Acne Depression Link May Not Be Due to Drugs
|
Fears that acne drugs like Roche's Accutane could cause depression may have been overblown, since the condition itself is strongly linked to suicidal thoughts and depression, scientists said on Thursday.
Levels of depression and suicidal thoughts were two or three times higher in young people who had the most severe acne than in those with little or none of the skin condition, Norwegian researchers found.
The results suggested depressive side effects previously associated with acne medicines may be due to the condition-likely to be quite severe in those prescribed drugs for it-rather than the effects of the medication, they said.

Need a Lift? New Non-Surgical Techniques for Volume Enhancement
and Loose Skin Help Rejuvenate the Aging Face
|
By the American Academy of Dermatology
 CHICAGO (Aug 5, 2010) - Open any beauty magazine and it seems as though all the models have full, pronounced cheeks and a firm, tight jaw line. In contrast, aging causes a loss of volume across the middle of the face, resulting in a flattened or sunken cheek structure with sagging jowls that can make the face appear drawn, tired and old.
Now, armed with a deeper understanding of full facial contouring, dermatologists are using soft-tissue fillers to enhance and restore volume loss in the cheek area, thereby smoothing nasolabial folds (the wrinkles that form along the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth). In addition, newly introduced fractional radiofrequency technology to address skin laxity is showing promise by stimulating collagen contraction and reducing loose skin in the lower-face.

Microdermabrasion: What to Expect Before, During, and After
|
By AgingSkinNet
American Academy of Dermatology
If you want fresher, more youthful looking skin and no downtime, your dermatologist may recommend a cosmetic procedure called microdermabrasion. The following explains what happens before, during, and after this procedure.
What to Expect Before Microdermabrasion
Before performing microdermabrasion, your dermatologist will gather your medical history, ask what signs of aging concern you, and examine your skin. This helps ensure that microdermabrasion is appropriate for you.Be sure to tell your dermatologist if you have had a cosmetic procedure in the past, scar easily, or have ever had a keloid (a type of raised scar). It also is important for your dermatologist to know if you have taken isotretinoin (a prescription medication used to treat severe acne). Dermatologists often recommend waiting 6 months or longer after taking the last dose of isotretinoin. This reduces the risk of side effects from microdermabrasion.An at-home skin care plan may be prescribed. If a plan is prescribed, it usually is followed for at least 2 weeks before the first treatment.
