Vampire Facelift – Facial Transformation

The face you want. Get it with Vampire Facelift application. Your face can be as youthful as you want it to be

Everyone would like to keep and maintain that youthful look for as long as they live. Even though we are all aware that aging is soon catching up with us we would still want to keep the good appearance. Doing this has been one of the big headaches for many people especially with the ladies but I want to bring the good news to you that there is a healthy solution to this problem. I spoke to doctor Dalal Akoury who is an expert in this discipline among other areas of vast health related matters and she share very good tips you can apply to look much younger including vampire facelift. I will be sharing some of the things you can do to keep your good look and I will recommend that even as we discuss this you need to consult with doctor Akoury for much more specialist care use her contacts available on this link.

The main topic of discussion in this article will be Vampire Facelift and how effective it is. Therefore vampire facelift was primarily established for people desiring to keep that healthy, youthful, and well moisturized young look skin naturally without the inconveniences of going through surgery. It is a systematic process that uses your own body’s healing and regenerative properties. This process does not take time with almost immediate result being realized on the same day and with continual skin regeneration benefit lasting for months after the procedure, and results can last for over a year.

It is important to note that Vampire Facelift® is not just a facelift procedure but rather a skin treatment procedure using the body’s own natural healing and growth factors that are derived from your own blood (and that is how the name Vampire Facelift® is derived). The procedure works well in combination with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. This is a friendly process with almost no pain or just some negligible pain experienced, it involves a series of injections into the areas of the face to reduce wrinkles adding youthful volume and improving the quality of your skin.

What is a Vampire Facelift?

The Vampire Facelift is therefore a stylish procedure developed to facilitate and enhance volume in the face using a combination of hyaluronic acid like Restylane and platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) which is a denser form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Recovering Factors from a Patient’s Own Blood

The major component for Vampire Facelift is platelet-rich fibrin matrix which is derived from the patient’s own blood before being mixed with other factors. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix starts with a blood draw in the very way blood is drawn during any blood test after which the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is detached by spinning the patient’s blood through a centrifuge to give a clear yellow serum after it is detached from the darker components made typically of red blood cells. Calcium chloride (CaCl) or other activator is added to the PRP to turn it into the thicker and longer lasting platelet-rich fibrin matrix.

Platelet-rich plasma is used throughout the medical world for its wound and injury healing properties. It also stimulates the production of collagen and for tissue regeneration. These properties enable platelet-rich fibrin matrix as an ideal natural serum for revitalizing facial skin quality and volume with increased collagen production, blood supply, and new skin and fatty tissue generation, creating the youthful appearance that comes with generating new, healthier skin. The purpose of Vampire facelift is to correct what aging is introducing in your skin quality. How then does aging affect the quality of your skin? It does so in two major ways.

  • There is loss of volume from bone, muscle, fat, and skin. This can make the under eye area and cheeks look flat and hollow. The skin can look dull or gray instead of being rosy as it was when younger.
  • The loss of support of the skin results in drooping upper eyelids, lower eyelids, cheeks, jowls and sagging neck skin like the neck of turkey.

Adding Youthful Volume by using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

The first step of The Vampire Facelift® is the application of injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler like Restylane or Juvederm.

One of the two main components of the facial aging process is the loss of volume due to a reduction of facial bone, muscle and fat, also known as “the apples of the cheeks”.

Dermal fillers add youthful volume to the face, while keeping a natural appearance.

Hyaluronic acid fillers do not paralyze facial muscles like Botox, so volume is added without inhibiting facial movement or expressions.

Normally there is specific art application of fillers for a more vibrant natural and youthful appearance and you can be rest assured that Dr. Akoury will apply his natural artistic abilities with her professional skills and over two decades of experience to perform your procedure, all you need to do is to get in touch with her (Doctor Dalal Akoury) and you will not regret the look on your face anymore.

Revitalizing your Facial Skin from Within

For comfort and almost pain less process, the platelet-rich fibrin matrix is placed just after a numbing cream has been applied. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix contains at least eight of the body’s own concentrated growth factors to revitalize the face in various ways like:

  • Specific growth factors increase the formation of new blood vessels also known as neovascularization and increased blood flow to the skin, resulting in healthier, better and quality skin.
  • Other growth factors increase new cell formation for skin renewal.
  • Another growth factor spurs the formation of new collagen, the major element of facial skin that diminishes in facial aging.
  • Other growth factors activate the multi-potent stem cells already in the skin by tricking it into thinking there is an injury, resulting in the use of a combination of growth factors and stem cells to generate new fatty tissue. The new fatty tissue repairs skin that was never injured, resulting in the generation of new, younger-looking skin.

Areas treated by the non-surgical Vampire Facelift® include:

  • Lines at corners of the mouth
  • Bunny lines or bunny nose – dynamic wrinkles on the nose
  • Crow’s feet that is lines in corners of the eyes
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Frown lines
  • Smile lines
  • Plumping of the cheeks
A quick procedure that keeps working for several months

In conclusion and making reference from my introduction, talking to doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, will be the starting point of ensuring that you get that youthful appearance you have been looking for. Doctor Akoury together with her team of experts appreciate that you need to get quick result and they will just do that, remember that the entire Vampire Facelift procedure only takes about an hour to complete. Within the hour all the steps including the: blood draw, preparation of the PRP, platelet-rich fibrin matrix, and The Vampire Facelift® treatment itself will be complete and your face will surprise you when you look into the morrow. Take that positive step of calling doctor Akoury today and experience the real professional touch and take not that since skin renewal and rejuvenation is using the body’s own active regeneration components, facial skin renewal is continual for about 3 months after the procedure while the overall effects of the Vampire Facelift® can last for over a year.

Oncothermia and Cancer

Oncothermia and Hyperthermia As Used In Cancer Treatment

oncothermiaCancer treatment is getting advanced day by day and all this is attributed to the work that scientists have continued to do to find better ways of putting this monster where it belongs-history. Despite the many alternative cancer treatments that we have today, the research work on cancer is yet to stop. There are very many ways through which a cancer patient can be treated and it is better to find an integrative cancer center where the experienced integrative oncologists can find the best treatment that is personalized to suit your situation. The integrative cancer doctors are the best as they are able to incorporate both naturopathic and conventional cancer treatment methods to come up with the best ways to combat the disease. All these improvements in the field of oncology are driven by a common purpose which is to find a treatment that is strategic enough in killing the cancerous cells while having minimal or no side effects at all. Unlike HIV/AIDS cancer is treatable and cancer patients have received treatment even with the conventional cancer treatments but the cancer treatment duration is synonymous to pain due to the hurt that is caused by these treatments. Conventional chemotherapy affects the healthy cells as well as the cancer cells and this leads to side effects that threatens the lives of the cancer patients who have since opted for better ways of cancer treatment that are devoid of all the life threatening side effects that are always the result of haphazard conventional chemotherapy. Some of the improvements that have been made in the field of oncology include. Oncothermia and Hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia is a condition in which the body temperatures are higher than the normal degrees. Hyperthermia can be caused by certain diseases but it can also be created by medical experts to help in treatment of certain diseases especially cancer. In this case it is referred to as heat treatment. Higher than normal temperatures are known to cause various health complications but in hyperthermia the heat is under careful control of qualified medical personnel hence cannot kill the patient but only kill the cancerous cells.

Thermal treatment helps in making the cancer cells more vulnerable to treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy. High temperatures may also kill the cancer cells instantly. Hyperthermia is very effective in treatment of cancer but it may also lead to the death of healthy cells for this reason it needs to be handled by doctors who are well versed in the area and can take good control of the heat so as to avoid harm to the patient.

The cancer cells are killed when the proteins in them get coagulated and the blood vessels that supply them with nutrients are killed. This leaves a place that is cooked hence no living cancer cell. Various sources of energy can be used in this process including Radio waves, microwaves, and ultrasound waves.

Hyperthermia can be either internally or externally. When done external the source of heat is focused on a specific area of the patients body while in internal ablation involves using a needle that is pricked into the tumor. The needle releases lots of heat at the tip killing the cancerous cells.

Hyperthermia can be used in treatment of cancers that are deeply rooted in the internal organs. It is the method that is used in killing cancer cells in brain tumors. This technique is called Interstitial and it releases lots of heat than the external thermal ablation. Needles that release heat are used in the tumor to kill the cells in it.

Oncothermia

Just like hyperthermia, Oncothermia also involves increase in temperatures of the patients but of course this is a more improved approach towards killing the cancerous cells. Oncothermiahas cell-selective focus on the tumor and it is free from dangerous hot spots. The main advantage of Oncothermia as a cancer treatment alternative is its self-selective ability and its apoptosis oriented cell-killing mechanism. It induces apoptosis in the cancer cells inhibiting their destructive functions. This is not a new alternative to conventional cancer treatments as it has been used in cancer treatments over the past centuries. It is a common cancer treatment in Asia and Europe among other continents.

Oncothermia uses modulated and filtered frequency in a bid to destroy the cancer cells more selectively. Researchers have proved that when the frequency of heat is modulated precisely, energy focus is increased which increases the effectiveness of this method in killing the cancerous cells as well as the safety of the healthy cells. This method is more strategic in targeting the cancerous cells. The tumors are exposed to high temperatures that are regulated by experienced doctors to destroy the blood vessels that the tumor depends on as well as killing the cancerous cells outright. It is not solely about increasing the temperatures but is about how those temperatures can be focused on a tumor for a given time.

oncothermiaThe controlled heat is focused on the organ or region affected by the tumor. The process may involve use of capacitive deep hyperthermia device to stimulate energy absorption by the malignant cells after which the tumors are heated to induce apoptosis. Oncothermia can also be used with conventional cancer treatment methods like chemotherapy as it increases the vulnerability of the cancerous cells to Chemotherapy drugs.

Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) is an experienced integrative cancer doctor that has helped many cancer patients in their fight against the disease. She has worked hard not only in treating the disease but also in availing informational support to cancer patients at Awaremed which has become a place called home for many cancer patients.

Alcoholic Relapse

August 14, 2014

Alcoholic Relapse – Social and Emotional Causes

Alcohol

In treating drug addiction relapse will be a common occurrence. Alcoholic relapsing need not to give up as this is normal and will be over-come with time.

Relapse is a common occurrence in management of various addictions. When a recovering patient relapses several times they may get discouraged but this is generally not an indication of treatment failure but just a confirmation that some progress is being made and more needs to be done in the same line. The truth is over 80% of people treated for alcoholism relapse not just during treatment but even after years of abstinence. Patients and their caregivers should understand that relapses of alcoholism are analogous to recurrent flare-ups of chronic physical diseases. Factors that place a person at high risk for relapse include:

  • Frustration and anger
  • Social pressure
  • Internal temptation

Mental and Emotional Stress – Alcohol blocks out emotional pain and is often perceived as a loyal friend when human relationships fail. It is also associated with freedom and with a loss of inhibition that offsets the tedium of daily routines. When the alcoholic tries to quit drinking, the brain seeks to restore what it perceives to be its equilibrium. The brain responds with depression, anxiety, and stress (the emotional equivalents of physical pain), which are produced by brain chemical imbalances. These negative moods continue to tempt alcoholics to return to drinking long after physical withdrawal symptoms have abated.

Codependency – Many aspects of the ex-drinker’s relationships change when drinking stops, making it difficult to remain abstinent:

  • One of the most difficult problems that occur is being around other people who are able to drink socially without danger of addiction. A sense of isolation, a loss of enjoyment, and the ex-drinker’s belief that pity, not respect, is guiding a friend’s attitude can lead to loneliness, low self-esteem, and a strong desire to drink again.
  • Friends may not easily accept the sober, perhaps more subdued, ex-drinker. Close friends and even intimate partners may have difficulty in changing their responses to this newly sober person and, even worse, may encourage a return to drinking.
  • To preserve marriages, spouses of alcoholics often build their own self-images on surviving or handling their mates’ difficult behavior and then discover that they find it difficult to adjust to new roles and behaviors.

In order to maintain abstinence, the ex-drinker may need to separate from these enablers. Close friends and family members can find help in understanding and dealing with these issues through social groups.

Social and Cultural Pressures – The media has become a powerful communication tool for the pleasures of drinking in advertising and programming. The medical benefits of light-to-moderate drinking are frequently publicized, giving ex-drinkers the false excuse of returning to alcohol for their health.

Risk Factors

It is amazing that even with obvious health risk of alcohol people are still very much into drinking. It has become a global problem with the west taking the lead in alcohol abuse. America for example is struggling with this problem of alcohol abuse with most under age getting into drinking habit. Most American adults drink at levels that put them at risk for alcohol dependence and alcohol-related problems. Let us therefore look at some of the risk factors for alcohol dependence may include:

Age

Drinking in Adolescence – we all know that alcohol consumption is very unhealthy in all dimensions, the risks of alcohol use gets more complicated depending on when one begins taking alcohol and the duration of usage. For instance anyone who begins drinking in adolescence is at risk for developing alcoholism. The earlier a person begins drinking, the greater the risk and so young people at highest risk for early drinking are those with a history of abuse, family violence, depression, and stressful life events. People with a family history of alcoholism are also more likely to begin drinking before the age of 20 and to become alcoholic. Such adolescent drinkers are also more apt to underestimate the effects of drinking and to make judgment errors, such as going on binges or driving after drinking, than young drinkers without a family history of alcoholism.

Drinking in the Elderly Population – Although alcoholism usually develops in early adulthood the elderly are not safe either. They are also affected though in a different way for example those who maintain the same drinking patterns as they age can easily develop alcohol dependency without realizing it. It will take a fewer drinks to become intoxicated, and older organs can be damaged by smaller amounts of alcohol than those of younger people. Besides all these, many medications prescribed for older people interact adversely with alcohol.

Gender

Majority of alcohol users are men though the women population drinking is also rising by the day. Studies suggest that women are more vulnerable than men to many of the long-term consequences of alcoholism. For example, women are more likely than men to develop alcoholic hepatitis and to die from cirrhosis, and again they are more vulnerable to the brain cell damage caused by alcohol.

History of Abuse

The load of individuals past life style will have great significance in the present. Those brought up by alcoholic parents have a higher risk for substance abuse later in life. In one study, 72% of women and 27% of men with substance abuse disorders reported physical or sexual abuse or both. They also had worse response to treatment than those without such a history.

Psychiatric and Behavioral Disorders

Psychiatric Disorders – Severely depressed or anxious people are at high risk for alcoholism, smoking, and other forms of addiction. Likewise, a large proportion of alcohol-dependent people suffer from an accompanying psychiatric or substance abuse disorder. Either anxiety or depression may increase the risk for self-medication with alcohol. Depression is the most common psychiatric problem in people with alcoholism or substance abuse. Alcohol abuse is very common in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Long-term alcoholism itself may cause chemical changes that produce anxiety and depression. It is not always clear, then, whether people with emotional disorders are self-medicating with alcohol, or whether alcohol itself is producing mood swings.

In conclusion, I believe you’re up to date with the social aspects of alcohol use. In our introduction we illustrated how relapse is a common happening addiction treatment and probably this is your area of concern and I want to offer you an opportunity to get over it. This is not something you can go through on your own, you will need the opinion of experts in this line and Dr. Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center is the person you need right now.

Internet as source of cancer Information

August 10, 2014


The Internet Is a Difficult Place for A Cancer Patient

InternetThe internet has become the first stop for anybody seeking any information on any subject and medical information is no exception. People will always want to know more about the disease that is troubling them. They want to know all the causes of the disease so that they can avoid its reoccurrence incase it is treated, they want to know the best place to get treatment for the disease and the best treatment of the disease. Cancer being a disease that has caused threat to human population is one of the diseases that are majorly researched on by patients on the internet. This is because cancer is a disease that has kept doctors and researchers doing research everyday and so most of the alternative cancer treatments are still being discovered as a result of these endless researches by these concerned bodies to come up with better treatment that will not only help the cancer patients evade the side effects that some conventional cancer treatment methods are known for but also avail a more cost effective  treatment that every cancer patient can afford yet still effective  in terms of fighting the disease.

The internet however helpful is not 100 percent beneficial to the cancer patients seeking information as it is used by all sorts of people ranging from medical doctors, medical researchers, interest groups and other health groups that will try to avail every helpful information to help the cancer patient to find the best cancer treatment. It is also used by people who are out to con people by providing misleading information that is geared towards extorting money from the cancer patients. Just to remind if you forgot, cancer is one of the most expensive diseases to treat and as cancer patients are saddened by this fact other people and groups are out to exploit the cancer patients who are ready to spend all their savings in pursuit of the best cancer treatment. The internet provides these individuals with a better ground to sell their products that are not approved by any institution such as FDA. It is rather difficult to set up a shop and sell drugs that are not approved but it is very easy to create a website and sponsor all sorts of writers who will avail contents that praise the potency of the drugs on sale to entice the cancer patient to purchase the products. Some of these sites have even sponsored testimonials of people who claim to have been treated by the same product you are needed to buy but in real sense they have never used the product but are just in the business of luring the desperate cancer patients to buy all these ineffective drugs or supplements.

Internet offers anonymity to scammers therefore making it difficult for them to be associated with the information that is on their websites. This anonymity is in itself a great form of protection as they will con you and you will not be able to trace who they are. It is therefore crucial for any cancer patient to verify the credibility of the site he is seeking information on before owning the information that is availed on that site and thereafter using it in his fight against cancer. This might cause very complex problems as the information is misleading and remember they are about drugs.

 

Commercial sites

Most of the sites that the patient will visit are commercial sites that try to promote the products of a given medical practitioner or hospital. This information may be biased as promotional information is always on the positive side of the products and the expertise of the people behind the site. This may lead to a cancer patient buying a cancer drug that is over rated but does nothing to heal the disease.

It is therefore good for a patient to know the people behind the site. Any site that promotes anonymity of the people who use it should be avoided for matters of security. Here are some of the tips you can use to know whether the site is owned by a credible person or is just one of the platforms on which the online scammers make their contact with the desperate cancer patients to con them.

Know the people behind the site

By knowing the person or institution behind the site you will be able to judge whether the site is credible or just a scam. A site that is created with clearly good intentions will always have the names of the people plus their qualifications and experience on that site. You can do a search on the names availed so that you can see if they are known beyond their site. Medical practitioners who run these websites are those with extensive experience in medicine and are known at least in their countries.

Is the site up to-date?

InternetThere are cancer doctors and cancer care centers that are committed to availing information to cancer patients to help them live longer or better yet get treated. These sites are always up to date. It is good to know if the information is up to date since researchers may have disputed all the core information available on the site. It is also good to check for availability of any available sources of information. Cancer research is done by qualified oncologists and their names and the publications of the findings should be mentioned in the contents so that you can check them for reference. Any information that is not verifiable may be misleading.

Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) is an experienced integrative cancer doctor that has helped many cancer patients in their fight against the disease. She has worked hard not only in treating the disease but also in availing informational support to cancer patients at Awaremed which has become a place called home for many cancer patients.

Life has ups and downs and may be you ended up with a face out of accident, which was not originally how your face was from birth. Do you stop living because your face is not good looking?

I have seen people who have experienced serious depression which started with stress because of the perception of an ugly face. I Know people whose partners have walked out of their lives because they had low self esteem as a result of so called ugly face. When you feel ugly you lose interesting life which make you unproductive. Your face could lose its beauty of vitality for many reasons including aging, sadness, stress, sun damage, acne, accidents, injuries and scars. Being self conscious of the flaws of your face affect your Psyche, your performance, your relationships, your work and your success, Thanks to the Vampire Facelift you have another chance to have the face you always wanted.
You could have ended up with a bad face from birth, very unfortunate. You can have been born with a beautiful face but had an accident and that accident reshaped your face and it’s no longer as good looking as before. There are also those with bad face due to substance or products they have used before and the reaction have shaped their faces. Many women have ended up with burned up, inflammed and scared faces due the use of very low quality beauty products with catastrophic end result.

Regardless of how you got that less beautiful face,  today you can have a transforming Vampire facelift. A Vampire facelift will totally revitalize your look and make your beauty the center of attention. That Vampire facelift is not a tablet or a surgery or even a fitness program.  The Vampire facelift is a medical procedure. The Vampire Facelift is a non-surgical procedure that takes less than 30 minutes to administer and it’s painless.

What Is The Vampire FaceLift®?

The Vampire FaceLift® uses stem cell science to tell the body to grow new, younger skin. Unipotent stem cells, which grow only one specific tissue, are found in every part of the body. Stem cells are stimulated by Platelet Rich Plasma (derived from your own blood) to regenerate collagen, elastin, and new blood supply to create more youthful skin. The Vampire FaceLift® takes cosmetic rejuvenation to a higher level.

The Vampire FaceLift® is a custom-designed procedure that combines the science of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm; Platelet RIch Plasma and the artful eye of a skilled physician to deliver youthful, natural beauty that is as unique as you are.

PRP is the 4th dimension of skin rejuvenation and artful aesthetics.  We have professional skin care to nourish the skin, Botox® to relax wrinkles, dermal fillers such as Juvaderm® to restore lost volume and now Platelet Rich Plasma to actually regenerate the skin and a youthful glow.

 How Does The Vampire Facelift® Work?

The initial injection of hyaluronic acid fillers is the precursor to the ultimate desired form. Next, comes the polishing and refining step of the sculpting process, when you are injected with platelet rich plasma, which ultimately contributes to the appearance of a younger version of you, with improved skin quality, color and texture. With the Vampire Facelift®, you can achieve youthful, natural beauty in minutes and all without surgery or downtime.

What Will The Vampire Facelift® Do For You?

Each patient will experience a fresher, more youthful appearance artfully designed to meet your needs and sustain a natural appearance. Benefits of The Vampire Facelift® include:

  • The skin color becomes a “younger” color because of new blood vessel formation.
  • New collagen formations in the dermis lifts the face back to more youthful shape.
  • Because the growth factors are working to build a new dermis, the epidermis (the outer most layers of your skin) appears smoother.

How Do You Know The Vampire Facelift® Is Right For You?

A surgical facelift may be useful in very specific cases, but it is not a cure-all for the aging face. The surgical facelift can contribute to a collapse of the face as the skin is stretched tightly over the bone, leaving a skeleton-like appearance and does little to improve the quality of the skin. The Vampire Facelift®, however, lifts the face away from the bone, creating youthful volume and restoring shape. In combination with HA fillers, the Vampire Facelift® also improves the skin’s texture, color and integrity.

 Get the Vampire Facelift® Today?

Are you tired of that face and you want to retire it and take a new face? It’s time to make that bold step and change your look. Its not costing you that much and yet the impact is life changing and long lasting.  Dr. Akoury is one among a small number of physicians specially trained, certified and licensed to administer this innovative new treatment that uses the patient’s own blood platelets to activate growth factors that rejuvenate the youthful appearance of the face, in structure, shape and skin quality. Dr. Akoury specializes in helping each patient find a treatment plan that optimally suits their needs and desires. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Akoury to find a plan for you.
