The 4th of July is a great holiday, full of fun and get-togethers with family and friends. Many times the 4th of July involves swimming and trips to a pool or swimming area. It’s wise to plan ahead as well as take a few precautions so that the day is not only fun but also safe.
Water Safety
Because almost everyone heads out to the lake or beach for 4th of July, it is important that you and your Family are kept as safe as possible while playing in the water or out in the water with your jet ski or boat. Here are some water safety tips for 2013 Independence Day:

  • Make sure the children – and even adults – always have a life jacket on when in the water or on a motorized water vehicle (boat, jet ski, etc.)
  • Never let your children swim alone. An adult should always be present and paying attention.
  • Always step “Feet First”* into shallow water and never try to dive.
  • Alcohol, fireworks and Fourth of July do not mix well. Drink responsibly and make sure to have a designated driver available.
  • Review safe boating practices.
  • Always have a phone handy should an emergency arise.
  • Know your limits when it comes to water.

*Water Safety promotion offered by ArmyMWR.com. Be sure to check it out for more safety tips related to water.
Sun Safety

  • Try to limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
  • Always wear sunscreen with at least a 15 SPF, although higher is recommended, and should be reapplied often.
  • Make sure to stay hydrated and watch for signs of heat stroke – rapid, weak pulse, fast, slow breathing, and hot, red skin.

If you follow all of these tips, you will have a much more enjoyable Independence Day celebration with your family.

Laser 360

Facial Treatments | Dallas TX | Mansfield TXLaser360™ is a skin treatment for anyone who would like to revitalize their look without invasive procedures or injections. You no longer have to accept fine lines and wrinkles or skin discoloration as an inevitable part of the aging process.

Laser 360 – What You Can Expect

Using 3 cutting-edge technologies, Laser360 is a non-invasive, comfortable procedure that provides lasting results in just 60 days through a series of office visits. These skin tightening treatments are safe, comfortable and effective without surgery or down time.
It can be used on any skin type, and you are free to return to normal activities immediately after each session.

How Does Laser 360 Skin Care Therapy Work?

Laser360 uses three technologies to provide complete skin rejuvenation:

  1. AFT intense pulsed light for color
    Pulses of light even out your skin color and reduce tiny broken blood vessels and other color irregularities.
  2. Near-infrared for tightness
    Deep heating helps firms up any loose skin so you regain a more youthful, contoured appearance.
  3. Pixel® for texture and tone
    This precision laser creates thousands of microscopic perforations, which stimulate new collagen to grow. The new collagen improves your skin’s texture and tone to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The skin around each of these perforations remains intact, which allows the skin’s top layer to heal from the edge of these tiny holes very rapidly.

Each technology is delivered through a simple handpiece that is placed against your skin. The treated area will gradually rejuvenate over the course of your customized treatment plan.

Ninety-eight percent of women undergoing breast augmentation surgery say the results met or exceeded their expectations, according to a prospective outcome study published in an issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
Women also report improvements in self-esteem and quality of life after breast augmentation, according to the study. The study adds high-quality information regarding expected outcomes after breast augmentation – including recovery time and psychological benefits.
98 Percent of Women Satisfied with Breast Augmentation Results
The survey study evaluated 225 consecutive women who returned for interviews at least one month after breast augmentation over a five-year period. Interviews included questions about the recovery, results, complications and psychological effects.
The average patient was 34 years old, and the majority of women received saline-filled breast implants placed under the muscle. The average implant volume was 390 cc.
On a 10-point scale, the women reported an average pain score during recovery of 5.9. On average, they used prescription pain medication for five days and were off work seven days. Patients felt they were “back to normal” about 25 days after surgery.
Eighty-five percent of women rated their new breast size “just right.” Thirteen percent would have preferred a larger size and less than two percent a smaller size. Only one percent expressed dissatisfaction with their scars, which were usually located in the crease under the breast. Seventy-five percent of women rated their breast firmness “just right.” When asked to rate the result, over half of the patients gave it a perfect 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Almost all patients (98 percent) reported that the results met or exceeded their expectations.
Increased Self-Esteem and Other Psychological Benefits
Nearly 40 percent of the women surveyed experienced at least temporary nipple numbness after surgery. Persistent numbness was reported by only two percent. The complication rate reported by patients was 10 percent. When asked about psychological effects, 92 percent of women reported improved self-esteem after breast augmentation and 64 percent reported an improved quality of life. Before surgery, the majority of women (86 percent) were self-conscious about their breasts. After surgery, only 13 percent were self-conscious about them.
Breast augmentation remains the most popular plastic surgery procedure for women. In 2013, there were 290,224 breast augmentation surgeries performed by ASPS member surgeons. That represents a growth of 37% since 2000. The study results provide new information for women considering breast augmentation, particularly in terms of their expectations of the recovery and results. “This study is valuable in providing information from the patient’s perspective, not the surgeon’s,” according to Dr. Swanson. “Patient satisfaction is the most important measure of surgical success.”

El noventa y ocho por ciento de las mujeres sometidas a cirugía de aumento mamario dicen que los resultados alcanzaron o superaron sus expectativas, según un estudio de resultados prospectivo publicado en una edición de Plástica y Reconstructiva Surgery®, la revista médica oficial de la Sociedad Americana de Cirujanos Plásticos (ASPS) .
Las mujeres también reportan mejoras en la autoestima y la calidad de vida después de aumento de senos, según el estudio. El estudio añade información de alta calidad respecto a los resultados deseados con el aumento de senos – incluyendo el tiempo de recuperación y los beneficios psicológicos.
98 Porcentaje de mujeres satisfechas con los resultados de aumento de senos
El estudio encuesta evaluó 225 mujeres consecutivas que regresaron para las entrevistas, al menos, un mes después de aumento de senos durante un período de cinco años. Las entrevistas incluyeron preguntas sobre la recuperación, resultados, complicaciones y efectos psicológicos.
El paciente promedio fue de 34 años de edad, y la mayoría de las mujeres recibieron implantes mamarios rellenos de solución salina colocados debajo del músculo. El volumen medio de los implantes fue de 390 cc.
En una escala de 10 puntos, las mujeres reportaron una puntuación media de dolor durante la recuperación de 5,9. En promedio, se utilizan medicamentos para el dolor durante cinco días y estaban fuera del trabajo de siete días. Los pacientes sentían que eran “volver a la normalidad” unos 25 días después de la cirugía.
El ochenta y cinco por ciento de las mujeres calificaron su nuevo tamaño de los senos “justo.” El trece por ciento hubiera preferido un tamaño más grande y menos de dos por ciento de un tamaño más pequeño. Sólo el uno por ciento expresó su descontento con sus cicatrices, que por lo general se ubican en el pliegue debajo del pecho. El setenta y cinco por ciento de las mujeres calificaron su firmeza del pecho “justo.” Cuando se les pidió calificar el resultado, más de la mitad de los pacientes le dio un perfecto 10 en una escala de 1 a 10. Casi todos los pacientes (98 por ciento) informó que los resultados alcanzaron o superaron sus expectativas.
El aumento de la autoestima y Otros Beneficios psicológicos
Casi el 40 por ciento de las mujeres encuestadas experimentaron al menos temporal pezón entumecimiento después de la cirugía. Entumecimiento persistente fue reportado por sólo dos por ciento. La tasa de complicaciones reportada por los pacientes fue de 10 por ciento. Cuando se le preguntó acerca de los efectos psicológicos, el 92 por ciento de las mujeres informó de mejora de la autoestima después de aumento de senos y el 64 por ciento informó de una mejor calidad de vida. Antes de la cirugía, la mayoría de las mujeres (86 por ciento) eran tímidos sobre sus pechos. Después de la cirugía, sólo el 13 por ciento era consciente de ellos.
El aumento del pecho sigue siendo el procedimiento de cirugía plástica más popular para las mujeres. En 2013, había 290.224 cirugías de aumento de senos realizados por cirujanos miembros de la ASPS. Esto representa un crecimiento del 37% desde el año 2000. Los resultados del estudio proporcionan nueva información para mujeres que están considerando el aumento del pecho, sobre todo en cuanto a sus expectativas de recuperación y resultados. “Este estudio es valioso en el suministro de información desde la perspectiva del paciente, no el cirujano”, según el Dr. Swanson. “La satisfacción del paciente es la medida más importante del éxito de la cirugía.”

Q. Why is retinol used in cellulite minimizing creams?

A. Many of the new cellulite minimizing creams contain retinol as the ingredient that is called out on the front packaging. Remember that when an ingredient is called out on the packaging, this is not a claim and implies no efficacy. It is only restating what is already disclosed on the ingredient listing. Review of several retinol-containing cellulite creams reveals that the ingredient is toward the end of the list indicating a lower concentration. Most retinol cellulite products also contain caffeine, which is a beta-adrenergic stimulator. Remember that beta-adrenergic stimulation is thought to increase lipolysis.
Several articles appear in the dermatologic literature advocating the use of tretinoin to treat cellulite. It may be that this literature is being used to support the use of retinol, a distant retinoid relative of tretinoin. Remember that the retinol and caffeine in these products is placed in a carefully formulated moisturizing vehicle. It may be that much of the consumer-perceived improved tactile properties is vehicle derived. Clinical testing is required to provide more insight.
