Essence Treatment

Hair loss is a very controversial subject. A person experiencing this traumatizing problem can easily get lost because of the overwhelming quantity of information available on the internet.

However, the jungle of medical terms is not the only confusing thing. Unfortunately, there are also numerous hair loss myths, especially concerning women hair loss. Some say that hair loss is a consequence of wearing a hat, blow drying, limited brushing, hair color, lack of vitamins, even lack of sexual activity! While there is a seed of truth in some of these statements – for example, excessive blow drying and hair perms can make your hair thinner and easily breakable – such factors do not cause permanent hair loss in the long run.

The reality is much simpler than all this kaleidoscope of notions and superstitions. Do you know the saying: You can’t see the forest because of the trees? The same perspective can be applied to hair loss and not only. We’re so obsessed about a detail or a symptom of our well-being, that we tend to forget that our body is an interconnected system and all processes are linked between them.

Hair loss is generally caused by two main things: genetic predisposition (both in men and women) and an unhealthy lifestyle (especially for women).

Yes, most of the times hair loss is not a disease in itself – it’s just a sign meant to show you that you have to change something about your lifestyle – your habits, your nutrition, your emotional balance and so on. Most people nowadays underestimate the importance of a harmonious life – I’ve even read on some websites that stress and unhealthy habits cannot cause hair loss. Of course, this is true when we talk about long-term, irreversible baldness (especially in men). However, temporary women hair loss can easily be caused by stress, detrimental nutrition, depression, even a polluted environment!

I’ve witnessed many cases of hair loss caused by emotional traumas (a divorce, the death of a relative), exhaustion, lack of sleep or simply the lack of fulfillment in the personal or professional life. While these factors will never cause total baldness and permanent hair loss, they will severely affect the thickness and the shine of your hair.

That’s why female hair loss treatment (especially when we talk about the temporary, non-genetic form of this condition) has to focus on eliminating the cause, not on drinking hair loss pills and vitamins and waiting passively for them to do their work. Transform and improve your lifestyle and your habits – after all, what’s so important that it’s worth losing your health and your beauty for?

Surgical beauty procedures abide by the maxim “No guts, no glory.” However, this is just a euphemism of what they want to say. What they really mean is, “Come to our clinic and let us slash your face with a knife to make you younger-looking.”

Although the saying is positive ― encouraging everyone to be brave in reaching a specific goal ― it could be a little different in the case of cosmetic methods. Because the truth is, in face lifting methods, you need not to be cut by a knife in order to be beautiful! What you need are a little imagination and some non-surgical face lift techniques. And voila! The beauty you wished for can be yours.

Many techniques and procedures of face lift without surgery are available in different dermatological clinics. These methods aim to provide people the appearance that they need in order to have a better self-esteem. The non surgical procedures are more accessible and more convenient than the surgical ones since they are less invasive and less costly. Many people, in fact, choose to undergo these methods since they pose less possibility of complications and side effects. A face lift without surgery also does not require prolonged time of recovery, thus enabling the individual to function normally after a few days of treatment. And most of all, non surgical face lifts are less expensive than the surgical ones. Anyone, and not just the elite, can access the beauty that everyone is dreaming of.

Non surgical face lifts avoid the signs of aging. However, these methods do not treat deeper wrinkles and darker age spots. Also, the effects of a face lift without surgery are not permanent and they only last for several months.

The usual techniques of non surgical face lifts include facial exercises, topical creams, and office procedures.

Facial exercises seem to be the easiest of all. The exercises, like jaw flexing, aim to increase muscle tone. Tutorials are available online. Moreover, topical creams are very affordable and easy to use. They promise to make the skin tighter and younger looking.

Office procedures should be done by an expert dermatologist. These are the less invasive methods of face lifting― less because some of the procedures use needles and injections. They also cost more than the previous options. Among these techniques we can name Thermage (which uses heat generated from radio frequency), Botox (uses a series of injections to reduce wrinkles), Collagen (increases the amount of collagen in the skin), and Photo Treatment (diminishes the signs of aging as caused by sun damage).
