While BOTOX and derma fillers seem to get all the good press, we shouldn’t forget about another non-invasive procedure that might be just the choice for you. IPL, or intense pulsed light, is another popular treatment for several specific conditions. In fact, IPL may treat several conditions at the same time. Vascular conditions, such as broken capillaries (spider veins), sun or age spots; rosacea; some loss of firmness; and enlarged...
Your participation in the success of your non-invasive beauty treatment doesn’t end until the final results are achieved. During treatment, of course, an experienced practitioner with a very practiced and gentle touch, is your best assurance of minimal bruising and other side effects. However, there is some information you might consider and employ. For example, some numbing agents, applied 20 – 30 minutes prior to treatment, may also reduce bruising...
Even the most successful treatment such as dermal filler often results in some measure of side effects. Among the most common are swelling, soreness, redness, bruising, itching and, more rarely, some inflammation at the injection site. After all, the skin will usually react any time it’s penetrated by a needle. But it’s usually not severe or long-lasting. In fact, most side effects may be treated with over-the-counter medications and disappear...
The good news about the natural aging process is that it’s natural, and a process. It doesn’t sneak up on you overnight. You don’t look into the mirror one morning and, suddenly, see lines and wrinkles. When you do begin to notice that there’s something slightly different about your appearance – a frown or laugh line, a crinkle around your eyes where only a twinkle used to be – today there...
While there are so many factors, at work, to accelerate the aging process, fortunately, medical science is working to slow it down. The sun, smoking, stress, diet, chemicals and other environmental factors may create creases, lines and wrinkles, before their time. Gravity and the natural aging process do the rest. Sagging skin, furrows and folds increase over time. But with the advent of BOTOX Cosmetic, in 2002, the world of...
There is no doubt that your smile is, usually, the first feature that people notice about you. It’s also the feature they, often, remember most; a beautiful smile lingers in the mind’s eye. So it’s no wonder that full, well-shaped lips have become one of the most desirable facial features on the beauty wish-list today. Last week we examined some of the causes, products and benefits of lip augmentation. Now...

The one constant about beauty tips and trends is that they are constantly changing. At least, most of the time. Sometimes a look or a feature becomes so admired and so desirable that it actually becomes a part of our pop culture. Full, well-defined, lush-looking lips are one of those phenomenons. As often happens, it’s the glamour of Hollywood, or the entertainment industry, in general, that creates the demand for the...
With its most recent FDA-approval, BOTOX continues on its walk to the wonder drug hall of fame. Since BOTOX Cosmetic was first approved for the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles, by the FDA, in 2002, manufacturer Allergan now has approximately 90 patents or patents pending for the potential and very diverse uses of this drug. Wonder drug, indeed. In 2010, BOTOX received FDA-approval for the treatment of severe Migraine...
Since 2002, when BOTOX was approved by the FDA, for the cosmetic treatment of lines and wrinkles, this revolutionary drug has been heralded as the first sip at the Fountain of Youth. But, according to BOTOX manufacturer, Allergan, the drug’s medical and therapeutic uses may, eventually, far outweigh its cosmetic popularity. Currently, the company owns or has “pending” more than 90 patents for BOTOX. It has been tested and successfully...
Depending upon the patient’s own healing process, as well as the practitioner’s technique, there may be varying degrees of swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, bumps and other minor, but noticeable, side effects. But there is another factor that also plays a role in reducing the temporary side effects of BOTOX, Restylane, Juvederm and other non-invasive cosmetic dermatology procedures –your pre and post-treatment precautions! Yes, there are things you can do to...
