A Non-Surgical Approach To Wrinkles
In a recent article in the New York Times entitled “Taking a Nip Out of the Tuck” the author poses the question, "Are Americans experiencing cosmetic surgery fatigue?" Click here to read the article.
The numbers of major cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery) and facelift have decreased by 30% over the past 12 months. Economics is a factor. But the author suggests there may be another trend as well - a backlash against an unnatural look.
A new approach that can provide a “non-surgical” face lift is the use of some of the longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse or Sculptra to fill in hollows in the cheeks, chin and temples. The volume enhancement restores the soft fullness of a more youthful face with only minimal downtime.

 Hair Removal
For smooth legs, it’s best to shave after using a body scrub
to exfoliate in the shower. Waxing is another option with results
lasting several weeks. Chemical depilatories, although messy,
are good for those with sensitive skin. Laser hair removal,
supervised by a dermatologist is another option. Most patients will have 80% permanent reduction after a series of 6-10 treatments.

Treating A Sunburn
Everyone gets sunburn, despite taking all precautions.
Here are some tips to ease the symptoms.
Tips:
• Drink plenty of fluids-especially those that replace
electrolytes-try coconut water sold at Whole Foods,
not too sweet and very high in potassium
• Take aspirin or Tylenol for headache, fever or chills
• Soak in a cool bath
• Apply moisturizers
• A helpful home remedy- apply compresses of a washcloth soaked
in cold skim milk (the milk protein creates a protective film over the skin) |
