The Candela SmoothBeam laser helps to renew the skin by stimulating collagen production which improves skin texture, tone, smoothness and also aids in improving the appearance of fine lines and scars.

Acne scars are the result of the body's inflammatory response during an active acne breakout that form at the site of an injury to the tissue and remain after the tissue repairs itself. The SmoothBeam Laser is a great option for patients that have acne scars and desire non invasive treatment to help reduce their appearance and improve skin clarity and texture.

SmoothBeam treatments usually take approximately 30 mintues to 1 hour, and require 3-5 treatments for visible results. This laser treatment is non-ablative, which does not affect the skin's surface, but rather penetrates directly to the tissue below. Ice is applied during the cousre of treatment and it is recommended that patients take 400-600mg of ibuprofen (Advil) one hour before treatment.

My hearts been beating quite rapidly, is this hormonal? Can it be treated with hormone therapy?

February 17th

Since I have been experiencing perimenopause, I have had occasional bouts of rapid heartbeat. It is actually very scary. Is this hormonal and is it anything to be concerned about? Can it be treated with hormone therapy?

Heart racing and being able to notice your heart beating can be associated with menopause. I would check your hormone levels and replace any deficient hormones and see if the symptoms resolve. Additionally, it would be wise to see your primary care physician to have an EKG performed to make sure there are no additional issues to be dealt with but typically mild symptoms are related to menopause.

Are there any hormone related symptoms other than menopause that are frequently treated with bioidentical hormones?

There are many hormone related symptoms that are related to menopause that we do not necessarily think of other than the hot flashes and night sweats. Other symptoms of menopause include mood changes, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, hair thinning, osteopenia or osteoporosis, weight gain, libido changes, difficulty sleeping, mood swings, etc.
