I recently completed a treatment on my dry, cracked heels with a new product we carry at Skincare-MD.com. Glytone Body Lotion, with a 17.5 glycolic free acid value, repaired my heels in one month. Even after two weeks, I could see improvement.

Below are my before photos of my left and right heel:

 

Below are my 1 month post treatment photos of my left and right heel:

I have this problem every winter with my heels drying out and cracking. They can get so bad they hurt. They run my stocking and catch on the bed sheets. Frankly, my feet were ugly and embarrassing. I am really pleased with how they look and how they feel now and recommend Glytone Body Lotion to anyone with a similar problem.

For really cracked and calloused feet, Glytone makes Glytone Body Ultra Heel and Elbow Cream with a 29.5 glycolic free acid value.

Be ready for sandal season!

Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment

Quote from Carol’s Mom

“After having any surgery I have had problems with the healing of the incision. The scar becomes raised, ropey, and really ugly (keloid scarring). Recently after an open shoulder repair, my daughter suggested I try Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment. It worked so well the scar is barely visible and it is flat. I would highly recommend this product to help reduce scarring after surgery.”

Dermatix Ultra forms a barrier against chemical, physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration. Scars largely develop because collagen deposition is more random during the healing stages. Dermatix creates an environment which allows for better organization of the collagen and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar.

Fear of Augmentation Mammaplasty


Posted by: Peter T. Pacik, MD, FACS

For a patient, what fear is generally associated with a breast augmentation?

Breast  augmentation is a procedure that causes both  anxiety and excitement in women undergoing the procedure. The most common fear of breast enlargement is pain. We routinely  use pain control catheters to deliver local anesthesia during the post-op  period. Augmentation mammaplasty is one of the  more commonly performed procedures. and vast  amounts of information are readily available about the  procedure-omit.  It is  considered to be safe and the   majority of women are  happy with their results and achieve an  improved sense of self image.  We have many patients who are willing to  discuss their experience and are happy to speak to prospective breast  augmentation patients.
