Women’s Annoying Cosmetic Problems

It’s no secret that women are much stronger when it comes to style but women have their own annoying cosmetic problems as well. It is actually an alarming truth that women have a lot of beauty and health conditions that most men don’t have to worry about. This can include hair care problems as well as skin care or skin health issues. Read on to learn more.

Cellulite

Even women who are very skinny have some cellulite and cells of fat that are dimpled are often very looked down upon. While cellulite may actually vary in severity between different people, as well as being significantly worse in women who are overweight, this is actually an issue that men don’t ever need to worry their minds over. This may in fact be caused be caused by skin and patterns below it, skin thickness, as well as circulation. There was a report done by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that only 4% of cellulite treatments are employed by men.

Melasma

Have you ever experienced any problems with dark spots from the sun? If you do, you likely have Melasma. This is a common skin condition that can come about at any time (especially while pregnant) and can also happen on your face, which is very undesirable. Women actually have this problem 90% more often than men, and there is actually no known cure for the problem. Although it cannot go away, spots can be faded with chemical peels and other treatments.

Unwanted hair

All women probably wish their morning routine didn’t have to take so much time, and it wouldn’t if you didn’t have to shave your armpits, or rid your face of unwanted hairs. Men look great with that nice five o’clock shadow on their face, but it has been found that most women don’t typically think their own stubble is attractive. If you’re sick of doing this, try laser hair removal.

Stretch marks

Men are prone to stretch marks, yes. But they do not have to battle this problem nearly as much as women do. There is the obvious reason for pregnancy and breast tissue problems, and a lot of women have significant stretch marks covering their torso. The only upside to this? These stretchmarks can be lightened with laser surgery and corrective creams.

Thinning hair

It is a well-known fact that women do not bald as easily as men. However, men can actually pull it off better! Women will have a significantly less obvious hair loss pattern, but they may not look too great when they pull their hair back. Some women can pull it off but most will feel very downtrodden if they have to reach for the Rogaine.

Questions for your plastic surgeon

When you start getting older, you do not have to start looking older too! If you have any problems that may have surfaced over the years, you can actually reduce them or even eliminate them before the come about. You can even do this with very little pain or significant downtime.

Aesthetic treatments range from lasers to injections. These treatments can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, acne scars, unwanted hair, broken blood vessels, and cellulite.

Do your research

The idea of looking younger sounds great, but you can’t decide alone if a treatment is right for you. How do you decide? Our office offers consultations. Just call and make an appointment! Just remember, the questions you ask your provider are just as important as the treatments themselves. Even the simplest of procedures can carry potential risks.

Ask questions

It’s important to ask your doctor questions before undergoing a procedure. Understanding what you should expect when you go into the surgery is vital. Prepare yourself with the following questions:

1.     What does this procedure entail, what type of equipment will be used, and can you tell me why will it be selected?

2.     What is the number of patients have you treated with this procedure?

3.     How many times have you treated this, or at least how many years?

4.    Can you tell me what type of results can I expect from this procedure?

5.     How many treatment sessions are required to achieve my desired results?

6.     How much does the treatment cost?

7.     How long is the recovery time for this treatment?

8.     Are there any risks for my body or physical condition with this procedure?

9.     What are the potential complications from this procedure, and what can be done if they do occur?

10. Do you have any positive testimonials, before/after photos, or patients I can talk to who have had this procedure done?

11. Will the procedure be done by your or another specialist? What training does this person have?

12. What type of anesthesia will be used?

This last question especially is often overlooked. It is wise to ask your doctor all of these things before going under the knife – just to be sure you know what you’re in for! Coming prepared with these questions will help you feel more confident as you go into your procedure.

It’s also very important to make sure your surgeon is board certified. At our practice, we have the most highly qualified professionals available for all procedures. We are confident we can answer all of your questions, without you even having to ask! Call for a consultation today at 702.410.9800.

Top Skin Issues

It’s not a secret that no one likes to look old, so in order to combat this problem, there are a lot of “solutions” out there such as botox, cosmetic fillers, and other types of help. Most cosmetic procedures are based on addressing the top skin issues or skin concerns people have. Read on to find out more about the top skin issues that plague people today.

Allergic rashes

These are known as changes of the skin, which change the skin’s color, appearance, and/or texture. Rashes may be localized in one lace or affect larger areas of the skin. In a lot of cases, patients complain of itchiness, although not all rashes itch. Obviously, not all rashes are the same, and it is best to go to a dermatologist to identify the cause so that the best treatment can be secured. Learning the cause of the rash is the best way to prevent future breakouts.

Suspicious moles or skin cancer

Moles are another common issue of the skin. With increasing rates of skin cancer happening today, patients should seek guidance from a medical professional when a suspicious mole appears anywhere on the skin. For starters, moles are perfectly natural and can be influenced by genes or sunlight. While moles are naturally occurring, it’s the appearance of the mole and its characteristics that distinguish benign from cancerous moles. The four key criteria for moles relate to asymmetry, border, color and diameter. Sometimes evolving is added as a fifth criterion. If a mole starts changing in size, color, shape or if the border becomes ragged or you notice bleeding, then it’s important to consult a dermatologist.

If you have any of these problems or have any questions or concerns, talk to your doctor today. A good plastic surgeon will help you understand what you need in order to get the best possible care and you will be glad you did. Being careful with your skin and creating a good environment for yourself will help you to have the best possible skin. If you need more help, talk to doctor today.
