Signs You Need To Know About Aging Skin

/0 Comments/in /by

Understand the signs that you should read when it comes to aging skin.

If life is about change, skin is one of the best proofs. How your skin ages depend on factors like your lifestyle, diet, heredity, and personal habits.

What are the visible signs of aging skin?

Skin visibly changes in several ways as we age and a lot of it has to do with things beyond your control.

As we age, skin becomes:

  • Rough, dry, and itchy.
  • Slack. The loss of the elastic tissue (elastin and collagen) in the skin with age causes your skin to become slack and hang loosely.
  • Transparent. This is caused by thinning of the epidermis (surface layer of the skin) and dermis (deeper layer of the skin).
  • Fragile. Increased skin fragility is caused by flattening of the area where the epidermis and dermis (layer of skin under the epidermis) come together.
  • More easily bruised. This is caused by thinner blood vessel walls.
  • More prone to developing skin lesions, such as non-cancerous (benign) tumors.

If you’re noticing some signs of aging skin, you can have it checked so it can be taken care of. We can help you and your skin age gracefully.

LASIK Makes Diving Easier for Chem Palarca | Shinagawa Feature Story

LASIK Makes Diving Easier For Chem Palarca

/0 Comments/in , /by

Being a diver isn’t easy when you have blurry vision. Chem Palarca attests to that.

“As a free-diver and multisport enthusiast, having a 450 myopic vision was definitely a challenge! Contact lenses are my go-to’s. There was always that fear that at any time if water would enter my mask or goggles it would affect my performance,” shared Chem.

She decided to make things easier for her by having LASIK.

“This year, with the lockdown and canceled races and dives, I decided to give myself something very special for my birthday… a LASIK surgery. Now, I have a 20/10 vision! I’m so ready and pumped up to train for my dives and races soon! Thank you, Shinagawa!”

Don’t make things more difficult for you if you live an active lifestyle. Brighter eyesight awaits you. Schedule your LASIK screening!

LASIK A Revolutionary Way To Improve & Own Your Vision | Shinagawa Blog

LASIK: A Revolutionary Way To Improve & Own Your Vision

/0 Comments/in , /by

Unlike glasses or contacts, Laser Eye Surgery, LASIK in particular, is not a temporary fix but permanently adjusts your vision. Many patients achieve a higher visual acuity from LASIK than is possible with glasses or contacts.

  • LASIK offers sportsmen and women and anyone who is an active clear and limitation-free vision
  • LASIK is one of the safest elective procedures in the world
  • Over the long term, LASIK may be the cheapest form of vision correction

The main difference between glasses, contacts, and LASIK is that it doesn’t temporarily adjust your vision by adding an additional lens on top of the eye. Rather, it permanently changes it by eliminating the refractive errors.

The first major benefit of this is it frees you from having to wear glasses and contacts and, as a result, having to deal with all their drawbacks. Repairs, replacements, trips to the optometrist, risk of infection, dry eye, irritation, limits on exercise, stress — LASIK is the most convenient form of vision correction out there as once you’ve had it done, you can forget about it and get on with your life.

Virtually 100 percent of patients who receive the standard treatment of LASIK achieve 20/40 vision, and over 95 percent achieve 20/20 or better.

It’s not uncommon for patients to reach an even higher level of vision with LASIK. For example, 97 percent of short-sighted patients see 20/20 or better — which includes those who see 20/16.

LASIK is also an increasingly viable option for people with prescriptions that have struggled to find a suitable form of vision correction.

The versatility of the treatment also means it has, for the first time, afforded people an actual solution to getting rid of reading glasses.

On that note, having now been performed on over 35 million people, LASIK as a whole is a well-established treatment and considered by experts as one of the safest and most effective forms of elective surgery in the world. And even though it comes at a high upfront cost, over the long term it actually very often works out to be the same or cheaper than contacts or glasses. This is also backed up by patient satisfaction and quality of life, with LASIK patients reporting a significant improvement in the quality of life after surgery.
