Jane Iredale mineral bases have become an integral part of patient care in this office because of their benefits to the skin and their ability to conceal almost any distraction.  Known worldwide as the skincare make-up, they are foundation, concealer, powder and sunscreen all in one. Jane Iredale mineral bases are concentrated pigment so you get excellent coverage without looking like you are wearing makeup. When you apply this makeup correctly, it is long lasting, light, sheer and luminous, never heavy or cakey looking. The mineral bases also contain algae extracts that help prevent dehydration, calm the skin, provide it with much needed antioxidants and provide UVA/UVB protection.

We use this Jane Iredale mineral makeup exclusively in our practice and sell the entire Jane Iredale product line on our skincare website, Skincare-MD.com. We use Jane Iredale mineral makeup especially after microdermabrasion when skin is red and irritated to immediately calm the skin and hide any redness. Our patients can go back to work without worrying how they look. We teach our patients how to use the Jane Iredale camouflage products to conceal redness associated with rosacea or acne, post procedure to conceal bruising, scarring, to conceal hyperigmentation, vitiligo, and even to cover tatoos.

There are no oils, talc, FD&C dyes, synthetic preservatives or fragrance, so it can even be used by patients with sensitive skin. They also have a “Very Water Resistant” rating from the FDA. Your skin breathes and functions normally.

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!

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.

• Fast Drying
• Painless
• Can be used on a round joints and bony areas
• For all skin types
• Old and new scars

Use once or twice a day (or more if directed by your physician) for 60 to 90 days on wounds that are closed.

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.

What is the waiting period for breast reduction or breast lift after weight loss?

It is prudent to wait for a period of time when undergoing any procedure after significant weight loss.  Once one has reached a weight that is near their target, then it is prudent to wait a short period of time to make sure that no significant swings in weight will occur long term.  Once this is done, you can achieve a much better and longer lasting final result since the tissues have reached a stable plateau.
