What Is GentleMax Pro?

GentleMax Pro is a single consolidated system that delivers a range of treatments-all skin type hair removal, as well as pigmented and vascular lesions.

This unique facial skin tightening and rejuvenation way of treatment produces dramatic results. It effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles, loose and sagging skin for a smoother and more youthful appearance.

GentleMax Pro is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process. The laser infrared light beam penetrates deep into skin tissue and a controlled amount of heat affects the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing it to tighten.

Here are some of the key benefits that GentleMax Pro delivers:

  • Effectively tightens and contours loose and sagging skin
  • Smoothens skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Get noticeable results immediately after treatment
  • No Downtime
  • Permanent removal of unwanted or excess hair in all skin types
  • Removal of benign keratoses and/or sunspots on all parts of the body
  • Correction and rejuvenation of areas with diffuse sun damage on the face and body
  • Treatment of facial redness and broken blood vessels

Aside from being able to treat all skin types, it’s also the perfect laser hair removal treatment for those of you who are looking for more flexibility and quicker treatments.

The Difference Between Vision Screening And Comprehensive Eye Exam | Shinagawa LASIK Blog

The Difference Between Vision Screening And Comprehensive Eye Exam

You might’ve heard about the different examinations available for your eyes, but what exactly are they?

A lot of people with vision problems wonder if vision screening and comprehensive eye exam are the same. Basically, not exactly.

Those two types of eye tests present slightly different objectives. Let’s tackle both.

Vision Screening

A vision screening is a brief, general evaluation of a patient’s current visual health. The primary objective of this is to quickly determine if a patient is at risk of developing vision problems that can interfere with the life it is living. Also, it is key to know an eye grade of a patient to project a possible treatment, may it be wearing eyeglasses or further eye procedures.

Vision screenings normally measure visual acuity, determining whether a patient needs the use of corrective eyewear. An optometrist, pediatric eye care specialist and general physician are all qualified to perform eye screenings.

Comprehensive Eye Exam

Comprehensive eye exams involve a more in-depth and extensive analysis of a patient’s eyes with the use of cutting-edge machines.

Undergoing a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years helps in the prompt identification of vision problems and their corresponding solutions. If one has a vision problem, it’s important to identify it as soon as possible and provide the appropriate treatment to avoid further eye problems and damages.

At Shinagawa, our advanced comprehensive eye checkup requires our patients to undergo various procedures to thoroughly analyze the different components of their eyes and map out specified treatments for them. Furthermore, our machines present the most advanced technology to accurately provide the best exams and results.

It is also an integral part in terms of determining whether a patient can be eligible for LASIK or not.

If you’re already having nagging visual problems, it’s definitely time for you to prioritize your eyes and have your comprehensive eye checkup at Shinagawa to see how we can provide the right treatment.

Preventing Skin Problems | Shinagawa Aesthetics Blog

Preventing Skin Problems

Skin problems vary greatly in symptoms and severity. They can be temporary or permanent and may be painless or painful. Some have situational causes, while others may be genetic. Some skin conditions are minor, and others can even be life-threatening.

Still, there are simple ways for you to prevent and fight off basic skin problems.

These proven and effective tips can help you prevent skin problems that might occur.

  • Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and water every day
  • Use moisturizer
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or other irritants
  • Avoid environmental and dietary allergens
  • Sleep for at least seven hours each night
  • Avoid very hot baths and showers. If your skin is dry, don’t use bubble baths. Moisturizing soaps may help. Afterward, use a standard skin lotion, but don’t put lotions between toes. The extra moisture there can encourage fungus to grow.
  • Prevent dry skin. Scratching dry or itchy skin can open it up and allow an infection to set in. Moisturize your skin to prevent chapping, especially in cold or windy weather.

While minor skin problems can be prevented and treated with an effective regimen, it’s always best to consult a dermatologist if you feel you have an alarming skin problem.

One of the most important things in skincare is making sure you regularly consult a dermatologist. If you are not able to solve a skin problem on your own, our dermatologists are experts in that aspect.
