Facial Feminization Procedures 2005

Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) Transsexual Road Map > Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) > Index Google Transsexual Road Map Transsexual Road Map is reader-supported. Please support this project! Facial Feminization Procedures 2005 update It's been 9(!) years since I first wrote about my facial feminization surgery, and it still remains the best investment I have ever made. Period. In Summer 2005, I filmed an interview with Dr. Ousterhout and the women who run Cocoon Guest House, which is available on DVD or as streaming video . Since I had FFS , many other women have come forward to share their experiences and results, and the procedures are now collectively called FFS throughout the community! I never would have gone to San Francisco if I hadn't written to Dallas Denny in 1996, who mentioned two surgeons on the west coast. So those who write to thank me should also thank Dallas! Introduction If being accepted as female is your goal, one of the most important things to consider is facial feminization surgery. I feel that it can have a major impact in the quality of your day-to-day life, far more so than other aspects of transition. It's not enough by itself to make you be accepted as female, but for some, it's a necessity. I feel the key to being accepted as female is from the neck up . That means hair removal , voice , and face are vital. If you're serious about having a smooth transition and the option of stealth, you should read my section on how to prioritize . Generally speaking, bony work will have a far more dramatic effect on face shape, which is necessary in some cases in order to be accepted as female. Men and women have basic differences in skull shapes, and if you have a skull shape outside of female range, it might make being accepted as female more difficult. Soft tissue work can be enough for some women to be accepted as female. Soft tissue work may be necessary to get the full result of bony work for some women. In general soft tissue work will smooth and tighten areas, making you look younger and by extension more feminine. There are masculine and feminine aging patterns, and getting rid of certain soft tissue traits can make a significant difference in your ability to be accepted as female. Due to problems from disrespectful web surfers outside our community, some transwomen have removed their FFS photos from the web, including me. I apologize for this inconvenience.

sensitive skin. Every person

Sensitive skin care Sensitive skin care Find out how you can care for your sensitive skin by reading this article. Did you know that the skin is the human body's largest organ? All animals with backbones have skin covering their entire body. Skin not only protects the organs of the body, but it also allows for sweating which helps to regulate the temperature fo the human body. Our skin is made up of three layers which are called the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fatty tissue layer. Your skin is subject to the harsh rays of the sun, especially if you are a sun worshiper, and lay out to get a dark tan, and it can sustain damage in other ways too. Depending on your job, your skin can come in contact with harsh cleaning chemicals, dirt, grime, and grease. Even when you are relaxing and having fun, like swimming in a pool, your body can come in contact with chlorine and other harsh chemicals that are sometimes found in swimming pools. Now that you know a little bit about your skin, learn some more by finding out how you can take care of your sensitive skin. Every person should follow the same basic skin care routine for their face. However, for a person with sensitive skin, there are some differences. The steps of basic facial skin care should be done on a daily basis. The first step is to clean off any makeup that you may have applied to your face. Use tissues or cotton balls to remove most of the makeup. You can then remove any makeup residue by washing your face with a mild soap or cleanser. There are beauty soaps on the market that contain lanolin and other softening agents that work well. Avoid soaps or cleansers that contain harsh chemicals or ingredients that might dry your face or irritate your sensitive skin. These include cleansers which contain alcohol and the like. Next, if you washed your face with soap, now, cleanse your face with a mild face cleanser. You should use a cleanser that will remove all of the dirt, and basic pollution off of your face without drying your facial skin or changing the pH balance. The next step is to use a toner on your face. A good toner should make your face feel smooth and refreshed. It will tighten the pores in the face and make your skin look smoohter. Again, beware of products that contain harsh ingredients. If your face is very sensitive, you may have to avoid any type of products that contain dyes, colorings, or scents, as they can and do irritate sensitive skin. Alot of toners contain alcohol or some form of it. Again, avoid these ingredients. Choose a toner that will not irritate or dry your sensitive skin. Men should choose shaving creams that contain aloe vera, baby oil,or some other type of gentle formula. Most after shaves contain alcohol, so a man may choose to forego the scent for the sake of their face. There are a few products on the market which a man with sensitive skin can use. As for the rest of the body, soaps, shampoos, body cleansers, bath oils, bubble baths, etc. should be chosen with care. Again, check the ingredients and avoid using harsh chemicals that can irritate your skin. © 2002 Pagewise You are here: Essortment Home >> Fashion & Beauty >> Beauty:Hair/Skin >> Sensitive skin care << Treatment cure products for dry skin problems and rashes Facial mask recipes >>

Let us show you how The therapeutic effects of bathing in the Dead Sea were well known even in times of antiquity. Galenus, for instance, stated that this salt water was good for the treatment of Arthritis, Eczema, Muscular Pain, Rheumatism, Psoriasis, and also to Relieve Tension , Aid Relaxation, and develop Smooth Silky Skin . T he Jewish Roman historian Flavius, wrote 2000 years ago-The Dead Sea cannot be praised too highlytravelers take as much of this salt as they are able to home with them because it heals the human body and is therefore used in many medicines. Click here for printable version of the information on this page The waters of the Dead Sea are unique compared to other seas and lakes primarily due to the high concentration of salts reaching 27% compared to 3% in ordinary sea water. The composition of the Dead Sea salts is also unique. Whereas in ordinary sea water sodium chloride (common salt) is the major constituent (about 80% of the total salt content) the Dead Sea on the other hand contains a considerably smaller proportion of sodium chloride, the balance consisting of magnesium, potassium and calcium chlorides , and a comparatively high concentration of bromides. It is believed that the therapeutic properties of the Dead Sea are due in large extent to the presence of these other salts, mainly those of magnesium, potassium and bromide. As the name suggests, the Dead Sea is devoid of life due to an extremely high content of salts and minerals. But it is these natural elements which g i ve its water their curative powers. Dead Sea Salts and Mud have been recognized by millions of people as a single source of health and beauty since the days of Herod the Great, more than 2,000 years ago. Click here for printable version of the information on this page Dead Sea salts are a mixture of bath salts which contain the important salts of the Dead Sea. The Mixture is obtained by fractional evaporation and crystallization of Dead Sea salts from the brines. This process enriches the therapeutically valuable potassium and magnesium salts, while retaining all the other mineral elements of the Dead Sea. The bath salts contain no additive s and are of excellent bacteriological quality. Click here for Pricing and order Dead Sea Salt Bath Soak : Simple but Elegant Bathing - Just Add Water. Dead Sea Salts contain more than 15 natural and unprocessed minerals important to your health. This concentration of minerals may improve, and in some cases alleviate, serious skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. The waters of the Dead Sea, the mud, and the salts extracted from it, are rich in unique concentrations of life-enhancing minerals, which include the highest levels of magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium. Pour 6-10 oz. of Mineral Salts into your bath, and dissolve it under running hot or warm water, soak for 20-30 minutes, then shower off. For additional benefit, rest for half-an-hour under a warm blanket. Use 3 to 4 times a week for six weeks. Resume when needed. Note: Dead Sea Bath Salts are clinically proven to provide relief from Psoriasis when utilized in a recommended six week regimen (2.2 baths, 20 minute per bath, 3 baths per week, for 6 weeks).

Click here for printable version of the information on this page DEAD SEA SALTS THERAPY In order to ascertain and confirm the beneficial therapeutic effects of Dead Sea Bath Salts, a series of clinical research projects have been carried out both in Israel and in other countries where the use of the salts has become an established practice. Dr. I. Machtey (1) studied the influences of Dead Sea Bath Salts on rheumatic patients suffering from osteoarthritis or a localized type of tendonitis. 103 patients were treated for one or two weeks with daily Dead Sea Bath Salts in a sanatorium located about 400 m. above sea level. The patients were randomly assigned to one of three types of baths (three sub groups): 1. Bath treatment with a Dead Sea salt concentration of 7.5%. 2. Baths with a 2% salt concentration. 3. Baths with a 0.5% salt concentration. One week of proper treatment resulted in impressive improvement in all parameters in patients receiving 7.5% and 2% bath salt concentration, but little or no improvement was noted in those treated with 0.5% salt concentration. The greater the physical limitations, the more pronounced was the improvement. Sixty-six patients received two weeks treatment. An additional slight improvement was noted in patients treated with 7.5% or 2%salt concentration, and those having only 0.5% salt baths improved relatively more as compared with the results after the first week of treatment. However most of the results in the 0.5% group were less impressive than those in the higher concentrations. Over 80% of all the patients reported having less pain, 70% said their mobility improved, and about 60% were able to decrease their use of analgesics. Dr. Machtey concludes his study by stating that There is little doubt that the Dead Sea treatment in those who benefit from it can be extended and repeated at home using a 2%bath solution, which is both economical and readily available. A similar study was carried out by Dr. P Engel (2) from the sanatorium clinic of the city of Mayenbad, Bad Waldsee, in Germany. The study was performed with 60 patients whose rheumatic discomfort could not be substantially reduced by the customary balneotherapy of their clinic. The baths with Dead Sea Bath Salts were then prescribed in lieu of additional medicinal therapy. Each patient was treated for a duration of four weeks, with 3 baths per week. Salt concentration was 2.5% (2 Kg per 801. bath), duration of bath 20 minutes, temperature of water 37 C. Parameters examined included: Pain at rest, spontaneous pain, kinesalgia, pain on pressure and reduced mobility. A summary of the results shows that in 76.2% of cases very good therapeutic results were obtained, 10.2% responded moderately well and only in 13.6% no success was noted. Dr. J. Arndt, from Germany (3) made a study of the effect of Dead Sea Bath Salts on patients suffering from psoriasis. Fifty patients, aged between 14 and 77 years were treated with the salts in a controlled way. Treatment consisted of partial or total baths. For a total bath, 2 Kgs of the salts were dissolved in a bath at a temperature of 27 C. The partial baths were made with a concentration of about 10%. The baths lasted for 20 minutes and afterwards the skin was thoroughly rinsed with running water. The effect is enhanced when the patient remains in a warm packed condition for one hour after the bath. The treatment lasted for 3-4 weeks, with 3-4 baths per week. The results show that most symptoms of the illness diminished within one week of treatment, notably itch, scaling joint complaints, and the falling asleep and sleeping through difficulties. Other parameters such as spread , redness and infiltration decreased somewhat more slowly. Improvement was steady-the four week treatment left the patients essentially free from complaints. Dr. Arndt points out that of particular importance from the patients point of view is the rapid relief from such irritating system as itching. There is a corresponding relief from sleeping disturbances, which were rather wide-spread prior to treatment. The drastic decrease in scaling within one week can be interpreted by physician and patient alike as a further proof of the course outlined above: healing was total in 27 patients (54%), whereas in 22 cases there was a marked impressive improvement. Tolerance was excellent in all 50 cases. There were no side effects whatsoever, dermatological or otherwise. (1).
