Surrey Doctor Uses Ultrasound Mapping to Identify and Clear Leg Veins

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) May 27, 2013

Tired of Covering up?

Visible leg veins are a source of embarrassment for many, often resulting in patients wearing long pants to cover their spider or varicose veins. New technology, merged with proven methods, now clears veins safely and with greater accuracy than ever before.

What is Ultrasound Vein Mapping?

Imagine an accurate GPS system for your legs. Before veins can be treated effectively, we need to know where to go by identifying the source. Vein Mapping allows us to identify the valves causing the problem and target the correct veins for greater patient satisfaction and less return visits.

Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

Faulty valves that inhibit the flow of blood through the vein and cause it to flow in reverse cause varicose veins. This trapped blood causes the veins to swell and results in the ropey, protruding appearance of varicose veins. Many people, along with the unsightly appearance, experience discomfort, pain, and aching legs. Spider veins, on the other hand, rarely cause discomfort but tend to multiply as we age. They appear below the surface of the skin and are usually blue, red, or purple in colour. The name 'spider vein' comes from the multiple offshoots that occur in a starburst pattern; resembling a spiders multiple legs.

Like Bunnies, They Multiply

Genetics, health, lifestyle and age all contribute to leg veins. As people age, they may notice spider veins becoming darker, more prevalent and encroaching on new territory such as feet. These indicators of age are distressing, yet easily rectified and controlled through a treatment program.

Solutions That Work

At Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skincare Clinic, Dr. Shah provides options to patients, prescribing a singular or combination therapy in order to clear leg veins safely. Vein-clearing therapies include ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, medical support hose, and laser treatment for smaller veins. Facial veins are also treated effectively at our clinic.

Hidden Hearing Respond to Research that Uses Genetic Patch to Stop Deafness

(PRWEB UK) 19 February 2013

Researchers at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago, have developed a tiny genetic patch which can be used to prevent a form of deafness that runs in families, reports the BBC.

Usher Syndrome causes defective sections in a genetic code and causes problems with hearing, sight and balance. In many types of Ushers Syndrome, hearing loss is tied to different errors in the patients DNA. When they try to build a protein called harmonin, which is needed to form the tiny hairs in the ears that detect sound, it does not finish the job.

The study was published in Journal Nature Medicine and showed that some defects can be corrected in mice to restore some hearing. They designed a small strip of genetic material which attaches to the mutation and keeps the body building the protein. Mice with Usher Syndrome were injected with the genetic patch and grew up being able to hear and had no balance problems.

More research is needed to understand how the new therapy could be used in humans.

A spokesperson from Hidden Hearing said:

It is exciting to hear of more developments in the treatment for different types of hearing loss. Scientists have been making great progress and hopefully it wont be too long before some of these treatments are available for humans.

With more than 40 years experience in treating hearing loss, Hidden Hearing is entrusted with the care of more than 100,000 people each year. The firm has 84 hearing centres across the UK, all catering for a range of needs and budgets. Specialising in hearing tests and hearing aids, the company also offer a variety of hearing aid accessories and in 2005, became the first dedicated hearing retailer to be recognised as an Investor in People.

Bellucci Premium Lists Seven Easy and Effective Beauty Uses for Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2013

On April 15, 2013, Bellucci Premium releases a statement following different ways extra virgin olive oil can be used as a beauty product because of its high concentration in mono-unsaturated fats, antioxidants, and vitamins.

According to Babble, there are seven different ways extra virgin olive oil can be used as a beauty product:

Extra virgin olive oil can be used as a great moisturizer. EVOO penetrates deep into cells, to help with cell regeneration and to soften tissue. It can help with dry areas of the skin like elbows, and also plays a role in lessening the appearance of acne scars.

EVOO can be used as a shaving lubricant. The shave can be a little sticky, but EVOO can leave your skin soft.

Body scrub is another way EVOO can be used as a beauty product. Apply olive oil to the skin and scrub with sugar or a coarse salt. You can also mix EVOO with an essential oil, to create a PASTE that smells and feels good.

Mix EVOO with a little water and it can be used to remove wax from your ears. Place the mixture in your ear with an old eye or ear dropper in the evening before going to bed and the oil will help penetrate the wax more deeply.

If you have a dry scalp, applying heated EVOO to your scalp and hair can help moisturize your skin and hair follicles.

Not only can EVOO moisturize your scalp, it can also moisturize your cuticles. Mix with water and soak your hands for a DIY manicure.

A few drops of EVOO on a cotton ball make a great way to remove makeup. Be extra careful around the eyes, and wipe your face in a circular motion.

Natalie Sexenian, Marketing Manager at Bellucci Premium, commented on the seven beauty tips. People know the health benefits involved when adding extra virgin olive oil to their diets, but some people arent aware of the beauty benefits that olive oil can provide. These tips are a great way to use olive oil for its moisturizing benefits, and can also be a lot cheaper than buying beauty products that do the same thing.

Bellucci Premium Toscano extra virgin olive oil uses olives that are grown on the beautiful landscapes of Tuscany, and maintained by 3rd and 4th generation farmers. Bellucci offers three different types of oil, including an organic option, that offers a mild peppery flavor and fruity undertones that will satisfy any palate. The third type of oil Bellucci offers is the worlds finest Italian extra virgin olive oil, grown only by Italian growers in many different regions of Italy.
