Chemical peel at different strengths The use of a glycolic solution (NeoStrata^®) in aesthetic facial procedures, is the the application of a rejuvinating solution that causes the older, outer layers of the skin to loosen and eventually peel off. The newer, inner layers of regenerated skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the older skin.

When we are young, our skin is soft, smooth, supple, and relatively thin. As age catches up, the skin thickens with the older, outer layers contributing to wrinkles & fine lines, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores and the resulting acne & acne-scarring.

The application of a fruit acid, like the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) used in the NeoStrata^® skin rejuvination system (SRS), allows a physician to selectively remove these aged layers of skin, resulting in fewer wrinkles & fine lines, reduced pigmentation, unclogging of pores and thus less likelyhood of developing acne, and reduction in the prominance of acne-scarring.

After the peel, the inner layers of skin remaining will regenerate, giving one the youthful looking glow of rejuvinated skin.

Chemical peels continue to have proven place in aesthetic medicine
Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 | Modern Medicine
Though new and emerging laser and light technologies can be very effective in skin rejuvenation treatments, chemical peels still have a positive, proven place in cosmetic medicine. Often, they can achieve similar — if not better — outcomes with lower risk of complications compared to more invasive technologies. (Source: Modern Medicine)

Acquired brachial cutaneous dyschromatosis.
Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:40:04 +0100 | Dermatol Online J
We report a case of a 62-year-old woman who developed an asymptomatic, reticulated, gray-brown eruption on the dorsal aspects of the forearms of gradual onset that is clinically and histopathologically consistent with ABCD. Whereas the original report found an association between hypertension and/or the use of anti-hypertensive medications in the original cohort, we propose that this entity may, in fact, be associated more closely with cumulative sun damage and may be related to such acquired disorders of the skin as poikiloderma of Civatte. Treatment of these lesions may prove to be a challenge, with an emphasis on rigorous sun protection and adjunctive measures with depigmentating agents, chemical peels, and lasers.

Melasma: A comprehensive update: Part II
Sun, 18 Sep 2011 01:35:47 +0100 | Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
Several methods of treatment are available to patients with melasma. First-line therapy usually consists of topical compounds that affect the pigment production pathway, broad-spectrum photoprotection, and camouflage. Second-line therapy often consists of the addition of chemical peels, although these must be used cautiously in patients with darker skin. Laser and light therapies represent potentially promising options for patients who are refractory to other modalities, but also carry a significant risk of worsening the disease. A thorough understanding of the risks and benefits of various therapeutic options is crucial in selecting the best treatment. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

MedInformatix' practice management and EMRs Simplifies Texas dermatology practice's operations

There often comes a time when IT's forward march brings a medical practice to a crossroads, a fork in the road where both directions lead to the same destination though not equally efficiently or cost effectively. Such was the case for Flower Mound Dermatology, an 11-employee suburban Dallas practice whose administrators seven years ago recognized the importance of adding Electronic Medical Records (EMR) capabilities to its existing UNIX-based Practice Management (PM) system. read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Press Releases)

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 04:00:00 +0100 | Collegium Antropologicum
Authors: Situm M, Kolić M, Bolanca Z, Ljubicić I, Misanović B Abstract Melasma is a common, acquired facial skin disorder, mostly involving sun-exposed areas like cheeks, forehead and upper lip. Melasma occurs in both sexes, although almost 90 percent of the affected are women. It is more common in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI) especially Hispanics/Latinos, Asians and African-Americans. The onset of the melasma is at puberty or later, with exception of darker skin types, who tend to develop this problem in the first decade of life. The etiology is still unknown, although there are a number of triggering factors related to the onset of melasma. The most important are sun-exposure and genetic factors in both sexes, while hormonal activity has more important r...
