
Oh, and take a business class at the local adult school.
Good luck.

Is it safe to use the Proactive after Laser Hair Removal on face?
Labels:

Nadia2012
Just wondering if it's safe to use the Proactive Skin Care Routine after I have Laser Hair Removal treatments done to my face? I know that I shouldn't apply the Proactive products the day of the treatment, but what about the next day and so on? I don't want the product to strip my skin's barrier and increase the risk of irritation. anyone please let me know!
Answer
i wouldn't so it. proactive is known to be harsh on the skin. don't use any scrubs either for the time being.
have they discharged you without teaching? i thought you weren't even supposed to use any soap on your face after hair removal.
please wait for like a week until you introduce your normal skin care regimen. the skin on the face is very sensitive. you might get folliculitis!!!!!
