Prescription Skincare: Products that deliver what they promise
Fine lines, dark spots, acne scarring, oh my! With thousands of products that promise to minimize our most dreaded complexion concerns, it is hard to decipher the truth from the fairytales. At GLOW, we treat these concerns with lasers (IPL, SmartSkin C02, Fraxel). However, to achieve the best results, we recommend the use of prescription skincare post laser treatment. For dark spots and uneven skintone, we suggest the use of Hydroquinone. For dull skin and fine lines, the prescription called for is Tretinoin. Read More...

Back to school health and fitness
The kids are back in school and your daily routine is changing. One of the challenges: healthy lunch options. Ditch the white bread, chips, and cookies for fresh choices like wheat tortilla wraps, cold chicken strips with honey mustard, grapes, and cubed cheese. Just because they go back to school, does not mean they have to start eating the typical over-processed lunch food that the supermarkets have on display. For more great ideas on healthy lunch packing, read "15 foods to pack in a school lunch." So, how about health/fitness for the new back to school schedule? Making sure the kids (and you) are getting a good night's sleep is important for brain function and energy. It's also a good idea to let the kids go outside and play when they first come home from school. This will allow them to let out some of the energy they have bottled up from sitting in a classroom all day.
