Since being approved by the FDA, fraxel laser has fast become one of the most exciting and popular laser skin treatments. Fraxel laser is an effective form of treatment for a variety of skin problems which include:

• Melasma
• Acne scarring
• Surgical scarring
• Age spots/brown spots
• Skin rejuvenation
  

Fraxel laser works by removing old epidermal cells from the skin and stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen, resulting in it becoming firmer and more youthful in appearance. Fraxel laser also helps erase excessive pigmentation by producing thousands of tiny columns deep in the skin known as microscopic treatment zones which eliminate old epidermal pigment cells. The reduction in pigment cells results in a reduction in the visible appearance of age spots and the brown patches of melasma.

Additional benefits of fraxel laser treatment include its minimal side effects and the fact that it is suitable for all types of skin colours. After a session of fraxel laser treatment some redness and swelling is common which usually subsides within two to three days. However there is very little risk of scarring or infection with fraxel laser treatment.

The Hurlingham Clinic in London is one of UK’s leading fraxel laser clinics which can be contact on 020 7348 6380 for more information on fraxel laser treatment.

Choosing a good cosmetic surgeon to perform your cosmetic surgery is essential. But how do you find a good cosmetic surgeon? Although there is no single definite answer to the question there are definitely some useful guidelines which you can follow to find the right cosmetic surgeon for your cosmetic surgery procedure.

 

Below are six tips which should help you in finding the right cosmetic surgeon: 

 

1. Is the cosmetic surgeon you are thinking about choosing for your cosmetic surgery registered with the GMC? All UK qualified cosmetic surgeons are members of the General Medical Council. You can check whether your cosmetic surgeon is registered with the GMC on the GMC website.
2. Alongside being members of the GMC, all qualified plastic surgeons (cosmetic surgeons) who are accredited in the UK are listed on the Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery. If you are considering having cosmetic surgery in UK then you should check with your surgeon whether he or she is on the register.
3. Do you feel comfortable with the cosmetic surgeon? Always remember that having cosmetic surgery is a very personal decision and that you should feel comfortable expressing your wishes and needs to your cosmetic surgeon. You should not base your decisions on qualifications only. Choose a cosmetic surgeon who listens to your requirements and understands your individual needs.
4. What experience does the cosmetic surgeon have in performing the particular cosmetic surgery that you will be having? For example is this the first time he will be performing that particular cosmetic surgery or the 500^th time.
5. Where will the cosmetic surgery be performed? Is it convenient for you?
6. What about the other staff who will be looking after you such as the nursing staff? Do you feel comfortable with them? Remember to take a holistic view on the matter as you will require post operative care and a good follow up management plan after your cosmetic surgery.

Its that time of year when many of us are returning from holidays in the sun.  With temperatures in the Med hitting 35 degress, some sun damage is inevitable.  Good news, we can help to reverse some of this damage when you return by using the new Exposure Glyco Programme, with pure glycolic acid suitable for home use.  The Glyco Programme helps to correct surface discolouration, improve skin tone, reduce pore size, improve circulation and rebuild collagen.  I have been using this for 4 weeks now and my skin definately looks brighter and more even toned - even my pores seem to be shrinking!  I recommend this product to anyone who feels like giving their skin an overhaul after either too much sun or too much partying!  If you have ever tried the Obaji programme and found Retinova to be too harsh for your skin type,  then the Glyco Programme could be for you...
