Your summer body - and how to get it

Image
Having worked hard throughout 2020, we are all looking forward to a beach holiday this summer. In spite of the excitement of being able to go out and be social, many of us are all too familiar with the weight that has been added to our bodies during quarantine, and we are having a hard time losing it. It is important for us to promote body positivity, and we do not believe that any one type of body is better than another, but Body Sculpting treatments, such as Brazilian butt lifts are becoming more popular. What is it about these treatments that appeals to you? CoolSculpting costs how much, and what other body sculpting treatments are out there?  The following is an expert opinion gathered from Dr. Schwarzburg, medical director at Skinly Aesthetics . Since breast implants and liposuction were introduced, body sculpting treatments have been around for a long time. The trend of getting butt implants and injectable fillers didn't start until a few years later. Although implants and fi

What are neurotoxins and how do they work?

The only neurotoxin is Botox Even though Botox is the most common neurotoxin, there are actually several different types, including Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. Each essentially does the same thing, but differs in its chemical composition; for example, 20 units of Botox are the same as 60 units of Dysport. It is true that some people respond better to one or the other, and some people respond to all of them. Wrinkle prevention Injections of Botox have the obvious benefit of preventing and reducing wrinkles caused by photodamage and collagen loss. Injections of neurotoxins have been used for decades, and the market for them has grown accordingly. Neurotoxins aren't just for celebrities and movie stars anymore. It seems like everyone is getting them! There are several bloggers and writers who write about the botox craze. In fact, neurotoxins can actually prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place, which can help to prevent fine lines and wrinkles from appearing. Because they t

  For more information, click here. Gluteal augmentation has been around for a very long time, since the 1960s. In the 60s, surgeons began exploring different ways to enhance their patients' backsides. The first method was to implant a gluteal implant. Unfortunately, because it was new, a mammary prosthesis was used as an implant, which made it look odd. It was later discovered that implants that could create a more butt-like shape could be made either of semisolid elastomer or cohesive gel. This method was effective, but it also came with a large amount of discomfort and downtime after surgery due to incisions and general healing. The 1980s saw the introduction of another treatment method for increasing the volume of a patient's backsides, fat grafting. In fat grafting, fat is removed from one part of the body, typically the abdomen, arms, and thighs, and then injected into another part of the body, here the buttock. This procedure has been dubbed Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and

Dermal fillers and what they’re used for

  I am sure most of you have realized that facial fillers are more popular than ever, particularly lip fillers, especially on social media. Over the past two decades, the demand for cosmetic enhancements has grown. More specifically, the number of non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures has increased substantially, particularly dermal fillers, thanks to Kylie Jenner's lip filler injections as well as social media trends that promote thick and luscious lips. The number of soft tissue fillers in the United States has increased from 2676,970 in 2018 to 3410,730 in 2020 from a comparison of statistics from 2018 to 2020.  Plastic surgery clinics have long been around, but medical spas, like MiracleFace MedSpa in New York, that specialize specifically in minimally invasive medical aesthetics and injectable surgery, are becoming increasingly popular. Whether it is because social media is constantly changing beauty standards or because people have always had work done but are more

Body Odor - what to do about it?

  It's incredibly difficult to find effective natural deodorants. It is also important to understand the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant. The deodorants mask or minimize the smell, and the antiperspirants prevent or reduce sweating. So wouldn't it be better if you used antiperspirant to prevent sweating in the first place? Not necessarily. The reason why so many people opt for natural deodorants over antiperspirants is because antiperspirants often contain aluminum, which blocks sweat from exiting the body. The problem? According to some studies, aluminum in antiperspirants may cause breast cancer and other harmful side effects, so a natural deodorant would be better. Now let's talk about the elephant in the room: What is BO and where does it come from? Combined with sweat, bacteria on the skin causes body odor. When your body temperature rises, eccrine and apocrine glands (sweat glands) excrete fluids to cool you down and regulate your body temperature
