Los Angeles Periodontist, Dr. Sharyar Baradaran, Now Offers Comprehensive Treatments to Correct Gummy Smiles

Friday, May 29th, 2015


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2015

Los Angeles gummy smile doctor, Dr. Sharyar Baradaran, is now offering comprehensive gummy smile treatments. “Some people have too much gum tissue and very short teeth,” Dr. Baradaran explains, “It is a purely cosmetic issue that can happen to anyone.” Gummy smile treatments can eliminate the unnecessary tissues and expose more of the natural tooth structure for a more balanced smile. They can also be used to reshape the underlying bone and create a more harmonious facial shape.

Dr. Baradaran offers several gummy smile treatments, including:


    Gum reshaping
    Crown lengthening
    Lip lowering
    Jaw surgery

Gingival pigmentation removal is available for cosmetic gum lightening. This is often needed in patients with naturally dark or stained gums. Dr. Baradaran, Los Angeles gum lift expert, customizes treatments according to the patients’ needs. According to him, “Quite often, we also have to contour and sculpt the bone underneath slightly. Sometimes it is a soft tissue situation, but there also could be too much bone … if one makes the mistake of not sculpting the underlying bone where it needs to be contoured, the tissue has a memory, and some of it will return.” Dr. Baradaran also offers treatments for patients with periodontal disease, including both surgical and nonsurgical therapies, including scaling and root planing, gum grafts, bone grafts and dental implants.

“I do not see 50 patients a day. I only book one patient at a time … Quality versus quantity is what I strive for every day.” He offers boutique service that provides patients with the one-on-one care they need to achieve optimal results. Some patients may benefit from both cosmetic and restorative treatments. Each patient is given personalized care and provided with recommendations specific to their situation and needs. Financing options may also be available for qualified patients.

About Dr. Baradaran, Periodontist Los Angeles

Dr. Baradaran received both his DDS and a master’s in oral biology before enrolling in Oregon Health Sciences University to complete his periodontics residency. He worked closely with his mentor and other dental professionals and completed about 100 dental implants and other periodontal surgeries during his post-graduate residency. Today, he is proud to offer a boutique setting that provides patients with superior care in a luxurious setting.

Browse 88 market data tables and 66 figures spread through 170 pages and in-depth TOC on Carotenoids Market

http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/carotenoid-market-158421566.html

The carotenoids market, in terms of value, is projected to reach $ 1,428.12 million by 2019, at a CAGR of around 3.5% from 2014. Factors such as, high health benefits, increasing end-use application, and easy availability are the major drivers of the carotenoids market. Carotenoids are one of the most important classes of plant pigments and play a very important role in defining the quality parameter of fruit and vegetables. Carotenoids are found majorly in plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria; however humans and animals have to rely upon food as a source of these compounds. Carotenoids may also be found in some of the non-photosynthetic bacteria and molds where they protect them against damage from light and oxygen. They are responsible for the red, orange, and yellow coloration of plant leaves, fruits, and flowers as well as for some of the birds, insects, fish, and crustaceans. Some of the familiar examples of carotenoids coloration are the red color of tomatoes and carrots, orange color of citrus fruits, and the pink color of flamingos. Around 600 various carotenoids are known to occur naturally and many of them are still being identified.

Make an Enquiry http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Enquiry_Before_Buying.asp?id=158421566

Carotenoids are classified into beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin and others (including annatto, capsanthin, fucoxanthin, and trans-a-apo-8-carotenal). Beta-carotene dominated the carotenoids market, having contributed around 24% share in 2013. The synthetic segment holds the key share in carotenoids market; however natural carotenoids tend to gain popularity in next five years due to consumers’ increasing preference for natural goods and increasing health awareness. The key application of carotenoids is in feed, followed by supplements, food, and cosmetics.

The carotenoids market is highly fragmented with the key market players driving the growth with agreements, expansions, acquisitions and new product launches develop its position in the carotenoids market. The market is competitive with leading players being involved in the research & development of new carotenoids products and its application. The market caters to the applications such as supplements, food, feed, and cosmetics.

Cosmedics Skin Clinics Release Varicose Veins Facts Infographic

Wednesday, May 20th, 2015


London (PRWEB UK) 21 April 2015

Cosmedics Skin Clinics have issued a simple yet informative infographic to explain the key facts about varicose veins, presented in a bright and appealing format so that it is easy to digest and also suitable for sharing. http://www.cosmedics.co.uk/skin-conditions/body/varicose-veins-legs/infographic/

Varicose veins are surprisingly common, affecting up to 3 in 10 adults. However, many of those who are starting to see the first symptoms appear or even have fully developed varicose veins, may not have the full facts about what causes varicose veins.

The Varicose Vein Facts infographic illustrates and explains clearly what causes varicose veins to appear, as well as providing the most pertinent information about the problem, such as the fact that the condition is often inherited and that the varicose veins serve no real purpose and rarely get better without intervention. The Varicose Vein Facts sheet also includes a list of common symptoms and goes on to illustrated recommended treatment options, highlighting the advantages of EVLA varicose vein removal (Endovenous Laser Ablation) and the availability of treatment in the NHS vs private clinics.

Cosmedics’ founder, Medical Director and Aesthetic Doctor, Dr Ross Perry MBBS explains:

“When it comes to varicose veins, stigmas, preconceptions and myths about the problem can be unhelpful. Researching the condition online can bring up an array of medical information, but this can be quite technical, bewildering and potentially even more worrying for patients.”

“Our infographic is intended to communicate the key facts in a very approachable and easy to digest way. We aim to dispel some of the myths by clearly explaining the condition, symptoms, causes and treatment options. Presenting this information in a graphical format makes it more appealing and acceptable for patients, breaking down the medical jargon and stigma about varicose veins.”

“The format of the fact sheet is also ideal for distributing online, where many patients would naturally turn to for information about their condition. It can also be shared easily via social media or email, which enables us to reach a wider audience with our messages.”

Cosmedics’ London Vein Treatment Centre was established in summer 2014 and offers a comprehensive range of treatment for all sorts of troublesome and unsightly veins. The clinic is best known for its laser treatment of varicose veins using an advanced laser technique known as EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) carried out by a top consultant vascular surgeon. http://www.cosmedics.co.uk/skin-treatments/laser-varicose-vein-removal-evla/

The EVLA procedure offers a series of benefits over traditional vein stripping. It is available on a walk-in walk-out basis with no need for an overnight stay. Recovery is much faster as the procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery, yet results are markedly higher with a permanent success rate of 95.4%, where traditional vein stripping has a much lower 75.7% success rate after 5 years.

While EVLA treatment is the most popular treatment option for varicose veins, the London Vein Treatment Centre also offers alternative and complementary treatments for veins, including micro-surgery for the removal of veins (phlebectomy) and foam sclerotherapy injections for smaller varicose veins.

The London Vein Treatment Centre is based at Cosmedics’ flagship clinic in Putney at 4 Disraeli Road, just off the high street. The clinic is highly convenient for patients living and working in Central and South West London and is easily accessible from Surrey with good local parking and public transport links.

Cosmedics Skin Clinics was established in 2003 and has built up an excellent reputation for cosmetic and medical treatments with mole removal and vein treatments being a particular speciality.

The company achieves high patient satisfaction ratings and have received the WhatClinic.com “Five Star Treatment Customer Service Award” after a series of excellent independent reviews.







Pigments Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated

Tuesday, May 19th, 2015


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2015

The pigments market has a buyer power score of 2.4 out of 5, reflecting a moderate level of negotiation power for buyers and suppliers. Low product specialization and low market share concentration are beneficial for buyers, but high price volatility and rising material costs hamper these positive effects.

Recent pricing trends for pigments have had an adverse effect on buyer power. In the three years to 2014, prices have risen rapidly due to increased demand from clients including cosmetic and beauty products manufacturers, paint manufacturers, ink manufacturers and automobile manufacturers. As the industrial production index and the value of construction have risen, buyers in these sectors have required more pigments, boosting demand and fostering price growth. “This trend is expected to continue in the three years to 2017, further reducing buyers’ ability to negotiate favorable prices and contract terms,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Jesse Chiang.

Another challenge facing buyers is the high price volatility of pigments. Inputs to pigment production, including nonferrous metal ores, fluctuate greatly. In most cases, pigment suppliers adjust the price of pigments based on the price of key inputs. High price volatility hurts buyers because it can lead to sudden price spikes. “When possible, buyers should try to negotiate set pricing terms to prevent unexpected price increases,” says Chiang.

Although rising price trends and volatility can damage buyer power, low market concentration and low product specialization offset their effects. As a result of low market concentration, pigment suppliers face a high level of competition, giving them an incentive to offer buyers competitive prices. Low product specialization aids buyers because it gives them the ability to procure services from all available suppliers, rather than having to find a niche provider. These factors improve buyers’ ability to negotiate lower prices. Major vendors include Lanxess AG, BASF and Clariant International Ltd.

New Research Supports Morgellons as Infectious Disease

Friday, May 15th, 2015


Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 12, 2015

The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation (CEHMDF), a non-profit advocacy group for those suffering from the medical condition Morgellons Disease (MD), brought in attendees from the around the globe including researchers, medical professionals and patients for the 2015 conference titled “Searching for the Uncommon Thread.” The Scientific event, which took place March 28 & 29, was a formed to discuss new research to help understand the condition.

Morgellons Disease is a multi-system illness uniquely characterized by the formation of unusual colored fibers within the skin. It is a debilitating condition that often includes slow-healing skin lesions, overwhelming fatigue, GI disturbances and an array of neurological deficits. MD affects people of all ages, gender and ethnic groups worldwide. (1)

Each year since 2008, the Holman Foundation has sponsored this medical-scientific conference in Austin, TX to provide research scientists throughout the world a venue to share their work on Morgellons Disease. Patients and medical professionals attending were able to gain knowledge and ask questions during open discussion/Q & A sessions as well as engage researchers. This year, the foundation partnered with Corexcel to offer continuing education credit for physicians, nurses and other medical professionals seeking to learn more about the disease. “Being able to offer continuing medical education credits for medical professionals has been something our foundation has wanted for years. Accreditation of the CEHMDF Morgellons Medical Conference raised the bar to ensure the professionalism that any such medical conference would be expected to deliver,” said Cindy-Casey- Holman, RN, Dir. of the Holman foundation. “As we learn more about Morgellons disease being associated with Borrelia spirochetes (which cause Lyme disease) and not the psychiatric or delusional etiology inaccurately promoted by the CDC, it is a priority that the annual conference be promoted and publicized to the medical communities. There is far too much evidence to overlook and the conference is the ideal format for this learning to begin,” she concluded. (3) (4)

The eagerly anticipated results from just published (Feb 12, 2015) #Morgellons research and much more were discussed during the 2 -day event. Researchers from two esteemed universities, Oklahoma State University-Center for Health Sciences and the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT as well as an international team of independent researchers delivered powerful presentations throughout the weekend. The scientists and medical professionals delivered profound and compelling presentations confirming the presence of the human pathogens Borrelia, Helicobacter and Bartonella in MD patients’ skin samples which were absent in the control samples. These findings contribute to the strong body of evidence supporting Morgellons Disease has an infectious etiology. (2)

Conference speakers included Randy S. Wymore, Ph.D., Director of Research at OSU-CHS-CIMD (Center for the Investigation of Morgellons Disease) and research assistant, Carol Saylor-Hefley; Marianne Middelveen, an Independent Researcher from Calgary, Alberta, Canada; and Eva Sapi, Ph.D. from the University of New Haven.

Dr. Randy Wymore offered some candid, but prophetic comments concerning the media blitz about a possible connection of Morgellons disease to Joni Mitchell’s recent hospitalization: “Unfortunately, some media choose to focus on only the unusual Morgellons symptoms. Facts (research) in peer-reviewed journal papers and soon to be published results from OSU-CHS clearly show a bacterial infection in Morgellons patients.”

Ginger Savely, DNP provided attendees with a historical review of MD and discussion on diagnosis and treatment; Dr Eboni Cornish enlightened those at the conference with in-depth presentations surrounding medical management; Melissa McElroy, NP from San Francisco presented a classification system developed for MD. These knowledgeable medical providers, who are closely involved with the condition, provided a medical framework to help validate and standardize the diagnosis of Morgellons disease. Robert Giguere from GeneX Lab contributed exceptional insights concerning detection of the pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi. The well-respected reference laboratory specializing in state-of-the-art clinical and research testing for Lyme disease and associated tick-borne diseases, is now also focusing on Morgellons disease.

Finally, the psychological toll caused by MD was addressed by Stanford/Case Western Psychiatrist, Dr. Edward Kilbane and retired Georgia Pediatrician Dr. Greg Smith. “It is quite unfortunate Morgellons Disease has been associated with the psychiatric disorder Delusions of Parasitosis. Indeed, they are distinct entities,” said Dr. Smith, CEHMDF Assoc. Dir. “It is sad that, rather than approaching this disorder as something a bit different, it immediately was placed in the delusional spectrum. The serious systemic symptoms were dismissed as well,” concluded Dr. Smith.

About The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation…

The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation is a 501©3 nonprofit committed to advocacy and philanthropy in the battle against MD. An all-volunteer organization based in Austin, TX, the Holman foundation is the singularly recognized authority on Morgellons disease and stands alone in funding scientific research of this condition. Executive Director Cindy Casey-Holman, RN leads the foundation, named for Charles E. Holman, a pioneer in the fight against MD. Currently, there exist neither grants, nor any other public or private funding sources to support research for this disease. Event proceeds will be used to further this research, education and awareness. All donations are tax deductible. To learn more about Morgellons disease go to MorgellonsDisease.org . The conference was recorded for educational purposes. DVDs will be available soon through the foundation’s website.

Dr. Chris Stevens Brings Modern Dental Implants as an Alternative to Traditional Dentures, to Madison, WI

Wednesday, May 13th, 2015


Madison, WI (PRWEB) April 20, 2015

Individuals who have one or more missing teeth can now schedule an appointment to receive dental implants in Madison, WI, from Dr. Chris Stevens. Implants are a comfortable and durable alternative to dentures and are a reliable solution for patients with tooth loss.

Dr. Chris Stevens now offers dental implants in Madison, WI, for patients who have one or more missing teeth. Single implants are ideal solutions for tooth loss due to accidents, decay, or gum disease. Implants are also a comfortable and effective option for patients who are missing several teeth and want a treatment option that is more comfortable and natural-looking than traditional dentures. Dr. Stevens carefully analyzes his patient’s mouths in order to determine if there is enough bone mass and density to support implants.

When one or more teeth are knocked out during an accident, or fall out due to disease, it does not take long for the empty tooth socket to contribute to dental problems. These problems include the movement of adjacent teeth in the mouth and a loss of jaw bone stimulation, due to the absence of tooth roots in the affected area. Although dentures can be quickly placed over the area in order to function as natural teeth, they do not stimulate the jaw bone and thus do not reduce bone loss.

Unlike dentures, implants are not placed on top of the gums nor are they secured with paste or cream. Instead, they are inserted directly into the jaw bone and serve to stimulate the bone in the same way that natural teeth do. Additionally, implants do not carry the risk of falling out of the mouth because they are permanently anchored. Once implants are successfully integrated into the jaw bone, they are very strong and should serve their intended function for the rest of the patient’s life, as long as they are cared for properly.

Patients with missing teeth due to disease, decay, or injury can now receive natural-looking dental implants in Madison, WI, from Dr. Stevens. An appointment may be scheduled by calling his Madison practice during regular business hours.
