NOTES ON FILLERS and COSMETIC ENHANCEMENTS

1. Your enhancements should not make you look like somebody else. Strive for a natural
youthful look uniquely your own, not a grossly generic celebrity profile.
2. The best physician to do your face must be the one who knows you best, ideally the one who has seen you during your best years. Strangers are risky choices.
3. Do not expect fillers to resorb at once. They could remain semi-permanently on your face and give you a puffy look for years and years.
4. Lip fillers are tricky. Go easy on it. Generic puffy lips are quite obvious and unattractive in general. Strive for subtlety.
5. Anything that screams loudly at a distance of three meters is a bad job.

GOREE CREAM strikes again!
Take note of the multiple blackheads and rough texture of the patient’s skin after using Goree Cream for five months just to treat her melasma. So far, even her melasma got worse.
Stay away from Goree Cream if you don’t want your skin to grow pimples.
Although this one does not look so bad, others are not so lucky.

The glass skin trend using oil based products could result to acne breakouts. Double cleansing with oil based products could also be unsafe for acne prone skin.

Goree strikes again and all the time!
Remember: online posts that promote products use filters. They do not tell the truth. This one is an actual patient who used Goree.

STEROID ACNE ALERT!

This is a patient of mine who developed this monomorphic eruption (almost the same stage) of acne due to SKIN FIGHTER prescribed by a doctor herbalist.

Please do not apply anything on your face without consulting with your board certified dermatologist.

Topical creams may be used only externally but they can cause serious side effects. Please do not take these little things for granted.

ACIDIC SKIN?

Surprise, surprise!
FYI: Our skin is normally acidic at pH 5.5 and will develop many problems (dryness and itchiness for example) at neutral pH. Stop the false information and stop blaming the acidity of your skin.
Skin NEEDS to be acidic.

The best skin care hack is to consult a board certified dermatologist. This is the best short cut.

Update on our ongoing treatment for pimples.

With no procedures and no intralesional injections, the treatment of acne takes around three months.
In about four weeks, there is already a marked decrease in new acne lesions. What you see now is just redness from the post acne marks.

CHILDHOOD ECZEMA / AD

Childhood eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition that affects many children.
The following are some important facts about AD:

* AD often begins with itchy skin. Subsequent scratching often leads to the appearance of a red rash.

* AD can develop on any area of your skin. However, at certain ages, the rash can appear on certain areas of your body. Among infants, the rash often appears on the scalp and face: particularly the cheeks. For children 2 years of age up to puberty, the rash often begins on the creases of the elbows and knees. Other common areas are the neck and ankles.

* AD tends to run in families. You are more likely to develop AD if blood relatives have AD, food allergies, asthma or hay fever.

*AD is a complex disease. Aside from its tendency to occur within families, other factors which may play a role in developing AD include an immune system that is over reactive when exposed to certain environmental conditions (extremely cold or hot climate) and other factors, namely exposure pollution, pollen, dust mites, animal dander and detergents.

If you suspect your child to have eczema, seek consult with a board-certified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and management.
