nose and want to go under the knife?

Dysport: The new Botox?
Make Me Heal Share
Dysport is often called the "New Botox." However, Dypsort has actually been available in Europe for therapeutic indications since 1991 and for cosmetic applications since 2001. In April 2009, Dysport (officially known as BoNT-A/D) was approved in the United States for the "temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines." These are the lines between your eyebrows. However, just like Botox Cosmetic, Dysport can be used "off-lable" for
treatment of crow’s feet (squinting lines around your eyes), forehead wrinkles, chemical brow lifts, platysmal bands (neck bands) and sweaty palms and armpits.

How to reduce scarring from
cosmetic surgery
The Cosmetic Surgery Bible Share
One of the biggest downsides to having cosmetic surgery is the
problem of scarring. Although some scars will disappear over a period of a year to 18 months, around a third of scars tend to be permanent and this can mean being left with unsightly marks or a hard raised ridge of tissue as a reminder of your plastic surgery.
The impact of scars can be very distressing, particularly if they are on visible parts of the body such as the face, neck, legs or arms. Recent surveys have shown that many people who have had surgery—both cosmetic and routine—were
unhappy with the scarring left behind.
However prominent scars could soon be a thing of the past with the advent of several new approaches to minimizing scarring.

Pellevé is the newest innovation in skin tightening, recently FDA-cleared to treat facial wrinkles without surgery. Using radiowaves, the Pellevé system heats the deep layers of the skin,
causing collagen to contract and tighten. After treatment, the skin begins to produce new collagen, improving skin firmness and resulting in a naturally refreshed appearance.
