Stretch Marks Are a Thing of the Past with New Non-Invasive Procedure

Dr. Simon Ourian develops breakthrough Coolbeam treatment to treat old and new stretch marks and restore beauty.

2010-10-18

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, October 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) Unsightly stretch marks no longer have to be something you just cover up, thanks to a groundbreaking procedure developed by Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director of Epione Medical in Beverly Hills. The procedure has already restored beautiful skin to scores of patients in what is a quick, relatively painless and non-invasive procedure that can be done on an outpatient basis.

Initial results have shown that in many cases, Dr. Ourian's new Coolbeam technology is more effective than dubious and inconsistent over-the-counter creams and much easier and accomplished with less pain than other treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion. Coolbeam is a specialized laser treatment with cooling that is designed to trigger the growth of new collagen that restores the skin's original elasticity.

While other laser treatments have been applied to stretch mark removal, Coolbeam typically does not require a recovery period, and can be used to treat stretch marks on a wide variety of patients. "Stretch marks can result from pregnancy, weight gain, or even adolescent growth spurts," said Dr. Ourian. "It's a very common problem, even in men, but it's one that can be easily and safely addressed. I developed Coolbeam in response to seeing too many people seeking relief from this embarrassing condition, wasting countless dollars on ineffective creams and painful treatments. We've made tremendous progress in this area, and I've been very pleased to be able to help so many patients completely eliminate their stretch marks."

Stretch marks occur when tissue under the skin loses its elasticity, and starts to tear. The body naturally tries to repair itself, but the result is stretch marks. Coolbeam works by triggering the cells underneath the skin to create new cells and pigment, and triggering growth of new collagen to restore the skin's natural elasticity. The procedure can work on all types of stretch marks, regardless of how old or extensive they may be.

"I've talked to a lot of people who have sought out treatment for stretch marks, and have heard too many stories of painful treatments and long recovery periods," added Dr. Ourian. "In developing Coolbeam, I wanted to give my patients an effective treatment to restore their natural beauty and self-image, but I wanted it to be virtually painless. I've accomplished that with the cooling effect of this specialized treatment protocol."

Visible Scars Introduces New Apparel Line, Picking Up Where Mood Rings Left Off

2010-10-18

In the 1970s, America saw the introduction of Mood Rings, which changed colors based on an individual's body temperature. The 1990s gave birth to heat-sensitive clothing, with similar color-changing features. Today, a new apparel company has announced the release of a clothing line evolved from these previous concepts - but with a deeper psychological twist. Visible Scars is introducing emotion-based apparel, featuring mood-altered clothing designs. Visible Scars Design & Apparel, based out of St. Petersburg, FL, found the need to answer the requests of consumers, given ...

Researchers find nonprofit weight loss program beats obesity

2010-10-17

AURORA, Colo. (October 14, 2010) - In the battle against obesity, new research has found that it may not be necessary to spend a lot on a weight loss program when cheaper, nonprofit alternatives may work just as well. Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus found those who spent three years in the nonprofit Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) program lost five to seven percent of their body weight and kept it off. "This is the first time a study of this size and duration has ever been done on a weight loss program," said Nia Mitchell, MD, MPH, ...

Using discards, scientists discover different dinosaurs' stomping grounds

2010-10-17

New Haven, Conn.—By examining the type of rock in which dinosaur fossils were embedded, an often unappreciated part of the remains, scientists have determined that different species of North American dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period 65 million years ago occupied different environments separated by just a few miles. Hadrosaurs or duck-billed dinosaurs, along with the small ornithopod Thescelosaurus, preferred to live along the edge of rivers, according to the research. Ceratopsians, on the other hand, which include the well-known Triceratops, preferred to be several ...

Small BMI change in overweight children could have big blood pressure impact

2010-10-17

Small changes in weight can make bigger differences in the blood pressure for overweight children, compared to those at normal weight, according to a new study. Researchers tracked blood pressure, height and weight of 1,113 children over time, with the longest follow-up exceeding 10 years. They then compared the children's body mass index (BMI, a measure of body weight) to national charts adjusted for age, sex and height. Kids with BMIs in the 85th percentile or higher are considered overweight. "Below the 85th percentile, BMI effects on blood pressure appear to be fairly ...

Team of chemists produces biodiesel at their university, using used cooking oil as a basis

2010-10-17

The cafeterias at the Catering School on the Leioa campus of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) use litres upon litres of oil for cooking, given that many students, research workers, lecturers and ancillary staff eat there. Currently a truck takes away all the waste. However, a number of Chemistry Faculty lecturers have demonstrated that this oil can be used and revalued at the university itself, having managed to produce biodiesel from the used oil. According to lecturer Ms Eneritz Anakabe, "we have shown that it can be done on a small scale, that biodiesel ...

Paper highlights blood pressure risk in overweight children

Sophia Antipolis, 15 October 2010: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) welcomes the findings of a paper presented today at the American Heart Association's High Blood Pressure Research 2010 Scientific Sessions (HBPR 2010) held in Washington, DC, USA. The paper details research into the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in children. It concludes that an increase in BMI in already overweight children risks a far greater rise in blood pressure than would the same increase in BMI in normal-weight children. Commenting on the paper, ESC spokesperson ...

2 studies present new data on effects of alcohol during pregnancy

2010-10-17

Scientific data continue to indicate that higher intake of alcohol during pregnancy adversely affects the fetus, and could lead to very severe developmental or other problems in the child. However, most recent publications show little or no effects of occasional or light drinking by the mother during pregnancy. The studies also demonstrate how socio-economic, education, and other lifestyle factors of the mother may have large effects on the health of the fetus and child; these must be considered when evaluating the potential effects of alcohol during pregnancy. A ...
