SPIDER VEINS

July 23rd, 2010

If spider veins are bothersome, they can be treated in your dermatologist’s office. “Laser therapy is the best way to remove spider veins on the face and has been the gold standard for the past 20 years. The veins selectively absorb the laser’s wavelengths of light; this light destroys the blood vessels and restores the skin’s natural appearance. Laser treatment is quick, safe and the results are immediate.”

For smaller veins on the face typically require only a single laser treatment that lasts about 10 minutes. Some people may choose to have a topical anesthetic or ice applied to the area being treated to reduce possible discomfort. Side effects are few and include temporary discoloration of the area treated. There are many other skin problems which are treated with laser… to find out more:  www.arrivacostarica.com

STEM CELLS THERAPY

July 23rd, 2010

Now with stem cells, which have immunosuppressive and immuno modulatory properties, there is more hope for vitiligo patients. Stem cells are injected intra-venous in the body and helps stabilize the spread of vitiligo, and boost pigmentation over a period of time. Fortunately, with recent advances in biotechnology and Melanocyte transplant surgery, such therapy has made it possible for patients to get back their original skin colour.

Veneers

July 22nd, 2010

Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of a tooth like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, and chips or cracks. Those fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shaped teeth. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant, and the color of a porcelain veneer can be selected, so that it makes darker teeth appear whiter. Getting dental veneers usually requires three dental visits.

Imagine a laser procedure that lifts the eyes, with results comparable to an eyelift, making you look younger without surgery or needles. Some dermatologists had created the Madonna Lift procedure, using fractional CO2 laser technology as an alternative for those patients who may not yet require a full blepharoplasty but will benefit from a laser treatment…   to learn more go to: www.arrivacostarica.com

Dental crown

June 25th, 2010

CEREC technology eliminates the need for all of the return visits by milling a new crown in about 30 seconds. Using digital and wireless technology, the physician takes a digital photograph of the tooth and the computer instantly renders a model that becomes the pattern for the crown. The milling machine is in the office and when the dentist sends the information to the machine, it chisels your crown from strong, color matched porcelain material and in only seconds.

Once the crown is made, the dentist simply cements it to the tooth and uses a blue laser light to cure the cement so it hardens right away…. find out more at: www.arrivacostarica.com

LASER ACNE REMOVAL

June 24th, 2010

While radio frequency energy causes the skin to tighten through its warmth, and special kilowatt light rays kills the bacteria, the laser adds to the overall effect in healing and cosmetic enhancement.

Dermatologists previously came to the conclusion that the best way to treat acne is through ultraviolet light. It was then found that these types of UV lights have been known to cause cancer. Today, lasers are the primary and most effective way to treat acne…. to learn more go to: www.arrivacostarica.com

In medicine, lasers are routinely used as cutting tools with the added benefit that their burning action seals and clots a cut immediately. As an example, in laser eye surgery or even ulcer removal surgery, tissue can be removed without damaging surrounding areas.

Combining scientific theory and brilliant engineering, it is one of the most innovative, fascinating, and commercially successful devices ever built. Lasers provide precise, selective and controlled high-power light beams for a variety of uses… more info at: www.arrivacostarica.com
