Collagen Injections for Lips presents the following advice on the potential of stimulating collagen production via diet and topical applications.

I do believe that much of what we take into our body has a direct reflection on our skin.  A health diet can produce healthy skin, and Dr. Perricone has developed a diet and skin care system around the fundamental thought that what we take into our body in our diet impacts how our skin and body ages.    I can tell you anecdotally that my skin always looks its best when I am avoiding junk food, sweets, overly processed food, etc.  I can even see a difference if I do not consume enough water over a period of time. 

In terms of topical creams, moisturizers, gels, etc., there is a great deal of scientific proof that those products simply do not absorb to the dermus and hypodermus where collagen is produced.  However, I am a firm believer (forgive the pun!) that a fanstastic skin care line, used religiously, can impact the epidermus (which is the outer layer of skin) and make dramatic changes to that layer. 

A high quality skin care regime can exfoliate, hydrate and improve the texture of the epidermus.  You will see fine lines minimized, and a healthy glow in your skin when you use great products in the right formulation for your skin type and skin needs.  But remember, these products are impacting the epidermus and most likely are not being absorbed to also impact the collagen production in the deeper skin layers.  That is where the realm of injectable fillers comes into play, as injecting fillers into those layers can impact the collagen and elastin structues and potentially their production.  Read on for more info!

If you’re wondering how to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the body, I have some advice for you. It starts with your diet and ends with the use of nourishing creams specific to your skin’s make-up.

Collagen Injections presents the following information on cheek implant and augmentation surgery.  Are you looking into cheek augmentation surgery?

You may want to also discuss injectable options with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon.  Injectable fillers can be one way to augment your cheeks, without invasive surgery.   A filler such as Dermadeep can provide great results to augment your cheeks without an implant and with a natural appearance.

Furthermore, you may be a good candidate for Microlipoinjection, which is commonly known as a "Fat Transfer".  In this case, your own fat is used to augment your targeted facial areas.  This is incredibly safe as you are using your own fat, and no other injectable fillers or implants are used.  It can also provide a very nice, natural augmentation. 

What is a cheek implant? Cheek implants happen to be a top-notch method of improving and augmenting the contours of the face.

I recently read this interesting article that I wanted to share, as I can certainly relate to the findings.  Most of my girlfriends who have already been under the knife are maintaining their work with injectable fillers and botox.  Those that had plans for surgery in the next year or two are simply postponing those plans until the economy improves.  I certanly have my appointment this week for injectable procedures, so for me, these procedures ARE recession-proof!

Cutting back on cutting deep

Written by Sarah Treleaven, posted on the Financial Post.

For some, hunkering down for economic uncertainty involves cancelling that Mediterranean cruise and stocking up on discount socks. For others, it means looking for more cost-effective cosmetic surgery options.

According to recent surveys by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), more patients are opting for non-surgical procedures instead of expensive surgery due to costs and the risks of taking time off work or away from a job hunt to recover.

There has been steady growth in the use of less expensive options, such as fillers and injectable treatments like Botox and Juvéderm. Of the doctors surveyed by the ASPS, 73% reported increased or stable demand for procedures like Botox, chemical peels and hyaluronic fillers. Fifty-nine per cent of patients surveyed reported that concerns about the economy have forced them to rethink plans for cosmetic surgery, with 27% looking into less expensive, non-surgical options.

If not exactly booming, many cosmetic practitioners are finding their services resilient to downward consumer trends. "I’m surprised I’m doing as well as I am," says Dr. William Middleton, a Toronto-based cosmetic surgeon and expert on the W Network’s Style by Jury. "A lot of people would rather spend money making themselves look better than on vacations, clothing and meals, because it’s longer lasting. Once you get your eyes done, they’re good for 10 years."

Dr. Arthur Swift, a cosmetic surgeon in Montreal, says that economic chaos has not resulted in a decline, but rather a shift in client demands. Looking for less expensive ways to tighten their faces in a snug economy, cost-savvy professionals are asking about injectable treatments and their comparative longevity. "People are asking how they can do more for less," he says.

The price difference between surgical and non-surgical options can be considerable. Prices vary depending on who you see and which city you’re in, but ballpark figures for a facelift and eye adjustment are $12,000 to $18,000 with two to three weeks of downtime when patients generally prefer not to leave the house, even with makeup on. Injectables like Botox and Juvéderm, on the other hand, generally cost between $500 and $3,000, and can be done over a lunch break.

Of those surveyed by the ASPS, 73% believe, particularly in these challenging economic times, appearance and youthful looks play a part in getting hired, being promoted or winning new clients. Some patients are making direct connections between cosmetic procedures and professional success and, though the bulk of their clientele continues to be female, some doctors also report seeing more professional male patients in the last several months. Dr. Swift’s male clientele now account for 12% of his business, up from 8% before the downturn. "They want to look youthful in the boardroom," he says. "They realize that it’s a very competitive market and that if you look tired it appears that you’re offering tired opinions or tired ideas."

Some link recent market jitters to a decline in older patients who tend to have the more expensive procedures. "Older patients are naturally more cautious," says Dr. Frank Lista of the Plastic Surgery Clinic in Mississauga, who has witnessed a decline in requests for facelifts, but steady interest in both Botox and breast enhancements. "They’re closer to retirement and they see their RSPs significantly affected, so they’re more careful. Younger patients have jobs and money."

Injectables appear to have become a more affordable luxury for those who can’t afford to let the fatigue and uncertainty of the last few months show. "Botox is to today’s recession what lipstick was to the depression," says Dr. Swift.

Collagen Injections for Lips presents the following article about elastin collagen creams.  For the most part, collagen that is in facial creams and moisturizers is not going to be absorbed to the point to which it can actually begin to impact and repair the existing collagen.

However, there are many reasons to use high qualiity facial moisturizers and creams that can positvely impact the surface of your skin, helping to keep your skin moisturized, hydrated and appearing healthy and supple.   Many such creams can help to minimize fine lines and impart a healthy glow. 

Do elastin collagen creams actually work, or are they just a marketing gimmick? It depends on the ingredients contained in the product. This article will help educate the consumer on how to choose an effective skin care product.

I recently ran across the following article, and wanted to share this information.  Famed Lloys’s of London will now offer insurance for customers who are having a variety of costmetic procedures, from injectable fillers to going under the knife.  Without getting catty (I know, but I have long stayed away from the "Are you kidding?" type pictures and dialogue surrounding celebs and wanna be celebs who are not just using injectable fillers but ABUSING them!) I think I can name a person or two who might want to invest in this insurance before their next procedure!

Lloyd’s will now cover your face job

Afraid your collagen injection will go wrong? World’s most famous underwriters are behind new scheme

By Jonathan Owen, Published on www.Independent.co.uk.

It might well be described as vanity insurance. Britons prepared to go under the knife in their quest for youth and beauty will now be able to buy cover against the chance of a botched operation with the world’s first cosmetic surgery protection policy.

Beautysure insurance, which costs £199 and pays out up to £4,000 if something goes wrong, such as bleeding, scarring and infection, is being launched tomorrow. Underwritten by Lloyd’s of London, it will be available through the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps).

With more operations throwing up complications as record numbers of people place their trust, and bodies, in the hands of cosmetic surgeons, experts believe there will be no shortage of interest. In breast operations alone, Baaps estimates there have been more than 1,400 "problem" cases in Britain over the past five years.

For some, the results can be catastrophic. The singer Pete Burns, whose implants left his lips so deformed that some doctors were said to have recommended amputation, is seeking £1m in damages from the surgeon Dr Maurizio Viel. The High Court in London will consider the matter next month.

"Cosmetic surgery is a minefield and the insurance could give patients a bit more security that if there’s a problem they know it can be put right," said consultant plastic surgeon and Baaps president Nigel Mercer. "The public must beware of sales incentives that may pressurise them to make important, potentially life-changing decisions without fully considering all the risks. We recommend people check out any surgeon and hospital carefully," he said.

The risks of something going wrong can range from 1 to 20 per cent, according to which doctor you choose, says Juliet Bentley, a 42-year-old from Northampton who first came up with the idea for the scheme when she was unable to get insurance before her breast augmentation nine years ago.
