Aging Is Not What I Want It To Be…WAAAHHHHHH!

I was talking to my brother-in-law Charlie about aging. Charlie and I happen to have birthdays two days apart but he is nine years older than I am.

We look back with nostalgia at someone who is at the number we once were. My own mother is in her 80s but will not admit it. Each year she has what Alice In Wonderland calls an “un-birthday.” I might try this approach for my coming... Read more »

The History of Microdermabrasion

There are close to 120 different microdermabrasion machines available on the market today.

The FDA classified the machines as Class 1 devices which can be sold without clinical efficacy evidence, and the machines can be used without medical supervision. This just shows how important it is to choose a professional clinic for your microdermabrasion needs before you go ahead and try it out for yourself at home. The precursor to microdermabrasion was dermabrasion, and this is a more invasive... Read more »
