Skin Care Tip:
Aging is something both men and women are all aware of and we will even try every option to help prevent aging and/or slow down the aging process. Most people over the age of 25 notice some signs of premature aging. Premature aging is typified by fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin before the age of 40. If we’re not supposed to show signs of aging until the age of 40, why do most of us begin to age in our early 20’s? Many factors come into place, such as obesity, smoking, sun damage and/or sun overexposure, and stress.
Obesity seems to speed up the aging process while also being the cause of many chronic illnesses. Obesity speeds up your biological age to approximately 8 years older than your current age. The reason for this is because your cells divide quicker than normal. Simply adapting to a healthy eating lifestyle and exercise regimen can help reverse these signs of aging and even extend your life by a few years.
Smoking damages the DNA, which causes free radicals to form as well as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging & sallow skin. It is easy to spot a smoker because of the fine lines around their lips, hallowed cheeks and dull tone to their skins. By quitting smoking, you can help repair some of the signs of aging before they get worse.
Sun damage, or Photo-aging, causes the skin to age prematurely. When you tan your skin, the sun’s harmful rays get to the deeper layers of skin. Skin has a memory and every time you tan and/or burn your skin, your skin remembers this and begins to reconfigure the DNA. Signs of premature aging are the result as well as pigmentation changes.
Stress is linked to premature aging, but until now, we really never understood why. When researchers studied Telomeres, caps at the ends of chromosomes which carry genes, they noticed that every time a cell divides, the Telomeres get shorter. Stress is helping to speed up this process, which is why our skin health decreases.
The best physician-strength lines to help with premature aging are LaRoche-Posay and neaclear and seem to be the most popular, best tolerated and most effective. neaclear was started by a plastic surgeon. Who better knows about your skin??
Anti–aging Tip:
Proper breathing is important to help prevent aging by helping to supply your lungs and your body with the oxygen it needs. Proper breathing is also important to help rid themselves of the Carbon Dioxide that can be left behind with short breaths. Most people only use a small portion of their lung capacity by breathing shallowly and barely expanding their ribcage. A cause of improper breathing includes hunched shoulders, tension which causes pain in the upper back and shoulders as well as lack of oxygen to the internal organs and cells.
Deep abdominal breathing, also known as diaphragmatic breathing is used in both Pilates and Yoga. This technique is done by breathing slowly and deeply while concentrating on your breaths. After several breaths like this, you will notice an inner peace and relaxation come over your body. By concentrating on breathing, you will also focus on the present rather than worrying about the past or the future, (which is referred to as Conscious Breathing). This is an excellent tool to stimulate relaxation, resulting in less tension and a sense of well-being. Breathing exercises should be done at least once a day, especially when experiencing stress or pain.
Plastic Surgery Tip:
Most of us have unsightly moles somewhere on our bodies. With all the treatment options available, it’s hard to determine which option works best. There are three main mole removal options, which include Laser Mole Removal, Shaving, and/or Excision. Laser can be performed by a physician or an experienced technician and can be done in a series of treatments. Shaves and Excisions must be performed by a Plastic Surgeon. We suggest you consult with your physician to help you determine which treatment option will be best for you.
Laser Mole Removal: This can only be performed if your mole is flat against your skin. Flat moles can be categorized as any dark spot or irregularity on the skin. Most people need between 3-5 Laser treatments; some may require more treatments to completely get rid of the mole. Raised moles cannot be effectively treated, because the laser energy does not penetrate deep enough.
Shaving: This procedure can be performed on raised moles and is most likely performed by a Plastic Surgeon. This treatment is also recommended if a suspicious mole or lesion is spotted and needs a biopsy. Your physician will numb the area where they will shave and take a Razor-like instrument and shave the mole flat with your skin. Some physicians suggest doing a series of Laser Mole treatments to prevent the mole from resurfacing.
Excision: This is another procedure performed on raised moles or lesions. This treatment is another option for Skin cancers, which will remove underlying tissue and skin to remove the skin cancer before it can spread. The physician will numb the area before cutting the mole out. He will then add a few stitches, depending on the area, to give your skin a minimal scar. A series of Laser treatments can minimize the scar, as well as neaclear Scar Advantage, a product that helps to keep the skin smooth.

During your consult with Dr. Speron, the patient will discuss their desired goals on an individual level. Then they will further discuss the course of treatment and potential complications at the appointment time. Please check out the wealth of information on our site by clicking here.
Make sure you chose a board certified plastic surgeon. A call to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or ASPS at 1-888-4-PLASTIC (ie. 1-888-475-2784) can tell you which doctors are legitimate plastic surgeons with outstanding qualifications. You can also visit the ASPS web site at www.plasticsurgery.org. The ASPS is the only one of the 24 boards approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties that certifies physicians in plastic surgery of the face and all areas of the body.
