The Benefits Of Face Contouring

/0 Comments/in /by

Face Contouring, also known as facial sculpting, is an elective cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the general appearance of the face.

A person’s face comes in different shapes and sizes, and as a person ages, significant changes happen to it. For some, cheeks and chin gain fat deposits. For others, facial lines start to appear visibly, reasons why some people would opt to have their face sculpted or reshaped to restore its beauty.

Face Contouring is an emerging trend in some countries and its goals are to improve the proportion of the face and all facial features, as well as make the face generally smaller. It can make a person’s facial features look more balanced as well as improve facial outline.

Face contouring can be taken advantage of healthy adults who desire to improve the outline or contour of certain areas of their face.

Among female patients, the common goal of the procedure is to make the contours of the face softer and more feminine. Meanwhile, male patients typically want to achieve a more chiseled look and a more masculine appearance.

It is also beneficial for those who suffer from sagging facial skin, mostly due to aging, that causes a person’s face to lose its original contour.

Here are two more benefits Face Contouring can deliver:

  • Reveals a smaller and slimmer face
  • Helps accentuate the facial features

These benefits can be delivered by having FaceSlim, an effective Face Contouring technique, at Shinagawa Aesthetics.

FaceSlim is an effective non-invasive treatment that gives the face more defined contours, and in result reveals a smaller and slimmer face.

There’s not much wonder why LASIK stays as one of the most popular elective surgeries in the Philippines for quite some time already.

Given that LASIK, which stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses, gives one a brighter vision in an instant, its satisfaction rating among patients who’ve had the procedure is constantly and remarkably high. According to the most recent studies worldwide, around 98% of LASIK patients achieve a 20/20 vision or better.

The appeal of LASIK is very obvious – an excellent chance to ditch the glasses or the daily routine and expense of contact lenses, slippery cases, pricey bottles of cleaning and storage solutions. Over time, it even makes sense budget and convenience wise.

To fully understand and grasp the rewards that LASIK present, patients are highly encouraged to do research, watch in-depth videos of the procedures, and have beneficial consultations.

With LASIK, lasers correct eyesight by reshaping tissue under the cornea, the round dome at the front of the eye. The doctor flattens the eye and cuts a flap to reshape the middle section of the cornea. The reshaping of the tissue changes the way light focuses on the retina, making your vision clearer.

LASIK technology has also greatly improved over the years. New lasers and machines are more precise, and minimal patients have the general side effects associate6d with it. Complications from LASIK eye surgery are extremely rare.

In general, the success rate of LASIK is exceptionally high, especially for elective surgery. Success is typically defined by the quality of vision and patient satisfaction. LASIK weighs in at 96% satisfaction, according to the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.

These are proven reasons why LASIK is such an in-demand vision enhancement procedure in the country.

Has Bad Breath Affected Your Life Significantly | Shinagawa Dental Blog

Has Bad Breath Affected Your Life Significantly?

/0 Comments/in /by

Do you happen to wake up and feel uneasy with your mouth odor on most days?

If you have, you are not alone. Bad breath is a very common dental problem that affects millions of people every day.

You might smell it but most likely, you may be wondering, what causes bad breath?

Bad breath can be caused by many factors including poor oral hygiene or homecare, some particular foods, underlying dental or medical conditions, dry mouth and certain lifestyle changes and choices.

The primary cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene. Bacteria from food particles that remain on or in between the teeth can become rotten and a foul smell is emitted. Brushing twice a day and flossing daily can prevent this from happening.

Strong and spicy foods can also cause bad breath. This is because the odor from these foods is expelled from our lungs after the foods are absorbed into the bloodstream.

People with persistent bad breath, known as halitosis, have a dental condition that can attribute to the cause. The conditions could be one of the following: gum disease, poor oral hygiene, decay or cavities, dry mouth, oral cancer, or bacteria on the tongue.

It is important to rule out any medical or dental problems for chronic bad breath. If bad breath is the cause of a dental condition, mouthwash will only mask the odor and not cure it. Such a problem needs to be addressed directly, as it can get worse with time.

Some lifestyle changes can attribute to bad breath. The use of tobacco can contribute to bad breath. The addition of braces and Eating disorders are some examples of these changes and choices.

Here are simple things you can do to get rid of bad breath:

  • Daily flossing
  • Brush your teeth and tongue 2-3 times per day
  • Healthy Diet
  • Do not use tobacco products
  • Good oral hygiene habits
  • Regular visits to the dentist for checkups and cleanings
