LOS ANGELES, CA, December 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) For most people, a single treatment of BOTOX Cosmetic will last for three to six months. How long your treatment lasts will depend on factors such as your age, smoking habits, lifestyle choices, sun exposure, and environmental factors. If you notice a reappearance of wrinkles and you want to address them right away, it is safe to have BOTOX Cosmetic injections with greater frequency. This is best determined by your plastic surgeon.
The active ingredient in BOTOX Cosmetic is the same as that in BOTOX treatments used for medical issues such as migraines. For migraine patients, BOTOX is often injected daily or weekly until symptoms dissipate. Studies have found that one out of every 10,000 people will develop immunity to BOTOX Cosmetic, but frequent injections have not been shown to have any adverse health effects.
What BOTOX Cosmetic Does
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily interrupts signals between nerves and muscles in the treated area. This interruption prevents muscle tension which can cause a tightening or wrinkling of the skin. When injected by an experienced cosmetic surgeon, BOTOX Cosmetic can be incredibly effective at reducing the appearance of:
- Forehead wrinkles and creases
- Crow's feet
- Smile and laugh lines
- Facial folds
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily interrupts nerve signals, but does not damage the nerve itself. Over time, these signals will repair themselves, allowing the muscles to tense and wrinkles to reappear. Some people are comfortable allowing wrinkles to redevelop in between treatments. Others prefer to repeat injections at the first sign of wrinkles. This should be based on your comfort level and discussed with your plastic surgeon before you begin treatment. If you desire a longer-lasting solution, your plastic surgeon can provide you with other surgical and nonsurgical options.

Breast Implants 'Bottoming Out'
2012-12-23
As regards breast implants, the term "bottoming out" means one or both implants have descended below the natural fold of your lower breast. When bottoming out occurs, your nipple may sit unnaturally high on breast mound, and your breasts may appear asymmetrical or droopy. If you chose inframammary incisions for your breast augmentation, your scar may move to the midline of your breast when bottoming out occurs as well.
Reducing Your Risk
There are breast augmentation options your plastic surgeon can offer to reduce your risk of bottoming out. These include:

New insights into how immune system fights atherosclerosis
2012-12-22
New York, NY (December 21, 2012) — A study led by Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers has found that an important branch of the immune system, in reaction to the development of atherosclerotic lesions, mounts a surprisingly robust anti-inflammatory T cell response that helps prevent the disease from progressing. The findings may help inform the design of anti-atherosclerosis vaccines and other therapies that can take advantage of this aspect of the immune system. The study was published today in the online edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Boosting galactan sugars could boost biofuel production
2012-12-22
Galactan is a polymer of galactose, a six-carbon sugar that can be readily fermented by yeast into ethanol and is a target of interest for researchers in advanced biofuels produced from cellulosic biomass. Now an international collaboration led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) has identified the first enzyme capable of substantially boosting the amount of galactan in plant cell walls.
Unlike ethanol, advanced biofuels synthesized from the sugars in plant cells walls could replace gasoline, diesel and jet fuels on ...
Study probes why and how patients with lung cancer initially get diagnosed with the disease
2012-12-22
DALLAS – Dec. 21, 2012 – UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are looking into the widespread implementation of computed-tomography (CT) scanning for the early detection of lung cancer in a public heath setting, asking two key questions: Without screening, why and how do patients with lung cancer get diagnosed with the disease in the first place? And what proportion of these cases would be captured by screening efforts?
Dr. David Gerber, an oncologist and assistant professor of internal medicine, has used the electronic medical records data of more than 400 patients ...
NASA Sees the major Midwestern snowstorm in infrared light
2012-12-22
NASA and NOAA satellites have been providing data on the powerful low pressure area that dropped more than a foot of snow in some Midwestern states and prompted many warnings and weather advisories. NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image, while NOAA's GOES-13 satellite data was compiled into an animation that showed the movement of the storm system.
On Dec. 21 at 0729 UTC (2:29 a.m. EST), the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of the massive low pressure area that caused a major snowstorm ...
