Unwanted hair remains one of the most consistent concerns in the beauty industry. And it’s a concern for women and men alike. Women are primarily concerned with facial hair while men are more troubled by excessive body hair on the chest, back and arms. But regardless of the area, hair growth is very persistent, very visible and, often, very embarrassing. Traditionally, the treatments for removing unwanted hair have ranged from...
Loving your Skin
Posted on January 21, 2014 by Dr Elenora Fedoneko
One of the least invasive of the “non-invasive” skin care treatments is the chemical peel. Unlike BOTOX or the derma fillers, the peel is not used for deep frown lines or to add volume, eliminate sagging or fill hollowed areas around the cheeks or eyes. But many times, it’s the skin itself, not the surrounding structure, that needs some attention. The chemical peel is used to reduce acne scars, age...
With the FDA-approval of the revolutionary drug, BOTOX, in 2002, the cosmetic dermatology industry changed forever. BOTOX softens or eliminates the most common signs of premature aging: wrinkles, lines, furrows between the eyebrows and crow’s feet crinkles, at the corner of your eyes. From 2012, the stats are in. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 14.6 million procedures were performed in 2012; an increase of 5%. But 6.1...
We have often suggested consulting with your doctor or practitioner before approving or receiving any cosmetic procedure such as Botox or Juvederm for example. Remember, the more you know the more you will be able to participate and prepare for every stage of the procedure. OK, so what kinds of questions should you bring to the consultation. First and foremost, ask about anything you are unsure of or have questions...
Lip Augmentation
Posted on January 6, 2014 by Dr Elenora Fedoneko
Today, lip augmentation is fast and, depending upon the product, may last for several months or, even a year. With no real downtime. Some soreness and swelling may occur but is, usually, resolved within a week. And the look is truly lovely. Along with the ease of the procedure, fillers allow the practitioner great control over the volume of the product used as well as its perfect placement. It may...
Here are some of the simplest suggestions to maintain the glow and keep the Holiday Season shining. First and foremost, make a promise to never again go to sleep with your makeup still on. It’s caking and clogging your pores and making your skin dry, dull and lifeless and prone to break-outs. Just like every inch of your body, your skin needs oxygen to breathe. It needs to be clean...
Winter months may present more challenges for keeping your skin soft and smooth than any other time of year.The cold and wind, the artificial indoor heat, the lack of fluids and even the sun can do a lot of damage to the delicate skin of your face – and your hands, body and feet. So right now, with the winter upon us, it’s time to switch to your winter beauty...
In 2012, there were over 6 million BOTOX procedures, in the U.S. As evidenced, all around the world, BOTOX remains the #1 non-invasive cosmetic procedure for frown lines, creases in the forehead and, with its recent FDA approval, for crow’s feet around the eyes. No wonder BOTOX L.A. and BOTOX Beverly Hills has maintained its popularity. However, as we noted in several other articles, there are more than 90 patents...
“Male skin care is one of the beauty industry’s fastest growing sectors,” according to a Wall Street Journal article, April, 2012. In fact, studies show that more than 1,000,000 men received cosmetic dermatology procedures last year. However, the motivation for men to look younger, more vital and more energetic, than their biological age, is a bit different than it is for women. Women do it for themselves and their desire...
Last week, we talked about one of the newest beauty products to be approved by the FDA, Voluma. But it’s important to note that Voluma is not the first product to evolve from the popular “derma fillers,” like Restylane, Juvederm et al, as a “volumizer.” Appropriately, it’s called Sculptra. In August, 2004, Sculptra was approved by the FDA for restoring volume to areas of the face that have lost fat,...
