Essential Oils

There has been much debate about the validity of the magic of essential oils. The conclusion is that in humans, odors are related to not only food and sexual activity, but to social and psychological well-being. With respect to health, exposure to unpleasant odors will not only decrease productivity on the job, but will also increase the illness rate. The body's response to an odor is extremely complex, and evidence does not substantiate whether it is a result of a direct chemical effect or of simply a recognition factor, but it does have an impact on our entire body. Such impact will also vary depending on whether we...

The Truth About Beauty

Mastering the Business of Aesthetics seminar! This weekend I went to a seminar covering medical aesthetics. During the entire session, we learned techniques for skin rejuvenation and more. However, the greatest realization was that what we find beautiful is simply a means to guarantee our survival and spreading of our genes. Some of the issues discussed that caught my attention follow: 1- As you know, the most prominent part of our face is our eyes. Wide eyes are a sign of youth by resembling how kids open their eyes. 2- People prefer light eyes. Why? Because we can see our pupils better. When a woman is attracted to a man, pupils...

Melanomas

Rarely it has happened that a client undergoing a cosmetic laser procedure in Miami, laser skin tightening in Miami, or skin rejuvenation will notice irregularities on their skin after the treatment. While these are not caused by the procedure, these can be uncovered by it, which is a positive awareness for the client. There are many skin disorders that we will be discussing, but our topic for today is Melanomas. Melanomas are derived from melanocytes. When these cancerous lesions have a high potential for invasion and metastasis, these are classified as malignant. They usually occur in sun-exposed areas, but can also occur anywhere in the body, including the eyes! However, even if these...

Are You Protecting Yourself from Infections?

What are the some methods for preventing the spread of infection? Just like our grandmothers say, washing our hands can go a long way. The CDC recommends...

After talking with many of my clients and helping them achieve their wellness goals, it is obvious to me that we are going through an extremely positive transformation in our relationships. The reasons for marriage are changing and happiness is now one of them. Not that it wasn't before, but in the past, the ability to make it in life was more of a priority. As the world evolves and our right brain gains more importance, feelings are now a priority. Now more than ever, this century new marriages are a result...

Harmful Effects of the Sun

How do we protect ourselves from the harmful effects of the sun? No method will grant 100% protection. 1) Physical blockers (e.g., zinc ozide, titanium dioxide). 2) Chemical blockers. New version of physical blockers that have been modified to not result in the ugly white rub could potentially result in free radicals, but because these do not penetrate deeply in the skin, are considered safe. Chemical blockers can result in chemical reactions that produce free radicals. By adding topical and systemic antioxidants, we can help prevent skin sagging. ...
