Did you know that the Harry Chapin Food Bank is Long Island’s first<br />
food bank? This hunger organization was founded in 1980 by the late<br />
singer, songwriter and social activist, Harry Chapin. Today, the food<br />
bank offers nutritional food and support services for over 540 food pantries,<br />
soup kitchens, emergency shelters, childcare programs, disability<br />
organizations, veterans’ services and more. Each year, they distribute<br />
more than 6 million pounds<br />
of healthy food to Long Island<br />
Cares’ operations. In<br />
addition to supplying food,<br />
they also participate in food<br />
drives, hunger education,<br />
job training, kids’ cafes and<br />
mobile outreach vans. If you<br />
would like to volunteer, call<br />

Good Advice<br />
The latest cosmetic surgery procedures will have you looking hot this summer.<br />
by Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D.<br />
Diet and exercise are the best ways to help stay healthy and<br />
keep in shape, but supplementing a healthy lifestyle with<br />
cosmetic surgery procedures will leave you in the best shape that<br />
you can be in…healthy and beautiful, both inside and out!<br />
Breast augmentation, breast lifts and breast<br />
reductions provide beautiful, naturallooking<br />
results. Combining these<br />
procedures with liposuction, tummy tuck, body lift, facelift,<br />
eyelid lift or other non-surgical services is most effective.<br />
Regardless of which procedures you select, you can turn back<br />
the hands of time!<br />
The hottest surgical techniques to make you look younger<br />
include eyelid lifts, facelifts, deeper laser resurfacing, and rhinoplasty. The eyelid lift<br />
only takes about an hour and can give a very youthful appearance to both the upper<br />
and lower lids. A facelift, whether it is a mini, lower, or full lift can take years off of<br />
facial appearance. A facelift is a great way to pull up the excessive skin, rejuvenate<br />
the neck and lift the jowls. Mini, or modified facelifts are often performed on much<br />
younger patients before the signs of aging are advanced. Overall, the natural look<br />
is of utmost importance. Combining laser resurfacing procedures and rhinoplasty<br />
is effective in completing a full facial rejuvenation. In addition, injections work well<br />
to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles, such as Botox Cosmetic ® and Juvederm,<br />
coupled with non-surgical skin tightening and laser hair removal to ensure<br />
phenomenal results.<br />
If you are struggling with those last few inches, Body Contouring can be the<br />
answer. The most common body contouring technique is liposuction - and by<br />
<br />
<br />
Reclaim your youthful look and<br />
regain your self confidence.<br />
Now is the time to have that cosmetic<br />
surgery procedure that will have<br />
heads turning.<br />
*Long Island Press<br />
utilizing the latest and most advanced products, your recovery is fast. The newer<br />
technique of liposuction, SmartLipo MPX TM , is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms,<br />
breasts, “bra fat,” abdomen, “love handles”, “saddle bags,” inner and outer thighs<br />
and knees. It is an excellent complement to conventional liposuction, resulting in<br />
less swelling and a quicker recovery than older, traditional<br />
methods of liposuction. Also consider the newest “fat-freezing”<br />
technique, ZELTIQ TM to get rid of those “love handles” or<br />
abdominal fat.<br />
Another avenue to consider is having a Tummy Tuck<br />
(Abdominoplasty). Especially effective post-pregnancy or after<br />
significant weight loss, this procedure improves abdominal<br />
contouring and can have you in great shape in a very short<br />
period of time. Abdominoplasty is very effective in reducing or eliminating stretch<br />
marks, skin excess and for correcting weakening of the abdominal muscles.<br />
Now is the best time to get into your best possible shape and show off a younger<br />
and more vibrant you!<br />

Breast Surgery Combined with Tummy Tuck and/or Liposuction<br />
by Charlotte Rhee, MD, F.A.C.S., P.C.<br />
Many of my patients come to me seeking help with the changes that<br />
can occur after childbirth. Following childbirth, a woman’s breast can<br />
grow to uncomfortable proportions or just the opposite can happen. A<br />
woman’s breast can actually lose volume and shrink, resulting in the<br />
breast appearing “deflated”.<br />
Additionally, a large number of women come to me seeking help with<br />
the post partum changes of their abdomen. During pregnancy the skin<br />
and abdominal wall muscles are stretched. Following childbirth, the abdomen can protrude<br />
Good Advice<br />
Many of my patients<br />
who have breast<br />
surgery also have other<br />
procedures performed at<br />
the same time. This<br />
allows for one surgery<br />
and one recovery<br />
advertisement<br />
and the skin can be loose or sag. In some cases, the abdominal muscles can<br />
be so weakened that the individual may look like she is still pregnant. Despite<br />
daily workouts including sit ups and crunches, a tummy tuck may be needed<br />
to restore these muscles.<br />
Breast Reduction<br />
Women with very large pendulous breasts may experience varied medical<br />
problems including back and neck pain. Also, the weight of large breasts can<br />
cause the bra straps to dig into the shoulders leaving groove markings. Large<br />
breasts get in the way of physical activities such as running, making exercise<br />
and weight loss very difficult if not impossible. Breast reduction (reduction<br />
mammaplasty), is a surgical procedure which makes breasts smaller.<br />
There are many different breast reduction techniques. The more traditional method (inverted T-<br />
scar) leaves the breasts with a vertical, long horizontal scar (along the breast crease). “I utilize the<br />
Lejour technique, which leaves the breast with a single vertical incision (lollipop scar) and, in my<br />
opinion, with a rounder more natural appearing breast and a better cosmetic result.” Breast reductions<br />
are performed as an outpatient procedure and are covered by insurance.<br />
Breast Augmentation<br />
Women who come to me seeking breast enlargement have very similar goals to those seeking<br />
breast reduction. Both groups of women want to have breasts that are proportional to their<br />
body size with the most natural result possible. In certain situations, a breast lift is also needed<br />
to tighten lax skin. The laxity can be the result of pregnancy or weight loss. When a breast<br />
lift is needed, I utilize the lollipop scar technique. A breast lift procedure is very similar to a<br />
breast reduction. The only difference is that with a breast reduction, breast tissue is removed.<br />
Combined Breast/Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures.<br />
Many of my patients who have breast surgery also have other procedures performed at the<br />
same time. This allows for one surgery and one recovery. The most common combined procedures<br />
performed by Dr. Rhee are breast surgery, whether it is a breast<br />
reduction or augmentation, combined with tummy tuck, also known as<br />
abdominoplasty. For those patients who desire breast augmentation together<br />
with a tummy tuck, I am able to place the breast implants through the<br />
tummy tuck incision, leaving the breasts without any scars.<br />
Liposuction is also commonly performed at the same time. Despite diet and<br />
exercise, certain areas of the body are prone to carry excess fat. For these<br />
areas, liposuction can help. The most common areas for liposuction are the<br />
love handles (upper hip area) and thighs.<br />
Patients who have combined procedures do surprisingly well. In addition to<br />
having the benefit of just one recovery process, there can also be a significant<br />
savings in price.<br />

Finding Balancing In Health & Wellness<br />
by Debi Honorof<br />
Women today are busier than ever—working, caring for our children and our<br />
parents, taking classes, joining boards of community organizations—and often,<br />
taking care of ourselves falls to the bottom of the list. Eating right, exercising,<br />
and getting regular checkups? Who has the time? We’re already stressed to the<br />
limit, and can’t possibly fit one more thing into our busy schedules! But there are<br />
ways, and some local experts tell us how.<br />
Debi Silber, MS, RD, WHC, “The Mojo Coach,” helps us find way<br />
to incorporate exercise into our daily lives.<br />
We take care of everyone else, and never seem<br />
to find the time for ourselves, so I suggest scheduling<br />
appointments to exercise, just as we would<br />
schedule appointments for meetings, haircuts<br />
and doctors. Morning is best because, as the<br />
day progresses, more things get in the way. If<br />
exercise is not a priority, it will get bounced off<br />
the list. It’s not necessary—or even best—to exercise<br />
in one shot. Exercise in short bursts better<br />
boosts our metabolism, so fit exercise into your<br />
daily activities by finding ways to be more active.<br />
Take the stairs instead of the elevator and park<br />
your car farther away. Rather than sitting in a<br />
chair while you’re on the phone, pace your office<br />
or kitchen. Walk that message down the hall to your colleague rather than send<br />
it in an email. It’s OK to conserve gas, but don’t conserve your energy. Don’t wait<br />
until things that need to be brought upstairs pile up downstairs. Instead, carry<br />
things upstairs all day long. Think of young children. They don’t walk. They run,<br />
they glide, they skip, they bounce, they never run out of energy!<br />
Create an exercise program you enjoy and you’ll definitely see results. I’ve<br />
been in this business for 20 years and the number one excuse I hear is “I don’t<br />
have time for exercise!” We’re all busy! I have four kids, four dogs, and a full time<br />
practice, and I always fit exercise into my busy schedule. When I travel, I bring<br />
DVDs with me so that I can exercise in my hotel room.<br />
As we get older, exercise becomes an important way to reduce our risk for<br />
chronic illness, it helps us to lose weight, get a better nights’ sleep, helps us to<br />
shape and tone our bodies, decreases symptoms of depression, and increases our<br />
independence. It increases our confidence level and our overall quality of life.<br />

Services at North Shore-LIJ Health System, urges women to take<br />
care of themselves.<br />
Top 5 Tips for a Healthier Tomorrow<br />
1. De-Stress: Stress is needed for “flight or fright” situations, but when we<br />
hold on to our stress, it becomes a problem. The stress hormones released cause<br />
inflammation in our bodies. Chronic stress and<br />
continued inflammation cause 85-90% of human<br />
illnesses. Situations in life cannot always<br />
be changed, but how we deal with them can<br />
make the difference. A positive attitude, plus<br />
rest and relaxation techniques like meditation,<br />
breathing exercises, and yoga can help.<br />
2. Eat Right: No dieting! Proper nutrition and<br />
everything in moderation is the key. Remember<br />
the “rainbow” and “color your plate” with colorful<br />
fruits and vegetables to get all the benefits<br />
of a healthy meal. Include whole grains, nuts,<br />
legumes and good fats. Enjoy what you eat and<br />
relish the flavor!<br />
3. Keep Moving: The word “exercise” can be very formal and may scare people<br />
away. So just keep moving—running, swimming, walking, and lift weights (not<br />
heavy) to keep your muscles in shape. Even lifting during household chores will<br />
help. Stretch for flexibility and do balance exercises with an exercise ball or with<br />
yoga, pilates or tai chi! Recommended walking time is 30 minutes per day, 5<br />
days per week. It can also be broken down to 10 minutes 3 times per day.<br />
4. Cut Negative Habits: Don’t smoke is the mantra! Any exposure to smoke<br />
has detrimental effects on our health. Grape juice is great, but if you would like<br />
a drink, limit it to one drink per day (12 fl. oz. of beer, 4-5 fl. oz. of wine or 1¼<br />
fl. oz. of liquor).<br />
5. Check-Up!: Make appointments for your annual visits and take the tests<br />
necessary for your age. Visit womenshealth.gov and download or print their<br />
screening tests and immunization guidelines for women.<br />
For more information, visit northshorelij.staywellsolutionsonline.com.<br />
Vincent Carvelli, BS, RTS, CPT, president of the Academy of Applied<br />
Personal Training Education (AAPTE), advises exercise as a<br />
way to balance stress and improve health.<br />
Emotional stress can result in a long list of symptoms, including tension headaches,<br />
high blood pressure, muscle and joint pain, premature coronary artery<br />
disease, heart disease, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, increased body fat, arthritis,<br />
depression, and anxiety, to name a few. Aerobic exercise has been shown<br />
to aid in the management of stress and its related manifestations. The question<br />
is “how much exercise is enough?”<br />
Exercise frequency is often misunderstood. It is not uncommon for individuals<br />
to say they “don’t have time for it.” It is also very common for exercisers to do<br />
too little or too much. So when looking for balance, start with balancing your<br />
priorities. Your physiological and psychological health are undoubtedly the basis<br />
of how you feel and should be a priority; clearly exercise can help improve them<br />
respectively.<br />
The minimal time commitment required for exercise to yield significant stress-<br />

Good Advice<br />
<br />
by Richard Linchitz, MD<br />
The first and best way to achieve and maintain optimal hormonal<br />
function is to follow the previous five pillars of diet, supplements,<br />
exercise, stress management and detoxification. The perfect diet<br />
will help to maximize healthy hormone production late into life.<br />
Supplements can provide the nutritional precursors to hormone<br />
and herbal stimulants to endocrine glands including the pituitary,<br />
the thyroid, the adrenals and the sex glands. Appropriate exercise<br />
has been shown to stimulate hormonal production as well. Stress<br />
can have major effects on hormone production and managing stress<br />
Bio-identical hormones<br />
can provide the key to<br />
achieving and preserving<br />
vibrant health well into<br />
our advanced years.<br />
effectively can be crucial. Removing toxins, which are often endocrine<br />
disruptors, from the body, will allow the endocrine glands to<br />
function at optimal efficiency.<br />
However, eventually, there will come a time when the delicate balance<br />
of our hormones begins to falter. Bio-identical hormones can<br />
provide the key to achieving and preserving vibrant health well into<br />
our advanced years.<br />
Bio-identical hormones are formulated to be identical, molecule for molecule, to our<br />
natural bodily hormones. They are not patentable because they are natural to our body.<br />
There is therefore no interest by the pharmaceutical companies to fund studies to show<br />
they are effective. In fact, pharmaceutical companies see them as a potential threat to<br />
their profits and actively campaign against them (including petitioning the FDA to prevent<br />
their sale and relentlessly marketing to doctors to convince them that bio-identicals<br />
are worthless and even dangerous).<br />
This is not to say that bio-identicals are perfect or are without potential dangers. In truth,<br />
although there are a number of studies showing their effectiveness and safety (including<br />
a recent large-scale meta-analysis), there is not an extensive body of large-scale studies as<br />
there is for the conventional HRT’s. However, logically, the bio-identicals should be safer<br />
than the synthetic hormones because the body already has enzyme pathways which work<br />
perfectly with the bio-identicals. We are also able to prescribe precise, individualized dosages<br />
so that physiologically normal levels can be maintained.<br />
It is always important when evaluating a patient for hormone balancing,<br />
to look at all the hormones of the body that interact in a<br />
perfect symphony of function. In addition to sex hormones, we also<br />
attempt to balance thyroid, adrenal and pituitary hormones.<br />
Although bio-identical hormone balancing seems to be more accepted<br />
by women, testosterone optimization can profoundly improve<br />
a man’s quality of life. It can improve cardiovascular health (as<br />
opposed to synthetic testosterones which can cause heart troubles), as well as improve<br />
strength and muscle mass. Hormone balancing may also reduce body fat, improve bone<br />
health, and help with blood sugar management. It can even relieve depression!<br />

reducing and physiological benefits might surprise you. It is recommended that<br />
aerobic exercise be performed 3-5 days per week for approximately 20-60 minutes.<br />
Exercise requires some degree of physical exertion — a sense of your body<br />
being challenged by placing it in a state of sustainable effort relative to the<br />
degree of intensity—but this doesn’t mean that you must be in pain for exercise<br />
to be effective.<br />
Aerobic exercise works by increasing the amount of oxygen carried in your<br />
blood. Your heart muscle responds by contracting faster and harder. The small<br />
blood vessels (capillaries) expand and deliver more oxygen to your muscles while<br />
carrying away waste products, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Endorphins<br />
(often associated with the “runners’ high”) are naturally- produced, feelgood<br />
pain suppressors that increase in the blood stream and promote a heightened<br />
sense of well-being. As your cardio-respiratory system adapts to aerobic<br />
exercise, you’ll feel healthier, with a stronger heart.<br />
To realize the benefits of exercise, have realistic expectations and set reasonable<br />
goals. Combined with healthy eating and appropriate caloric consumption,<br />
aerobic exercise can help ease feelings of depression, anxiety, promote feelings<br />
relaxation and aid in the support of a healthier immune system. Aerobic exercise<br />
may also reduce the risk of many health conditions, including heart disease,<br />
high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, stroke, certain types of cancer and<br />
can increase high-density lipoprotein (hdl) cholesterol and lower low-density<br />
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Weight-bearing aerobic exercises, such as walking,<br />
jogging, and running reduce the risk of osteopenia and the progression to osteoporosis.<br />
Recent research has shown that at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise<br />
three days a week seems to reduce cognitive decline in older adults. With all the<br />
benefits associated with aerobic exercise, make yourself a priority at least 20<br />
minutes, 3 times a week … your mind and body will be happy you did! Before<br />
beginning any form of exercise, be sure to get medical clearance.<br />

We are “Baby Boomers.”<br />
We are the “Sandwich<br />
Generation.” We<br />
are overwhelmed. We<br />
take care of our children.<br />
We help to take<br />
care of our folks. Our parents are living<br />
longer. With this comes<br />
a strong likelihood that<br />
some help with daily<br />
tasks becomes necessary.<br />
Oftentimes, it is not<br />
Mom or Dad who recognizes<br />
the need, but we,<br />
their children. Calls for<br />
help come with greater<br />
frequency. T.V. dinners<br />
have replaced more nutritious<br />
meals. Mom or<br />
Dad seem sullen. They are lonely. We<br />
long to do all we can for those who<br />
did all they could for us. But we work<br />
outside the home more than full-time.<br />

In fact, having<br />
a non-medical companion<br />
makes life safer<br />

Are you managing<br />
your debt effectively?<br />
Less Is More<br />
The less credit cards<br />
you have, the better.<br />
Multiple cards do not<br />
help keep spending<br />
down. It may seem like this since many<br />
times people get the bill<br />
and it doesn’t seem high<br />
but take a moment to add<br />
up spending on multiple<br />
cards and it is often much<br />
larger than you realize.<br />
Avoid Store Cards<br />
Be aware of the alluring nature of store<br />
credit cards. They offer initial discounts,<br />
but the interest rates on those cards can<br />
be the highest allowed by the law.<br />
Get Help<br />
Seek out professionals to assist you before<br />
you get into a situation you can’t<br />
get out of. Talk to accountants and lawyers<br />
and find a certified professional to<br />
assist you not only to get out of debt,<br />
but to make good long terms decisions.<br />
Do your due diligence and meet with<br />
professionals face-to-face.<br />
Stay Organized<br />
The key to not letting things go is to<br />
make sure that you are aware of when<br />
bills are due. Get a large desk calendar<br />
and write down when bills are due and<br />
also when you’ve spent money. Doing<br />
so will help you keep track<br />
of due dates and spending<br />

a variety of<br />

Your Life<br />
Work-Life Balance in a Changing World<br />
by Judy Martin<br />
150 women are mulling around at Carlyle on the Green at Bethpage State<br />
Park. They’re there to learn how to make better choices about their health, at the<br />
American Cancer Society’s Choose You Luncheon. Work-Life Balance is a<br />
common thread of conversation.<br />
“I think it’s a blend more than a balance,” says Neeta Shah<br />
M.D., about the concept of work-life balance. Dr. Shah<br />
is the Vice President of Women’s Health Services for<br />
North Shore LIJ Health System and the keynote for<br />
the conference. She shares about how keeping<br />
ones health in check, can lower the risk of cancer.<br />
But the message is just part of the bigger<br />
conversation about the work-life merge.<br />
“When you try to separate the two, you<br />
get frustrated on both ends. It’s important<br />
to blend or weave them through the day,”<br />
Dr. Shah tells me, adding “You might<br />
need to do something that requires<br />
more time at work on some days, but<br />
sometimes family is the priority.”<br />
The Changing State<br />
of the Workforce<br />
Dr. Shah has definite opinions on<br />
the “work-life blend,” as she calls it.<br />
A bona fide member of what has been<br />
called The Sandwich Generation, she’s<br />
a mother of three children who are living<br />
at home under the same roof with<br />
her in-laws. “Family is important,” she<br />
says, “but it’s about quality of time, not<br />
quantity.” It’s not an easy recipe when<br />
you’re juggling so many things at once.<br />
An estimated 20 million individuals nationwide<br />
are caring for both children and<br />
aging parents at the same time. But it’s only<br />
one of many factors elevating discussion about Judy Martin<br />
work-life balance in the media and catapulting photos by<br />
Fran Fitzgerald<br />
it into an important debate in the workplace.<br />
Economic and social structures around work and<br />
family are being challenged. Women now comprise half<br />
the workforce, dual-income families struggle with childcare,<br />
the economy skates on a dance floor of thin ice as it tries<br />
to recover from recession, many unemployed workers are taking a<br />
shot at entrepreneurship, Generation Y has a louder voice in the marketplace,<br />
the workforce is aging and technology has thrown a monkey wrench into our<br />
already overloaded stream of daily information.<br />
The corporate machine is also confronted with new tests. It must attract and<br />
retain skilled talent, often without the monetary incentive to keep them<br />
engaged. And global competition is picking up in a ferocious way.<br />
Some companies are looking more closely at best practices<br />
to enhance the well-being of their employees. That<br />
means addressing the issue of workplace flexibility,<br />
information overload and stress reduction.<br />
The Call form Flexibility<br />
in the Work-Life Merge<br />
“With the transformation in the workforce,<br />
we began to grapple with how to<br />
talk about what was happening and “balance”<br />
became the objective,” says Cali<br />
Yost, CEO of Work+Life Fit Inc.<br />
When she entered the workforce in<br />
1987, there was no talk of work-life<br />
initiatives because it was pretty simple,<br />
Ms. Yost says. “Here’s work. Here<br />
are the other parts of your life. Go<br />
have a danish.”<br />
The need to manage the way work<br />
fits into our lives is both a business<br />
and personal imperative, she adds.<br />
“If individuals are overwhelmed and<br />
stressed, the research categorically<br />
demonstrates that everyone loses—<br />
from shareholders to the employee.”<br />
Ms. Yost says work-life flexibility is a<br />
mutually-beneficial strategy in which<br />
individuals and businesses increasingly<br />
see value. Instead of organizations offering<br />
work-life initiatives as perks, she says,<br />
helping all employees (not just women)<br />
manage their “work-life fit,” can help a company<br />
through crisis, expand client coverage<br />
without burnout, reduce the need for company<br />
real estate and contribute to the over all well-being<br />
of the workforce—especially in handling the stress<br />
caused by an ever- changing world.<br />
Work-Life Stress and Finances<br />
A 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found<br />
that “36% of workers reported experiencing regular work stress and nearly half<br />

Good Advice<br />
The aging process, if you haven’t noticed, has a wear-and-tear effect on<br />
our skin and our bodies. As we enter our forties and early fifties the jaw line<br />
and neck begin to loosen, creating jowls, neck laxity, vertical bands in the<br />
neck, and that much dreaded “turkey neck.” In recent years we have<br />
become intolerant of these consequences, and more of us are seeking to<br />
rewind the clock and revitalize our physical being.<br />
There were over 100,000 facelifts performed in 2009 according to the<br />
American Society of Plastic Surgeons, but the techniques used vary widely. There are corporate<br />
sponsored face lifts that are advertised on television claiming no downtime, trademarked lifts,<br />
mini lifts, S-lifts, MACS lifts, and deep plane lifts. This is all very confusing,<br />
and most of us do not understand the vital differences. How do you decide<br />
what procedure gives the best results, with minimal scarring and downtime,<br />
and the longest lasting results? This is the most commonly asked<br />
question by my patients.<br />
Short-incision “mini” face lifts, often the ones advertised on television,<br />
utilize an abbreviated incision to lift the skin. While the incision is small<br />
(hidden inside the ear) leaving minimal scarring, post-operative bleeding<br />
and bruising is a trademark of these procedures. They typically tighten only the skin and do<br />
not lift and tighten the muscles. As a result, they can leave patients with a windswept,<br />
“pulled” appearance, and the results last only three to five years, as the underlying facial muscles<br />
are not tightened. The facial muscles are the structure of the face, the beams that hold up<br />
the face lift if you will; and if not treated the lifted face will fall earlier than desired.<br />
Compared to “mini” face lifts, a deep plane face lift yields more effective, longer lasting<br />
results with my patient population. It is a procedure that lifts the skin and muscle as one unit,<br />
as well as lifting the mid-face and cheek area. On the downside, deep plane face lifts require<br />
a very large incision, resulting in more noticeable scarring which makes hiding your procedure<br />
virtually impossible.<br />
The most state-of-the-art face lift is a recently developed hybrid technique, that I call the<br />
The Future Lift: A New Hybrid Facelift Technique<br />
by Andrew A. Jacono, M.D., FACS<br />
The most state-of-the-art<br />
face lift is a recently<br />
developed hybrid technique,<br />
that I call the Future Lift.<br />
advertisement<br />
Future Lift, which fuses the optimal features of older-generation, short-incision “mini” face<br />
lifts with deep plane face lifts. Hybrid face lifts yield superior, natural looking results with minimal<br />
scarring and a shorter recovery (7-10 days). In addition, this lift restores volume to the<br />
cheekbones and smoothes nasolabial folds, resulting in a youthful, beautiful, heart- shaped<br />
face and authentic result that does not appear tight or “overdone.” For years, my patients<br />
have had to choose between better results or less scarring. With hybrid face lifts, they get the<br />
best of both worlds.<br />
The Future Lift uses a short incision, while lifting the facial tissue and muscles simultaneously<br />
so patients get the superior results of a deep plane face lift, combined with the minimal scarring<br />
of a “mini lift.” It is not only an option that delivers best-in-class<br />
results, but a procedure that offers longer-lasting results as well. The standard<br />
lifetime of a “mini lift” is between three to five years, but with newer<br />
hybrid face lifts results typically last 12 to 15 years.<br />
Just like a “mini face lift,” The Future Lift can be performed under local<br />
anesthesia in about an hour and a half. General anesthesia is not necessary,<br />
making this a safe procedure as well. Given the level of difficulty in<br />
performing this procedure, as a more detailed understanding of the anatomy<br />
is required, I encourage any patient considering this procedure to seek a physician who specializes<br />
in facial plastic surgery and possesses the level of expertise required to perform a hybrid<br />
face lift. As a committed facial plastic surgeon, I assure that all of my patients have a clear<br />
understanding of the different types of procedures. Any patient considering a face lift should<br />
be aware of all of their options.<br />

Your Life<br />
said a low salary has a significant impact of<br />
their stress level at work.”<br />
The statistics are not surprising to Huntington-based<br />
life and career coach Rita<br />
Maniscalco. “Technology is a contributor,<br />
but so is financial pressure,” says Maniscalco,<br />
who works with men and women in<br />
the changing work environment brought<br />
on by the recession, high unemployment,<br />
and the rising cost of living on Long Island.<br />
Some people have lost their jobs. But others,<br />
she says, see the writing on the wall<br />
and it pushes a lot of buttons in the family<br />
dynamic and on ones career path.<br />
Ms. Maniscalco says the pressure in the<br />
work-life merge is especially exacerbated by<br />
the financial need to provide for ones family.<br />
It’s stressful, she says, for the pocketbook<br />
and on the ego. “These men and women are<br />
essentially asking themselves ‘who am I,<br />
what do I have to offer in this new environment<br />
and how can I plug myself in?’”<br />
And those questions invariably impact<br />
their self-worth, says Ms. Maniscalco.<br />
“My response is to help them restore their<br />
confidence, to remind them they have the<br />
same gifts and experience even in a new<br />
economic environment. Their worth and<br />
value as a person hasn’t changed.”<br />
When value and worth are tied up in image<br />
or salary, any hiccup to those scenarios are bound to impact the work-life<br />
experience. Feeling “less than” is not a fleeting feeling that is left at work. It<br />
generally enters the family dynamic.<br />
Keeping Emotions Balance in Your Work Life<br />
“Whether you’re an entrepreneur or working for a big corporation, many are faced<br />
with the fear of not being able to excel,” says New York City/Huntington based psychologist<br />
Jennifer Howard, Ph.D.<br />
Dr. Howard says work-life balance is harder than ever before because our world has<br />
sped up and many are overworking to stay competitive, so the family dynamic suffers<br />
as well. Having to keep the job going and the household in shape, is challenging.<br />
“Balance is subject to time. Period.” Dr. Howard says you can strive for balance,<br />
but it’s more of a juggle. “If you are working on a project, it’s smart to set a length<br />
of time for the completion of that project. Then you can regroup and step away<br />
and arrange for more family time.”<br />
Dr. Howard suggests that we should be more compassionate with ourselves—and<br />
our families. “We don’t have to be so rigid all the time. Sometimes the house cleaning<br />
doesn’t happen when it’s supposed to. We all have our limits. If there’s nothing<br />
hairy growing in the kitchen, I’m in good shape.”<br />
When value and worth are tied up in<br />
image or salary, any hiccup to those<br />
scenarios are bound to impact the<br />
work-life experience.<br />
How do you have a life instead of just<br />
resting to go back to work? It’s about cutting<br />
ourselves some slack, says Dr. Howard.<br />
“It’s worth it to make choices; you can’t<br />
sustain a crazy pace or you’ll burn out.”<br />
Dr. Howard adds that we exist on many<br />
levels. To some people, for example, spirituality<br />
is crucial to their balance. “Spirituality<br />
can be nurturing. It feeds the body and such<br />
a deep connection can help sustain us and<br />
get us through those work-life humps.”<br />
Finding a practice that will sustain you<br />
through the rough patches and also build resilience<br />
is something that Dr. Shah believes is<br />
crucial to a healthy work-life blend.<br />
“Events happen in our life, but how we<br />
deal with it can change the outcome. You<br />
have to have a way to release the stress<br />
burdens that come along with the work-life<br />
burdens.”<br />
Dr. Shah says carrying such stress is not<br />
good for the soul but it’s especially bad<br />
for the body. According to Dr. Shah stress<br />
causes 80-85 percent of human illness and<br />
disease. Don’t carry discontent, Dr. Shah<br />
warns, “Move on, do not lift the pebble and<br />
make it into a mountain.” ❁<br />

Good Advice<br />
End Urinary Incontinence<br />
by Scott M. Press, M.D<br />
Scott M. Press, M.D. P.C.<br />
Certified by the American Board of Urology<br />
Fellow American College of Surgeons<br />
One of the few physicians on Long Island trained to do<br />
Interstim Sacral Nerve Neuromodulation therapy.<br />
So many of my patients are young mothers with young children.<br />
They have experienced the thrill and the agony of labor,<br />
enjoyed nursing, and endured diaper changes. Now as they<br />
enter the “soccer mom” years, life enters a new phase. Moms<br />
want to get to play and enjoy sports with their kids (ie. soccer,<br />
baseball, basketball, skiing etc.), they want to get to go to the<br />
gym, run, and exercise to get back to pre-baby shape.<br />
Unfortunately for many women in this situation, urinary control<br />
problems can rear their ugly head and deprive many women of this<br />
important time. Now there is something that can be done that with<br />
a small investment of time can restore urinary control forever.<br />
Stress incontinence is urine that leaks out during laughing,<br />
coughing, sneezing or vigorous activity. It can be caused by many<br />
factors but one of the most common is childbirth. After child birth<br />
many women complain that they leak urine when they laugh or cough. This<br />
unfortunately can progress to losing urine during physical activity such as playing<br />
with the kids, working out at the gym or while being intimate. The natural<br />
response to this leaking problem is to compensate by avoiding these activities.<br />
So many women in my practice complain that they just want to be able to go to<br />
the gym and go on the elliptical machine or kick box without worrying about<br />
leaving a wet spot on their workout clothes. This can be very embarrassing.<br />
Many women tell me that when they are chasing their kids around the house or<br />
Everyone wants to be<br />
able to laugh without<br />
worrying about needing<br />
to wear a pad.<br />
advertisement<br />
at soccer, they have to consciously think about holding in the urine otherwise an<br />
embarrassing stain can result. This has the effect of making women feel old<br />
before their time. Many women stop doing the things that active young women<br />
do and become sedentary. Everyone wants to be able to laugh without worrying<br />
about needing to wear a pad. Most women who come to my office are surprised<br />
that there are minimally invasive treatments available that can restore<br />
their urine control and allow them to get back to doing the things that they<br />
loved but had to put on hold.<br />
The state of the art in treatment of stress incontinence is the<br />
vaginal tape procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive with<br />
minimal recovery time. It is done as an outpatient and is performed<br />
so easily and quickly that I call it the 7 minute sling.<br />
Patient come in the morning for the procedure and are out before<br />
noon. When they leave, they are dry immediately. Soreness and<br />
downtime is so minimal that many women do not even require pain medication.<br />
What a surprise and thrill the first time a woman coughs and nothing leaks out.<br />
Women are back to their activities in no time. Of all the procedures that I do,<br />
this is the procedure that time and again I hear changed a patient’s life. Moms<br />
are returning to the gym and chasing their children free of any worry about urinary<br />
control. They can keep up with their kids without leaving anything behind!<br />

Your Family<br />
Sandwiched<br />
by Annie Blachley<br />
In 1930s America, many generations often lived together, from newborn babies<br />
to great-great-grandparents. One fictitious depression-era family captivated<br />
television viewers decades later, during the 1970s, as the multi-generational<br />
Waltons—Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad and seven children—took care of each<br />
other under one big roof in the Blue Ridge Mountains.<br />
In that agrarian economy, everyone lived off the land, from shelling peas to<br />
sawing timber. Nature and hard work provided enough so that it was unnecessary<br />
to labor for money or to spend it. Many hands lightened the load and<br />
maintained a household balance.<br />
Today, though, reality usually dictates that multi-generational clans cannot<br />
share one home, creating pressure on all the generations. Researchers describe<br />
this “sandwich”: The oldest generation is the top layer, the youngest is the bottom,<br />
and the caregivers, often middle-aged, are in between. “Sandwich generation”<br />
caregivers in the middle often encounter economic hardship, reduced<br />
social services, limited work flexibility, and more, so that they are weighted down<br />
in more of a “panini” effect.<br />
Sociologist Dorothy Miller is credited with introducing the sandwich generation<br />
term in 1981. Because women traditionally assume this role, usually living<br />
longer than men, sometimes they are called “women in the middle.” Today, an<br />
estimated one in five Americans—about 22 percent—care for their parents and<br />
their own children simultaneously.<br />
Pile on the Layers<br />
Madeline Seifer, M.A., LMFT, director of the Marriage and Family Clinic at Hofstra<br />
University’s Joan and Arnold Saltzman Community Services Center, explains<br />
why so many older people need care. She says, “People are living longer because<br />
of the improved medical care we have in this country.”<br />
In 1900, the average life expectancy was age 47; today, it’s 78. In fact, the Society<br />
of Actuaries, business professionals who analyze the financial consequences<br />
of risk, predicts that there is a 50 percent chance with a healthy couple where<br />
both are 65 that one will live to be 92.<br />
Such longevity evolved because of factors besides advanced medicine. In 1995,<br />
mortality was high, with fewer long-lived people needing help, and high fertility<br />
rates produced more family members to pitch in. Today, both rates have<br />
declined; more elderly people require care, because of dementia or other problems,<br />
but there are fewer younger family caregivers. The Department of Health<br />
and Human Services (DHSS) projects that the over-65 population will reach 55<br />
million in 2020 (a 36 percent increase from 2010). By 2030, an estimated one in<br />
five Americans will be 65 or older, requiring nearly two-thirds of the baby-boom<br />
generation to care for an elderly parent.<br />
Also adding pressure to caregivers are the troubled economy, reduced healthcare<br />
services and higher insurance costs. Many in their 40s and 50s are experiencing<br />
layoffs, forced early retirement or unanticipated unemployment during<br />
their so-called peak earning years, and they worry about their own retirement.<br />
Their parents’ investments that yielded 8 percent now earn barely 2 percent, and<br />
income from pensions and Social Security isn’t always adequate for expensive<br />
housing costs and property taxes. Many elderly people need help with fixing<br />
meals, shopping, managing money, laundry, housecleaning, or simply using the<br />
telephone. Unless their children are available, they need in-home care, which<br />
erodes their savings—and sometimes their children’s savings as well.<br />
“The economy is going to force more and more people to care for the elderly in<br />
their own homes,” predicts Seifer. “The healthcare system is getting worse for us<br />
who use it. Co-payments are increasing and available services are diminishing.<br />
Even for those who are fortunate enough to have health insurance, premiums<br />
are going up each year and there are fewer services.”<br />
The Money Mash<br />
Karen Boorshtein, LCSW, president and CEO of Huntington-based Family Service<br />
League (FSL), says, “The stereotype is that Long Island is an affluent area.<br />
But we’re seeing a lot of families who may have a parent who is not doing well<br />
but they don’t have the resources to go into a nursing home or assisted living<br />
facility—it’s very, very expensive.”<br />
How expensive? A MetLife 2010 survey of metropolitan New York found that<br />
assisted living facilities range between $3,050 and $8,205 per month. For those<br />
requiring more care, the average nursing home private room costs $229 a night<br />
($83,585 a year). Older residents staying at home with assistance pay $21 per<br />
hour for home health aides, meaning nearly $1,700 per month just for part-time<br />
help, 20 hours per week.<br />
As Boorshtein says, “A lot of people won’t save enough to afford that. With<br />
the economy and people being out of work and having to take care of a parent,<br />
it adds to that stress.”<br />
On Long Island, half the mothers work full time, according to a 2003 Rauch<br />
Foundation survey. Of those working full- or part-time, 70 percent have children<br />
under 18. The survey also found that employer policies providing working<br />
parents with more flexible hours are available to fewer than half the working<br />
parents in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The study concluded that Long Island<br />
lags the country in adopting family-friendly policies.<br />
Robyn Berger-Gaston, LCSW, director of youth, senior and inter-generational<br />
services at FSL, points out how the lack of flex time upsets the family balance.<br />
“One of the greatest strains that caregivers are facing is finances, because it’s<br />
taking time away from their jobs to take their loved ones to doctor appointments.”<br />
On the bottom sandwich layer, the kids are seeing their hopes crushed and<br />
prospects dwindle. The average college cost is $20,000 a year, but many undergraduate<br />
and graduate students who thought their expensive education would<br />
produce well-paying jobs and security are lucky to land any job. The coveted<br />
education has created huge debt for students and graduates along with the<br />
reality of not being able to afford their own place because of low wages and<br />
high rents. Many move back home and contribute what they can, often leaving<br />
parents to foot the bulk of the bill.<br />
Squeezed in the middle of these additional layers are caretakers for both generations.<br />
A MetLife Mature Market Institute poll found that 42 percent of employees<br />
with minor children live paycheck to paycheck, but for those with caregiving<br />
responsibilities—the working sandwich generation—the figure jumps to 64 percent.<br />

Your Family<br />
Keeping it Fresh<br />
Just when they had hoped to slow down, take time off and get reacquainted<br />
with their spouse after years of raising children, many have found themselves<br />
giving—and giving and giving—time and energy to their parents. And while<br />
caregiving can be rewarding, it often upsets the balance at home.<br />
Many counselors recognize that for caregivers, it is key to take care of themselves—to<br />
enhance their own peace of mind, spirit and body and to maintain<br />
energy to care for loved ones. To avoid potentially overwhelming “burnout” feelings,<br />
therapists recommend that caregivers get regular exercise; confide in others<br />
to avoid becoming isolated and ask for help with specific tasks; take time to<br />
pamper and nurture themselves; relax, eat and sleep well.<br />
With all the attention the sandwich phenomenon has received, more resources<br />
are available, helping members of this generation through the tough terrain.<br />
Says Hofstra’s Seifer, “People seem to be taking it in stride now. More and more<br />
institutions are popping up to help us with it.”<br />
Robyn Berger-Gaston of Family Service League offers this advice: “Caring for<br />
a frail, elderly loved one can be very overwhelming. It should help to know that<br />
no one has to go through it alone.”<br />
Living by that motto is exactly how the Waltons stayed together as one big,<br />
happy family. ❁<br />

Your Money<br />
Balancing Your Financial Life<br />
by Arlene K. Haims, CLU, ChFC , LUTCF<br />
We all seek balance in our lives, but how many of us consider our financial<br />
balance? Balancing your checkbook is only the beginning; if you want to find<br />
your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you need to take an honest look at<br />
your current financial colors, paint them with your future goals, and find a way<br />
to balance the two. Especially for women who are single, taking the time now<br />
to bridge your current financial picture and your future financial goals will not<br />
only help you feel more financially balanced today, but will help secure a brighter<br />
financial future.<br />
Assessing Your Current Financial Picture<br />
First, take a look at your current financial picture, which consists of:<br />
• Income (salary, commissions, investment income, child support, etc.)<br />
• Checking<br />
• Savings<br />
• Emergency savings account (equaling 6-12 months of income, so that if<br />
you lose your job or you encounter unexpected medical or other expenses,<br />
you have a cushion)<br />
• Outstanding short and long term debt, including credit cards, mortgage, and<br />
other loans (auto, home equity, etc.)<br />
• Investments (money market account, stocks, bonds, CDs)<br />
• Retirement plans (current value)<br />
• Estimated Social Security income<br />
• Insurance policies (employee benefits, health, life, disability, home, auto,<br />
umbrella, and liability)<br />
Next, prepare a weekly and monthly budget of all items that deplete your income.<br />
Keep an honest and detailed record of ALL your expenses—including your<br />
morning coffee and a pack of gum—for at least two weeks. It sounds simple, but<br />
it is a very necessary part of getting a complete view of your current financial<br />
situation. You might be very surprised about what you’re spending your money<br />
on.<br />
Closely examine your income and expenses in order to create a balance that<br />
doesn’t compromise your lifestyle. Imagine a set of balancing scales with income<br />
on one side and expenses on the other. In order to maintain a balance, regularly<br />
monitor your progress with the understanding that sometimes events occur<br />
where you need to take action. For example, with the rising cost of fuel, you may<br />
choose to eat out less often.<br />
Setting Your Financial Goals<br />
Separate your goals into three categories that reflect both your financial timeline<br />
and your life plan.<br />
• Short-term financial goals (the next 5 years)<br />
Examples:<br />
• Buying a larger house or downsizing<br />
• Purchasing a new car<br />
• Professional development expenses<br />
• Planning a trip<br />
• Growing your business<br />
• Mid-term financial goals (the next 5-10 years)<br />
Examples:<br />
• College fund<br />
• Paying down debt to prepare for retirement<br />
• Putting money aside for a wedding or other family celebrations<br />
• Selling your business<br />
• Cutting back on work hours<br />
• Long-term financial goals (retirement and beyond)<br />
Examples:<br />
• Retiring<br />
• Traveling<br />
• Buying a boat or RV<br />
• Moving to another state<br />
• Providing for your heirs<br />
Once your financial goals are set, reflect upon and affirm your commitment<br />
to these goals, with the understanding that challenges may occur that would<br />
require you to tweak or completely revamp your goals for the future.<br />
Insuring Your Goals<br />
The insurance program you put into place are meant to help complete your<br />
goals in the event of an unforeseen occurrence such as loss of income because<br />
of death, disability, destruction of property or anything else that might create a<br />
sudden financial hardship.<br />
Investing In Your Future<br />
Ask the average person and they’ll tell you that you need a Ph.D in Finance to<br />
understand investments, so to dispel that myth, let’s return to our short-term,<br />
mid-term and long-term goals.<br />
For the short-term, investments need to be liquid and easily accessible. Investing<br />
in mutual funds or stocks may not appropriate because they are volatile in nature<br />
and require a longer time to weather the ups and downs of the market. Since your<br />
investment is only as good as its value on the day you want to cash them in, a<br />
money market account, short-term bond or CD would be your safest bet.<br />
For your mid- and long-term goals, your gut plays an important role. What kind<br />
of investor are you? Where is your comfort level?<br />
• Conservative (you won’t sleep at night if you think the market took a dip<br />
today)<br />
• Moderate (you’re ready to cautiously put your big toe in the water)<br />
• Moderate/Aggressive (you’re getting comfortable with more risk for greater<br />
reward)<br />
22 • 2011/ 2012 LONG ISLAND WOMAN SURVIVAL GUIDE To advertise: 516-505-0555 x1 or ads@liwomanonline.com
Your Money<br />
• Aggressive (you’re comfortable taking a greater risk with the hope of a<br />
greater return)<br />
The general rule about investments is that the length of time you have for an<br />
investment to grow will determine the type of investment that is right for your<br />
situation.<br />
Working With a Financial Planner<br />
A financial planning professional can offer various tools to help you determine<br />
where you stand today, and will advise you according to your risk tolerance, your<br />
age and your expendable income. Your comfort levels could very well change<br />
over time as you become more comfortable with your results and more comfortable<br />
with your planner.<br />
Why should you use a financial planner? Statistics show that finding a comfortable<br />
fit with a financial planner and working with someone over the long<br />
term will yield better investment results. Why? Because in general, individuals<br />
investing on their own tend to bail when the market takes a dip, whereas most<br />
financial professionals would advise you to hold tight because statistically, investments<br />
tend to weather the storm and come back over the long term.<br />
Often, the best approach to achieving financial balance is a team approach<br />
that includes your attorney, your accountant and your financial advisor working<br />
together … with you as the team leader.<br />
Seeking financial balance requires constant monitoring to make sure that your<br />
dollars—as well as your comfort level—are on track. If you follow your plan, the<br />
pot of gold at the end of your rainbow will be abundant! ❁<br />

10 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR EXPENSES IN BALANCE<br />
1. Always be mindful of those incidental expenses. They really add up<br />
2. Pay your bills on time. Late charges are expensive.<br />
3. Prepare a monthly budget and stick to your promise.<br />
4. Pay yourself first. Make a bill-paying day each month and pay your<br />
savings account first.<br />
5. Maintain an ongoing dialogue with your planner so that she is<br />
aware of any personal issues that may warrant rebalancing your<br />
investments.<br />
6. Commit to quarterly or semi-annual meetings with your planner<br />
and make sure meetings are made and kept.<br />
7. If you are considering a risky investment or a huge purchase, sleep<br />
on it before acting on it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.<br />
8. Balance your checkbook each month. Catch mistakes early and<br />
chaos will be averted.<br />
9. If your employer matches your employee contribution to a<br />
retirement plan, try to contribute at least to the match point.<br />
10. Check your credit rating regularly and make repairs immediately.<br />

Help With Weight Loss and Diabetes<br />
by Dr. Dazhi Chen, PhD, LAC, IPA of N.S.-L.I.J.<br />
Recent reports show that<br />
two thirds of American<br />
adults are either overweight<br />
or obese in this country and<br />
obesity rates have grown<br />
from 15% in 1978-1980 to<br />
32% in 2003-04.<br />
Not only does obesity increase the risk for<br />
developing major diseases, including type 2<br />
diabetes, heart disease<br />
and stroke, but may lead<br />
to some forms of cancer<br />
as well. Many therapeutic<br />
weight loss programs may<br />
work in the short term,<br />
however, as most<br />
Americans know, the<br />
patient gains the weight<br />
back almost immediately after he or she discontinues<br />
the program — usually under<br />
unhealthy conditions during treatment or<br />
after the patient has stopped exercising.<br />
Weight gain can be attributed to many<br />
things, but metabolism is a key consideration<br />
and should be looked at seriously.<br />
I recently developed a healthy, successful<br />
way of losing weight with acupuncture,<br />
advertisement<br />
which can actually change your metabolism.<br />
There are several unique characteristics with<br />
this therapy:<br />
1. You do NOT gain back the weight you lost.<br />
2. You will see the results as early as the<br />
FIRST WEEK.<br />
3. Stop craving food.<br />
4. Health Issues such as insomnia, constipation,<br />
menopause and stress will be alleviated<br />
simultaneously during<br />
the treatment.<br />
5. It is effective for how<br />
your whole body will function.<br />

have failed call Dr.<br />

Good Advice<br />
<br />
by James C. Marotta, MD<br />
Thinking of heading to the beach? Consider this: excessive<br />
amounts of ultraviolet radiation (UV) leads to premature aging of<br />
the skin resulting in wrinkles, abnormal pigmentation (sunspots)<br />
and an increased number of benign skin lesions like spider veins.<br />
UV rays also increase the risk of skin cancer, the most common<br />
cancer diagnosed in the U.S. today. (A Cancer Journal for Clinicians<br />
2002, 52:23-47).<br />
Summertime on Long Island - it’s unrealistic to think that people are going to stay<br />
out of the sun or avoid the beaches. If you’re going to spend time outside, follow this<br />
advice to protect yourself as much as possible:<br />
·Limit your time in the sun. You can get a sunburn from as little as<br />
15 minutes of unprotected sun exposure. What looks like “a little<br />
pink” to you today can turn into a raging burn the next day – that<br />
translates to skin damage.<br />
•Wear sunscreen always and reapply frequently. Look for 2 things<br />
in a sunscreen: (1) an SPF of 30 or higher, as this will block out<br />
97% of UVB rays, and (2) an ingredient that provides “broad spectrum” coverage like<br />
zinc oxide, oxybensone, sulisobenzone and Parsol 1789 to block the UVA rays.<br />
•Whenever possible, cover up in clothing, hats and glasses with UV protection.<br />
If you already see the negative effects of the sun on your skin or just want to help<br />
keep your skin as healthy as possible, here’s what you can do to reverse sun damage:<br />
•First, see a doctor who treats the skin. Although you may be tempted to go to a<br />
salon or spa for skin treatments, in general it is safer and more effective to go to a<br />
If you want to help keep your<br />
skin as healthy as possible, here’s<br />

damage.<br />

qualified physician, as they can make sure your sun damage isn’t a skin cancer and<br />
can offer medical-grade solutions.<br />
•Have unsightly skin lesions surgically removed. Some sun-produced skin lesions can<br />
be simply removed under local anesthesia and without a scar.<br />
•Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a great way to treat some of the visible signs of sun<br />
damage like sunspots and spider veins. Much gentler than laser, IPL selectively targets<br />
sun damage, leaving the non-damaged skin alone. IPL can be done in the office, is<br />
relatively painless (feels like the snap of a rubberband), has little to no downtime, and<br />
makeup can be worn right after. Within days, brown spots gently flake off the skin<br />
and blood vessels disappear. When used on the face the treatment<br />
is called a “photofacial” but IPL can be used to target sun damage<br />
anywhere (e.g. the hands, chest or back).<br />
•Chemical peels can remove damaged layers of skin, thus removing<br />
sun damage in the process. They can range from superficial<br />
(with no downtime) to deep (with some downtime). Deeper peels<br />
can also tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles.<br />
•Retin-A and hydroquinone are medications that can reduce the signs of sun damage.<br />
Retin-A causes damaged skin to shed, creating “newer” skin in the process. Hydroquinone<br />
can help reduce abnormal pigmentation (discoloration or spots) caused<br />
by sun damage. Sometimes these ingredients are incorporated into skin care regimens,<br />
like the MarottaMD skin care line, that can be done at home to continue to<br />
reverse sun damage when away from your doctor’s office.<br />
