Leptin, the Weight Loss Assessment Connection

What is Leptin and how is it related to Weight Loss Assessment?

Weight loss assessment is such a complex topic, just as complex and our individuality. Recent studies refute the idea that diet and exercise are the answer to weight loss. Contrary to what we have been taught to believe,  diet and exercise alone are not the key players in weigh loss. Scientific research and discoveries have introduced the new key player: leptin.

Leptin is a hormone that regulates our brain, telling it weather we have enough fat stored in case of urgent starvation. Besides this, the new kid on the block, is responsible for other functions, such as: fertility, immunity, brain functions and others.

Leptin is the key hormone regulation our body energy balance with respect to how much we eat and how much fat our bodies need to store.

In a nutshell Leptin is....

a hormone that regulates the calories we eat and burn, as well as how much fat we carry on our bodies. Leptin is produced in the fat cells. This knowledge is key in the game of weigh loss assessment.

Leptin is suppose to tell the brain that we don't need to eat

Leptin is stored in fat cells and it is carried by the blood to the brain, in the hypothalamus, telling us how much to eat. Low levels of leptin tells the brain our body needs to store more fat, thus signaling a sense of hunger.

The mechanics at work is a negative feedback, and it is how many other systems in our bodies function.

Leptin resistance leads the body storing more fat

When there is a leptin resistance the brain is unaware that it has enough fat stored and it stores some more. This leads to obesity. This can be the case for instance with problems in nerve transmission caused by neurotoxins, to give a good example. 

As a result, the brain signals the body to eat more or spend less energy, which results in overeating or laziness. Willpower in this case is rendered powerless. 

Thus... Losing weight causes the brain to send signals to gain more, resulting in eating more and gaining the fat back, and this is important to consider when conducting a weight loss assessment

 When we loose weight we loose fat and with that leptin. As the leptin levels decrease our body responds by gaining it back.

Known causes of Leptin resistance

Inflammation:  both in animals and humans inflammation causes leptin resistance. Free Fatty Acids: elevated levels of free fatty acids increases fat metabolites, resulting in leptin resistance The presence of high leptin: too much leptin has been found to cause leptin resistance

Reversing Leptin resistance:

The simplest means of knowing you have a leptin resistance is by looking in the mirror. A lot of fat surrounding the belly area is an almost sure indication.

The best way to reduce the issue is by reducing inflammation inducing foods.

Consider:

avoiding processed foods eating more fiber exercising getting plenty of sleep reducing carbohydrate intake eating more protein

Laser Skin Resurfacing Acne Scars

Laser Skin Resurfacing Acne Scars

What is the best option when looking to improve your acne scars? There are many options to help improve acne scars, such as: chemical peels, dermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing to name a few. Ho to know which is best?

Laser skin resurfacing seem to deliver the best results so far. While there seemed to have been to standard measures for acne scar improvement, findings suggest that Laser Skin Resurfacing is up to 90% more precise and effective, than dermabrasion and chemical peels. A rough abrasive edge is used to remove surface skin during dermabrasion and chemicals are being used during chemical peels to remove scared skin. 

There are a variety of lasers being used for skin resurfacing and they are named according to the source that creates the energy beam working to treat the tissue. Some lasers are more effective for certain procedures and skin types.

What Should You Expect from Laser Skin Resurfacing for Acne Scars?

The outcome of Laser Skin Resurfacing acne scars, depends on the scar depth and patient expectations. Before and after Laser Skin resurfacing images suggest that Laser Resurfacing is most effective on shallow scars that can be stretched with the fingers. 

A 50% to 80% success rate has been noted, and it takes the skin moths to remodel. In some cases additional treatments may be recommended, depending on the patient's goals and level of expectation. 

What are the Types of Lasers Available for Skin Resurfacing on the market today?

There are ablative and non-ablative lasers and as of late the emergence of hybrids has given way to a whole new means of treating many cosmetic skin imperfections. 

Ablative vs. Non- Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing

Ablative Lasers

Examples of ablative lasers are: CO2 and Erbium. These are more invasive and work by vaporizing the outer layer of the skin. These cause the skin to restructure and remodel collagen formation. Ablative Lasers have been used with great success, however they tend to require a greater recovery time and a higher risk. 

Non-Ablative Lasers

Great examples of such lasers are: CoolTouch,Fraxel and N-lite. These options are far less aggressive and work by heating up the targeted tissue, without actually destroying it. This caused collagen restructure, filling in acne scars and fine lines for instance.

A series of treatments are best when using non-ablative lasers, as they work cumulatively. 

Ablative and Non-Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing Acne Scars
