Precision Aesthetics is the first practice in NYC to offer the newest Thermage CPT advanced Facial 3.0 tips and vibrating handpiece! Always on the cutting edge with Thermage, we will be using these new facial tips coupled with the upgraded handpiece exclusively on every facial Thermage procedure performed in our facility. The improved technology delivers an even greater skin tightening effect than the previous tips with virtually no discomfort! Thermage has managed to achieve these astounding results via breakthrough technology in the following ways:

GREATER SKIN TIGHTENING THROUGH A NEW HEATING ALGORITHM
The redesigned facial treatment tips deliver enhanced heat distribution and uniformity, which lead to improved volumetric heating. A greater volume of tissue is heated to target temperatures and the heating is more evenly distributed across the treatment area. Data from clinical studies demonstrate that the Thermage CPT system heats four times more tissue to therapeutic temperatures than current technologies. This translates into even more skin tightening than what was available with the prior facial tips!

DECREASED DISCOMFORT THROUGH “COMFORT PULSE TECHNOLOGY”
The new Thermage CPT system employs “Comfort Pulse Technology” along with a new vibrating handpiece to enhance efficacy and greatly improve patient comfort. The new CPT technology helps lessen discomfort in the following ways:

1. A new vibrating handpiece offers a clinically proven improvement in patient comfort. In controlled, split-faced clinical studies, comparing treatment of over 40 patients with vibration to treatment without vibration, all patients preferred being treated with vibration.

2. The new energy delivery algorithm interweaves pulsed radiofrequency delivery with cooling bursts mimicking Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation [“TENS”] therapy, to disrupt the brain’s neural response and improve comfort during treatment.

3. The heat is now more concentrated directly into the tissue being treated with less spillage onto the edges of the tip, eliminating that “pinch” at the end of the energy pulse.

If you need an effective eye protection for outdoor recreation like biking or cycling you can buy the Pyramex Mini Safety Glasses. It is quite standard in style and design and doesn't include any tint aside from the black end of the ear supports so nobody can really detect you are using them. It also provides 99.9% protection from damaging UV-A and UV-B rays and is also for sale in many tint tones if you want it other than the basic transparent color. Some eye protection are made specifically for a certain application like the welders welding cutting protection goggles glasses.

Like most welding eye protective equipment and mask it has a dual lens, transparent and tinted which you can instantly swap by flipping it upwards. Not only it shields you from the sparks and debris from molten steel that fly around as you work but also it protects you from the bright light coming from the welding equipment itself. The lens is made of glass to prevent it from burning and the frame also is made of special plastic that is heat and burn resistant.

With many of companies supplying safety eye protection usually it is very hard to choose the best one if you don't know what your alternate options are. You can find different styles for you to consider from. Based on how much you are willing to invest you can purchase it with various kinds of frame components and designs. Because it is intended for shielding your valuable eyes it is a nice idea to obtain the most effective one regardless of the price.

The most common material utilized is the polycarbonate both for the frame and lens due to the impact resistant quality of it. This type of plastic is also very lightweight for extra ease and comfort, best for extended time period of usage and also to reduce exhaustion when working with it. Like many plastics it is also very tough and sturdy and won't easily break just in case you accidentally dropped them. They are also bendable so you can remove them with your one hand while working without worrying it might snap into two. The only disadvantage with plastic is that they are softer than glass, so having it as the lens makes it prone to scratches when come in contact with pointed edged metals and rocks. That is why some manufacturers offer it with a changeable lens which you can readily purchase just in case they become cloudy with scratches instead of purchasing the complete unit. Others supply it with a coated lens for scratch proofing.

Hate That Tattoo? Making Them Easier to Remove

Read full article here...

 

When tattoo artist Brandon Bond heard about a new tattoo ink that could be removed with a single laser treatment, he wasn't just skeptical — he was ticked off. The Atlanta-based designer considers the work he has inked on everyone from rapper 50 Cent to champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to be pieces of art, almost sacred, so marketing them as disposable was nothing short of an insult.

But even as Bond scoffed at the ironically named Infinitink, which just became available this spring, he could relate to Americans' love-hate relationship with their body art. Cherished as symbols of independence and individuality, tattoos now adorn the flesh of a quarter of all adults under 50. Yet recent studies have also found that about a sixth of everyone who gets one winds up regretting it. Case in point: Bond sports two full sleeves' worth of intricate patterns, but admits there are a few designs on his arms that he'd like to erase altogether. "A lot of the stuff I had gotten as a youngster was very subpar," he says. 

With such conflicting sentiments in mind, Harvard dermatologist and professor Rox Anderson developed the biodegradable Infinitink by encapsulating the pigment in tiny plastic beads that dissolve more easily than regular ink when struck by a laser beam. But there was a problem: tattoo artists hated to use it because it was too thin (which made it look washed out) and the micropolymer beads were incredibly expensive, says Bond, who now works as a consultant for Nuvilex, which makes Infinitink.

So the company decided to reformulate its ink and hired a chemical engineer from Dupont, who replaced the expensive beads with a technology, already used in ink jet printers to conserve ink, that helps smaller quantities of pigment create the same vibrant results as regular inks. Ultimately, come regret time, that means there's less ink that needs to be removed, which means less time spent getting zapped by a laser. With this revised formula, Infinitink tattoos still cost as much as 50% more than regular designs, but their removal is a bargain since it requires many fewer sessions — which typically cost $200 to $500 a pop — to shatter the ink into small pieces that get absorbed into the lymph nodes.

The Kitchen Sink

October is finally here and all seems right in the world. Well, except for that whole possible terrorist threat throughout Europe, but let's toss that one aside to the media hype. Suddenly, there's an insatiable craving for anything pumpkin flavored, the brutal wait for an outbound train is even more hellish and it's finally acceptable to admit that you're wearing long-johns underneath your jeans … well, maybe. Life - if only for a mere 31 days - slows down. The hassle of back-to-school assimilation is over and there's a solid amount of time before the holiday madness begins. But there's a distinct somberness breezing through the autumn air.

 

This time last year, we lost three students in the span of a month and a half. In fear of another bereavement notice, opening our university e-mail became a cringe-inducing challenge and the palpable sadness throughout campus couldn't be ignored. Campus was eerie for a while. Whether we knew the girls personally or not, students and faculty appeared to be in a trance, simply going through the motions of attempting to conduct a "normal" day.

Now, a year later, the same solemn feelings seem to have resurfaced. While remembering the students we've lost, it's difficult to stifle the sadness.

Five years ago, I began compiling my most beloved possessions and stashing them away in the little pocket of my bag.  Each held its own sentimental meaning; photographs of my parents, notes from family members and friends and a menagerie of miscellaneous items that I couldn't seem to part with. What began as a minor compulsion soon manifested into toting around a hoarded, material version of the past. Physically carrying around sentimental parts of my past brought a sense of security and the comfort of knowing that remnants of my memories were at my side was oddly comforting.

After moving to Chicago, I toyed with the idea of nixing carrying around the bulk of my most cherished possessions. That thought was merely fleeting. I blame stubbornness. And when my bag was stolen this summer, there was no one to blame but myself. On the plus side, I can now think of myself as a true Chicagoan.Or at least that's what I heard. Whether out of truth or an attempt to placate me, I'm unsure.
