Tanda Professional Skincare System

The Tanda Professional Skincare System is for the use of acne and anti-aging. This particular skin care system is innovative because it features two treatment heads that deliver powerful resulrs from the use of breakthrough LED technology.
The Clear Acne Light Therapy Treatment Head uses blue LED light that effectively kills the acne-causing bacteria which clogs pores, and it also treats current blemishes and prevents breakouts. In one study, ninety-percent of the people said that it helped existing acne and helped prevent future breakouts.
The Regenerate Anti-Aging Light Therapy Treatment Head uses red LED light to helps improve skin texture, color, and tone while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In a study, ninety-two percent of the people said that their skin felt more rejuvenated and smooth.
The reason why these two different (red/blue) light therapies work is because when colors are perceived, the eye is detecting bands of wavelengths within the visible light. Humans can see visible light from violent through red. This is why the blue and red are used for different aspects on the skin.
You can buy Tanda Professional Skin Care Systems online.

I personally think that this is a great way to make your skin feel good and for you to feel better about your skin. Like most things in life- it is expensive, but worth your bucks if you look at the percentage that it has worked on.

Silk'n SensEpil

So, as usual I am sitting here, reading over the new technologies that occurring in the 'beauty' world. The Silk'n SensEpil is a long-term hair removal treatment, and the even better part is, is that its over the counter so you can do it at home!!!
This is the only FDA- approved over-the-counter device, which just makes it that much better. It uses Home Pulsed Light technology to remove unwanted hair and it even has a built-in safety sensor to ensure that the appropriate skin types use it. The reason why this technology is so well is because after two to four sessions, the results are just as comparable to professional procedures. If you were to want to remove hair on your legs, the full treatment would only take about thirty minutes.
I'm sure you are thinking; "Wow, this is great, but it probably costs a lot of money!"
Well, to your advantage, the machine costs $499.00 with a $50.00 refill cartridge. This price is a lot better considering the fact that a professional hair removal procedure at an office costs between $200- $500 a session.
It is precaution ed that dark-skinned woman do not use this new technology because it can cause blistering and pigmentation changes in the skin.
The Silk'n SensEpil has received 5 stars and I can tell you that when I have the money to buy stuff like this, you will definitely find this in my bathroom!

Innovative new tools for skin care

The GlowFusion Air Glow Gun is a self tanning kit that you can do at home. It has an "air glow gun" which is the first and only at home airbrush system on the market today. The mist is a micro- nutrient technology that distributes vitamins and nutrients to the skin and a cocoa complex adds anti-aging properties and antioxidant protection.

The reason why this is so good is because it is streak-free. It also elements the concerns with cancer that are associated when using an actual tanning bed or going out in the sun. The other advantage to using this at home kit is that it dries fast and lasts up to two weeks with out any fading.

The reason why I wanted to mention this tanning method is because so many woman across the country spend so much money and time on tanning in tanning beds or laying out in the sun without protection to get that "glow." The risks that come with tanning at a salon with UV lights, is that it can cause cancer. A friend of mine from high school has skin cancer now because she used to go tanning three times a week in a tanning bed all through out high school and she now has skin cancer on her back. She had to get it removed, but she now has scars and has to get checked every 3 months.

The new technology of sunless tanning is a great idea. I know that at One Minute Tan near Chauncey here at Purdue, you can get sunless tanning for only 36 dollars for two tans. Each of them last up to 2 weeks, and its a great way to look great, without having to worry about getting cancer. I think that the at home kit is even better! If you can still have the same look without having to get in your car and go somewhere to have this tanning procedure done, then its all worth it. I know that many companies like Dove or L'Oreal have sunless tanning lotions that you can apply to your body. They are simply lotions with a tint of self tanning applied to them. I think its great that people can have options for wanting to look bronzed and tanned all year around, with out having the concerns about UV lights and skin cancer.

Injectables

Along with laser treatments and radio energy therapies, a different technology used are injectables. Injectables consist of BOTOX cosmetics and injectable fillers. Most people use these to help with signs of aging. The majority of people use these fillers on their face but some people can use of their hands, etc. as I mentioned with the radio energy therapies.
Have you ever looked at someones face and said "Oh my God, what did they do to it?" or " WOW, that person definitely had implants done to their lips." Well, these BOTOX and injectables are why some peoples faces look 'perfected' or a little too perfected that they look almost fake or like 'Cat Woman.' If you don't know who cat woman is, here is a link of who she is:

Cat Woman is obviously an extreme to what plastic surgery can do to your face and how you can become addicted but if you look at her lips and how her skin is extremely firm, you can tell that BOTOX and injectables were done to her face. I personally think that this is very sad that someone has become so addicted that they ruin their face like this.

I do believe that these type of technologies are good for the human culture but I do have a concern for the addiction that comes along with it. These procedures are not cheap and someone can become in serious debt if they don't have the right money to afford it.

If you take a look at this link:
http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/2007/08/16/cosmetic_democracy/index.html
it talks about how people are going out of their way to get hefty loans and certain health insurances because they want plastic surgery so badly or enough opt out of their health insurance so that they can finance their surgery even better. It is a very interesting article and I plan on learning more about BOTOX and injectables with the factor of debt.
