How to “burn” belly fat?
That question comes up in the clinic regularly. It is asked by women who exercise several times a week, who run, and who in summer swim or tear about on a wakeboard instead of lying on the beach.
Read more →How to get rid of scars — what really works and what is a waste of time
An ointment from the pharmacy, a silicone patch, a massage with olive oil, an onion extract recommended online. Most people with a scar go down the same road — and after a few months end up in the same place.
Read more →How to get rid of wrinkles?

Melasma (chloasma) — why the usual methods for pigmentation marks fail here

In the morning under the shower, in a hurry, dry. In the evening before going out, because it shows after all. And again in three days.
Read more →Skincare after summer
