Taboo Corner

Have an embarrassing question you're afraid to ask even your doctor? Anything goes in our Taboo Corner. Ask us your most personal questions and we'll post the answers here. It's a discrete way to get the information you need about having beautiful skin, and it's completely anonymous.

We also invite you to meet with us in person. Free consultations are available to talk with us about accommodating your own taboo.

Q. My husband sweats excessively. He's tried every antiperspirant out there but still suffers. It's so bad that all of his shirts have stains under the arms that I can't get rid of (not to mention the smell.) Are there any treatments available to help him?

A. Excessive perspiration, also known as Hyperhidrosis, can be very embarrassing to both men and women. Thankfully we can help treat this condition without expensive and invasive surgeries. By injecting Botox® into the sweat glands we can help to significantly improve this condition. Many clients also treat problem areas with laser hair removal for best results.

Q. I've been told I have what are called cherry angiomas that are in clusters all over my stomach. I am very sensitive about their appearance and was wondering if there is anything I can do to fade or remove them?

A. Cherry angiomas very common - they appear as bright red spots on the surface of the skin and are benign. The good news is that we can easily remove them with a simple laser procedure.

Q. I have a rather large skin tag on my neck and every time I wear a necklace it gets caught up on it. It's starting to give me the willies and I want it removed! What's the process?

A. Skin tags are skin growths that look like a small piece of hanging skin. Skin tags commonly appear on eyelids, neck, armpits, upper chest (particularly under the female breasts), and groin folds - usually where skin rubs against skin or clothing. Removal is a simple process that can be done in our office by our physician.

Q. Can you do laser hair removal anywhere? It seems like I have hair all over and I'm afraid your technicians will be grossed out if I come in.

A. Unwanted hair can be a sensitive issue for both men and women. Our technicians are used to working with clients to help them feel better about themselves - we don't want you to feel embarrassed coming to us for help. We can treat unwanted hair almost anywhere on the body - most common treatment areas are the face, underarms, legs, backs, and bikini areas. We promise to treat you with kindness and respect.

Q. My sister is undergoing chemotherapy treatments and has lost her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. As you can imagine, she's very uncomfortable going out in public. I know you do laser hair removal, but do you do anything to help stimulate hair growth?

A. We are pleased to offer Latisse™. Latisse™ is a topical treatment that is commonly used to increase eyelash length and fullness, but it is also very effective in growing eyelashes and eyebrows in many chemotherapy patients. We would love to talk to your sister to see if this treatment is a good fit for her.
