How to Make Your Laser Pigmentation Treatment More Effective?

Skin pigmentation is a nasty issue affecting the lives of many women every single day. Luckily, with the help of modern technology, controlling skin pigmentation is easy and reliable. There are many effective pigmentation treatment options, but laser treatment is considered one of the most popular. Here is a list of things that will make laser treatment for your skin hyper-pigmentation extremely effective.

Choose The Right Clinic
There are a lot of factors that can affect your treatment, but the most important one is the clinic that you choose for your treatment. Consider everything before committing to one. Look up ‘top Dermatologist near me’ and start your clinic search from there. Read customer reviews about the clinic, especially on third-party websites. This will give you proper insight into things that you can’t really test beforehand, for example, the professionalism of the staff or post-treatment support. Secondly, don’t choose the cheapest option. If a clinic is offering rates that are significantly lower than the rest of the market, that’s a giant red flag. Stay away from these kinds of places. Sure, it could be true that they are just good and want to help as many people as they can, but you don’t want to test this hypothesis with something involving lasers and your skin.

Pre-Treatment Preparation
Laser pigmentation treatment is a complete process that requires some pre-planning on your part. You can’t just wake up and head for the treatment; you need to do some preparations. The first of these measures is getting thoroughly cleaned. Your skin should not have any lotions, oils, or ointments on it. The next thing to think about is sun exposure. Make sure to minimize it as much as you can before the treatment. One thing that not many people know about, is that the dermatologist would like to recommend some medications a few days before the laser treatment. Do not skip these medicines, as they help in improving the overall outcome of the treatment. Follow the instructions of your dermatologist as the instructions are for your safety and to ensure that you get the best possible treatment.

Post-Treatment Care
After the laser skin lightening process, you may experience redness, swelling, mild irritation on the treated area for a few days. Ask your dermatologist about the possible downtime and how to speed up the recovery process. You can use post-laser gel on the treated area for up to ten days after the treatment or until your skin is completely healed. This is to help keep your skin hydrated and to speed up the healing process. Things that you should completely avoid are sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and aggressive washing or exfoliation. This is to prevent scarring, which will defeat the whole purpose of the treatment in the first place.

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
My Dad repaired most of our shoes believe it or not, I can hardly believe it myself now. With 7 pairs of shoes always needing repairs I think he was quite clever to learn how to “Keep us in shoe Leather” to coin a phrase!

He bought several different sizes of cast iron cobbler’s “lasts”. Last, the old English “Laest” meaning footprint. Lasts were holding devices shaped like a human foot. I have no idea where he would have bought the shoe leather. Only that it was a beautiful creamy, shiny colour and the smell was lovely.

But I do remember our shoes turned upside down on and fitted into these lasts, my Dad cutting the leather around the shape of the shoe, and then hammering nails, into the leather shape. Sometimes we’d feel one or 2 of those nails poking through the insides of our shoes, but our dad always fixed it.

Hiking and Swimming Galas
Dad was a very outdoorsy type, unlike my mother, who was probably too busy indoors. She also enjoyed the peace and quiet when he took us off for the day!

Anyway, he often took us hiking in the mountains where we’d have a picnic of sandwiches and flasks of tea. And more often than not we went by steam train.

We loved poking our heads out of the window until our eyes hurt like mad from a blast of soot blowing back from the engine. But sore, bloodshot eyes never dampened our enthusiasm.

Dad was an avid swimmer and water polo player, and he used to take us to swimming galas, as they were called back then. He often took part in these galas. And again we always travelled by steam train.

Rowing Over To Ireland’s Eye
That’s what we did back then, we had to go by rowboat, the only way to get to Ireland’s eye, which is 15 minutes from mainland Howth. From there we could see Malahide, Lambay Island and Howth Head of course. These days you can take a Round Trip Cruise on a small cruise ship!

But we thoroughly enjoyed rowing and once there we couldn’t wait to climb the rocks, and have a swim. We picnicked and watched the friendly seals doing their thing and showing off.

Not to mention all kinds of birdlife including the Puffin.The Martello Tower was also interesting but a bit dangerous to attempt entering. I’m getting lost in the past as I write, and have to drag myself back to the present.

Fun Outings with The camera Club
Dad was also a very keen amateur photographer, and was a member of a camera Club. There were many Sunday photography outings and along with us came other kids of the members of the club.

And we always had great fun while the adults busied themselves taking photos of everything and anything, it seemed to us. Dad was so serious about his photography that he set up a dark room where he developed and printed his photographs.

All black and white at the time. He and his camera club entered many of their favourites in exhibitions throughout Europe. I’m quite proud to say that many cups and medals were won by Dad. They have been shared amongst all his grandchildren which I find quite special.

He liked taking portraits of us kids too, mostly when we were in a state of untidiness, usually during play. Dad always preferred the natural look of messy hair and clothes in the photos of his children.
