/0 Comments/in /by

The opportunity to achieve a bright eyesight is always there. It’s only a matter of taking it.

Don Conde, Government Service Insurance System Employee, has been aiming for a clear eyesight since 2015 and he finally achieved it after having TransPRK at Shinagawa.

“Since 2015, I’ve been wanting to get rid of my eyeglasses, which were 300/275 and 75+ astigmatism for both eyes.”

“I grabbed the opportunity to have a clear eyesight with TransPRK at a very reasonable price at Shinagawa and my experience was amazing!” shared Don.

“Reading the testimonials of other patients and watching on YouTube with research made me confident about the procedure and convinced me to do it. When Shinagawa offered a good promo, I didn’t think twice.”

He was thrilled to have a vision better than 20/20 following the procedure.

“Now, I have a 20/12 vision, which is even beyond a normal 20/20 vision. Goodbye eyeglasses!”

Our TransPRK at Shinagawa is top-notch. It might be the right procedure for you!

Diet Tips for a Healthy Skin

Diet Tips for a Healthy Skin

/0 Comments/in /by

So much of your skin’s health starts from the inside. That’s why it’s so important to eat a healthy diet that benefits not just your overall health, but the health of your skin. After all, your skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system. Along with regular checkups and adamant sun protection, we recommend exercising regularly and eating these healthy foods to maintain a glowing complexion:

Fruits and Veggies

We all know it’s important to eat your vegetables, but fruits can also help out with skin health! Tomatoes, citrus fruits and strawberries all contain vitamins and nutrients that aid skin clarity. For instance, tomatoes contain lycopene, which is a phytochemical that helps protect against sun damage. All the more reason for a tomato salad in the heat of summer!

Leafy Greens

Leafy greens like spinach, kale and collard greens contain antioxidants like Vitamins C, E and A, all of which help with a healthy glow and less hyperpigmentation. They also contain iron, folate, chlorophyll, magnesium, fiber and protein, which help with stress, sleep and overall health. If you only eat greens when they’re fried or on a burger, it’s definitely time to eat more salads or drink pure juices! Your skin and mind will thank you!

Nuts and Seeds

Almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds are simply wonderful for skin health. They are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that assist in nourishing your skin from the inside out!

Healthy Fats

It’s not hard to incorporate more delicious healthy fats into your diet. Salmon, avocado and sweet potato all work hard to provide nourishment and moisturize your skin. The combination of those three tossed over a bed of spinach and dressed in olive oil and lemon juice sounds like an excellent lunch or dinner option! Delicious, filling and skin-serving!

The Good Stuff

Red wine has been proven to have several health benefits, especially since it contains flavonoid, resveratrol and tannin. These properties can boost collagen and elastic fibers, which helps with aging. Some folks even apply it topically! Dark chocolate also contains antioxidants which promote a healthy glow. When consumed in moderation, these treats can provide fabulous benefits to your skin!

Water

Are you getting your eight glasses a day? Hydration is necessary for a clear, glowing complexion! Your skin is an organ that is made up of cells, which are made up of water. If they don’t receive enough H2O, they won’t function as they should and you’ll be left looking dry and flaky. Water is the best moisturizer!

If you’re ready to talk more about skin health and how you can maintain a healthy glow, make an appointment with our dermatologists today.

Crying Can Be Good: Why We Need Tears

Crying Can Be Good: Why We Need Tears

/0 Comments/in /by

We usually only think about tears when we are crying as part of our body’s emotional response to a certain situation or laughing so hard that our eyes begin to water. While tears might typically be far from our minds, the truth is that they are actually a vital part of our eye health. In fact, there are several types of tears and various reasons that we need them to maintain healthy eyesight throughout life.

Tears Protect Our Eyes on a Daily Basis

Did you know that tears protect our eyes on a daily basis? Each eye has a special tear film that creates a barrier between the eye’s vulnerable surface and outside irritants, allergens, and germs. This protective film consists of three different layers. The mucous layer sits directly on top of the cornea; the aqueous layer consists of saltwater and is the basis for our tears, while the outer layer is oily. Together, all three layers help our eyes stay lubricated and clean throughout the day. In fact, with every blink, the protective film creates tears that wash microscopic debris and irritants from our eyes, keep our vision clear, and help our eyes stay comfortable in a wide variety of conditions.

Tears Keep Our Eyes Comfortable and Offer Emotional Benefits

The aqueous layer of the protective tear film creates both reflex and emotional tears. These two types of tears have numerous benefits. As their name suggests, reflex tears are our eyes’ natural response when they need to flush out debris and other irritants. Emotional tears help to clear out stress-causing chemicals. In fact, this is why we often cry when we are faced with emotional situations. Together, reflexes and emotional tears help our eyes and bodies find relief in a wide variety of circumstances.

Too Many Tears or Dry Eyes?

Are your eyes constantly wet or overflowing with tears? Or perhaps you have the opposite problem and dry eyes are causing you discomfort. Dry eyes can occur from allergens, abnormal tear production, as a response to medication, age, and other reasons. Dry eyes can not only be uncomfortable, but they can lead to other eye issues. The good news is that our eye experts are here to help. To cure your dry eyes, and ensure that your vision is healthy, be sure to schedule an eye appointment with us!

Tips for Getting Better Beauty Sleep

Tips for Getting Better Beauty Sleep

/0 Comments/in /by

There’s more involved with getting a good night’s rest than simply hitting the pillow.

To reap the benefits of your beauty sleep, you’ll need to put in some extra (and easy) effort to create the perfect sleep environment and routine. While this may sound counterintuitive, the results will be worth it!

Here are some tips for getting better beauty sleep:

  • Stick to a consistent sleep schedule – Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can help regulate your body’s circadian rhythm, improving sleep quality. Most adults should get between seven to nine hours of rest each night.
  • Create a relaxing sleep environment – Your bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet, with comfortable bedding and a supportive mattress.
  • Limit screen time before bed – The blue light emitted by electronic devices can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep.
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed – Both can interfere with sleep quality and make it harder to fall asleep.
  • Practice relaxation techniques – Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing can all help to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
  • Prioritize your nightly skincare routine – Your board-certified dermatologist can help you identify specific skin concerns and recommend products or treatments that complement your beauty sleep routine.

It’s also important to note that while getting enough sleep is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, it’s not the only factor. Other lifestyle habits, such as a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and stress management, can also affect skin health. 

Working with an experienced dermatologist will allow you to identify the root causes of your skin troubles and create unique solutions to achieve shining skin.
