OK, EXPLAINING DABIS SCARRING because @good-lord-not-books asked

*note these are just my hcs and some medical research

I'm putting this under a cut because it's long as hell, and I apologize in advance for any typos or if it's confusing. I have no problem explaining further♡

His scars are hypertrophic. which 1) explains the discoloration. It's what happens when the smaller blood vessels become partially or fully obstructed with scar tissue. They typcially start off pinkish or light red. (like when he woke up from his coma.)

Typically the treatment for this is laser removal. But if you don't have access the color may naturally shift with age/as it natueally heals. But with continuous damage to the areas.. the scar will get darker as the veins and tissue is further injured (the deeper into the skin and possible muscle it damages)

most hyrpertophic scarring can take a year + to heal. but obviously Dabi just keeps making his worse. The scars themselves are cause by the body over producing collagen for wound healing and not actually being able to break all of it down.

Which leaves collagen fibers in the skin to harden and thicken. Hardened skin doesn't allow much give, lessening the skins elasticity over all. Which can be shown in the way his unscarred skin pulls along the edges where the dermal rings line said scars. (my thoughts on his staples acrually being dermal rings will be at the end)

That's not even going into the nerve damage systemically for him considering hes covered in that kind of scar. So when he says he can't feel a thing it's literal as the nerve endings are shot to shit. And that is only going into skin deep level.

Interal organ nerve damage is a whole other mess due to the scaringbeing from burns. As severe enough burns cause systemic damage. (will also go into atfer the scarring part)

His skin looks TIGHT on him. If he did have and semblance of sensation in his nerves it might feel like hella tight/dry skin. Also I think hypertrophic scars are an inflammation response to the body healing.

His body is literally misshapen from it. (and yes we love him the way he is) You can see in panels where the skin is probably softer where there's lack of muscle definition but can see where it's tighter or pulling over his arms/ shoulders/ribcage because the skins elasticity is non-existent. The instances where it's sifter looking is probably due to his body trying to retain as much body fat it can to keep healthy (or as healthy as it's going to get in his state.)

As far as it going right up to his lower lids and having zero tear ducts. that man has chronic dry eye like it's nobodies business. so itchy and possibly bleeding eyes isn't a shock. he probably has several counts of grand larceny in artificial tears alone.

Ok so as for his scaring being from burns, burns affect the whole body and how it works depending on the severity.

It can effect muscle tissue/muscle mass, bone structure and interior organs.

Given he seems to be perpetually giving himself 3rd degree + burns .. his respiratory system and cardiovascular system are probably shot to shit. Just from smoke inhalation and perpetual injury. (hypertrophic scars fill the veins with scar tissue remember) Assuming how deep the burn and scar tissue goes.

But we haven't seen him with much breathing issues so I'm assuming it's whatever. He has mentioned motion sickness and we've even seen him turning down food. So I can at least go into it's affects on his GI tract.

In the GI tract, burns can result in increased gastric secretions, reduced intestinal motility, decreased nutrient absorption, increased GI mucosal permeability, bacterial translocation and increased intra-abdominal pressure. If it's bad enough he may have ulcers or gi hemorrhaging. Severe burns also cause liver and intestinal damage.

The fact that he's been alive this long is wild if he's been homeless this whole time and just committing small crimes to not die. One thing that irritates me is when people think he would be incredibly unhygienic due to the scars and such.

Like do you understand how CLEAN you have to keep burn injuries to keep them from getting infected?? Even if it's layered over already damaged and scarred skin. He might smell like burnt flesh but I doubt he's letting wounds fester.

Yes he could probably just cauterize himself but that's still just burning burn wounds. Especially with 0% health insurance. I always assumed he kept breaking into the Todoroki family home when he knew no one would be there to do basic things to make sure he didn't die on the street over the years.

Quick add on to my thoughts on his staples just being dermal rings to homd his skin together/as a form of human Kinstugi.

They (the rings) are pretty rounded in the manga, surgical staples aren't nearly that large either so I always assumed human Kinstugi regardless of metal color (between manga gold or anime silver) and it was both decorative and necessary for his skin.

I just assumed wherever the rings weren't, it was just spots he couldn't reach.

it's also shown in the manga that he's adjusting/adding more along his scars.

als, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the term Kintsugi, it's this

Kintsugi (Japanese: 金継ぎ, lit. 'golden joinery'), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The method is similar to the maki-e technique. Its the Japanese philosophy that the value of an object is not in its beauty, but in its imperfections, and that these imperfections are something to celebrate, not hide.

which I think suits his character very well when his piercings and dermal rings are gold looking in some of the colored manga art.

ok, I'll shut up now, ♡

One thing about fights that are fought in their lions, at least, is that they always feel safer. They’re still life-threatening, of course. And in fact they lost Shiro for months in a lion-fight. But there’s still something innately more comforting about being surrounded by an armoured war machine, and said war machine offering a comforting mental presence in the back of your head, compared to fighting face-to-face with people three times your size who have a penchant for blood. 

There’s the added bonus of difference, too, that’s helping Keith calm down. He’s still pretty high-strung, and he still keeps a carefully eye on Lance and Red, but there’s enough of a visible difference between today’s mission and the mission in his nightmare that he feels slightly less like he’s going to throw up. 

“Head in the game, Mullet!” Lance crows, startling the hell out of him. “I’m beating you 32-20! What, are you shooting with your eyes closed?”

“That would be a pretty good score, in that case,” Keith says, and for the first time in hours and hours a smile tugs on his cheeks. Figures, that Lance is the one who can put it back on his face. 

“Oh, yeah right. Pay attention, dork. Or don’t. If I smoke you again then I’m the winner this week, and you are beholden to me.”

There’s a scoff over the comms. “Yeah, I’m sure he’ll be so sad about that.”

“Can it, Pidge,” Keith snaps, scowling. God, nothing like an annoying sibling to take your mind off everything. 

Lance laughs, though, and it wipes the grouch right off Keith’s face. “Mhm, he is kind of obsessed with me, huh? Loves to give me special treatment. I’m simply that irresistible, aren’t I, Samurai?”

“The only part of me that is irresistibly attracted to you is my fist to your face.”

“Okay, dearest. Whatever you say.”

Keith rolls his eyes, face still flushed, and refocuses on shooting ships out of the sky. He manages to shoot one seconds before Lance’s laser hits it, filling his comms with angry Spanish cussing. 

“What’s wrong, Sharpshooter?” Keith taunts. “Not fast enough?”

“Eat my bullets, you doo-doo head!”

“Doo-doo head? Are you seven?”

“Seven seconds away from astral projecting into your lion and smacking the shit out of you –”

“Alright, Luke and Lorelei,” Hunk says drily, “I’d love it if we could maybe focus on killing space Nazis and not on whatever the hell you two are doing.”

Keith can hear the pout in Lance’s voice. “Mean. You ruin all my fun, Hunky.”

“Yeah, yeah. Focus.”

They do cut the banter, though. Slowly but surely, they reduce the swarm, picking off the fleet ship by ship, driving them away from this planet for the first time in what’s probably been centuries. Keith really starts to feel light, finally. The nightmare is already fading to the vestiges of his mind, Lance is fine, and they’re wrapping things up. Maybe tonight he and Allura can spar. There’s nothing like getting his ass beat concave to get his mind off any possible stress.

The worst part about it is that no one knows exactly when it happened. There’s space for banter on missions like these, of course there is. They’re not sitting in miserable and stressed silence unless it’s real bad. But they’re also focused on their own shit. Shooting lasers really isn’t as easy as it looks. One second they’re clearing the last few dozen ships. Then Hunk is calling out a warning for a Zaiforge cannon. Then they hear it fire. 

It’s – Keith doesn’t look. He’s spent the whole fucking mission with a half-eye on Lance, terrified, but the Zaiforge cannon fires and he doesn’t look? He doesn’t fucking look? 

“Fuckin’ – finally,” Shiro mutters. “God, they do not give up. Everyone good?”

“Ugh,” Hunk groans. 

“I’m going to sleep for nineteen hours,” Pidge agrees.

“It wasn’t too horrible,” Allura tries.

“No, it sucked,” Keith says, finally allowing himself to collapse back into his seat. He waits for Lance’s inevitable teasing, his agreement with Allura – he always agrees with her, especially when she disagrees with Keith, because he thinks he’s funny – but it…doesn’t come. 

Keith sits ramrod straight. “Lance?” he shouts, and there’s no masking the desperate fear in his voice. “Lance, come in!”

He hears a choked noise come over the comm. A wave of déjà vù is so intense it’s like a bucket of ice water dumped over his head. 

He ducks his head, bowed, chin trembling.

He’s never prayed before. Not once in his life.

“Please.” A chill ripples down his spine. “Please,” he begs, choking on a sob. “Please, please, please.”

When he finds the strength to look up, into the space in front of him, littered in debris from their fight, he sees Red.

Parts of her. In pieces. Her leg, a claw, her jawbone. 

There’s not even a body for them to recover.

hello friendly void,

I started a new medication early last week, and surprisingly, it's working very well. My mania is more controlled and my lows are often short lived. I'm even able to skip my mid-day naps most days. I started my own business and, though it is still in the start-up stage i've been working very hard on it.

I began exercising more frequently, which is hard and often makes me feel like shit about myself because some days i can only stand to do 5 minutes on the treadmill and that just doesn't seem like anything compared to how i used to work out. But the sweat and pain tell me otherwise.

I have gained more weight unfortunately. And though I absolutely loath my buddha belly, I had a moment, for the first time since i gained weight that i felt absolutely beautiful. And that was nice.

I began smoking again. i hate it for me too, sis. I desperately want to quit but the withdrawals from it make me paranoid and messes with my schizoaffective symptoms. Oddly enough, my sister, who is schizophrenic informed me that tobacco does indeed help with schizophrenic symptoms. however, being confused as the older sister is killing me.

I got a lipfiller touch up, and they look -perfect-

I feel beautiful.

I also got a little bit of filler in my smile lines and some botox to hopefully help with my migraines and to make me a little foxier. just a touch. When I got the botox shot itself it completely cleared up the current migraine i was suffering through. So i may need to look into acupuncture! I'm hoping my primary care dr will send a referral to a neurologist so i can get botox for migraines covered by my insurance.

but i adore laser-away Seattle and absolutely love them for making me feel beautiful and always giving me a pleasant experience.

I do have a favorite there; her name is Elisabeth. I refer everyone i talk to, to her because she is wonderful. She makes me feel like a friend, and is so pleasant and always finds me the best deals, steals, and treatments. I'm excited to send her pictures of the Botox working in a couple days. my favorite injector is Payton. She understaaaaaands the assignment. every. time.

love to you, ladies.

Achieving a Radiant Smile: The Secrets of Teeth Whitening

A bright, white smile is often associated with youth, health, and beauty. However, factors such as aging, lifestyle habits, and certain foods and beverages can cause teeth to become discolored or stained over time. Fortunately, teeth whitening treatments have become increasingly popular and accessible, offering a way to transform dull teeth into dazzling pearls. In this blog, we will explore the secrets of teeth whitening, including the different methods, benefits, and debunking common myths surrounding this cosmetic dental procedure.

Understanding teeth discoloration:

Before diving into teeth whitening techniques, it's essential to understand why teeth become discolored. The two main types of tooth discoloration are extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains occur on the surface of the teeth and are commonly caused by consuming dark-colored foods and beverages, smoking, or poor oral hygiene. Intrinsic stains, on the other hand, occur within the tooth structure and are often a result of factors like aging, genetics, certain medications, or dental trauma.

Teeth whitening methods:

In-office professional whitening: This is the most effective and quickest way to achieve a noticeably whiter smile. During an in-office whitening procedure, a dental professional applies a bleaching agent directly to the teeth and activates it with a special light or laser. The process usually takes about an hour and can significantly lighten the teeth in just one session.

At-home whitening kits: Dentists also offer at-home whitening kits, which include custom-made trays and professional-grade bleaching gel. Patients wear the trays for a specified amount of time each day, typically for a few weeks. At-home kits provide gradual whitening results and allow for more convenience and flexibility.

Over-the-counter products: Supermarkets and drugstores offer a wide range of over-the-counter teeth whitening products, such as whitening strips, gels, toothpaste, and mouthwashes. While these options are more affordable and readily available, their effectiveness may vary, and the results may not be as dramatic as with professional treatments.

Benefits of teeth whitening:

Enhanced self-confidence: A bright smile can boost self-esteem and confidence. Teeth whitening can give you the assurance to smile freely and proudly, knowing that your teeth are radiant and beautiful.

Youthful appearance: Teeth tend to darken and yellow with age. Whitening treatments can help reverse the effects of aging on your smile, making you appear younger and more vibrant.

Improved oral hygiene habits: Many individuals who undergo teeth whitening treatments become more conscious of their oral health and hygiene. This often leads to improved brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, as they strive to maintain their newly whitened smile.

Debunking common myths about teeth whitening:

Myth: Teeth whitening damages enamel.

Fact: When performed correctly and under professional supervision, teeth whitening treatments are safe and do not harm the enamel. The bleaching agents used in whitening products have been extensively tested and approved by dental authorities.

Myth: Teeth whitening results are permanent.

Fact: While teeth whitening can produce long-lasting results, the effects are not permanent. Over time, teeth may gradually darken due to natural aging and lifestyle factors. However, periodic touch-up treatments can help maintain a bright smile.

Myth: Teeth whitening is only for celebrities or those with perfect teeth.

Fact: Teeth whitening is suitable for anyone who wishes to enhance the appearance of their smile. It is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that can benefit individuals with various types of tooth discoloration.

Conclusion:

Teeth whitening offers a simple and effective way to transform your smile, boost your confidence, and regain a youthful appearance. With professional treatments available both in-office and at home, achieving a brighter smile is more accessible than ever. By understanding the different methods and debunking common myths, you can make informed decisions about teeth whitening and enjoy the benefits of a radiant smile that leaves a lasting impression. Remember to consult with a dental professional to determine the most suitable whitening option for your unique needs and to ensure safe and optimal results.

I don't think he got a blephroplasty (eyelid surgery) but I think the botox has lifted his eyebrows slightly giving him that weird surprised look. His forehead just appears to be getting bigger and bigger and like mod said adding botox to that makes it resemble some giant shiny dome. I know the holivia haters call her megamind (which... I do admit I find very funny) but it applies to wigrry too

that nickname is harsh. i imagine up close she looks normal, but at a distance when half of your face is frozen it just gives a very uncanny valley vibe. it's ironic they called her that when harry has the same issue! his receding hairline makes it even worse. it's very noticeable that half his face is frozen.

i agree about his surprised eyebrow look.

if i were his beautician i would be recommending he get collagen treatments, microneedling, laser, microdermabrasion to stimulate the collagen he has. i would also tell him to get a proper skincare routine and to stop smoking, vaping, sunbathing and doing drugs.

The figure flees the room

The first wave of robots surge forward

The girls break their original formation to charge

A montage of fighting begins

A hammer smashes the body of a robot

Sword slashes appear in another robot

It breaks into pieces

Bladed whips tie around a flying robot before it explodes

A pile of robot parts sit before the compute

The girls run to the next room

They reach the hallway

Beneath them the floor begins to shake

It opens into a pit of water that buzzes with electricity

Thousands of electric eels swarm the water below

A few have laser pointers attached to them, that make marks on the walls surrounding the hall

The girls stand at the door in hesitation

The middle girl perks up – an idea coming to her

She uses her whip cuff links as a grappling hook, lodging into the ceiling

The girls leave the villain tied to a telephone poll

As they walk out of sight a large flash appears

Where the three young girls once were, they’re replaced by three old women

They pass a building with a graffitied mural that shows their magical girl personas

STORY TREATMENT:

A dolled-up news anchor sits behind her desk holding papers with the days stories on them.  A ‘breaking news’ banner appears across the bottom of the screen, and the anchor begins to report on an epidemic of stolen identities occurring in the city of Oldsville.  An old CCTV blasts the story into a living room where an old woman sits on her couch, the light of the TV silhouettes her as she listens to the report.  Another silhouette figure sits in front of several screens, all flashing different things, as they furiously type away at their keyboard.  To the left of the figure, the drivers license of an old man appears on the screen.  More scrambled typing occurs, then a graphic flashes below the ID, “IDENTITY: STOLEN.” The figure continues to work, the computer screens are the only source of light in the dark room they sit in.  From behind them, an explosion leaves a large hole in the wall, the figure turns to face it.  From the hole, smoke clears to reveal three girls holding various weapons, they look determined and powerful. The figure scrambles back towards their computer and presses a large red button next to their keyboard, before quickly fleeing the room.  From the shadows, a menagerie of robots appears ready for battle.

The girls break formation to begin their fight.  The first wave of robots surge forward, and the girls begin to fight, swinging hammers and swords and whips.  They manage to create a hefty pile of robot parts when they turn to leave the room.  In the hallway, they stop when the ground begins to shake.   The floor beneath them starts to move, revealing a pit of water that buzzes with electricity.  Electric eels writhe below, a few have lasers strapped to their heads, the beams occasionally coming out of the water to zap at the surrounding walls.  The girls hesitate, wondering what to do, when the middle girl perks up, she has an idea.  She uses her whip cuffs as a grappling hook, launching it into the ceiling, creating a vine like swing.  She swings over with the first girl, swings back, and does the same with the second.  They paused only for a moment to stomp out a small fire started on the costume tail of the second girl, where the eel laser had hit it.  Entering the next room, the girls slow to a stop when faced with their third foe.  A small boy holding a bat stands at the center of the room.  Confused, they exchange glances with each other when a thunk is heard.  The girl with the hammer crouches down with pain, holding her knee.   She glares over at the boy who had smacked the back of her knee with his bat.  Exasperated, they grab the bat from the boy, and hang him by his shirt on a hook on the wall.  They give him matching disappointed looks as he pouts from where hangs.  They move on to the final room.

At the top of a large robot, stands the original figure.  They have hooked themselves up to the robot, controlling it like a jaeger pilot.  It steps forward, arm coming out to reveal the weapons placed on its body.  The girls waste no time, jumping into action, moving with each other in a practiced formation, hitting at the robot.  They hit, parry, and shoot at it, a flurry of action that explodes into dust and smoke.  When it clears, the villain lies defeated, battered, and bruised on the floor, the girls towering over them in victory.  They tie the villain up on a telephone poll, leaving them with the bat boy as guard, before authorities come.  The girls walk away, a successful mission.  When they crest a hill disappearing from sight, a large flash appears in the sky.   Where the three girls once were, now walked three old ladies, chatting casually with each other as they moved through the city.  They pass by a building with a mural painted on it.  It’s of the Gamma Ray Girls, and as the old ladies walk by they match up with their individual alter egos.

How to Remove Dark Circles Under Eyes Permanently: A Comprehensive Guide

Dark circles under the eyes can be a persistent and frustrating concern for many. They can make you look tired, aged, and unhealthy, even when you’re well-rested. Fortunately, at AAYNA Clinic, we offer several effective treatments to help you remove dark circles under eyes permanently and regain a youthful, refreshed appearance.

What Causes Dark Circles?

Before diving into treatment options, it’s essential to understand the common causes of dark circles, as they can vary from person to person. Some of the main factors include:

Genetics: For many, dark circles are hereditary and more common in certain ethnic groups.

Aging: As we age, the skin around the eyes thins, and we lose collagen, making the blood vessels under the skin more visible.

Lack of Sleep: Poor sleep can cause puffiness and darkening of the under-eye area.

Allergies: Allergies often lead to inflammation and irritation, which can cause blood vessels to become more prominent.

Dehydration: When the body is dehydrated, skin under the eyes may appear dull and sunken.

Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress can all contribute to dark circles.

Permanent Solutions for Dark Circle Removal at AAYNA Clinic

At AAYNA Clinic, we take a personalized approach to treating dark circles, ensuring the best possible outcomes for each patient. Below are some of the most effective treatments available:

1. Laser Therapy

Laser treatments are one of the most popular and non-invasive options for dark circle removal. They work by targeting the pigmentation and stimulating collagen production in the skin. The result is a smoother, more even-toned appearance. Our advanced laser technologies are safe and offer noticeable improvements after just a few sessions.

Benefits: Non-invasive, minimal downtime, long-lasting results

Ideal for: Individuals with pigmentation issues or thin skin around the eyes

2. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, especially those containing hyaluronic acid, can be used to fill in hollows under the eyes caused by aging or volume loss. These fillers plump up the area, making dark circles less noticeable and giving the skin a more youthful appearance. The results are immediate and can last for up to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used.

Benefits: Immediate results, long-lasting effects

Ideal for: Those with volume loss or deep tear troughs

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy is a natural treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate the under-eye area. A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed, and injected back into the skin under your eyes to stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration. This method not only reduces dark circles but also improves skin texture and firmness.

Benefits: Natural treatment, minimal risk of side effects, long-lasting improvements

Ideal for: Individuals seeking a natural approach to dark circle removal

4. Chemical Peels

Specialized chemical peels designed for the delicate under-eye area can help reduce pigmentation and improve skin tone. The peels remove the outer layer of damaged skin, revealing fresher, lighter skin underneath. This treatment is ideal for those whose dark circles are caused by pigmentation issues.

Benefits: Non-invasive, improves skin texture, gradual results

Ideal for: Pigmentation-related dark circles

5. Microneedling with RF

Microneedling combined with radiofrequency (RF) therapy stimulates collagen production and skin tightening, effectively reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. The procedure involves tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process, improving skin tone and firmness over time.

Benefits: Stimulates collagen, tightens skin, minimal downtime

Ideal for: Individuals with both pigmentation and texture issues

Laser Operation For Kidney Stone in Bangalore | World of Urology

Why you should opt for Laser Operation for Kidney Stone?

Kidney stones are hard accumulations of salts & minerals of the body in the urinary collecting system and are a prevalent problem for many individuals. Stones that are small < 5mm can often pass away on their own. Most stones remaining in the system tend to grow in size and might need surgical intervention to be removed. Nowadays, doctors are opting for laser operation for kidney stone removal due to its effective results and ease.

Here are some common signs and symptoms of kidney stones:

1.    Sharp and Fluctuating Pain: The pain can abruptly and intensely occur in the back, side, lower abdomen, or groin area, with its intensity fluctuating periodically.

2.    Painful Urination: Discomfort or pain while urinating.

3.    Frequent Urination: Needing to urinate more often than usual.

4.    Blood in Urine: Pink, red, or brown urine due to blood.

5.    Cloudy or Foul-Smelling Urine: Changes in urine color and odour.

6.    Nausea and Vomiting: Feeling sick and vomiting due to pain.

7.    Fever and Chills: Infections may lead to fever and chills.

8.    Painful Groin: Pain radiating from the back to the groin area.

Laser Operation for Kidney Stones:

Laser Operation for removing kidney stones is technically termed RIRS (Retrograde Intra Renal Surgery) is a process that employs a laser to remove stones from the kidney and urinary tract. The stones are fragmented by the laser. Small stone fragments are picked up by the surgeons and others pass spontaneously through the side of the stent. There is no need for incisions because the scope is passed through the voiding passage only. The doctors assess and inspect the patient and the position of the stone. Surgery can be required to get rid of the stone, relying on its location, type, size, nature, and other aspects. Surgery is advised in large renal stones, stones causing severe pain not responding to analgesics, stones impacted in the ureter, or kidney function is adversely impacted by the stone. Laser surgery provides the least invasive way to treat complex stone problems.

Patients are fully informed of the procedures when they go to the doctor with problems related to kidney stones. Additionally, the experts give all the essential details and directions regarding laser operation.

The following is a list of common suggestions provided to patients before surgery.

For those who smoke frequently, it is advised that they cease it a few days before their surgery.

Regular medications taken by the patient are reviewed and few medications may be withheld on the day of surgery

The procedure is done under general anaesthesia and minimum of 6 hours of fasting is recommended.

Benefits associated with kidney stone removal method by laser:-

Hard stones can be fragmented using Laser.

Doesn’t involve cuts or holes in the body.

One-day hospital stay and short recovery period to get back to normal daily activities.

Large and small kidney stones both can be eliminated by employing the kidney stone laser treatment.

Stone-free rates are much higher with Laser lithotripsy when compared to US-shock-wave lithotripsy.

Postoperative care following a kidney stone laser operation, as advised by a urologist: 

After a laser operation for kidney stones is performed by a urologist, postoperative care is essential for a smooth recovery. This includes managing pain with prescribed medications, maintaining proper hydration to flush out stone fragments, and adhering to activity restrictions to avoid strain on the surgical area. Regular follow-up appointments with the urologist are crucial for monitoring healing progress and addressing any concerns. Dietary adjustments may be recommended to prevent new stone formation and support healing.

How to Remove Fat under Chin

INTRODUCTION

Chin fat or double chin can be a concern for many people. It adds to the issues of body image in many cases. Cellulite deposits and fat mainly cause it. Chin fat is usually associated with obesity. There are many ways to get rid of chin fat. There is no magical remedy to target just the chin fat, but toning up your entire body can remove chin fat too.

HOW TO LOSE UNDER CHIN FAT

Diet management

Fat loss needs proper diet management. Cut down the calories, but increase the protein intake. While going on a calorie-deficit diet, there are chances that you will lose your muscle mass. To counter that include an extra amount of protein in the diet. This will help keep the muscle mass and lose just the fat.

Avoid processed and sugary food in your daily diet. This will increase the free glucose and fat deposition in the body. This will result in weight gain.

Drinking high-calorie sodas, and canned drinks will also lead to weight gain. Avoiding them will help in keeping the body weight at bay. Drink plenty of water. It is necessary for fat metabolism and retaining muscle strength.

Including more fiber in the diet will help metabolism regulation and proper digestion-assimilation-excretion. This will result in a toning up of the body.

A high sodium diet can also result in chin fat. Reducing the sodium intake is needed to get rid of chin fat.

 Exercises

Including exercises can help in losing the fat from the whole body, and the face as well. Facial exercises can help in losing chin fat. Facial exercise can help tone and slim the face. Puffing the face, clenching exercises, holding a clenching smile, and holding water in the mouth are some exercises you can do.

Include cardio exercises. This will help lose the overall fat and tone the body. Including more strength training exercises in the regime will help strengthen the body. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) helps the body to give maximum effort in shorter intervals. This will help to increase muscle strength while losing major fats.

Lifestyle changes

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help you lose fat while gaining muscle. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and choosing an active lifestyle can help in reaching your goal.

Stress can be the main reason for fat deposition in the body. Managing stress by meditation, avoiding stressful encounters, getting help when needed, etc. can help maintain the weight. In addition, this will give you a happy life.

Sleep deprivation must also be taken into consideration. An organized life with proper wakeup and sleep time, decreased screen time, etc. will help with your fat loss.

Surgical methods

Surgical methods such as cheek liposuction, face liposuction, buccal fat removal,  etc. are used, to remove the extra fat deposits in the face. This helps give shape to the face. These surgeries are performed under anesthesia.

Non-surgical methods

Cosmetic procedures such as laser treatment where laser beams are used to remove fat and crypto-lysis where the unwanted fat cells are frozen, solidified, and removed are also used to remove chin fat.

Teeth Whitening in Hennur, Bangalore — Brighten Your Smile at CureAlign Dentistry

What Causes Teeth Staining?

Teeth can lose their natural whiteness due to several reasons, many of which are part of daily life. Common causes of teeth staining include:

Food and Drinks: Consuming dark-colored foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, can stain the enamel over time.

Smoking and Tobacco Use: Nicotine and tar from cigarettes and tobacco products leave yellow or brown stains on the teeth.

Aging: As we age, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth wears away, revealing the natural yellowish color of the dentin underneath.

Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics like tetracycline, can cause tooth discoloration if taken during tooth development.

Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and food debris to build up on the teeth, leading to staining.

At CureAlign Dentistry, we understand the factors that contribute to discoloration and offer tailored teeth whitening treatments to meet your specific needs.

Professional Teeth Whitening: Why Choose It?

While there are various over-the-counter whitening products available, professional teeth whitening offers significant advantages in terms of effectiveness, safety, and long-lasting results. Here’s why opting for professional whitening at CureAlign Dentistry is a smart choice:

Customized Treatment: Professional teeth whitening is tailored to your unique needs. Your dentist will assess the level of discoloration and recommend the most suitable treatment option to achieve optimal results.

Faster Results: Unlike at-home whitening kits that can take weeks to show noticeable results, professional treatments at our clinic can significantly whiten your teeth in just one visit.

Safer and More Comfortable: The whitening gels used in professional treatments are applied under expert supervision, ensuring that your gums and other oral tissues are protected. This reduces the risk of sensitivity or irritation.

Long-Lasting Effects: Professional whitening treatments penetrate deeper into the enamel, offering results that last longer compared to over-the-counter products.

Teeth Whitening Options at CureAlign Dentistry

At CureAlign Dentistry, we offer several teeth whitening options to suit different preferences and goals. Our whitening treatments are designed to give you a radiant smile in a safe and comfortable environment.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening is one of the most popular and effective methods for achieving a bright smile. This procedure is performed at our clinic and provides quick and noticeable results.

How It Works: A protective barrier is applied to the gums to prevent irritation, and a high-concentration whitening gel is carefully applied to the teeth. The gel is activated by a special light or laser, which enhances the whitening process. After 30–60 minutes, your teeth will be several shades lighter.

Benefits: The main advantage of in-office whitening is the speed and effectiveness. In just one session, you can achieve a whiter smile, perfect for those with busy schedules or those looking for immediate results before a special occasion.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits are designed for safe and gradual whitening under your dentist’s guidance.

How It Works: We will create custom-made whitening trays that fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll be provided with professional-grade whitening gel to use in the trays for a specified period each day, usually over a week or two.

Benefits: Take-home whitening kits allow you to whiten your teeth at your own pace. While the results are gradual, the final outcome is just as effective as in-office treatments, making it a flexible option for those who prefer at-home care.

The Teeth Whitening Process at CureAlign Dentistry

Here’s what you can expect when you choose professional teeth whitening at CureAlign Dentistry:

Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your whitening goals. We’ll determine the cause of your tooth discoloration and recommend the most appropriate whitening treatment.

Preparation: If necessary, a thorough cleaning will be performed to remove any surface stains or plaque that could interfere with the whitening process. This helps ensure the best possible results.

Whitening Procedure: Whether you choose in-office treatment or a take-home kit, the whitening process will be explained in detail. If you opt for in-office treatment, the procedure is performed in a single visit, while take-home kits offer a more gradual whitening experience.

Post-Whitening Care: After the whitening treatment, we will provide you with instructions on how to care for your newly brightened smile. This includes tips on maintaining your results through good oral hygiene and avoiding staining foods and beverages.

How to Maintain Your Whiter Smile

After teeth whitening, it’s essential to maintain your results by practicing good oral hygiene and making some lifestyle adjustments. Here are some tips for keeping your smile bright:

Brush and Floss Regularly: Brushing twice a day and flossing daily help remove plaque and prevent new stains from forming.

Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Limit your intake of dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as foods that can cause staining.

Quit Smoking: Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of tooth discoloration. Quitting smoking can help maintain a white smile and improve overall health.

Use a Straw: When consuming beverages that could stain your teeth, using a straw can minimize contact with your teeth and reduce staining.

Conclusion

A brighter, whiter smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. At CureAlign Dentistry in Hennur, Bangalore, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions to help you achieve the radiant smile you desire. Whether you prefer in-office treatment for quick results or a take-home kit for convenience, our expert team is here to guide you through the process.

Top  Anti-aging Treatments for Youthful & Glowing Skin

With new skincare products emerging on the market year, the skincare industry is expanding. Among these are anti-aging treatments that help one stay youthful for a longer time by helping reverse and slow down aging. Ever heard the expression "aging like fine wine"? Yes, that also might apply to everyone who chooses to undergo anti-aging treatments. So, let’s learn about these treatments and find out why they are becoming so popular. One will also find where to get the best and most excellent anti-aging treatment in South Delhi. Let’s start by asking the most basic question: “What Causes Skin-Aging?”

What Causes Skin-Aging?

Age-related declines in antioxidant levels and a reduction in the efficiency of metabolic processes lead to oxidative stress and free radical damage to the skin. Hyaluronic acid, which maintains the skin’s moisture balance, also disappears along with the structural proteins that make up the skin, such as collagen and elastin fibers. Everything makes the skin appear aged.  

Additional factors that contribute to aging skin include:

Smoking excessively or leading an unhealthy lifestyle.

Making repeated facial expressions.

Frequent or severe sun exposure.

Now, let’s find the signs of aging. 

What are the Signs of Aging?

Skin shows signs of aging. Among the indicators are:

Fine lines

Thin skin

Wrinkles

Dark areas

Dull skin

Rough skin.

What are the Top Anti-aging Treatments?

Skin specialists may advise men and women on anti-aging procedures.  Even though one may accept physical and emotional aging, some procedures can help the skin look younger and more vibrant. 

Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are injected into the middle layer of aging skin and are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid. By keeping water in the skin, dermal filler administration helps restore the skin’s structural support, re-inflate the skin’s deflated fat compartments, and balance the hydration of tissues. The periorbital area, cheek and midface, lips, smile lines, marionette lines, chin, jaw, and frown lines are among the areas that are frequently treated using dermal fillers.

Thread Lifting: As the name suggests, threads are used to lift aging skin. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are synthetic threads that lift the skin. A minimally invasive procedure requiring no surgical intervention is considered the best anti-aging procedure. It tightens and lifts the skin subtly without requiring surgery. Patients experience a rejuvenated appearance for several years following the procedure, which is advised for mild to moderate drooping skin.

Mesotherapy: This treatment uses tiny needles to inject the mesoderm with natural substances, including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts. This mixture of serum enhances the quality and look of the skin from the inside out. It can contour the body, lighten the skin, tighten fine lines and wrinkles, and smooth the skin. Several treatments and injections are required to get and sustain the intended outcomes.

Anti-wrinkle Injections: The anti-wrinkle injections are commonly known as botox. These injections work by momentarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles. These injections give one a more relaxed and revitalized appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The effects kick in a week, lasting around four months or so.

Laser Resurfacing: By imposing heat injury on the tissues, lasers ablate the skin’s surface and concurrently increase the production of new collagen. Usually, they are used to treat photoaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and skin rejuvenation. It takes several laser settings to achieve the desired results.

Chemical Peels: This anti-aging procedure involves applying acidic solutions to the ageing skin to remove the outermost layers and expose the younger, youthful skin beneath. There are various peels based on the acid’s potency and the degree of skin penetration. It is possible to use a light, medium, or deep peel, depending on the severity of the aging skin. Chemical peels are often advised for skin with age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Expert Tip: The skin expert recommends maintaining the results of the anti-aging treatment by drinking enough water, eating a healthy diet, protecting the skin from the sun, and abstaining from alcohol and smoking. 

How long will the results of  Anti-aging Treatments last?

The duration of anti-aging treatments’ positive effects varies based on the specific treatment administered and each person’s individual response. For example, dermal fillers can last up to a year or longer, whereas anti-wrinkle injections usually persist for three to six months. To learn more about the duration of each anti-aging treatment, speak with a dermatologist.

What are some Anti-aging Strategies?

Dermatologists advise implementing these anti-ageing techniques to maintain good health and appear younger than one’s true age:

Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least 30 SPF when spending the day outside.

Maintain a healthy skincare routine of moisturizing, exfoliating, and cleaning.

To promote skin collagen formation and cell regeneration, try topical retinoids.

Quit smoking; it constricts blood vessels and causes accelerated aging of the skin.

Consume a well-balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Include fermented foods in the diet as well since they are a great source of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Restrict the salt consumption.

Refuel with lots of water and limit the alcohol intake.

Make sure to get enough restful sleep.

Exercise daily to keep the body moving.

Control the stress and tension.

Make good body posture.

Consult the Best Skin Clinic in South Delhi for Anti-Aging Treatments

One must gradually appear younger and more refreshed to others rather than abruptly to achieve natural results. As a result, for effective anti-aging treatment, one can visit DermoRita Skin Clinic and speak with renowned dermatologist Dr. Sarita Sanke. Under the direction of this accomplished dermatologist, the best skin clinic in South Delhi preserves a natural, subtle look that is noticeable but not overt by enhancing facial traits in a systematic, graded, and sequential manner. Visit DermoRita Skin Clinic to learn more about these and other anti-aging treatments.

Say Goodbye to Stained Teeth

Why do I have yellow or dark teeth?

Day to day activities such as drinking tea, coffee, colas, red wine and smoking tobacco can cause undue stress and strain on the colour of your teeth.

If you are not happy with the discolouration of your teeth, we have a solution! Tooth whitening!

Home Whitening

Home teeth whitening is cheaper and it helps you get a better result with the new advanced materials that have been invented.

Generally you spend about an hour a day for about 7 to 14 days and your teeth will be whiter & brighter.

Office Whitening

Office teeth whitening (sometime called power bleaching) generally take about an hour to hour and a half of your time.

Examples are Pola Office, Opalescence, Zoom, Laser Smile, Rembrandt, Brite Smile, Smart Bleach, OpusWhite.

All have the same relative result.

Deep Bleaching

Involves 3 stages

One visit to the practice for priming your teeth

2 weeks of special home whitening that you wear overnight

Then the deep bleaching in the final visit in the practice with Kor Whitening

How often can IWhiten My Teeth?

Current research shows that whitening should be done in regularly if you want to maintain a white bright smile.

This is where you have your initial teeth whitening procedure and a booster teeth whitening kit can be used to every three to six months to maintain the natural look and feel.

Is tooth whitening for everybody?

The last point to remember is that not everybody benefits from tooth whitening & therefore other solutions may be more appropriate such as Porcelain Veneers.

Are there any prerequisites to teeth whitening?

The most important thing though to consider is that you have a very healthy mouth before you carry out these procedures:

There are two conditions you should be concerned about

Gum disease like gingivitis or periodontal disease. This is caused by a collection of tartar on your teeth.

The whitening gel will whiten the tartar and damage your gums if you have any of these conditions and when in the future you get your teeth cleaned the teeth underneath will still be stained

Tooth decay. The whitening gel can creep into the nerve of your tooth causing severe pain if you have tooth decay

Therefore it is highly recommended that you have had a checkup done in the last three months before you have whitening done.

In-Surgery Whitening

No. 1: In-Surgery Whitening

Using the latest blue light technology and whitening solution, we can whiten your teeth in as little as an hour!

Safe and very effective, your teeth will be between 6 to 8 shades lighter.

We also offer a take-home kit to top up the initial whitening treatment (this has an added cost to you office treatment) You will be given instructions and advice on the best time to use this and the continuing results you can expect.

Whitening your teeth will provide an instant lift to your smile to give you that extra confidence to show them off!

What actually happens with in-surgery whitening?


Your gums and lips are protected with barrier materials and a ‘before’ picture is taken.

The whitening gel is applied on your teeth, and the blue light activates it.
 You relax.

After three 8 to 20-minute cycles (just over an hour), the procedure is completed and an ‘after’ picture is taken.

How white will my teeth get?


Clinical studies show that in-surgery whitening procedures deliver up to eight shades lighter and even higher for individuals with darker teeth.

Results will vary as the starting points may be different and everyone’s teeth respond differently.

During the consultation, we will go over what you can expect for your individual situation.

What if I have sensitive teeth?


About 10% of our clients may experience a dull ache following the procedure.

Taking an analgesic almost always resolves the discomfort. It is best to avoid hot and cold drinks for the first 24 hours.

We will provide you with an information sheet on how we can help you reduce the sensitivity as much as possible.

Does it work with crowns, veneers or bonding?


In-surgery whitening treatment cannot change the colour of your crowns, veneers or bonding.

We will recommend the best course of action if we are whitening your teeth and are fitting crowns, veneers or bonding.

How long does it last?


On average, it lasts for 2-3 years, but the long-term results depend primarily on the individual.

Certain habits, such as the use of tobacco products, drinking a lot of coffee, tea, dark soft drinks and infrequent visits to the dentist for regular cleanings etc. can work against the results.

How do I keep my teeth white?


Regular professional care can help maintain the whiteness for years.

Some people may prefer to have the whitening procedure carried out every few years to maintain the whiteness or even simply topping up the whitening treatment with a take-home mini whitening kit.

Why do dentists charge differently?

Prices vary between various dentists based on

The type of material that has been supplied (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide)

The concentration of the material provided (2% all the way to 35%)

The number of tubes that has been provided for home whitening

The number of cycles in office whitening ( one cycle to 4 cycles)

Don’t be fooled with cheap prices. There are always hidden charges when you actually get the procedure done.

Also it is always safer to have a dentist do your whitening as in the dental practice we protect your gums and other tissues such as cheeks and lips from being burned.

People who claim to do whitening and are not dental professionals can cause serious damage.

There have been multiple cases of severe burns with whitening when not carried out by a dentist.

A gleaming white smile is symbolic of the pride, poise, and beauty radiated by a person. For many of us, teeth whitening is a quest. With so many options out there today, however, it is pretty daunting to know where to start. In this in-depth guide, we will go over the professional treatment measures and at-home solutions to whiten teeth, with additional tips for maintaining your pearly whites. Teeth Discoloration: How It Happens Before getting into whitening methods, it's important to know why teeth discolor in the first place. The following are some of the causes of discoloring teeth: Diet: The consumption of dark drinks—coffee, tea, red wine—with some foods that stain teeth. Tobacco use: Smoking and chewing tobacco causes teeth to stain yellow or brown. Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing encourage plaque formation. Aging: As we age, the enamel of our teeth becomes worn away, and the dentin turns yellow. Medications: Various medications, including some antibiotics, stain teeth. Professional Choices in Teeth Whitening Professional teeth whitening choices show drastic improvement and immediate effects. Some common choices include:   In-Office Whitening On the other hand, in-office whitening uses high-concentration bleaching agents applied only by a dentist. Very briefly, it goes this way: Preparation: The dentist will need to protect your gums before applying a whitening gel. Activation: Various special lights or lasers can be applied to enhance the effect of the gel. Results: In just about an hour, the result can leave your teeth several shades whiter. Take-Home Whitening Kits They also provide customized at-home whitening, which generally is a fully personalized whitening tray fitting your teeth and some professional-strength whitening gel. These are more potent than whitening OTC kits. And for that matter, they have far more vivid results, all within just a few weeks. At-Home Teeth Whitening Solutions When professional treatments aren't in the budget, or if you'd like to whiten more gradually, there are several at-home whitening solutions that can help you get the brighter smile you want. Whitening Toothpaste Whitening toothpaste contains mild abrasives and soft chemicals that help remove surface discolorations, thereby whitening teeth. It does not affect the natural color of the teeth but helps in sustaining the whitening treatment's effects. Whitening Strips Whitening strips are thinly coated band strips covered with a peroxide-based whitening gel that is applied directly to the teeth for a specified time, usually 30 minutes, and can show noticeable results within a few days or at worst, two weeks. Whitening Trays Over-the-counter whitening trays are pre-filled with bleaching gel and designed to be applied over teeth. While not quite as potent as the custom trays provided by a dentist, these ones will still do an adequate job. Whitening Pens Whitening pens contain whitening gel that you apply directly to the teeth with a brush applicator. Moreover, you can conveniently use them for quick touch-ups and minor whitening. Natural Teeth Whitening Methods If you are into natural remedies, then several home-based whitening remedies can give your smile an extra glow. Most of these methods are relatively safe but of lesser action compared to professional treatments. Always exercise caution. Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to create a paste that can help scrub away surface stains. Use this one carefully; the regular use of this paste wears down your enamel. Oil Pulling Oil pulling involves washing your mouth with oil for 15-20 minutes. It's a very effective technique to rid yourself of bacteria and plaque, which eventually will leave you with a whiter smile. Apple Cider Vinegar You can use apple cider vinegar as a mouthwash. It is said to have whitening properties. However, it is also highly acidic, so always remember

to dilute it in water and never use it more than once a week to avoid the erosion of the enamel. Activated Charcoal One of the newest trends in whitening teeth naturally would be by brushing using activated charcoal. Some say this helps remove stains, though it is not known to be particularly effective and proves to be abrasive. Tips for Maintaining White Teeth After whitening your teeth, you want to make sure that you maintain the results you achieved. Here are some tips to keep your teeth white: Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss once a day to remove plaque and avoid forming stains. Avoid Staining Food and Drinks: Limit your intake of coffee, tea, red wine, and foods with dark coloring. Rinse your mouth with water right after if you really have to be consuming any of these. Use a Straw: In having beverages that may stain the teeth, always use a straw to limit their contact with the teeth. Quit Smoking: Tobacco consumption is the main cause of yellow teeth. Avoid smoking, and a healthier mouth with glistening white teeth will be yours. Regular Dental Checkups: Regular visit to your dentist not only cleans and examines your teeth for any oral disorders but also helps in removing surface stains that result in whitening. Therefore, regular dental checkups are a must for maintaining your whitening results. It is possible to achieve a bright, white smile if you go about it in the correct manner. Be it professional treatments, at-home solutions, or natural methods, what really matters here is the consistency and good oral hygiene. Knowing the reasons for tooth discoloration and these tips can help you flash a brilliant smile, enhance your confidence, and improve your whole appearance. Consult with your dentist for personalized advice and specific teeth whitening options for you.
