The Scar Clinic Perth Holiday Quiz:

Question 4: What are the oldest known origins of New Year Resolutions?

Answer: Ancient Babylon and Rome

New Year’s resolutions were made by the Babylonians, though they were made in the March spring equinox. People would promise to pay debts or return borrowed items as a way to start the year fresh, improve themselves and communities in the upcoming year.

When Julius Caesar reformed the calendar and established January 1st as the start of the new year, Romans made resolutions as well. January is named after Janus, the Roman god depicted with two faces, one looking to the past and the other to the future. The Romans would offer sacrifices and make promises to Janus to be better citizens and hope to bring good fortune in the coming year.

Happy holidays everyone and don’t forgot the sunscreen!

The Scar Clinic Perth Holiday Quiz:

Question 3: What is a “first footer”?

Answer: The first person to enter your house after midnight on New Year’s Eve. This tradition has its roots in Scotland with Viking heritage as well, where the first visitor of the New Year would bring a gift (usually coal to signal warmth and prosperity) and was consider to set the tone of good luck for the year! If it was a dark-haired person it was considered even luckier!

Happy holidays everyone and here’s to a great start to the year!

BURN AND SKIN GRAFT SCARRING

These images show our 19 year old patient before and 5 months after 2 laser treatments to the thick skin graft scars on his chest wall and flank (scars due to a flame burn injury requiring skin grafts 4 months prior to the first image).

The periphery and central thick areas of the scar have flattened, it is less itchy and the colour is improved. He will undergo further treatment to continue the improvement of the remaining raised areas.

These photographs are of an actual patient treated at The Scar Clinic Perth by Dr. Suzanne Rea who has given his permission for use of these images for education and marketing.
