Hope in a Jar — Cosmeceutical Science : Fact or Fiction - Part 1

Down the way from my office in Beverly Hills sits a stately Neiman Marcus store. As the double doors to the first floor open before me; I am inundated by the sights, sounds and smells of the cosmetic counter. What they offer is simple: promises of eternal youth and beauty. Each counter is manned by an army of young men and women dressed in long white lab coats. One wonders what medical training they must have to go through to don such spiffy uniforms. As a customer approaches a counter they are greeted by these so-called medical experts who are eager to explain how their concoctions and potions promise to repair your DNA, RNA, and all other portions of your body. I wonder if I could use some of these things to repair my automobile?

If Ponce De Leon knew of these miles of aisles of miracles he could have saved a lot of time by hopping a plane from Madrid to LA. If that is not enough; a lot of these potions are emblazoned by the names of Doctor’s who inhabit the pages of woman’s beauty magazines. Do these Physicians have large bubbling cauldrons where they brew their liquids with the help of their faithful assistant Igor in some distant part of Transylvania? Then late at night and on places like QVC and the Home Shopping Network we find another group: celebrities, sports heroes, physicians and an occasional unknown offer monthly supplies of the latest discovery of the fountain of youth fluid, cream, capsule or drink that you positively cannot live without…. at last we have the brew that is true!

The Nation: Feminism’s Face Lift

During the Senate’s debates over who should bear the cost of the nearly $900 billion healthcare bill, there emerged a surprising suggestion: plastic surgery patients. A proposed tax, dubbed the “Bo-Tax” after the wrinkle-reducing injections, would add a 5 percent additional charge to elective cosmetic procedures. The tax could help raise $6 billion over the next ten years to offset the cost of health reform. It was included in the original healthcare bill the Senate considered, and it is likely to make it into the modified bill, when the details of the newly brokered Senate compromise are finally announced. Apparently breast enhancements and liposuction can be channeled to benefit the public good. Read more

               

9 Top Cosmetic Treatments for Aging Skin

No one likes looking older…which is why we spend billions of dollars every year on over-the-counter products, prescription creams and fillers, and, most drastically, cosmetic surgery. Do any of these actually work to reduce the signs of aging? In many cases, yes—at least temporarily. But given the not-inconsiderable costs (and in the case of surgery and some procedures, the risks), it’s important to be smart in your choices.

How to find a doctor? Dermatologists can prescribe skin creams and perform laser skin-resurfacing and chemical peels, and they can administer injections. Surgical procedures, meantime, can be performed by cosmetic and plastic surgeons, and some ear, nose, and throat doctors (otolaryngologists). A good first step is to make sure that the doctor is board-certified by the appropriate organization (the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and American Board of Otolaryngology, for instance). Check with your state medical board to see if the doctor has complaints on file. When you pick a doctor, ask how often and how frequently he or she performs the procedure that you’re having (weekly is better than monthly). If the doc works from an outpatient surgical center, ask whether he or she has hospital privileges should any problems arise during your surgery.

Here is a quick guide to some of the most popular treatments and procedures. Read more
