it's expensive, the bottle is too flexible for goodshower use, and it's conditioning power isn't as good as the enfusereconstructor's! i mean, it's fine, but for its price, it should be great . the smell is a bit papaya-ey, which is all right, butagain, i like the herb-ey smell of enfuse much more. control freak frizz control and straightener conditioner and serum i have not tried this. but according to gina, these two products(conditioner and serum) are great together.

Better than the graham webb (though withoutthe cool ice effect) and better than the phyto organics, but still notthe best I've ever tried. infusium 23 pro-vitamin hair treatment leave-in hair conditioner. liquidy, so a little weird to put on. butit seems to do a good job of keeping my hair somewhat soft andnon-strawlike. styling agents short sexy hair rough and ready styling gunk i love this smell, which is weird, because it is a little more on the flowery side than what i usually like. but it has an undertone of mango or persimmon or something that just makes it fabulous. plus the texture of it---pretty thick but not too thick---is absolutely perfect for clumping up my hair into spikes. the problem is when the gunk dries; it's all hard and poky, while i'd rather have it stiff but flexible. oh well. bumble and bumble sunday shampoo light and refreshing---and powerful! but the smell is a teensy bit too fruity for me (i'm more an herbal gal). but it was a nice present from m. head wear gloo i really like the way this stuff makes my hair all tacky and pokey. but the container is awful! it's shaped, ha ha, like a glue bottle, which means it's difficult to get the last extra bit out. which sucks. ice controller gel (from a sample package) not too stiff, which means not too strong a hold, either. but i liked the light, fresh smell. iso multiplicity, tactile too expensive for the tiny tiny bottle. plus it dried crunchy, rather than mushy or sticky. still, the smell was nice. and the color was a lovely pastel blue. head wear phytophusion, pliable putty i didn't like it. it was all gritty and hard to smear over my hair, which made it bad for styling. but my big caveat is that i bought it and forgot about it for a year before i used it. so maybe when it's fresh it's not that bad. head games, wound up though described as an elastic styler, it actually comes out as a hard gel. which i don't like. but it's too bad, because the color is just gorgeous---a deep blue with flecks of gold. if only it had a springy elastic hold! artec texture paste nice, light, somewhat melony smell. but the hold was a little bit too light. still, if i wasn't as wedded to my spiky hairdo and more into a softer something or other, i'd use it again. joe grooming compound mellow smell, a wee bit lighter in hold than i like, but it's very sweetly creamy, in a way that i enjoy. i'd use it again. paul mitchell wax works really great. it's got a light, fresh-feeling hold, without much oily feel. plus it doesn't have too strong a fragrance. joe grooming cream it's has a slightly lighter hold than i usually like, but also has a nice creamy herby smell. funk plasticine manipulator great light teal color, not too fragrant, nice goopy hold. too bad it's so hard to find in stores. nolita styling glue i like the smell and its gluey texture when wet. i don't like how it dries crunchy, though. redken rough paste i like the styling effect---able to make lumped spikes without getting too crunchy. but it smells vaguely caramelly, which i don't like. plus there's not enough for the money. provitamin fx funky effects makes my hair too crunchy, plus the smell is a weird round chemically smell. not a fan. spiker distortion i loved this. provides the gooey, gunky, tight hold that i love. smells a little fruity, but not too much. d:fi d:tails pomade. nice smell, not too stiff, not too flexible. good blue color. i'd buy it again. short sexy hair frenzy great hold, and i like the fact that it's light purple in color. but i don't like the fruity smell (far too strong), and i hate the container. it's misleadingly huge, but really doesn't contain nearly as much as it seems because so much of it is a solid block of plastic. joico con-text really nice strong hold, smell a teensy too fruity for my tastes, but not too much over the top. the container is annoying, though, because it doesn't let me get the very very last bit of the paste out, and i like being able to do that. american crew forming cream american crew is my favorite salon product line ever. the smell is nice and spicey, and the hold is good for my flexible-spike look. plus the container is brown and a nice green. sebastian threads the smell is a wee bit too flowery, but not too bad. but the hold isn't stiff enough for me to use as a spiker. maybe if i was going for a more conservative flattened look. short sexy blonde, slept in good, flexible hold. but the smell is too fruity! attracts the wasps. that's a drawback. redken rewind it's smells a bit frou-frou, but i kinda like it. the hold is lighterthan i usually like, but i do like how my hair isn't all crunchy fromusing it. and i like how it's blue. aquage transforming paste smells kinda lotion-ey, but very strong and sticky. costs too muchfor the amount you get, though. head wear mucked up it's a little too light, but the texture is exactly the rubberytexture that's my favorite. plus it's a light shimmery blue! i can'tquite place the smell, though--there's some kind of exotic fruit (guavamaybe?) mixed in with something chemically. the minus is that there isn'tenough in one carton. head games messed-up madness pretty decent for putting together a scruffy look. plus the smell isnot too overpowering. xtah roxx not a fan. the jello-like texture is fun...for a second. but thesmell's not great and it comes out too stiff and it leaves my handsfeeling weird and dried. wella liquid hair kryptonite pluses: bright neon lime green! super stiff! minuses: sometimes idon't want super stiff. d:fi d:struct, pliable molding creme great at what it does in that it molds well and stuff. it suffersfrom the same defect as the tigi bed head manipulator -- it's waaay toopina colada-ey. well, maybe manipulator is a wee bit more, but still, thesmell is too strong for me. fun, though, and i like the matte look itgives. tigi bed head creative genius very pretty container, very pretty colors. not quite what I want formy hair, though. my hair comes out too stiff, too crunchy from thisproduct. and it doesn't even make my hair stick together in thick spikes,like I like. plus the bottle's inconveniently shaped for getting the lastlittle goo out of it (i.e., you can't stand it upside-down). oh well. head games bizarre twist stiff stuff, kind of like american crew fiber, except just a smidgeonlighter. good watermelon-ey smell. got2b shocking one of those glowey-type styling products. i actually like it, exceptfor the mild coconut part of the smell (the fruity part, though, isactually kind of nice). the texture's great -- a little rubbery, nottoo crunchy. plus it really glows! which is great, except when it getson your hands and you go to a club and you look like a radioactive freak.though maybe that's good, your choice. liquid hair wrecked this is it . something like rubber rage, but cheaper. not asgood, true, but gives that great rubbery springy feel without all thatextra price. worth it, definitely. phyto organics creative sculting putty definitely succeeds at making my hair spiky, but creates a stiff feelthat i don't quite like. d:fi firm hold hair wax a lighter hair wax than the bumble & bumble, with a nicer smell. butit doesn't quite make my hair clump in the way i want it to clump. ohwell. bumble & bumble sumowax nice glass jar (oh so red and heavy), weird smell. super strong. iuse it to slick down the shorter parts of my hair. tigi bed head rubber rage "rubber for your hair." amazing stuff. i am a fan. it provides tonsof hold, and is super-light. makes my hair fascinatingly springy and,well, rubbery. i adore it. it is waaay too expensive, though. kms hair play styling grit when the hair salon person recommended this to me, i was suspicious.but now i love it! okay, the smell is still on the fruity side, but itdoes wonders for making my hair spikey and rumpled, all at once. comes ina pretty green container. citre shine shine mist spray laminator a pretty good shiner that you can get from cvs or osco or walgreens orwhatever. not as good as liquid hair, but pretty good. wish it smelledmore citrusy, though. iso multiplicity glosser it'd be great, except for the fact that it's also way too expensive.and smells like bubble gum. but it's a pretty good glosser, in general,with a few drops working wonders on my hair. and it has it's fungimmicks! like how it has this this crazy two-color design where you haveto shake it to make a purple emulsion. or like how when you rub it, itgets warmer. get it as a gift for someone, if you buy it at all. umberto giannini sleek and chic straightening glossserum does a reasonable job of straightening myall-too-chemically-maltreated hair, which often gets frizzy in the summer.no fragrance, either, for those of you who worry about that kind of thing. wella liquid hair i can't begin to praise this stuff more. it's supposedly a glossingspray, but it does wonders for detangling, too! and it really smoothesmy hair, especially when it's all frizzy from overbleaching. i bet ginawould love this. i do. plus it smells great, in a very very light kind ofway. pro vitamin molding maniac for stuff you can get at the drugstore, awesome! but pink. the smellis not too heavy, and it has just the right hold, without being too tootacky. but it's pink. fudge hair shaper bought a very small sample of this. like tigi bed head, it smellslike pina colada (even more so than tigi bed head), but is different inthat it's cream-colored, less sticky, and more gooey. i'm not a fan, butman do i want a pina colada smoothie now. artec textureline texture shine moderately light, with a great (and not too strong) melon smell. thismight be my favorite daily styling agent. note: i tried this on my brother, and he said it was much too light tospike his hair. american crew fiber super thick (almost solid, until you really really dig your fingersinto it), pretty good hold, and the smell is a light lemony citrus smellwith some herb mixed in. it's perfect, the smell that is. note: i tried this on my brother, to marvelous effect. his hairstayed mussed and spikey after much jumping up and down and shaking hishead around. *this* is the hair product he says he would wear if he wentout, but he does not. tigi bed head manipulator smells like pina colada, which some like, but i personally don't. butboy does it have hold. you can make twists with this product that stayfor days. i've heard it's all right for that spiky look too, but my hairisn't short enough to try. it's also light blue, which i like. note: i tried this on my brother, and he said it was okay for spikinghis hair. moderate hold, which was lost after his jump- around- and-shake- test. another note: DO NOT TAKE THIS ON AN AIRPLANE WITH YOU. the metal capdoes not seal very well, and i think the slightly lower pressures involvedin air travel makes the goop expand and spill out of the container. iwent through two "accidents" before i gave up putting it in my travelpack. sebastian molding mud a very very odd product. tiny fibers that bond to hair! itsays. smells like light apricot, which i'm not crazy about. starts outgrainy, but turns stringy as you rub it. not great for hold, but if youwant to tie your hair up and have hair sticking out together in thickbunches, this is the product for you. xtah vinyl fabricator pretty strong stuff, but kind of too sticky for my tastes.interesting odor of licorice. coloring and de-coloring agents y.s. park white bleach bought while in japan. thought it'd be less harsh to my asian hair.it is (my hair doesn't completely become straw afterwards), but it doesn'tbleach as well as other bleaches i've tried. i suppose that's thecompromise. another problem could also be that i just can't read thejapanese instructions. it seems to time-out after about an hour. fudge blueberry hill hair dye semi-permanent. lasted about three weeks for me. i've heard bluehawaii and blue velvet are bluer dyes, but the cool thing about blueberryhill is that it made my hair match my tassle and hood for graduation, tothe bemusement of my law professors. various manic panic and punky color hair dyes i'll get around to reviewing these, really. generally, blues, reds,and violets for me. products i intend to try a long wishlist o' hairproducts. as an informative note, idon't generally go for the herbal stuff and generally prefer wackierstyling products. except for the hempy products, which i think are justsilly (even though alterna's line has the most amazing packaging i'veseen). i also generally don't prefer fruity and flowery smells, and leantowards more minty, spicy, citrusy (okay, that's kind of fruity but notquite) odors. oh yeah, and i realize that half the time, the appealof these products is the packaging. ecoly things distort supposedly, a "knotty texturizing wax." fun. d:fi d:stroyed conditioner. sounds strong. i suppose i'll find out someday. artec white-violet shampoo supposedly, a pale blue tint makes yellowish-blonde hair look white.which would be neat. graham webb pure blonde shampoo and conditioner again, with a blue/violet tint for making white hair. hayashi amethyst violet color shampoo more along the same lines. i.c.e. spiker water-resistant styling glue just because it sounds super intriguing. scruples er emergency repair for damaged hair because i do a lot of terrible stuff to my hair. xtah twisted taffy free-former it's all about the packaging. the crude clay modeler soundsfunky too.

How long has it been around? Is it widely recognized? Under what circumstances would a physician use the Laserscope Lyra -i as opposed to other lasers? Who is a perfect candidate for laser surgery treatment with the Laserscope Lyra -i ? How does it work? Acne Q&A's Why does acne occur? Acne occurs for a variety of reasons including an inability of skin cells to shed properly, causing the pores to plug, forcing the oil and bacteria that would naturally escape to be trapped inside. As the oil and bacteria accumulates, the skin becomes inflamed and swells outward forming the familiar whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. Acne is seen in many age groups, but is most common in teens and frequently appears on the face, neck, shoulders, back, and chest. Back to Top What systems treat acne? The Aura and Gemini. Back to Top What kind of acne does the Aura/Gemini lasers treat? The lasers are FDA cleared for facial acne, though they can be used anywhere acne is normally present. Back to Top How does the laser help clear acne? Light pulses are delivered through the skin's surface, targeting an organic compound generated by the Propionibacterium acnes (p. acne) bacteria called porphyrin. These porphyrins are photosensitive and when targeted by light, generate singlet oxygen, which kill the p. acne bacteria that cause inflammation. Back to Top How long should the treatment take? Treatment times will vary depending on the size of the treatment area, though a full face will frequently take about 20 minutes. Back to Top How many treatments should I need? Physicians who have conducted acne laser treatments frequently start with a four treatment course, two per week for two weeks. More treatments may be needed for those with more severe acne. Back to Top How long do the effects last? Clinical data suggests that most patients find their acne improves after two weeks of twice weekly treatments. While many patients continue to improve over the months following treatment, some patients experience a plateau in their improvement. Repeated treatments may be necessary to maintain results. Back to Top How effective is the laser? In studies conducted at Wellman Labs in Massachusetts and at a private facility in California, 91% of patients saw their acne improve by an average of 66%. In the most recent clinical study patients saw their acne become 81% less severe. Back to Top What will happen in the procedures? After discussing your medical history, including any drugs you are currently taking, with your medical practitioner, the treatment area will be cleaned and a thin layer of clear gel will be applied. Your practitioner will glide the laser handpiece over the treatment area in a brushing motion as the laser light is pulsed safely through the skin. Back to Top Is it painful? Many patients describe the laser pulses as feeling like the snap of a rubber band against the skin, however treatments done over active lesions may be more uncomfortable. Your medical practitioner may recommend a topical anesthetic in order to make treatments more comfortable. Back to Top When should I see results? Patients frequently see results within the first week following treatment. Back to Top Are there side effects? Immediately following the procedure patients may experience mild to moderate redness and swelling that will fade in as little as a couple hours to as much as a few days. Back to Top Can I apply make up right afterwards? Yes. Back to Top Vascular Lesions Q&A's (Leg veins and broken capillaries) How does the treatment work? The Lyra-i and Gemini both produce a 1064nm wavelength. While the rest of the skin is almost completely transparent for this wavelength, it is highly absorbed in blood. Thus, the laser beam passes through the skin and penetrates the targeted vessel. The laser energy heats up and coagulates blood inside the vessel. Unsupported, vessel walls collapse and seal. These vessels later dissolve within the body. The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held device with a cooling tip. The cooling tip provides additional safety and comfort during the treatment by lowering the thermal effect on your skin surface. Back to Top What can I expect during the treatment? You may experience a stinging sensation during the treatment, which resolves immediately after the treatment is over. In some cases, you may be offered topical anesthetic cream, which may eliminate much of the discomfort associated with the treatment. Back to Top What should I expect after the procedure? The appearance of the treated vessels will dramatically change turning from blue and purple into light red. Some of the vessels may bulge, however, any inflammation will disappear within a couple of hours. The redness of the treated vessels will be gradually disappearing as the healing process occurs, which may take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the severity of the veins. The post-operative treatment regime may include wearing pressure hose, avoiding medication containing aspirin and wearing sunscreen. Make sure to discuss these options with your laser practitioner prior to the treatment. Back to Top How many treatments will I need? Depending on the severity of the veins, you may require anywhere between one and three treatments six weeks apart. The treatment is performed on the existing vessels, diminishing or completely eliminating their appearance. However, the development of new veins cannot be prevented. If your body tends to develop vascular problems you will most likely come back for additional treatments. Back to Top Wrinkles Q&A What lasers treat wrinkles? The Venus, Lyra and Gemini. The Venus Laser is ablative and improves wrinkles by removing the top most layer of skin. A new layer of skin then grows over the treated area forming a new, smoother layer of skin. In contrast the Lyra and Gemini are non-ablative and work by stimulating collagen production from inside the skin. As a general statement the Venus works from the outside in while the Lyra and Gemini work from the inside out. Back to Top How many treatments are needed for reduction of facial wrinkles using the Lyra or Gemini? The treatment of facial wrinkles is progressive with very little down time, results will begin to be apparent after the 3rd treatment. Generally five to eight treatments are required, spaced two to four weeks apart. Back to Top How many treatments are needed for reduction of facial wrinkles using the Venus? The number of treatments vary directly with the amount of work, the desired recovery time. (i.e. if you wish to have a very light peel with minimal downtime you will likely need more treatments in order to achieve the desired effect.) Back to Top What skin conditions can be treated? Many facial conditions such as fine wrinkling around the eyelids, forehead, nose and mouth can be smoothened by laser skin resurfacing. Deep laugh and frown lines can be minimized. Even the lingering effects of scars, irregular surgical scars, and other surface abnormalities can be successfully treated. Back to Top Hair Removal Q&A's How does the process work? Through a process called Selective Photothermolysis laser light is passed through the skin and is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. The heat generated by the laser light both injures the follicle and inhibits future growth, while leaving the skin unharmed. Back to Top What may I be asked before treatment? A treatment specialist will likely run through your medical history to see if you have had any issues that may impact the procedures safety. For example: have you had keloid scarring, used Accutane in the last 6 months, etc.) In addition the specialist will request that you not wax, pluck, or tweeze for four weeks preceding the treatments as doing so may reduce the effectiveness of the treatments. Note: shaving should not affect results. Back to Top What can I expect during treatment? Laser light will be delivered through a hand held wand attached to a laser console. You may experience a stinging sensation as the laser pulse is delivered. To reduce discomfort, the cooling system automatically removes heat from the surface of your skin before, during and after the laser exposure. You should not need general anesthesia or pain medication, but a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to sensitive areas. The process can take from just a few minutes for an upper lip to several hours for a full back and legs. Back to Top How many treatments will the patient need for hair removal? Hair growth involves several cycles and, thus, some hairs may be affected during a single treatment and some may not. We have seen that after several treatments most terminal (mature) hairs are replaced with finer hairs of lighter color. Some hairs are completely eliminated. Although complete hair removal may not be achieved, the hairs become less visible and, thus, less bothersome. The number of treatments needed to obtain optimal results varies with hair density, color and growth cycle as well as skin type, though it is common to have 3-4, and possibly as many as 8, treatments; one every 4-8 weeks. Results will improve with each subsequent treatment. Back to Top What can I expect after treatment? The treated area is cleansed and you are free to return to your normal routine. Some patients may experience a slight reddening around hair follicles, though this will typically disappear within a few minutes. It is always recommended that you avoid sun exposure or use sunscreen following treatment. Several days after treatment injured hair follicles will begin to fall out, a process that can be sped up by lightly rubbing the skin with a towel. It may seem that some hair continues to grow for several weeks after the procedure, but many of these will also fall out. What hair that is not eliminated will likely be replaced by thinner, lighter, significantly less noticeable hair. Back to Top How "permanent" is "permanent" following the course of epilation treatment? Since the procedure is very new and people go through so many stages in their lives it is impossible to completely determine at this time. However, we have seen up to 2 years with no hair re-growth following several treatments. Back to Top Pseudofolliculitis (shaving bumps) Q&As What is Pseudo-Folliculitis? Pseudo-folliculitis (PF), commonly known as shaving bumps, is an inflammatory condition, widespread among individuals with thick curly hair. As the hair grows out of the skin, it curls and re-enters the skin. The skin reacts to it as a foreign object and becomes inflamed and irritated, creating bumps and discoloration. Often hairs start curling even before growing out of the skin, creating in-grown hairs. These bumps become quite large, causing discomfort to the patient. Sometimes relief can be achieved with the use of topical steroids and exfoliating agents. Growing hair is sometimes curative as well. More commonly, the ingrown hair is pulled out after each shaving session. Although this is a solution, it is, however, painful and time consuming. Back to Top How does the treatment work? The laser beam passes through the skin and is absorbed in the hair follicle residing underneath the skin surface. The laser energy destroys the follicle with the heat that it generates. Destroyed hairs are then either dissolved within the skin or extruded by the body. Because the laser beam is larger in diameter than the hair follicle, a large number of hairs can be treated simultaneously. Back to Top What should I expect during treatment? Most patients experience a stinging or burning sensation when a laser pulse is delivered. While general anesthesia will not be required, a topical anesthetic may be applied to sensitive skin. To further reduce discomfort, Lyra and Gemini both utilize a special cooling system that lowers the temperature of the skin at the treatment site before, during and after laser exposure. Back to Top What should I expect after treatment? After treatment, you may return to your regular routine immediately. Some patients may experience a slight reddening around the hair follicles immediately following treatment which typically disappears within a few minutes. It will seem that the hair continues to grow for a period of one to two weeks after laser treatment, but in fact, these hairs are actually lifeless and are simply being cast out by your body. Back to Top How many treatments will be needed? Laser treatment impairs the growth of hair follicles when they are in the growth cycle at the time of treatment. All hair follicles are not active at the same time. Depending upon the growth cycle of the follicles when the treatment is applied, multiple treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, may be required to obtain the overall desired effect. Back to Top Here's what patients are saying about the treatment? "After only a couple treatments I have noticed dramatic reductions in the facial hair areas. Shaving is much easier now and faster. The constant itching and scratching is totally gone and I have a renewed sense of confidence about my appearance". Rick., Houston, TX "I noticed a difference after the first treatment. But it was after the second treatment that I noticed an amazing difference. ……I used to shave everyday. It has now been 6 months since the last time I shaved. Now when I stop to look in the mirror I smile… it saved my life." Barbara, Dallas, TX Back to Top Lyra Laser System Q&A How does the Lyra -i from Laserscope differ from other lasers? The Laserscope Lyra -i 1064 nm laser produces a deeply penetrating, consistently therapeutic wavelength. This combination of the wavelength, long pulses and safe therapeutic energies makes the Lyra laser unique when compared with most other laser systems. The principal reason for this design was to produce a system that would be safe and effective on all skin types, including very dark and tanned patients. Before Lyra systems became available, no other laser could be used on all skin tones. Back to Top How long has it been around? Lyra -i is the newest generation of a laser series introduced in 1999, and has been cleared by the FDA for the safe and effective treatment of all skin types, including those who wish to be treated while tanning. Back to Top Is it widely recognized? Hundreds of Lyra laser systems are in use around the world by many prominent physicians in aesthetic medicine. In fact many of the famous faces in the world are kept youthful by Lyra's unique ability to treat facial wrinkles. Back to Top Under what circumstances would a physician use the Laserscope Lyra -i as opposed to other lasers? Many lasers can not safely be used on tanning patients or on all skin types. A physician would select the Lyra laser to safely and effectively treat facial wrinkles, leg veins, and unwanted hair. Back to Top Who is a perfect candidate for laser treatment with the Laserscope Lyra -i ? For facial wrinkles, any patient with fine lines and/or moderate wrinkles are ideal candidates. For hair removal, patients with any skin color with brown or black hairs. For patients with leg veins, those with blue, red or purple vessels up to 4mm in diameter. Additionally, any skin type patients that have deep vascular malformations, such as hemangiomas or resistant port wine stains, are good candidates for Lyra -i . Back to Top How does it work? The laser light penetrates the skin keeping it intact until it reaches its target - either a hair follicle (for hair removal) or a vessel (for leg vein treatment). Once the laser energy reaches the target, it is immediately absorbed. At this point, the energy turns into heat and destroys the target without harming any surrounding tissue. It then takes a short while for the hair or vessel to dissipate into the body. The laser energy is delivered through a chilled window to protect the patient's skin and provide comfort. Back to Top Caution: Federal (US) law restricts Laserscope devices to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner.

I go to DC often on business and sometimes need to relax and just get away to a nice quiet and quant place. ICM allows for me to do that with out being propositioned by some one for something illegal. Although the women are most beautiful, well spoken, proper and intelligent.
