    ACNE - Basic Understanding

    Acne is the bane of existence for nearly 17 million people
    who suffer from some form of acne.

    Acne is not only embarrassing but also causes psychosocial
    effects such as: anxiety, depression, inferiority,
    insecurity, frustration and self-consciousness.

    Acne can be in the fo ...

  • Cellulite: Can We Really Get Rid of It?
    It has been the bane of every women's existence since the dawn of time
    - the affliction known as cellulite. We all have it to varying degrees,
    and it seems to get worse as we get older in many cases. So, should we
    just resign ourselves to the fact that it is here to stay, or is there a way to fight and get rid of cellulite?

    Thankfully, the answer is yes, we can fight cellulite, or at least the
    appearance of cellulite, through several therapeutic treatments that
    are available on the market today. It is not, however, a one-time deal. Once you stop the treatments, the ce ...

  • Hair Loss Factors
    What are the factors that contribute to hair loss? I know I have friends and relative that have suffered hair loss, but they are so different. As I checked into it farther, I found that there are a lot of factors that can contribute to hair loss. Some are natural and others are not caused by natural factors. It seems that there are as many hair loss factors as there are individuals. However, there are some main factors that contribute to a majority of cases.


    Perhaps the most common factor in hair loss is genetics. Likely when you hear the words hair loss, you think of male pattern ...

  • Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD)

    What is Canine Hip Dysplasia?

    Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) is a congenital disease that mainly affects large breed dogs. The word "dysplasia" means improper growth. Hip dysplasia can be described as a faulty or abnormal development of the hip. In CHD, the hip becomes loose and wobbly, eventually leading to a form of arthritis which is commonly referred to Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD). The degree of lameness that occurs is usually dependent upon the extent of arthritic changes in the hip joint. So too do environmental conditions such as amount of physical exercise, and weight gain co ...

  • Breast Enhancement Pills - Do They Work?

    According to American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) statistics, last year, 280,401 breast augmentation surgeries were performed in the US. The FDAs Analysis of the Study of Mentor Saline Breast Implants goes on to report that as a result of their surgeries, forty-three percent of these augmentation patients experienced at least one complication within three years. The most frequent complaints included wrinkling, asymmetry, sagging or scarring of the breast, nipple changes and the need for additional surgery.

  • Melanin: Aging of the Skin and Skin Cancer

    "Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is responsible for 90% of the visible signs of aging on the skin of whites," says Dr. Michael J. Martin, former Assistant Clinical Professor in the Dept. of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at University of California, San Francisco.

    Blacks' skin, however, ages much slower.

    Why are most dark-skinned blacks protected from harmful UV rays? Because compared to whites, blacks possess more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.

    Melanin

    Melanin offers protection against UV rays for blacks and other dark-skinned people. Conversely, fair-sk ...
