The cosmetic surgery industry is often one viewed as something for women, but the reality is that thousands of men go under the knife to improve their appearance every single year in the United States.

Read MoreSculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen, an underlying cause of facial aging, for results that can last more than two years.
Not all treatments or injectables are created the same. Some target different areas of the face, and, more importantly, produce different effects.

Read MoreSunscreen is a non-negotiable if you’re spending time outdoors. But even the most responsible sun-averse people are guilty of failing to reapply protection as time passes.
Luckily, there’s a relatively new high-tech spray solution. Sunscreen booths mist a layer of SPF all over the body, and all you have to do is stand there. You don’t even have to get your hands goopy.

Homer once described olive oil as ‘liquid gold,’ a term that still resonates with many. Fortunately, we do not have to fight wars over olive oil anymore as it is abundantly produced in many parts of the world and readily available. We all know that olive oil is one of the healthiest vegetable oils, along with coconut oil. Not only can you consume this nutritious food and receive numerous benefits, you can also use it to boost the nutrient value of your beauty products.
Adding olive oil to your beauty routine may provide immense benefits to your skin, hair, and nails. Here are some of the olive oil skin benefits you may find surprising.
Olive oil contains three major antioxidants: vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols. Antioxidants, when topically applied, may help protect the skin from premature skin aging. Vitamin E partly accounts for the anti-aging benefits of olive oil because it helps restore skin smoothness and protects against ultraviolet light. [1]Hydroxytyrosol, a rather rare compound found in olive oil, also prevents free radical damage to the skin. [2]
Unlike commercial moisturizers that can clog pores and exacerbate current skin conditions, olive oil penetrates deeply into the skin while providing a cleansing effect. Try using organic olive oil at night as a substitute for your regular moisturizer. Apply a teaspoon of the oil to the face and neck. Gently pat the skin with a paper towel to wipe away any excess oil.
Another one of olive oil’s benefits for skin is its usefulness in exfoliating applications. A common exfoliating method using olive oil is to mix 1 tablespoon of the oil with natural sea salt, rubbing this mixture over the skin. The mild abrasive qualities of the sea salt, combined with the deep, penetrating action of the oil, will remove dead skin cells and leave the epidermis looking renewed and glowing.
Olive oil is also used for nail and cuticle care, and many women use it as an eye makeup remover. Further applications include using it as an ingredient in homemade facial masks. One other interesting application for both men and women is the substitution of olive oil for shaving cream. Many men have abandoned shaving cream once they discovered how close a shave they can get with olive oil. Men and women alike have also found its refreshing qualities make it an excellent aftershave.

Read MoreMost of us are familiar with the use of Botox, Dysport and Xeomin to erase facial wrinkles, but Botox can also help those who suffer from excessive sweating, which is known as hyperhidrosis.
In order to put a halt to sweating, it’s become increasingly more common to receive injections in the armpits – but now people are getting injections in a less common place: their groin.
Read MoreHey, guys!
I wanted to talk a little bit about lips.
Quite frequently new clients like to ask questions about how big are they going to be, and "is one syringe going to be too much for me today," and I like to use this Galderma brochure from Restylane.
It goes over three different lip before and afters.
As you can see, the top one they use about two and a half syringes, the second one is right at two syringes or two CC's, and then the third one is almost three CC's.
You can tell none of these look like they been overdone. They all look very tasteful. They all look very natural. I like to usually only do one syringe in the beginning, and then bring someone back in two weeks, and then usually add more. But one syringe is just going to get you some structure, some of the general anatomy, kind of back and also going to give you some better line control around the lips, as well as smoother lips.
When you get into two or three syringes, then you really get into some volume, which is not a bad thing!
So I just wanted everybody to see this brochure. It's a really great example, if you're nervous about volume, to kind of let you know that volume is okay. And it doesn't get that overdone look overnight.
All right, cheers!

Cool.
We got some new Radiesse boxes. It looks like they have gone green and combined the old single packaging into a two-pack.
Very, very cool.
So the old one was just a 1.5cc syringe in a single pack, and then the new one is a box that is double.
Ooh, - it's actually blue.
So we get the needles on one side and then the single-pack syringes on the other. It's super cool, and pretty, and, I guess, better for the environment too.
Awesome.

Read MoreWe recently had some visitors at SkinSpaMED discussing an interesting topic: laser vaginal tightening.
It sounds crazy, but vaginal lasering, known in the medical community as laser vaginal tightening, is a thing. In fact, there are several FDA-approved treatments marketed under names like FemiLift and IntimaLase, which are designed to tighten up the vaginal area using lasers.
Read MoreSkinfinity uses patented in-motion technology for treatments of the face and body. The in-motion roller tip is applied to the treatment area, delivering focused radiofrequency through rows of pyramid-shaped electrodes. When the roller tip glides over your skin, each electrode delivers precise energy to the area to achieve the ideal thermal effect. This creates controlled injuries to the tissue called Micro-ablative Treatment Zones (MTZs). The MTZs stimulate an enhanced healing response, encouraging your skin to rejuvenate and improving your results. Both components of the treatment can be adjusted and customized to meet each client’s individual skin care needs.

So many teenagers are seeking cosmetic surgery to trim or shape the external genitalia that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued guidance from its Committee on Adolescent Health Care to doctors last week, urging them to teach and to reassure patients, suggest alternatives to surgery that may alleviate discomfort, and screen them for a psychiatric disorder that causes obsession about perceived physical defects.
