#Ferning

🔬 Why does ferning happen? High estrogen → increases salt (NaCl) concentration → when dried on slide → crystallizes into fern-like structures This can be used for ovulation tracking! Cervical mucus under the microscope shows characteristic patterns depending on the hormonal phase of the cycle—this is clinically useful in fertility assessment. 1. Estrogen-dominant phase (around ovulation) • “Ferning pattern” (arborization) • Looks like fern leaves 🌿 due to crystallization of sodium chloride • Indicates high estrogen levels • Suggests fertile window 2. Progesterone-dominant phase (post-ovulation) • No ferning • Thick, amorphous, sticky mucus • Indicates infertile phase #tryingtoconceive #infertility #womenshealth #gynecologist #cervicalmucus Do you agree??

Ferning!— called so because when amniotic fluid (and other substances) is viewed under a microscope, it looks like a fern leaf (or a snowflake sometimes!). Pretty cool, yes? Note: Seeing ferning is only one part of an evaluation for confirming “rupture of membranes” (ROM) since other substances can also fern. This specimen (plus other signs) DID confirm spontaneous ROM. . . . #waterrelease #waterbroke #amnioticfluid #leakingoffluid #birth #naturalbirth #midwives #doula #doulas #Blackmidwife #becomeher #labor #birthcenter #fern #ferning #pretty #prettycool . . . . #explore #reels

🌿 Cristallisation en fougère : quand la science révèle des motifs cachés À première vue, l’image peut sembler un dessin floral. Mais ce que l’on observe au microscope est un phénomène appelé cristallisation en fougère (ferning en anglais). Il apparaît dans les sécrétions féminines et fonctionne comme un véritable marqueur biologique. 🔬 Comment cela se produit ? - Le motif surgit lorsque des cristaux de chlorure de sodium s’organisent en formes semblables à des feuilles de fougère ou à des structures de glace, au fur et à mesure que la sécrétion sèche sur une lame de verre. - Cet effet est plus fréquent dans la glaire cervicale pendant l’ovulation ou la grossesse, périodes où l’œstrogène est élevé. - L’hormone augmente la concentration d’eau et de sel, favorisant la cristallisation typique. 💡 Pourquoi est-ce important ? - La présence du motif indique une sécrétion saine, qui assure des fonctions essentielles : lubrification, nettoyage naturel et protection contre les bactéries. - L’absence de cristallisation ou l’apparition d’autres motifs peut signaler différentes phases du cycle menstruel, la ménopause ou même des infections — situations nécessitant une évaluation médicale. ✨ En résumé : le « motif en fougère » est bien plus qu’une curiosité visuelle. C’est un outil utilisé en médecine et en biologie pour comprendre le corps féminin et ses variations hormonales, transformant un détail microscopique en information précieuse sur la santé et l’équilibre. #curiosités #faits #connaissance

¿Sabías que tu cuerpo puede dibujar helechos? 🌿 Cuando te acercás a la ovulación, los niveles de estrógeno suben y el moco cervical se cristaliza creando estos patrones lindísimos bajo el microscopio. Este fenómeno se llama “ferning”🔬 Tu fertilidad recordándote que sos ciencia & magia 🌸

After the chaos of yesterday in the garden, I will post before and after by the way, I’m off to the local garden centre next to where I work, I will be giving them a helping hand with their ferns, very excited, if your in the area come say hi.xx #supportlocalbusiness #fernsehturm #ferning #projects #gardencentre #gardenlife #plants @markhamgrangegardencentre

El Viernes pasado tuvimos una actualización sobre el estudio de la superficie ocular con @paulasaraviac19. Organizado por @ophtha_visualcl @ophthacl. Fue una jornada de mucho aprendizaje y nuevas técnicas como el test de Ferning 💧🔬. #TMCarmona #TMOjos #Ferning #DED #Ojoseco #Dryeye #Examen #Actualización

A treatment plan can take several sessions sometimes to achieve the final result. This particular results took several sessions and treatment modalities to get to result. - sculptra x2 - Ferning the accordion lines, perioral lines and smile lines - lip filler - chin filler/ chin shadow - pyriform filler - neurotoxin q3-4 months - non fractionated laser - medical grade skincare **pictures are both at 90 degrees one sitting and one standing, but I think still show that results of volume replacement, skin strengthening and skin care overtime ** 👩🏼‍⚕️ Lucy Smith NP-C ☎️ 804.724.5025 to schedule a consultation 📍 @reddyplasticsurgery #ferning #chinfiller #medicalgradeskincare #midlothianfiller #midlothianbotox #chinfiller #sculptra #biostimulator #naturalresults #spf #nosunclub

Perioral lines also known as “smoker lines”. Probably my number one concern among our patient population! This is a difficult area to treat and usually takes several different treatment modalities! It’s best to set up a consultation to discuss the best treatment for you ! 👩🏼‍⚕️ Lucy Smith NP-C 💉lip filler, Botox, perioral filler, morpheus 🗺 @dermloungerva ☎️ 804.423.2100 to book your consultation #reels #reelsinstagram #smokerlines #lipfiller #aging #volumeloss #botox #dysport #ferning #supportingskin #reverseaging #aesthetics

Let’s talk about one of my favorite “magic eraser” techniques for fine lines… FERNING 😍 It’s one of my absolute favorite techniques for those more superficial, dynamic lines. Ferning involves placing tiny amounts of filler in a delicate, leaf-like pattern within the dermis. The goal isn’t to add volume, it’s to add structure and support. ✨ Think: airbrushed not puffy ✨ Softened lines without heaviness It’s one of the most beautiful ways to smooth fine lines and creases so they practically disappear while keeping everything natural and balanced. 😍 My go-to fillers for soft, natural results are Juvederm Volbella, Vollure, Restylane L, and Restylane Silk…but the right choice always depends on the depth of the wrinkle and what your skin is doing at rest vs. with movement. If you’ve ever felt like your lines are “too fine” for filler… this might be exactly what you need 💉 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 ⬇️ 📲 +1 (919) 948-6355 🔗 LINK IN BIO TO BOOK 💉 CHOOSE: Filler with Nurse Emily for same day treatment! 💻 visit www.primemdcenter.com 📍 @primemd_aesthetics #ferning #ferntechnique #magiceraser #naturalresults #skinrejuvenation

Number one concern I get re: fillers is that patients are worried about looking “fake.” I’m here to tell you that when done correctly, fillers are a GAME-CHANGER. Contrary to popular belief, fillers don’t have to result in an overdone or unnatural look. In fact, with the right technique and a skilled injector, fillers can be used to achieve subtle yet significant enhancements that look completely natural. The key is to work with an experienced injector who understands the anatomy of the face and has an eye for detail. They can help you determine the right type and amount of filler to use in each area, as well as create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns and goals. Whether you’re looking to plump up your lips, restore volume to your cheeks, or smooth out fine lines around your eyes or mouth, fillers can be a great option for enhancing your natural beauty. So if you’re curious about what fillers can do for you, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with a trusted injector to learn more! #juvederm #RHA #galderma #restylane #revance #volbella #voluma #redensity #teartrough #teartroughfiller #tampabay #tampaplasticsurgery #tampaplasticsurgeon #facialrebalancing #facialbalancing #midfacefiller #templefiller #ferning #botox #daxxify #lipfiller #brownskinbeauty #ilooklikeasurgeon #tampa #tampabay #stpete #tampaplasticsurgery #plasticsurgerytampa #plasticsurgerytampabay
