Finn - Director (ECC) 34 Years Experience email: info@skonlaserclinic.ca Want to keep a young and fresh look? Our skin ages due to sun exposure and decreased production of collagen. Ellipse treatments of sun-damaged skin (Skin Rejuvenation or Photorejuvenation) help you +. keepra younger and fresher look. Ellipse treatments of sun-damaged skin make your skin look smoother by removing age spots, other uneven pigmentation and diffuse redness. Your skin texture is also improved and many women report requiring less makeup coverage. Facial treatments are most popular; but all parts of the body can be treated. To do this, short, safe bursts of intense pulsed light (called Selective Waveband Technology by Ellipse) are directed at the skin. The system filters the light to ensure the wavelengths used are absorbed by haemoglobin in the fine blood vessels and melanin in the age spots. When cells containing a lot of melanin or haemoglobin are treated, the target heats up and is destroyed within a few thousandths of one second Can | be treated? Treatments are most efficient in patients with light skin who are not suntanned at the time of the treatment. If your skin is less tanned, the contrast between the age spots/blood vessels and background colour of the skin is greater, making treatment easier. However, Ellipse has pre-programmed "settings for different skin types that deliver the correct energy output for your complexion Do | need to take special precautions? It is, however, important to avoid tanning (sun or setf-tanning products) before and during the treatment period. Otherwise your tanned skin will absorb more light; which makes treatment less effective and less comfortable. Generally, nc special care is necessary after treatment, but people should use sun protection (minimum SPE 30) if sun exposure x i cannot be avoided. What can | expect? You may notice that the skin has a coffee grain like crusting for a few days following treatment. After that you will find that your skin looks smoother and fresher. You should see an improvement after the first treatment, but up to 3 treatments may be required to achieve-the full effect.

Along with winter come.winter activities such as skiing, skating, snowboarding, etc. All of these activities require the right footwear in order to keep the feet warm and prevent injury. Here are some tips for making sure you keep your feet healthy for the winter months: * When participating in winter "activities, it is important to wear the right footwear intended for that sport. You should not wear anything other then the right boots for skiing or snowboarding. The boots should fit you properly, stabilize the heel and forefoot, and have enough room in the toe box for you to wiggle your toes. * » You can wear custom made orthotics in your boots to ensure better stability" and to offload painful areas of the feet. 3 + For runners who continue to run in the.winter months, make sure you wear warm clothing that helps to wick moisture away. This will help you stay warm in colder temperatures. Make sure to wear proper running shoes and run in areas that are not too icy to help prevent falls and injuries. Stretching is important to keep the muscles warm. Make sure you stretch before you start your activity to warm the muscles up and increase flexibility. » » Make sure you are wearing the right winter boots. Find boots that are water proof/resistant and that have a warm lining inside. Sometimes warm boots can cause the feet to sweat more making the feet moist. This can actually cause | the feet to chill easily and make them more prone to bacterial skin infections. You can put foot powder in your socks to help absorb excess moisture. « When buying boots fof kids, make sure you buy the right size. Buying boots that are too big can cause blistering, shearing of the skin and also cause injuries. Also make sure'socks are not too small as they can cause the toes to bunch together creating extra frictign. Winter boots should fit to size every season. ve Lastly, do not wear summer shoes in the winter. Wearing sandals or open toe shoes in the cold weather can increase your chances of getting frostbite, and other foot and ankle injuries.

It's too bad that kids can't do that any more. How rampant are these crimes? : A: What'crimes are you referring fo? | believe children should be allowed fo play outside {* unsupervised within some boundaries. | do not believe that they are at increased risk. To answer your question, first we have fo define "these crimes" If you are referring to child sexual abuse, it was not "discovered" until late 80s early 90s so of course we never heard of it but of course it was happening. However, most childhood sexual abuse is familial or "systemic" (church, school) so it is not likely that a child playing outside or going door to door selling cookies will get dragged in and abused. So do we really hear more about crimes against children? | know we heard-about some cases but these are rare and therefore; "glorified" and make the news. | do hear of a number of cases in my work, but these are not children so they have nothing fo do with the current abuse rate. It has more: to do with what was happening 20:40+ years ago. : Now if by "these crimes" you are referring fo physical abuse, that was first noted in the 60s and | think it is likely about the same rate now except reasonable parents now know corporal punishment is not considered good parenting so in that way, it is reduced. Lastly, if "these crimes" mean assault and rape, | don't kivow if that is more prevalent but we do hear about it more and now rapists have for better "tools" of: oppression such as the date rape drug. But first, it is very unlikely that children playing 6utside would be dragged in and raped. Secondly, we can let our children have independence while still supervising them. When my boys | had a paper route; | would often be on he.street keeping an eye on them especially on collection day. Finally and most important, how do today's children learn fo protect themselves and lessen the risk of their getting: assaulted if they never get the opportunily fo think independently? Of course, | don't mean children should not be. closely monitored, but at what age do we fake them from being completely protected to suddenly allowing total independence? For many, it is not until they are at the post secondary level that they get to go out unsupervised or monitored How do we prepare young people to evaluate risk; say no fa authority figures; or learn to trust their "gut? Talking to children about danger has no meaning without context. It is our job to provide context in calculated, safe environments. Know their route. Know their timing. Be out there to watch and see that they, when they'don't know you are there, are respecting themselves and following the rules. Guide rather than control because one day we won't be there tohover and decide for them and | believe children are better off if they can do it for themselves. DR.
