Hi-Tech Beauty-Buster Fixers
Whether your problem is thinning hair or acne, there are a few hot, new products on that claim to take away everything from wrinkles to too much hair. The products use some of the same technologies that a dermatologist may have used on you -- lasers, LED lights, and infrared light -- and you can use them all in your own home.
But do they work?
"These products provide at-home versions of procedures typically performed in a doctor's office: light treatments, laser hair removal, or chemical peels," says Linda Wells, editor in chief of Allure magazine.
"In terms of at-home treatments, this is just the beginning."
Wells and some Allure staffers visited The Early Show Wednesday and reported on the effectiveness of products the staffers tried for several weeks.
SLU researchers to look at laser treatment for acne scars
ST on Monday, January 14, 2008 ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine plan to test a special laser treatment that might improve acne scars on people with darker skin. The scars are difficult to remove. Physicians usually treat the scars by removing the surface of the skin with powerful lasers or chemical treatments. These treatments can cause discoloration for people with darker skin. Dermatologists at Saint Louis University plan a clinical trial to see if a gentler laser treatment might help. The technique would use lasers that bypass the surface of the skin and stimulate collagen growth underneath. .
Living with acne
Drugstores offer a mind-boggling array of products and treatments that range from "The Power Pimple Peel" to the formidable sounding "Teminator 10," next to long-time standards such as Clearasil and Stridex. A stroll down most crowded malls will find a kiosk marketing Proactiv, the skin regimen touted by celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Vanessa Williams and Sean "Diddy" Combs as an acne cure-all. "The over-the-counter stuff isn't necessarily bad for mild acne," Ganz said. "Look for topical creams, products with salycic acid or benzoyl peroxide; that's what's in Proactiv, by the way," she said. But you might want to see a dermatologist if the over- the-counter products don't work after two months, both Ganz and Lawley advise. "If they're using these things regularly, and the (skin) is not responding after two months, it should be worth it to go to a dermatologist and start prescription treatments," Lawley said.
