• Our New Hair Suppress Formula Slows Hair Growth
  

  "A cosmetic nuisance endured by women and men is the need to constantly remove body hair. Few people realize how inefficient the shaving process is.

• Revitalize Aging Feet

  "Our feet support tremendous daily pressure and weight, making them susceptible to injury, fatigue, microorganisms, and infections that can spread throughout the body. Unfortunately, few of us provide proper preventive care for our hardworking feet. In order to maintain healthy feet one must focus on a variety of goals that include muscle and pain relief, protection against bacterial and fungal infections as well as optimal hydration."

• Topical Nutrients To Revitalize the Aging Neck

  "While skincare products help maintain a youthful face, an individual’s age is all too often revealed by unsightly changes that are seen in the neck. In fact, many dermatologists believe that the neck has become one of the most neglected parts of the body. The skin of the neck is very thin, and is constantly exposed to the merciless pounding of environmental agents and pollutants, including the ultraviolet (UV) rays that are primarily responsible for premature aging."

• Protecting Hands Against Unsightly Aging

  "I take excellent care of my face by using various skin products and following a healthy lifestyle, but hobbies like gardening make my hands look a lot older than they are. What can I do to improve the appearance of my hands, particularly the skin on the back of my hands?"

• Dr. Goldfaden Wellness Profile: Pioneering Natural Approach to SkinCare

  "When Dr. Gary Goldfaden entered the dermatology field more than 25 years ago, the specialty’s primary focus was treating skin diseases, cancers, and common skin problems. As a self-described “people person,” he was drawn to the field by his desire to help patients with skin conditions that, because of their outward visibility, often cause great distress and anxiety. Unlike surgeons who spend little time talking with their patients, Dr. Goldfaden made a priority of communicating with his patients. He believed that if he could practice dermatology and communicate equally well, he would accomplish his goals as a physician."

• Topical Alternatives to Surgical Procedures (June 2005):

  Q: Many cosmetic surgical procedures can be risky, painful, and very expensive. Are there any topical alternatives to undergoing these common cosmetic procedures? A: A great number of safe cosmetic procedures can be performed in a doctor’s office, either with or without anesthesia. The average cost of these procedures ranges from about $450 to $750 per treatment. However, these procedures also come with their share of possible side effects, including pain, bleeding, bruising, allergic reactions, and infection. Furthermore, certain procedures, such as Botox® injections, have been associated with more dangerous side effects. These cosmetic procedures and injections produce effects that tend to last three to five months, but must be repeated for continual results.

• How to Get Rid of Dark Circles & Puffiness Under the Eyes (March 2005):

  Q: Are there any nutrients or skincare products available to help with dark circles and puffiness under the eyes? A: As a dermatologist, I encounter patients who want to look younger by removing dark circles and puffiness under their eyes. Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes can be caused by several factors. The skin around the eyelid is normally extremely thin, and as we age, it becomes even thinner. In addition to individual genetic disposition, external factors such as ultraviolet radiation, pollution, and topical irritants can play a significant role in creating dark circles and puffiness. Excessive rubbing and touching of the eyelid skin will worsen the condition.

• How to Treat & Prevent Bruises (January 2005):

  Q: I frequently get black and blue marks and bruise very easily. Can you explain why this happens and what can be done about it?

Others develop black and blue marks from the slightest touch, which may last up to a few weeks.

• What are the Benefits of Red Tea (2004):

  Q: What makes Red Tea and other topical natural substances so beneficial for the skin? A: Before we can discuss how red tea benefits the skin we must understand a little more about the skin. Our skin is often thought of as the great envelope of our body. It serves many functions such as our external protection, temperature regulation, sensory functions, removal of toxins, and specialty functions concerning our hair and nails. One amazing ability of the skin is that it is continuously being made by our body. The skin reproduces itself approximately every 28 days. This is the time it takes for the birth of a skin cell (epidermal cell) to migrate and mature to the dry surface (stratum corneum) that we see and feel all the time.
