With the combination of two devices is possible to repair stretch marks. Smartlipo Triplex is used to deliver heat precisely to the sub-dermal layer, stimulating significant collagen production in the dermal layer of skin, which leads to filling of the existing stretch marks and skin tightening. Additionally, the increased collagen support in the dermis improves skin’s elasticity and can prevent further stretch marks.” Plus a Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment works by emitting short, scattered pulses of ablative light to only a fraction of the stretch mark creating microscopic wounds stimulating new collagen and epithelium to repair and restore the skin’s elasticity.

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.

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

There are various types of birthmarks and there are various options in how they can be removed,including laser surgery or surgical excision. While birthmarks can be removed in order to enhance appearance and improve self-esteem, they may also be removed in order to reduce the possibility of health risks from occurring. The method used for removal depends upon the type of birthmark and the severity of its condition.

Laser technology may be used in the treatment of severe acne, atherosclerotic plaque, and cellulite. Researchers from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) will present their results at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) 26th Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
The researchers studied the effects of lasers on both human and pig fat to find which laser would not damage the outer skin. They used a Free-Electron Laser facility at Jefferson Lab of a wavelength of infrared laser light with a range of 800-2600 nanometers. They narrowed in the laser selection by first testing different lasers on water. The researchers narrowed in there laser wavelengths that worked best with fat. These wavelengths are 915, 1210, and 1720 nm.
They exposed pieces of intact pig skin and fat tissue samples to the free-electron laser infrared light with the 1210 and 1720 nm wavelengths to see the results. The goal was to target the fat without damaging the skin. The 1210 nm wavelength heated the pig fat 1cm deeper than the 1720 nm.
Dr. Rox Anderson who is the lead author of this study and is also a practicing dermatologist at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) believes that the use of fat targeting laser will have multiple health benefits.
“The root cause of acne is a lipid-rich gland, the sebaceous gland, which sits a few millimeters below the surface of the skin,” Anderson said, “We want to be able to selectively target the sebaceous gland, and this research shows that if we can build lasers at this region of the spectrum, we may be able to do that.”
Dr. Anderson believes that the most beneficial laser treatment they will have is for the treatment of acne. The lasers would be directed at the sebaceous glands. Acne drugs containing isotretinoin, Accutane is the brand name, can have an adverse side effects causing severe birth defects for mothers that have used during pregnancy. The FDA made it more difficult for patients to take the drug by passing two negative pregnancy tests and promising to use 2 different forms of contraception. The women also need to take a pregnancy test each month taking the drug.
Other uses for the laser technology could be for treatment for the removal of plaque build up in the arteries. By removing the fatty buildup it could reduce the amount of people that suffer from heart disease and stroke.
It would be very likely to see the laser treatment being used to melt cellulite which causes the skin to be textured and not smooth. It would be some time to perfect this technology and the study at this time is only preliminary.

Happy with your health insurance? Its probably because you’re healthy and don’t really need it. But when you do get sick, you may discover your insurance doesn’t cover as much as what you thought.
Just when you have the least physical and emotional ability to cope, you find yourself dealing with a financial and bureaucratic nightmare of claims that are refused, and procedures and medications that are denied by an anonymous insurance administrator telling their doctor what they can and cannot prescribe.
Saying the U.S. has the best health care in the world doesn’t make it so.
The World Health Organization ranks the U.S. health-care system 37th, between Costa Rica and Slovenia, behind three South American countries and well behind the much-maligned UK and Canadian systems.
While it’s true we have some of the best technology, research and training for doctors and nurses, if Americans can’t access them, it doesn’t make much difference how great it is. French cuisine is arguably the best in the world, but try telling that to the starving 18th century French peasants who because of their hunger and other sufferings, started the French revolution.
While false fears run rampant about “pulling the plug on Grandma” and government funds for abortion, there seems to be little regard for people between the age of 0 and 65 who are dying, suffering or going bankrupt because they just can’t afford the health care they need.
In this, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, every child, every person, should have access to health care. No parent should have to wait until their child gets so sick that the emergency room is the only option. No one should have to divorce an ailing spouse in order to avoid bankruptcy or poverty. No one should die because they can’t afford to be treated. Access to affordable health care, like freedom and democracy, is a moral issue.
Many insurers and employers, meanwhile, are discovering Costa Rica for exceptional medical and dental care. For more information, please go to www.arrivacostarica.com

Many Costa Rican hospitals and clinics have received certification that puts them on par with U.S. medical centers, a move that national competitiveness authorities know will boost this country’s profile as a prime destination for medical tourism.
Following a six-month review process, the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Facilities (AAAASF) has certified several private surgical and ambulatory centers, such as UNIBE hospital, And top JCI accredited hospitals, or soon to be accredited, include CIMA Hospital, Hospital Clinica Biblica, and La Catolica Hospital.
“The international accreditation of health services allows us to position ourselves among countries such as the United States, where patients are looking for certified qualified,” said Dr. Jorge Cortés, president of the Council for the International Promotion of Costa Rican Medicine (PROMED).
The vast majority of Costa Rica’s medical tourists come from the United States, whose population in many cases lacks affordable health care. Many procedures here are as little as one-third the cost, or less.
Nearly 13 percent of the medical tourists who visit Costa Rica seek cosmetic surgery procedures, while another 35 percent come for dental work, according to a study by the Competitiveness Ministry. In the U.S., insurance companies are beginning to catch on, offering to chip in for travel packages to this Central American country. For more information, go to www.arrivacostarica.com
