ASK DR. V...

Q. “Is there anything I can do for the dark circles under my eyes? I am a healthy 43 year old man, but I keep getting told I look tired!”

A. Under eye bags or dark circles can interrupt your ability to look bright, youthful and aware.  Luckily, there are solutions.  One is surgery to remove the fat pockets under the eye, which results in pain, bruising and downtime.  A non-surgical option is FDA approved dermal fillers that are injected in the tear trough (area under the eye).  Dermal fillers Restylane®, Perlane® and Boletaro help restore the youthful appearance of the under eye area. This procedure can be a quick and easy alternative to surgery with fantastic results. Always consult with a properly trained physician or health care professional.

Dry shampoo has actually been around for centuries, but has enjoyed a recent resurgence of popularity because many beauty experts recommend washing your hair less frequently to keep it healthy. Dry shampoo can be used in between washes if you’re trying to lengthen the life of your blow-out, for example, when you’re dashing to the office without time for a shower, or even in situations when  water isn’t readily available. Aveeno® Pure Renewal dry shampoo, it is sulfate free, lightly fragranced, cleans all hair types and safe for color treated hair. Available at mass retailers, $8

Regular Energy product consumption has skyrocketed in this country, unfortunately it can lead to unintended side effects and health problems. Consuming something high in sugar, carbonation and unknown additives and stimulants is not healthy.  Many people have experienced headaches, anxiety, irregular heartbeat, a “sped up” jittery  feeling, or worse illness such as heart problems, blood pressure spikes, ulcers, nausea and vomiting. I recommend that if you are seeking that boost of energy, find alternatives. Exercise regularly and eat balanced meals. Be mindful of what you are put into your body, get plenty of rest and enjoy doing all the right things which brings energy to your life. 

BODYtopic

It seems like every couple of days there is an online deal for laser hair removal. Here are 5 important tips when choosing this service:
1. Please remember this process requires a series of treatments. Everyone is a little different, so there is range in the number of treatments required and it is very likely, even with a highly skilled technician that you may need to return for touch ups.
2. Check and choose a certified technician.
3. Make sure there is a doctor onsite for emergencies and that an appropriate doctor reviewed your health history. A skilled medical professional needs to look at your medication, history of various disorders (i.e. thyroid) to make sure you have a successful and healthy treatment.
4. Be careful, many locations only use a doctor in the role of a 'Medical Director,' allowing them to purchase the equipment. But they do not necessarily oversee the treatment or review health history.
5. If you are a blonde or red head (natural), you should be informed that the treatments do not work as well. Due to lack of melanin in the hair follicle it becomes more maintenance than a permanent treatment.

FACEfirst

Are sinus problems plaguing you this cold and allergy season? Try a Neti pot to reduce the congestion in your nasal passages. Try rinsing your nasal passages twice a day with a saline solution to flush out pollen and other irritants. Put a saline solution (a 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 cup warm distilled water) into a neti pot, a container with a spout that allows  you to pour water directly into your nose. The solution should fill your nasal cavity and spill out the other nostril when you tilt your head at about a 45 degree angle. Gently blow your nose afterward to clear  the passages. This can be done several times a day when needed. 

UNDERfoot

What girl does not love heels! But heels are not the best for you from a foot health standpoint, and are among one of the most blamed to cause bunions. It is said three out of four people wear shoes that are too small and ill-fitting. Shoes can irritate, aggravate, even accelerate bunions. Wearing sensible shoes would be sensible but when that is not an option the calming, meditative moves of yoga could be just the answer for your sore, achy bunion, as some of their techniques can strengthen the feet and relieve years of pressure and strain from ill-fitting shoes. Stretching the calves and strengthening the abductor halluris – a prominent foot muscle – can almost always slow the growth of these bony bumps. . Bunion sufferers should perform stretches that draw the big toe away from the others, and should also incorporate standing poses that retrain the arches of the foot to balance on their own.
