Lourdes Specialty Hospital Offers Unique Treatment Option for Medically Complex Patients with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Willingboro, New Jersey (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

In a bustling South Jersey medical community, Lourdes Specialty Hospital (LSH), the first Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) in southern New Jersey and the largest facility of its kind in the Delaware Valley, distinguishes itself as the areas only LTACH offering an inpatient treatment that is unavailable elsewhere in the region -- hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

As a provider of intensive acute care services to medically complex and critically ill patients requiring extended hospital stays, LSH gives patients access to comprehensive services and progressive treatment options such as HBOT to treat a gamut of complex medical conditions.

HBOT works by increasing the amount of oxygen the blood carries to organs and tissues, thereby helping patients heal faster and more effectively. This therapy can be highly beneficial for treating conditions such as non-healing wounds. With HBOT, patients breathe 100 percent oxygen inside a chamber with air pressure greater than normal atmospheric pressure. Oxygen so essential to healing travels through the bloodstream to damaged tissue. When oxygen reaches the injury site, healing accelerates. Along with dramatically boosting the bodys healing time, HBOT also strengthens the immune system.

HBOT is largely unavailable on-site at most area hospitals, requiring ill patients to travel to an off-site facility for treatment. LSH is pleased to be able to provide this service to patients in the convenience of the hospital setting. With the success of the first hyperbaric chamber at Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County, the Willingboro hospital recently added a second hyperbaric chamber to give inpatients greater access to this cutting-edge therapy.

The list of conditions that benefit from HBO therapy has grown exponentially, particularly in the area of chronic-wound care and diabetes treatment. HBO therapy is commonly used in the treatment of:

Wound healing (especially for problem wounds, such as foot ulcers related to diabetes)
Decompression sickness (the bends)
Healing after trauma or surgery or both, including healing of skin grafts or flaps
Bone infections called osteomyelitis
Tissue damage from radiation therapy
Carbon-monoxide poisoning
Burns
Significant blood loss

Lourdes Specialty Hospital of Southern New Jersey (LSH) is a 69-bed Long Term Acute Care (LTAC) Hospital, providing acute care to critically ill and medically complex patients. The hospital provides specialized acute care to patients who require an extended hospital stay averaging greater than 25 days. LSH occupies an 8 million dollar, newly renovated hospital on the campus of Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County. Lourdes Medical Center is a 249-bed facility, which is part of Lourdes Health System. Lourdes Specialty Hospital's interdisciplinary healthcare team and a medical staff of approximately 300 physicians serve the regional communities and meet the unique needs of each patient. LSH primarily serves the Delaware Valley region, including Mercer, Salem, Gloucester, Burlington, and Camden Counties, as well as Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

The Cleopatra Lift - A New Non Surgical Option to Aging Offered by Vancouver Physician

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) May 25, 2013

According to world-renowned scholars, Queen Cleopatra VII was one of the most beautiful and powerful women that ever lived. Cleopatras legendary beauty moved nations and her allure was felt by some of the most powerful men in her time. Cleopatra was also a scientist and used many beauty remedies to keep her skin glowing and fresh, from her legendary milk baths to wrinkle treatments made with bees- wax, maringa oil and cyprus grass.

Cleopatra was said to possess the Golden Ratio, a combination of facial measurements that evoke the most attraction and positive emotion from a human being. It is roughly defined as a face that is one and half times as long as it is wide (1 : 1.618 to be exact). This isnt that impressive on its own, until you realize that this ratio is the key to everything from encrypting computer data to the numbers of spirals on a sunflower head, our own limbs and why the Mona Lisa is so pleasing to the eye.

Other measurements are taken, but the Golden Ratio is the foundation used by many cosmetic physicians to enhance, correct and restore your facial beauty to its most appealing without giving your face an unbalanced or unnatural look.

The Cleopatra Lift at Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skin Care clinic is a combination effect of Xeomin Cosmetic and Radiesse to restore your natural features with a natural collagen lift.

Xeomin Cosmetic is the latest generation Botulinium Toxin type A treatment. Botox was the first of these types of products. Xeomin differs from Botox in one key area: it is free from the complexing proteins, hence its nickname naked Botox or pure Botox. Xeomin is equally ef- fective in reducing and relaxing wrinkles. Comparing Botox to Xeomin is like comparing Coke to Pepsi. The taste is a personal preference, but the fact remains they are both colas that are very similar. Xeomin is used in exactly the same way as traditional Botox treatments, making it easy for physicians to treat patients as the duration, dosing and so on are all very familiar to them already if they have been using Botox.

Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skin Care Clinic has been using volumizing fillers to contour facial features non-surgically and cost-effectively for many years. In addition to Xeomin, Dr Shah also uses a filler such as Radiesse to add back lost volume to facial features.

Radiesse Volumizing filler immediately provides the volume and lift needed to slow the signs of aging due to the calcium-based microspheres and gel that comprise the product. What is unique about Radiesse is that the filler itself provides a scaffold under the skin, a structure that stimulates your own collagen to grow. This process continues for several months, which extends the initial effects of Radiesse. Stimulating your natural collagen to grow gives a person a very natural lift over time that lasts a year or longer, long after the calcium microspheres have disappeared.

The Cleopatra Lift, a combination of Xeomin and Radiesse treatments, provides patients with the ultimate liquid facelift without surgery, a long-lasting treatment that combines the best of both of these procedures with minimal downtime.

Revivogen Hair Loss Treatment Will Now Be Offered as an Option for Salon-Goers

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2013

The many men and women who frequent hair salons for cuts, colors and corrections do so to change up their look or to maintain a certain level of physical appearance to truly exude self-confidence. But hair care is not always so glamorous as nearly 50 million American men and 30 million American women are dealing with hair loss, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

Revivogen is now hitting salons with the intent to create a salon environment where clients will feel more comfortable to open up about their hair loss experiences and seek effective treatments. The Revivogen line of products, which includes Revivogen Scalp Therapy, Bio-Cleansing Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner, is for both men and women suffering from genetic hair loss and is formulated to not only help people achieve thicker, healthier hair, but also to prevent hair loss.

The most recent salon to add Revivogen is Allen Edwards Salon Encino in California, 16101 Ventura Blvd. Suite 155 Encino, CA 91436. Dr. Alex Khadavi, creator of Revivogen and CEO of Advanced Skin and Hair, strives to increase education about hair loss and the natural treatment options that are available to all who are dealing with hair loss. Now that salons are taking the opportunity to offer a medical grade hair loss treatment formulated by a dermatologist, this will only further that education.

Genetic hair loss is one of the most common forms and is caused when the body produces an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is produced when testosterone is delivered to hair follicles through androgen receptors, which is present in both men and women. Revivogen is said to target the formation of DHT in the body from attacking the hair follicles without the use of harsh chemicals. Revivogen is an all-natural dermatologist-formulated treatment for hair loss.

About Revivogen

Revivogen is an all-natural topical hair loss treatment developed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Alex Khadavi, founder and CEO of Advanced Skin and Hair. Revivogen was formulated for both men and women suffering from hair loss who are seeking an effective all-natural solution without any side effects. Revivogen's Scalp Therapy Treatment is proven to offset the effects of male and female pattern hair loss by addressing its root cause.
