Vaginal laxity/asymmetry While pelvic floor training and Kegel exercises may be recommended to tighten the vaginal muscles, there is no evidence that such isometric exercises result in vaginal tightening. Surgical vaginoplasty, however, has a high patient satisfaction rate. Nonetheless, some women plan to have more children or don't want to have surgery, and they may want to consider nonsurgical options that utilize laser or radiofrequency ("RF") energy.

Both laser and RF heat up the tissues, resulting in increased collagen formation. Although the technology is new for vaginal treatment, one study looked at RF treatment with surface cooling to protect the vaginal skin and was found to improve vaginal tightening and female sexual function when compared with a sham group.

Vaginal Rejuvenation This is a treatment that has been growing exponentially in terms of popularity. In the past, even talking about such a thing was taboo. It was also not marketed much either.

Varicose/thread veins Varicose veins usually announce themselves as bulging, bluish cords running just beneath the surface of your skin. They almost always affect legs and feet. Visible swollen and twisted veins -- sometimes surrounded by patches of flooded capillaries known as spider veins -- are considered superficial varicose veins. Although they can be painful and disfiguring, they are usually harmless. When inflamed, they become tender to the touch and can hinder circulation to the point of causing swollen ankles, itchy skin, and aching in the affected limb.
Varicose veins are a relatively common condition, and for many people they are a family trait. Women are at least twice as likely as men to develop them.

Veeners They are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. They are an option for closing gaps, enhance the shape, or change the color of teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures. In the majority of the cases, some level of tooth reduction is necessary for optimal results. To achieve a pleasing smile, dentists fabricate diagnostic mock-ups, which act as a tooth preparation guide before the fabrication of veneers, it allows the dentist to visualize the changes needed to be done on the patient's teeth with respect to size, shape and proportion, its relation with gingival-contour, lip contour and smile line. Mock ups can be a great aid in fabricating pre evaluation temporaries, which can give a preliminary evaluation to the esthetics, phonetics and teeth occlusion, in addition, it gives an opportunity to the clinicians to check if they need to do any corrections.

Venus legacy Both cellulite and loose or sagging skin are common complaints for many women. Over time, the skin naturally becomes less elastic, which can lead to drooping and sagging. Traditionally, lifting surgeries were necessary to improve the appearance of lax skin. Now, there is a new treatment designed to tighten the skin, address cellulite and reduce volume on the face, neck and body! Venus Legacy™ is a non-invasive device that uses multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed magnetic fields to create a therapeutic heat matrix over the skin. It creates a thermal reaction under the tissue that stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood circulation and causing the skin to contract. This results in a reduction of cellulite, noticeable tightening of the skin, and even a decrease in localized fat deposits. The treated area will immediately look smoother and firmer.

Vitamins & skin Taking care of your skin should be an essential part of your health regimen. It is, after all, your body’s largest organ. The first thing most health professionals will tell you to do in order to keep your skin healthy is to limit your exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (uv) rays and wear protective sunscreen when you’re exposed to sunlight.
