Advances in Treating Hyperpigmentation

With summer upon us, patients will spend more time outdoors doing the things they love to do.

While having fun, most people do not think about the effects of the sun upon the skin.

Sun exposure will either cause or exacerbate problems of pigmentation.

One of the most common concerns patients present are disorders of hyperpigmentation.

Increased pigmentation can be the result of many things, ranging from hormonal issues to sun exposure and the use of some medications.

Leading Anti-Wrinkle Cream Dermaxin Offers Safe & Natural Alternative to Dangerous Injected Dermal Fillers

The cosmetics world is constantly on the lookout for the next greatest breakthrough in anti-wrinkle treatment. A popular form of treatment up until recently has been injected dermal fillers, which can minimize the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin suppler and youthful.

Ageless Hands: Do Your Hands Tell Your Age?

50-year-old Jane Vandewiele is ashamed of how her hands look.“They’re old. They’re ugly. I don’t live that glamorous of a life, but when I do dress up and I do go out, I don’t want people looking at my hands,” said Vandewiele.

Like many women her age, Vandewiele is beginning to feel the pressure to look younger.

“I never really worried about it till the last three or four years and all the sudden, you get old,” said Vandewiele.

IAPAM member Dr. Michael Stanford, co-owner of Embrace Spa in St. Petersburg, Fla., said the percentage of his Botox clients who are men has grown from just a handful five years ago to about 10 percent. Reasons range from a greater acceptance of the procedure to a high divorce rate, which thrusts men back into the dating scene, he says. Younger guys do it for prevention. Read more

               

Old, tight face lifts are out, more natural-looking rejuvenation is in

Jonathan Van Meter, in an article for New York magazine, called this more natural-looking rejuvenation a new beauty aesthetic and dubbed it the “new new face.” The gaunt, pulled-tight look was over, he noted. Replacing it was a plumper, more filled-out face, he wrote, not unlike “a slightly tired but still very stylish down-filled sofa that looks almost new if you keep those cushions fluffed.” Read more
