Getting Rid of Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus is notoriously hard to get rid of. Just do a Google search and you will see pages upon pages of home remedies, prescriptions and more on ways to kill the fungus. Let's explore a few of these and their efficacy. But before we jump into our list, you might wonder why we aren't looking at over-the-counter remedies. Simply, they are not that effective, and some haven't even been tested and approved by the FDA, so we are only mentioning remedies that have. Oral Prescription The CDC says the first-line treatment is terbinafine, and that it works up to 70 percent of the time in people who still have growing nails and their cases of fungus are mild to moderate. But it’s not right for everyone. How well you’re suited to it depends on many factors including your health and what else you’re taking. This drug can come with side effects - one being liver damage. How long it takes to get rid of toenail fungus with oral therapies? About three months. Keep...

Latisse: What it can do for you

Have you ever had issues putting on your mascara OR put too much on just to try and make your lashes look more prominent? Well the issue may not be your ability to use your makeup that you have in your vanity, as opposed to what YouTube makeup tutors may have you think. Your growth and natural size of your lashes could be the problem. Fortunately, Fairlawn Aesthetics can now offer you Latisse to help improve your eyelash length and volume! Latisse was first created in 2001 by Allergan and like many great inventions, it was discovered on accident. Originally a part of a medicated eye drop solution to treat inner-eye pressure, people taking the eye drops started to realize that their eyelashes grew unexpectedly larger and thicker than ever before. Therefore, Latisse was born! It was found that the active ingredient, bimatoprost, could be used to exclusively grow lashes after an intensive study by Allergan. After the studies, Latisse was approved by the FDA in 2008 helping many peo...

Tattoo Removal with Fairlawn

There are too many stories that happen the same way. You go out with your friends, have what seems to be a never-ending night, then someone chimes in the terrible idea: ‘We should get tattoos!’ Although the normal you would have stopped and thought about it, the 3 a.m. peer pressured version of you is completely interested in the idea. One thing leads to another and you find yourself waking up the next evening and seeing ink on your body that wasn’t there the night before. You grab your phone and you frantically search ‘ tattoo removal ’ and try to figure out how much it is going to cost you to remove your mistake. Luckily, tattoo removal is much easier to find nowadays than it was even within the last decade. Laser tattoo removal first came around in 1967 but, because of the limitations on technology, was rather ineffective to remove the whole tattoo. However, as technology progressed, the lasers used for removal did as well. This led to the creation of the Q-switched lasers (w...

Caring for Your Skin after 40

There is always this big fuss over turning 40 (or is it 50?). You are "over the hill" and "middle-aged" and any number of other not-so-flattering descriptors. While we absolutely believe that age is very much a mindset, we do recognize that our bodies do change with the flipping of calendar pages. That being said, we want to care for our skin in the best way possible and what worked for you at 20 probably will not anymore once you reach 45. Here are some tips and tricks that will keep you fooling people as to what your real age is. DRINK WATER We put this one in all caps because we know this one is very much common knowledge, but do you know how often you actually get the amount of water you really need? A survey said that only about 30% of the daily intake of water is actually from drinking water. The rest comes from juices and sodas, and those will contribute to weight gain. Cut those drinks out (coffee and tea are ok), and up that water intake! ...
