Less Invasive Procedures Can Help This Year
February 8th, 2009Houston Chronicle (2009-01-26) ; Morgan, Kim
A number of less invasive plastic surgery procedures allow patients to treat themselves to the benefits of cosmetic surgery without significantly denting their budgets. The Zoom! whitening procedure costs $400 and takes less than under two hours, while injectables such as Restylane and Juvaderm last for months at a price tag of $500. Other dermal fillers such as Botox are useful for minimizing lines and softening features, while Perlane, Juvaderm Ultra, and Juvaderm Ultra Plus (Radiesse) are popular heavier fillers. After receiving a skin consultation, a patient can schedule a micro-dermabrasian or chemical peel facial for about $200. For body contouring, patients can receive the Italian-engineered Electrical Body Stimulation at $125 per treatment. In this painless treatment, a micro-current stimulates muscles to tighten them, resulting in a better toned physique.

New Eyelash-lengthening Drug Approved
February 5th, 2009Scientific American (2008-12-31) ; Lite, Jordan
Latisse, a drug used for eyelash lengthening, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Bimatoprost is the main compound in the product that enables lashes to grow longer and darker. Other eyelash lengthening products have been unsuccessful, such as Jan Marini Skin Research’s Age Intervention Eyelash. The FDA claimed the product’s containment of bimatoprost caused patients to have swollen eyes; Latisse contains a much smaller amount of bimatoprost. Latisse is manufactured by Allergan and costs $120, available with a physician’s prescription. The eyelash lengthening drug, which lasts two to four months, has been deemed a solution to hypotrichosis or lack of hair growth. While physicians say that Latisse could be useful for promoting hair growth in both eyebrows and the scalp, Allergan notes that the company has not explored other uses for the drug. Side effects of using Latisse include darkened eyelid skin, itching, and redness.
