Paraben Free Skin Care and Mineral Makeup Line Introduced by Bon Sant
(ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) July 13, 2006 -- In response to a study that has indicated the use of personal care products containing parabens may be harmful to a wearers health, manufacturer Bon Sant? Corp. has released a new line of paraben free, natural skin care and mineral makeup products utilizing organic and naturally derived ingredients. Parabens are a group of preservatives used in cosmetics to prevent bacterial and fungal growth in products, states the company, and they have come under scrutiny in recent years for a possible link to breast cancer in women and allergic reactions in some people.A 2004 study conducted by scientists in the United Kingdom outlines this possible breast cancer link.

Although there is currently no definitive evidence to the exact dangers of using parabens and other chemically derived additives in personal care products our company has decided to take a pro-active, pre-cautionary position and re-formulate all of our products, says Cindy Summers, President and CEO of Bon Sant?.Parabens have also been known to cause allergic reactions, including dermatitis.

The Merger of Medicine and Cosmetics
Beauty has been a sensitive issue for both men and women since ancient times. There cannot be a better example to this than Cleopatra who is supposed to have bathed in donkey's milk to keep her skin young and glowing always. Legends testify that Egyptians and Greeks adopted various beauty treatments using natural ingredients as well chemicals.
Today, you would be hearing the term, "Cosmocueticals" being used widely. Are you interested to know more about this term? Come, let us try to gather as much as we can regarding cosmocueticals.
You cannot expect anything better than what has happened-two strong concepts have come together as one-- researchers have combined beneficial aspects of both science and cosmetics and thrown open the gates of a whole new world called cosmocueticals.
Agreed that both these fields are distinctive identities in themselves; but, this merger is certainly a promising and prominent one, capable of solving many...

IRO Bariatric Medical Reviews - IRO Medical Review Criteria for Bariatric Surgery
Losing weight is the #1 New Year's resolution in America.
However, many people believe they are so overweight that bariatric surgery may be the only option.
And they may be right.
During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the U.S.
Currently, more than 44 million Americans are considered obese.
In 1995, just 20,000 weight-loss operations were performed. Last year, physicians performed 103,000 bariatric surgeries, with more than 144,000 bariatric surgeries projected in 2004.
For insurance companies, bariatric surgery numbers are alarming.
Bariatric surgeries average $30,000 each and sometimes more.
And now Medicare has changed obesity to be classified as an illness.
This change often results in gastric bypass surgery being classified as medically necessary and means health insurance companies may be expected to pay for claims that, in the past, would not have been covered.To ensure...

Unique Laser Treatment Gives Acne and Scarring a "One-Two Punch": SmoothbeamTM Offers Non-Ablative Approach to Reducing Acne Breakouts, Plumping Scars
New York, NY (ContentDesk) June 30, 2005 -- Four out of five adolescents and adults are affected by acne. Sometimes the condition is still active, or sometimes a former case of acne has left its indelible mark of scarring. In fact, acne is the most commonly diagnosed skin condition and the single most prevalent condition treated by dermatologists in the U.S. today. Yet, according to Joshua Fox, MD, founder of Advanced Dermatology PC, a novel laser treatment called SmoothbeamTM is providing new hope to those who suffer from acne, as well as those who are still scarred by it.
"The Smoothbeam laser is unique in that its single technology can accomplish two completely different objectives where acne is concerned," Dr. Fox explains. "First, it encourages the production of collagen beneath the skin, which plumps up the surface and smoothes out scarring. Second, it can actually shrink the follicles of the sebaceous glands, which are overactive in cases of acne. That reduces the amount...
