June 10, 2009 @ 04:10 PM — by Roger Oldham
Tagged with: Skin Skin Cancer Faqs
How sunscreen is used is as important as is the SPF (Sun Protective Factor). First, sunscreen should be applied thirty minutes before exposure to the sun since it is not effective for the first one-half hour.  Secondly, apply sunscreen generously.  Thirdly, reapply every two hours or more frequently, especially if you perspire heavily or go into the water.

I have had a mole on my face for several years which I have always disliked. However, in the past few months, it has gotten larger and darker. It is very unattractive. Would my insurance consider the removal cosmetic and not pay for it?

Tagged with: Skin Mole Removal
A skin lesion which becomes larger and darker should definitely be removed.  It is very unusual for insurance companies to deny coverage for removal of skin lesions, and this is especially true if there has been any change in the appearance.

Sun Exposure

February 26, 2009 @ 02:10 PM — by Roger Oldham
Tagged with: Skin Skin Cancer
Research performed on rats may revolutionize the world of self-tanning creams.  The tanning creams available today are typically dyes, offering no protection from the dangers of sun exposure.  The new cream developed in the rat lab actually reduces the incidence of skin cancer by turning the skin a golden bronze, without sun exposure.  The pigment of the skin is changed in much the same way as occurs with a sun tan.  The cream has only been tested in mice, so the safety in humans is completely unknown. This may be the next generation of skin tanners; but for the present, continue to get color from a bottle, not the sun.

FICTION: A year-around bronze glow from very mild sun exposure looks so attractive and youthful, it must be healty.

December 19, 2008 @ 04:09 PM — by Roger Oldham
FACT:  While a suntan gives the appearance of health and vigor, chronic sun exposure produces premature aging by breaking down the elastic fibers and thinning the layers of the skin.  While ultraviolet rays from the sun improves skin complexion temporarily, the long term detrimental effects of the sun far outweigh the short-term positive benefits.

I have heard that Botox can help prevent or reduce future lines and wrinkles. How does that work?

December 12, 2008 @ 11:31 AM — by Roger Oldham
Tagged with: Skin Botox
Botox acts by relaxing the muscles.  If a muscle does not fully contract, the skin over the muscle does not wrinkle.  Repeated contractions of the muscles can cause deep wrinkles in the skin, which eventually will produce a permanent crease.  After that happens, even Botox will not fully eliminate the crease.  If Botox is injected at the first sign of wrinkling, a deep crease will never develop.

Botox being used to minimize scars.

September 05, 2008 @ 01:03 PM — by Roger Oldham
Tagged with: Skin Botox
Botox, which has been widely used for several years in plastic surgery to minimize deep lines and wrinkles, is now being used to minimize scars.  In a study from the Mayo Clinic, plastic surgeons injected Botox into the skin of the foreheads and upper cheeks of patients following excision and closure of skin lesion sites.  As expected, Botox minimized general movement of the area.  Since the movement of the skin surrounding the surgical site often adversely affects the healing process, they found that the Botox-injected wound sites, which had minimal motion, produced superior scars.

Juvederm vs. Restylane: What is the difference?

August 01, 2008 @ 01:21 PM — by Roger Oldham

Both Restylane and Juvederm are frequently mentioned in fashion magazines and the lay press as fillers which can effectively soften folds and wrinkles.  Many people are asking about the differences in the two.  Restylane and Juvederm are both hyaluronic acid products.  Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body.  Restylane and Juvederm are very similar in composition but there are importance differences which have made Juvederm the treatment of choice for many plastic surgeons.  Juvederm is somewhat more concentrated and is more "cross-linked" which produces a smoother result.  Proponents of Juvederm point out that these differences have distinct advantages including less bruising, milder pinkness and decreased swelling following the injection. 

Injectable Fillers

May 16, 2008 @ 09:56 AM — by Roger Oldham
Injection of various "fillers" to eliminate some of the undesirable lines and depressions of the aging process is among the most commonly used non-surgical techniques for cosmetic improvement of the face.  While there are dozens of fillers in use throughout the world, only a few have been approved by the FDA for use in the United States.  The most popular filler in this country is hyaluronic acid (Restyland and Juvederm).  Results usually last 6 to 12 months. The FDA recently approved a permanent injectable filler, Artefil.  The prospect of a permanent result from a filler has obvious appeal.  Because facial structures and tissues change as the face matures, however, many plastic surgeons are hesitant to inject a permanent material.  The placement of the filler that creates a perfect result today may give an unattractive bulge or line as the face ages.  This could result in an uncorrectable aesthetic problem.

I have heard conflicting opinions about the effectiveness of microdermabrasion. What does it do?

March 21, 2008 @ 03:19 PM — by Roger Oldham
Tagged with: Skin Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a very effective technique for improving skin textures and skin complexion as well as reducing fine lines and pore size.  The procedure exfoliates the skin in a 30 to 40 minute procedure and leaves the skin feeling smooth.  The very mild degree of pinkness can be expected but this is easily covered with make-up and subsides in just a few hours.
