QUESTION: What are the differences between CoolSculpting & Laser Assisted Liposuction ?

Laser Assisted Liposuction ♦ Invasive— A laser and cannula are inserted through small incisions to aspirate the fat cells. ♦ The physician can suction as much fat as necessary and has a broader area to work with. ♦ Local anesthesia is infiltrated into the entire treatment area with the cannula. ♦ A compression garment is required to be worn for up to 6 weeks to help with post-op swelling and to ensure skin retraction ♦ Resume most activities after 2-3 days. All activities by 1-2 weeks. ♦ The procedure could take anywhere from 3-4 hours. ♦ Results can be seen almost right away and you could see skin retraction for up to 4 months. ♦ Liposuction financially could be a better option if multiple CooSculpting® treatments are needed. It is an in-office procedure eliminating the additional hospital and anesthesia costs. ♦ Overweight patients can have liposuction if they have areas that are way out of proportion with the rest of their body. CoolSculpting® ♦ Non-Invasive—Fat cells are killed by a vacuum type applicator with cooling panels. ♦ The freezing (Cryolipolysis) kills 20% of the fat cells in the area tre ted and your body metabolizes these dead cells naturally. ♦ No needles or anesthesia is required. ♦ No compression garment required. ♦ No down-time. Patients can resume their normal activities right after they are treated. ♦ Treat ents could take as little as 35 minutes. ♦ Results can be seen as soon as 3 weeks but may take up to 3 months. ♦ CoolSculpting® can be very affordable but could get pricey if multiple areas need to be treated or if areas need to be re-treated down the line. ♦ Good candidates are those that are within 10-30 pounds from their ideal weight with noticeable lumps and bumps that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Secrets to Using Highlighter By Gabriella Mancuso

Over the last couple of years makeup has made a huge come- back! Everyone wants it, everyone wears it and everyone flaunts it. From eyeshadow to lipstick it has become a huge phenomenon in this day and age. One product that has really made its way to the top is highlighter. Makeup looks just wouldn’t be complete without the glow and shimmer. That is, if you apply it right. If you want that perfect, shimmering finish to your up do we have the perfect tips for you. If you are applying highlighter to your skin you first need to know which kind of “glow” you are going for. If you have fair skin use a highlighter that gives a pinkish glow. If you have medium or dark skin use a highlighter that gives a goldish glow. Next, you need to be sure of where to apply the highlighter. Most people just apply it to their cheekbones. Although, this is correct it is not the only place you should apply it to. Along with the cheekbone you must also apply it to under the brow bone, inner corner of the eye and the cupids bow of your lip to brighten your look. You must apply it to the high points of the face. This will help give you a natural glow but help complete all the missing parts of your look. Everyone loves highlighter, and knowing exactly how to apply it makes it all the better. Whether it is a little or a lot no make- up look is complete without it. Highlighter gives you a natural but outstanding glow, and it makes your pictures POP! Hopefully your highlighter never stops shinning!
