Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer accumulate or store fat.What To Expect With Kybella Treatment? Before treatment, the dermatologist examines the chin area to determine if KYBELLA treatment is indicated for you. Your treatment regimen will be tailored according to severityof submental fullness and your aesthetic expectations.How Is Kybellatreatment Administered? In KYBELLA treatment, you receive multiple small injections of deoxycholic acid under your chin, and the entire process requires about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections depend on the amount of submental fat and your desired chin profile.

Virtually our entire body is covered with hair. Because most of this hair is fine and pale, it usually isnt visible to the naked eye. But, when darker, coarser hairs appear in places which may make you uncomfortable like on the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, legs or underarms in women or on the shoulders, chest and back in men, it may be time to consider laser hair removal. Electrolysis is a time-consuming procedure, which can be painful and is useful for removing hair in small areas. During electrolysis, electric current is passed through a needle to destroy each individual hair root. It takes months and numerous regular visits to clear even small areas, like the upper lip. About Laser Treatment The concentrated light beam emitted by the laser is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. During the procedure, the laser pulses (produces energy) for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair bulge and significantly impair the follicles ability to re-grow. This process treats numerous hair follicles simultaneously and is therefore, appropriate for treating even the largest areas of the body both quickly and effectively.What Can You Expect? The duration of a laser treatment may vary from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. The hairs in an active growth phase (anagen) are targeted by the laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, more than one treatment is necessary. The laser treatment may cause some discomfort but most patients tolerate the procedure well. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others where topical anesthesia can be used.

Alopecia means hair loss. Alopecia areata is one of the most common hair loss disorders characterized by loss of hair in well-defined round patches, usually on the scalp.

When the follicle is attacked, this causes the hair to fall out just below the surface of the skin.

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes blisters and sores around the mouth, nose, genitals, and buttocks, and almost anywhere on the skin. HSV sores are very annoying as they may reappear periodically, are painful and unsightly. There are two types of HSV Type 1 and Type 2.Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 HSV Type 1 infections are tiny, clear, fluid-filled blisters that most often occur on the face, often referred to as cold sores or fever blisters. Type 1 may also develop in wounds on the skin. Recurrent episodes can be triggered by a variety of factors including sun exposure, fever, menstruation, trauma (including surgery), or sometimes nothing at all.Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 HSV Type 2 results in sores on the penis, buttocks, vagina, or cervix.

Atopic dermatitis is a common, chronic skin condition in which the skin appears inflamed, red, itchy and dry. It commonly affects children. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors include deficiency in the proteins that form the skin barrier. The skin loses moisture more easily, becoming more dry, easily irritated, and hypersensitive. The skin is also more prone to infection (with bacteria, viruses, or fungi). The immune system overreacts to environmental triggers such as pet dander and dust mites. Allergies and asthma may be present more frequently in individuals with atopic dermatitis. In infants, atopic dermatitis often starts as a dry red rash on the cheeks and around the mouth, often made worse by drooling. As children grow older, the rash is more common on the arms, legs, and in areas where they are easily able to scratch. In teenagers, eczema is often on the inside the elbows, behind the knees, on the hands and feet, and around the eyes. Scabies is a common skin problem caused by the human itch mite. People of any age, race and social group can get scabies, regardless of personal hygiene. The mite is transmitted by close skin-to-skin contact. The mite burrows into the upper layers of skin, where it feeds and lays eggs. After a few weeks, the patient develops an allergic reaction causing the very itchy scabies rash. The rash can look like hives, pimples, blisters or scaly and crusted bumps. It is common to see the rash on the hands, feet, underarms, belly button and genitals. It is important to treat all close contacts, not only those who have the rash.

As the disease progresses, small blood vessels and tiny pimples begin to appear on and around the reddened area; however, unlike acne, there are no comedones. The condition rarely reverses itself, may last for years and can become worse without treatment.

Herpes Zoster (shingles)Herpes zoster, also known as shingles or zoster, is a viral infection caused by the same virus that cause chicken pox. Anyone who has had chicken pox can develop herpes zoster. The virus remains dormant (inactive), in certain nerve cells of the body, and when it reactivates it causes zoster. Illness, trauma, and stress or a temporary decrease in immunity (the bodys ability to fight infection) may trigger the virus to multiply and move along nerve fibers toward the skin. It is more common in people over the age 50. Initially there may be burning, itching, tingling, or extreme sensitivity in an area limited to one side of the body before a rash appears at that site. The rash soon turns into groups of blisters which generally last for two to three weeks. Post-herpetic neuralgia is pain, numbness, itching, and tingling which may last long after the rash is clear.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin disease that causes a red, scaly, itchy rash. Most often it occurs on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids, and middle of the chest. This skin problem is easily treated, but chronic and recurring. Sometimes people use the terms dandruff, seborrhea, and seborrheic dermatitis to mean the same thing. However, these 3 terms differ. Dandruff causes scaling on the scalp but not redness. With seborrhea, the skin oily, mainly on the scalp and face, but has no redness or scaling. People with seborrhea may later get seborrheic dermatitis, which causes both redness and scaling. Seborrheic dermatitis affects people of all ages most often, though, in infant and older adults. In infants, the condition appears on the scalp (cradle cap). This mostly clears without treatment between 8 and 12 months of age. It is not contagious. In teens and adults, it tends to come and go and can be life-long. Elderly adults are prone to getting seborrheic dermatitis because of the effects of aging on the skin. The presence of a yeast(fungal)-like organism, excessive release of oil from the skin and immune system, all play a part in causing seborrheic dermatitis. Excess oil from the skin acts as food source for the yeast, which in turn causes inflammation (redness and swelling), irritation, scaling, and flaking.

Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast (fungal organism) on the skin. Heat and humidity are predisposing factors leading to overgrowth of yeast.

Many facial wrinkles form when we use our muscles to make facial expressions called dynamic wrinkles. When we are young, our skin springs back to its initial position after a facial expression. But as we get older, dynamic wrinkles remain on the skin to form static wrinkles, that are present when the skin is at rest. This process occurs because natural skin proteins such as collagen, elastin (allows tissue to stretch) and Hyaluronic acid (gives skin volume) decrease with age. This together with environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight, smoking and stress all contribute to the creation of wrinkles and folds.

Wearing heavy earrings can lead to elongation of earlobe holes.Surgery for enlarged earlobes also known as lobuloplasty (ear lobe repair) is performed under local anesthesia and typicallytakes 30 to 40 minutes.Lobuloplasty involves cutting the skin inside the elongated or torn part of ear lobe with an ablative laser.
