VaserLipo: Even Better Than SmartLipo

What is Vaserlipo-Selection? What if you could...

... remove your unwanted fat without the level of pain associated with liposuction?

... enjoy a new body is also smooth as it is shapely?

... precisely contour problem areas that cannot be addressed by diet and exercise?

Vaserlipo-Selection combines new technology with advanced surgical techniques to break up and remove fatty tissue. Unwanted fat can be efficiently removed from abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, back, arms, male breasts, love handles, chin and neck areas.

The Vaser System uses ultrasonic energy to break up fat, leaving surrounding tissue - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue - relatively intact. Vaserlipo's ultrasound technology can intelligently select tissue so that areas are precisely targeted, leaving surrounding tissue basically undisturbed. A thin probe is inserted through a small incision in the treatment area. The probe will release ultrasonic waves that break own the fat into a liquid that is removed with suction and massage.

Because each person has a unique body type, fat storage may differ from one person to another. And for some, even the most rigorous of diets and exercise training programs may fail to get rid of extra body fat. With Vaserlipo, precise and targeted body shaping is now possible!

Body Whitening: Is It For You?

A lot of people desire to whiten their skin, that’s why many skin-whitening products are now available in the market. With so many choices, how do we know which is the right one for us? Some may have unwanted side effects while some may work wonders on our skin!

Skin-whitening products work in different ways. Some contain acids that remove old skin to reveal newer, lighter skin underneath. Others restrain melanin, like those creams and serums with mulberry extract, licorice extract, and hydroquinone.

One of the latest treatments is Glutathione. Recognized as an anti-oxidant and immune-system booster, Glutathione neutralizes harmful free radicals, flushes away toxins, supports cell health and integrity, and strengthens immune system activity. With the right diet, glutathione can be found in a diet rich in fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables , fish , and meat .

But with pollution in air, chemicals and pesticides in our food, and even stress and bad habits like smoking, toxins can make their way into our bodies, and can cause harm to our cells if left unchecked. This depletes the glutathione in our body. Further, a deficiency can be the result of diseases that increase the need for glutathione.

Injectible glutathione supplementation can help strengthen your immune system. But aside from this benefit, the lightening of the skin due to increased levels of glutathione is perceived by many as a desirable side effect.

At the end of the day, the right product would depend on what our desired results are.

Dr. Pie Calayan says that the first step to selecting the the right treatment would be to see a licensed dermatologist. A dermatologist will examine your skin type and will help you decide on the best product or service for you.

Here are some recommended services from Dr. Manny Calayan:

• Injectible Body Whitening

Health And Safety Tips For Rainy Days

Doctors Manny and Pie Calayan bring you some reminders on how to stay safe and healthy during this rainy season.

We all know how tempting it is to succumb to “bed weather”, i.e. staying in bed longer than usual, with a bag of potato chips and soda, while the temperature drops and the rains pour. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Manny says, “Beware of bad eating habits during the rainy season! Make sure you watch your diet and eat the right nutrients only.”

And watching what you eat means not just counting your calories, but also being aware of how the food you consume is prepared, says Dr. Pie. “Make sure the food you eat is prepared in a hygienic manner. During the rainy season, incidents of food and water-borne diseases such as viral fevers, diarrhea and hepatitis increase.” As much as possible, avoid raw food, food sold by street vendors, and drink boiled water.

Here are more health tips from Drs. Calayan:

• Avoid over-eating
  
• Eat meals regularly
  
• Eat home made food, but make sure it has less fat content
  
• Try to keep household goods dry, such as tableware
  
• Throw away old or stale foods without hesitation
  
• Maintain a regular sleep routine
  
• Wash your hands frequently
  
• Pay more attention to ventilation than air-conditioning
  
• Take a shower when you sweat or get wet rather than just dry off
  
• Always bring an umbrella or raincoat
