THERMAGE
Thermage is the first non-invasive procedure that delivers tightened tissue, renewed facial contours and healthier collagen via radio frequency technology. For further information on Thermage go to www.thermage-treatment.co.uk or email info@thermage-treatment.co.uk
Always consult a professional before undergoing any skin treatments. For more information please visit www.bad.org.uk
Other non - invasive skin treatments include:
Intense pulsed light (IPL) rejuvenation (photofacial or photorejuvenation)
Also sometimes known as a flash lamp, IPL systems work by being absorbed by the skin surface abnormalities and also by the superficial thread veins and normal veins in the skin. This process releases growth factors that produce new collagen. It is also thought that they work by heating the skin below the surface, again to produce more collagen by stimulating the cells called fibroblasts.
Blood Vessel Lasers as Non-ablative Rejuvenating Systems
The blood vessel pulsed dye lasers developed to treat port-wine birthmarks and thread veins have also been used successfully in skin rejuvenation, particularly for fair skin with spider veins or background redness.
It is thought that the blood vessel lasers act in a rejuvenating capacity by causing a slight injury to the blood vessels in the skin, which then respond by releasing growth factors that stimulate the fibroblast cells in the dermis to produce new collagen.

TUMMY TUB
A baby bath that can calm a screaming child in seconds is being hailed as a breakthrough by childcare experts.
Infants sit upright in the £20 Tummy Tub, which is designed to mimic the experience of being in the womb. Whilst making bath time enjoyable from birth; its design ensures that babies adopt and relax in the familiar and natural foetal position.
Devotees say that it calms down their babies and soothes colic - and some even believe that the water's buoyancy encourages their babies to become early walkers.
For further information, take a look here.
An alternative to the Tummy Tub is the Shantala Bucket Bath, available from Baby Tec.

BABY BLISS is published by Penguin - Full details are on our Books Page
Dr Harvey Karp's Five 'S's discussed on the show were:
Swaddling:
This is the ‘cornerstone’ of calming your baby. It does not trigger the calming reflex, but it stops your baby thrashing around and over stimulating itself – the baby won’t also accidentally upset itself. It also reminds the baby of the confinement sensation it felt when it was in the womb and as a result the baby feels protected and safe, as though it’s back home. However, it’s the next S that initiates the calming reflex.
Side/stomach wrap:
This is not a sleeping position. This position is to calm the baby as it reminds it of being in the womb. The baby should be put on one side, shoulders just slightly down, after it’s been wrapped.
Shushing:
Dr Karp explains that like the sound of the wind is calming, this is the same sensation for a baby. As the baby is wrapped up and on it’s side, the ‘shushing’ sound made by the parents lets the baby know that everything is all right. It also reminds the baby of the noise inside the uterus when the blood surges through the arteries. Whilst the noise can also come from a hairdryer or even washing machine, the important factor is that the noise is loud enough for the baby to hear. Whilst it may sound rude or quite aggressive, the noise needs to be as loud as the baby’s cry. For some babies, this is not enough to calm them down, so you add the fourth S – swinging.
Swinging/ jigging movement:
Like the gigging sensation the baby feels in the womb, babies love this movement. If the shushing noise doesn’t work, the aim is to rock the baby’s head in small moves rather than big ones. The baby begins to relax. It’s important not to shake the baby, as this would cause immense damage to the child. Dr Karp explains that the movement is more of a shiver.
Sucking:
As the fifth S this is the icing on the cake, if the other four S’s haven’t been enough. Whilst sucking on the mother’s breast is the most powerful of calming a baby, it is also possible to offer a finger or dummy as an alternative, although some babies need to be trained in this area. If a baby doesn’t take to a dummy, then the best thing to do is try and pull it from it’s mouth. This way the baby automatically sucks harder on it as it thinks it’s about to lose it - reverse psychology.
