Combining the Newest Non-Surgical Procedures Gives Patients Maximum Rejuvenation with Minimum Recovery
Los Angeles, CA
May 31, 2005 -- Two of the most exciting and groundbreaking procedures to hit the Anti-Aging scene are now being administered in combination at Marina Plastic Surgery, a Southern California medical center focusing on rejuvenation and cosmetic enhancement. Fraxel, a nonablative laser treatment that improves skin texture, tone and coloration and ThermaCool, a "face-lift" treatment that uses radio frequencies instead of incisions to tighten skin and revitalize faces, are now being offered together to achieve synergistic benefits.On their own, these treatments harness the latest advancements in light- and radio-energy aided facial rejuvenation. Not only do the procedures provide excellent results, neither requires traditional surgery. There are no incisions, no sutures, and no long recovery periods. Both treatments target mid-level and deep skin layers to stimulate collagen regeneration, tightening slack skin, smoothing wrinkles, improving skin tone and minimizing or erasing skin discoloration.
"Combining Fraxel with ThermaCool offers our patients a more complete option for facial rejuvenation," said Dr. Grant Stevens. "Together they lift years off the face and all without surgery or painful recovery times." Combined, these two treatments offer patients excellent rejuvenation treatment previously available only by surgery or deep skin peels. Fraxel, FDA-approved in July 2004, is a new development in laser skin programs. It produces similar results as deep chemical or laser peels without the trauma of removing layers of skin.
Fraxel treats the mid-layers of skin instead of the skin surface, stimulating collagen reproduction, minimizing wrinkles and treating skin discoloration. Working similarly to a computer program, Fraxel treats skin "pixel by pixel" instead of as a total surface treatment. By only treating "pixels" of skin, Fraxel allows surrounding cells to remain untreated and able to help treated cells heal faster. Fraxel is the only laser treatment that is approved for all skin surfaces. In the past, laser skin treatments were limited to the face.
Fraxel can be used on the face, neck, chest, back of hands and any other skin surface in need of repair.ThermaCool operates similarly, as a noninvasive "face-lift" treatment. Instead of working "pixel by pixel," ThermaCool treats the deep layers of skin via radio frequencies. By targeting deep layers of the skin, new collagen fibers are generated, creating a firmer and tighter structure under sagging or wrinkled skin. Skin becomes tauter and smoother. Loose skin is pulled back into place, making it an ideal treatment along jaw lines, on the forehead and around the eyes."I have had both treatments and couldn't be happier," said Charlie Sheridan, Director of Marina Plastic Surgery.
"I went through a series of treatments and the results were excellent. My skin was smooth and even, and any tell-tale lines were removed. I have had people compliment me on my beautiful skin without them knowing that I had anything done."Both Fraxel and ThermaCool require a series of treatments. Each treatment is separated by a couple of weeks, allowing the skin to begin the healing process. By combining the treatments, patients are able to harness the strength of each, and build off of their respective strengths.
Healing time periods are much shorter than traditional face lifts and skin peels, allowing patients to return to their normal lives and activities as soon as possible ? looking great.

Laser Hair Removal Side Effects
Lasers are the latest in hair removal technology. Even though the cost is high, people have grown to accept the treatment. In fact, lasers are seen as the best mode of hair removal today. However, the treatment does come with a fair share of side effects, at times with fatal consequences. In January 2005, a woman from North Carolina lost her life when she put received and excessive amount anesthetic cream before the laser treatment.
Edema (swelling of any organ die to excessive fluid) and erythema (redness of skin) are common occurrences post laser treatment.
Some blisters may appear, mainly in darker-skinned patients, who could experience changes such as darkening or lightening of the skin that could last weeks or sometimes months. There is little risk of scarring or infection. However, if the blister is irritated there could be scarring. Clients may suffer loss of freckles, darkening or lightening of tattoo color and discoloration of moles in the areas of treatment....

Color Copiers
Color copiers are digital, and function like a computer scanner attached to a laser printer. After scanning the original, the copier subsequently transfers the information to a charged image drum via laser. Prior to being transferred to paper, the color toner adheres to the charged areas of the drum. As is the case with a laser printer, the final step is to heat the toner on the page to fuse a permanent image.
High-quality and expensive models apply all four colors in a single application, while the comparatively cheaper machines take four passes of the same image, rolling the paper around the drum four times to apply each color. In the cheaper machines, low-end technology also makes for slower copying speeds.
Standard features on digital color copiers in general are border erasing, image centering, color adjustment, and color balancing.
There are a few models that can offer you a whole menu of additional editing functions, like colorizing. Colorizing...

Laser-Based Natural Gas Sensors: Can the Natural Gas Industry Afford To Be Without This Advanced Technology?
(ContentDesk) February 8, 2006 -- Until recently, natural gas producers, processors and distributors have relied on direct contact, surface-based electrochemical and crystal sensors for measurement of moisture in gas. However, these natural gas sensors are often highly unreliable, producing false data that can result in contaminated gas getting through lines and causing system disruptions as well as potentially hazardous conditions.
Now there is a far more advanced and trustworthy monitoring technology available to natural gas producers, pipeline operators and distributors -- a tunable diode laser (TDL)-based technology developed at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech that is highly effective in detection of contaminants in natural gas. SpectraSensors,...
