Is Botox Worth a Shot?

These days you do not have to have a face lift to cut some years of your look. Most people are now looking to injectables – Botox, Dysport, Restylane and other noninvasive shots aimed to relax facial wrinkles and fill lines. We should always remember that injectables are not a replacement of a good daily skin care routine, but they can actually work in tandem with good skincare products to keep your skin looking healthy and prevent premature ageing. Injectables can deliver an almost instant gratification on your look, the sessions are fast and the procedures are typically pretty painless.

They are also much cheaper options with less downtime compared to plastic surgeries. Treatment prices can range anywhere from $ 250 to more than $1000 depending on the type of treatment and the area treated.

As in any treatment, there could be side effects as well, including bruising, drooped eye, swelling.

Be Sun Smart When Driving

Cars and driving is an integral part of our lives. We all know about traffic rules and get annoyed about traffic jams and delay, but how many of us know that prolonged sun exposure from driving increases our risk of skin cancers. When I examine patients, especially men, for skin cancer, I tend to see more skin cancers on the right side of the face and hands, which is the driving side in Australia. People should be aware that the longer they stay behind the wheels during the day, the larger the amount of sun exposure they receive. Your daily sun exposure does not
