Dr. Darm Aesthetic Medicine Minute - Sun Damage
SUN DAMAGE
Sun Damage can occur through direct sunlight or by over exposure in a tanning booth. A small amount of sun is beneficial and activates vitamin D in the skin which helps make strong bones and teeth. Over exposure causes premature aging, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, brownish spots known as "age spots" or "liver spots" and several types of cancer. Even dark skin can be damaged by the sun but very light skin is the most vulnerable. Ultraviolet light liberates a "free radical" in the skin which leads to damage to the DNA in the cells. These cells can then produce an overabundance of melanin (brownish skin pigment) which can initially produce tanning but later yields enlarged brownish areas. The over exposure can also lead to several types of skin cancers including melanomas. Sunburn accelerates these changes and is even more dangerous than constant tanning.
Intense pulsed light devices (IPL) used at Aesthetic Medicine, such as the Syneron IPL can target damaged areas while sparing undamaged areas. Biopsies of these areas have shown actual reversal of scarring, inflammation, broken capillaries, and pigmentation which characterized sun damaged skin. By adding a very small amount of liquid nitrogen to pinpoint precancerous and pigmented areas, significant rejuvenation can be accomplished with minimal down time. Several treatments are required to achieve desired results but rejuvenation can be dramatic. The combination of these two noninvasive modalities is much more effective than any single treatment. These treatments are relatively painless.

Dr. Darm: Race To Be Your Best
We ran into a friend who suggested we host a Botox party… our first thought was, “Do we need Botox?” Are we really “there”? Then we looked at her face—she’s got the skin of a 25-year-old and not a wrinkle in sight. There’s something to be said for that.
She also has a flat tummy (which we haven’t had since the 6th grade) and thin thighs. We might have to hate her. But instead, we’re looking to improve our self-image by improving our physical self. (And trust—we’ve done enough soul-searching and emotional growing to know that no matter how many times we say no to cupcakes or yes to 10 more reps at the gym, we can’t fight the power of natural aging without a little help.)
So we turn to Aesthetic Medicine - and we’re thrilled to share that they are a proud partner of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Dr. Darm has made a year-round pledge of platinum-level partnership to the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. And this year marks the 20th Annual Komen Portland Race for the Cure, happening on September 18.
Be safe, be informed, and be happy with yourself. But if you want to make changes—for yourself and for others, check out Dr. Darm’s medical weight-loss program by clicking here, and sign up for the Race for the Cure by clicking here.

Dr. Darm is proud to announce his Platinum Partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Dr. Darm and Aesthetic Medicine Are Proud to Announce Their Platinum Partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
Dr. Darm, Aesthetic Medicine, proudly announces their year-round Platinum Level Partnership with the Oregon & SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. This partnership illustrates Dr. Darm’s commitment to raising awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dr. Darm of Aesthetic Medicine joins the ranks of thousands of supporters with his year-round pledge of partnership to the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Dr. Darm has become a leader in promoting weight loss and healthy lifestyles; platinum level partnership with Susan G. Komen is an important step in furthering this commitment.
This year marks the 20th Annual Komen Portland Race for the Cure, September 18, 2011. The Race for the Cure is the Affiliate’s largest fundraising and breast cancer awareness event. The Race for the Cure provides funding for critical programs including Komen’s free mammogram screenings for uninsured women, education for early detection and survivor support.
“It's clear that Komen’s work has made a difference for women and men with breast cancer,” said Dr. Darm. “Mortality rates from breast cancer are down 31 percent in 20 years -- this is due in large part to the important educational efforts of Susan G. Komen.”
There are many women in the Northwest who are in need of Komen’s services. In fact, 57,000 women in Oregon are eligible for Komen's free screening program, but there are only enough funds to screen 8,000 of the women who qualify for this life-saving program. In addition, the five-year survival rates for early stage cancers have increased to 98%; this is up from 74% when Komen firstbegan this work.
“There are still many women who don’t understand their risks, or are simply too frightened to seek information,” said Dr. Darm. “Komen’s efforts to educate women about early detection are literally saving lives. We are honored to partner with Susan G. Komen and support their efforts to create a world without breast cancer.”
Dr. Darm opened Aesthetic Medicine in 1995. Initially specializing in weight loss, he expanded his services to include hair removal and rosacea treatments in 1997. Since that time, new services have been added yearly to promote health, wellness and beauty. Dr. Darm graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. His medical training was obtained at OHSU.
