Introducing Restylane Silk

GLADERMA INTRODUCES Restylane® Silk

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk

If you are looking to add a little more plump to your lip without looking like you have been stung by 1000 bees or hit by a baseball bat Restylane® Silk is now available!

Restylane® Silk provides natural-looking lip definition and smoothes wrinkles around the mouth

Restylane® Silk, the first and only dermal filler that is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for subtle lip enhancement and the treatment of wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Restylane Silk is a smooth hyaluronic gel that is designed to restore natural youthful definition and symmetry to the lip and mouth area.

As people age, fat and collagen in the face begin to deteriorate and bone loss may occur, leading to thinner skin and more noticeable lines and wrinkles. In the lower part of the face, this often results in lost lip volume and definition and an increase in lines around the mouth.

Look at these natural before and afters:

I believe that any cosmetic changes should be considered carefully. I strongly advise anyone thinking about any type of enhancement to go to a highly skilled and trained doctor. The lip zone is very complicated and you really need a doctor that has thoroughly trained in administering the only FDA approved lip filler Restylane® Silk

When learning about Restylane® Silk, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ellen Marmur.

Dr. Ellen Marmur is a leading dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. She is a recognized and admired expert in skin cancer diagnosis and surgery, Mohs surgery reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, and women’s health dermatology. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Marmur is an Associate Clinical Professor in both the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Genetics & Genomic Research at The Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Dr Ellen Marmur is a elegant as she is accomplished. She is living proof that good dermatology can provide you with the fountain of youth. Personally if I was considering any type of fillers I would be most comfortable with a doctor who embodies good taste and brilliance. I think we can all

Dr Ellen Marmur demonstrated with precision how natural Restylane® Silk can look when administered in a skilled way. Duck lips are definitely a no-no in Dr Marmur’s surgery. The volunteer patients looked really natural and were thrilled with the results!

“The perfect face comes down to mathematics!” stated Dr Marmur. If all specialized doctors adhered to this notion there would be a lot less excessive augmentation of lips!

“007” “Total Look” in the house

Imagine this. You just went through 10 months of beauty school learning the fundamentals of becoming a hairdresser. Now its time to showcase what you learned, with no help and be graded on it. Would your nerves be going crazy? Your stomach be all in knots? But yet still be extremely excited that your 10 months of hard work is coming to an end? That was the feeling I got from The Villages Salon Professional Academy’s class July 2014. Better known as class 1407 (or as I call them 007).

Total look

Total look

Starting at 11:45AM on Thursday March 12, 2015 class 1407, all decked out in their class color LIME GREEN, started doing their “total look” model makeovers. This includes everything from hair color, hair cut, hair style and makeup application. They have about 3 hours to complete their whole look before presenting it to friends, family and fellow alumni. So with those creative juices flowing, they headed on their way. I was privileged to come as a judge for the students work. I couldn’t make up my mind who I thought should win because I saw so many great transformations. They were that good. While one student was doing a color correction another was doing a two tone effect and another was doing an up do. AHHHH HELP!!! LOL so many creative minds were going at once but as you can see in my photos many talented hairdressers.

After the 3 hours was up they waltzed their models up on the catwalk and many of us asked questions such “What was their inspiration for their models makeover” etc. Then they received their awards. One for each: Best Overall, Most Creative, and Best Technical. I wish we could have given them all an award but as they go through this journey they will receive so many rewards that will stick with them their whole lives. I bet your wondering who won?!

Total Look

Well: Best Technical was Thersea Marie Vitali, Most Creative was Brittany Peeples and Best Overall was Alexis Cruz.

I enjoyed being back at TSPA and spending the day with the students. I want to thank TSPA staff and students as well as Janice Case for inviting me to come. Now you guys have the skills, and the education to go on and do many amazing things. With so many avenues to take in this industry you will find what it is you love and rock at it. Congratulations class 1407. YOU DID IT!!!!! Keep on rocking.

Students of class 1407 are:
Alexis Cruz, Brittany Peeples, Estafania Patino Salano, Cameron Balmer, Robert (Robbie) Coy, Manna McCloud, Liliana McDermott, Vanessa (Nessi Boo), Thersea Marie Vitali, Aimee Nicole, and Jack Reich

Toilet paper wedding dress contest

11th Annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest Presented by Cheap Chic Weddings and Charmin Rolls Out

(Boca Raton, FL) – March 12, 2015 If you can use toilet paper to make a beautiful wedding dress you just might win $10,000 and have your entry made into a real gown!

Everyone likes to save money here and there. And for some, saving money on weddings is more than a hobby, and a little less than an obsession. Laura Gawne and Susan Bain operate the popular website www.Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com.

The Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest presented by Cheap Chic Weddings and Charmin begins March 12, 2015 for the eleventh year in a row.

For the first time ever, Kleinfeld Bridal will create a wearable gown inspired by the Grand Prize Winner’s Entry! Contestants have until May 12, 2015 to submit their paper masterpieces. Top ten entries will be chosen then online voting will be open to the public.

The top ten dresses and their designers will be flown to New York City to participate in a live fashion show finale event at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City on June 17, 2015 where the top three winners will be chosen.

At the Finale Event, the dress entries will be judged by members of Cheap Chic Weddings, Charmin, Co-Owner of Kleinfeld, Mara Urshel and Celebrity Judge Mikie Russo, event planner and host of “Mikie Saves the Date” on FYI Network.

“The contest has grown immensely over the last ten years and we are always in awe of the beautiful gowns created by the contestants.” says Susan Bain, Co-Founder of Cheap Chic Weddings. “We specialize in making weddings chic on a budget but these designs often surpass even our imaginations.” added Laura Gawne, Co-Founder of Cheap Chic Weddings.

The Grand Prize winner will see their design created into a beautiful gown and receive $10,000, the second place winner will receive $5000 and the third place winner will receive $2500.

Here’s How to Enter:

First: Plan your design.

Second: Grab some Charmin Toilet Paper (Ultra Strong, Ultra Soft or Basic), tape and/or glue and/or needle and thread (that’s all you can use)! To help offset the cost of designing these memorable creations; Charmin is providing coupons by request at TPDresscontest@gmail.com

Third: Make the dress and headpiece on your model or mannequin and take some clear, unaltered digital photos (front, back and side). The dress must be able to be worn by a human!

All photos and an Official Entry form are to be submitted to Cheap Chic Weddings at TPDresscontest@gmail.com by May 12, 2015 at 11:00 PM EST. There is no entry fee. The Judging Panel at Cheap Chic Weddings will judge the digital photo entries.
