BioCosmetic Center Urges Parents to Consider Appropriate Weight Loss Diet Plan for Their Children

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Phoenix, AZ –BioCosmetic Center urges parents to consider appropriate weight loss diet plan for their children. According to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and National Institute on Aging (NIA), overweight American children and adolescents have only become more obese throughout the past decade.

Eric Jantze of BioCosmetic Center said, “Parents that ignore their children’s weight issues are doing them a great disservice. The number of overweight and obese children is not only increasing, but the severity of their weight issues is increasing as well. This does not bode well for their future health.”

The general health ramifications of being overweight or obese include:

1.    Increased risks for many common illnesses and diseases including but not limited to: cardiac disease, some types of cancer, diabetes, etc.
2.    Decreased overall quality of life
3.    Decreased activity level in most cases
4.    Negative joint health
5.    Negative sleep patterns
6.    Difficulty breathing
7.    Chronic mood issues
8.    Low energy issues

In today’s “look-obsessed” society it is still often believed that being overweight or obese is an appearance issue; many categorize it as strictly aesthetic. This isn’t true. The negative health issues that are created in adolescent years can haunt an individual for the remainder of their lives. Taking action to remedy the situation early on is vital. Most childhood and teen overweight and obese issues can be alleviated drastically by the institution (and follow through on) an appropriate diet plan.

BioCosmetic Center offers all inclusive, personalized programs to aid individuals in obtaining their physical goals. Programs can include any of the following: acne scar removal, liposuction, Botox, weight loss, scar removal, bio-identical hormones, dermal fillers, VO2 testing and more.

Learning About Keloid Scar Removal

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

The scar removal process has become more effective in recent years. This is due to recent laser technology advancements. The laser based procedure of scar removal is now more effective than ever. The incorporation of the latest laser technology makes it possible for practitioners to target more precisely and more efficiently alleviate scarring.

The most popular types of scar eligible for scar removal are keloid scarring and acne scarring. Keloid scarring is most likely a popular choice for removal due to the fact that the scar removal process is most effective against keloid scars. This type of scar is raised off the skin. It ranges in color from brown to pink and it appears as a rubbery lesion, firm and fibrous. It also typically extends beyond the original area of the wound that caused scarring.

Keloid scars are not contagious. They are also benign. These basic classifications leave many in the medical industry considering their removal a voluntary or purely cosmetic procedure. But some argue that there are certain instances in which keloid scar removal is a vital procedure for the patient.

Some of the situations in which keloid scar removal can be considered a vital procedure include:

1. Severe itching related to keloid scarring. It can be in the area of scarring or in the area directly around the scarring. Both can be cause for concern.

2. Pain related to keloid scarring.

3. Growth continuing beyond the original wound boundaries. While almost all keloid scars extend beyond the original boundaries of the wound; in this instance the keloid scarring is continuing to grow after the fact. The growth is especially extensive or problematic.

4. When the texture of the keloid scarring shows signs of change.

5. Inhibited skin movement due to keloid scarring.

Eric Jantze of BioCosmetic Center said, “I used to be surprised that people would call in after completed keloid scar removal procedures to let us know just how much it changed their lives. It no longer surprises me. It obviously makes a huge difference in the lives of many.”

Scar Removal: Know The Basics

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Scar removal has a few basics that need to be considered before action is taken. Attempting to access scar removal services without being aware of the basics often leads consumers/patients into a negative situation where their scar removal services lack professionalism or accuracy.

When deciding to undergo scar removal the most vital element is accessing services through an experienced professional. Experienced professionals will be up to date with the very latest technology making the world of difference in the effectiveness of the procedure. Accessing professional services offers patients a decrease in scarring of up to 70%. This is life changing for many patients.

The most frequent type of scarring bringing individuals to scar removal is acne scarring. But it isn’t the only type of scarring for which scar removal can be effective. If accessed through an experienced professional scar removal can even be effective on Melasma. It’s typically referred to as a pregnancy mask because it is discoloration of the skin and is typically occurring around the eyes.

Melasma is most often affecting women who are pregnant. But Melasma can affect any individual regardless of pregnancy. Other instances that can increase the risk of Melasma include hormone therapy and birth control.

While acne and Melasma are two types of scarring that often bring patients in for scar removal…they are not the only types of scarring. Scarring is a major part of the body’s natural healing process post injury. The type and method of scarring depends upon several things: the location and size of the wound, the person’s age and sex, the race of the individual, and genetic factors.

Keloid scars are raised off the skin, reddish purple, and they typically extend beyond the original wound boundaries. They also tend to grow over time. This is the type of scar for which scar removal is most effective. Other types of scars are called either atrophic or hypertrophic. Treating these types of scars with scar removal has varied results.

Hypertrophic are raised similar to keloid scars, but they can be differentiated by the fact that they are firm, pink and stay within the wound’s original area. Atrophic scars are quite different in appearance. Rather than raised, they appear as pin-like depressions in the skin. They are often a result of acne, but other skin condition can leave similar scarring.

Life changing scar removal can provide drastic boosts to the self esteem, the self image and general confidence. Professional scar removal is effective and beneficial to the individual in ways that are typically unimaginable until the procedure is complete. Talk to a professional today.

BioCosmetic Center Cites Study Indicating that Higher Percentages of Young Adults Approve of Cosmetic Procedures

Friday, June 4th, 2010

BioCosmetic Center cites study indicating that higher percentages of young adults approve of cosmetic procedures. The study was commissioned by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and was conducted by the independent research firm Synovate. According to the study, men and women aged 18-24 had the highest approval rating for cosmetic procedures.

Eric Jantze of BioCosmetic Center said, “We have patients of all ages coming in looking for a wide variety of cosmetic procedures. Some begin the conversation asking about liposuction costs. Others begin the conversation asking about average weight loss using the BioCosmetic Center program. Others start off the conversation saying they want to feel better about themselves and they want a professional opinion on cosmetic procedures that would enhance their physical appearance.”

Other findings offered by the study included:

1.    Men and women are less “embarrassed” by cosmetic enhancement than in years past. 78% of women said they would not be embarrassed if others knew they had cosmetic procedures done and 79% of men said they wouldn’t be embarrassed.
2.    32% of all women said they would consider cosmetic procedures while 20% of men said the same thing.
3.    Men and women with children living in their household were more likely to consider cosmetic procedures than those who did not have children living in their household.
4.    56% of women said they “approve” of cosmetic procedures compared to 57% of men.

Increased approval from the general public could be due to a variety of reasons. The most obvious in today’s cosmetic industry are: increased availability, decreased invasiveness of cosmetic procedure, lower liposuction costs, recent laser technology advancements, increased effectiveness of procedures, etc.

BioCosmetic Center offers all inclusive, personalized programs to aid individuals in obtaining their physical goals. Programs can include any of the following: acne scar removal, liposuction, Botox, weight loss, scar removal, bio-identical hormones, dermal fillers, and more.
