ANN ARBOR, MI, April 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Although over-the-counter products may claim to minimize facial wrinkles and frown lines, Dr. Albert C. Cattell, who specializes in skin care at Ann Arbor Dermatology, warns that many of these products may not be as effective or as long-lasting as BOTOX Cosmetic.
A number of products currently on the market are being dubbed "natural BOTOX" or "green BOTOX" because they contain natural ingredients such as hibiscus seeds and other organic plant substances touted for their skin-smoothing and skin-tightening abilities.
"I find that while some of these products may make the face appear smoother, their effect doesn't last," says Dr. Cattell, a board-certified dermatologist near Detroit. "These products only affect the surface of the skin, while BOTOX is injected under the skin, causing the muscle to relax and release the tension that causes dynamic wrinkles such as deep frown lines in the forehead."
With many years of experience administering BOTOX for Detroit area patients, Dr. Cattell understands which products will provide long-lasting results.
"Although these so-called 'natural' products may seem safer and less expensive than BOTOX, in the long run the cost adds up because the product must be continually re-applied," he says. "One treatment of BOTOX can last several months, while these over-the-counter creams must be applied continually to maintain what little effect they may have.
"And as far as safety is concerned, I've never had patients suffer any adverse effects from BOTOX, other than perhaps a bit of swelling or bruising at the injection site that completely disappeared in a few days."
Dr. Cattell, who has been in practice in the Detroit area since 1979, screens his patients carefully for any health problems or other factors that may result in adverse reactions to cosmetic skin treatments.
In addition to offering a wide variety of cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels and laser hair removal, Dr. Cattell treats the full range of clinical skin concerns and specializes in Mohs micrographic surgery for the treatment of skin cancer. As a result, Dr. Cattell's cosmetic dermatology patients feel secure and confident. They know he has the skill and experience they can trust when it comes to choosing a dermatologist in the Detroit area.
Dr. Albert C. Cattell is a board-certified dermatologist serving the Plymouth, Ann Arbor, and Metro Detroit, Michigan areas. He treats a full range of skin concerns, with special emphasis on skin cancer. Dr. Cattell graduated summa cum laude from Western Michigan University. After graduating from the University of Michigan Medical School, Dr. Cattell completed his four years of residency training at the University of Michigan. He has been in the private practice of dermatology with specialization in Mohs microscopic surgery and cutaneous cancer since 1979.

Even positive stereotypes can hinder performance, researchers report
2012-04-25
CHAMPAIGN, lll. — Does hearing that you are a member of an elite group – of chess players, say, or scholars – enhance your performance on tasks related to your alleged area of expertise? Not necessarily, say researchers who tested how sweeping pronouncements about the skills or likely success of social groups can influence children's performance.
The researchers found that broad generalizations about the likely success of a social group – of boys or girls, for example – actually undermined both boys' and girls' performance on a challenging activity.
The new study appears ...
As Lupus Awareness Month Approaches... a Reminder for Early Diagnosis
2012-04-25
Lupus is a devastating disease, the multitude of symptoms, the pain and suffering for those who have the disease, plus it's a challenge for the medical community to diagnose. Many times, someone with lupus will see upwards of 3 to 5 doctors before finally getting a correct diagnosis. And for many, a diagnosis will never come, and they will die with a disease they never knew existed. According to Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus - a Northwest based lupus awareness organization - lupus is one of the few diseases with a rising mortality rate. Only awareness, education, and faster ...

Wild birds respond differently to the first long days of a year
2012-04-25
This press release is available in German.
The lengthening of days in late winter is an important signal that stimulates the reproductive activity of many animals. Animals living in the milder climatic conditions of southern Europe usually begin breeding earlier in spring compared to animals living in colder habitats further north. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology and colleagues have now discovered that day length affects gene activity differentially in the brain of great tit populations from central and North Europe. This is particularly ...
Mental stress may be harder on women's hearts
2012-04-25
SAN DIEGO— Coronary artery disease continues to be a major cause of death in the U.S., killing hundreds of thousands of people per year. However, this disease burden isn't evenly divided between the sexes; significantly more men than women are diagnosed with coronary artery disease each year. The reasons behind this difference aren't well defined. Though some studies have shown that men's hearts become more constricted than women's during exercise, letting less blood flow through, women are more likely than men to have symptoms of heart trouble after emotional upsets.
