Discover Ionic Galvanizer “Face Lifts”

Ionic Galvanizer machines are those gadgets that are are responsible for creating what the media has dubbed as being a non-surgical face lift. They offer a non-invasive way to treat the effects of aging and prevent further wrinkles and sagging from appearing.

These machines used to only be available for use a spa. You had to book an appointment, pay anywhere from fifty to five hundred dollars (depending on the serums or lotions used) and then enjoy the use of the machine by a salon technician. The treatments could take anywhere from half and hour to an hour and a half.  The good news is that you do not even have to go to a spa to enjoy these services any more.

Nowadays you can get hand-held home units like the Fyola facial massager that combines both galvanic and ultrasound technology, and give yourself your own spa treatment at your home. These hand held beauty massagers will do three main things for your skin –

1. Remove water
2. Remove fat
3. Remove wrinkles

If you manage these three components of skin health then you can look younger than ever.

These  face massagers gently pummel the skin so that fat cells are broken down.  Fatty tissue is replaced with healthy new collagen.  Fat that is trapped in elastin (the tissue network that holds us together) is dissolved and released into the bloodstreams.  They bring water to the skin by deploying a negative and positive ionic charge that helps the skin retain the water.  This pummeling effect gives your face a work-out that burns fat and makes your wrinkles seem to disappear.

These units also give your skin a “workout” that causes your face to burn away fat, just as if it was being put through exercises. The water that is drawn to the skin also helps flush fat away from the face.

Looking youthful using one of these gadgets does not stop and end at removing fat, water and wrinkles. Perhaps the most interesting benefit of using an ionic galvanizer is that it stimulates the tissues just enough so that your body builds more collagen on it’s own. Collagen is that essential connective and filler tissue that makes our faces look plumped up, younger and wrinkle free.  Furthermore all of this can be done in the privacy of your own home, in about ten minutes, using one affordable facial massager unit!

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an essential oil, an absolute and a hydrosol? If you are interested in aromatherapy you have encountered this question.

Aromatherapy, sometimes known as essential oil therapy is the practice of using essential oils to enhance psychological and physical health.  Usually the definition of an essential oil includes all natural, aromatic and volatile plant oils in the different forms that they can come including absolutes, C02s and Hydrosols.

Essential oils is a general name for oils that are referred to as botanical extracts or essences. These are volatile oils that evaporate when exposed to air. They are not like olive oil, which does not evaporate if the stopper is let off the bottle.

Essential oils is liquid that is extracted from all parts of a plant including the stems, bark, roots, leaves and flowers. Although they are very fragrant they are not the same as a fragrance, which is manufactured in a way that dispenses with the healing constituents in an extracted botanical.

Absolute oils are premium oils that are extracted from the plants or solvents. This method is used to get the oil out of very fragile plant matter such as rose petals. The result of extracting oils with solvents is a very powerful fragrance that is more potent than those extracted with steam. Hot steam is used to extract the essential oil from most plant matter.  Some aromatherapists consider absolute oils to be inferior because it can be “polluted” with the solvent.

C02 oils are those that have been extracted using carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide becomes pressurized until it is liquid and then applied to plant matter. The oils in the plants seep into the Co2 liquid. When the solution is depressurized and the carbon dioxide evaporates the liquid that remains is the desired high quality oil.

C02 extracted essential oils are preferable because the oils I purer and thicker and retains more of the healing molecules that are naturally in them.  The smell of these oils also tends to be stronger and more layered so thy also tend to be more expensive.

Hydrosols are gentler versions of the essential oils.  Hydrosols are the pleasantly scented left-over waters that are left behind when essential oil is extracted using a steam process. These are gentler on the skin and have a milder scent. Although the smell of a hydrosol can be quite strong the scent does not linger as long. In stores you will find these labeled as hydrolats, distillate waters and floral waters.

Imagine never having to pluck your eyebrows or draw them in ever again.  That is what can be accomplished with cosmetic eyebrow tattooing.  The practice is as old as mankind itself. Evidence of the practice has been found on Egyptian mummies.   Even in the old days they new the importance of framing the eyes properly with nicely done brows.

Eyebrow tattooing became popular in the 1920s along with the pencil thin eyebrow and the advent of the silent film era. Today plastic surgeons, cosmetologists, tattoo artists, aestheticians and nurses all practice this ar.

Aside from being fashionable eyebrow tattooing has many other kinds of practical benefits, particularly for people who are suffering from certain troubles. For instance, eyebrows do not always grow back after chemotherapy. People who suffer from multiple sclerosis or other diseases that cause shaky hands simply may not be able to apply make up very well. Permanent cosmetic eyebrow tattoos might also the answer for individuals who are blind or have vision problems (such as cataracts) and have no way of assessing how they look.

However, wanting to look beautiful on your pillow when you wake up in the morning may be a good enough reason to desire cosmetic tattooing. It spares aging woman the trouble of “putting on their eyebrows” in the morning.

The application of permanent eyebrows is done the same way as regular tattoos. A tattoo gun, which automatically dispenses biocompatible inks to the area to be tattooed, is used for the procedure. The inks, which are delivered below the skin, are made of iron oxide or titanium dioxide pigments. If the work is very painstaking then the professional applying your new eyebrows might apply the pigment manually with a hand held needle.

There is some debate about which method is better, manual or electric, for delivering pigment beneath the skin. Although the tattoo gun is faster, it does seem to be more painful for some individuals. Manual tattooing also causes less bruising, swelling and bleeding. Also if you want very thin eyebrows, manual tattooing with needles might be a better choice.

As this work can be considered to be somewhat artistic you might want to find a specialist in the field. Before choosing a cosmetician ask to see a portfolio of his or her work. The best practitioners of permanent tattoo artists will be certified by the American Academy of Micropigmentation and charge between $400 and $600 an hour.
