HOUSTON, TX, April 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Those crow's feet and laugh lines can get to you after a while. Then, one day, you notice how prominent your brow furrows have become. You try creams and makeup but nothing gets rid of those signs of aging. Yet, for millions of men and women, wrinkles are no longer a nagging aggravation. BOTOX Cosmetic Injections has become the most popular way to make age lines disappear. And when administered through the hands of an exceptional cosmetic surgeon, you can take years off your appearance in a single short treatment session.
How BOTOX Works
BOTOX works by weakening the muscles directly where it is applied. Wrinkles are caused by repeated contracture of the muscles beneath the skin. As skin ages and loses its tone, lines, wrinkles and furrows can develop in the skin. Relaxed muscles no longer scrunch the skin causing wrinkles.
Cosmetic uses for BOTOX include wrinkle treatment around the lips, eyes, forehead, between the eyes, and the neck. BOTOX does not cause numbness, and works only on the nerves that control movement.
Effectiveness of BOTOX
So effective are BOTOX treatments that many people choose this treatment as an alternative to a brow lift. Results last up to four months, and treatment has few side effects. Wrinkles disappear as facial muscles relax. Using top skin care products can help moisturize and rebuild the skin to give a smoother, younger-looking appearance.
Other Uses for BOTOX
BOTOX has been used to effectively reduce masseter muscles of the jaw-the ones we use to chew with. This treatment with BOTOX can reduce the size of these muscles and give your face a more oval shape.
Non-cosmetic uses for BOTOX help control a condition called blepharospasm in which the eyelids twitch, or spasm.
People who perspire excessively may benefit from BOTOX injections. BOTOX blocks nerve impulses, and has been shown to block those that ultimately cause sweating.
The neuro-blocking action by BOTOX has been used to reduce migraine headache intensity and frequency, and to relieve chronic back or jaw pain.
BOTOX Side Effects
Side effects of BOTOX treatment are few and rare. The most common include minute red marks from the injections and minor bruising, both of which disappear within hours. Occasionally, a patient will experience temporary paralysis of specific muscle groups, longer lasting bruising or an allergic reaction. These tend to resolve within a couple weeks.

VIMS study: Propeller turbulence may affect marine food webs

The study—by VIMS graduate student Samantha Bickel, VIMS professor Kam Tang, and Hampton University undergraduate Joseph Malloy Hammond—appears in the March issue of the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology.
The researchers don't expect their findings to lead to any new "No Wake" signs in local waterways; their interest instead is to ...

Early product launches: How will consumers respond?
2011-04-20
A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research explains why consumers often indicate they are willing to pay more for a product that is not yet available—but are reluctant to pay that price when the product is ultimately launched.
The answer lies in the consumers' distance from the purchase. "In many product evaluations, a purchase is somehow removed from one's direct experience," write authors Torsten Bornemann and Christian Homburg (both University of Mannheim, Germany). For example, consumers may evaluate a preannounced new product long before it is available for ...
Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift
2011-04-20
One of the most common questions plastic surgeons receive from women contemplating breast surgery is whether to opt for breast augmentation or a breast lift. The two procedures are performed for different reasons and accomplish different goals. Your aesthetic goals will generally determine which procedure your plastic surgeon recommends; however, breast augmentation is often combined with a breast lift for enhanced results.
Breast Augmentation Overview
Breast augmentation is an effective way to help you achieve your desired breast size and shape. Breast implants are ...
Does seeing overweight people make us eat more?
2011-04-20
Consumers will choose and eat more indulgent food after they see someone who is overweight—unless they consciously think about their health goals, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research.
"Why do people often think back on a pleasant evening with friends and realize that they ate more and worse food than they wish they had?" ask authors Margaret C. Campbell (Leeds School of Business) and Gina S. Mohr (University of Colorado, Boulder). If any of those friends carry a few extra pounds, just being in their presence could trigger what the authors call ...
When a salad is not a salad: Why are dieters easily misled by food names?
2011-04-20
Dieters are so involved with trying to eat virtuously that they are more likely than non-dieters to choose unhealthy foods that are labeled as healthy, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. It seems dieter focus on food names can work to their disadvantage.
"Keeping your weight-loss goal in mind as you scan the lunch menu at a café, you are careful to avoid pasta selections and instead order from the list of salad options," write authors Caglar Irmak (University of South Carolina), Beth Vallen (Loyola University), and Stefanie Rosen Robinson (University ...

Why do hopeful consumers make healthier choices than happy ones?
2011-04-20
Happy people are more likely to eat candy bars, whereas hopeful people choose fruit, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. That's because when people feel hope, they're thinking about the future.
"Most of us are aware that we often fall victim to emotional eating, but how is it that we might choose unhealthy or healthy snacks when we're feeling good?" write authors Karen Page Winterich (Pennsylvania State University) and Kelly L. Haws (Texas A&M University).
Because previous research has explored how feeling sad leads to eating bad, the authors ...
Political wins celebrated with porn, says Rutgers-Camden Researcher
2011-04-20
CAMDEN – Some celebrate a political candidate's victory with a party. Others, according to a Rutgers–Camden researcher, choose porn.
Rutgers–Camden psychologist Charlotte Markey and husband Patrick Markey of Villanova University published findings in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior that suggest vicarious winning in elections yields a higher usage of internet porn. Depending on the party wins in 2004, 2006, and 2008, some members "celebrated" with visits to sultry internet sites.
This research, which utilized Google trends, has been popular on blogs as well ...
Sporting events and traffic fatalities: When winning is not a good thing
2011-04-20
When your team wins a close one, you may be in danger driving home after the game, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. The study shows that traffic fatalities rise near the hometowns of winning teams on game days.
"The thrill of victory may result in a not-so-thrilling consequence for winning fans' drive home," write authors Stacy Wood (North Carolina State University), Melayne Morgan McInnes, and David A. Norton (both University of South Carolina). "While some sports junkies will be quick to tell you they live and die by whether their favorite ...
