Arnica Montana Relieves Bruising

Physicians are turning to Arnica to relieve the soreness and bruising that can follow accidents and surgery.  Especially helpful after Orthopedic and Plastic Surgery, Arnica relieves inflammation, bruising and speeds recovery.  Experts in emergency medicine recommend it to reduce pain and mend tissues associated with traumatic injuries.  Fitness coaches rely on it to ease the soreness that comes from overexertion and muscle sprain.

Homeopathic Arnica is available in two forms:  Topical gel and cream that can be applied to the skin and medicated pellets that dissolve under the tongue or in a glass of water.  For minor, local complaints, the topical form is recommended.  For more severe general symptoms, the pellet form is more effective.

Arnica restores health with no side effects and is safe for children, adults, pregnant women and seniors.  Arnica has been regulated as a drug by the FDA since 1938 and manufactured according to the guidelines in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoceia of the United States.

We recommend that you take Arnica at least two days prior to any surgical procedure and at least a week following.  If you are having Botox/Dysport or dermal filler injections, we recommend the use of topical Arnica during the process.  It will promote healing and help keep bruising to a minimum.

Many of our patients have tried Arnica and have had excellent healing results from surgery.

Contact the clinic at 623.2500 and we will provide you with a list of places to purchase Arnica.

WHAT IS ROSACLEAR?

If your skin gets red, inflamed and is prone to flushing, you may have a condition called Rosacea.  Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by a reddening of the cheeks, nose, chin and/or forehead.  It may also include the appearance of papules and pustules which are acne-like pimples.  While it is very common, affecting more than 14 million Americans*, many of those with rosacea don’t even realize they have it.

Obagi Medical Products, a leading skin care company, now brings you an effective way to manage your rosacea.  The Rosaclear System provides gentle, dermatologist-tested and allergy-tested skincare to calm your inflamed, irritated skin.  It’s a specially formulated, prescription-based regimen that is non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores.

  • The Gentle Cleanser calms and smoothes your skin while helping to remove bacteria and other irritating residues.
  • The Metronidazole Topical Gel USP, 0.75% (prescription only) is indicated for topical application in the treatment of inflammatory papules and pustules of rosacea.
  • The Hydrating Complexion Corrector protects and moisturizes your skin, while helping to reduce the appearance of redness by utilizing multiple calming agents, anti-inflammatory agents and light-reflecting minerals.
  • The Skin Balancing Sun Protection SPF 30 is a specially formulated, chemical-free, tinted UVA/UVB sunscreen, which easily blends with your skin to help reduce the appearance of redness and blotchiness.

The Rosaclear System contains calming and anti-inflammatory agents, such as licorice, aloe, lavender and sea whip.  These ingredients soothe your skin and effectively reduce and minimize the visible redness and blotchiness associated with rosacea, while light-reflecting minerals balance your complexion immediately. 

If you are interested in trying the Rosaclear system by Obagi, simply call or stop by the clinic.  Our skin care specialists will be happy to discuss this system to you.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF PILLOW INJECTIONS FOR YOUR FEET???

At the end of the day, after wearing those ”to die for” designer heels you had to have, you are ready to throw them in the nearest dumpster because your feet hurt so bad you could cry??? Ouch! 

There is now a solution, “pillows for your feet”.  Restylane® or Radiesse® can be injected into the balls of your feet to give you the added cushion you need to make those stilettos more bearable.  By injecting a dermal filler into the balls of your feet, you can gain added comfort that will last six months to a year or more.  From our research, some have experienced an uncomfortable sensation or feeling after the injections and felt like walking on marbles or like having something in your shoe.  Although, the long-term safety has not yet been determined, some of our staff may be opting for this procedure.  We will keep you posted as we learn more!

Also, Botox® has been used to safely diminish excess perspiration in your feet.  So if you are experiencing sweaty feet, Botox® is a solution for the problem and results can last four months or more.  Some have said that after subsequent injections, results can last longer.  Many patients have used Botox to help control severe underarm sweating called Hyperhidrosis.  By injecting Botox® into the area, it blocks chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, when the sweat glands don’t receive the chemical signals, the severe sweating stops!
