What Is Hair Training?
It’s a way of cutting back on shampooing to help reduce buildup and grease. Once trained, you’ll only need to wash your hair once a week. In fact, by limiting the number of washes, your hair will look healthier and stronger, but it’s important to note that this process will take some time. Your hair needs to get used to the new routine before you’ll see results.
• After shampooing your scalp and the top of your head, only condition the ends of your hair. Conditioner moisturizes your hair, so if you put it on your scalp, you’re adding oil where it’s not needed, and your hair will look greasy much faster. • Once you’re out of the shower, let your hair air dry. Using a hairdryer can stimulate your scalp to produce excess oils to compensate for the drying air. If you want to cut down the drying time, add a leave-in conditioner to your hair when it’s damp. Avoid the scalp. Hair care isn’t the same for everyone, so do what makes you comfortable. How often you wash your hair depends on the thickness and type of hair that you have. Hair training is all about trial and error. With time, you will find a routine that works best for you and your hair.

EXPLORING THE SAFE LIPO PROCEDURE
The results of liposuction, also known as liposculpture, are amazing. In the office, we utilize Safe Lipo (separation, aspiration, and fat equilibration) to help our patients feel confident in their skin by contouring out the physique of the patient. Before the procedure begins, we numb the area by injecting a tumescent fluid, which acts to numb, constrict blood, and add fluid to help the fat cells to expand. Using a straw-like tool known as a cannula, the fat is extracted through a small hole (about an eighth of an inch) made in the skin. In some areas where I’m looking to achieve precise localization and control, I’ll utilize a specific handpiece. After the procedure, the small incision is closed up with one stitch. Most patients are able to return to their normal work routine about 2–3 days later.
While the recovery is fairly straightforward and simple, results will take about 3–6 months to be fully noticeable, as it will take time for the swelling to go down from the procedure and for the contours to show up as we want them to. One of the largest questions surrounding liposuction is whether or not the fat will return in a certain area after the procedure. Typically, this is a loaded question because, hopefully, after liposuction, the patient has a healthy lifestyle and isn’t overeating. We are all born with a certain number of fat cells and when some of those fat cells are removed during liposuction, a person may gain weight elsewhere in the future. It’s important to keep in mind that having liposuction done isn’t a license to eat. We always joke, “Don’t eat through the liposuction.”
Liposuction can be performed in many different areas of the body. It can be combined with other surgeries or done on its own. Men commonly experience a buildup of fat around the love handles and chest while women typically find their problem areas to be love handles, inner thighs, upper arms, and around the knees. As bikini season approaches, it’s time to feel good in your skin! If you are unhappy with stubborn areas of fat, give us a call to see if liposuction is right for you!
