The Perfect Male Face That Women Love : Psychology: Research

+Dr Vaibhav Shah 

It is a safe bet that few women ever wanted to mother Clint Eastwood. The steely, narrowed eyes. The rugged jawline. The thin-lipped sneer. This is the face of a man to save the homestead from marauding Indians, to stare down an outlaw in a saloon. But not to cuddle.

Now, take Paul McCartney--he of the doe eyes, chipmunk cheeks and teddy bear chin. Ten thousand teeny-boppers can't be wrong. The man is adorable.

The faces of Eastwood and McCartney represent the two extremes in male facial types, each of which, psychologists argue, elicits its own distinctive emotional reactions.

People with facial features characteristic of  infants bring out the same feelings of nurturing and compassion that babies do. Men with mature, masculine features, on the other hand, convey vigor and sexual power.

By doing following facial Cosmetic Surgical Procedures man can get That looks. Dr Vaibhav Shah is known with Facial Sculpting.

Gummy Smile Correction- Use of Botox & Dermal Filler

Let us understand first why few people have gummy Smile.

+Dr Vaibhav
 Shah

Well, our Face is vertically divided in three parts.

1.     From Hair Line to Glabella (point between two eyes).

2.     From glabella to sub nasale (where tip of the nose gets over).

3.     From sub nasale to chin.

 Well in most of the cases middle portion of face is bigger. (Ideally they all should be of same size) for better out looks. Which is also called as Vertical Maxillary Excess. Well whenever we have vertical Maxillary Excess Gummy smile is common problem. As natural feed back mechanism one try to hide gummy smile and end up developing hyperactive mentalis or chin muscle. Which is usually habitual problem for patients.

 Well in most of the cases middle portion of face is bigger. (Ideally they all should be of same size) for better out looks. Which is also called as Vertical Maxillary Excess. Well whenever we have vertical Maxillary Excess Gummy smile is common problem. As natural feed back mechanism one try to hide gummy smile and end up developing hyperactive mentalis or chin muscle. Which is usually habitual problem for patients

One of the most promising procedure for such problem is Orthognathic Surgery which is also named as Jaw Correction surgery. As it is Major Surgery most of the patients get scared or not willing for surgery.

   One more way to Inject Botulinum Toxin Type –A  in Caninus muscle. Which gives free fall of lip over teeth & gums also injecting Botox into Chin Muscles will stops its hyperactivity . Due to habitual habit of closing lips chin muscles gets overdeveloped & very prominent. With the help of Botox it looks normal. Lip length & shape can be well developed with hyaluronic Acid based Dermal Filler. In following case who is just 24-25 years Indian , Mumbai based Boy having Gummy smile on thorough evaluation by Dr. Vaibhav Shah it is been diagnosed as case of Vertical Maxillary Excess. As patient was keen for Non Surgical Treatment of Gummy Smile Dr. Shah performed Botox for Lips & Chin muscle (Mentalis Muscle). Lip Re-Shaping & Rejuvenation is done with Hyaluronic Acid Based  Dermal Filler.

Right Side is Before Treatment & left side is after Treatment.

On left side picture small teeth , Hyperactive Mentalis is very much visible. Lips are incompetent i.e not meeting each other. In Right side picture one can see competence of lip , No hyperactive Mentalis or Chin Muscles. Boy Looks much more Younger  & got his Beautiful smile back.

Smoking Hair Loss.

Smoking & Hair Loss.

     You are aware of the risks of smoking such as cancer, heart disease, chest complaints and strokes but it has now been shown to have an adverse affect on your hair. This may sound rather strange but smoking can affect the condition of your hair which may lead to Hair Loss. Research has found a link between cigarette smoking and Hair Loss which is worrying, especially if you are a man with a family history of baldness.

       One trigger for hair loss in men is that of hereditary: if the male members of your family went bald in their youth then there is a good chance that you will do the same. There are other causes of hair loss but male pattern baldness is especially common. If you are male and smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day then you are at greater risk of going bald. You may not be unduly bothered by this but many men are.

SMOKING :A GREAT HAIR LOSS.

So how does smoking cause hair loss?

      Your hair grows from follicles – sac like structures underneath your scalp which require oxygen, vitamins/minerals and essential nutrients to function properly and trigger hair growth. Cigarette smoke contains thousands of chemicals, many of them toxic, which affect all areas of the body including the hair. This smoke negatively affects your circulation in general which means impaired blood flow to your hair follicles. This disrupts the normal hair growth/loss cycle which occurs on a daily basis and results in hair thinning and eventual loss. This evidence suggests that smoking directly impacts upon this blood supply. Other suggestions include the fact that smoking affects the immune system which opens the body up to all sorts of diseases and illnesses. And certain diseases damage the hair or cause hair loss.

        Another factor is ageing: hair loss is a sign of the ageing process and this can be accelerated by smoking. Smoking causes other signs of premature ageing such as increased lines and wrinkles and a pale, drawn appearance so why not add baldness to this list. Male pattern baldness is usually permanent but other types of hair loss are not and can be reversed. If the cause of the hair loss is treated then new hair will grow.

         But ,the best way of preventing hair loss is to stop smoking. If you are trying to give up or are looking to take that first step then visit our Stopping Smoking section. This is full of useful information to help you do so.

Hair Transplant Procedure:

What to Expect

Like good health and youth, most of us take our locks for granted — that is, until they’re gone. For many people, a hair transplant can help bring back what looks like a full — or at least a fuller — head of hair.

If thinning up top or going bald really bothers you, the procedure can be one way to feel more confident about your looks. But first talk with your doctor about what you can expect during and after the surgery.

What Is a Hair Transplant?

It’s a type of surgery that moves hair you already have to fill an area with thin or no hair. Doctors have been doing these transplants in the U.S. since the 1950s, but techniques have changed a lot in recent years.

You usually have the procedure in the doctor’s office. First, the surgeon cleans your scalp and injects medicine to numb the back of your head. Your doctor will choose one of two methods for the transplant: follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) or follicular unit extraction (FUE).

With FUSS, the surgeon removes a 6- to 10-inch strip of skin from the back of your head. He sets it aside and sews the scalp closed. This area is immediately hidden by the hair around it.

Next, the surgeon’s team divides the strip of removed scalp into 500 to 2,000 tiny grafts, each with an individual hair or just a few hairs. The number and type of graft you get depends on your hair type, quality, color and the size of the area where you’re getting the transplant.

If you’re getting the FUE procedure, the surgeon’s team will shave the back of your scalp. Then, the doctor will remove hair follicles one by one from there. The area heals with small dots, which your existing hair will cover.

After that point, both procedures are the same. After he prepares the grafts, the surgeon cleans and numbs the area where the hair will go, creates holes or slits with a scalpel or needle, and delicately places each graft in one of the holes. He’ll probably get help from other team members to plant the grafts, too.

Depending on the size of the transplant you’re getting, the process will take about 4 to 8 hours. You might need another procedure later on if you continue to lose hair or decide you want thicker hair.

Expectations and Recovery

After the surgery, your scalp may be very tender. You may need to take pain medications for several days. Your surgeon will have you wear bandages over your scalp for at least a day or two. He may also prescribe an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory drug for you to take for several days. Most people are able to return to work 2 to 5 days after the operation.

Within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, the transplanted hair will fall out, but you should start to notice new growth within a few months. Most people will see 60% of new hair growth after 6 to 9 months. Some slovethatlooks.com

urgeons prescribe the hair-growing drug minoxidil (Rogaine) to improve hair growth after transplantation, but it’s not clear how well it works.

Risks and Costs of Treatment

The price of a hair transplant will depend largely on the amount of hair you’re moving. Most insurance plans don’t cover it.

As with any kind of surgery, transplants have some risks, including bleeding and infection. There’s also the chance for scarring and unnatural-looking new hair growth.

Around the time new locks start to grow, some people have inflammation or an infection of the hair follicles, called folliculitis. Antibiotics and compresses can relieve the problem. It’s also possible to suddenly lose some of the original hair in the area where you got the new strands, called shock loss. But most of the time, it’s not permanent.

Talk with your doctor about these risks and how much improvement you’re likely to get from the surgery. He can help you decide if it’s a good option for you.

Hair Restoration

Hair Restoration:

Well, one of the most common question  in Hair Transplant Surgery is How “Dense Packing” or “Density in Hair Transplant Surgery” is possible?

Naturally in one square centimeter of scalp has around 80 to 90 grafts, on an average it is considered to be 2 hair shafts or to be precise 1.8 hair shafts in one graft. So it comes to around 140 to 160 hair shafts in one square centimeter. Till we have around 30-40 grafts that means 80 hair shafts in one square centimeter it is not considered to be Bald.

When we perform Hair Transplant Surgery maximum what one can put in completely bald area  is around 40 to 45 grafts/ square centimeter.

If one try to put more then 40 – 45 grafts in one square centimeter then Skin Necrosis is common problem. Which can damage Hair Grafts & results comes opposite then what we expect.  Some times to put more number of grafts lot of people implants hair grafts in perpendicular directions & not natural hair growth direction which is 30 to 45 degree angulations to SCALP skin.  So best Density is 40 to 45 grafts in one square centimeter. Which is called as dense packing.

Skin whitening

SKIN WHITENING:
lovethatlooks.com

Skin whitening, skin lightening, and skin bleaching refer to the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten skin tone or provide an even skin complexion by reducing the melanin concentration in the skin. Several chemicals have been shown to be effective in skin whitening, while some have proven to be toxic or have questionable safety profiles, adding to the controversy surrounding their use and impacts on certain ethnic groups.

Uses

Specific zones of abnormally high pigmentation such as moles and birthmarks may be depigmented to match to the surrounding skin. Conversely, in cases of vitiligo, unaffected skin may be lightened to achieve a more uniform appearance  Long term use of skin whiteners can lead to pigmentation increasing to the joints of the fingers, toes, buttocks and ears^. The skin of the face can become thinned and the area around the eyes can have increased pigmentation causing a 'bleach panda effect'.

2012 sales of skin lightening creams in India alone totaled 258 tons and the global market for skin lighteners is projected to reach US $19.8 billion by 2018 based on sales growth primarily in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Combination treatments

Most skin-lightening treatments, which can reduce or block some amount of melanin production, are aimed at inhibiting tyrosinase. Many treatments use a combination of topical lotions or gels containing melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen, and a prescription retinoid. Depending on how the skin responds to these treatments, exfoliants— either in the form of topical cosmetic or chemical peels — and lasers may be used. New development using LED systems are also showing good results.

There are various mechanisms described for achieving this. Inhibiting tyrosinase activity reduces the synthesis of melanin so that as existing skin cells are naturally exfoliated keratinocytes with less melanin are eventually brought to the surface, giving the skin a lighter, more even toned complexion.

Pre-melanin synthesis

Tretinoin

Research has shown that the use of tretinoin (also known as all-trans retinoic acid) can only be somewhat effective in treating skin discolorations.^{[6][11][12][13]} Users of tretinoin have to avoid sunlight, as the skin can tan. Using tretinoin always makes the skin more sensitive to UVA and UVB rays.

During melanin synthesis

Hydroquinone

Main article: Hydroquinone

In medical literature, hydroquinone is considered the primary topical ingredient for inhibiting melanin production. Its components have potent antioxidant abilities. Topical hydroquinone comes in 2% (available in cosmetics) to 4% (or more) concentrations (available from a physician or by prescription), alone or in combination with tretinoin0.05% to 0.1%. Research has shown hydroquinone and tretinoin to prevent sun- or hormone-induced melasma.

Hydroquinone is a strong inhibitor of melanin production, meaning that it prevents dark skin from making the substance responsible for skin color. Hydroquinone does not bleach the skin but lightens it, and can only disrupt the synthesis and production of melanin hyperpigmentation. It has been banned in all European countries (e.g. France) because of fears of a cancer risk.

Some concerns about hydroquinone's safety on skin have been expressed, but the research when it comes to topical application indicates negative reactions are minor or a result of using extremely high concentrations or from other skin-lightening agents such as glucocorticoids or mercury iodine. Any perceived risk is most likely applicable for African women. Hydroquinone has been shown to cause leukemia in mice and other animals. The European Union banned it from cosmetics in 2001, but it shows up in bootleg creams in the developing world. It is sold in the United States as an over-the-counter drug, but with a concentration of hydroquinone not exceeding 2 percent. Because of hydroquinone's action on the skin, it can be an irritant, particularly in higher concentrations of 4% or greater and predictably when combined with tretinoin. Some medications have been created that combine 4% hydroquinone with tretinoin and a form of cortisone. The cortisone is included as an anti-inflammatory. The negative side effect of repeated application of cortisone is countered by the positive effect of the tretinoin so that it does not cause thinning of skin and damage to collagen.^[ Safer alternatives are more expensive but are available.

Arbutin

Some of alternative lighteners are derived from natural sources of hydroquinone. These include Mitracarpus scaber extract, Uva ursi (bearberry) extract, Morus bombycis(mulberry), Morus alba (white mulberry), and Broussonetia papyrifera (paper mulberry). All of these contain arbutin (technically known as hydroquinone-β-D-glucoside), which can inhibit melanin production. Pure forms of arbutin are considered more potent for affecting skin lightening.

Arbutin is derived from the leaves of bearberry, cranberry, mulberry or blueberry shrubs, and also is present in most types of pears. It can have melanin-inhibiting properties.^[23]Arbutin and other plant extracts are considered safe alternatives to commonly used depigmenting agents to make the skin fairer. Medical studies have shown the efficiency of arbutin for skin lightening. There are patents controlling its use for skin lightening. Arbutin actually exists in two isomers, alpha and beta. The alpha isomer offers higher stability over the beta isomer and is the preferred form for skin lightening indications.

Kojic acid

Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. Some research shows kojic acid to be effective for inhibiting melanin production. However, kojic acid is an unstable ingredient in cosmetic formulations. Upon exposure to air or sunlight it can turn brown and lose its efficacy. Many cosmetic companies use kojic dipalmitate as an alternative because it is more stable in formulations. However, there is no research showing kojic dipalmitate to be as effective as kojic acid, although it is a good antioxidant. Further, some controversial research has suggested that kojic acid may have carcinogenic properties in large doses. Other further studies show that kojic acid is not carcinogenic, but can cause allergic contact dermatitis and skin irritation.

Azelaic acid

Azelaic acid is a component of grains, such as wheat, rye, and barley. It is applied topically in a cream formulation at a 10-20% concentration. Azelaic acid is used to treat acne, but there also is research showing it to be effective for skin discolorations. Other research also indicates azelaic acid may be an option for inhibiting melanin production.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C and its various forms (ascorbic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, etc.) are considered an effective antioxidant for the skin and help to lighten skin.One study found it raises glutathione levels in the body. Another study found that brownish guinea pigs given vitamin C, vitamin E and L-cysteine, simultaneously, led to lighter skin.^[32]

Glutathione

Glutathione is a tripeptide molecule found in mammalian bodies. It is an antioxidant that plays an important role in preventing oxidative damage to the skin. In addition to its many recognized biological functions, glutathione has also been associated with skin lightening ability.

Glutathione is an ingredient in some cosmetics preparations. Glutathione for skin whitening is available in cream, soap, lotion, nasal spray and injectable form. Glutathione that is applied on the skin in the form of lotion is not efficiently absorbed by the skin cells as the thiol group undergoes rapid formation of disulfide.^] When taken orally, glutathione is hydrolyzed by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract resulting in reduced bioavailability. The level of glutathione increased in smalls amounts temporarily when large oral doses were administered. As a result, the effectiveness of externally administered glutathione is slowed down by its inability to cross cell membranes efficiently and its rapid degradation by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract. On the contrary, intravenous glutathione delivers very high doses directly into the systemic circulation and is the preferred mode of administering glutathione. However, this method of administrating the antioxidant might flood the cells with glutathione that may cause reductive stress. This might expose people to potential health risks associated with long-term use of high dose of glutathione

Glutathione can be combined with many other agents like vitamin C to increase its absorption, N-acetyl cysteine to boost its level, and other antioxidants like vitamin E. Some oral intake of glutathione could have dangerous effect when combined with other skin whitening agents such as hydroquinone which is a carcinogenic element and monobenzonewhich causes irreversible depigmentation.

Cinnamomum subavenium

Cinnamomum subavenium, a Chinese herb, has been suggested for use as a skin whitening agent. The plant contains substances which inhibit production of tyrosinase, an enzyme which catalyzes the production of melanin. The herb has not been established as either effective or safe but is being researched by Hui-Min Wang and his colleagues at Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan where experiments shown that it was effective at causing Zebrafish to lose their stripes.

Post-melanin synthesis

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) — primarily in the form of lactic acid and glycolic acid — are the most researched forms of AHAs because they have a molecular size that allows effective penetration into the top layers of skin. It is generally assumed that in and of themselves AHAs in concentrations of 4% to 15% are not effective for inhibiting melanin production and will not lighten skin discolorations in that manner. It is believed that their benefit is in helping cell turnover rates and removing unhealthy or abnormal layers of superficial skin cells (exfoliation) where hyperpigmented cells can accumulate. However, other research has shown that lactic and glycolic acids can indeed inhibit melanin production separate from their actions as an exfoliant on skin. Alpha hydroxy acid peels (using 50% concentrations or greater) may remove skin discolorations. Only a qualified physician should perform these types of facial peels.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is claimed to be a much safer alternative when applied topically for skin or genitalia whitening. According to research by Procter & Gamble, a cosmetics company, niacinamide has no adverse side-effects. It also promotes acne reduction, increases skin moisture, and reduces fine wrinkles.^[44]

Other/ungrouped

Most commonly, depigmentation of the skin is linked to people born with vitiligo, which produces differing areas of light and dark skin. These individuals, if they so decided to use a lightening process to even out their skin tone, could apply a topical cream containing the organic compound monobenzone to lessen the remaining pigment. Monobenzone may cause destruction of melanocytes and permanent depigmentation. An alternate method of lightening is to use the chemical mequinol over an extended period of time. Increasingly, people who are not afflicted with the vitiligo experiment with lower concentrations of monobenzone creams in the hope of lightening their skin tone evenly. However, monobenzone is not recommended for skin conditions other than vitiligo.

Mercury

Many skin whiteners contain toxic mercury such as mercury(II) chloride or ammoniated mercury as the active ingredient. However mercury has been banned in most countries for use in skin whitening (1976 in Europe, 1990 in the USA) because it accumulates on skin and it can have the opposite results in the long term. As late as January 2016, the FDA published a warning not to use a particular brand of whitener sold in the United States due to its mercury content.^[45] Some studies suggest that long-term use could cause systemic absorption that leads to tissue accumulation of the substance.

Other

Other options with some amount of research regarding their potential skin lightening abilities are licorice extract (specifically glabridin).^{[citation needed]}

There is also a small amount of research showing oral supplements of pomegranate extract, ellagic acid, vitamin E, and ferulic acid can inhibit melanin production.

Laser treatments

Both ablative and nonablative lasers can have a profound effect on melasma^{[citation needed]}. However, the results are not always consistent, and problems have been reported (such as hypo- or hyperpigmentation). Laser treatments of this kind are more likely to result in problems for those with darker skin tones.^[48]

Cryosurgery

Another alternative to laser treatment is cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen. Controlled destruction of skin cells causes the skin to naturally regenerate itself. Excess melanin comes to the surface and peels off in a few days. This is particularly useful in sensitive areas like the genitals where laser treatment could leave a scar. Efficacy of the treatment depends on the depth of the pigment. Freckles in any part of the body can be treated the same way.

Controversy and negative health effects

There is evidence to suggest that some types of skin-whitening products use active ingredients (such as mercurous chloride) and hydroquinone which can be harmful.Hydroquinone had been banned in Europe. However, it is now available again but only when prescribed by a medical doctor. This is also the case in many other countries, where hydroquinone can only be prescribed by a doctor for certain skin conditions.

A test of common skin lightening creams available in Nigeria showed that they caused mutations in bacteria and were possibly carcinogenic
