Evolence... A New Type of Collagen

The field of cosmetic injectables continues to get more complicated as the newest filler, Evolence, is set to make its widespread debut in the United States.
Evolence is a type of injectable collagen made from pig tissue. It's FDA approved as of July 2008 for the improvement of nasolabial folds, or the deep wrinkles that extend between the nose to the corners of the mouth. It's not recommended for the lips. The results appear to last six months or more according to most articles. The big selling point is the reported lack of bruising or swelling which accompanies its injection.

I don't have experience with this product yet, but have been invited to become trained in it. The cosmetic market is full of so many fillers nowadays, some I use (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Sculptra) and some I don't (Artefill, Radiesse, Captique, Hylaform). Time will tell if this one is all it's hyped to be.
My problem with ALL of these fillers is the cost per syringe. The average person has a hard time spending $500-$1000 per treatment, especially in this terrible economy. If a company could market a filler that lasts a year but costs only $100 per syringe all the other ones would go out of business. I'd buy that one!

Sarah Palin and Plastic Surgery?

Has Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin had plastic surgery? Make Me Heal.com has a post describing their thoughts on this. I would agree with most of their assertions, basically that if she's had work done it's probably something minor like Botox in her forehead, skin rejuvenation lasers or peels, and maybe some teeth whitening. Overall, she looks pretty naturally youthful to me. I guess standing next to John McCain, nearly anyone would look young!

Iphone Continues to Be My Dream Phone

Iphone continues to be my dream phone. I love gadgets, no doubt. Everything and anything electronic from phones, mp3 players, mp4, digital cameras, laptops, computer, portable dvds, etc.

I'm blogging about this because according to my sister her boyfriend just got himself an iPhone. Of course the good news brought an envy on my part. Yes i feel so envious that someone get to own an iphone while I continue to dream of that day when I too can buy one for myself. Aahh! Sigh!

That's all for now. Just expressing my little disappointment..

Tila Tequila and Breast Implants

Does MTV reality star Tila Tequila have breast implants? It appears so... Here is what she said in an interview for Import Tuner:

2NR: Real or fake?
TN: Real on the outside! They're fake, but they are proportioned to my body very well.

The roundness of her breasts on her tiny frame give them away to me. I think they are probably small C's and fit her body well. It's crazy how My Space can make someone a star!

The New Season of Dr. 90210

The sixth season of E! Television's Dr. 90210 is premiering Monday, Sept 8th at 10/9c. Check out the preview clip on eonline.com here. Dr. 90210 is now the only plastic surgery television series that airs new episodes. I've got it TiVo'd. Dr. Gary Motykie is a friend of mine, and a good guy. He actually took my spot in L.A. when I left to return to Michigan. It's good to see he's doing well for himself.

Digital Makeover

Photography is something that I really love. I think many people like taking pictures of special places, special events and of special people, most especially now that digital cameras are not expensive at all and cellular phones have built in camera in them.

Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover, is a show that is dedicated to helping ordinary folks spice up their digital lives. So if you have this passion for anything digital you might as well pay attention to this show. There are two people to help you out. One is Zoey who is an expert at all things related to digital camera and most importantly in using digital photos to reinforce friends and family bond. Chris on the other hand, is more on the video side, like on how to create videos for special occasions, etc.

Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover encourages you to participate. Just join the contest. You learn and at the same time you can win prizes like HDTV, camera and other digital goodies.

So anyway, I like the episode about "A Walk in the Park". I embed the video so that you’ll have a peek of it.
