Bayer’s investigational drug ATX-101 can significantly and sustainably reduce unwanted fat under the chin, also known as submental fat, or double chin. More than two years after treatment with ATX-101 in Phase IIa clinical trials, levels of SMF reduction were sustained in more than 90 percent of patients who had initially responded to treatment, while treatment satisfaction was maintained or improved in over 80 percent of these patients, according to the results of a long-term follow up study presented at the 11th Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress being held in Monaco.

Allure surveys men, women on anti-aging techniques
Daily Glow
For its April 2013 issue, Allure magazine completed a survey of 2,000 men and women to determine how they view aging. The result is part of a national anti-aging poll commissioned by the magazine to study all aspects of aging including its impacts on a person’s career, life and relationships. Not surprisingly, the magazine found that women are more likely to get plastic surgery to change or alter their appearance than men. Although women are more likely to go to extremes to stay young, the poll did find that men also care about their appearances.

When I first made the decision to adopt a vegan diet, many of the more “seasoned” vegans in my life told me about all the wonderful benefits I could expect. I heard that I would likely drop unwanted weight more easily, that I would have more energy and that I wouldn’t have to worry as much about things like heart disease or cancer.
The first was that seemingly overnight, my skin turned from an acne-prone mess into beautiful, clear, healthy-looking skin. I had struggled with acne my entire teenage life and into my early adulthood, and to be completely honest, I had tried everything to help solve the problem.

A new sign of aging was reported earlier this month by Gettysburg
College’s Richard Russell and two colleagues from Chanel Research and
Technology. According to the study, which was published in journal
PLOS ONE, your facial features lose some of their color contrast with
age — and people can tell.
“Unlike with wrinkles, none of us are consciously aware that we’re
using this cue, even though it stares us in the face every day,” the
good Dr. Russell burbled in a Gettysburg College press release.
Age is a primary social dimension. We behave differently toward people
as a function of how old we perceive them to be. Age perception relies
on cues that are correlated with age, such as wrinkles. Here we report
that aspects of facial contrast–the contrast between facial features
and the surrounding skin–decreased with age in a large sample of adult
Caucasian females. These same aspects of facial contrast were also
significantly correlated with the perceived age of the faces.
Individual faces were perceived as younger when these aspects of
facial contrast were artificially increased, but older when these
aspects of facial contrast were artificially decreased. These findings
show that facial contrast plays a role in age perception, and that
faces with greater facial contrast look younger. Because facial
contrast is increased by typical cosmetics use, we infer that
cosmetics function in part by making the face appear younger.

The eyes are one of the first areas of the face to show the signs of aging, which can be anything from fine lines and wrinkles to more severe under-eye bags, hollows and creepy skin. Fillers may be a quick fix for the right patient but they physically don’t address structural changes to the eyes — only surgery can.
