Birth Control Pills and Fertility Treatment
Different types of birth control methods allow couples to minimize the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy. Birth control pills discourage conception in several ways, depending on the hormonal ingredients. Although fertility normally returns shortly after stopping the pill, some women may experience difficulty getting pregnant. In some instances, infertility treatments increase the chances of conception.
Crow’s Feet Treatments
Although everybody eventually gets them, wrinkles aren’t something most people look forward to developing. As you age, the thin skin around your eyes tends to lose its elasticity. Sun exposure and repeated movements such as squinting and smiling can increase your risk of developing crow’s feet, the small creases that form horizontal lines near the outside of your eyes. Certain topical and medical treatments may help reduce the appearance of your crow’s feet.
Oily Hair Treatment
Oily or greasy hair often looks wet, flat and stringy, and can ruin an otherwise clean, well-kept, personal appearance. Overactive scalp sebum, which comes from sebaceous glands just under the scalp, produces the oily hair look. Sebum normally gives hair its shiny, soft glow, but too much of it may leave your hair greasy. Treatments for oily hair maintain healthy locks that present a polished look.
Coarse Hair Treatment
The thickness of the hair cuticle, which is the outer layer of your hair, determines how fine or coarse each strand of hair appears. While coarse hair may appear thicker and fuller than fine hair, it can also be difficult to style and keep healthy. Both chemical and topical treatments can help tame and enhance your coarse hair.
Prescription Wrinkle Treatment
Laugh lines, frown lines, crows feet, glabellar lines — they are all facial wrinkles that are common to both men and women. Women, unfortunately, tend to get more and deeper wrinkles around the mouth than men do, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. A wide variety of products claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles visibly, but the effectiveness of over-the-counter medications is limited, due to the minimal amounts of active ingredients. Effective wrinkle treatment usually requires a prescription.
