Botox: How Often Should You Get It
Many of you may wonder just how many times per year one should get Botox, or how many times one can get Botox before it 
becomes unsafe. Regarding efficacy, the average length of time between Botox injections is between 4 and 9 months. Obviously, the range will vary from person to person, but the manufacture (Allergan) suggests injections every 4 months as the most effective suggestion in the average patient. Based upon my experience, I feel this time frame is best for me as well.

Gummy Bear Implants: A Future Choice in Breast Augmentation?
Currently, there are two types of breast implants approved for sale in the United States, the saline-filled implant and the silicone-filled implant. However, clinical studies on a newer type of silicone-filled implant are now underway. This implant, which contains a type of silicone that is almost solid, is called a high-strength silicone gel implant and is available only as an investigational device at this time.
Silicone-filled implants have evolved over the years, from shells filled with a silicone the consistency of thin oil to current models that are filled with a silicone gel that is described as a soft solid. These more solid implants are being called cohesive implants or high-strength gel implants. They have also been nicknamed “gummy bear” implants, because the gel filler has the consistency of the candies by that name.
Cellulite Treatment Options: My Best Picks
I HATE CELLULITE! I’d like to have a word or two with the one who decided this was a good idea. Sorry, but BAD IDEA.
What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite is not caused by a build up of toxins in your skin, and you cannot purge them with a cleanse or a pill, so don’t believe the hype. Cellulite is a connective tissue anomaly where the connective tissue bands, called fibrous septa (or septae, plural) sclerose (harden) from age or genetics and tighten. This tightening causes the skin to be pulled down and the fat to bulge between them. As you gain weight this can cause more bulging, however weight gain is not completely necessary for cellulite to be visible. Although I do notice that mine is better when I am at a good body fat percentage.

All I can do is sit in front of the TV and watch the news, listening for any word on our canyon. I came out here to skydive and the Santa Anas are so bad even here it has been a wall of dust, it looks like a warzone. No one is going anywhere out here either, a huge tree blew over about 5 houses down yesterday evening.
Tumescent Liposuction or Finesse Liposuction?
You might be wondering what the difference between Traditional Liposuction and Finesse Liposuction is. Is it just a gimmicky name to sell the same procedure? Is it something else entirely? What exactly is it? I suppose it depends upon whom you ask.
