Non-Surgical treatments for wrinkles or scarring Dr. Bryan McIntosh

Dr. Bryan McIntosh, a solo plastic surgeon in private practice in Bellevue, Washington joins eHealth Radio's Plastic Surgery Information Channel. Dr. McIntosh completed residencies in general surgery, burn and wound surgery, and plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Bryan McIntosh discuss the following:
What do plastic surgeons know now about skin care that they didn't know in the past?
What should everyone be using to care for their skin?
Bring some clarity to the various laser types of treatments that are available.
What non-surgical treatments are there for wrinkles or scarring?
What role does plastic surgery play in all of this?


About Dr. Bryan McIntosh
When I went to Seattle Pacific University in the fall of 1992, I was going to be a chemical engineer. A week and a half later, my plans changed. I fell in love with the Russian language and culture, traveled to Europe for two quarters while at SPU, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in European Studies with an emphasis in Russian. All throughout this time, I took the chemistry, biology, and physics classes all premedical students take, making the Dean's List as most Type A premedical students do. I spent a large amount of my time during college and for over a year after graduation at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Virginia Mason Research Center. Combatting cancer in the laboratory was fascinating, but it was too far removed from real life for me to commit my own life to it.
I moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1998 to attend medical school at St. Louis University. I was on my way to becoming a pediatrician. I've always loved kids, having cared for many little cousins and my own sister, changing many a diaper along the way. A couple years into the four-year program, I realized tackling a problem and fixing it at the source with my hands was far more gratifying. Surgery was my new path, and there has been no looking back.
New Haven, Connecticut was my new home for the next five years as I completed a general surgery residency with a major teaching affiliate hospital of Yale University. I went to Long Island, New York for a one year fellowship in burn and wound reconstruction at Nassau University Medical Center. The following two years were spent intensively training with the amazing plastic surgeons at Long Island Plastic Surgical Group, the oldest and largest group of plastic surgeons in the United States.
I could never commit to learning just one focused, specific thing. That would lose my interest too quickly. That's one reason why plastic surgery is such a perfect field for me. I can see very old adults, very young children, and everyone in between. Surgeries involve skin, muscles, bones, tendons, nerves, vessels, and various prosthetics. One plastic surgical problem never has just one solution, and it's always nice to have options. The experiences I've had throughout life, in college and medical school, in the U.S. and many other countries, have afforded me a unique ability to view one problem from many angles and come up with several solutions. I love shedding new light on situations with my patients, educating them as to the various options they have, offering hope and opportunity to achieve their goals.

Larenim Mineral Make Up with Kirsten Corcoran

Kirsten Corcoran, the Founder & Creative Director for Larenim Mineral Make Up joins eHealth Radio and the Skin Care Health Channel.
Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Kirsten Corcoran discuss the following:
What sets Larenim apart from other mineral brands?
What are some of your spot light products and MUST HAVE staples?
How do you come up with new products? Are you thinking about the trends in the health/wellness and cosmetic industry or what women, the average Larenim consumer is seeking?
What are some simple tips you have for looking younger in regards to make up and skin care, what Larenim products would you recommend?
What are your top 5 beauty tips, myths and advice for looking anti-aging, looking gorgeous and feeling good?


Kirsten Corcoran, Founder and Creative Director of Larenim Mineral Make Up has over 25 years as a health and wellness expert in the beauty/cosmetic industry. She continues to develop innovative products that surpass her competitors as well as educate and build awareness when it comes to clean, healthy make up and skin care.
Coming from Kirsten, "I have worked 28 years in the natural Product’s Industry, 22 of them as an owner of a health food and supplement store in Columbus, Ohio,” which is not your average background for a cosmetics manufacturer. With her knowledge of the natural product industry Kirsten strives to bring the toxicology of current makeup brands to the forefront of inspection in the media.
According to Kirsten, "Studies of risk perception examine the judgments people make when they are asked to characterize and evaluate hazardous activities and consumer products. But although this research aims to aid risk analysis and policy-making by providing a basis for understanding and anticipating public responses to hazards and improving the communication of risk information among people, technical experts, and decision-makers and more importantly marketing departments; when it comes to the world of cosmetics we are bombarded by marketing ploys, gimmicks, quirks, and cosmetic companies driven by buyers over policy-makers. Safety is a concern we leave to the experts of the FDA, although with a subjective system laid out by the Division of Pharmacology it is often okay to question the system's requirements, standards, and even motives on some. As the climate of safety grows unstable on the cosmetics front, it is only a matter of time before ethical and conscious brands make a step to rise above the marketing chatter and toward a drive of safety and wellness."
With Kirsten taking a leadership role in a cleaner cosmetics industry, she hopes to share her knowledge of natural solutions and help expand this ideology throughout the beauty industry. As the mother of five, ECO activist, and business owner, it is flabbergasting how she finds the time to put so much research and understanding into each of her products and the industry as a whole. With a new skin care line under the Larenim name and the only natural, organic, and completely hazardous chemical-free mineral make-up on the market, Kirsten is making waves in the ECO community. Although, with a brand under her belt and a thirst for knowledge and wellness awareness Kirsten is pursuing the media to get her story through and answer questions from consumers on the true safety of cosmetics. “I am hoping to promote beauty in a way that connects with a healthy and green lifestyle,” says Kirsten on her goals for awareness.

What can a patient expect on the day of surgery?
How effective is the Mohs Surgery?
How often should one be seeking checkups to prevent skin cancer?
What age group is at more risk for skin cancer?
What should a patient look for when choosing a Doctor to perform Mohs?


Dr. Richard Asarch heads the Asarch Center for Dermatology and Laser in Denver, CO, its accompanying state-of-the-art DermaSpa and is an Associate Clinical Professor for the Dept. of Dermatology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. As one of America’s top medical doctors, Dr. Asarch has spent 35 years in practice evaluating and adopting the latest advances in cosmetic dermatology. His experience and continued dedication to skin wellness led to the creation of DermaSpaRx, a comprehensive line of products designed to meet the needs of individual skin types.
An innovator in skin health, Dr. Asarch published his first book, “Turn Back Your Face Years” after studying the aging process of patients’ skin over decades. His theories on how skin ages and how that process could be remedied include dietary aspects he has addressed in his second book, “Beautiful Skin Diet” -recipes with ingredients that promote healthier skin.
These two pieces, topical skin care and diet, are two facets of what Dr. Asarch calls the four spheres in a complete skin care regime. The other two spheres are prevention and procedures. He practices his four-sphere theory out of his offices in Denver, CO where he also opened the first medical spa in the state.
His credentials start with earning his undergrad and medical school degrees at the University of Iowa. After he completed his internship at Good Samaritan Hospital in Oregon, he served as a General Medical Officer at McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, Washington. He studied for a year in the Department of Otolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Iowa followed by another year of general surgery residency at the same institution. In addition to his private practice, he is currently an Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in the Department of Dermatology.
Dr. Asarch introduced Mohs Micrographic surgery, the procedure that has the highest cure rate for all skin cancers, to the State of Colorado in 1977 after he had studied with Dr. Frederic Mohs in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1983, Dr. Asarch was the first doctor in Colorado to incorporate laser treatments for skin issue correction. His current practice now houses seven state of the art lasers.
Dr. Asarch set up his dermatology and medical DermaSpa practices across the hall from each other, to give patients instant access when medical and cosmetic dermatological issues intertwine.
Dr. Asarch is married and has four sons and one daughter.
