New Jersey Plastic Surgeon Offers 18 Month Interest-Free Financing

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 at 2:17 pm  

East Brunswick, New Jersey (PRWEB) November 30, 2012

For the remainder of the year, patients of Dr. Robert Herbstman, a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, can finance many cosmetic procedures and treatments for 18 months interest free.

This offer applies only to procedures financed through CareCredit?, a healthcare credit card that can be used for many cosmetic and dermatologic treatments not covered by insurance.

"Our patients are extremely important to us, so we decided to show our appreciation with this offer," Dr. Herbstman says. "The majority of plastic surgery patients pay for their procedures out of their own pockets. We hope the prospect of zero interest for the first year and a half will help some people make the decision to look and feel better."

Dr. Herbstman says he has seen many patients improve their confidence and overall outlook with a single procedure.

"While cosmetic surgery isn't for everyone, it's impossible to quantify the satisfaction people can feel after a successful surgery," he says. "For example, a woman who has always had anxiety about her breast size can address that issue with breast implants in New Jersey."

It's not just women who benefit from plastic surgery.

"We dedicate a large portion of our practice to helping men combat the effects of aging, as well as overcoming conditions such as gynecomastia ? enlarged breasts," Dr. Herbstman says.

"Men are increasingly choosing procedures once seen as being for women only, such as a facelift. Many New Jersey men have approached me with concerns about aging, and I am happy to be here to help."

With more than 20 years of experience as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Herbstman is a respected authority locally and nationwide. He is a faculty member of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and is certified as an inspector for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities. His top procedures include facelift, breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tuck, and he offers a full range of surgical and non-surgical skin treatments.

Monday, December 3rd, 2012 at 12:21 pm  


Murrieta, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2012

Diabetes is a growing problem in the United States. The Center for Disease Control reported that in 2010 approximately 8.3% of the American population had diabetes.

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women, while skin cancer is the number one most common type of cancer among both genders. Likewise Skincare is proud to carry lines of moisturizers targeted to different skin types that not only act as moisturizers and beauty products, but also contain SPF to help protect against sun damage.

According to Likewise Skincare representative Lisa Shariat, ?People are very concerned with anti-aging and making sure that they are using the right beauty and skin care products, but it?s also essential to make sure that they are being protected from the sun just as much as they are preventing wrinkles. Likewise products provide essential ingredients for anti-aging, promote a glowing complexion and also act as a sunscreen to protect against cancerous sun rays so that your daily skin care routine can also help promote your daily good health.?

Likewise Skincare was created by board-certified dermatologist and President of Likewise, Inc., Dr. Julie Pena. Likewise daily moisturizers are all-in-one but not one-fits-all.

It’s National Eczema Awareness Month

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012 at 8:18 am  


(PRWEB) October 24, 2012

October is national eczema awareness month. Educate yourself with Skin Laboratory?s eczema pictures and dermatitis videos. The term eczema is used to generally describe several types of dermatitis. Specific forms of eczema include atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, and nummular eczema.


Atopic Dermatitis: Sometimes used interchangeably with eczema, this form is hereditary and is associated with hay fever and asthma.

Seborrheic Dermatitis: Appearing on the face, ears, scalp, and other body parts, seborrheic dermatitis is yellowish, oily, itchy, crusty, scaly patches of skin. Seborrhea is also called dandruff in adults and sometimes "cradle cap" in infants

Dyshidrotic Eczema: Tiny blisters just below the epidermis are filled with fluid, potentially causing severe itching, scaling and cracking, and intense flare-up. It occurs on the hands and feet.

Nummular Eczema: Coin like appearances of eczema.

Eczema can affect anyone. Regardless of age, gender, or race, no one is guaranteed to avoid it. Eczema accounts for roughly 15% of dermatological referrals. At least 15 million Americans have some sort eczema symptoms.

Identifying eczema is the first step. It can appear practically everywhere on the skin. Eczema face appearance is probably the most likely to have social and emotional impact on a person.

Doctors do not know of a specific cause of eczema. There are several known factors, however, when researching what causes eczema:

Heredity: Inheriting eczema from family
????This is the strongest factor in eczema, and unfortunately nothing can be done about it.

Allergic Reactions:
-???? Food or Drinks:
????????Reaction occurs when a person eats food that they're allergic to. Usually happens soon after consumption.

????????Foods with higher levels of acidity like tomatoes and oranges tend to cause more allergic reactions

-???? Chemical Sensitivity: Household chemicals that a person is sensitive to
????????Detergents and Concentrates: should be inspected carefully of their ingredients

????????Environment: Weather, pollution, or geographic location

Naturally, prevention is the best cure. Skin care tips and skin care routine advice can be found on Skin Laboratory?s website: http://www.skinlaboratory.com Paying attention to your skin will help catch any issues early.

To keep eczema under control and prevent it from further damaging the skin:

Help with Itching:
????Selsun Blue Shampoo: Pyrithione zinc dandruff shampoos are often used by dermatologists as an ?off label? treatment for helping control skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.

????Calomine Lotion: It can be rubbed on affected areas of the skin to help ease the itch.

Avoid Triggers:
????Avoid touching or using harsh detergents, chemicals or fragrances that may irritate your skin.

????Dove Soap: contains very few potential allergens

????Deft Laundry Detergent: a baby detergent, contains very few potential allergens

Moisturize the Affected Areas:
????Moisturize the skin at least twice a day. Especially, right after taking a shower.

????Avoid taking a long bath unless taking one to help remedy an itch. Instead, take a short, lukewarm shower.

Many types of dermatitis exist. Thus addressing eczema and dermatitis techniques vary greatly. Each person is different. Unfortunately this means no single treatment works for everyone. If you think you or someone you care about has eczema, do some research and contact a dermatologist.

There is a type of dermatitis for which many have found help. Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the more commonly occurring types of dermatitis. Symptoms for seborrheic dermatitis include:

Red Skin: Inflammation of the skin
Crusty or Patchy Skin: The scalp can form thick crusts or become patchy and scaling
Dandruff: Anywhere on your hair, head or body, white and yellow flakes can appear
?Yucky Skin?: Greasy red skin covered with white flakes or yellow scales
Uncomfortable Skin: Itching or sore skin

Seborrheic dermatitis doesn't have to stay! Solutions are sometimes found with salicylic acid peels. Salicylic acid is able to remove plaques and rough spots very effectively. Salicylic does this without being overly irritating to the underlying skin layer.

When using salicylic acid, dry skin can occur. Glycolac is an excellent option for hydrating skin. For many, alternating between Skin Laboratory?s Salicylic and Glycolac chemical peels weekly has proven an effective method of getting the benefits of salicylic while keeping the skin well hydrated.

This Autumn, throw a 1-2 punch at dermatitis and beat eczema!

-About Skin Laboratory-

42 Certifications Awarded by the International Youth Conditioning Association in the Month of July

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012 at 4:21 pm  


Elizabethtown, KY (PRWEB) August 02, 2012

Youth sports training organization the International Youth Conditioning Association has just given out 42 youth training certifications in the month of July. The certifications are available to youth fitness professionals who pass rigorous training courses.

?One of the biggest problems in youth fitness today is that people are coaching kids without first having any real qualifications,? IYCA co-owner Nick Berry says. ?A lot of times coaches are former players, but this doesn?t mean they have the most up to date knowledge about how to train children safely and effectively.?

Because of the lack of oversight in the youth fitness community, the International Youth Conditioning Association began offering certification programs aimed at improving the quality of youth sports training available to young athletes.

?Over the last several years, the fitness industry has seen a remarkable rise in the prominence of kids fitness programs and youth sports,? says Berry?s business partner and IYCA CEO Pat Rigsby.

?While in the past these subheadings of the industry have been lumped together with adult training, the IYCA has spearheaded the drive for more specialized youth trainers and coaches,? Rigsby continues. ?I am proud of the fact that we here at the IYCA have made a lot of progress toward revolutionizing the youth fitness and sports performance industries.?

To that end, the IYCA now offers multiple training certifications geared toward different aspects of youth training.

In the month of July, the IYCA awarded 19 of its Youth Fitness Specialist Level 1 training certifications and 1 of its Youth Fitness Specialist Level 2 certifications.

Additionally, 6 certifications were given out for the IYCA?s Youth Nutrition Specialist certification and 8 for the High School Strength and Conditioning Coach certification.

Lastly, 8 people were certified for the IYCA?s Youth Speed and Agility Specialist certification, bringing the total number of certifications awarded during the month of July to 42.

?Our mission is to change the lives of the kids we work with,? Rigsby continues. ?But first we have to start by changing the way kids are trained. The IYCA has done this by educating youth sports trainers on how to properly train their young athletes in a variety of methodologies.?

Rigsby and Berry, while placing children?s safety and success above all else, also concede that the IYCA?s certification programs are also a good business practice for youth fitness coaches and trainers.

?In the fitness industry, credentials mean a lot,? says Rigsby. ?People need to know that you have taken the time to dig deep into a subject and can teach and train it well. This is even more important when it comes to kids, as parents don?t want just anybody working with their children.?

The IYCA is now offering the following certifications: Youth Fitness Specialist Level 1, Youth Fitness Specialist Level 2, Youth Fitness Specialist Level 3, Youth Speed and Agility Specialist, Youth Nutrition Specialist, and High School Strength and Conditioning Coach.

About Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry: Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry are co-owners of Fitness Consulting Group, a leading business development consulting firm within the fitness industry.

The IYCA is part of the Fitness Consulting Group family of companies. It is the world?s leading authority in the fields of youth fitness, youth conditioning, and youth athletic development.
