It is pretty clear that our way of living today is a far cry from the way our grandparents lived. It is interesting to even consider what life was like a few generations ago. People actually cooked dinner every evening and, if they wanted to contact a loved one across the country, they had to […]
In recent years, we have seen a sharp transition away from surgical procedures and toward injectable wrinkle-reducers and tissue-fillers. The use of products such as BOTOX and Juvéderm is the new norm that leads increasing numbers of people to their dermatologist or plastic surgeon for quick rejuvenation.
