In Times of Recession, Botox Beats Out Facelifts

Cosmetic surgeons are saying that surgeries such as facelifts and breast augmentations are down, while procedures that don't entail going under the knife - and which are less expensive - are up.

This is according to a recent study by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. "What they found is that 53 percent of the plastic surgeons were actually seeing a 30 to 40 percent decrease in the business," said Dr. Constantino Mendieta, a cosmetic surgeon in Miami. The worsening economy, he said, has caused Americans to turn away from expensive procedures, and to rush instead to get cheaper cosmetic work done on themselves, such as botox treatments, wrinkle injections, liposuction or mini-facelifts.

A Beauty Spa in Your Refrigerator

You just might discover the best cosmetic medicine not at your local plastic surgeon or spa but at your local grocery store.

Experts have identified an increasing number of "beauty foods" that act to add youthful qualities to skin, hair and teeth. For example, salmon and other omega-3-fatty-acid-rich foods help smooth wrinkles. Cranberries help whiten teeth. And spinach, broccoli and Swiss chard help produce glossy, well-conditioned hair.

Injectable Fillers Produce Youthful Appearance

The latest strategy to overcome wrinkles, sagging facial flesh, bony hands and flappy earlobes is under-the-skin injections of cosmetic fillers with exotic names like Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, ArteFill, Juvéderm, Ultra Plus and Perlane.

The idea behind all of these fillers is to inject an organic chemical, such as poly-L-lactic acid (in the case of Sculptra) or hyaluronic acid (in the case of Restylane) - which have been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration - to plump up the skin. This erases wrinkles, lines, jowls, creases and the like - for a period of time. (Read more about Injectable Fillers Produce Youthful Appearance)

Cosmetic Laser Surgery: The Cutting Edge

Laser surgery has become the cutting edge in cosmetic medicine. Why? Because it's able to accomplish just as much as invasive surgical techniques in less time and with faster recovery rates.

Using laser surgical techniques is also more precise, and produces less bleeding, bruising and scarring. A patient will typically get an injection of anesthetic, making the procedure painless, and be done in 30-40 minutes. (Read more about Cosmetic Laser Surgery: The Cutting Edge)

How Stress Causes Weight Gain

The mounting stress in today's society leads to a vicious descending spiral of ever-increasing weight gain. But the good news is that the spiral is not inevitable and can be reversed and transcended.

"In times of economic hardship and stress, people gain weight," said Dr. Sasson Moulavi, a bariatric physician in Port St. Lucie, Fla. This is because:

-- When the economy deteriorates and the gremlin of stress seizes people, they tend to buy less expensive, lower-quality food, which is calorically rich and nutritionally poor. (Read more about How Stress Causes Weight Gain)

Skin Cancer May Lead to Other Cancers

A new study suggests that people who have had non-melanoma skin cancer may be at increased risk of developing other cancers, including those that affect other parts of the body. Previous research has already found a link between skin cancer and an increased risk of developing melanoma, a rarer but more malignant form of skin cancer. The study is the work of Dr. Jiping Chen of the National Cancer Institute and is published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. (Read more about Skin Cancer May Lead to Other Cancers)

Adult Acne

Something as simple as looking at her reflection in the mirror was enough to cause Rachel Boland significant emotional pain.

“It’s brought me to tears when I’m sitting in front of my mirror,” says Rachel Boland. 32 year old Rachel has been battling adult acne since she graduated high school.

“It really makes you feel like a teenager and very self-conscious and I’m saying I’m supposed to be a woman in business and now I have a family and I’m going to business appointments and I’m thinking about my face like a child.” (Read more about Adult Acne)

Cold Weather and Men's Skin Care

Most people are unaware of the dangers posed by the sun's rays during the winter, and skin care specialists claim that men especially need to take extra care of their skin. Even during shorter winter days, the sun can do serious harm to skin and it is just as vital to use UVA/UVB sun protection every day regardless of the season. UVB rays are responsible for burning, tanning, and accelerating skin aging. UVA rays can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and plays a major role in skin aging and wrinkling, and can potentially lead to cancer. (Read more about Cold Weather and Men's Skin Care)

Skins Cells May Take the Place of Embryonic Stem Cells

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have succeeded in reprogramming skin cells to behave like embryonic stem cells. This discovery may redefine the ongoing political and ethical controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research. For ordinary embryonic stem cell research, this discovery offers a means of obtaining pluripotent cell lines from a non-embryonic source. For cloning research, it offers a means to make customized, pluripotent cell lines without having to create and immediate embryo of an adult person.
