The “alphabet soup” that often accompanies a physician’s name is meant to clarify his or her credentials. Unfortunately, without an appropriate glossary of terms and acronyms, often the letters and titles lead to more confusion.
Forehead lifting is a very powerful way to rejuvenate the upper face and upper eyelids. It can be used to restore a youthful shape to the eyebrows by sliding the forehead upward and maintaining it in an improved position.
In a world obsessed with the Atkins and South Beach diets, where the number of diet pills sold is increasing, it should come as no surprise that thousands of people are successfully losing significant amounts of weight each year. Unfortunately, this can leave loose, hanging skin behind.
The “no downtime” procedure refers to any facial enhancement treatment that does not require time off from work or social engagements. The trend started a decade ago with so-called “lunchtime” peels.
What is ultraviolet radiation and what is UVA? Why do we need to block it and how can you tell if your sunscreen does a good job? These are important questions but not ones easily answered by the average consumer.
Mild to moderate male pattern hair loss affects approximately 50 percent of men by age 50. The exact cause of male pattern baldness is unknown, although there are several contributory factors.
There is a little question that doctors are seeing better-informed patients arrive at their offices today than a decade ago. More and more, patients show up already interested in a particular procedure(s) and inform us that they have researched the subject in preparation for their consultation.
Many women hide their upper arms, even in the dog days of summer, because they are unwilling to wear sleeveless or short-sleeved shirts. They feel their upper arms are too big and bulky compared to their body, or that their skin hangs or is too loose, which gives their arms an unflattering silhouette.
Liposuction has evolved considerably from its origins in the early 1980s.

Now liposuction is a safe outpatient operation with minimal blood loss and a quick convalescence.

The mini-brow lift is a quick, minimally invasive method of correcting the lax frontalis forehead muscles and ‘over-pull’ of the eyebrow depressors or “frown lines.” The principle goals of this procedure are to elevate the eyebrow along the bony arch, and to achieve symmetry of the eyebrows.
