South Shore Skin Center Dermatologists Share Insight on Foods that are Good for the Skin

The adage “beauty comes from within” doesn’t just apply to the beauty of the soul…The beauty of your skin comes from within – and what you’ve been eating. The dermatologists at South Shore Skin Center know that beautiful skin depends on a number of factors and diet plays a significant part in your skin’s health and beauty.

South Shore Skin Center practitioners share their insight on various foods that may (and those that may not) help you maintain beautiful skin:

· Foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables are highly beneficial to the skin.

· Dairy is not beneficial to the skin, but it’s not bad for it either. There has been some controversy about dairy causing acne, but the doctors at South Shore Skin Center maintain that dairy does not cause acne.

· Whole grains that are low-fat are good for the skin. Bear in mind that grains such as flaxseed are better absorbed by the body if they are ground into meal before eating them. Adding at least one teaspoon of ground flaxseed to your diet per day is sufficient.

· Good hydration is good for the skin. Beware of drinking beverages containing caffeine, which is a diuretic. Drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages is not recommended because caffeine in large amounts will have a dehydrating effect. Drinking water is best for hydration.

· Try to eat foods that are rich in Omega 3s, which are essential fatty acids and benefit all organs. A typical diet that includes soybean oil has a much higher ratio of Omega 6, which actually blocks Omega 3 absorption. It’s better to eat foods made with olive or canola oil as these have a low ratio of Omega 6 and will not block the absorption of Omega 3s.

“When it comes to the health and beauty of the skin, the foods that we eat really do play an important part,” noted Dr. Richard Eisen, a board certified dermatologist and founder of South Shore Skin Center.

South Shore Skin Center is First to Offer Thermage Treatments for the Body

South Shore Skin Center, caring for thousands of patients at their dermatology offices in Cohasset and Plymouth, now offers Thermage treatments to patients looking to firm and tighten their arms, abdomen and thighs.

Always ahead of the curve, South Shore Skin Center practitioners now offer Thermage treatments for the body, which utilizes radio-frequency technology to tighten and contour the skin.

Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that effectively smoothes wrinkled, sagging skin on the upper arms, abdomen and thighs. Best of all, patients see results after one treatment and there is no recovery time.

“As we age, the collagen in our skin breaks down which results in wrinkles and sagging. Thermage is the ideal option for many patients who would like to take years off their skin. It does not involve surgery, anesthesia or injections. There’s no downtime and a treatment takes approximately 90 minutes,” explained Dr. Richard Eisen, dermatologist at South Shore Skin Center.

To arrange a Thermage consultation with a South Shore Skin Center practitioner, contact at 508-747-0711.
