4 Reasons To Try Silk n SensEpil Hair Removal
silk n sensepil vs Tria.jpgThe Silk n SensEpil is physician and FDA approved for at home hair removal. It uses high intensity light to safely and easily remove unwanted hair from any area of the body. It is lightweight and small making it very easy to hold and use. Its easy maneuverability and large treatment area allow the fastest hair removal possible.

SensEpil employs a state of the art skin sensor that offers additional safety to the user by disabling the unit if your skin tone is too dark. It includes 5 comfort settings that allow even those with skin tones too dark for other devices the ability to use the Silkn. Simply touch the device to the skin and the unit detects skin contact. The safety sensor tests the skin and then activates a pulse from the unit. After the unit pulses, you move to the next area. This all happens in milliseconds providing an ultra fast and simple hair removal treatment.

Professionally applied hair removal treatments at a salon or physicians office can cost from $1000 to $1800. They will charge this much for only one area of the body. But with the SensEpil, you can treat as many areas as you like. With the Silkn, you spend a fraction of the cost of of a salon treatment and still get the beautifully smooth skin you desire all in the comfort of your own home.

SensEpil uses the new Home Pulsed Light (HPL) Technology. HPL was invented by Silk n Laser and has literally revolutionized home hair removal. It provides safe, effective hair removal that will leave your skin silky smooth. For most users, the hair removal is permanent. Sometimes, a very fine type of hair will start to slowly grow back. If this happens, a quick re-application will put the hair follicle back into a dormant state stopping hair growth once again.

The SensEpil comes with 5 comfort setting to allow a completely painless hair removal experience. If you should feel any discomfort, simply turn the adjustable comfort setting down by one and the discomfort should disappear. Some users may experience dry skin which is easily remedied with a light lotion.

When you compare the Silkn to salon laser treatments, waxing or even shaving, the time and money you save with the SensEpil will pay for itself in no time. It is truly a breakthrough in home beauty technology that will give both men and women professional hair removal results in the comfort and convenience of their home.


Ex-Smokers Say Thanks To The E Cig
e cig smokers.jpgThe results are in and in turns out that more and more people around the world have stopped smoking and are replacing their nasty habit with the E Cig. Users report a dramatic reduction in the number of cigarettes they smoke and many smokers have completely kicked their habit.

Those who still use a few cigarettes say they are on their way to quitting completely by slowly reducing the nicotine level in the e-liquid they use (e-liquid is available in various levels and is included in your starter kit). They also find the wide variety e-liquid of flavors, like Marlboro, Camel and Winston, a big help because using their brand makes quitting that much easier.

Even the life time smokers, some as long as 20 years, are reporting they have gone from 3 to 4 packs per day down to 3 or 4 cigarettes per days thanks to the e cig. This is particularly helpful for those suffering from chronic diseases like bronchitis, COPD and and other breathing issues. The toxins, contaminants and tar in tobacco cigarettes can severely exacerbate any type of chronic lung condition. If you have any chronic breathing condition, you should definitely speak with your physician about the ecig.

One last positive about the smokeless cigarette is that you will not gain weight while quitting smoking. If you have ever tried kicking the habit, you know that along with the cravings come hunger. This almost always results in weight gain while trying to quit. But with the e cigarette, you won't have cravings for cigarettes or an increase in appetite. Add to this you  save huge money because you only have to buy atomizers and batteries and it is a win-win situation.





5 Reasons You Should Try An E Cigarette
e cigarette user.jpgWe know cigarette smoking causes approximately 1 in 5 deaths in the US. According to the American Cancer Society, cigarette smoking is the largest preventable cause of morbidity. They say that most peoples believe that most people mistakenly that nicotine is the cancer causing element of cigarettes and this makes them avoid nicotine replacement devices when trying to quit smoking. Those trying to kick the habit without nicotine replacement are 5 times more likely to fail at their attempt.

The truth is that nicotine does not cause cancer. It is the 3000 plus other chemicals in cigarette responsible for all the deaths. Nicotine, is however, extremely habit forming and make smokers keep smoking even when they know of the adverse health effects. It should be noted that studies have shown in animals nicotine may increase the rate of growth of existing cancers. No one knows if this is true of humans but more study definitely needs to be done.

Over the past few years, technology of the e cigarette has greatly improved. The smokeless cigarette, as it is called, is now smaller and more user friendly than ever before. It provides an alternative to smoking that is non toxic and will also save the user money. It has not been approved by the FDA as a smoking cessation device but one thing is clear, the e-cigarette will provide a nicotine dose with no harmful smoke.

As the ecig does not emit any smoke, the issue of second hand smoke is no longer present. The only thing released by an e-cig is a water vapor containing very minute amounts of nicotine. There is no smell, ash or flame present making this a very interesting smoking alternative indeed. And with the improvement in technology also come a reduction in price putting the e-cigarette within reach of all smokers.


Does Home Laser Hair Removal Really Work
Girl Using Laser Hair Remover.jpgLadies, we all know how time consuming and tedious our daily beauty ritual can be. Hair, nails, make-up and shaving can take up enormous parts of our day. So when I heard about an easier, faster way to keep my skin smooth, soft and hair free, I did some checking and here is what I found.

Over the past decade, laser hair removal has become the number one way to maintain your legs, bikini area, eye brows and upper lip. The reason is laser hair removal is by far faster and more efficient than waxing, shaving or stringing. The problem is the cost. Visiting a physicians office for laser treatments will literally cost you thousands of dollars not to mention the time involved with making, keeping and waiting for appointments. But now, there is finally an answer... Home Laser Hair Removal.

With home laser hair removal, you purchase your own laser and apply the treatments in your own home. These units work exactly like those used by your physician without the hassle involved with a doctor visit. They make your skin, beautifully smooth and hair free like shaving or waxing never could. You can use it anytime, anywhere and best of all, you only pay once for the unit. No more recurring costs for repeated visits.

There are many styles of home lasers but the main difference is whether it uses a diode laser or what is called an IPL (Intense Pulse Light). Both types work the same way. They apply a short burst of high energy light that penetrates the skin to heat and inactivate the hair follicle. Since the heat is only applied to the tiny hair follicle, you feel little to no discomfort. You basically feel a warm sensation during use of the laser and afterward the warmth is gone. Another difference is that some lasers are rechargeable and cordless while others are plugged in while being used.

The costs of laser hair removers varies from around $200 to around $600 with the more expensive units being able to treat larger areas during application. The 3 brands I researched are the Tria -- a cordless, diode laser that retails for $599 with a 30 day money back guarantee. This is the top of the line unit and includes many accessories in the starter kit.

There is also the Silkn -- this is a corded IPL unit. It has a very large treatment area (1 in by 1&1/4 in). The larger treatment area will greatly reduce the time required for each treatment. this one retails for $499 and has a 60 day money back guarantee.

Lastly is the Epila -- another cordless diode laser unit. It has the smallest treatment area of the 3 but is also the least expensive at $179.

When deciding on you unit, take into account whether you need a cordless unit and how much time you want to spend on each treatment. After that, decide on a price. You are then ready to through away your shaver and never worry about razor stubble again.


Personal Laser Hair Removal System
Personal Laser Hair Removal2.jpgWhen people talk about the Laser Hair Removal, they are actually referring to two different types of light technology. There is the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) epilators (technically not lasers but xenon flash lamps) and there are the actual diode lasers. Both types are often referred to as "Laser Hair removers" and work alike by applying a high intensity flash of light to the treatment area resulting in hair removal.

Laser hair removal has been around since the mid 70s. Recently, these devices have become available to the general public for home use and are known as the Personal Laser Hair Removal System. The Personal Laser Hair Removal System is accepted as safe by dermatologist and they have the same success rate at permanent hair removal as the laser treatments provided by physicians.

Laser Hair Removal works through a process known as photothermolysis (heating by light energy). The laser selectively targets the melanin in the hair follicle. The light actually goes through the skin without heating it to act on the follicle. Repeated exposure to the heat and light disables the hair follicle resulting in permanent hair removal.

Laser hair removal systems work best on people with light skin and dark hair. This combination allows for the best penetration of the skin by the light. The laser can be used on most any part of the body and both men and women have had great success with the process.

Multiple treatments are required for permanent hair removal. The number of treatments varies with the individual and the type of device used. You can expect to see results after as few as two treatments and permanent hair removal after as few as five treatments. This again varies from person to person depending on the skin color and type of hair being removed.

Each treatment is spaced by between two and ten weeks depending on each individuals response to the treatment. Normally, you will wait until the hair you have treated falls out until you apply the next treatment. Normal side effects during treatment include redness, swelling and itching of the treatment area. Most user report little to no discomfort.

The cost of the laser hair removal device can range from $200 to $1000 and will vary with the type and number of accessories (replacement lamps etc.) included in the set. The size of the application area will also vary with the larger lamps costing more as they can treat a larger area decreasing the time required for each treatment.




Bright Future For Ecigs
Over the last year, popularity of the electronic cigarette has grown at an mind-boggling rate. girls using ecigs.jpgOnce a hip gadget for those in the know, this holiday buying season has thrust it into the public eye like no other new technology. Current reports from local club and restaurant owners show an increased interest and use of ecigs in their establishments. The new mainstream exposure has been a blessing for those of us using an ecig and the many smokers interested in purchasing this newest of the new technological breakthroughs.

For those still not familiar with electronic cigarettes, they are a small, battery powered device that looks, feels and tastes exactly like a cigarette but has none of the adverse health effects associated with tobacco. They are rechargeable and refillable offering an economic incentive with the incredible ability to immediately improve the health of the smoker. Check out the latest information on ecigs, their safety and how they can save you money.

Increased holiday exposure of the electric cigarette appears to have accomplished what millions of dollars spent on education and marketing in 2009 could not do..... Bring the product from trendy, fad status to the everyday, common consumer and provide 2 huge benefits while doing so. First, with the tremendous increase in users, the FDA will have a much tougher time banning them under the guise of health concerns. The FDA report from July 2009 concerning the safety of ecigs, since debunked, is still being used to fuel the Government and Big Tobacco's efforts to remove the ecig from the market. Both players stand to lose millions in revenue when the smokeless cigarette replaces tobacco cigarettes and they are not happy with this.

The second advantage of the popularity increase will be LOWER PRICES!!! Just like everything else, Plasma TV's, computers etc, prices will drop making the electronic cigarette more affordable to more people than ever before. Improved production efficiency along with increased market competition have pushed merchants to offer deep discounts and special prices to maintain after Christmas sales. Single ecigs, starter kits and all accessories are now at an all time low. So if you have been looking to buy an electronic cigarette, now is the time to do it.


Electric Cigarette Safety | Who Is Telling The Truth?
electric cigarette articles.jpgAs the controversy over the safety of the electric cigarette continues, both sides of the debate are holding their positions with neither showing signs of backing down any time soon. In short, the FDA has made claims that the smokeless cigarette is dangerous. Back in July, the FDA performed what is now considered a flawed study showing contaminants in the liquid used in ecigs. Their opponents are the millions of people using the electronic cigarette to combat there addiction to cigarettes and of course the companies that make millions of dollars selling these controversial alternative to cigarettes.

I believe that all of the information should be presented and the consumer allowed to make their own decision. It is very difficult to sort through the immense amount of information available on the ecig so here are a few news articles with information on the electronic cigarette that should be considered.

FDA smoke screen on e-cigarettes; Cigarette substitute produces no deadly smoke

In this article from the Washington Times, Dr. Elizabeth M. Whelan responds to the FDA report condemning smokeless cigarettes and answers some common questions about e cigarettes.

This is the actual analysis on the methodology of the FDA's report condemning ecigs.

Public Health Physicians to the FDA: Don't Write Off Current Smokers
This article from Tobacco Truth highlights the American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) letter to the FDA demanding they release and clarify the data gathered while performing their study of the ecig

Here, The Tobacco Analysis Blogspot discusses the negative impact the FDA's study may have had on the health of millions of Americans.

FDA and Public Health Experts Warn About Electronic Cigarettes

Here is the actual FDA report outlining the potential toxicity of ecigs

I believe these articles provide a pretty reasonable consensus of the information available on the electric cigarette. It may appear biased that most of the information goes against what the FDA's study reported but I could find no articles to support the FDA's findings or theories. Also, please remember the ecig is not or has ever been approved medically as a smoking cessation device.



The Fate Of The Electric Cigarette
electric cigarette girl.jpgIf rumors are true, the largest cigarette manufacturer in the U.S., Philip Morris, will take of control the market for the Electric Cigarette domestically and abroad. Knowing that the FDA now has the ability to regulate tobacco products, as per the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009, this appears a strategic move by the cigarette giant. The intentions of Philip Morris are unclear but rumors are brewing that they may try and shut down the electric cigarette industry completely or possibly release their very own ecig and attempt to stomp out the competition.

Rumors began circulating in July of this year when Quamnet, a financial website based in Hong Kong, leaked information that an independent 3rd party had entered negotiating with Ruyan Group. Ruyan is the original inventor of the e-cigarette and registrar of electric cigarette patents in more than 40 countries. Neither companies have denied or confirmed allegations at this point but negotiations appear to be moving forward.

More recently, in October of this year, Ruyan Group was rumored to have liquidated all of their office space for $3.5 million dollars. The purchaser is currently remaining anonymous. Stock market volatility resulted in the trading of Ruyan's stock being suspended on 11/2/09 due to a pending  "price sensitive announcement". When you look at all of these signs, I would expect PM to own the rights to the company and its patents within the next year at the most.
