5 MYTHS ABOUT SKIN CARE — TRUE OR FALSE?

MYTH:  There is a true anti-aging cream that will keep you looking younger for years. 
TRUE.  Retin A is this product.  How does it accomplish this ”miracle?”  By forcing skin cells to turn over faster.  Like when you were younger!  You know, by now, you also have to use a good sunscreen.

MYTH:  There are over a dozen FDA approved fillers on the market.  You should be able to choose which one you want.  They’re all government approved. And, it’s your skin.
FALSE:  Sorry.  Just because it’s new or relatively inexpensive or a friend loves it does not make a particular filler the best choice for you.  You have to trust the doctor.  (Hopefully it’s a doctor, and one with lots of experience.)  These days, best practice is often to combine  and even layer fillers to get the best results at the best price.  You don’t have that kind of knowledge.  Some are thicker and stay put, some are more liquid and are better for larger areas, and some cost more because they last longer.

MYTH:  There is a proven way to permanently reduce cellulite.
FALSE:  I wish.  All methods are, at best, temporary.  Cellulite is a byproduct of hormones which govern the distribution of fat storage.  Most women have some cellulite, no matter how thin they may be.

MYTH:  Botox and Fillers equal a surgical face lift.
TRUE and FALSE.  Botox smoothes the forehead and lifts and shapes the brows when performed by a skilled physician.  Fillers plump the lips and cheeks and soften nasolabial folds.  I’m still hanging in there at 63 and I think it’s a really natural look.  But beyond a certain age, only surgery will really get you results.  I love the non-surgical approach because a)  There is no down-time and b) I hate even the thought of surgery.

MYTH:  Botox is Botox.  You can get it for $100 at a hair salon or at a home “Botox Party.”
FALSE:  Reality:  You get what you pay for.  You should ask yourself, “Why is it so inexpensive?” 
           It may be diluted.   
           It may not even be real Botox.
           The practioner is not properly trained and experienced
           The “practitioner” is just practicing.  OMG.  We actually had an esthetician come to us after just such a disaster.  She should have known better.

You’re welcome.

More than a million people underwent
laser hair removal last year.

According to Healthifle.net, people are spending the money now
to save money on disposable razors and waxing services in the future.

For men and women of all ages, laser hair removal is where it’s at.

Men who want a hairless back, women who do not want hair on their upper lip,
arms or bikini line and even teenagers who don’t want to deal with a razor
are turning to laser hair removal to remove hair permanently.

Think of the razors, shaving cream and waxing costs- 
It’ss no surprise that hundreds of men and women and even teenagers
are getting the treatment done to be rid of body hair forever.

Now, at my advanced age, I WISH laser hair removal had been around when i was young.
In my humble opinion, it’s THE perfect gift.
Unconventional, maybe, but perfect!
