Spider Veins

For adult woman, there is a 50 percent chance that you may incur unsightly spider veins. Identified as thin veins – red, blue, or purple in color, spider veins lie close to the surface of the skin and usually appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles. There are various reasons for how and why spider veins may arise. For example, reasons can apply to heredity, pregnancy, and other events that cause hormonal shifts. Weight gains, occupations or activities that require prolonged standing or sitting, and the use of some medications can also contribute to spider veins. Luckily, Dr. Lyos can perform a short procedure known as sclerotherapy to alleviate the unsightly veins. While the procedure is efficient, it may take one or two more procedures to completely get rid of the veins.

Adult Acne and You

There are various reasons for why a condition may continue to persist after an individual exhausts every facial toner and skin treatment on the market. Although the precise reason for adult acne remains unknown, current research is finding that acne is prevalent when:

  • bacteria builds up within the hair follicles
  • an oil-releasing blockage develops from the sebaceous gland
  • enlarged sebaceous oil glands yield the overproduction of oil

Adult acne is usually caused by hormones that have developed, or subsisted within the adult for years. Additional factors can include side effects from certain medications, cosmetic products with high oil contents, excessive sweating, stress, pregnancy, and menopause.

Blockages of bacteria and oil can build, leading to adult acne problems including pimples, inflammation, cysts, and scarring. Adult acne most often appears on the face; however, it can appear in additional places such as the arms, legs, buttocks, and torso.

Adult acne can be problematic simply because the condition has continued for so long. Since the face is such a central place to interact with people, it is important that one keeps their acne under control.

Science of Eyebrow Lifts By Dr. Lyos

Eyes communicate so much within an interaction. Many say they’re the window to our souls. Additionally, eyebrows are an essential feature to the beauty of your eyes. Years of facial animation result in sagging of the eyebrows and the formation of deep furrows between the eyebrows and along the forehead. The result is a tired or sad, stressed-out look. When the eyebrows are elevated, the tired look disappears completely; you look youthful and refreshed. Recently, Dr. Lyos has taken advantage of an astounding breakthrough in the realm of facial surgery, as he can elevate the eyebrows and forehead while using minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. Eyebrow lifts involve using an endoscope, a viewing instrument that allows the procedure to be performed with minimal incisions. The procedure produces smoother forehead skin, a younger and refreshed look, and a more animated appearance. For all of your facial surgery needs Dr. Lyos is the surgeon for you.
