New Year, New Body ! Las Vegas cosmetic surgery.

New Year’s resolutions often include losing weight. However, what if living an active healthy lifestyle has not resulted in a streamlined silhouette? Although liposculpture is not a treatment for weight loss, it can permanently improve body proportion and may sometimes be the only way to eliminate fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. Also called liposuction, liposculpture, is currently a popular procedure in our society for body contouring. Specific areas of concern usually include the abdomen, hips, waist (or “love handles"), thighs, buttocks, neck and chin. Today, modern techniques are utilized which serve to improve cosmetic results. Patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to maximize and maintain desirable results. For more information about Cosmetic surgery please visit our website!

Scalp Psoriasis. What can I do?

 At least fifty percent of the 4.5 million adults who have psoriasis in the United States
have scalp psoriasis, a condition where skin cells grow too quickly can cause red
lesions covered with scales. Scalp psoriasis can be mistaken for other skin disorders,
like dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Scalp psoriasis can be mild, with fine scaling, or
severe, with thick crusted plaques covering the entire scalp. Severe forms of scalp
psoriasis can cause hair loss and can extend to the forehead, the back of the neck and
around the ears.
While scalp psoriasis can sometimes clear on its own, it usually remains on the scalp for
long periods of time. Fortunately, many treatment options can help control scalp
psoriasis. When considering treatment options, it is important to select treatments that
are agreeable to you and your lifestyle. Treatments should fit into your available time,
cost and should definitely never be worse than the psoriasis itself.
Tar shampoos, tar medications and salicylic acids are usually able to treat very mild
cases. More sever cases of scalp psoriasis need a persistent and experimental
treatment plans to find one that will be effective. Systemic treatments are not usually
used just for scalp psoriasis, but can be used if psoriasis is present on other parts of the
body, or if it is a severe case. Topical medications and ultraviolet light can also be
helpful. Sometimes a person can become resistant to medications after repeated use.
Because of this, treatments should be combined and rotated.

Food and Acne- Diet and SKIN

Bad acne?  Have you given up chocolate and potato chips because your mother told you they would make your acne worse?  Well, the food myth has finally been debunked! Some recent studies have looked in depth at the relationship between food and acne.  Diet had little or NO effect on the severity or improvement of acne.  The only study that showed any correlation with food was a single study that showed some worsening of acne in patients with large amount of  milk consumption.  Even then, it was felt that the worsening was due to the hormones that made it through with the milk rather than with dairy products themselves.  We currently don't recommend withholding dairy products in hopes of less acne (unless you are drinking a gallon of milk a day and finishing the night with a tub of Ben and Jerry's)!  So while we still recommend a healthy and well-balanced diet, if you sneak the occasional Hershey's bar and bag of Ruffles for a snack, rest assured that the skin on your face will not be any worse for it.
