Why Manage YOUR TIME?

Unfortunately, for us all, the clock is ticking and hours can drift by. Good management of time can help you be more efficient and schedule time effectively.

Good time management allows you to accomplish bigger and better things in the time you have available, leading to more freedom, a better worklife balance, increased productivity and lowered stress levels. By working to minimize distractions and procrastinations it allows you to take control and focus on the important tasks and complete them simply and easily.

Reducing the time spent on trivial tasks that have no bearing on your objective will free up time to spend on more important activities.

Summer Road Trip

Summer road trips can be some of the most memorable times in life. From seeing incredible sights to making new friends, there’s so much to enjoy.

Before you get on the road, schedule time to visit your local auto mechanic to get your car checked out. Speaking with a professional can help give you peace of mind and help avoid any stressful surprises down the road. You may think you’ll never need an emergency kit, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Finally, don’t forget to leave some room in your itinerary for spontaneity! Part of the beauty of a road trip is that it gives you the freedom to explore. So if you see an intriguing sign or an inviting turn-off, don’t hesitate to take it!

SOFT TISSUE FILLERS

This skin Feature was rendered by Dr Raj Singh, educating the community on skin disease. He is available for a consultation at his, Scottsville branch in Pietermaritzburg or at his Durban branch.

SOFT TISSUE FILLERS Part 3

HOW LONG DOES THE IMPROVEMENT LAST?

A filler substance is injected beneath the surface where it corrects the line or wrinkle by temporarily plumping and smoothing out the skin depression. Most fillers replace the lost components of the skin: Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. Some fillers also can stimulate production of collagen.

WHAT ARE ABC FILLERS?

Dermatologists have developed a variety of filler substances to address a wide range of cosmetic flaws and other needs of the individual patient. Each filler brings subtle, distinctive benefits. Sometimes more than one filler may be used to achieve the best results. Some fillers provide longer-lasting results: others allow for more precision with fine lines, and still others can gradually bring the face into better balance, creating an overall rejuvenated appearance.

Soft tissues fillers are often considered the first line in the treatment of aging skin and are frequently used in combinations or with other techniques for facial rejuvenation. Filling substances commonly used by dermatologist are:

COLLAGEN - collagen products give structure to the skin and are used to add volume to lips, raise the corners of the mouth, and redefine the shape of the nose. Collagen fillers may be layered with hyaluronic acid fillers to diminish deep wrinkles. Introduced nearly 20 years ago, bovine collagen has proven effective. Some patients may be allergic to bovine collagen; therefore, test doses are given to determine if a patient has sensitivity. Human-derived collagen offer an alternative and does not require a skin test.

HYALURONIC ACID - hyaluronic acid is a natural component of human skin and is the framework in which skin cells live. There are several hyaluronic acid products available. Each has various characteristics that the dermatologist will take into account when choosing a filler. All hyaluronic acid products bind water and give the skin volume. These fillers can be used to fill hollow areas of the face, including the cheeks, and to plump lips.

AUTOLOGOUS FAT - removed by a mini liposuction procedure from other parts of the body such as the thighs, buttocks, or stomach, one’s own fat has been used to reduce deeper wrinkles and contour the “hills and valleys” associated with the ageing face.

POLY-L-LACTIC ACID - this filler is used to replace lost facial fat, giving the face a more youthful appearance.

CALCIUM HYDROXYAPATITE - suspended in an aqueous gel is semi permanent filler which holds promise for long-term soft tissue augmentation.

IMPLANTS - polymers and collagen-related implants offer a longer-lasting option for diminishing deep facial grooves and folds, particularly around the mouth, nose, and lips. The material is inserted under the skin and depends on the type of filler used, the areas treated and the ability of the patient’s skin to absorb the materials. Results are generally long-lasting with maintenance treatments performed after 3 to 6 months. Occasionally, touch-up treatments may be needed sooner. Correction of acne scarring, as well as the use of combination techniques tend to last longer.

Spreading the Light of the Vedas

Dr Roshan Singh

Aries

You express yourself comfortably and creatively today, dear Aries. The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, increasing your curiosity and encouraging you to learn and connect. Others’ ideas jump-start your own thinking, and sharing your expertise or lending a hand can be rewarding. Structured learning can be more effective than usual.

Taurus

With the Moon in your solar second house all day, dear Taurus, taking care of business feels fitting and enjoyable. You have a stronger need to take care of what you have and own today. However, if you’re feeling a bit torn today, try to get out of an “either-or” frame of mind since you may be able to combine things in such a way that you don’t feel you’re missing out.

Gemini

You’re in good shape to pursue your personal interests and self-directed activities, dear Gemini, with the Moon in your sign all day. You may not always feel in step with others, however. You want to honor uniqueness and freedom of spirit, but you’re also focusing on some tradition and tried-and-true pursuits.

Cancer

With the Moon in your solar twelfth house, you can be more retiring than usual today, dear Cancer, and extra time to yourself or for rest is very appropriate at this time in the lunar month. You might find the time and energy to put an irritating problem behind you.

Leo

The Moon spends today in your solar eleventh house, dear Leo, stirring your interest in socializing. There can be times today when you take things, people, and perhaps even yourself a little too seriously. Otherwise, exploring new personal interests can be engaging.

Virgo

The Moon spends today in your career and objectives sector, dear Virgo, encouraging you to set goals or remind yourself of them. You could feel a little divided now, however, as part of you wants light and easy interactions, and another part seeks a more profound connection or deeper meaning.

Libra

Concentration levels are unlikely ideal today, dear Libra, but the day is good for exploring, discovering, and sharing. You’re enjoying more attention to your routines and wellness pursuits or chores these days, but today’s energies tend to pull you away from these things. You’re very distractable!

Scorpio

There’s generally very motivating energy with you for getting things done, pursuing wellness, and enjoying your routines, dear Scorpio. Today, your desire to enjoy yourself is strong, and it seems to compete with this drive. While you could feel somewhat divided between work and play today, remind yourself that you have plenty of time to work out the right balance.

Sagittarius

Restoring balance in your life can be in focus with the Moon in your partnership sector all day, dear Sagittarius. Today favors a mature, forthright approach in your dealings. However, there can be some moodiness and restlessness, as you are hungrier than usual for affection, but you may not be particularly satisfied with what comes your way.

Capricorn

The Moon spends the day in your work and service sector, dear Capricorn, stirring an emotional need to contribute and produce. Work and health matters can be in stronger focus again today. It’s a time when you thoroughly enjoy piecing things together. Quiet or solitary activities suit you perfectly and may even bring out your best today.

Aquarius

You tend to negotiate and compromise today more than usual, dear Aquarius, as you’d rather come to an agreement than bother with challenges. The inclination is to keep the peace. A good part of you wants to settle in and enjoy yourself, but the desire for novelty is also strong, leaving you feeling confused or divided at times today.

Pisces

You’re seeking more familiarity and security today, dear Pisces. You’re inclined to make more adjustments than usual today, but it’s excellent for bringing a better balance to your world. It might benefit you to dial things down and aim for a regeneration of sorts. You’re paying more attention to your personal needs, family, or home life.
