​​Why does Mint have a cooling sensation? That cooling sensation is a result of menthol in the tissues of the mint leaf: Menthol's ability to chemically trigger the cold sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling  sensation it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin. The receptor of interest is a protein called TRPM8 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 8). It is an ion channel which, when open, allows sodium ions and calcium ions to enter, causing an action potential (an electrical signal down a neuron). Menthol causes the TRPM8 channel to open. But TRPM8 is also a temperature receptor that opens in response to low temperatures. When you eat something containing menthol, the TRPM8 channel opens, but this signal is indistinguishable from the signal that would be produced if the receptor sensed cold. Therefore, when it detects menthol, the receptor signals ‘cold’, making mint feel cold.

​​​​What is Laser hair removal? How does it work? Did you know that hair follicles grow in repeated cycles? There are three phases of hair growth every time a new hair is developed, and it’s important to understand that our hair does not grow in unison. While one hair might be in the first stage of hair growth, the one next to it might be in the last; hence one zap of a laser will not get rid of all the hair forever. Each cycle can be broken down into three phases: : The active growing stage : The transitional stage : The resting stage Have you ever noticed how dark clothes absorb sunlight and feel warm to the touch? Then you'll begin to understand how the melanin (pigment) within the hair follicle absorbs energy/heat from the laser. Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure to get rid of the unwanted hair on any part of the body. Concentrated light or lasers are used to remove the hair. It can be permanent or the temporary treatment at an affordable rate. You can consult a licensed dermatologist for initial consultation and to know your current skin conditions to undergo the treatment. It is a non-invasive procedure for hair reduction for longer period of time. Laser hair removal works by the process of selective photothermolysis. This is when the laser beam is set at a designated wavelength. The laser beam is attracted to the melanin contained within the hair, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. The energy of the light beam is converted into heat and travels through the hair shaft and into the hair bulb itself. Here the heat destroys and kills the dermal papilla, which is responsible for feeding the hair bulb and regenerating the hair. The regrowth of hair will be slower and finer after just two sessions. There are several advantages of laser hair removal, but there are also some potential drawbacks to the procedure that should be considered.
