Q: I was shopping with my mother the other day. I was trying on pants, and she told me next time I should not wear lace underwear. Little did she know that I was wearing a thong!! She saw my cellulite through the pants I was trying on. How embarrassing. What can I do to get rid of this cellulite before the summer?

A: Unfortunately, nothing will get rid of cellulite completely. However, there are treatments such as Thermage and Mesotherapy that will help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Nothing is permanent either, so every couple years, you will need to keep it under control by doing treatments. You should exercise regularly, and drink lots of water. I hear that jumping rope helps you circulation as well (which is another cause of cellulite). ~Dr. Mansoury

Tip #3
-Men and women of all ages suffer from acne. Unfortunately, there is no cure. But you can control the breakouts. With proper treatments such as Isolaz or micropeels, you can control your breakouts. So, for as long as you have acne (months, years, etc) you must have constant maintenance. We suggest coming in and having medical grade treatments along with medical grade skin care products. Once your skin is cleared up, it is suggested that you come in every 4-6 weeks for a maintenance visit.

- It is better to get rid of a pimple by popping it- MYTH!
Even though it might feel good to pop a pimple, you are actually pushing the harmful bacteria deeper into the skin. Using your fingers and finger nails can cause scarring and skin damage. Better solution: schedule an appointment for an Isolaz treatment and get great deep pore cleansing without the worry of damaging your skin.
