You have to be Beautiful!

Argan Oil is one of the most promising, independent products of the cosmetic industry. But did you know that one can use it for more than just for effective skin care against wrinkles? This Moroccan miracle oil, as it is often called, contains 80% essential fatty acids (help against inflammations), as well as squalenes (skin softening), phytosterols (protects the collagen in the skin) and phenolic compounds (protection against free radicals), make it to a versatile beauty product, for those who prefer an ease to use and cost conscious daily beauty-care. But lets get to the point and talk about what 100% pure Argan oil from Morocco can do else for you. Read about 10 reasons why you should use Argan oil not included anti-aging, although this is also a feature it is well known for.

1. Soften dry and rough skin with Argan oil. Due to its rich content of essential fatty acids, even more than Shea-butter, the oil of the Argan tree is the perfect moisturizer for your face and hands and the whole body.

2. Avoid ugly stretch marks, by massaging the sensitive skin parts of thighs and belly with Argan oil in the morning and evening.

After the Argan oil massage you will also notice, that the firming oil gets absorbed by the skin right away and does not leave any greasy residuals.

3. Make scars and stretch marks less visible by rubbing them with the natural Moroccan oil. Because of the extreme skin hydration and the subsequent increased elasticity and firmness, as well as through the cell regeneration effect of the Argan oil, small scars will disappear completely, larger ones wild become less visible. This also helps very well with acne scares in the face. The appearance of the skin will be smoothed and the skin will start looking healthy and glowing.

4. With Argan oil you can ensure a balanced sebum production of your skin. It might seem to be a contradiction, because generally one thinks that oil clogs the pores and that this way sebum production will be increased, which will lead to spots and pimples, but with Argan oil this is the contrary. By using Argan oil regularly, the sebum production of the skin will be normalized in a natural way. The skin relaxes and will be nourished optimally, clogged pores will be cleared and the skin can respire.

5. If you belong to those unhappy people who since many years suffer of painful eczema or neurodermatitis and psoriasis, then the 9 time higher vitamin E concentration of the Moroccan oil will bring you the long awaited relief already after a few applications The oil normalizes the skin by giving it the substances it needs so desperately to stay healthy, and it protects the skin from bad external influences and by subsiding itching. This way one can finally relax, the continuous itch will stop and the skin can regenerate and heal. At this point we would like to mention, that Argan oil can be applied on children without hesitation, as in contrary with other crmes and medicines against chronicle eczema and skin diseases, Argan oil has absolutely no negative side effects. Argan oil is a pure natural product, processed in tiresome manual work, when the oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Argan fruit, without additional ingredients, 100% pure.

6. Callosity such as cuticles and corneas belong to the past, if Argan oil is applied regularly. Rub the affected skin parts on hands, elbows, and corneas generously with the healing oil and let it soak in overnight. The hard skin layers will get very soft and can then be removed easily and without any pain.

7. You suffer of dull and brittle hair with split ends, but you do not want to cut your beautiful hair either? Then you must try Argan oil for your hair care! Already after applying it for the very first time on your hair you will be totally enthusiastic and convinced. After washing your hair, rub a few drops of Argan oil between your hands and then massage it gently into the still damp hair, especially on your scalp, as the oil contains precious vitamins, which can be absorbed by the scalp directly and nourish the hair roots with all needed substances and thus give your hair optimal care. Also massage a very small amount of oil directly into the split ends. Your hair will be shiny again and already after only a few applications, it will look much healthier.

8. Dry and itchy scalp also does no longer need to be a problem. Argan oil used as a cure will help quickly. Gently massage some drops of Argan oil into your scalp, then cover your head with a towel and let the oil soak for 30 minutes, afterwards wash with a mild shampoo, as usual and finally rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water. If possible, leave hair to dry in the air. When applying cures with 100%Argan oil regularly; you will no longer be bothered by dry scalp and dandruff.

9. Even your baby and your small kids will feel well with regular care with native Argan oil. Forget about sore points and skin irritations of sensitive baby skin.

Argan oil also protects skin against sun and helps to relief sunburn pain and heals the burned skin.

10. Use Argan oil internally. Argan oil is very well suited for culinary purposes, provides the body with the most important vitamins , keeps the cholesterol level low and as studied scientifically only recently, it is very effective for cancer and heart disease prevention. 3 table spoons a day are totally sufficient for optimal protection, in addition the light, nutty oil taste very good, is easy to digest and in the meantime 5* chefs around the world use it as an absolute insider tip on the same level as truffles, caviar and ostriches, a real delicacy, which is even good for you.

As part of the growing trend for anti-cellulite treatments, Cannelle beauty salons have seen growth in their LPG Lipomassage by Endermologie treatment by 134% in the last five years. The anti-cellulite treatment favoured by many A list celebrities is the only anti-cellulite treatment approved by the American Food and Drug Administration and works by cell stimulation at the deep tissue level rather than simply smoothing the surface. Cellulite affects the connective tissues under the skin, making it resistant to exercise and diet.

Managing Director of Cannelle, France Baudet says: We often see an increase of clients wanting LPG as they embark on New Years resolutions to get healthy, take better care of themselves and look good especially after the excesses of December, however all year round we have seen this anti-cellulite treatment grow in popularity. It is a painless and in fact relaxing procedure, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured body and smoother, firmer skin and promotes a feeling of well-being.

In one 30 minute session the affected areas are compressed between two motorized rollers which gently and continuously apply suction to stimulate and deeply massage.

Baudet continues: You hear about super-sonic technologies offering empty promises but Endermologie is the only patented technology FDA approved to tackle cellulite and in my view is the only natural technique capable of successfully fighting superficial trapped fat.

The mechanised rollers re-harmonise the connective tissue and increase blood and lymph circulation reducing the build-up of toxins. It targets cellulite by acting on the hypodermic connective tissue, promotes the elimination of the toxins and stimulates cellular exchanges as well as mobilising the ‘connective gel’ in order to restore its smoothness and fight the ‘orange peel’ appearance of the skin. The treatment also reduces water retention by boosting the lymphatic and venous systems and eliminates dead skin cells restoring the skins natural radiance.

A course of treatments is recommended for optimum results.

Most mums will encounter cellulite at some point in their life. Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy loosen the connective tissues to enable the skin to become more elastic. These changes can make women more vulnerable to cellulite.

If the tone of these elastic fibres is compromised, fat cells can become engorged with lipid fats and begin clumping together. When cells become larger they press through the weakened connective tissue to the skin surface creating the mattress-like dimpling. Once the cellulite process has started, the plump fat cells can also press into the fine vascular and lymphatic systems, restricting oxygen supply and making it more difficult for the skin to rid itself of toxins. This is where birch comes in.

Weledas Birch Cellulite Oil is 100% natural, contains no artificial additives, and is specially formulated to tone and firm skin, and tackle those orange peel dimples on thighs and hips. Its made from organic silver birch, grown in the Czech Republic and gathered from certified collection. The tender young birch leaves contain valuable flavanoids which encourage secretion or elimination processes, to flush out toxins and restore skin radiance.

The leaf extract is combined with organic rosemary extract to stimulate circulation and metabolic processes, plus toning ruscus extract. Skin-smoothing oils of apricot, vitamin-rich wheatgerm and jojoba refine skin texture. A mix of summery essential oils supports the toning effect of the other plant ingredients. Whats more, used in conjunction with Weledas certified organic Birch Juice (rrp 8.95 200ml) youll get even better results!

A dermatological study confirmed that when using Birch Cellulite Oil twice daily over 28 days in combination with Birch Juice, testers skin was on average noticeably 35% firmer and skin elasticity improved by 20%. Visible improvement of skin-structure was recorded in 85% of cases, and testers skin showed a healthy 20-25% increase in blood circulation /microcirculation.

A favourite with supermodel Erin OConnor, this health supplement helps you spring clean your body healthily and naturally. Its made from silver birch extract, without added sweeteners, and blended with refreshing lemon juice. As well as helping you rediscover your vitality, a detox programme also brings beauty benefits: cleansing your system purifies the complexion to leave skin clear and bright.

One of the main causes of consternation among women is the dreaded ‘C’ word – Cellulite. Current thinking on the causes of cellulite – which presents as dimply fat pockets – are genes, hormones, poor circulation, weak connective tissue, poor lymphatic drainage, sedentary lifestyle and poor diet.

Armed with knowledge of what women want to help beat this condition, Fushi has launched its Really Good Cellulite Oil. Diet and exercise are obvious changes to make to one’s lifestyle, but it takes hard work to be fabulous and with cellulite, it also takes the other c word – commitment. Coupled with a really good cellulite treatment – enter Fushi’s Really Good Cellulite Oil.

Incorporating Fushi’s exclusive new infusing technology, Really Good Cellulite Oil is a potent blend of effective, stimulating and circulation-enhancing ingredients. Gotu Kola, one of the super herbs and known for its superb circulatory benefits, is present at triple strength, and is combined with stimulating, diuretic green coffee, vitamin-rich, nourishing Wheatgerm oil, vitamin E, detoxifying sweet birch and refreshing, cleansing grapefruit essential oil.

According to Rick Hay, Fushi’s Nutrition and Lifestyle Expert, “To effectively tackle cellulite, you need to boost the metabolic processes so that you really engage the body’s lymphatic and other fat metabolising systems to efficiently eliminate excess fats, toxins and waste at a cellular level. This action helps reduce extra pressure on the skin’s connective tissue, which is weakened allowing the pockets of fatty deposits to collect as cellulite.

Fushi’s combination of cellulite-busting extracts and circulatory stimulating oils, exclusive to Really Good Cellulite Oil, enhance lymphatic drainage. In particular, the lipid (fat) metabolising properties of CGA (Chlorogenic Acid) found in the green coffee bean extract, and the collagen boosting properties of the Ayuvedic herb, gotu kola which helps strengthen the connective tissue, are the stand out ingredients in this innovative cellulite beating formula. “

One year in development, Fushi’s Really Good Cellulite Oil has been vigorously tested on its expert panel. In addition, Really Good Cellulite Oil together with regular body brushing is easy to incorporate in your daily ablutions to tackle cellulite and improve circulation, lymphatic drainage and the appearance of your skin.

Bodytite is a new liposuction technology based on radiofrequency that is the first to enable weight loss in patients of 36 BMI without going under the knife. It is also the first to produce dramatic scar less skin tightening up to 60%, and therefore at last provides a real alternative to traditional liposuction.

Previous options for men and women looking for minimally invasive weight loss treatments, includes Smartlipo and Vaser – both of which are not appropriate for the larger patient.

Smartlipo is suitable up to 25 BMI only and Vaser is suitable up to 30 BMI only. Furthermore, both treatments could not significantly reduce the loose skin often associated with weight loss and loss of skin elasticity, even in the smaller patient. To remove significantly fatty tissue and tighten the skin, traditional liposuction considered major surgery, is still the only effective solution.

Saggy skin around the tummy area due to weight loss or pregnancy is a popular problem amongst women and one which exercise very often cannot rid. Bodytite brings a solution at last for women who dont want to go under the knife. Bodytite is the first treatment that can radically improve skin laxity.

What’s new and better about Bodytite?
- Faster treatment
- Reduced tissue trauma
- Improved safety
- Uniform heating of the skin and subcutaneous layer
- Dramatic skin contraction
- Uses radiofrequency
- Can be used on patients up to 36 BMI

The treatment speed of Bodytite’s uniform heating is much faster than previous devices. It is believed that this high speed is achieved not only through the new radiofrequency, but the more efficient use of applied power, which is not scattered from the treatment tip in all directions. Previous technologies produce temperature distribution that is concentrated in hot spots, which significant parts of the thermal zone is still cold. Application of additional energy creates high risk of burn in the hot spots, but ceasing treatment may lead to lack of uniform heating, no skin contraction and inconsistency of results.

Using the Bodytite device, a new technique has been developed in which treatment is sustained at the target area for a longer time and for the whole treatment period. This allows all soft tissue to reach a uniform temperature, preventing thermal injury and optimizing soft tissue contraction.

Prices start from 2500.

According to the Millennium Research Group, after a sluggish 2009, the global aesthetics industry rallied in 2010 on a worldwide basis, with a market estimated at 3.5B or 2.9B, showing 10% growth that will continue through 2014. The emerging markets of Eastern Europe and Asia show the stronger growth, with certain European markets including the UK, Germany and Nordic countries as well as the US steadily increasing.

The most important product launch in 2010 was undoubtedly FDA approval of Coolsculpting by Zeltiq, a nonsurgical, noninvasive cold laser that melts fat without needles, scalpels or liposuction, followed by Pelleve Wrinkle Reduction System that is most popular for smoothing fine lines around the eyelid area. SilkPeel Dermal Infusion introduced its pore clarifying device that works to unclog pores and control acne breakouts to rave reviews.

Starting out 2011 with a bang, Galderma launched a new portfolio of five facial fillers called Emervel to complement the Azzalure portfolio, coming on the heels of the announcement that they would be acquiring Q-Med, the makers of Restylane, Perlane and Macrolane. The trend for consolidation remains strong with more mergers in the air as some popular aesthetic products are reportedly up for sale.. 2011 may also see an emergence of long duration facial fillers as Danish pharmaceutical company Contura eyes the American market to launch Aquamid.

The other introduction expected in the US for 2011 is from Merz Aesthetics for Belotero, a range of hyaluronic acid gel fillers widely expected to get a nod from the FDA soon. Another huge category of cosmetic beauty treatments is biorejuvenation – such as the newly launched Juvederm Hydrate from Allergan. These mini needle treatments offer consumers another option between creams and facial fillers for restoring sun damaged skin back to a healthy and resilient condition.

Among key beauty trends, lash enhancements continue to take center stage. On a recent segment on The Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda (NBC), Lewis presented the hottest lash treatments on the market, including Latisse as the only FDA approved drug for lash growth, LashDip semi permanent mascara salon service that lasts 2-6 weeks, and individual lash extensions.

“Consumer confidence is finally back! We can expect to see more people seeking out cosmetic treatments in 2011 and beyond with a double digit growth rate in the number of procedures being performed. Although the non-surgical options continue to proliferate, I have seen an uptake among my clientele for modified facelifts and neck tightening, eyelid operations and rhinoplasty,” says Wendy Lewis, dubbed The Knife Coach. “The new age of cosmetic beauty consumer starts at around 30.”

According to Lewis, “Facial treatments continue to rank high, but medical technologies are finding applications for the body as well. For example, Ultherapy was first introduced to lift the brow with deeply delivered ultrasonic energy, and is now being used for the full neck down to the dcolletage.” Skin tightening devices have multiplied on the market and radio frequency energy based systems for wrinkle reduction and body shaping continue to generate excitement among consumers seeking out non-surgical alternatives.

New devices are also revolutionizing the way fillers and wrinkle relaxers are being injected. “Finally practitioners and manufacturers have realized the need to make treatments less painful. Fillers containing lidocaine has become the new gold standard. The emphasis is on pain-free injections through soft needles, injector pens and systems that cause less trauma and bruising,” says Lewis. Biologics, including autologous fat that contains adult stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) made from the patient’s own blood, are another big trend globally as many practitioners are investigating how to combine the two for optimum rejuvenative benefits. Fat grafting was the big news in breast enhancement for 2010 as well to add volume to sagging breasts as well as to camouflage implants to make them look more natural, she adds.

“Regrettably, we have seen a rise in cosmetic surgery disasters and even unfortunate deaths driven by bargain hunters shopping around for the lowest prices and going to clinics where patient safety doesn’t enter the equation,” says Lewis. Hopefully greater consumer awareness of the risks and potential complications, and increased visibility and accessibility of regulating bodies will help reverse this disturbing trend.

Lewis predicts many new product launches, technology innovations, and consolidations in the near future, as new big players are entering the market. Says Lewis, “There are exciting times ahead, and 2011 is going to be a very busy year indeed.”

To ensure full recovery before the holiday season people should book in for surgery before the second week of December, according to Paul Baguely, one of the UKs leading cosmetic surgeons. The 6th December has been named as the best date to undergo cosmetic surgery in time for Christmas and New Year celebrations.

The surgeon, who has 25 years of experience in the cosmetic surgery and weight loss arena, has identified 6th December as the last date that people should have procedures if they want to unveil their new look for Christmas or New Years Eve.

Procedures that may be popular before Christmas include:
Rhinoplasty (nose jobs)
Abdominoplasty (tummy tucks)
Breast Enlargement
Liposuction
Blepharoplasty (eye lid raises)
Botox
Skin Peels

Paul is considered one of the UKs foremost surgeons, performing over 700 procedures a year and specialising in breast, body and hand surgery. He has worked around the world and operates from a number of sites including the BMI Woodlands Hospital in Darlington and the Nuffield Hospital York. He now also holds surgery in a number of towns across the North East including York, Darlington, Yarm and Newcastle.

Paul Baguley said: Those looking into cosmetic surgery are often led by the desire look better and feel more confident. A key time for this is the Christmas season. Scheduling surgery before the 6th of December ensures the new you is recovered and ready to celebrate but people should not rush into surgery to meet this deadline.

Cosmetic surgery is a major decision and recovery times do vary. It is important that clients are offered the right operation at the right time, and in the right way, by a trained practitioner or surgeon who ensures you have all the details needed to make the right decision.

Bioslimming is a new Slimming Program direct from Beverly Hills. In clinical trials the Bioslimming Body Wrap has been shown to dramatically decrease the appearance of fat deposits and cellulite by 67% in less than 4 weeks.

It targets cellulite, fat, burns calories, enhances weight loss and slims, firms and tones producing fabulous visible long lasting results from first treatment.

Bioslimming uniquely uses both hot and cold thermo agents and the resulting heat and active ingredients stimulates the draw of fluid into the capillaries and the absorption of fatty acids and subsequent transport of fat causes the “orange peel” appearance to disappear. The thermo agents stimulate fat burning therefore reducing adipose tissue and they also stimulate the lymphatic system.

98% of women saw dramatic improvement of “orange peel” skin with a reduction of cellulite in just two weeks. 100% of women observed a decrease of 4.5cm around their waist.

Bioslimming is a product of Provence Cosmetics, France and is distributed in the UK solely by Westfield House Distributors Ltd .

Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UKs foremost cosmetic surgery providers.

Their Leeds clinic, which first opened its doors to the public back in the summer of 2008, was the first of its kind on the high street, combining exclusive beauty products and treatments alongside comprehensive cosmetic surgery and obesity surgery advice.

The clinic offers advice on a range of surgical procedures with GMC registered surgeons, from breast enlargement and nose reshaping to liposuction and gastric bands.

The Leeds centre also offers non surgical procedures, including peels, BOTOXTM and fillers for those wanting to turn back the clock, and hyperhidrosis for those suffering from excessive sweating.

The Hospital Groups Leeds branch has built on its success since it opened two years ago and also provides a specialist Nusmile Veneer centre, one of only three in the UK.

The clinic offers the latest dental technology and techniques, including Nusmile Veneers, professional teeth whitening and clear braces.

The clinic, on Albion Place in the centre of the city has already helped to transform the lives of thousands of patients. One of the most recent success stories is 18-year-old Holly Naughton, who finally overcame her crippling fear of dentists after having veneers fitted at the Leeds clinic this year.

Holly, an A level student said: I was going round in circles, I needed a lot of work doing to my teeth as they had really deteriorated. I wanted to go to the dentist, but I was just too scared. I stopped smiling and became really depressed about it. After a while I knew I had to take action and so started to look at private clinics. My dentist was extremely helpful and made me feel really relaxed. Im now over the moon with my new teeth, I feel like a different person. Im glad I didnt wait any longer to have it done as I just cant stop grinning.

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group, said: The advancements in non surgical treatments has been astounding during the last five years. Many people long to change their looks, but are often apprehensive about taking the next steps.

The clinic is open to the public Monday to Saturday from 9am until 6pm, with late non surgical clinics available on Thursday until 7pm. As well as offering non surgical treatments, dental procedures and consultations, the clinic also sells skincare products and offers relaxing nail treatments, including gel and acrylic extensions.

No magic pill or potion has provided the longed for miracle cure for cellulite. However there are many things that can reduce the appearance and effect of cellulite. One option is to use essential oils combined with massage to treat the areas worst affected. Essential oils used in massage stimulate circulation and help eliminate water retention.

For Reef’s cellulite massage, they use a hand blended mix of grapefruit, pine, rosemary and lavender essential oils in pure sweet almond oil. They make no claim though that this will banish cellulite but it is a lovely relaxing massage.

Their 60 mins Reefresh Ultimate Cellulite Massage is Rs8200 (approximately 45.00) and our 90mins Reefresh Ultimate Cellulite Massage is Rs10,500 (approx 60.00):
