Haircut will be conditioned mainly by our face or facial typology, although factors such as our style of dress or work should also be taken into account to see what our ideal haircut is. It is important to be advised by a good stylist and by… common sense.
Here are some tips:
Haircut for a Square Face
People with a squarer face or wider features usually look better with a slightly longer haircut (covering the forehead and not past the shoulders) but with a lot of volume. They should not wear their hair tied back as it would further highlight their wide jaw. Highlights usually help «elongate» their face, avoiding the square sensation. Earrings will also favor that sensation.
Haircut for an Oval Face
Most stylists agree that this type of face is very «forgiving»; choose your favorite haircut since almost all cuts suit them well. It is very important not to cover the face too much so as not to reduce it.
Haircut for a Round Face
Logic tells us that rounder faces or features should avoid haircuts that increase this aspect. Therefore, short and fluffy or voluminous haircuts are never suitable. The ideal would be long hair or medium-length hair without volume.
Haircut for an Elongated Face
In this case, the opposite is true, as a haircut that helps us achieve more of a sense of breadth will suit us. The hair should not be long or straight, and in general, we will seek maximum volume (curls or perm) in order to round out our face.
Haircut for a Heart-Shaped Face
It is the typical childlike-shaped face since they have a small chin or jaw.
The ideal haircut would be one that seeks to compensate for that «poorer» zone. In most cases, the person looks better with a medium-length cut, in different layers and with quite a bit of volume at the bottom. This way, that area looks «fuller.»

Peeling Keeps Skin Young, Smooth and Clean
Peeling is based on the elimination of a part of the epidermis so that it then regenerates. Different techniques can be used:
Chemical agents.
Laser.
Microdermabrasion.
This way, skin spots, small wrinkles and scars such as those caused by acne can be eliminated, while returning the skin’s natural luminosity and improving its quality by favoring the increase of collagen and elastin.
Peeling can be performed on different layers of the skin depending on the therapeutic objective:
The superficial part improves the quality of the skin.
Medium, indicated for fine wrinkles.
Deep skin, indicated for crow’s feet or those that appear at the corners of the lips.
For the performance of peeling, different chemical compounds are used, depending on the objective of the treatment and the depth at which it is applied on the skin:
Lactic acid: has hydrating and renewing properties of the skin. Used to treat spots and certain types of acne.
Glycolic acid: achieves good penetration into the skin. Can irritate. Indicated for spots, aging and non-inflammatory acne.
Salicylic acid: penetrates easily into the pores of the skin and has an antiseptic effect, so it is very useful for reducing inflammation of acne lesions. It has also shown benefits in the elimination of spots.
Mandelic acid: has the advantage of not producing as much irritation as glycolic acid, which guides its use in more sensitive skins, especially regarding spots and acne.
Retinoic acid: useful for treating skin aging and non-inflammatory acne.
Trichloroacetic acid: indicated in the treatment of deeper scars and very photoaged skin. It should always be performed on fair skin.
Microdermabrasion is an aesthetic procedure that removes the outer layers of cells in the skin using diamond tip. The results are similar to those obtained with chemical peeling, but with more depth and in a less aggressive way. It is ideal for the natural regeneration of the skin, which favors the elimination of wrinkles and scars.

Stretch Marks: Causes and Treatment
Stretch marks are stripes or irregular lines on the skin that are usually produced by stretching of the skin, as a result of pregnancy, obesity, rapid growth in children or the existence of specific diseases.
Stretch marks usually appear as initially reddish, shiny and thin parallel lines, which later acquire the appearance of a scar, possibly presenting a formation of grooves in the skin with a whitish coloration. They generally appear on the breasts, hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen and sides. They are also called gravidic stretch marks or stretch marks.
Another cause of stretch mark formation can be an alteration in the collagen formation process, which is a substance that provides elasticity to the skin. In this case, the origin may be a medication, a pre-existing disease (Cushing’s disease, nephritic syndrome, etc.) or excessive use of creams.
Gravidic stretch marks or stretch marks usually fade after the cause that generated them disappears, such as pregnancy or the rapid growth typical of puberty. Although this is not always the case and they can persist over time if the proper precautions are not taken.
This happens, for example, in pregnancy, where it is advisable to use specific creams to maintain skin elasticity. On the other hand, caffeine, alcohol, tea and other substances favor the appearance of stretch marks. Conversely, foods rich in vitamins A, C, D and Zinc can help prevent their appearance.
The last resort if stretch marks do not disappear is to turn to the treatments offered by aesthetic medicine, such as laser, chemical peeling or plastic surgery.

Exilis, the New Facial and Body Treatment Against Flaccidity
80% of adults suffer from flaccidity. An advanced non-surgical treatment arrives in Panama that combats facial and body flaccidity. Its unique technology in the world manages to tone and firm the skin without pain, without disability, quickly, safely and effectively.
Exilis, the new treatment against flaccidity
Until recently there was no effective medical procedure to treat that uncomfortable skin condition, which makes the majority of the female and male population on the planet feel self-conscious: flaccidity.
It is explained that «this alteration occurs due to the loss of firmness, tone and elasticity of the skin. Small strips known as reticular framework hold the skin firmly attached to the muscles and bones. As an effect of gravity, obesity, weight changes or the simple passage of years, these strips become longer and lose their contraction capacity, that is flaccidity.»
Medical technology applied to aesthetics achieved a unique scientific development in the world called Exilis, patented under high quality standards in the Czech Republic where conclusive scientific studies were conducted demonstrating its excellent benefits. Currently, it is the most successful treatment in Europe and the United States thanks to its good results, safety and quite accessible cost.
It is the only treatment in the world that fuses high frequency and ultrasound cold, two technologies that combined generate deep, controlled heating producing a contraction of the reticular framework, restoring tone and firmness to the skin.
