Lipstick, Foundation and More

Technology is improving exponentially and with it improving the beautification techniques. There was a time when people had no other option but to be content with age lines and wrinkles, but now things are different. With the latest wrinkle filler, one can bid adieu to the age lines and wrinkles.

The wrinkle filler, which at times is also referred as dermal filler by the dermatologists and other medical professionals, can reduce wrinkles either temporarily or permanently and can improve the skin’s radiance. Permanent fillers cannot be removed once they have been injected without scarring face tissue and, as they are prone to cause adverse reactions like infections and swelling; many specialists do not advocate this course of treatment.

Instead, temporary wrinkle fillers are usually administered. These are much safer and the majority of adverse reactions reported by patients are limited to short-term redness, lumpiness and mild bruising. A temporary treatment lasts anything from two months to two years, depending on which filler is used and where wrinkles are located.  Read more...

Plastic Surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the appearance and self-esteem of an individual. Some plastic surgery procedures are gaining popularity these days. One of them is Liposuction which removes unwanted localized deposits of fat cells from the body. The procedure is meant for body contouring. It is not a treatment of obesity. A suction tube is inserted through a tiny incision placed in an inconspicuous location on the skin. With a high pressure vacuum, fat cells are extracted through this tube.

With the Tumescent Technique, large volumes of saline solution, local anesthesia, and adrenaline are infused into the fatty area being treated to cause swelling. This enables your surgeon to maneuver a small instrument called a cannula, connected to a vacuum machine, superficially under the skin. The cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue through tiny incisions.

Your surgeon gently moves it around under your skin and suctions away the unwanted fatty deposits. The most frequent areas treated by liposuction in men are the “love handles”, breasts, abdomen and neckline. In women they include: thighs, hips, buttocks, stomach, knees, lower leg, cheeks, and double chins. Some women elect to have their fat recycled through lipo-augmentation.  Read more...
