San Fernando Valley Dermatologist, Dr. Peyman Ghasri, Comments on the Link Found between Skin and Endocrine Disorders

    TARZANA, CA, January 29, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Skin is the body's biggest and most visible organ, and recent research indicates that it may give us valuable clues about what is going on inside our bodies. According to "JAMA Dermatology," certain skin conditions can indicate endocrine or systemic health issues. Dr. Peyman Ghasri, dermatologist in San Fernando Valley, comments on the link found between skin and endocrine disorders.

In one study outlined in the journal, adult men with acne were two times more likely to show signs of insulin resistance compared to men with clearer skin. Study participants were divided into men with acne and those without, and the men, who were between 20 and 32, were further divided according to the severity of their acne. Another profiled study focused on women with a median age of 28. Nearly 70 percent of the women met the diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome, and most of them had at least one skin problem, such as abnormal hair growth, acne and dark spots on their skin.

The studies reveal that acne and similar problems may be far more than superficial skin problems. When patients have skin issues, they often seek the advice of experienced dermatologists. These studies, which are described in ScienceDaily.com, give dermatologists the information they need to go beyond the surface and determine if additional testing or a referral may be needed.

San Fernando Valley skin tightening expert, Dr. Ghasri, regularly sees patients with acne, hirsutism, melasma and similar issues. He offers the full spectrum of skin care that includes both cosmetic and medical dermatological treatments. Patients can benefit from a variety of options, including:

- Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse
- Botox and Dysport
- Facial peels
- Varicose vein treatments
- Laser resurfacing
- Laser hair removal
