Tired of looking in the mirror and seeing what you see? Do you think your nose is too big, your wrinkles too deep, your jowls are sagging? Thousands of patients today are looking for minimally invasive procedures that can repair skin damage caused by aging. Multitudes of men and women benefit from noninvasive treatments that help them feel more confident. If you’re diagnosed with a skin condition or damage that causes sagging skin, wrinkles, or age spots, you have affordable options.

Did you know that the latest stem cell treatments, human growth hormone or stem cell therapies and approaches and ongoing stem cell therapy research focused on anti-aging fields has created huge interest around the world? And with good reason. Technologies like stem cell gene therapy and adult stem cell therapy and even cord blood stem cell therapy, researchers and doctors around the world can now offer alternative treatments to surgery for cosmetic anti-aging purposes.

If you’re not interested in stem cell therapy, consider fat transfer. Fat transfer medical procedures help to effectively ‘plump’ tissues and skin in areas that have lost elasticity and smoothness caused by general aging. Fat transfers remove fat from other areas of the body and inject them into areas in the face. This helps reduce or eliminate signs of sunken skin and loss of skin elasticity.

Both fat transfer and micro fat transfer procedures are used in facial rejuvenation techniques during eyelid surgery and some facelifts.  The technique helps soften bony areas and reduces depth of lines and wrinkles.

Explore your options for the latest in antiaging techniques and facilities abroad at PlacidWay.com, your leading medical provider and resource for medical travel abroad.

Have you heard of Da Vinci? No, not the famous painter, but the famous, high-tech robotic surgical equipment. If you haven’t, you’re in for an eye-opening surprise. Robotic surgery offers several forms of robotic equipment, such as robotic-assisted laparoscopic, endoscopic, and thoracoscopy surgical procedures. Robotic surgery involves a combination of computer-assisted technologies with the finest and newest surgical tools. The method offers access to different areas of the body through the use of special scopes and equipment. This equipment is NOT totally controlled by a robot, but by specially trained surgeons who use a monitor and hand attachments in the operating room.

Da Vinci robotic surgery makes use of computerized medical technologies and robotics that literally mimic hand movements of a surgeon through the use of robotic arms and instruments. This enables surgeons to provide extremely precise and fine movements in surgical capabilities. Today, Da Vinci robotic surgery is used for:

• Cardiovascular surgery
• Gynecology
• Endocrine surgery
• Urology
• General surgery

Where do you find Da Vinci? More fine hospitals around the world are taking advantage of robotic surgery, including the U.S., Great Britain and Australia, as well as countries like Turkey, Jordan and locations throughout Southeast Asia.

Da Vinci robotic surgery offers huge benefits to patients undergoing surgical procedures; less blood loss, pain, and scarring. The method offers most patients shorter recovery and recuperation and reduces risk of infection and complications.

For more information regarding Da Vinci robotic surgery, and where you can find it abroad, visit PlacidWay.com, a leading medical resource and provider based in Denver, Colorado.

When you think of surgery, what’s the first thought that comes into your mind? Sure, long incisions, huge, puckered scars, pain and perhaps a long recuperation until you regain full use of your arms and legs or are able to bend, twist or sit without discomfort.

Today, those thoughts are more than outdated.  Today, non-invasive surgery is preferred, in nearly all surgical fields, including cardiac surgery, general surgery and in bariatric and obesity treatments, just to name a few.

Laparoscopic surgery or endoscopic surgery techniques enable surgeons to operate without huge incisions and tissue damage. Healing processes are faster. This type of surgery reduces pain, and risk of infection and bleeding.

What types of surgery use laparoscopic techniques? Here are just a few: gallbladder surgery, liver surgery, small bowel, or other soft tissue organ surgical procedures. Popular laparoscopic procedures for bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, adjustable band, and duodenal switch surgeries. Laparoscopic surgery reduces complications after weight loss surgery. Laparoscopic procedures for the gallbladder and liver include bile duct exploration, bile duct injury, liver resection, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Find the best of care, expertise and excellence in laparoscopic surgery and specialists in international destinations like Mexico, Jordan, Turkey and Asia, whether you need knee surgery or tumor removal. Also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS), laparoscopic surgery enables a surgeon to operates on patients by viewing a monitor and manipulating his or her instruments without actually accessing the specific organ or tissue.

Do you want a baby and are having difficulty conceiving? Thinking about fertility treatments? You have plenty of options, and not all of them have to be outrageously expensive, as they are in the U.S. Add to that the problem that many health care insurance companies do not reimburse for fertility treatment expenses, and you may feel as if there’s no hope for your dreams of building a family. Fertility treatment abroad in locations like Thailand, Turkey, India and Mexico is affordable.

However, a number of fertility treatments abroad may provide the answer you’re looking for. Facilities in Argentina offer several  IVF methods and treatments, while several fertility clinics in Turkey specialize in IVF, ICSI, PGD, IVM and Ovarian Cortex Freezing methods. Specialists in laparoscopic surgery for  conditions that might reduce your fertility levels can be found in Jordan.

Get to know your fertility terminology, to help you find the right provider and right treatment for your needs. For example, intrauterine insemination (IUI) is also known as artificial insemination.  This method requires women to take fertility drugs to stimulate multiple egg development.  The insemination part involves the insertion of sperm from the male partner into the uterus.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a technique to assist reproduction. This occurs when a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm are ‘united’ in a laboratory dish. After fertilization, the embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a common fertility treatment for couples dealing with low sperm count or poor sperm quality. Sperm is injected directly into a mature egg.

Know your options. Explore your opportunities.

These facilities offer patients top-notch care, and the physicians at the centers have years of experience and research to offer patients, just as they do in the United States. Innovative technology and research is being conducted in the Ukraine. There, stem cells are being used to treat the following conditions:

• Joint diseases
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Craniocerebral traumas
• Rehabilitation after chemotherapy
• Pancreatic diabetes

Stem cells, while beneficial in treating diseases, are also being used in cosmetic procedures, including:

• Cosmetology with placenta extract application

Thanks to technology, an electronic medical record makes it easier to share and transfer medical information between physicians in your country as well as foreign medical providers. This capability makes medical tourism easier than ever. Why change from paper to electronic records? For several reasons. First, to save on administration costs in tracking and filing sometimes-massive amounts of paper accumulated for patients.

Not only that, but electronic records increase speed and efficiency in health care delivery options. Electronic records can be accesses through secure passwords, fingerprints and voice-activated software that increase use of telemetry, an increasingly popular mode of communication between physicians. Your doctor in the U.K. can talk directly with and share data-secured medical information from your health record to a cancer specialist in India, Turkey or the U.S. in a matter of moments.

You worry about confidentiality, but electronic medical records are safer and more secure than your paper record. Computer and IT technology only gives direct access to your medical record to those qualified to view and share your information. Identification systems ensure security and sharing systems ensure your confidentiality. Instead of faxing your information to another doctor or medical provider, for all to see, your private information is transmitted through a secure hospital system network right into the hands of the doctor who needs it and no one else.

As more people travel across borders for health and wellness, cancer therapy, orthopedic surgery, dental care and cosmetic surgery or fertility treatments, ease of transfer of information improves and benefits your care.

Stefan is a native male Bulgarian who sought expert and qualified care after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He underwent care in his native Bulgaria, and two surgeries, which left him in a wheelchair and unable to talk or move his arms or legs. Seeking more specialized treatment, Stefan traveled to the Anadolu Medical Center in Turkey. Following his care there, he was able to once again walk and talk.

“We had already heard that this pace employed experienced specialists and used state-of-the-art technology. However, we could never have imagined what we saw. This truly is somewhere different. Yesterday, the Anadolu Medical Center Managing Director came to visit me in my room. I would have never seen such attention in any hospital in Bulgaria,” writes Stefan of his experiences at Anadolu.

Anadolu surgeons are experienced in neurology treatments and surgical procedures for conditions such as ALS, encephalitis, poliomyelitis and traumatic brain injury, among others. A number of medical conditions, including cancers, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy and other brain conditions, can affect the central and peripheral nervous system.

Finding the best in care is not always easy, but like Stefan, finding the right doctor and the right facility that meets your needs and shares in your care with concern and compassion go a long way toward finding the right kind of help.

For more information regarding facilities around the world that offer treatment for brain conditions or brain surgery, visit PlacidWay.com, an international medical resource and provider based in Denver, Colorado.
