      Botox is in for another treat. After making headlines for doing wonders on Bell’s palsy and on easing out scars, Botox is again on the spotlight but this time, it falls on the not-so-encouraging category especially on the part of non-users.

      Dr. Carter Singh, a psychologist at Britain’s Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, and Martin Kelly, a plastic surgeon of London Plastic Surgery Associates, conducted a study that suggests that Botox can be addictive.

    • BOTOX and Bell’s Palsy Thursday July 27, 2006 in: Facial Cosmetic Surgery Tag(s):

      Technorati Tags: , ,  

      BOTOX has been around for over 20 years now, and its usage has been popular in the area of eliminating facial wrinkles.

      Another interesting application of BOTOX in the medical field has something to do with a serious neurological problem that threatens the eyes. The problem we are talking about is Bell’s Palsy.

      Bell’s Palsy, according to WebMD, is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of the face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of the face to droop. The nerve damage may also affect the sense of taste and how the body makes tears and saliva. This condition comes on suddenly, often overnight, and usually gets better on its own within a few weeks.

      Now, where does BOTOX fit into the picture? WebMd Blog has the answer. This is where BOTOX comes in.

    • Injectable fillers Tuesday July 25, 2006 in: Facial Cosmetic Surgery Tag(s):

      Technorati Tags: , , , ,

      There will always be folks who want a non-invasive way to get the results that they want. Cosmetic surgery is not a weird thing anymore and is getting a lot safer and effective through the years, but some people just don’t find incisions and scars less of a threat. And though the results of surgery can last longer than any other alternatives, this isn’t enough to get people to go under the knife. Well for some people, that is.

      A major part of the excellent breakthroughs of cosmetic surgery is the emergence of injectable fillers. Their non-invasive nature and their effectiveness have brought them a lot of patronage from individuals who are aching to get rid of facial lines and creases and get that seemingly elusive youthful and healthy look.

      Injectable fillers or soft-tissue fillers, most commonly injectable collagen or fat, can help fill in facial lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

      It’s not only the body that needs some sculpting. The face also does. But sculpting is normally done by removing fat. But what if the face doesn’t need a liposuction? What if the face needs to “go fat” instead of slimming down? Curious? Then, read on.

      There is a certain medical condition, which is usually found in HIV patients. This condition is called facial wasting or lipoatrophy. Facial lipoatrophy, according to this website, is the loss of fat beneath the skin, which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. This picture shows how a person with lipoatrophy looks like.

      It is needless to say that the condition makes the person look hideous.
