The Good News on Sculptra
Posted March 20, 2010 5:58 AM
Since it was approved by theFDA in July of last year, SCULPTRA has been gaining popularity to become one of my most frequent treatments. In the right hands, Sculptra a truly breakthrough product. It allows me to truly "sculpt" the face and add volume to the chin, cheeks and temples. This achieves facial balance restoring a youthful look in a way that is much more subtle and longer lasting than what has been possible with other traditional fillers.
Sculptra stimulates your natural collagen to grow and build slowly over time, and it lasts for up to 2 years and more. Because results develop slowly others don't notice a sudden change in your appearance. Patient's have reported receiving complements such as "your skin looks great...what have you been doing?" In addition to added volume, the texture of the skin is improved due to increase collagen production in the dermis, or deep skin layer. Solar elastosis, or sun creases, are also dramatically improved with this product.

Divorce, Antidepressants, or Weight Gain/Loss Can Add Years to Your Face
Posted March 15, 2010 10:18 AM
Your mother's wrinkles - or lack there of, may not be the best predictor of how you'll age. In fact, a new study claims just the opposite. The study, involving identical twins, suggests that despite genetic make-up, certain environmental factors can add years to a person's perceived age. Results just published inthe Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), reveal that factors like divorce or the use of antidepressants are the real culprits that can wreak havoc on one's face.
"A person's heritage may initially dictate how they age - but if you introduce certain factors into your life, you will certainly age faster. Likewise, if you avoid those factors you can slow down the hands of time. In this study, we looked at identical twins because they are genetically programmed to age exactly the same, and in doing so we essentially discovered that, when it comes to your face, it is possible to cheat your biological clock."
