Thermage is radiofrequency, which by heating loose collagen fibers deep in the skin, causes them to gradually curl over a 6 month period & therein produce skin tightening (without any down time), in some cases quite dramatic. <br />Ulthera is ultrasound & attempts to do the same: it was sold to many physicians who expected the FDA to approve it (to allow the company itself to advertise it for tightening). However, in the pivotal phase 3 FDA trials the FDA stopped the trials midway indicating that it could not be shown to work. The doctors who had bought the Ulthera equipment had little financial options other than continuing to offer it. We have Thermage & had used Ulthera before the FDA decision. <br /><br />#2 Surgery (at least on the face & neck) is always more predictable than use of a non-invasive device but obviously is associated with considerable downtime (healing) & greater expense than the non-invasive. Many patients either don't need face/neck lifts or want to evaluate how satisfied they are without it, wanting to see their degree of improvement from Thermage. <br /><br />Our office is different than most cosmetic procedure centers: we offer #1 & #2. All of our M.D. staff physicians are board certified in plastic surgery or dermatology. <br />Happy 4/15 </span><img alt="��" class="yiv2066783450EmojiInsert" id="yiv2066783450OWAEmoji299342" src="https://dl-mail.ymail.com/ws/download/mailboxes/@.id==VjJ-a3Gdt0mmTLNu1RbGCv11h_pM4dMoBrEEfTrLb-ppIR7auopMWANgfIYOMILuom-p/messages/@.id==AHB2w0MADePbWOqWPAro-LvNf_8/content/parts/@.id==2/raw?appid=YahooMailNeo&ymreqid=d059b0a9-fb3e-8967-0163-47004d010000&token=zitEzqOML3j84e6ealFTT5U7-km5qEQF52lp7AcCuBa1Amncw0QeBkZn99gGKOpXZARxk2xONu-LnI93u7cOlEfad0Nc-B_2f6hfYygD3-qldJA8i3vzfiNePJFcLA02" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: bottom;" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11552830693338993906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571672514543256372.post-4308371387340157872017-03-21T17:05:00.000-07:002017-03-21T17:05:40.620-07:00 IF ALL YOU HAVE IS A HAMMER THEN THE WHOLE WORLD LOOKS LIKE A NAIL<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">So we had a patient in her 20's come to our Beverly Hills office last week whom we had seen a few years back. Lovely face with acne scars. 2 lessons for all of us: <br /><br />#1. She had received laser treatments with an older (bad) version of the right (good) laser by a board certified dermatologist (good): so with one thing wrong (older & less effective version) she didn't get great results - but she liked the price. Truth is that one dollar spent on the wrong thing is merely a gift to your doctor, not to yourself! <br />#2. She was told by another doctor (a plastic surgeon) that a </span><i style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">facelift </i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">(in her 20's) was the answer because it would stretch the scars. For most plastic surgeons lasers are not their thing (medical lasers were originated by Leon Goldman,M.D. , Chairman of the Dept. of Dermatology at The University of Cincinnati) so the patient was not offered the right answers. <br /><br />As Michael Jackson's brilliant Beverly Hills dermatologist (& my good friend) , Arnold Klein,M.D., was fond of saying in these situations, "when all you have as a hammer the whole world looks like a nail." At our offices : we have more than hammers: 2 doubly board certified dermatologists & 2 board certified plastic surgeons that have the wide perspective to benefit patients. <br />Bye bye bias!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11552830693338993906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571672514543256372.post-7143369302385531362016-09-30T14:16:00.000-07:002016-09-30T14:16:55.187-07:00Self-Screening for Melanoma<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: , , "arial" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Don't be shy; melanoma isn't, and finding it early </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: , , "arial" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">could save your life.

Don’t condition your roots just your ends. Do not over wash if you have dry
scalp. You know when it's time to wash all the grime from your hair. However, it
is much harder to know when your child needs their hair washed. You don’t want
to dry out their scalp or have a build up excess oil. When children are between
the ages of 8 and 12, parents often ask dermatologists this question. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

When it comes to skincare do’s and don’ts, we like to think
we’ve got it all under control. Pointers such as ‘do take your makeup off
before bed’ and ‘don’t use hand soap as a facial cleanser’ are mantras, widely
known and rehearsed by us all. However, these are not the only tips that we
should know about the health of our skin. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, make sure that you are visiting the write medical <span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">practitioner. A primary care physician is
not as specialized as a Dermatologist. If there are any doubts about diagnosis
of a primary care physician, make an appointment with a Dermatologist or your
physician may refer you to a Dermatologist. Don’t be fooled by so-called
Dermatologist. </span>There are far too many therapists advertising themselves
as dermatologists out there. Dermatologists are doctors who, after their
general medical University degree, have completed a formal higher specialist
training in dermatology. Don’t feel afraid to ask for credentials of the
dermatologist. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A facial may do more harm than good. High street and spa
facials should be avoided by anybody with a tendency for breakouts, acne or
rosacea. A study has shown that 80% of these may actually aggravate breakouts.
Make sure to only have medical grade facials in your dermatologist’s clinic. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is important to stress how vital regular mole checks with
a dermatologist are. I wish everybody would go once per year. In between those
expert checks, don’t forget to self-examine your skin at least once per month -
top to toe! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You should always tailor your skincare products to your
exact skin type and condition with the advice of your dermatologist. See a
dermatologist who has a special interest in aesthetic dermatology and skincare.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Patient is the most important part of a clear complexion. Acne
sufferers have a tendency to start their treatment for acne scarring while they
are still developing inflamed spots and pimples. However, acne scarring should only
be treated after all the active acne has fully burnt out – addressing it too
early will only aggravate inflamed acne lesions. The primary goal at that stage
is to prevent further scarring by getting the active acne treated by a
dermatologist. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Your skin is the most visible and valuable asset on our
bodies, take care of it this New Year. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fungal
nail infections can be caused by three different types of fungus, alone or in
combination.</span><br />
<ul type="disc">

type of fungus that can grow on the skin, hair, and nails. The most common
dermatophyte, <i>Trichophyton rubrum</i>, causes most cases of athlete's
foot. Athlete's foot, in turn, can infect the toenails. You can get
infected by contact with objects that have dermatophytes on them, such as
clothing, shoes, nail clippers, nail files, shower and locker room floors,
and carpet</span></li>

on the human body. Things like illness, antibiotic or birth control pill
use, and immune system problems may allow an overgrowth of yeast, leading
to a yeast infection.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You
can get a fungal nail infection when you come in contact with the fungus and it
begins to grow on or under your nail. Fungi grows best in warm, moist areas,
such as the area around the toes. But you can have fungi on your skin without
getting a nail infection. If you are susceptible to fungal infections, they
tend to return, even after successful treatment and especially if you don't
take preventive steps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A
fungal nail infection usually isn't painful. But without treatment, over time
it can become uncomfortable or even painful to wear shoes, walk, or stand for a
long time.</span><br />

There are lots of ways to heal your scars and keep new ones
from forming. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="1"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is important to prevent acne scars before they begin. If
your scar is red or swollen, use a cortisone cream to calm your skin. The cortisone
is absorbed by skin cells and reduces inflammation. Skin creams with cortisone
can be bought over the counter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If your acne scars don't fade away on their own, it may be
time to consider booking an appointment with our dermatologist. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fraxel® Laser Treatment is a revolutionary and effective
treatment for wrinkles, uneven color and tone, texture irregularities from sun
damage and aging, crepiness, and loose skin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No downtime is involved and gradual improvement is noted in
texture and color. Collagen is both increased and remodeled due to the
treatment. Fraxel laser is the treatment of choice for facial acne scars. This
is primarily due to its ability through nano beam technology (like camera
pixels) to safely penetrate deeper than the older ablative lasers and,
therefore, affect the bottom of deep scars. In one to three sessions, laser
skin resurfacing using fractionated laser technology can even out the skin
surface and increase the formation of new collagen. The new collagen can help
fill in acne scars. If your thinking of Fraxel you can book a free consolation
at our Beverly Hills
office. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Filler injections can help fill in the indentations left
behind from deep acne scars, says Ron Moy, MD, a former president of the American Academy of Dermatology. But the downside
to fillers is that they need to be repeated every 4 to 6 months, as the product
reabsorbs into the skin over time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The main key to seeing acne scars fade is patience. A few
weeks after you break out and scar, new blood vessels move into the injured
area to give nourishment to the skin, which is why most early scars look pink. Months
later, collagen starts to form, filling in the injured section of skin. Because
cystic acne destroys skin and fat, it can take up to a year for the scars to
fade. </div>

What you put into your body is what it uses for fuel, so it makes sense that
if you’re eating something your body doesn’t like, you’ll see symptoms of it.
This is true even for conditions once thought to be unrelated to diet–like
eczema. An inflammatory condition of the skin, no one knows the exact
cause of eczema<br />
<br />
Actually an umbrella term, “eczema” can be used to refer to many different types of skin conditions that are thought to be linked to allergic
reactions within the body, some of those caused by diet.<br />
Studies of children and young people with atopic eczema found that one-third
to nearly two-thirds also had a food allergy. <br />
<br />
As a general rule, the following foods can cause eczema to worsen:<br />

Food allergies can vary from person to person. People who wish to identify
eczema trigger foods in their diet should consider the following options:<br />
<b>Elimination diets: </b>cutting a suspected food trigger out for 10 to 14
days. Watch to see if it makes a difference.<br />
<b>Food challenges:</b> After you’ve taken food out of your diet, add a
small amount back in to see if it causes symptoms.<br />
<b>Skin testing:</b> Performed in a doctor’s office, this test uses food
extracts to test for sensitivity. If the area tested swells up, it’s a sign of
an allergic reaction. This test can be unreliable, however, especially in
people with sensitive skin.<br />
<b>Blood tests:</b> RAST — radio allegro sorbent test — can check for
special cells in the blood that are signs of specific food allergies.<br />
Managing eczema can be a challenge. Research suggests hormones and stress
can impact eczema, and likewise, foods that affect hormones and stress can be
problematic. Don’t try to solve you eczema issues alone; make sure you involve
your doctor to ensure you find relief as soon as possible.<br />

A new study in the American Journal of Public Health finds
correlation between the changes in swim attire and the rise of skin cancer. The
study examines 100 years of factors like clothing styles, travel patterns and
perception of tan skin. All of these have led to an increase in sun exposure an
ultimately an increase in melanoma over the years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The study
divided the 20<sup>th</sup> century in four eras: turn of the century, early century,
mid and late century. They studied showed how exposed the skin was during that
time period. They found that around the turn of the century porcelain skin was
accepted because of racial stereotypes associated with dark skin and the
lower-class people working on the fields had tan skin from the sun exposure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The study
is interesting when looking at the later half of the 20<sup>th</sup> Century.
As time went by the traditional look of fair, pale skin was not what everyone
wanted. Also the fashion was to expose more skin. Fashion no longer required
high collars and long skirts. Instead women and men were exposed more to the
sun through fashion. From 1940s to the 1960s the incidents in melanoma went up
300% in men and more surprisingly 400% in women. Researchers determined that do
to the change in swimsuit attire there was more exposed skin while out in the
sun. Women and men were more covered during the turn of the 20<sup>th</sup>
century rather than the late 20<sup>th</sup> century when bikinis and swim
trunks were introduced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even in most
resent years melanoma jumped from 22.8 per 100,000 in 2000 to 28.9 per 100,000
in 2009. </div>

99% are due to the skin below the eye not having enough support, therein
producing a valley or depression.This yields a shadow. NO CREAM HELPS
THIS- unless it has a makeup concealer in it to hide the defect.It has
NOTHING to do with color or vessels. Over 50 % of people have this condition. Test this tonight by moving the
nearby skin to " fill in" the valley and see the improvement
immediately! . Surgery is not an
answer: Restylane filler is. It is essentially painless due to a prior
application of a strong topical anesthetic cream; bruising is generally
absent or minimal. It is also the most cost effective procedure in
cosmetic medicine, since in this area of the face it typically lasts
18-36 months ( unlike moveable areas around the mouth ). Look for our

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Are over-the-counter acne products not
cutting it? According to the American
Academy of Dermatology,
virtually anyone’s acne, no matter how severe, can be treated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Exactly what causes acne? Acne develops when
cells and natural oils block tiny hair follicles in the skin. Bacteria work
their way into the plugged up follicles and start multiplying. When the body’s
immune cells move in to attack the bacteria, the results of the battle are the
classic symptoms of acne -- swelling, redness, and pimples. Acne medications
help by interrupting this process in different ways. Some over-the-counter and
prescription acne creams help by unplugging the follicles. Others, such as
antibiotics, kill the bacteria that move into the follicles. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">For mild to severe acne, a doctor might
recommend prescription treatments that are "topical," which means
they go on your skin. Topical treatments for teenage acne come in different
forms, including creams, lotions, gels and pads. Some teen girls have acne
that’s linked to hormones called androgens. To treat this sort of acne, a
doctor might recommend birth control pills or spironolactone. </span><br />

the acne treatment as prescribed<b>.</b></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">
It's important to stick to the doctor’s acne treatment. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Stop using other acne treatments<b>.</b></span> If a doctor has
prescribed an acne treatment, don't also use other treatments or home remedies.
They’re unlikely to help and they could even make the acne worse.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Stick with it.</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> Acne treatment won’t work immediately. It can take
six to eight weeks before you see some benefit. It may take as long as six
months to clear the skin altogether.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Do your part.</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> Follow the doctor’s skin care advice, particularly
when it comes to cleansing and using moisturizer. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Work with a doctor.</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> If treatment isn’t working, don't give up. It may
take some time to hit on the right approach. Schedule an appointment with a
doctor to discuss other options. Remember: With the right treatment, almost
every case of acne can be cured.</span><br />

With cosmetic treatment being such a predominant method of
aging in the media this generation has come to think of it as the societal norm.
They understand that lifestyle routines play a part in how we age and these
cosmetic treatments are not a solution to aging but a preventative measure. For
them there is nothing wrong with getting older but if there are ways to avoid
it a little longer there is no harm in using them. </div>

Among the most common procedures for twenty-something’s is
Botox for smooth skin and relax wrinkles. Juverderm is also used to soften
facial creases and fuller lips. </div>

Dermatologists do warn that these procedures are not meant

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Twin B smoked half a pack a day for 14 years, while her sister never
smoked. The loose skin under her eyes is typical for smokers, according
to Bahman Guyuron, MD, of Case Western Reserve University. It's one of
several visible signs -- shown on the following slides -- that tobacco
byproducts inside your body are harming your appearance. Twin B also got
more sun, damaging her skin from the outside, too. The combination of sun exposure and cigarette smoking causes:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Poor skin tone</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sagging skin and deeper wrinkles</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sagging arms and breasts</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lines around the lips</span></span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When you quit smoking, you make your skin more resistant to premature
aging. As for the wrinkles and age spots you already have, all is not
lost. Topical retinoids and antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E can be used to treat existing spots.
Wear sunscreen every day. You can also undertake treatments such as <a href="http://www.douglashamiltonmd.com/html/laser.html#resurfacing" target="_blank">Laser skin resurfacing</a>, <a href="http://www.douglashamiltonmd.com/html/laser.html#photofacial" target="_blank">IPL Photofacial</a>, and <a href="http://www.douglashamiltonmd.com/html/other.html#chemical" target="_blank">chemical peels</a> remove outer layers of skin, where the damage is most visible.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To protect your health and find out what results you want, a dermatologist always offers a consultation before performing a chemical
peel. To help you get the most benefit from this consultation,
dermatologists recommends that you:</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ask questions.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gather important information before your consultation.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You should ask the following questions before getting a chemical peel:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will a board-certified dermatologist perform the chemical peel?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How many chemical peels has the doctor performed on people with my skin coloring?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What will I need to do before and after the peel to get the best results?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What results can I expect?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What are the potential side effects?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Do I have a higher risk for any complications?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will I have downtime?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">May I see before-and-after photos or speak with patients you treated with a chemical peel?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How much will the treatment cost?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During the consultation, your dermatologist also can tell you whether another treatment would be a better option for you. You may find that your dermatologist recommends using more than one treatment. Results from many research studies show that combining treatments can lead to better, longer-lasting results.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Information to tell your dermatologist before getting a chemical peel</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before you get a chemical peel, be sure to tell your dermatologist the following information:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are taking or have ever taken isotretinoin, a medicine prescribed for severe acne. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All other medicines you take — or have recently taken. Be sure your dermatologist knows about antibiotics, acne medicines, and medicines that you buy without a prescription, such as aspirin. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you frequently get cold sores or have had cold sores in the past.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If your skin scars easily.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All herbs, vitamins, and minerals you take. Even if you haven’t taken these for a while, be sure to mention them. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All surgeries and cosmetic treatments you have had. While some patients feel embarrassed talking about this, the information you share can make a difference in the results you see. Don’t omit anything — even if it seems unimportant.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are considering any cosmetic treatment, be sure to watch this AAD video: <a href="http://www.aad.org/dermatology-a-to-z/health-and-beauty/every-stage-of-life/adult-skin/who-should-be-providing-your-cosmetic-treatment/who-should-be-providing-your-cosmetic-treatment-faqs">Who should be providing your cosmetic treatment?</a></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11552830693338993906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571672514543256372.post-26707982997613286392014-02-26T08:33:00.000-08:002014-02-26T08:43:49.649-08:00Introducing XEOMIN®<!--[if !mso]>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing
the skin to furrow and fold. These lines that occur due to facial mimics are
referred to as dynamic lines. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of
its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in XEOMIN<sup>®</sup> – is
used in facial aesthetic treatment to treat dynamic lines like glabellar
frown lines. It acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers
from contracting. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">By reducing these contractions, Xeomin can
temporarily reduce the frown lines on your forehead between your eyes. Xeomin typically lasts up to 3 months, however it varies person to person and may be significantly longer or shorter than 3 months. </span></span><br />
