Celebrities Give Botox A Bad Name? The Truth Revealed
March 12th, 2010 | 
Author: As an owner of a medspa we get thousands of questions a month about Botox. What is it? How does it work? Will I be able to move my face? Will I look like Heidi Montag? Will I look like Joan Rivers? Is it poison? Many people are still hesitant to try Botox because of the celebrities they see on TV that tend to overdue their treatment. The general public does not want to look plastic. The desire for most is just to look rested and to smooth out a few lines. Botox is definitely a great solution. 
It is important to find a good injector for Botox. Find a professional that truly listens to you and be wary of the injector that just comes in and starts poking. Different patterns are available to achieve various results. Did you know you can have an eye brow lift? Or, if the corners of your mouth pull down they can be lifted too.
For optimum results, Botox treatments should be maintained quarterly. The goal of the injections is to weaken the strength of the wrinkle causing muscle. Over time the Botox wears off and the muscle begins to strengthen again. That is when you need to call for your next appointment. You do not want the muscle to regain full movement. Over time, less Botox is needed to achieve the same results because the muscle remains in a more weakened state. With a little bit of budgeting anyone can plan for Botox treatments and the results are so amazing most clients figure out a way. You don’t have to overdue your look and be careful of anyone over-promising results or offering unique, one-of-a-kind Botox at extremely high prices or extremely low prices.
Across the board averages depend on where you live. The northern part of the US is the most expensive and southern the least. Expect to pay between $10-$15 per unit or $250- $1,125 per treatment. Be weary of folks offering in-home Botox parties, especially if alcohol is served. Botox should always be performed by a doctor or licensed nurse practitioner who is familiar with the procedure and the delicate nature in which it should be performed.
Check out some before and after pics of celebrities and regular folks that have had good and not so good success!

Dallas Laser Hair Removal For Men- Back Hair – The Hairy Truth!
Aesthetically speaking , hairy backs are way down the list of desired body features in our world.
- Broad backs = good
- Strong backs = good
- Toned backs = good,
- but Hairy Backs = Not so much…
Of course you can have your partner shave you every week or so, or you can live life assuring that no one ever sees your back, or you can remove the hair and get to work on the Strong, Toned & Broad part of the equation. Laser Hair Removal for the male back is a very popular and common treatment for guys that have unwanted hair in excess.
The process is very simple; Find a reputable Laser Hair Removal Specialist, with the most effective hair removal laser. The clear choice (in my opinion) is the Candela GentleLase Mini. It is both fast and effective. Then, plan to go through a series of 6-7 treatments at 6 week intervals. The 6 week interval is critical to the success of the process. Our hair grows in cycles and the 1st cycle of growth is the best opportunity to destroy the hair follicle. During the 1st phase (Anagen) the hair has its most color or melanin. The melanin is the trait that allows the laser to deliver maximum heat to the hair bulb in order to destroy it.
The pitfalls to treating the male back are these: Fairly expensive (Very large treatment area), easy to miss some spots as the laser operator must be very meticulous on an area this large.
The biggest caution we see is that guys forget to stay true to the process. i.e. they see the hair disappear after 1 treatment and assume the hair disappearance is permanent and that they won’t need all 6-7 treatments. They then get way off schedule and are surprised when their results are not what they had hoped for.
The good news- If you do go to a reputable operator with a good laser and laser technician and are steadfast about being treated every 6 weeks, the results are incredible and permanent.
