Review ~ Ratio Skin Care (by Dr. Andrew Ordon and Ritu Chopra)

METSV — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:18:26 PDT

The golden ratio is an organic constant found in nature. It is visible in the perfect lines of a nautilus shell. The human body is the most beautiful example of the mathematical proportions defined by this and a glance at the palm of your hand will provide proof. Great works of genius, such as the Mona Lisa or the Taj Mahal, could not have been created without an understanding of this calculated symmetry.

Dr. Andrew Ordon, co-host of the Emmy-award winning show, “The Doctors,” and his partner Dr. Ritu Chopra, have taken inspiration from this golden ratio to create a revolutionary blend of eastern and western ingredients for the ultimate balance in anti-aging skincare products.

Clicking HERE will take you to the Ratio Skin Care site where you can learn more about this great range of skincare products...(right now they are featuring a 20% discount, so click quick!)

Stay tuned for a Q&A from the doctors - they'll be answering some of our questions and yours regarding the line, skincare in general, and what's on the horizon for Ratio...

Dr. Cameron Rokhsar discusses miraDry, the underarm sweat removal procedure with us

Miss Style Apothecary — Thu, 09 May 2013 08:14:11 PDT

Cameron K. Rokhsar, M.D., F.A.A.D., F.A.A.C.S., is an internationally renowned laser surgeon in Manhattan and Long Island. He practices cosmetic and general dermatology with a particular focus on laser and other non surgical treatments, aesthetic enhancements with fillers, Mohs Micrographic Surgery, minimally invasive liposuction, and the treatment of acne and acne scars. Dr. Rokhsar is also an Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

for more info, please check our Dr Rokhsar's website New York Cosmetic, Skin & Laser Surgery Center

Underarm sweat is not only an embarrassing situation, but it is also expensive to manage. From over-the-counter antiperspirants to frequent dry cleaning to purchasing new tops to replacing sweat-stained clothes, people can spend thousands of dollars each year on hiding their condition.

miraDry, a FDA-approved in-office procedure that uses non-invasive delivery of localized energy to the underarm to eliminate the sweat glands. Since sweat glands do not regenerate, results are lasting - a recent study published in the journal Dermatologic Surgery showed 90 percent efficacy, 90 percent patient satisfaction, and study subjects saw an 82 percent average sweat reduction at the 12-month check point.

Typically, miraDry costs approximately $2,500 to $3,000 for two treatments, which in the long run can be a much more cost-effective option than other coping mechanisms and treatments.
