Cosmetic Surgery in UK: Is it Safe? British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons president Nigel Mercer has described the British cosmetic surgery industry as an “unregulated mess” and said that tighter control is needed to clamp down on untested products and two-in-one medical offers.

Mercer said there is also a need to regulate new products like dermal fillers, which currently do not have to be tested as drugs. He also called for the government not to allow discount offers in the medical field.

Botox Side Effects – Happiness – University of Washington Study

Botox Side Effects: Will it Bring You Happiness? Botox, the popular anti-wrinkle drug much-loved by aging celebrities, will make you feel happier because it stops your face from frowning.

This is what researchers from the University of Wisconsin found out after testing 40 volunteers. Before and after giving them small doses of Botox into their forehead, the volunteers were asked to read a series of statements that show emotions such as happiness, loneliness and anger.

The results show that the volunteers read out the more negative statements slightly longer than they did before having the injections.

Even caulking used for the sink or bathtub sometimes. The men and women doing the procedures are not professionals, and they’re often not physicians, but they’re promising things, saying, “Oh, I know what I’m doing, I can get you a good result.” But there are people in jail who have killed people — not immediately, but as a result of injecting these terrible fillers.
