Last Week for Extra Restylane Rewards, and Longer Durations for Restylane!
This is the last week for up to $100 rebates from the Restylane and Perlane manufacturer. We are still happy to offer $50 to $100 off each syringe of Restylane and Perlane, but this added bonus from the manufacturer is due to end on October 31st, so please remember to come in soon. One other exciting note is that recently the FDA approved a longer duration of effectiveness for Restylane of up to 18 months with two treatments. The final details aren't ready for publication yet, but we will keep our patients informed as this becomes available.

Dr. Schlessinger on National Fox TV and Skin Care Tip of the Month
Dr. Schlessinger was on national Fox TV last week in an interview on a new medical problem called Cellphone Dermatitis, which is happening due to the nickel content in some cellphones and has been occurring more frequently over the past several years. It appears that nickel is in the menu and logos on these particular phones. The rash that appears is red and typically on the side of the face where the cellphone contacts. Additionally, people who text quite a bit may get the rash on their fingers. If you experience this, you may need to switch your cellphone for a new one!

Safety of compact fluorescent light bulbs
A recent study in the UK has shown that some ultraviolet radiation is released from compact fluorescent bulbs. This is very concerning for patients who are sun-sensitive and would indicate that they keep a safe distance from such lights. We carry a product called Heliocare that also protects patients who have excess sun exposure or sun-sensitivity.

No positive skin effects seen in women on hormonal therapy in study
Several years ago, our research department was involved in a study to determine whether hormone replacement actually helped improve skin aging characteristics. The results of this study are now available, and it appears that there are no definite improvements in skin aging when women are placed on hormonal replacement therapy. While it is surprising to us that this treatment doesn't help, only two forms of hormonal replacement were studied, and there are others that remain to be tested. In the 1960s, it was in vogue to use hormones on the face for anti-aging properties, but the hormones caused severe acne and hormonal issues as well, so the score on such studies stands at 2 to 0. Luckily, there are many other new treatments that offer proven results for wrinkles, such as Botox and fillers.

Tattoo Treatment Pictures
We often receive questions on how effective tattoo lasers are, reflecting the huge interest in tattoo removal. Because of this, we recently compiled several pictures illustrating the results of such procedures. One of the pictures shows the 'best' scenario while the other one shows a more typical result. No matter what we can do after the tattoo is treated, the best advice is to think long and hard before tattooing, to make sure you are happy after the tattoo!
