			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.painfreehairfree.com/" target="_blank">Pain-Free, Hair-Free</a> is the comfortable way to eliminate unwanted body hair.  From the bikini line to <a title="The 40 Year Old Virgin" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405422/">Steve Carell</a>&#8216;s Back &#8212; it doesn&#8217;t have to hurt.</p>
<p>Pain-Free, Hair-Free is the next-generation of laser <a class="zem_slink" title="Hair removal" rel="youtube" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDSZlAe1N8">hair removal</a>. It&#8217;s an effective and permanent hair reduction solution that is simple and easy. It uses <a href="http://www.painfreehairfree.com/how_its_different/index.html" target="_blank">cutting-edge medical laser technology</a> and combines it with the comfort and convenience.</p>
<p>Pain-Free, Hair-Free breaks the mold of previous <a class="zem_slink" title="Laser hair removal" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_hair_removal">laser hair removal</a> systems. The system&#8217;s unique IN-Motion™ technology, along with the sweeping motion of the laser, safely and gently heats the targeted area under your skin while you stay comfortable.</p>
<p>Most people find Pain-Free, Hair-Free treatments very comfortable.  While pain tolerance is subjective, many patients often describe the sensation as soothing as a &#8220;hot stone massage.&#8221;</p>
<p>The treatment works by using pulses of infrared diode laser energy to gradually heat the hair follicles in the subdermal layer of skin until they can no longer produce new hair. Using unique, IN-Motion™ technology and a patented DualChill™ treatment tip, the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable. The sweeping motion also eliminates any skipped or missed spots common to other types of laser hair removal.</p>
<p>It’s safe for all skin types, hair types and most hair colors.  It can even be used on tanned skin. The bottom line is &#8211; if you have hair where you wish you didn&#8217;t, Pain-Free, Hair-Free is for you.   The body hair removal process is permanent, predictable, and virtually pain-free.</p>
<p>The Pain-Free, Hair-Free treatment performed with the Soprano device by Alma Lasers is the next-generation of laser hair removal.  It’s effective and offers long-term hair removal with NO PAIN (the first of its kind).</p>
<p>The Pain-Free, Hair-Free is great for busy dads as it requires no down time or recovery time.  You can have a treatment and return to work immediately.</p>
<p>Compared with a lifetime of shaving, waxing or plucking, help your dad in both time and money-savings with the Pain-Free, Hair-Free treatment.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.painfreehairfree.com/apps/painfreehairfree/index.jsf" target="_blank">locate a doctor</a> near you.   To know about the after effects of hair removal, <a href="http://www.painfreehairfree.com/photo_gallery/index.html" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.rejuvawand.com/images/img_marcmaisel.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="143" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="108" />Marc Maisel, Founder, VP of Light Dimensions, maker of the <a href="http://www.rejuvawand.com" title="RejuvaWand" target="_blank">RejuvaWand</a> joins Craig to discuss how we can take charge of our skin and lessen the effects of time with advanced technology.</p>
<p><strong>What is the RejuvaWand™ Skincare System? How does it work?</strong></p>
<p>The RejuvaWand™ Skincare System is the first home-use, light-based skincare system to use both red and infrared light to reduce the signs of aging. The restorative red and infrared light that emits from the wand penetrates the skin’s surface and stimulates new cell production and blood flow. Restorative light therapy helps to reverse the signs of aging and leads to a healthy and younger looking appearance, proponents say. The RejuvaWand also went through rigorous clinical tests and is “the nexus of skincare, healthcare and technology.”</p>
<p><span id="more-56"></span>As we age, the cells that manufacture collagen and elastin &#8211; your skin’s support system &#8211; begin to slow down. Sun exposure accelerates this process and produces a damaging chemical imbalance under the surface of your skin. The RejuvaWand<sup>TM</sup> Skincare System from Light Dimensions uses a totally natural approach to reverse the damaging effects of aging and sun exposure. The system combines relaxing massage and light to help invigorate the body&#8217;s own natural restorative processes, and counteract the effects of aging.</p>
<p>Some anti-aging treatments, like chemical peels and laser resurfacing, essentially cause damage to the skin, tapping the body’s natural healing processes to produce desired results. The RejuvaWand process is healthier. It stimulates your skin’s natural healing agents and triggers revitalization through a combination of invigorating massage and unique wavelengths of light.</p>
<p>Light from the RejuvaWand permeates the top layers of the skin, telling your cells to produce more energy (scientifically referred to as Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP) thereby jumpstarting the fuel these cells need during the repair and rejuvenation process. ATP also helps your cells absorb nutrients faster and more effectively.</p>
<p>Independent laboratory studies have shown that increased ATP can help reverse the effects on aging skin. The powerful cellular energy boosts collagen levels, smoothes the skin’s appearance, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and activates key healing properties. The RejuvaWand’s addition of Rejuva<sup>TM</sup> Vibe gentle massage increases blood circulation under your skin, which ultimately increases the flow of nutrients and carries away dead and damaged cells.</p>
<p><strong>Medical Grade Light Therapy </strong></p>
<p>RejuvaWand technology is based on unique high power light emitting diodes (LEDs), which have been proven in independent research to safely deliver powerful cosmetic, hygienic and therapeutic benefits. Even the NASA space program has shown that LED light therapy promotes wound healing and human tissue growth. In addition, the RejuvaWand Skincare System is painless with absolutely no downtime due to redness or swelling of skin.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">Rejuva Vibe Restorative Massage</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold"></span>Therapeutic massage helps to relieve muscle pain, increase circulation and has been a cornerstone of physical therapy for centuries. The RejuvaWand harnesses this traditional healing process by using a type of massage called selective harmonic vibration (SHV), or Rejuva Vibe, which promotes increased blood circulation and healing, and increases the formation of new capillaries. Healthy blood vessels replace damaged ones and speed your skin’s rejuvenation process.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rejuvawand.com/pc-20-2-rejuvawand.aspx"><img src="http://www.rejuvawand.com/images/prod_rejuvawand.gif" align="right" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Does the treatment hurt? Will the LED lights burn or cut my skin?</strong></p>
<p>No. The RejuvaWand™ Skincare System is non-invasive, which means it works without cutting into the skin.The LED lights are approved for home use and will not burn or damage your skin. RejuvaWand Treatments are extremely comfortable, safe and also relaxing.</p>
<p><strong><span class="faq">What is the difference between The RejuvaWand Skincare System and a laser or Intense Pulsed Light treatment at the doctor&#8217;s office?</span> </strong></p>
<p>The RejuvaWand Skincare System uses low-level light energy to stimulate your body’s own natural rejuvenation process, which improves your skin’s condition in a non-irritating and non-invasive way. There is no redness, swelling or downtime with the RejuvaWand Skincare System. Office-based treatments, such as Lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems, achieve their effects by causing damage to the skin, which in turn promotes a healing process. These treatments are also very expensive and often require multiple visits. The RejuvaWand can be used in the privacy of your own home and costs much less than office-based laser and IPL treatments.</p>
<p><strong><span class="faq">How is the RejuvaWand Skincare System different from other light-based skin therapy products?</span></strong><a title="03" name="03"></a>The RejuvaWand personal care appliance offers a number of important advantages over other light-based therapy products.</p>
<ul>
<li>Light Sources -Unlike competing products, you can choose from two restorative light sources that emit from the RejuvaWand. The visible red light penetrates directly below the skin’s surface, which jumpstarts cell rejuvenation and makes the skin healthier and younger looking. Infrared light penetrates more deeply to further the rejuvenation process. The light sources are used on alternating days to deliver optimal results.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Power Output -Other home-based light therapy skin treatment systems emit light at a much lower output level than the RejuvaWand. In fact, the RejuvaWand emits its two therapeutic lights at a level that is more than 20 times other products’ on the market. This ensures the deepest light penetration into the skin and optimal results.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Emitting Area -The light emission area on the RejuvaWand is over 10 times larger than other products. This design was incorporated for more effective treatment of larger surface areas. and targeted delivery of more light into the skin.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Rejuva Vibe -The RejuvaWand is the only restorative light therapy product to incorporate Rejuva™ Vibe relaxing and healing massage as a key element in the skin rejuvenation process. Rejuva Vibe relaxes uneven surface areas in the skin to help flatten wrinkles and better target restorative light penetration. This relaxing massage also helps to promote the development of new capillaries, which increases blood circulation and the removal of dead and damaged cells, leaving the skin younger and healthier looking.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Light Diffuser -The RejuvaWand diffuses and randomly distributes the red and infrared lights into the skin. This helps to ensure that the restorative light covers the entire treatment area.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span class="faq">Is The RejuvaWand dangerous to use around my eyes?</span> </strong></p>
<p>No. The RejuvaWand Skincare System was designed so that its treatment light will not harm your eyes and is only emitted when in contact with or in close proximity to your skin. Even if you accidentally look directly into the light being emitted during the treatment, your eyes will not be harmed. Regardless of the inherent safety features, directions should always be followed and warning labels should always be read.</p>
<p><strong><span class="faq">Are there any negative side effects from using The RejuvaWand skincare system?</span></strong></p>
<p>The RejuvaWand has been clinically tested by Dermatologists and negative side effects from its use were not reported. In more than 30 years of ongoing clinical tests, trials and studies, there have been no reported short- or long-term negative side effects from similar light treatments.</p>
<p><strong><span class="faq">How long does the RejuvaWand need to be used before I see results?</span></strong></p>
<p>Results depend on many variables including your age, amount of photo-damage from sun exposure, adherence to instructions, proper and consistent use of the recommended Rejuva three step skincare program, etc. With consistent and proper treatment visible changes in your skin’s appearance should be noticeable in 30 days or less. The changes are gradual so it is always advisable to take close up photographs of the area being treated before treatment and then compare them to photos taken after 30 days of using the RejuvaWand Skincare System.<br />
<strong><span class="faq">How often do I need to use the RejuvaWand Skincare System?</span> </strong></p>
<p>For best results, the RejuvaWand Skincare System should be used once a day, in the morning or at nighttime, on each area that is being treated for the preprogrammed amount of time.</p>
<p><strong><span class="faq">Can I use the RejuvaWand Skincare System in conjunction with other treatments like dermabrasion?</span></strong><br />
Yes. In fact, the combined treatment with dermabrasion or other forms of exfoliation may have very positive effects. Dermatologists have commented on the benefits of using the RejuvaWand on a daily basis between office-based treatments. Consult with your treatment dermatologist or aesthetician about the nature of a specific treatment and the possible effects of combining them with daily RejuvaWand usage.<br />

<li>The most important thing you can do to start getting your &#8220;WOW&#8221; back is to change the way you think about aging. Healthy and positive aging is possible.</li>
<li>Most women were raised to believe that certain depressing things would happen to our bodies as we age, especially after having children. Even worse, we were taught that our personal worth would diminish with each year we live.</li>
<li>Nowadays, 50 is the new 30. I know. I am 53 years old and loving it.</li>
<li>At least twice a day affirm from the heart saying &#8220;I am growing younger, better, happier, healthier, wealthier and more full of life.&#8221;</li>
<li>Say it with feeling and total faith. Say it out loud during your daily prayers.</li>
<li>Think it as you drive, do chores, whenever. Remember that what you think about is what you&#8217;ll become. Please don&#8217;t let anyone tell you otherwise! You&#8217;ll be a happier woman believing that you are getting better all of the time.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><font class="pinkmainheading">FIND YOUR INNER SELF AND INDULGE DAILY WITH JOY</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Whatever it is that really regenerates you, do it. Balance is the key.</li>
<li>It is vital to take some time for yourself so you remain a whole and balanced person. When you live only for others it&#8217;s not possible to have WOW!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><font class="pinkmainheading">FIND YOUR INNER SELF AND INDULGE DAILY WITH JOY</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Whatever it is that really regenerates you, do it. Balance is the key.</li>
<li>It is vital to take some time for yourself so you remain a whole and balanced person. When you live only for others it&#8217;s not possible to have WOW!</li>
<li>Someone who has WOW! has a fountain of personal energy and vitality. They&#8217;re interesting. They have an endless source of love to tap into.</li>
<li>Everything can&#8217;t be about the kids. If it&#8217;s all about others you lose your self. And your children don&#8217;t need the guilt of being the entire universe to you. They respect your having your own needs and filling them.</li>
<li>You have to be a complete person in order to have a great relationship with someone else and that includes your kids.</li>
<li>You started off by being yourself and then attracting another. Then you had children and may have lost who you are and forgot about your marriage.</li>
<li>If this happens to you, what kind of life will you be offering your children?</li>
<li>Your spouse and your children will appreciate a mom who nurtures all sides of herself and teaches them to do the same.</li>
<li>Mom is a person first and foremost, then a mate and a mom. All three sides must be tended to.</li>
<li>Indulge yourself each day � even if it&#8217;s only for a few minutes. Nurture your spirit and individuality. Enhance your mind. This is an important source of your WOW!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><font class="pinkmainheading">REVEL IN YOUR SENSUALITY</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you are young, you have a strong sex drive which motivates much of your behavior. It also is responsible for attracting your significant other. In fact, chances are that you would not be a mom at all if you were not a sexual person.</li>
<li>We are all sensual beings. We can&#8217;t deny that part of ourselves. Sexual energy is the driving force behind all of creation. In Eastern philosophies, it is a well-accepted fact that the creative chakra (center) of our bodies is also the sex chakra.</li>
<li>As moms, we can&#8217;t go through life doing one task after another without any time to nurture our own physical needs. Your significant other wants the person they fell in love with. When you were dating, didn&#8217;t you make him a priority? Make him feel important? Loved being intimate with him? Well, just because you had children doesn&#8217;t mean that all that must stop.</li>
<li><strong>The parents&#8217; love for one another is the foundation of the home.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><font class="pinkmainheading">FOSTER AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It is only from a sense of gratitude and joy that we create more good things in our life. That is because positive attracts positive. So if you want more goodness, focus on goodness.</li>
<li>Nothing fades anger and sadness quicker than shifting our attitude to thoughts of gratitude.</li>
<li><strong>When you are feeling good, remember to tell your face. It shows what you think.</strong></li>
<li>No amount of makeup or surgery will make your face look joyous and stress free. Only you can do that.</li>
<li>Renowned facialist Vera Brown always said, <strong><em>&#8220;By 30 you have the face you&#8217;ve earned and by 50 you have the face you deserve&#8221;</em></strong></li>
<li>Change your attitude and do an about face! All puns intended.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><font class="pinkmainheading">UPDATE YOUR LOOK WITH AN IMAGE MAKEOVER</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If your computer software is more current than your hairdo, you might be in a rut. You&#8217;re ready for an image makeover.</li>
<li><font class="pinkmainheading">REJUVENATE YOUR BODY &#8211; LOOKING YOUNGER</font></li>
<li>The physical is an affirmation of the mental and spiritual. You live in a physical world. So take good care of the vehicle that carries you around this planet.</li>
<li>We do not need to grow old, weak, flabby, and ill. Wellness, strength, stamina, good energy is our natural state. Do what it takes daily to nurture your body. Be good to it and it will be good to you.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t get caught in your own time warp. You wouldn&#8217;t expect a 10 year-old computer program to serve your needs, so why expect that an outdated style will.</li>
<li>You need to learn what flatters your best features and accentuate them. Make the trends work for your body, shape and coloring.</li>
<li>Part of being modern is accurately communicating who you are. You don&#8217;t have to try to look twenty. But you must keep up with the trends. Your children will love it.</li>
<li>Your makeup should be updated every spring and fall. Your hairstyle needs to change at least every 2 years. Update your clothing on a seasonal basis.</li>
<li>On a budget? Just add a couple of key pieces, change the way you wear what you have, and keep your hair and makeup current.</li>
<li>We have a responsibility to stay in the fashion groove. If we look like a dinosaur, people will treat us like one.</li>
<li>People are not born &#8220;out of style&#8221;. They get that way when they stop putting effort into their appearance.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s often fear that stops us from changing. Fear of looking silly. Fear of not wearing the new trend correctly.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.facercise.com/images/photo_carole.gif" alt="carole maggio" align="left" height="174" width="171" />Only in Boston would you combine driving your car and a face lift. That’s he growing trend of those who are trying to turn back the hands of time without surgery by doing “Facercise” in their cars and homes. Scrunching eye brows, doing nose lifts and power lip puckers are but a few of the exercises that one can follow along on their CD or DVD.</p>
<p>Carole Maggio, CEO of <a href="http://www.facercise.com" title="Facercise" target="_blank">Facercise</a> joins Craig to discuss her synergistic series of facial exercises and how they can keep you looking young longer without surgery.</p>
<p><span id="more-52"></span>“I call it the anti-Botox boom,” says Carole Maggio, creator of the facercise program and a internationally known skin and<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=0399527834%26tag=tectalwitcrap-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/0399527834%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" title="Click and drag this image to the post editor"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0399527834.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg" align="right" width="127" /></a> facial consultant who runs the Carole Maggio Spa in Redondo Beach, California. “Botox deadens the muscles to relax them and erase wrinkles but Facercise does the opposite. It strengthens muscles to shape fuller lips, lifted eyebrows, wide open and vibrant eyes, a shorter nose as well as a chiseled chin, neck and jaw line.” And they do it in their cars as well. “It’s a great way improve your appearance and feel like your commute was productive.”</p>
<p>Maggio says “facercising” is more effective than cosmetic surgery and many facial problem areas can be toned with simple movements.</p>
<p>For example, raising your eyebrows up and down at least five times is actually an “eye enhancing exercise” that strains your muscles and makes your eyes bigger in no time.</p>
<p>For a plump pout, Maggio suggests flexing the corners of your mouth, “like you’re sucking on a lemon” and pushing on the corners with your thumb and index finger until you “feel the burn.”</p>
<p>For a perky schnoz, “nose pumps,” where you pinch your nose with one hand and pull your upper lip with the other hand should do the trick.</p>
<p>Although driving while facercising seems odd, Maggio argues, “You exercise your nose while most people are picking theirs. At least you can be constructive during your drive.”</p>
<p>The Facercise trend is not just in California. Maggio says that the largest customers of her DVD and CD are in Japan. “Japanese women are real believers in using non-invasive means to look better,” she said. “There is no down<br />
side to trying the exercises before you consider other more drastic measures to look and feel better. It also costs a fraction of what more invasive measures would.”</p>
<p>“Just as a body builder can use weight training to isolate and develop certain muscles in his or her body, a particular facial feature can be developed and accentuated by performing a specific facial exercise. After five days of Facercise, men and women see a younger face smiling back at them in the mirror.”</p>
<p>Just as Botox and other injectibles are becoming a growing choice for many women, many others cannot afford the treatments let alone a full face lift.  But they can spend time in their cars, trying to look younger one mile at a time.</p>
<p>Do you want to try it for yourself?   Maggio offers instructional CD’s and DVD’s at www.facercise.com.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>About Carole:</strong></p>
<p align="left">Carole Maggio, considered &#8220;the world’s foremost authority on facial exercises&#8221; has devised a series of synergistic exercises which she has successfully taught to hundreds of thousands of clients world wide. In 1995, as an answer to thousands of questions regarding her techniques, she authored the best selling book, FACERCISE®. This book continues to be a top selling item in bookstores worldwide. She has also produced two DVDs and two CDs to demonstrate her FACERCISE® techniques.</p>
<p align="left"> Ms. Maggio has a legion of supporters among the medical professionals worldwide. She has had numerous testimonials from many plastic surgeons who support her belief that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Her credo is to address the causes of facial aging, not to just treat the symptoms.</p>
<p align="left"> Ms. Maggio long ago discovered that through proper exercises, one can strengthen and develop the 57 face and neck muscles so that the face can actually be restructured to achieve an improved, younger look. Just as a body builder can develop particular muscles in his or her body, a particular facial feature can be developed and accentuated by performing a specific facial exercise. In just a short period of time there will be a noticeable difference in the contour and tone of the face.</p>
<p align="left"> Ms. Maggio has appeared on numerous television shows including <strong>Dateline, Geraldo, New York Today, CNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, BBC, HSN, QVC, The Learning Channel, Discovery, Good Morning Arizona and The Food Network among others.</strong></p>
<p align="left"> Ms. Maggio&#8217;s techniques have been voted as one of the top 100 beauty products in the world by <strong>Harpers &amp; Queen magazine.</strong> As quoted in the <em><strong>New York Times</strong></em>, Ms. Maggio has succeeded <strong>&#8220;in bending time’s arrow the other way.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>About Carole Maggio Day Spa:</strong></p>
<p>Carole Maggio Day Spa is a cosmetic treatment spa specializing in non-invasive alternatives to plastic surgery. Ms. Maggio is an experienced facial therapist and esthetician whose renowned facial exercise techniques for men and women have earned popularity in 17 countries. These methods, which Ms. Maggio has dubbed Facercise, focus on strengthening facial muscles for a lasting improvement in appearance. The spa also offers body sculpting/cellulite reduction, microdermabrasion, and advanced facials.</p>
<p>Facercise works to lift and tone the 57 muscles in the face and neck. As a result of frequent and intensive yet brief (approximately ten minutes a session) facial workouts, signs of aging such as skin slackness and drooping mouth can be visibly reduced within five days and prevented from returning as long as exercises are kept up. Clients unhappy with an individual facial feature can work with professionals to develop individualized Facercise regimens aimed at restructuring the problem from the underlying muscles outward.</p>
<p>Carole Maggio&#8217;s signature CM Body Sculpting involves sweeping massage-like strokes designed to increase circulation and break up fat deposits. The treatment is applicable to the buttocks, lower back, arms, and legs for firming and toning effects. On average, recipients lose eight to 14 inches after ten 30-minute, twice-weekly treatments. Results are thoroughly documented during the regimen.</p>
<p>Licensed estheticians are also on hand to perform results-oriented skincare services. Guests can take advantage of a series of DiamondTone Microdermabrasion treatments in order to smooth skin tone and address irregularities, e.g. acne scarring and sun damage. Other available skin-rejuvenating treatments include anti-aging facial massage, antioxidant facial, and results-oriented tightening and toning facials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While doing your spring cleaning this year, don’t forget your face. Spring is the best time to address all your facial issues. With all the weddings, reunions and parties this summer, what better time than now to take care of your wrinkles and lines? You can even address some signs of aging before they happen.</p>
<p><span class="text"><img src="http://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.com/images/dr_photos/nassif.jpg" alt="Spalding Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology -  Our Doctors - PAUL S. NASSIF, M.D., F.A.C.S." align="left" height="156" vspace="10" width="125" /></span>Dr. Paul Nassif, MD of <a href="http://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.com/" title="Spaulding Plastic Surgery" target="_blank">Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology</a> say&#8217;s SPRINGTIME IS THE BEST TIME FOR WOMEN AND MEN TO REJUVENATE THEIR LOOK.  He joins Craig to discuss how we can put your best face forward this spring with help from renowned facial and reconstructive surgeon.</p>
<p>“Many patients are simply looking for small changes, maybe they are tired of the crows’ feet around their eyes or they would like fuller, plumper lips.  For these, injectable fillers are a great answer.  But, there are options to great looking skin at every age,” said Dr. Nassif.</p>
<p><span id="more-50"></span><strong>Here is Dr. Nassif’s guide for great skin at any age:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Twenties</strong> &#8212; For 20-year-olds, their skin looks great, but sunscreen is essential.  To protect their skin from premature aging moisturize with at least spf 15 daily.  Injectables like Restylane offer younger patients a way to plump up lips and add volume to checks and chins.</p>
<p><strong>Thirties</strong> – In the 30s, the skin can look drier, thinner and wrinkles may start to appear around the eyes and mouth.  Plenty of water and moisturizing twice a day keeps the skin hydrated.  Another tool, injectables and fillers such as BOTOX, Juvederm, Sculptra and Radiesse combat the early signs of aging by filling in wrinkles, or plumping up lips and cheeks.</p>
<p><strong>Forties </strong>– During the forties, the skin’s cell renewal and collagen production begins to slow down leaving the skin looking dull.  Age spots, freckles, and pores become more noticeable.  Exfoliation and chemical peels help get rid of dead skin cells and reveal smoother skin.  A blepharoplasty can be a good option for those with sagging skin around the eyes.</p>
<p><strong>Fifties</strong> &#8212; Dry skin and wrinkles are common in the 50s, as well as sagging skin around the neck and chin so good skin care is essential.  Other ways to fight aging include dermal fillers to add fullness and facelifts, like the Anti-Gravity Lift, to address saggy cheeks, chins and jowls</p>
<p><strong>Sixties</strong> &#8212; Moisturizer is critical in the 60s.  Decreased circulation to the skin makes it look lighter and dryer.  Laser resurfacing and microdermadrasion help address skin issues.  While an upper and lower facelift or facial implants correct heavy jowls and deep facial lines.</p>
<p>Cosmetic surgery should strive to create a natural look that is in harmony with your features and appearance.</p>

<p>The WaveScan WaveFront® System provides fast and efficient capture of the patient&#8217;s wavefront data through the use of precise Hartmann-Shack aberrometry. WaveScan® technology is also designed to provide a host of practice-enhancing capabilities, such as using the Fourier algorithm to precisely reconstruct the wavefront treatment plan, off-line programming, and auto exam selection mode, which maximize patient flow.</p>
<h2 class="customvuehed">CustomVue™ Laser Vision Correction:<br />
FDA approved to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism</h2>
<p>You may have heard CustomVue treatments referred to as &#8220;custom&#8221; or &#8220;wavefront&#8221; LASIK.  This breakthrough treatment establishes a new standard in laser vision correction.</p>
<p>CustomVue treatments use WaveScan™ technology, originally developed to reduce distortions  in high-powered telescopes, to measure imperfections in your eye <span class="customvuecopyspecial">25 times</span>  more precisely than standard methods.</p>
<p><span class="customvuecopy">In a clinical study for treatment of low to moderate myopia (nearsightedness), one year  after treatment 98 percent of patients receiving CustomVue treatment could see 20/20 or better.</span></p>
<p><span class="customvuecopy">CustomVue treatment can free you from the full-time use of eyeglasses or contact lenses,  while offering the potential for better vision than you could achieve with either.</span></p>
<p><span class="customvuecopy">Are you a candidate for the CustomVue procedure? Since CustomVue treatment is approved for myopia, hyperopia  and astigmatism, 94 percent* of all laser vision correction candidates are  potentially eligible for a CustomVue procedure.</span></p>
<h2 class="customvuehed">How the CustomVue™ Procedure Works</h2>
<p><span class="customvuecopy">CustomVue treatments use WaveScan™ technology created by VISX,  Incorporated, originally developed to reduce  distortions in high-powered telescopes when viewing distant objects in space.</span><span class="customvuecopy"></span></p>

lost or damaged glasses a serious safety hazard for both the soldier and their entire unit.</p>
<p>In the last few weeks, Dr. Schallhorn has begun performing LASIK surgery on naval aviators. This is the first time the US<br />
Navy has allowed vision correction surgery to be performed on naval aviators, due in part to Schallhorn&#8217;s extensive studies.Previously, navy aviators have been ineligible to have LASIK<br />
surgery.</p>

<h2>About AMO</h2>
<p><intro_cnt></intro_cnt><strong>Advanced Medical Optics, Inc.</strong> (AMO) (NYSE: EYE) is a global medical device leader focused on the discovery and delivery of innovative vision technologies that optimize the quality of life for people of all ages.  The company focuses on developing a broad suite of innovative technologies and devices to address a wide range of eye disorders.</p>
<p>AMO became an independent company in June 2002 following a spin-off from Allergan, Inc.  AMO is based in Santa Ana, California, and employs approximately 3,800 people worldwide.  The company has operations in 24 countries and markets products in approximately 60 countries.</p>
<p>AMO (originally American Medical Optics) started business in 1976 as a pioneer in the early development of intraocular lenses for cataract patients.  We brought the first small-incision foldable intraocular lens through the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory process and began marketing it in 1989. Foldable lenses were a major advance in cataract surgery because they made it possible for surgeons to insert the lens through a small incision. This meant less trauma to the eye and faster visual recovery from cataract surgery, from months to days.</p>
<p>AMO developed the Array® intraocular lens, the first multifocal intraocular lens to be approved for commercial distribution by the U.S. FDA. Multifocal implants provide patients with distance, intermediate, and near vision. Traditional monofocal lenses generally provide good distance vision only.</p>
<p>AMO designed and developed new equipment for removing cataracts. We have an outstanding phacoemulsification system, called the Sovereign® System. The Sovereign® System is equipped with WhiteStar™ software, an advanced technology that uses very low levels of ultrasound power to dissolve the full range of dense cataracts that can develop in the eye. The Sovereign® System won the prestigious Medical Design Excellence Silver Award from the Industrial Designers Society of America in 1999 for “excellence in medical product design engineering.”</p>
<p>AMO entered the refractive surgery market with the Amadeus™ Microkeratome, a device used during LASIK procedures. The Amadeus™ microkeratome produces the corneal flap that protects the eye after the laser procedure.</p>
<p>In 2004, AMO introduced the Verisyse™ phakic IOL for treatment of moderate to severe myopia, the first lens of its kind to receive FDA approval. The company also acquired the Tecnis® and CeeOn® IOLs, the Healon® line of viscoelastics and the Baerveldt® glaucoma device, marking the company&#8217;s entrance into the glaucoma market. The Tecnis® IOL is the first IOL with a modified prolate optic to have a claim for improved functional vision.</p>
