Summer Holiday Pampering At Transform's Leeds Clinic

All attendees will be entered into a prize draw to win £300 worth of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, just in time for some pre-holiday pampering. Other discounts, special offers and prizes available exclusively on the night will include a £70 voucher for laser hair removal and vouchers for 15% off the cost of non-surgical treatments.

In addition to these exclusive one-time-only offers, the Leeds clinic will also be hosting demonstrations of the latest, most effective techniques to refresh, plump and improve the skin. Practitioners from the clinic will demonstrate several skin treatments, including dermal fillers and popular anti-ageing injections. Other newly launched treatments include Laser Hair Removal and Dermaroller, designed to fade stretch marks and give you the confidence to hit the beach in style.

The summer season quite often means baring more flesh than usual, but not everyone feels comfortable and confident doing so. Our open event is a great opportunity for local ladies and gents to get professional tips and advice in a relaxed environment.”

Dieting Gets a Makeover

Leave a comment

It is time to shine a light on what makes the difference for successful dieting. It is not the diet that matters most. What really counts is paying attention to the psychological side of things.

The new look of dieting is painted into a novel of passionate weight loss called Breaking Up With Food: Maria’s Last Diet. The authors, Julie North Schwarz and Kenneth Schwarz PhD are also the creators of the women’s website, MariasLastDiet.com. The website is a wealth of information about the psychological issues that all too often stand in the way of weight loss.

Breaking Up With Food is a self-help book that pulls the reader deep into a psychological milieu. Maria’s weight-loss journey is a story of suspense, mystery, daring, and victory. It begins with an unintended look in the mirror, and ends in triumph when Maria reaches her goal weight at last.

Breaking Up With Food is fiction, but there’s a real story behind it. It’s a story for any woman who has trouble dieting. It’s for those who can’t stay on a diet; it’s for those who stay on but at some point gain it all back. It’s for those who keep trying and failing; it’s for those who keep dreaming about losing weight; it’s for those who have given up the dream and want it back.

Dr. Schwarz, a psychologist and psychoanalyst, puts it this way: “ This book is meant to inspire and encourage every woman who is still struggling with her weight. It is not, by any means, a rigid set of rules. Instead, reading the book is an uplifting experience. It’s like when you pick a flower, you don’t need to stop and think, this is the stamen, these are the petals, this is the reaction with the sun that makes it this color—no. You pick the flower, it’s beautiful, it gets inside of you, it makes a difference in your life. That’s what Maria’s story is like.”

The Harley Medical Group Reports World Cup Widows Plump For Jabs

Leave a comment

The Harley Medical Group is reporting that as the 2010 World Cup kicks off, many of its 29 UK clinics will be at ‘full capacity’ with non-surgical treatment bookings up 25% on the England match dates.

While many male footie fanatics have scheduled time off work to watch the first round of games in June, women across the country are making the most of the free time and booking rejuvenating peels and wrinkle relaxing injectables.

Keen to not to have any distractions this summer men are openly encouraging girlfriends and wives to spend more ‘me’ time, with pampering sessions and girls-only days out.

Liz Dale, Director, The Harley Medical Group, commented, “During the World Cup four years ago, we noticed a peak in female dominated treatments. This year the trend continues with enquiries for June up 48% compared to this time in 2006, which reflects the cumulative growth we’ve seen in non-surgical treatments overall. Women know they won’t be getting much attention from their husband or boyfriend while the football is on so this is the perfect feel-good factor treat.”

“Unsurprisingly we’re also expecting cosmetic surgery bookings for men to be down slightly – around 10% – in June for the first time in 20 months.”

Individualized Drug Rehab Model Results In Greater Addiction Recovery Rates

Leave a comment

For every industry, change is inevitable. Within the medical and addiction treatment field, not only is change inevitable and expected, but it is also necessary in order to provide the best possible treatment and outcomes for patients.

One drug rehab in New England has been dedicated to providing cutting-edge treatment options for individuals suffering from addiction by utilizing current accepted methods of treatment and combining them with more non-traditional approaches, resulting in individualized drug addiction treatment options for its patients.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has long been regarded as the model for addiction treatment centers worldwide. From its beginnings, Mountainside has complimented its core treatment offerings with other non-traditional forms of addiction therapy. By doing so, they were among the first to offer true, comprehensive drug addiction treatment that is uniquely created for each individual seeking help.

“When we first began our program, we weren’t seeking to do something different simply for the sake of being different,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Our goal has been, and always will be, to offer the most effective treatment program for those suffering from various types of addictions. And, based on empirical data, we’ve found that the best way to accomplish this is through individualized treatment options. It’s common knowledge that if an individual doesn’t need physical symptom management, their treatment plan won’t include it. But, suppose Yoga or Tai Chi isn’t something that is a good fit for a person? Should we force those things on them simply because it’s one of our treatment options? The answer is a resounding: no. Including something in a treatment plan simply because it is available would be counterproductive to what we’re accomplishing, and that is: better than average long term sobriety success rates.”

For more than 12 years, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering an individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment program.

Utah Drug Rehabs Producing Incredible Recovery Rates With Groundbreaking New Techniques

Leave a comment

Several Utah Drug Rehabs are gaining recognition for producing amazingly high success rates. The long lasting recovery is attributed to the techniques used at the facilities. Gone are the days when a 12 step approach was the extent of quality drug rehab. Many rehabilitation centers in Utah now use innovative approaches, such as holistic rehab combined with a spiritual pathway to recovery. Sites like Drug-Rehab.org can help persons seeking such progressive care find rehabs in Utah offering these groundbreaking new techniques.

Several Utah drug rehabs are raising the bar for best practices. By incorporating such approaches as holistic rehab and spiritual tracks with long proven techniques, these centers are producing incredible recovery rates. In years gone by, although some types of addiction received individualized approaches, most were routinely approached with the 12 step technique. This technique is superb but when combined with newer approaches the results are outrageously successful. Finding rehabs in Utah offering such ‘new age’ approaches can be simplified with the referral and placement service at Drug-Rehab.org.

This website can be used to locate progressive rehabilitation centers in Utah and other areas. Drug abuse and addiction is a growing problem across the nation. The reality is that professional help is needed in order to find lasting recovery. And oftentimes it is a family member or other loved one that takes on the responsibility of finding a quality rehab center. Frequently, when the decision to seek help is made, the addict has already suffered numerous losses. Not only is he/she suffering with the addiction, but chances are that relationships are troubled and financial concerns may be overwhelming. There may even be legal issues that have to be dealt with.

Holistic San Jose Drug Rehab Treatment is #1 Rehab Referral in California

Countless San Jose Drug Rehab centers are now offering a holistic approach to rehabilitation. This type of treatment program is comprehensive in nature as it addresses mind, body and spirit. This approach is quickly becoming the preferred rehab referral in all of California. Holistic drug rehab San Francisco style frequently includes treatment for addictions to prescription medications. This can entail the need for detoxification followed by therapy and an educational process that explores the course of the drug use. As new discoveries are made about the drug problem the treatment is modified to address those needs.

June, 2010 – San Jose Drug Rehab treatment facilities are among others across the state of California that are embracing the holistic approach to rehabilitation. This treatment strategy involves providing a comprehensive approach to care. Because all facets of a person’s life are affected by a drug addiction it is important that treatment used is all inclusive. Another aspect of this type of treatment is the willingness of the providers to be innovative and allow clients to have choices concerning their care. Treatment plans must be flexible, allowing for personalization as needed. The success of this methodology has resulted in it being the top rehab referral in leading facilities throughout California. Drug-Rehab.org is a referral and placement center frequently used to find these superior rehabilitation centers.

Although drug addictions are escalating across the nation, the truth is that some areas experience addictions of certain types more frequently than others. Street drugs may be the major culprit in one city but prescription drug addictions may be the primary problem in another. Addictions are not restricted to any one class or age of people. Although the type of addiction and addiction journey may be different, the end result is a person in need of quality help.

Various rehabilitation centers have developed treatments that address areas of special concern. Progressive drug treatment centers work diligently to find innovative ways to address the needs of their clients. This often includes a combination of techniques that have been tested and proven successful. San Jose Drug Rehab is frequently based on a holistic approach that allows clients the freedom to choose different pathways to recovery. In San Francisco, the success with the holistic approach to treatment is frequently used in combination with a 12 step approach. This has led to the strategy sometimes being called ‘drug rehab San Francisco style’.

Highly Effective Evidenced-Based Drug Rehab Garners Attention In New England

Within the medical field, it is commonplace to determine the effectiveness of a methodology or treatment by gaining empirical evidence via theory in practice. One particular drug rehab facility has dedicated the past 12 years to refining their treatment program to produce the most optimal outcomes for their clients.

Since their beginning over a decade ago, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has been providing their patients with the most cutting-edge, effective drug addiction treatment program available. Recently, their decade-long body of work has culminated in their latest treatment model which has been trademarked and termed as the Integrated Care Model.

Often times, drug rehab programs simply focus on symptom management of an individual’s addiction. Rarely are treatment programs concerned with all aspects of an individual, from physical symptom management, to spiritual aspects as well as any social issues that may arise due to the addiction.

“When we first began our program, we realized that, in order to maximize the chances for successful recovery, we must address all of the facets of an individual instead of merely offering symptom management,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Most addicted individuals are disconnected from reality and out of touch with themselves. We take them through the process of individualizing a treatment plan specifically for them which addresses their complete needs. As a result, we are able to get people fully engaged in their recoveries. And, when a person is truly, fully invested in becoming well, the chance for successful, long-term sobriety skyrockets.”

While core tenets of traditional drug addiction treatment are observed, Mountainside offers its clients a long list of treatment initiatives which are designed to appeal to a variety of different people from a variety of different backgrounds. As such, individuals are given what they need to become released from the powerful grip of drug and alcohol addiction.

Switch Off Social Networking Regularly To Avoid Compounding Loneliness, Says Health Insurance Comparison Site Quoteboffin.co.uk

As increases in technology see the UK becoming ever more switched on to personal computers, online communication and social networking, a new report has appeared claiming that Britain is suffering from an epidemic of loneliness.

The report, from the Mental Health Foundation, found that more than one in ten British people often feel lonely and that many work long hours, live alone and socialise online rather than seeing friends and family in the flesh.

More than 2,200 adults were questioned for the study and it was found that while adults of all ages seemed to be being affected by loneliness, women tended to suffer from the feeling more than men.

Some have blamed the growth of social networking sites as a potential cause for this epidemic of loneliness and health insurance comparison site Quoteboffin.co.uk says that, like most pleasures, social networking sites are best enjoyed in moderation. A spokesperson for the company explained:

“While this is distressing news, we think that it’s important for people to take a long look at all aspects of their life and not just the amount of time they spend on social networks, if they are suffering from loneliness.

“Socialising online can be a positive experience for many people, so it’s important to identify all of the areas which could be a problem – including working long or unsociable hours – and addressing these. The most crucial thing to remember about social networking, is that it should be being enjoyed in moderation.”

It was found that more women than men claimed to be suffering from loneliness (47 per cent), but the number of men suffering was also significant (36 per cent) and almost one in five respondents said that they spend too much time communicating with friends and family online rather than in person.

However, the report suggested that it is too early to be able to determine whether technology is changing the way that people interact with each other in real life. It did find that online interaction is no substitute for the real thing though.

While loneliness is sometimes perceived as a mild form of mental discomfort, chronic loneliness can have a number of other effects on health – from unhealthy lifestyles to mental health problems like depression, alcohol or drug abuse and eating disorders.

Quoteboffin.co.uk added: “Loneliness is certainly a natural emotion, however it is when loneliness becomes excessive that it becomes a real problem – and this is when the threats to well-being start to multiply.

“From serious mental health issues to lifestyle changes that can damage physical health and push up health insurance premiums, loneliness could be at the root of many other problems – so people should make sure they heed warning signs and ensure they have a strong networks of support offline as well as online.”

Unique Approach To Drug Rehab Treatment Provides Optimum Chance For Success

The traditional methods of drug addiction treatment are being re-vamped and enhanced by drug rehabs worldwide. In an effort to provide the optimum chance for lifelong sobriety, many treatment programs have been expanding their current offerings to include what some may consider non-traditional drug rehab therapies.

While more traditional methodologies are still very much in use, their effectiveness has been augmented with the addition of what is termed holistic drug rehab treatment – that is, viewing the addicted individual’s needs as a whole, instead of “in parts”.

The pioneering of such methods began over 12 years ago at Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center located in Canaan , Connecticut . Through advanced research, via theory in practice, they have created a program that offers a variety of different drug addiction treatment options that are personalized, depending on an individual’s needs. As a result of their research and expanded treatment program, Mountainside has become the leader in effective drug rehab treatment worldwide and is viewed by treatment officials as providing the new and most effective standard for care.

Treatment-Centers.net Provides A Simplified Way To Locate Alcohol Treatment Facilities

Finding and selecting a center that provides an alcohol treatment program that is agreeable to the potential client is vital to a successful recovery. Countless studies have shown that the more comfortable a client is with a rehab facility, the treatment program and event the treatment professionals, the more likely he or she is to ‘buy into’ the treatment. Obviously, if a client is not comfortable or does not approve of the alcohol rehabilitation methods or approach used by an alcohol treatment center he or she is less likely to ‘work’ the program. This demonstrates just how important it is that potential clients or those helping them learn all they can before selecting a rehab center.

Treatment-Centers.net Takes The Work Out Of Finding Quality Drug Treatments

Treatment-Centers.net offers a way to simplify finding ideal alcohol and drug treatments. The fact is that when a person finds himself in need of a quality drug treatment center he is often in distress and the need is urgent. This is actually a critical point because once the decision to seek or accept help has been made; there is only a short period of time in which the window of opportunity remains open. And at such a frenzied time the feelings of stress and desperation are enormous. This situation is even more intense if an addiction intervention has taken place.

Statistics and countless studies have proven that the client’s level of comfort with his or her chosen drug treatment center has a direct bearing on how successful the treatment will be. Clearly, selecting a program that meets with one’s personal needs and preferences is vitally important to his/her recovery. But until recently, unless one was in certain professions, it was almost impossible to learn about the various techniques used in drug treatments. That is, until or unless one had the information forced upon him or her due to a personal need or that of a loved one.

Treatment-Centers.net provides information related to various alcohol and Drug Treatments and a complete directory of rehab centers.

The directory is as valued by treatment facilities and professionals as it is needed by the public at large. This comprehensive resource helps to end the mysteries that commonly surround alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

The information offered at the site is straightforward and unbiased. Treatment-Centers.net is not affiliated with any specific treatment center or professional. In fact, inclusion in the directory is free. Being included in the directory at Treatment-Centers.net can help to establish a treatment facility’s name recognition as well as offer huge link value.

Treatment-Centers.net was developed in order to provide a public service.

The Harley Medical Group Sees A Boom For Bigger Breasts

According the Harley Medical Group in Dublin, breast augmentation is again the fastest growing sector of cosmetic surgery with a positive increase on last years enquiries of over 37%. The latest data from The Harley Medical Group accounted for 27 of all procedures undertaken by the group in the last 12 months.

A large part of this increase has been attributed to a desire by women who have just given birth to get back into their original shape, or better, as soon as possible after giving birth. Post-baby surgery currently accounts for an estimated 75% of all Breast Uplifts (mastopexy) at the Harley Medical Group and Irish attitudes have changed dramatically as women are now happy to talk about their Surgery and show off their new found confidence.

Breast augmentation is the third most common type of post-natal procedure with mums making up 60% of patients. The shape and position of breasts as well as the overall body figure can change considerably after giving birth and so many mums opt to get breast enlargements to suit their new body shape.

The Harley Medical Clinic has over 27 years experience in cosmetic surgery and prides itself on the beautiful natural results it achieves. The highly qualified surgeons are there before, during and throughout the aftercare following the procedure.

A Breast Augmentation operation is normally performed under a General Anesthetic and takes approximately 1–1.5 hours. The average cost for breast augmentation is €6,610.

European Obesity Day 2010 Is Welcomed By Life Insurance Comparison Site Quoteboffin.co.uk

The 2010 European Obesity Day took place on Saturday May 22, and it is hoped that the campaign will raise the profile of the potentially life-threatening condition. As the first awareness day of its kind, life insurance site Quoteboffin.co.uk welcomed the event and is optimistic that it will help in the fight to reduce the problems associated with obesity in Europe.

One of the campaign’s central goals is to help the 50 per cent of Europeans who are overweight to shed 5 to 10 per cent of their body weight and cut obesity rates across 15 countries.

While the term obesity has become a well known one in the UK it is not in such common usage in other European countries, and it is hoped that the new awareness day will help countries increase public knowledge before the problem becomes rife. Among those participating are a high number of Eastern European countries, including Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary and Latvia.

A spokesperson for Quoteboffin.co.uk voiced the company’s support for the campaign, saying that it represents a positive step forward when it comes to spreading the word about obesity and its dangers. They added: “Most people in the UK are aware of the problems that can be caused by obesity, but campaigns like this act as a great way for countries to share knowledge.

“What’s more, it’s important for people not to become complacent about things such as obesity. The fact that the term has become common knowledge in the UK means people could be in danger of accepting it as normal, whereas obesity remains a big threat to health.”

Utah Drug Rehabilitation Uses Holistic Treatment to Produce Long Term Recovery

Everyday numerous cases of drug addiction in Utah are reported by the police. As a result, Utah drug rehabs work round-the-clock to bestow the best treatment possible for drug addicts. They offer different treatment sessions to choose from in order to meet the needs of each patient. The concern of the rehab centers is not only for the patient but also for his family and the people around him.

Regardless of its family-oriented reputation, Utah is no stranger to drug addiction. Every month on average, ten Utah residents lose their lives to illegal drug overdose. This is one of the reasons why Utah drug rehabilitation centers have opened their doors wide to all people suffering from drug addiction. The goal of these centers is to create a drug-free productive life for every patient. The most successful full-service drug rehab in Utah addresses areas of health, nutrition and detoxification. They also offer a drug-free approach, which is proven and very effective at helping a person overcome his addiction once and for all without transferring to “legal” prescription drug addiction.

Treatment is a group effort. It involves participation from caring family members, treatment professionals, and former sufferers of drug addiction. One of the most important things to consider when treating a substance abuser is to know the reason for his addiction. That is the first answer sought out by counselors providing drug rehab in Utah. To have the most effective treatment, drug rehabs assess and determine what process would work best for an individual based on the specific drug and behaviors exhibited in each case. Counseling plays a big role on the entire treatment of a drug addict because the counselor will be able to note the progression of his patient and determine if a certain treatment is working or if it should be changed. Group therapy sessions are as essential as one-on-one counseling, as each patient will be able to learn from the group’s discussion and realize that they are not alone in the journey to a new beginning.

Relief from an addiction might be the best feeling for a former drug addict. He has not only saved his body from the potentially fatal effects of drug abuse, but he has also made the life-changing choice. This is what utah drug rehabs hope to instill in each of the patients. Every time they welcome a new patient, they don’t see “a person to be treated” but instead, they see “a wonderful life taking shape”. The treatments they do are not for self-profit but for the patients to gain strength in facing the new chapter of their lives.
