how to read the new label on sunscreen

New sunscreen labels will make it easier for you to make an informed choice on sunscreen.

A mix of old and new labels will remain on the shelf for a period of time because the FDA has allowed a phase-in of the labeling requirements and retailers can choose to sell remaining stock of older labeled product.

UVB rays are the ones that cause sunburns. A good way to remember this is UVB = UVBURN!  A product labeled with SPF (sun protection factor) minimizes UVB (sunburn) rays. The higher the SPF, the more protection against UVB rays. Watch for an SPF of at least 15.

UVB and UVA rays in combination create skin cancer and skin aging issues. A product labeled BROAD SPECTRUM will help minimize both UVB and UVA rays.

Look for a sunscreen that is labeled both    BROAD SPECTRUM and SPF.

breast implants turn 50

Breast implants have been around for 50 years. While originally made popular by Las Vegas dancers, now the typical patient is a mother whose breasts have changed after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The most popular implant currently is gel implants (which look and feel more natural than the saline version).

Small-breasted personalities like Kate Hudson and Nichole Richie have opted for an implant that reflects a more natural look. However, the important part of the equation in breast augmentation is to see a plastic surgeon like Dr. Jack Peterson in Topeka, that listens to what the patient is looking for and custom fits the implant to their body size and desired size results.

is botox the one for my 1's?

Botox can give you noticeable improvement whether you have one frown line between the brows (1's) or two (11's) or even three (111's).

Years of squinting, concentrating, frowning (or scowling at your children!) cause your skin to crease.  As time passes, the skin becomes less elastic and those frown lines remain, even when your muscles are not contracting.

Botox relaxes muscle activity that causes those lines to form.  Click here to read more about Botox with Dr. Jack Peterson.

what are men having done?

So what types of surgery are men having done? According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2011 rhinoplasty, which is a nose job, was the most common surgery followed by eye lid surgery, liposuction, breast reduction ( also called gynecomastia surgery)  and face lifts.


Minimally invasive procedures for last year? Botox is the overwhelming number one followed by laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, soft tissue fillers and chemical peels.
