(The Sun) - SuperDrug has become the first health and beauty retail chain to offer Botox in UK store. But experts have warned the anti-ageing injects can cause "serious infection or paralysis" in some cases. The health and beauty retailer today announced the launch of its new Skin Renew Service, which offers customers anti-wrinkle and rejuvenation treatments including Botox and dermal fillers. Superdrug will only be offering the service to those over 25 who have booked through their customer care line, not to people who walk in from the high street. It will cost £99 and only be available in selected stores. Caris Newson, head of Health and Wellbeing at Superdrug, said: "We know from our research among 10,000 customers that feeling confident about how you look is linked to a person’s wellbeing, and that’s different for all of us. "For some it might mean having their eyebrows threaded or getting their nails done, for others taking new vitamins or getting fitter, o...

(FRANCE 24) - It’s been eight years since the French authorities first drew attention to a French company selling faulty, and potentially dangerous, breast implants. The implants, manufactured by French company Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP), were made with cheap, unapproved silicone designed for use in mattresses. Hundreds of thousands of women all over the world were affected – and all are still waiting for compensation. In 2010, the French medicine and healthcare watchdog Afssaps withdrew the PIP implants from the market, after surgeons reported a higher-than-usual rate of rupture. The same day, Poly Implant Prothèse was placed into compulsory liquidation. What followed was a drawn-out health scandal that took years to skewer those responsible. Jean-Claude Mas, the founder of PIP was only condemned for fraud six years later. He launched an appeal, which was eventually rejected by France’s highest court in September this year, and he will be serving a sentence of four years in jail a...

(Coconuts Media) - A 2000s-era Thai pop star is back in the spotlight after this weekend speaking publicly about her “near death story” following a breast augmentation surgery in South Korea that went terribly wrong. Photo: Facebook/ May Jeeranan In viral Facebook posts made on Friday, Jeeranan “May” Kitprasarn, a singer formerly signed with record label RS, said she decided to go under the knife — for the first time in her life — in late December to get breast implants. The surgery, she says, ended up putting her in a coma where she had a “10 percent chance of survival.” Jeeranan said that, in an attempt to improve her posture (*ahem*) and confidence, she paid a whopping THB800,000 (US$24,000) to have the surgery at Grand Plastic Surgery hospital in Seoul, which she said had many positive reviews. But soon after the operation, Jeeranan said her breasts had caused irregular bleeding and burning sensations, something she claims her doctor and nurses said was perfectly normal. “I...

(AAFPRS) - The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery , the world’s largest association of facial plastic surgeons, annual survey shows that, like it or not, the selfie and its impact on aesthetics is here to stay and continues to have a huge effect on how we perceive and project ourselves – in front of the camera and off. The annual survey explores the top trends in facial plastic surgery and compares year-over-year results. SELFIE AWARENESS IS HERE TO STAY For better or worse, “selfie-awareness” is more than a fad. In 2017, 55 percent of facial plastic surgeons saw patients who want to look better in selfies in their practices (up 13 percent from 2016). First identified by AAFPRS members more than three years ago in the annual survey, the trend continues to gain steam and transform the facial plastic surgery industry. “For a few years, AAFPRS members have been at the forefront of this trend,” says AAFPRS President William H. Truswell, M.D. “More and mor...

Eye bags are commonly caused by the thinning of the skin that will reveal the existing fats and muscles around the eyes. Factors such as lack of sleep, tobacco, alcohol and ageing contribute to the appearance of eye bags and dark circles under eyes. A lot of the eye bag removal creams on the market in Malaysia are just offering false hope. So, which eye bag treatments really do work and proven to work, and which are simply snake oil? The reality is, there is no one size fits all answer and the treatment varies amongst doctors in Malaysia. The common reason is because your eye bag problem is different from others or every doctor tends to have different training background and experience. Therefore it is important to have a discussion with a doctor that you can trust so that he/she can examine you and recommend the most appropriate plan. Eye bag removal treatments , can be categorised into non-surgical and surgical options. Non-surgical options Some of the non-surgical eye bag ...
