If you have cellulite you probably know it, it is the “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” texture of the skin on the thighs, arms, stomach or buttocks. However if you want to get rid of cellulite, it is probably best to be able to grade your cellulite condition and place yourself on a measurable scale, in order to understand how to treat it. There are a few grading methods. The most popular is the Nurenberger Muller grading system.
According to this method cellulite condition is graded on a scale of 0-3.
Grade 0 – No cellulite is apparent when pinching the skin or when standing. (Very nice to be graded in this group)
Grade 1 – Cellulite is visible only when pinching the skin. It is not visible when standing or lying. This is also a very low grade as the cellulite is not really an aesthetic problem but it can be visible if you sit crossed legged with your thighs visible, creating a pinching effect on the crossed thighs..
Grade 2 – Cellulite is visible only when standing, when lying down it disappears. (Not to good for walking on the beach, but good enough if you remain horizontal on the sand…)
Grade 3 – Cellulite is visible any way you look at it, lying down, standing, pinching, no place to hide.
If you graded yourself as grade 2 or 3 the good news is that you can get rid of cellulite or at least change your position on the scale. Currently there are plenty of anti cellulite treatments in the market, starting from cellulite creams and up to different technologies based on light or technologies based on Radio Frequency. Women tend to prefer treatments which can be conducted at home, however cellulite creams have very limited effect. Ultragen Ltd. developed home used device specifically in order to solve this problem, of having effective cellulite treatment at the comfort of your home. The TriPollar Pose is based on the unique and professional radio frequency technology.
TriPollar POSE treats cellulite by focusing direct heat to the fat cells in those specific areas of concern. TriPollar POSE heats the fat cells deep within the skin (hypodermis layer of skin), accelerating liquid fat release and immediately shrinking their size. At the same time there is a contraction of collagen fibers in the skin restoring it closer to its original form and increasing the rate of collagen fiber production for long lasting clinical results of smoother, more contoured body, while reducing the appearance of cellulite.

How to Get Rid of Cellulite by Grading It

Aging and sexuality
Sex, it is all in the head… is it really? It has always been in the head this is a fact, if you survey the young women population you will find that many women do not reach orgasm and do not fully enjoy sex many years prior to the dreadful menopause.
After reaching menopause women finally have justification for not possessing a strong sex drive (as apposed to men that cannot stop thinking about sex 70% or higher of the wake time).
I believe that how a woman perceives herself as she ages has a very powerful impact on her low sex drive and enjoyment of sex games. If a woman does not feel attractive and does not like her image in the mirror, adding hormones will not really make the difference.
A few tips for enjoying sex after the peak years:
1. Be open with your partner; discuss your feelings, fears and embarrassments. This can help you both search for creative solutions that will turn you both on.
2. Find comfortable positions that do not trigger the aches and pains of stiffness.
3. Find a good lubricant that you both like, there are some creative lubricants out there that can actually add fun and excitement to the game.
4. Exercise and eat healthy food, maintaining a balanced diet will improve the general sense of well being and can make one feel better mentally and physically.
5. It is no shame to masturbate or use a vibrator. A vibrator can also add to your sex games with your partner, if you have not tried it yet, it is never too late to begin.
6. Enjoy safe sex, yes even the aging population can transmit sexual disease or HIV (at least you will not get pregnant…)
7. Make your self beautiful; there are a few methods to improve lax skin and cellulite. Home devices which are dedicated for anti aging treatments and cellulite treatments are available to treat yourself on a regular basis or before a romantic evening. Treat yourself to your favorite antiaging creams and serums to make your skin feel and look better.
So do not give up on the pleasures of sex just because you are expected to. Sex is a very important factor for living a healthy happy life.

Valentines Gifts – The Unique Approach
Valentines Day is approaching with the connotations associated with it. Billions of dollars are spent each 14th of February worldwide on valentines cards, flowers small gifts, dinners and other valentine gifts to expr
ess one’s love and affection to a partner, friends and family.
The origins of Valentines Day are vague but it seems that it was established around the pre Roman pagan festival Lupercalia which was celebrated on the 13th -15th of February and was centered around fertility. Rather than resisting the pagan festivities, the Catholic Church adopted this festival under Valentines day, legends associate the name with a few “St Valentine”, however the most romantic legend tells of a priest St Valentine whom continued to perform marriage ceremonies during a period marriage was banned by the Roman Emperor Claudius II. Claudius II believed that marriages weaken his soldiers and by keeping the soldiers single the men are stronger and more dedicated to their duties. When Claudius II realized that St Valentines is disobeying his orders he was imprisoned and executed (of course the legend adds that Claudius’s daughter was in love with St Valentines).
The most common valentines ideas for gifts are valentines cards, flowers and chocolates, all of which are very romantic but do not last longer than a few days and it is starting to become too ordinary.
If you are tired of these standard gifts, a great and unique valentines gift ideas for the woman or man who likes to look great and feel even better is the TriPollar POSE . This home use device is dedicated for the body and can get you back in shape; it gives the best solution in the market for skin tightening, cellulite reduction and body contouring.

New Anti-Aging App Now by iPhone
We all want to look younger, or at least not to get older. For this reason, the word Anti-Aging has become so popular in the past few years. When we refer the word Anti Ageing, we refer to any anti-aging treatment, product, health or nutrition which will assist us to maintain our beauty and youth.
A new application by iPhone was developed by Danny Salomon, an American contractor with the aim to preserve our youth and beauty. This application was developed for iPhone, Blackberry, and Android Mobile devices.
The “AntiAgeingApp” which can be downloaded from iTunes claims to use light, color, and sound wavelength to stimulate the body to produce more collagen, and improve circulation. It claims to minimize wrinkles, cellulite, and even fix hair loss.
The new application creates a great bazz on the web, which especially concerns about the new application’s credibility and its actual results.
Allegedly, using light and sound therapy is a known technology, and it is commonly used in spas and salons as part of anti ageing treatments; nevertheless its efficiency was not proven yet. The fact that this technology competence was not scientifically proven is an advantage and disadvantage at the same time for the new AntiAgeingApp. On the one hand, since there are no proofs, there is no prevention to claim that it does exactly what other products do. On the other hand, it open hornet’s nest regarding the application’s credibility even before it was launched.
Does it really work? Does it worth the money? You decide…

Virtual Beauty and Self Esteem.
The French government recently suggested requiring publishers to introduce notices on ads that feature airbrushed models and beauty makeover; a similar proposal has been brought up in the UK.
The reasoning behind this issue is the fact young girls exposed to these advertisements, tend to develop dissatisfaction with their bodies, this causes them to develop eating disorders and a low self esteem.
A study conducted in the School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia, demonstrated that after viewing ads with “perfect” models, subjects experienced anxiety related to their appearance (1). A similar study was conducted in the university of Kent, UK (2). This study also demonstrated a negative correlation between women’s body image weight following exposure to idealized images, it also found a correlation between women’s self image and sexual satisfaction; the lower the self image a woman has the less sexual satisfaction.
It is an interesting idea to expose the ads that are retouched to improve the model. However, it would be very difficult to fully implement this restriction, what is the fine line between retouching photos for print and manipulation of images? Will the message in small print next to the picture of the slim, perfect image have any influence on the viewer?
It is clear, however that it is important to have a positive self image, this strengthens ones self esteem and makes the individual less prone to comparison with the external images. As we age it requires more effort to maintain the positive loving attitude to our body, we need to increase exercise duration, sleep more and search for good anti-aging care. Some simple non invasive methods are available to actually increase the collagen in the skin and to tighten existing skin without neither pain nor complex procedures. Some of the anti aging methods even include home skin anti-aging devices, which require only little investment of time and money, such as the TriPollar STOP device.

Do your frequent flyer points increase the aging process?
For some of us, air traveling has become a frequent activity; in fact, many of us travel through the sky more than we travel on land. There have been many reports on health issues related to frequent flying; these include exposure to cosmic radiation, low quality filtered air and dehydration, blood clots due to immobility (DVT), and general stress related to travel.
How severe are these health hazards, can they increase the skin aging process and can we take steps to protect our selves from the ill effect of them?
Exposure to radiation is indeed increased while flying but this exposure should not be a major concern and does not cause skin damage similar to sun skin damage from UV exposure and does not speed up the ageing process of skin. A report issued by Health Canada states that exposure to cosmic radiation is not a major concern: “At commercial aircraft altitudes cosmic radiation is much more intense than on the ground. Even though exposure can be a hundred times greater at these altitudes than it is on the ground, it is still fairly small. It would take about 100 one-way flights between Toronto and Vancouver to obtain the same exposure as we get in one year from other sources of natural background radiation.” According to this report, the risk associated with frequent exposure to cosmic radiation is development of cancer that will appear years after the actual exposure: “the chance of a fatal cancer occurring would be approximately 1% following 30 years of flying, at 1000 hours per year. Most people fly much less and the chance of a fatal cancer occurring would also be much less. As we all have about a 25% chance of getting a fatal cancer, cosmic radiation represents a small addition to the underlying cancer risk from all causes.”
DVT is Deep Venous (Vein) Thrombosis, also known as “economy class syndrome”. DVT is a result of many hours spent immobile, this is not necessarily restricted to flying, sitting in a car for many hours or even at your desk, can cause DVT. (DVT should not be confused with external, superficial varicose veins.) The major danger of SYMPTOMS DVT is the dislodging of the clot to the lungs, a condition called pulmonary embolism which can even cause death. As mentioned, DVT is not a condition restricted to air travelling and does not affect the aging skin. To decrease the risk of DVT while traveling, one should increase consumption of fluids during flight (not coffee and alcohol). In addition it is important to move around (about 5 minutes of movement every hour along with some simple foot and leg exercises). Special compression socks are also available to prevent DVT during flight.
The low quality filtered air is a source of harmful bacteria and viruses; basically the air is recycled along with the negative disease spreading agents. This air is also lower in oxygen levels but not low enough to cause damage or affect normal physiological processes. An additional draw back of the recycled air is the lack of humidity, causing dry skin and a feeling of dehydration. This can be easily amended by consuming lots of fluids (not coffee or alcohol) and using a good moisturizer or your favorite anti aging cream, this temporary dehydration is not a major factor for speeding of the aging process.
The stress of traveling is the most prominent aging “side affect” of traveling. Stress is not related to flying alone but it is surly increased when one has a tight schedule to match and this schedule cannot be controlled by the traveler as the weather, and other obstacles can ruin an important business trip. Stress is a known enhancer of the aging process including wrinkles and dull skin. When travelling, try to relax, allow yourself a stress-free schedule with reasonable time between connecting flights. In addition, try to get a good night’s sleep before the flight. Drinking alcohol during the flight is not a solution to the stress; it will increase dehydration and make you feel more tired and drained after the flight. To fight the aging symptoms of stress one should increase fluid consumption, use good natural anti aging creams along with good night antiaging masks and treatments. Other options for treating your stress related wrinkles and dull complexion in the comfort of your home, especially after long flight, are using other anti aging products, such as the TriPollar STOP. The TriPollar STOP is a new clinical skin renewal device which brings about a fresh, younger look immediately after the treatment.
The TriPollar Radio Frequency Technology gently heats the skin from inside, creating dramatic clinical anti-aging results while stimulating the collagen production and thickening of the dermis.

How to Avoid and Take Care of Stretch Marks
Stretch mark is a common problem among women, especially after rapid weight loss, and after pregnancy. It seems that 75-90 percent of the pregnant women tend to develop pregnancy st
retch marks during the 6th or 7th month of pregnancy.
Stretch marks do not represent a medical problem, but an aesthetic one. No women want to be seen with red and white stripes on the belly, tights, breasts or buttocks.
Most of the stretch marks creams in the market cannot really remove the marks and usually work on lightening the stretch mark and therefore make it less visible.
A woman who is determined not to develop stretch marks pregnancy can follow the tips below:
• Regular moisturizing on the belly, breast and thighs can prevent the skin from irritating and keeps the skin more flexible as the body expends. It is best to use simple oil.
• Healthy diet is important in order to nurture your skin. It is important to take the necessary prenatal vitamins.
• Drinking plenty of water and can keep the body hydrated and preserve elasticity.
• Keeping a steady weight gain is important during pregnancy in order to maintain a constant expansion of the skin.
• Tender exercises during and after giving birth can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, as it promotes better circulation and improve the appearance of the skin.
Stretch marks removal isn’t easy and following these tips does not necessary mean that a woman can abstain from having pregnancy stretch marks. Therefore many women who are still very concerned about how their stretch marks appear consider cosmetic surgery as a last option.
A new home device just came into the market as a solution for women who are not satisfied with their stretch mark appearance, but still reluctant to have surgery. The TriPollar POSE shrinks the fat cells and therefore reducing body circumference while improving the appearance of stretch marks for a smoother, tighter and more toned body. TriPollar™ POSE™ is the ideal clinically proven option to professional aesthetic

Body Contouring and Intimacy
Most people know about popular kinds of cosmetic surgery that target the facial features and the body. Only few are aware of the non-invasive alternatives for treatments of body and face.
We know that people are concerned about their overall appearance, and this means that any unattractive or unusual aspect of an individual’s appearance in his own eyes, whether it’s on the face or anywhere, can have negative consequences on his self image. A recent medical study entitled “Better sex from the knife? An intimate look at the effects of cosmetic surgery on sexual practices1” published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal a medical peer reviewed publication, reported the results of a study focusing on the effects of body contouring on intimacy and sexual relationships.
In the study all the respondents were women, with a mean age of 38 years.
• More than 95% of respondents reported improvements in body image.
• Eighty percent of breast augmentation respondents and 50% of body surgery respondents declared improvements in sexual satisfaction.
• Fifty percent of breast and 60% of body respondents had changed to more provocative attire.
• Approximately 70% of the breast and body group testified that their partner’s sex life had been enhanced.
• More than 30% of breast patients and 50% of body patients reported an enhanced ability to achieve orgasm.
For some people, the only realistic or effective option for dealing with these issues is cosmetic surgery.
Surgical procedures of any sort always involve certain risks, as well as the necessity of significant recovery time.
In the last 10 years various non-invasive and non surgical treatments modalities have been developed for aging skin and body contouring. The gold standard technology emerging after the laser is radiofrequency (RF) treatments.
RF energy is a form of electromagnetic energy safe and effective for all skin colors and types. When applied to human skin tissues, rapidly oscillating electromagnetic fields cause movement of charged particles (electrons) within the skin tissue and the resultant electrical current generates internal heat proportional to the skin tissue electrical resistance. This source of heat has been extensively used in the past decades for surgery, hemostasis and tissue ablation. In recent years it has been applied as a means of shrinking redundant or lax connective tissues through the mechanism of collagen denaturation.
TriPollar RF technology is the 3rd generation in RF system and have undergone extensive clinical trials and has been the subject of peer-reviewed professional publications.
Clinical trials with TriPollar™ RF technology demonstrated:
Reduced Tummy circumference by up to 9 cm
Reduced Thigh circumference by up to 7 cm
Immediate Face lifting
Immediate reduction of Facial wrinkles and contours
Significant reduction of “double” Chin
Skin tightening after Liposuction
Tightening and fat reduction in Tummy after pregnancy
Improving texture and tightness of back-of-the-hand skin
Reduction of stretch marks and cellulite
Tightening of sagging skin: Before & After 6 weeks

Winter and your aging skin
We all know that we need to protect our skin from aging and getting wrinkles in the summer (and winter too) from the harmful effects of UV. But most people are not aware of the special need to nourish the ageing skin in the winter. Don’t fool your self thinking that the air is moist when it is raining. Winter is a season that is tough on your skin. Cool, dry conditions leave your hands and feet prone to painful cracks, splits and chapping. The dryness will also enhance the appearance of wrinkles you are working so hard to cure by using the best anti-aging skin care.
So what can you do to protect your ageing skin from the winter dryness?:
• Continue to use your anti aging products on a regular basis
• Drink plenty of water (yes those 8 glasses of water are important in the winter too)
• Use mild soaps – Harsh detergents and soaps will rob your skin of moisture and natural protection.
• Avoid those long hot baths…yes I love them too. It is better to take short warm showers. Long hot showers or baths will deplete your skin aging of essential oils and will increase skin dehydration.
• Apply the best anti aging moisturizer to your skin while it is slightly damp.
• Use a humidifier to add some moisture to heated rooms.
• Do not forget the sun block… (in the winter too)
Protecting our skin from aging process is essential but not satisfactory. You can also assist and prevent your skin from ageing by using the TriPollar STOP, which helps to postpone and reverse the signs of age. Using TriPollar STOP allows you to enjoy the beauty of your skin at the comfort of your home, treating wrinkles that were caused by aging, sun exposure, and other environmental aggressors.
TriPollar STOP is a self-administered clinical treatment, which should be used 2-3 times a week for 12-15 minutes each time. After 6-8 weeks you will be able to see significant reduction in facial wrinkles and fine lines, significant anti-aging results, and lifting of the facial skin.
