Permanent Cosmetic Convention in Atlantic City Focuses on Technician Education and Safe Protocols
Permanent Cosmetics is a largely unregulated field, with little or no formal standards or licensing. Consumer questions abound on the safety and quality of treatments and how to gauge a technician's qualifications. As more and more woman discover permanent cosmetics, the most common question is, "Are You licensed?"
Often they are told, "Yes" or "I am certified." Truth be told, almost no one is, because few states offer or require
licensing or education before performing permanent cosmetic application.
Many individuals in the field are concerned about setting standards, such as Roxanne Zarafonetis, CNMT, PA who is a Johns Hopkins Hospital trained Nuclear Medicine Technologist who entered the field of permanent cosmetics 15 years ago before todays' unregulated
"certification" schools, and allergic pigments were on the scene.In an effort to help set allied health compatible standards, Ms. Zarafonetis has acted as an advisor to the Board of Cosmetology and The Higher Education Commission in her home state of Maryland on Permanent Cosmetic issues.
Over her
years in the field, she has found that most clients are very concerned about the lack of standards and credentials. This led Ms. Zarafonetis to open one of the first dedicated Permanent Cosmetic Schools in the USA to gain state approval by a Higher Education Board. The Lasting Effects TM Permanent Cosmetic Institute is founded on traditional tattoo manufacturer research and paramedical protocols for application. Because those working in the field have few opportunities for professional meetings on the East Coast, she is hosting Permatasia 2005- Permanent Cosmetic Convention in Atlantic City, May 25, 26, 2005.
Permatasia 2005 continues their tradition of offering education, workshops, lectures and demos for Permanent Cosmetic Technicians with the theme- "Explore the Possibilities." Subjects include scientific information on
equipment, topicals
and treatments, sterilization of equipment and safe application protocols with advanced workshops in basic scar coverup for vitiligo, surgery scars and breast cancer reconstruction.
The Permatasia Convention is dedicated to gathering and dispensing information on the art, science and allied health aspects of Permanent Cosmetics and Scar Restoration.
The convention theme of "Explore the Possibilities is aimed at expanding the vision of Permanent Cosmetic Technicians to consider offering the much needed skills of scar cover-up treatments in their own communities. PC-MEDS- the Permanent Cosmetic Medical, Educational & Development Society will offer a voluntary Board Exam at the convention and is dedicated to setting safe standards, ethical practice
and consumer protection.

The Swan on the Chopping Block
When Anderson wrote "The Ugly Duckling", he was imagining a natural transformation from awkward youth to mature beauty.
His vision did not include a meat cleaver.
The new network show, "The Swan" is a travesty on so many levels that it is difficult to know where to begin.
There is nothing wrong with using cosmetic surgery to correct a definitive flaw but to turn yourself over to megalomaniacs with scalpels is cause for more therapy than these women are receiving.
It is unconscionable that television should even consider anything so potentially damaging.
However, the women who allow themselves to be the golden goose (to mix metaphors) are equally to blame.
What sane women would with good conscience turn herself over to strangers without having any input into what is being done. The Swan reflects society's superficial attitude towards cosmetic surgery as a cure all for everything from natural aging to an unhealthy lifestyle.

Hernia surgery is a very simple surgery that succeeds in almost all cases. But doctors recommend parents not to delay their child's operation because some complications can appear in this situation. Next follow some useful facts about the surgery.
The operation lasts for about one hour and the child can return home the same day the surgery was performed. Overall the child must spend around five hours in the hospital, but if any complications appear at least one day of medical supervision is required.
No visible scars will remain on the child's skin because all the work is done under the skin. Also there are no stitches that need removing but there is going to be a covering tape over the incision, but it will fall or it can be removed after a few days from the surgery.
In some cases dried blood gathers under the tape but that will also be gone.
