A Beauty Spa in Your Refrigerator
You just might discover the best cosmetic medicine not at your local plastic surgeon or spa but at your local grocery store.
Experts have identified an increasing number of "beauty foods" that act to add youthful qualities to skin, hair and teeth. For example, salmon and other omega-3-fatty-acid-rich foods help smooth wrinkles. Cranberries help whiten teeth. And spinach, broccoli and Swiss chard help produce glossy, well-conditioned hair.

Cosmetic Laser Surgery: The Cutting Edge
Laser surgery has become the cutting edge in cosmetic medicine. Why? Because it's able to accomplish just as much as invasive surgical techniques in less time and with faster recovery rates.
Using laser surgical techniques is also more precise, and produces less bleeding, bruising and scarring. A patient will typically get an injection of anesthetic, making the procedure painless, and be done in 30-40 minutes. (Read more about Cosmetic Laser Surgery: The Cutting Edge)

A special chemical present in broccoli and related vegetables helps to prevent the effects of EBS (epidemolysis bullosa simplex), a rare and sometimes fatal genetic disease that causes blistering and skin breakage.

Winterizing Your Skin
 Once autumn arrives, Michael Panella can be found spending a lot of time outdoors. He loves taking on home projects that allow him to work in his back yard. But, the dropping temperature causes Michael’s rosacea, a flushing and redness of the skin, to flare up. “My cheeks, the bridge of my nose, it’s exacerbated tremendously by the cold,” says Michael.
Skin conditions like rosacea, acne and dry skin generally worsen in the winter months. “The cold weather takes its toll on the skin; the second- forced hot air and the low humidity that causes indoor creates a big problem for the skin; and the third – are winds, winds are very, very traumatic for the skin,” explains Dr. Mitchell Chasin, Director of the Reflection Center for Skin and Body.
Dermatologist, Dr. Mitchell Chasin says winterizing your skin in preparation for the cooler months ahead can make all the difference. “In the summer or in the fall time before their skin has become dry, before it’s become red and flaky; it’s much easier to prevent the skin from getting dry than to treat it once it has,” reports Dr. Chasin.

Men and Skin Protection
With the waning weeks of summer, this is the time that we’re hitting the pools and beaches strong, trying to catch the last vestiges of the sun.
But men, listen up: you don’t worry enough about your skin, according to the latest research.
It’s almost like you have to whack it into the brains of men--that they are susceptible, just like everyone else, to skin cancer.
Take Todd Bernstein for example. “The first marking actually started with my regular Dr. he saw a mark and said this should be removed, of course I didn’t do anything about it until two years later,” says Todd.
Todd’s back at the doctor’s office today, to get his stitches removed following the excision of five highly suspicious--in fact, near borderline-- malignant moles.
And he still hasn’t learned! “I do put on the sunscreen, my skin, my body, but I’m always in a rush uh especially when I’m outdoors playing golf so I do the basics, but you know it is nice to be in the sun; it feels good,” states Todd, an avid golfer.
Rates of melanomas have increased almost 15-fold over the last 50 years. And that increase has been observed disproportionally in men over 50.
The problem: men don’t get screened. (Read more about Men and Skin Protection)

Dyplastic Nevus
There’s still a lot of summer left; in fact, the hot weather is making the beach and pool look really good. But the accumulated sun exposure, as I’m certain you’ve heard, puts us at risk for skin cancer, and precancrous lesions.
How do you know if a freckle is something to worry about?
Many of us, like Buffy Schneit, don’t even think about it. “Most people spend their summer sin the sun so you don’t think anything is going to happen to you.”
Buffy has been a sun lover for her entire life and has never thought about getting her skin checked, until she went to a free screening.
“They said lets check this one freckle and I said ok and they scarped this one freckle, I didn’t think anything again and when they went back to the results. They said, oh, you have a dysplastic nevus. It was very scary.”
Scary--because dysplastic nevus, which is an unusual mole, can, if unchecked, become cancerous. (Read more about Dyplastic Nevus)

Sun Pill
It’s here: a product that claims to help protect you from sunburn…in pill form.
The makers call this the “sun defense breakthrough of the decade.” So is it all that? Does it do what its makers claims it does?
Some of the experts with whom we spoke aren'’t so sure.
A company called pure pharmaceuticals has started marketing this: it’s called Sunpill.
Dr. Perry Robins is a dermatologist who has been featured on the Sunpill website and promotional videos. He says Sunpill increases the amount of time you can stay in the sun without burning. “If it is fifteen minutes or thirty minutes depending on the day and your skin type this will increase it fifty percent so you will be able to go out forty five minutes before you get burned,” Dr. Robins states.
The proof of the claim? (Read more about Sun Pill)

Multiple Melanoma
There is strong evidence showing that the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma, is a growing threat. Now, new research shows that cases of multiple melanomas are on the rise. People who get melanoma don’t just get one; they’re at risk for two or even more.
We don’t completely know why we see more than one of the same type of cancer in an individual person. It’s likely that genetic susceptibility plays a role. Or, it might be simply due to heavy exposure to the toxic agent causing the cancer, like smoking in the case of lung cancer, and sun exposure in the case of skin cancer.
This study shows a large portion of people with melanoma aren’t done with the problem even after their first cancer is successfully removed, but might have to contend with multiple melanomas. (Read more about Multiple Melanoma)

TANNING ADDICTION
You’ve probably heard that being in the sun is bad for you. But can the desire to bake in the sun actually be an addiction?
That’s what the latest research suggests.
In this day and age, when we are bombarded with the messages of how bad the sun is for us, to wear sunscreen, there are still those who walk around with the deepest darkest tans. (Read more about TANNING ADDICTION)
