iPhone app for acne?

Here is a novel invention by dermatologist, Dr. Greg Pearson. He has made an iPhone app that is supposed to help fight acne! The iPhone app works by making the iPhone LED screen emit both red and blue light at a specific wavelength. Although it seems slightly unusual, there is actually a scientific basis to it all. LED phototherapy for acne is a known technique of treating this problem. It uses red and blue LED light to treat acne – and this has been emulated by Dr. Pearson’s iPhone app. Blue light can help to reduce counts of the bacteria, propionibacterium acnes, that cause acne, and red LED light can help to reduce the inflammation associated with acne.

Solutions and Treatment Tools in Focus.

Injectable Lip Enhancement

Injectable lip enhancement is the procedure of strategically injecting dermal fillers into parts of the lip and surrounding lip areas to enhance, shape, or add volume to the lips and reduce surrounding wrinkles. Our doctors are highly experienced in lip enhancement, and also, some of our doctors train other doctors Australia wide on how to inject lips.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to fill or replace the lost volume in static wrinkles, lines and folds. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, they do not affect facial muscle contraction. Generally, dermal fillers are used in the treatment of wrinkles, lines, and folds that appear at rest, rather than those that appear during facial expression. Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance, define, or enlarge lips, and to shape the face by injection into cheeks, chins, and noses.
