The importance of women’s health

Take a glance at your to-do list. Where does ‘your’ name fall on the list? Often women put themselves at the end of their to-do lists—or worse don't put themselves on the list at all! This is scary when you think about health care to-do lists.

Not only are women pushing themselves at the end of the every to-do lists, some women aren't  getting around to it all. A shocking number of women admit that often they put off taking care of themselves or getting their health appointments made because they are so busy taking care of other family members' health.

With the never ending demands of family and work, many women do not make their own health a priority, yet book their kids' annual physicals a year in advance or drive their parents to and from their doctors' appointments.

It's not surprising women feel busy. However, it is equally important for women to take care of themselves to not only be fit enough for their endless chores but also to celebrate and pamper the beautiful women in them.

What is the first step to keep this promise?
1. Women should invest in good health care plans. Getting a fullprivate health screening done once annually that includes blood testing and complete body checkup is a great option. IPSA medical is a perfect choice for such medical facilities if you stay in London.

2. Apart from health checkups, eating nutritious food and sparing some time for exercise is a must for supporting good health.

3. Having regular appointments at a beauty salon and spa is another good way to dedicate some minutes to your ‘precious’ self!


4. Reading your favourite author’s books and sipping a warm cup of coffee once a while gives you a much needed quick break from the hectic monotonous routine.

How to make a scar vanish?

Of the keenest wishes a woman has, having a beautiful flawless skin is the most wanted of them. Every woman swears to this one! Flawless skin not only adds grace but makes you look naturally beautiful. You love to flaunt this beautiful blessing. However, having a scar on a naturally beautiful skin is the worst nightmare. It hampers your beauty and your confidence too.
What is a scar?
Scarring is a natural part of the healing process after an injury. Its appearance and its treatment depend on multiple factors. The depth and size of the wound or cut and the location of the injury matter. So do your age, genes, sex, and ethnicity.

What are the types of Scars and how to deal with them?
People seek help for scars if they are painful or itchy, if they are unpleasant, or if they restrict movement. Although scars cannot be removed completely, they can often be made less visible.  There are many scar reduction treatments available in the market ranging from over-the-counter or prescription ointments for topical application to scar reduction injections and corrective surgeries. But which is the best…depends upon the scar type and depth.

These are several different types of scars including:
     Keloid scars: They result due to an overly aggressive healing process. They spread beyond the original injury and over the time it may hamper movement. Treatment options comprise of surgery to remove the scar, steroid injections, or silicone sheets to fill and flatten the scar. Keloids smaller in size can be eliminated using cryotherapy (freezing therapy using liquid nitrogen). Keloid formation can be prevented using pressure treatment or gel pads with silicone when one is injured. Keloid scars are most common among people with dark skin.

     Contracture scars: These scars result due to burned skin. They tighten skin, which affects your ability to move. These scars may also go deeper, affecting muscles and nerves.

     Hypertrophic scars: Similar to keloids, these are raised and red but do not spread beyond the boundary of the injury. Treatments include injections of steroids to reduce inflammation or silicone sheets, which flatten the scar.


     Acne scars: If you've had severe acne, you probably have the scars to prove it. There are many types of acne scars, ranging from deep pits to scars that are angular or wavelike in appearance. Treatment options depend on the types of acne scars you have.
