Botox Can Correct the Effects of Bell's Palsy
Botox injections may alleviate Bell's Palsy.
Bell's Palsy is a condition of weakening or paralysis of facial muscles. The condition is caused by trauma to the cranial nerve and sometimes is associated with pregnancy or a viral infection like Herpes simplex. The condition is usually not permanent. Although more prevalent in elderly people, it can strike anyone at any age and affects 40,000 Americans every year.

Could it be true? A facelift without surgery? Without an injection?
That’s what a new dental implant is supposed to provide.
But does it work?
It’s called the Angel Lift facelift.
It uses a dental implant to basically push out the wrinkles.
It’s not what you typically think of when you want to turn back the clock on your facial appearance, but some experts who do perform the real facelift say there is something to this.
Now, Kelly Bruce didn’t like the fact that her face was starting to show the aging process. “I’m just looking to prevent any wrinkles that I can. I’m almost 40 I just really am hoping to find the best thing that I can do that’s non-invasive, no um facial injections.”
She could have gone the botox route, or restalyne.
But instead she went to her dentist to get angel lift, a non-surgical alternative to traditional fillers.
It is billed as the first and only removable, invisible, pain free prosthetic to prevent and remove wrinkles and correct facial asymmetry.

With the waning weeks of summer, this is the time that we’re hitting the pools and beaches strong, trying to catch the last vestiges of the sun.
But men, listen up: you don’t worry enough about your skin, according to the latest research.
It’s almost like you have to whack it into the brains of men--that they are susceptible, just like everyone else, to skin cancer.
Take Todd Bernstein for example. “The first marking actually started with my regular Dr. he saw a mark and said this should be removed, of course I didn’t do anything about it until two years later,” says Todd.
Todd’s back at the doctor’s office today, to get his stitches removed following the excision of five highly suspicious--in fact, near borderline-- malignant moles.
And he still hasn’t learned! “I do put on the sunscreen, my skin, my body, but I’m always in a rush uh especially when I’m outdoors playing golf so I do the basics, but you know it is nice to be in the sun; it feels good,” states Todd, an avid golfer.
Rates of melanomas have increased almost 15-fold over the last 50 years. And that increase has been observed disproportionally in men over 50.
The problem: men don’t get screened.

Health Wrap: Studies on Botox, Migraines and Drinking
Researchers have discovered a novel way to increase the potency of Botox, which would translate into less frequent injections and perhaps even enhancing its cosmetic benefits, and it might mean lower prices for the popular wrinkle-remover.
In a medical setting, small doses of the Botox toxin causes localized, temporary paralysis that erases wrinkles and unwanted muscle spasms.
The researchers developed a synthetic molecule that can ‘super-activate’ the neurotoxin, thereby increasing the toxin’s paralyzing effect by as much as 14 times that of the untreated toxin.

57 year old Fran Ciulla decided to fight Father Time and gravity without getting plastic surgery. “The lines were really deep, my lips were shrinking,” says Fran.
Looking for a quick rejuvenating fix, while staying far away from the operating room, Fran chose a Radiesse treatment.
“Radiesse is a product, injectable product and its composition… very small microspheres of calcium hydroxide that are put into a water gel suspension,” explains facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Thomas Romo of Lenox Hill Hospital.

Your backyard pool may be your slice of summer heaven, and long hours at the beach may be your favorite way to spend your summer days. But everyone must take summer safety seriously. It could be the difference between life and death.
"Long exposure to sun can increase the rate of skin cancer about fourfold," says Dr. Marc Siegel, NYU Medical Center. More than one million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you should apply sunscreen every day if you plan on being in the sun more than 20 minutes. Sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher is recommended.

The Titan skin tightening procedure is giving thousands of people the world over the chance to non-surgically improve the way they look.
As a former model, Erin Yates used to have a wash board stomach. But she says giving birth to four children changed all that. “I have gained a good 50 or 60 pounds with each of my children. I could never get my lower stomach area to really tighten up. There was no fat there, but the skin would just be saggy,” says Erin.
