A recent investigation by The Times has uncovered a worrying trend for Botox patients. Regulations introduced a few years ago made it a requirement that anyone issuing prescriptions for Botox can only do so after seeing the patient in person.

Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Throughout The Ages - To The 21st Century
Many people mistakenly believe that 'plastic surgery' takes its name from the use of silicone and other artificial materials to achieve cosmetic improvements. In fact, the name comes from the Greek word ‘plastikos’, which means ‘capable of being shaped and moulded’ and was coined in 1798 by the French anatomist and surgeon, Pierre Desault. In antiquity Both the Greeks and the Romans performed plastic surgery for reconstructive purposes on wounded s... Read more

A Brief History of Butts (and how to get a more shapely one)
Rounder and more voluptuous buttocks have been celebrated as a symbol of womanly beauty and fertility since time immemorial.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Gives Hope to Vietnam’s ‘napalm girl’ More Than 40 Years on
Advanced laser technology is to thank for one of this year’s most inspiring news stories. Kim Phúc became a tragic symbol of the Vietnam war when, in June 1972, she was photographed as she ran naked, screaming, and terribly burned from a napalm strike on her village in the south of the country. The photograph, taken by AP photojournalist Nick Ut, would later win the Pulitzer Prize and be regarded as one of the most haunting images to emerge from the con... Read more

Transgender has always been a touchy subject, with most people unsure how to even have a conversation about it let alone live with the issue. Caitlyn Jenner appeared on July's front cover of Vanity Fair, in my opinion look... Read more
