I know I shouldn't, especially because my brother had two melanoma removed this year, but I go tanning once every week or every other week. It feels so good, especially in the winter, to be in the cozy, warm bed and I like that I don't get so darn pale.

When I was younger, I wanted to die my hair black so I used a semi permanent color from the Drugstore. Since my hair was bleached blonde, it didn't last long and it turned a mold-green when it washed out. After a few days, a classmate took pity on me and took me to her dad's hair salon where he put red in to counteract the green and my hair was all better. It took a while to live that stunt down though.

CC's are irrelevant
Dear Di,
Botox is packaged as a 100 unit vial of freeze dried material, which has essentially no volume (cc's). We, the physicians, then add any volume (cc's) of saline solution (salt water) that we choose to add. This gives us a number of units per cc.
In general, there is a range of units required to treat an area of the face. The number of cc's used to treat an area will therefore depend on the amount of saline that was used to reconstitute the freeze dried product in order to inject the required amount of units to treat the area.

No quick fix but here are some tips
Stretch marks are a sign of ripping of the deep dermal tissues, often seen after childbirth, after weight gains or losses, or after certain therapies, such as steroids. Once you understand how the ripped dermal tissue resembles a burlap sack that has been pulled apart, it is then clear why no treatment will put those fibers back together. So aside from maybe making a bit more collagen in the area or causing temporary swelling, reducing the appearance of stretch marks, patients should not hope for too much with laser or radiofrequency treatments, or they will be disappointed.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Cream: Viagra For Women?
The promotion of vaginal cosmetic surgery procedures like labiaplasty has stoked street protests, with one activist calling it the medicalizing of women's sexuality that creates new risks, norms and insecurities.
This controversy has apparently had little sway of the entrepreneurial drive of a Santa Monica-based OBGYN who has backed a new nonsurgical alternative: a vaginal rejuvenation cream called Pk24.
