We Have 2 Upcoming Cosmetic Days for October 2012!

If you have enjoyed savings from Cosmetic Day in the past then you’ll be excited to know that the providers of Dermatology Associates of Atlanta will be having two for the month of October 2012. Our Cosmetic Days will be held October 10th and October 31st, 2012. Patients can take advantage of specials on facial fillers, cosmetic injectables, cosmetic laser treatment, skincare products, and more.

Patients who would like to restore lost volume or treat facial wrinkles around the nose and mouth may benefit from facial fillers such as

Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Radiesse® w

ith results lasting up to 12 months. If you are looking for longer-lasting results, you may consider Sculptra® facial filler as it can last up to two years. Sculptra® is a safe and effective FDA approved synthetic material composed of poly-L-lactic acid. This facial filler has a high success rate in providing a more youthful appearance in patients who have lost facial volume over time because it actually ignites the body’s natural ability to produce collagen. During our Cosmetic Days, patients can receive $100 dollars off a vial of Sculptra®.

If you’re looking to rejuvenate your appearance by eliminating fine lines, wrinkles, texture irregularities, and other surface imperfections, then you may consider Fraxel® or DOT™ laser treatment. These lasers are used in the most precise way to resurface the skin removing old damaged skin, rebuilding collagen and making new skin clear and smooth. However, with over 15 medical-grade lasers, we also offer treatments to accomplish hair removal, skin tightening, tattoo removal, spider vein elimination, acne and scar repair, and more.We are also offering $75 off any one cosmetic laser treatment over $250. Now is the time to take advantage of laser services before the holiday rush.

Improper Usage of Ugg Boots Causing Foot Fungus

Dermatology is an all-encompassing field of medicine including treatment and maintenance of the skin, hair, and nails.  In an effort to honor the “toe” portion of our promise to provide “head to toe skin care”, Dermatology Associates of Atlanta would like to warn you about a recent development surrounding the popular Ugg® boots, and how they could be contributing to foot fungus.  People buy Uggs®  because they are warm and cozy, but wearing them all the time, especially without socks, may compromise health in the long run.

Many Ugg®  wearers habitually forego wearing socks.  The wool lining is nice and warm without socks, right?  While they may seem warm enough, foot fungus is more prevalent without socks because the boot’s wool interior and thick suede exterior will make feet sweat.  Without socks to help wick the sweat, the wool absorbs and holds the moisture (providing the perfect environment for fungus formation and bacteria growth).  Without a barrier to protect the wearer’s foot, they are then exposed to the bacteria and possible funguses in the shoe’s interior with every subsequent use.

The most common type of foot fungus is athlete’s feet, which is caused by a fungus called Trichophyton.  Some other skin conditions of the feet may include: contact dermatitis, allergic reaction, eczema, psoriasis, yeast infections, toenail fungus, or bacterial infections.  As previously stated, the fungus and bacteria that cause these conditions usually grow in warm, dark, and moist places.  Because these conditions are easy to create, socks are a worthwhile investment.

DAA does not blame the makers of Uggs®  for their comfortable boots causing foot fungus.  In fact, the skin conditions mentioned above can happen in any shoe if feet are not properly protected.  Our dermatologists suggest always wearing socks, and not wearing footwear that doesn’t allow feet to breathe for long periods of time.  If you’ve been experiencing foot conditions such as redness, rash, scaling, itching, cracked skin, or thick and discolored toenails it’s a good idea to seek medical attention to determine the proper treatment method.
