Acne Scar Chemical Peel - How Does an Acne Scar Peel Work?

By Eileen Childs

There are different methods for removing scars caused by acne. One of the methods is through the use of an acne scar peel. Peels have been shown to be very effective and many people are even applying these treatments at home.

Acne can often leave unwanted holes, marks or scars on the skin. The good news is, mild acne scars will often go away on their own. This happens when the skin sloughs off old dead skin cells, leaving new skin cells below. If your scars are not very deep, the skin will heal itself through this process over time. Unfortunately this is not the case with moderate or severe scars. Because they are deeper, they usually do not have the ability to go away on their own.

Facial peels work through the use of chemicals applied to the skin that burn off the top layers of skin, exposing new layers underneath. Common types of chemical peels include phenolic peels and glycolic acid peels.

Chemical facial peels have been proven to be a very effective way to remove scars and marks left by acne. A facial peel can be performed by a doctor or at home. Doctors have access to stronger peels than the ones that are used at home. When stronger peels are used, it could involve a longer time to recover, may involve a hospital stay and can cost as much as $3,000.

At home, you can use an FDA approved peel like the ones made by Skin Culture USA. These peels work by depriving the skin of oxygen, which causes the top layers of skin to peel off. Skin Culture offers peels in different strengths, depending on your individual needs and cost between $100 and $200.

Obviously cost and the severity of your scars are an important factor when deciding whether you will choose an at home peel or one done by a doctor. Fortunately, you can significantly improve the appearance of your acne scars by using an at home facial peel, even if they do not go away completely. - 15255

Spinal Decompression For Herniated Discs

By Randall Pruitt, DC, DACNB, DAAPM, MUAC, CES-NASM

Life has a way of wearing us down and causing certain structures to deteriorate accidents can do the same. As we age, our spines are prone to degeneration and wear and tear. Accidents can cause similar results or worse. In both cases, the discs are highly prone to damage and can suffer from injuries such as bulging or the material actually breaking completely though the outer portion of the disc. When that happens it is called a herniated disc.

So what are the best ways to determine if you have a herniated disc? Or where the damage has occurred, is it in the lower back, neck, or upper back. You may experience numbness, pain and weakness in a particular area. The most common area however, is the lower back.

Usually we order an MRI or a CT scan in order to rule in the diagnosis of a herniated disc and rule out some other more serious problem. Depending on the severity of the case, the pain may last for weeks or months or even years. In most of the cases I see, the pain has been there for many months and is getting to the point of becoming disabling.

Because of the frequency with which herniated discs occur, there are many treatments that have been developed to treat them.

Some of the most commonly used traditional medical options for herniated discs include physical therapy, where the therapist designs an exercise program specifically for the patient, Stretching, yoga, and Pilates are also often prescribed. Doctors will also attempt to alleviate the pain by prescribing medication, performing spinal injections or recommending surgery.

In my experience most of these treatments don't offer a long term solution. That is why people seek out my office and spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is by far the most successful treatment I have seen for the treatment of disc pain in the lower back and neck.

I personally use the DRX9000 in my office. In the past 10 years I have offered spinal decompression to thousands of patients and have seen the most remarkable results. It provides a highly desirable alternative to invasive surgery.

The Understanding of the use of theDRX9000 is quite easy to comprehend. Since the main issue is in the treatment of herniated discs the treatment is ideal. It works by reducing the pressure in the disc until such time that a vacuum is formed. This vacuum reduces the herniation and decreases the pressure on nerves and other pain sensitive structures, reducing the feelings of pain and the disability.

Treatments using spinal decompression typically last 4-6 weeks and usually consist of 20 sessions. This is also combined with comprehensive core strengthening and spinal rehabilitation to deal with the muscle weakness that accompanies herniated discs.

Herniated disc pain can be a life altering experience and knowing where to turn can be difficult. If you don't treat the actual problem you virtually guarantee another episode so it is best to choose a treatment like spinal decompression for a long term solution - 15255

ABCs of Armpit Hair Removal

By Katrina Pells

Armpit hair usually starts growing during the ages of puberty. The growth of the armpit hair however varies from person to person since some may have hair that grows in a widespread manner while others grow their on a concentrated patch.

There are two theories as to the uses of armpit hair. One is that it attracts pheromones which are chemicals that discreetly transmit the message to other humans of your sexual readiness or prowess. The second theory is that armpit hair lessens the friction between your upper arm and body when doing laborious activities. However, it is said to be no longer of use to us now due to advancement in tools and technology which have decreased the need for our body to exert too much vigorous labor and assertion.

People have different reasons for armpit hair removal. If you are thinking of armpit hair removal, don't let some of the popular beliefs on armpit hair removal turn you off because they might actually be just myths.

One common belief is that hair will grow back thicker once it is removed. This myth may have started because when new armpit hair starts to grow, one can feel irritation and ingrown hairs can make the armpits seem more inflamed and darker than before.

Another belief is that only promiscuous individuals shave off their armpit hair. There is no basis for this belief because some religions and cultures even encourage their people to remove armpit hair as a sign of cleanliness so that odor causing bacteria won't start living in the armpit.

Where It All Ends

Women are more concerned with removing their armpit hair as compared to men. Some people may not want to shave but are forced to because of sweat gland problems. They have to remove the hair so that deodorants and antiperspirants can be more effective in making the underarm skin dry. Although more common in females that in males, some men undergo armpit hair removal treatments maybe because they want to feel cleaner or as an athlete they are required to do this because it will help reduce friction when they perform.

Somebody once said that cavemen used two clamshells for a pair of tweezers. Now that is just a thing of the past. With the advancement of technology also came the advent of more convenient ways for armpit hair removal.

The most common method for armpit hair removal is shaving. One can either use electric or wet razors but the important thing is that you take a hot shower before shaving to make it easier on yourself because this helps make the underarm hair softer. If you are afraid that you might hurt yourself by using a sharp object on your skin then you should use depilatories or armpit hair removal creams.

Another solution is waxing. If you want to spend less time on removing your armpit hair then maybe you should get laser armpit hair removal treatments. The cost for the visits can be expensive but in the long run you get to save because you just need to have the procedure done after every several months. However, if these techniques seem too complicated for you, there is still no harm in going with the natural look as long as you keep your underarms clean and free of odor causing bacteria. - 15255

Why You Must Do Aerobic Exercise Only Twice

By Caleb Lee

Aerobics (long, steady state sub-maximal cardio) aren't smashing for various health or fat loss related benefits. I've already done a post on why aerobic's inefficient for fat loss. In addition, I look into the health benefits of interval training against steady-state aerobics in my interval training for fat loss article.

Then again I must admit aerobic exercise has its place. It can be an effective tool in stripping away stubborn body fat in the areas men get it most (the abs) and women (butt, hips and thighs) But only if you do it on one of these two occasions (and I'll explain why also!):

Time #1 You Should Do Aerobics: After Interval Training

First let's look at what intervals and aerobics do in your body

Steady state target heart rate cardio (aerobics). Makes use of fat for energy, but the problem is it takes a long time to workout for the body to start utilizing fat as energy for this type of cardio.

Above average intensity interval training. Burns glycogen and releases fatty acids into the blood stream, but it doesn't use those fatty acids for energy, which means they get redeposited into the fat cells.

Here's how you acquire the both of best worlds:

1. Execute your 12 minutes or less of interval training

2. Hang around 5 minutes

3. Do 20 (maximum 30) minutes of steady state cardio (aerobics)

When you do it this way, the HIIT followed by 5 minutes rest guarantees a large release of fatty acids into the blood stream, which means you're guaranteed to be burning fat as fuel when you do your aerobics! Neat huh?

Time #2 You Should Do Aerobics: After Weight Lifting

Powerful weight lifting is incredibly akin to High Intensity Interval Training in the effects that it has on your body, the fuel it uses, and the like. So the only other time you should do aerobic cardio is after your weight lifting.

I advise 20-30 mins of low-medium concentration steady state cardio after weight lifting.

Why You Must Know This

CNS overload: If you're lifting extremely, dealing with strength, doing low reps with heavy weights 3x per week, you're working your central nervous system to enhance your strength (mainly). Interval training on your "off" days may be too much of a good thing for some people, steady state aerobics after weights is a good preference if that's you.

Stubborn fat: If you're already around 10-12% body fat (guys) or 15-17% bf (women) and you need to get SUPER ripped, then you should employ the HIIT followed with aerobics in this case. It will help strip away those last stubborn pounds. - 15255

What About The HJ 112 Pedometer From Omron

By Ron Packardy

The HJ 112 pedometer from Omron is one of the best pedometers available today. It strikes an impressive balance between features, price, and usability, resulting in a pedometer that's suitable for everyone, enthusiasts and occasional users alike.

The great thing about this pedometer is that you can carry it in your pocket, purse or bag, and it still works amazingly well. It will keep accurate track of your steps, distance and calories burned.

I like this pedometer because it has such an easily readable display with easy to use buttons, which is a surprise on something so compact. If you'd rather carry it on your belt, there's a detachable holder and strong security strap.

It's supposed to last up to 6 months using the replaceable lithium battery, which with an average of 10,000 steps per day works out as a lot of walking!

It was a close call between the HJ 112 and the HJ 720 ITC, but when I compared all the features and price ..etc, the HJ 112 won. Both pedometers can be kept in your pocket, but in the end I decided I didn't need the software that came with the HJ 720.

By the way, you might be wondering if you can use this pedometer for jogging. Well, you can. In fact that's what I use it for. Ok, so I didn't know I was going to be jogging when I bought it, but after a few weeks of regular walking, it's amazing how much fitter you will feel.

I actually have a small circuit that I walk around, but after a while I had the urge to jog for a bit then walk again ..etc. Pretty soon I was jogging more than I was walking, although I'm sure I wouldn't have done that without the HJ 112.

So, if you need a good pedometer that won't let you down in a hurry, then the HJ 112 is probably as good a choice as any, especially if you don't need all the extra software and stuff.

It won't matter if you're not buying this for yourself because the HJ 112 also makes a great gift. It's really easy to use and has everything you need to keep track of your activity.

Not only is this a very cool gadget, it's also a really practical gift that will actually help them to stay healthy. Personally, I think that's a great way of showing someone you really do care about them. - 15255
