What up girls, Happy New Year! Mascara Mondays are taking a backseat so that we can dish out the latest and greatest breakthroughs in skin care.
One of my favs is the Stem cell technology that has been on the fence for a while. According to Marie Claire, doctors are using stem-cell-rich back fat (harvested through liposuction) to plump faces and breasts. When injected into the face (in a procedure plastic surgeons are calling the "stem cell face-lift"), this particular fat lifts the cheeks, restores youthful contours, and smooths the skin, making pigmentation and pores less noticeable. When the stem cells are injected into the breasts, researchers claim they encourage natural fat growth, so the plumped-up areas end up feeling more natural, instead of like an implant.
I think we are all thinking the same thing 'saved! there is enough fat on my rear that I'll be looking 20 into my 80's' Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself. Who knows maybe they will find a good use for cellulite next.....
