In that case perhaps Macrolane VRF is the solution for you. Macrolane VRF is a new innovative and revolutionary cosmetic treatment to re-contour the uneven parts of your body. Macrolane is a non invasive cosmetic treatment which uses hylaronic acid to plump out smooth and contour your body.

The common areas which Macrolane can successfully treat are the Breast (enhancement and shaping) Post liposuction concavities, Calves, Buttocks and Male Chest Shaping (Pecs).

Unlike other cosmetic procedures to correct breast shape Macrolane is a non invasive treatment, which means no cutting and no scaring. In fact Macrolane treatments are so simple and straightforward that they can be done during a lunch break from work.

Macrolane - Before and After

Macrolane is an injectable cosmetic treatment, much like dermal lip fillers which are injected into the areas that needs re-contouring. For example, those undergoing the treatment for breast reshaping will have two areas in the crease of underneath the breast which will be injected. The same is similar for those who undergo the treatment for the buttocks. Macrolane VRF uses hylaronic acid which is a product found naturally in the body.

Macrolane treatments take approx 1hour – 1.5 hours to carry out. And the results of the treatment take effect instantly. As Macrolane is a non invasive treatment, and because of this, there is no need for an over night stay, so you can resume your daily routine as soon as the treatment is over. The results from your Macrolane treatment should last between 12-18 months. As the treatment is not permanent, to maintain optimum results a yearly to-up is advised.

Study shows that employers are becoming more concerned with looks when it comes to the workplace. I understand, if you’re in the service industry, stewardess, sales person, or real estate agents good looks is part of the sales kit. But what about those of us who sits in front of a desk and face a 17” all day? Study suggests that companies are now putting a greater emphasis on staff’s physical appearances, even for accountants. Accountancy firms have taken the plunge and encouraging employees to loosen up the tie to adopt more stylish and fashionable attires.

“It seems like looks are just as important as GCSE results when it comes to hiring staff”. Report has shown that companies are now becoming “lookists” in the workplace. But, would you blame them? Having an eye candy around surely boost work morale, right?!

With a reported salary difference up to 15% between the best and worst looking employees, I’ll think again before going to work without my makeup on!

Does this sound like you…
Searched high and low for cosmetic surgery procedures to remove those flabby underarms, but too scared to go under the cosmetic knife?

Well don’t fear as I’ve learnt of a new procedure called SmartLipo. It’s a stitch-free lipo without bruising or the need for general anaesthetics. It’s a gentle non-invasive laser procedure that only takes around 20 minutes, and the best thing is, there’s no need to be laid up in bed.

This sounds too good to be true, right…

Well, I found this piece on SmartLipo from Snowberry Lane, who were one of the first few clinics in the UK to offer SmartLipo.

How does SmartLipo procedure work? How effective is it?
SmartLipo uses a fine canula (1mm. diam.) to deliver a safe, powerful laser to heat fat cells, causing them to break down. The fat deposits are simply absorbed by the liver and disposed of naturally. At the same time, the laser seals-off minor blood vessels and stimulates collagen production to give a smooth, sculptured finish.
SmartLipo is perfect for eliminating the common ‘problem areas’… tummy, knees under-arms, buttocks, back, chin etc. The overall result depends on the severity of the area to be treated, but dramatic improvements are usually seen approximately 6 weeks after treatment - with final results in about 6-12 months.
It doesn’t have immediate results; I guess it’s the trade-off between a 3-week bed-rest & horrifying bruising vs. 3 months delay.

Would I be left with orange peel skin in the treated area?
No. The laser seals-off minor blood vessels and stimulates collagen production to give a smooth, sculptured finish.
It comes with a bonus at no extra cost!

Is there any side-effects?
Minor bruising or discomfort may occur in the short term. Antibiotics are given to prevent infection. Also, a local anaesthetic is applied to the area to be treated and the procedure is virtually painless. In normal circumstances there is no health risk associated with the SmartLipo. An initial consultation will be given by a trained specialist to assess the suitability.

How much does a SmartLipo procedure cost?
Overall cost depends on the extent of the treatment. Again, this will be discussed during initial consultation.
I’ve had a look online and depending on the amount and areas to be treated, the procedure is priced around £2000 ~ £4000. It’s not much cheaper than the traditional liposuction surgeries, but again, it’s less invasive.

Of course, it’s after all still a cosmetic procedure and I don’t think should be taken lightly.

Whether they deny it or not, there’s no hiding the truth, celebrity nose jobs are as popular as ever. The key to getting the right look which suits a face is getting the right proportions. The ‘new’ nose must compliment features of a face i.e. eyes, cheeks, chin etc. Now, picking the best celebrity noses hasn’t been an easy job by far, but we’ve managed to round up the top 10 successes:

10 – Jennifer Aniston
9 – Gwen Stefani
8 – Jennifer Lopez
7 – Gwyneth Paltrow
6 – Scarlett Johansson
5 – Cameron Diaz
4 – Ashley Simpson
3 – Halle Berry
2 – Giselle Bundchen
1 – Marilyn Monroe

So Marilyn Monroe wins the contest for best Nose. But the key to these successful nose jobs is that they all look natural. No excessive work has been done. And more importantly they don’t look like circus freaks (sadly Michael Jackson and Pete Burns we’re too late to heed this advice). A slight subtle change to your nose makes the difference between looking like a magnificent Marilyn Monroe or a loopy Latoya Jackson!!!! (EEEKKK)

Botox for smoothed out wrinkles and a dryer armpit could be the prayer for many, but keep an eye on what has been injected to your face. As Botox treatments became popular over the years, many cheaper, unbranded, unapproved and counterfeit cosmetic injectables has sneaked its way into the market. These cheaper alternatives “are no safe substitute for authentic, FDA approved injectables”, warned by doctors, it can be a threat to your looks and health. As a consumer it’s important that we’re paying our hard-worked cash for something that works, and take some precautionary investigation before they stick that needle into you. It is important to have a professional consultation before any plastic surgery, big or small, and a well-established cosmetic surgery group might be a safer choice.
