P-Shots, Are they worth a shot? What science says

If you’re unhappy with what you’ve got down below, you’re not alone – a lot of guys want to trump nature and increase the size of their penis. They’re constantly on the lookout for a new product or treatment that will give them a bigger package. Men around the world spend billions of dollars each year on erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, but the medications aren’t perfect. They fail in an estimated 30%-40% of guys, and the side effects and high cost can be turn-offs too.

 

Fortunately, there are alternatives.

 

A new one on the market injects platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into your penis to make it bigger. For a lot of men who have been searching for a way to increase their size, this treatment may sound like the Holy Grail. Widely marketed as The Priapus Shot™, invented by Dr Charles Runels, the hype about the treatment is growing. But is there proof that this new treatment will really it bigger? Will this really strengthen the penis or increase stamina, sensation and pleasure? And what are the risks of trying it (as there are always risks)?

 

Let’s talk about what the injection is, exactly. First, your own blood is drawn, then the platelets are concentrated. This platelet-rich plasma is then re-injected into your penis. The treatment is supposed to stimulate regrowth of new tissues and after one or more injections, lead to a bigger penis. Some marketers claim that the injection will increase penis size as much as 10 to 20% in length and girth.

 

In theory, the idea makes sense: use the body’s own healing mechanisms, goosed to new levels, to rejuvenate your penis to be bigger and work better.

The P-Shot is based on PRP therapy used in recovery from muscle and joint injuries and explored for treating chronic health conditions. PRP therapy involves injecting a concentration of platelets from your own blood into your body. Platelets are involved in normal wound healing and mechanisms like blood clotting. The P-Shot involves taking platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood and injecting it into your penis. This means your doctor takes your own cells and tissues and injects them into your penile tissues to promote tissue growth and purportedly give you better erections.

Things you should never put in your dishwasher – Professional Cleaning Tips

No denying the fact that your dishwasher is one of the greatest help available at home right next to your washing machine which helps with laundry, however, you need to be careful with what you are putting in your dishwasher. Negligence can damage your cutlery or your dishwasher itself. Here we are sharing a list of articles that you should not be putting in your dishwasher.

 

1. Wooden Items

 

That wooden spoon that you are quite fond of and the wooden cutting board or the bowl, they are precious and fragile as the organic material holding the wood together can be damaged by harsh detergent and high temperature. Also wood will

 

2. Sharp Objects

 

Cutters, Blades, Knives, Graters, and Sieves, potentially all pointy spiky sharp objects can damage the protective coating on the inner side of your dishwasher and its racks and baskets, and harsh detergent used in the dishwasher can dull the sharp sides of these tools. They also pose a threat of injury when unloading and it might be difficult to seep the soapy water through sieves and remove the remnants of food from them. Thus it is advised that these items should be carefully hand-washed and gloves should be worn when doing so.

 

3. Crystal and Fancy China

 

If you own any expensive, vintage or delicate set of crystal or china crockery you should not risk putting it under the test with the harsh detergent and heat that might crack them. Instead, handle the fragile articles with delicacy and care while hand washing them.

 

4. Jars and containers with paint or paper labels

 

Any containers, Tupperware or cups that have paper labels or paints on them can not stand the harsh treatment of dishwasher. It is recommended you should avoid soaking them in warm or hot water and hand wash them gently without scrubbing too hard.

 

 

5. Copper and Aluminum Cookwares

 

Let’s just say these were not meant for the dishwasher. After washing them a few times in the dishwasher you will start to see the corrosion, fading in colors, lost of lust and even faded spots. Better not get lazy about them and hand wash them.

 

6. Non- Stick Pans

 

While some brands of non-stick pans are ok in the dishwasher, most are not. It’s best to read the instruction leaflet that came with them, but if you have already tossed it out and its too late for that now, you better not take risk and hand wash them. After all, a little laziness on your part can ruin the quality of non-stick pan forever.

 

7. Insulated glasses and Tupperware

 

Insulator container work because they have air trapped between the inner and outer layer of the container and this air act as an insulator and prevent the heat from moving in or out of the container. There is a good chance you will ruin your insulated Tupperware in the dishwasher when water replaces the air trapped between the inner and outer layers of the container. You will not be able to remove the water and the insulation property will be lost forever. It is best that you only hand wash these and never under any circumstances soak them in water unless they are designed for such use.

You can always outsource help and hire a house cleaning service. The Laundry Place has an excellent team of trained and reliable cleaning staff that you can trust.

What is HIFU Face Lift? What are the benefits?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound facelift is a technique that employs ultrasound waves as the source of heat energy to penetrate under the skin layers and help rejuvenate it through firming the skin and reducing the wrinkles on the face.

HIFU facelift is a relatively recent addition in the line of non-surgical facial procedures designed to reverse the signs of aging. It is an effective treatment for wrinkle reduction and firming the sagging skin. It works by delivering heat energy deep in the skin to increase the blood flow and stimulating the production of collagen which is a structural protein and helps to firm the skin. This treatment method is safe, effective and FDA approved.

How does HIFU Face Lift work?

As we age our bodies start to deteriorate and our healing system weakens.  Collagen is a structural protein that makes much of our body structure including tendons jointing bones, hair, and skin. As we age the production of collagen depletes which leads to problems like bald patches, painful joints, and sagging of skin. This is the reason physiotherapist also use similar methods for facilitating healing and recovery ad even treating age-related joint and bone pains. These ultrasound waves penetrate deep into our skin and stimulate the production of collagen which helps rejuvenate the skin, tone up the facial muscles and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

How HIFU is better than RF treatment?

HIFU is a relatively new procedure for aesthetic benefits and usually requires just one session, in contrast, RF is an older procedure and requires several sessions to acquire the same results. HIFU is considered more efficient because it delivers heat energy with more precision and intensity to deeper layers while rf deliveries the same energy in bulk and does not penetrate into deeper layers. It gives more pronounced and long-living results.

What are the benefits of HIFU treatment?

HIFU is an effective treatment for wrinkle reduction, skin rejuvenation, acne reduction, fading scars, and healing.  The added benefits are that the procedure is non-invasive, painless and requires minimal downtime. It is comparatively less expensive than surgery and other options and is suitable for the majority of people. There are minimum side effects or health complications involved.

Today we will explain here what acne actually is, what causes acne and what is the most effective and quickest remedy for acne.

What Causes Acne?

Acne pimples are the basic inflammatory reaction of the body against the dust, dead skin and excess oils trapped in skin pore. Depending upon the nature and intensity of acne, you can get whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or nodules. All of these have different anatomy and must be treated differently. While the role of diet, infections or lifestyle in aggravating acne is not scientifically proven, strong scientific evidence points towards genetics and stress as contributors towards acne. 

What Causes Acne Scars?

When acne lesion or inflammation in the skin layers does not heal normally and instead scar tissues are formed due to lack of collagen, scars are formed. The most common type of acne scars is Atrophic acne scars which are formed due to lack of production of collagen during the healing process. Another problematic scaring after nodular acne is Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) which is basically an accumulation of dark pigmentation on site of the lesion making an appearance of the inflamed dark mark.

How to treat acne and acne scars?

Is PRP Treatment for face Safe During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful time of life for many women, however, most women do not actually feel beautiful during this time. A majority of pregnant women struggle with body image during pregnancy. Some might feel uncomfortable with the weight gain while others feel anxious about the way they look. Many women face skin problems like acne, hyperpigmentation, dark spots and mask of pregnancy or dull and dry skin in general while they are pregnant. This is due to the hormonal changes and can usually be covered by makeup. Most doctors advise that you should avoid getting any procedures done during pregnancy to improve your skin condition. You will be advised to make a healthier diet, plenty of water and appropriate exercise for better skin rather than opting for any treatments that can potentially be harmful to your skin.

 

Obviously, products used in facials and chemical peels can be absorbed into the bloodstream and harm unborn babies in unpredictable ways. Similarly, gettings drips and injections for skin lightening is strictly advised against when pregnant. These can lead to complications in pregnancy and possibly cause deformities in the baby. Introducing anything foreign in your body is a risk that you will not want to take, but what if there was a technique in which we do not put any foreign compounds or chemicals on our skin or in our body. Yes, we are talking about PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma) therapy.

 

Plasma is a blood cell that works on sites of injury and helps in healing, regeneration, and production of structural protein. This makes them a suitable candidate for helping in skin rejuvenation. They work to heal scars, generate new cells and give fresh and younger-looking skin.

In PRP your blood is withdrawn, platelets are separated from it and then this plasma which has a higher concentration of your own platelets is introduced back into your body either with micro-needling or mesotherapy. Logic dictates that since you are not introducing anything foreign in your body, it should be safe for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. However, injections no matter how tiny they are bare the chances of infection. Even if you take all the precautions and avoid getting any infections, it can not be said for sure if a higher concentration of platelets could be a threat to pregnancy or the baby. It is a serious matter and no risks must be taken based on uneducated guesses. It’s best if you seek consultation from a qualified and expert doctor who has appropriate certification. A certified practitioner will be better able to assess your history and based on your case will give you the right advice.

What is the best way to get rid of dark circles overnight?

Do you feel your dark circles make you look like a grim reaper or a panda? Either way, its Halloween season and you can get by. However, if this is not your costume idea and you actually want to look as fresh and young as you feel, these dark circles need to go away. Have you tried the famous cucumber patch thing yet? Didn’t work, right? Thought so, why else you will be reading this article then.

If you are looking for an overnight solution to get rid of your dark circles you have only two real options, either you can cover them with makeup or get laser treatment for them. Sure you can spend your precious time trying the cold compress, cucumber, tomato juice, milk mask, lemon peel, tea bags and coffee scrub but they will not help. I am not saying that these do not work at all but it will be weeks before you actually get to see any difference at all because if those dark circles didn’t appear overnight they are not going anywhere overnight. So let’s get to the two ways you can help your self when you need to instantly get rid of those gruesome dark circles.

Colour Corrector and Counsellors 

If you want to cover it up with makeup go get an orange colour corrector or a good concealer from any brand of your choice. It will do the job at least as long as your make up is on. If you are planning to go swimming or crying during the day, chances are it will not last long. Unless you buy a product which is actually waterproof and smudge resistant.  Then again these expensive products only promise to do their job which is hiding the dark circles under the layers of makeup and once the makeup is off your face the dark circles are still right there smirking at you. 

Now let’s move on to the laser treatment for removing dark circles.

Laser Treatment

If you are tired of home remedies and over the counter topical creams or just do not have the commitment in you to use them every day, this could be a winner for you. Laser therapy works in the same way for the dark circle as it works of hyperpigmentation. The pulse of the laser is capable of acting very precisely and only destroying the dark coloured pigmentation known as melanin. The destruction of melanin accumulation under your eyes gives you brighter-looking eyes. This also triggers the production of collagen which stimulates regeneration of skin giving you even more fresh looking eyes. The results are visible instantly and become more pronounced over the days. Sure this is a more expensive option but it is easily the quickest way to fix the problem at hand for sure. However, eyes are sensitive and you must not risk by hiring services of any unqualified practitioner with no real experience. They can offer you a cheaper price but really it’s not worth the risk. It is a medical procedure and should be carried out by only certified dermatologist with appropriate certification and experience.
