On top of that, many women [...]
Capsular Contracture 2008-03-05 08:24:01 Though it is not common, capsular contracture is a complication that can occur from breast augmentation.

For those nostrils 2008-03-04 08:42:20 One of the most common targets of rhinoplasty is the nostrils. Rhinoplasty can resize or reshape the nostrils to make them bigger, smaller, or of a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

Sara From Brampton Asks… 2008-02-29 08:09:26 After a pimple goes away, it always leaves a dark spot on my skin that stays around for ages. Why is that?
Dr. Yaz says:
For some reason, more melanin is produced by the skin when it is damaged. As a result, a pimple, rash, burn and other types of inflammation/damage lead to an over-production of melanin, [...]

Procedure of the Month 2008-02-29 08:07:02 An attractive face relies on each of its features to cooperate harmoniously with the others. When one part of your face demands more attention than the other, that pleasant harmony is upset.

The Ink, Not the Skin 2008-03-13 09:36:45 Does laser tattoo removal burn the skin?
It is understandable to think that the unwanted tattoo is “burned off”, because it is eliminated by the power of a laser. However, this is a fallacy. Laser tattoo removal works by exposing the ink of the unwanted tattoo to light energy emitted at a specific wavelength. The ink, [...]

Hypertrophic vs. Keloid Scars 2008-03-17 09:00:30 Scars are the result of broken skin. However, in some cases, genetic predisposition and other factors can cause some scars to mature not into a thin, faint line that is commonly the case, but into something far more apparent.
Wide and flat, hypertrophic scars become smaller as they mature. While they do not grow beyond the [...]

From the Desk of Dr. Yazdanfar 2008-04-01 07:00:42 Tight pores, even tone and a smooth complexion are things we often take for granted when we’re young. As we age, external and internal factors can make our skin become blotchy, inflamed and uneven. Pores enlarge and the skin becomes lax – sure signs of the aging process.
Procedure of the Month – Melasma Treatment 2008-04-01 06:59:45 If you’ve got irregularly shaped dark blotches on the skin, particularly on the face, then you’ve probably got an excess of pigment (melanin) in the skin that can be worsened by sun exposure. The condition, known as melasma, may sound scary, but don’t worry – it’s not dangerous. Read more:Procedure

Chanel and Her Tan 2008-04-01 06:55:19 Ever wonder why having a tan is so popular, despite it being damaging to the skin?
Blame it on designer Coco Chanel
for popularizing the tan.
Up until the 1920s, pale and untanned skin was the standard for beauty, until Chanel went on a cruise. When the cruise ended and she stepped off the yacht, her once [...]
