Scarlett Johansson poll, plus no-needle rival for Botox

December 12, 2007

News and info about celebrities is on the Celebrities and Cosmetic Medicine page. That includes a reader survey on Scarlett Johansson vs. US Weekly over its suggestion that she had plastic surgery.

Here’s the latest on my Web pages on cosmetic medicine:

  • A potential rival to Botox wouldn’t need to be injected. Medicis pays $20 million to get into that game.
  • Signs of a slowdown in breast implants because of economic weakness.
  • LipDissolve centers shut down nationwide, except in Costa Mesa.
  • New 5-year study of ArteFill long-lasting dermal filler.
  • FDA approval of Fraxel re:pair laser treatments.
  • Dangers of overstating how well lasers work as skin treatments.
  • How improvements in cosmetic medicine have helped change people’s expectations of what they’ll look like as they age. (Bye-bye, Granny.)
