Jersey S’More

Roasted on an open fire? (Image source: WCBS-TV)

Damage from UV rays is not ‘new news’…Yet, we’re starting to get the impression that someone forgot to tell this to New Jersey. Okay, we’re reasonably sure that most people in New Jersey are nothing like the ones that inhabit Reality-TV-Land, or the recent news…but, they sure are making a perfectly good state look like it didn’t receive the memo. Move over Snooki – there’s a new ditzy Oompa Loompa in town – a ‘tanning-obsessed mom’ who has been charged with encouraging her 5-year-old daughter to use a tanning booth. Mom was arrested for child endangerment after the little (red-haired!…what was she thinking?) girl received a burn and rash from the alleged exposure. Read more about this and laser skin resurfacing…for those of us who don’t go to a tanning bed 5 times a week – but would still like to remove uneven pigmentation, age spots or prior sun damage.

Eye of the Tiger

Yo Adrian...you got beautiful eyes! : )

Round 1 – Wake up, look in the mirror and wonder if you ‘Box’ in your sleep. Where do those dark circles come from and what can be done about them? Round 2 – Make certain to reduce activities that cause dark circles and hollows by: Getting enough rest; wearing sunglasses and sunscreen, reducing bad habits like smoking and drinking, keep sinuses healthy and don’t rub your eyes… Round 3 – Daily maintenance and temporary fixes: Calm puffy eyes with a cool cloth, teas bags or chilled cucumbers; elevate your head while sleeping; invest in a good concealer… Round 4: Discuss more permanent options with a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. And the winner…by decision… is You!

Defy Your Genes…and Look Better in Your Jeans

The perfect body!

Why did a 5’10″, leggy, beautiful 29-year-old woman, who attends spinning classes 7 days a week…need liposculpture? Because, even though she spent 5 years working out like a fiend – she still had blocky hips and saddlebags…because they were hereditary. We don’t always get to choose the body we inherit – but, we have a say in whether we feel we should get to see a payoff for our diet and exercise. Even tall, slender women who work out til they drop don’t always get the results they think they deserve. That’s where Laserliposculpture steps in. Read on…and consult with a plastic surgeon in your area to add some ‘positive reinforcement’ to your body image.

Lasers…the Modern Fountain of Youth

Slow or reverse signs of aging - with Lasers

As we age, the effects of gravity, the elements, hormone changes and weakening of the skin and blood vessels causes unflattering changes in our once-youthful appearance. It catches up with all of us, eventually. Even those who have fantastic genes and healthy lifestyles may have to wait a few more years – but, invariably, signs of aging WILL occur. Ponce de Leon started a trend that will forever continue – he was searching for The Fountain of Youth. Aren’t we all? Fortunately, modern technology has given us the laser – and if Senor de Leon could see the wonders it can provide; he would have stopped his wandering and scheduled a consultation with the nearest plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist.
