The first thing that will be done when you get CIT is to have your face cleansed and sterilized. After your face is cleaned, the practitioner will apply a topical numbing cream onto the affected area. This will be left on for 20 to 30 minutes. Since the procedure requires the use of needles, a numbing agent is used to ease pain or discomfort. However, you still may feel some discomfort or minimal pain. Your treatment will either be done via a needle roller or a needle pen. The practitioner will move the roller or pen over your skin, puncturing the skin in evenly space wounds.  This procedure takes anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the extent of the area being treated. Most people find the treatment uncomfortable, but not extremely painful. After the treatment, your skin will be red or pink for 12 to 24 hours. Most people can return to work the day afterwards.  If you have sensitive skin, your skin may be redder longer. If extremely long needles were used, it might take longer for the redness to subside, too.  Some people might experience slight swelling or bruising. Your skin might be warm, itchy, or tight after the procedure. Others might peel. This is normal. You should follow all post-treatment care your practitioner provides. This helps keep your skin from scarring or becoming damaged.  Stay out of the sun for two days after the treatment. Wear hats, scarves, or other garments to cover your skin if you have to go outside for 24 hours after the procedure. Stay out of tanning beds after the procedure. Only use lukewarm water to clean your face for two days after the treatment. Gently pat the area dry. Don’t rub the area. Don’t touch the area with dirty hands. This helps reduce risk of infection. Refrain from putting on most makeup for 12 hours after the treatment. Your practitioner can give you mineral makeup that can be applied a few hours after treatment. Follow any skincare regimes and use any skincare products given to you by your practitioner. Avoid cosmetic products with alpha or beta hydroxy acids, vitamin A, benzoyl peroxide, or alcohol for two days after the procedure. CIT requires multiple treatments to be effective. In most cases, two to three treatments will be needed. These treatments are generally four to six weeks apart.  In cases of bad scars or stretch marks, you made need five or more treatments. You should start seeing results in two to eight weeks. Some people don’t see results for up to three months.  For maximum results, complete all follow-up visits suggested by your practitioner. Though CIT is best done by a medical professional, there are at-home products you can use for minor cosmetic purposes. Home rollers or pens have shorter needles that can be used a few times a week. At-home needling devices are used to reduce the size of large pores, help with oil production, help with fine lines, and help the effectiveness of topical agents.  You can use at-home CIT with vitamin C serums. It generally takes one to two hours for the wounds to heal after an at-home needling. If you use an at-home roller, make sure to buy a quality one, such as the Derma Roller home roller. It’s pivotal to get quality needles. Products sold on the internet may not be top quality and can cause damage to your skin.

summary: Cleanse and numb the face. Undergo the treatment. Expect redness for about a day. Follow post-treatment care. Return for follow-up treatments. Consider at-home CIT for minor cosmetic use.

This is where wiring comes in from the ignition module. If you observe no current then your pulse generator has likely malfunctioned.  If this is the case you will need to replace it. If you observe a current then your pulse generator is likely operating properly. This may indicate that your ignition module is not functioning and you must replace it. If all other components are functioning properly and there are no breaks in your wiring system, then you may have a bad ECM.  At this point you should consider taking your vehicle to a professional to diagnose the problem.

summary: Locate the pulse generator on the distributor. Connect an A/C voltmeter to the pair of wires at the pulse generator and crank the engine. Suspect the ECM as a last resort.

Fast food restaurants now offer a whole host of beverages to go with your meal - anything from sodas, to coffees and even smoothies.  However, some of these drinks are quite high in calories and can put you over your limit.  Drinking sugary drinks is associated with many chronic disease, such as type two diabetes and heart disease.  Stay away from regular sodas, sweetened juice drinks, sweetened teas, sweetened coffee drinks, smoothies, milkshakes or chocolate milk. Instead of these types of higher calorie beverages, go with low or no calorie beverages.  Water is always a great choice, but you can also try diet sodas, unsweetened tea, unsweetened iced coffee or diet lemonades.  Some of these may have some artificial sweeteners but they are low or no calorie. Drinking artificially sweetened drinks will satisfy your sweet craving, but it will not help to reduce it. In order to reduce your craving for sweet beverages, choose unsweetened options, such as coffee and tea, sweeten them yourself, and gradually reduce the amount of sweetener. Many times fast food meals, especially the main entree, can get high in calories with all the tasty toppings that are added.  More simple or plain items are usually lower in calories.  For example, a plain fast food single patty cheeseburger has about 300 calories.  A bacon club cheeseburger has about 700 calories.  Customize your meal as needed.  If you see an item you want to order and notice it has a lot of extra toppings or condiments, ask for these to be served on the side or not at all. Skip the higher fat condiments like mayonnaise, honey mustard, BBQ sauce and "special" sauces.  Instead go for yellow mustard, hot sauce, salsa, horseradish and vinegar for a much lower calorie topping. It's so familiar to hear a fast food restaurant ask customers "what side would you like with that?"  Even if you choose a healthier entree, the sides at fast food restaurants can be quite unhealthy.  The first thing to do is order a small.  This is especially true if you're ordering a fried item or other sides that are higher in calories.  Choosing a small order of fries or onion rings can save you a few hundred calories.  Many restaurants are now offering fruit as a side.  If you have the option opt for the apple slices, banana or small fruit cup.  You may also want to consider getting a side salad.  This can help you fill up on low calorie vegetables.  Just stick to low-fat dressing on the side. If you're willing to order a different side, go for something that's low in calories and not fried.  For example, choose a baked potato over fries.  Be moderate with the butter and sour cream.  However, this baked version is lower in calories and fat compared to the fries. If you're craving something sweet after your meal, be careful to choose a dessert that's not overly high in calories or fat.  Go for mini or individual desserts.  Items like cake pops, mini parfaits or mini cookies are a great way to enjoy a pre-portioned sweet treat.  Also choose smalls.  Whether it's a small soft serve or milk shake, a small will always have the least amount of calories. If ordering ice cream, go for a cup instead of a cone and leave off the hot fudge or caramel.  A few rainbow sprinkles is a better lower calorie choice.  Bring your own dessert from home. You could bring a sweet piece of fruit, a low calorie cookie pack, or some fruit snacks. Planning desserts could reduce the calories of your meal and also save you money.
summary: Pick low-calorie drink options. Keep it simple. Order a lower calorie side. Choose a better dessert.
