Hello anonymous777-ga,
Thank you for your question. This is a fairly wide topic, and I tried
my best to include all relevant areas, ranging from surgery through
creams to nutrition, and addressing different aspects of "beauty" such
as face, skin, body sculpting, cellulite, body hair, veins, breast
enhancement, and etc.
Here are the results of my research :

cellulite reduction, breast lifting, body shaping ... all with
beautytek

beautytek ... the next generation in health and beauty
http://www.londonaesthetics.co.uk/q_a_main.html
[begin excerpt]
Q What is beautytek?
A beautytek is a non-invasive body sculpting technique that combines
state of the art technology and traditional Chinese theories of
wellbeing. It offers a safe and pain-free alternative to surgical body
shaping procedures.
Q What can I expect during a treatment?
A You will attend an initial consultation, during which your therapist
will examine the area you wish to have treated to determine the best
treatment. Before your first treatment, the therapist will take a
series of digital photographs of the area being treated and these
photographs, together with photographs
halfway through your treatment and after your final treatment, will be
used to determine how successful the treatment has been. During a
treatment, the area being treated will be covered in a specially
formulated electrolyte gel and a hand held wand will be applied to
your skin to perform the movements in the treatment.
Q How soon will I see results?
A Whilst results can be seen after a single session, in particular for
breast lift, a series of six or twelve treatments will typically show
dramatic results in fat and cellulite reduction.
Q How long do the results last?
A In terms of fat reduction, the effects are as permanent as any
method of reducing fat. Provided a sensible diet and exercise plan is
followed, the treatment effects are permanent. In terms of breast
lifting, studies have shown the effects of a course of treatments
without any maintenance sessions can last anything between three
months to a year.

Facial Surgery for Beauty
http://www.facialsurgeryforbeauty.com/advancements.html
[begin excerpt]
Skin ages in a variety of ways depending on genetic background and
lifestyle. For example, early signs of sun damage can start to become
visible by the age of 30. Overexposure to the sun can cause light skin
to wrinkle, while darker skin may show increased pigmentation.
Now there is a way to rejuvenate your face with a procedure that is
gentle on the skin. The erbium skin resurfacing laser can make skin
look smoother and younger by removing facial wrinkles, especially tiny
lines that form around the eyes and mouth. The new laser can also
soften scars and erase pigmentation from sun exposure.
Recent advances in laser technology have changed the way physicians
treat the aging face. Laser skin resurfacing has become part of the
standard of care for smoothing deep wrinkles and lines. Now, the
erbium laser has emerged with a gentler treatment for those looking to
restore a fresh, youthful glow to their face or smooth the texture of
the skin.
The erbium uses a beam of infrared light which is readily absorbed by
the water within the skin with minimal scattering. That means a very
thin layer of skin can be removed with each pass of the laser without
damaging nearby skin.
Skin refreshing with the erbium laser is a simpler procedure which can
be performed in our office and often requires only topical anesthesia.
Patients heal faster than with traditional laser treatments. The usual
redness that accompanies laser skin resurfacing is greatly reduced and
disappears within a matter of days rather than months.
Many patients return to normal activities within a week with excellent
cosmetic results. The erbium laser provides safe and precise removal
of the outer layers of skin allowing the treated area to look more
refreshed, natural and smooth in a very short time.

Innovations In Cosmetic Surgery: Human Derived Collagen and Fast
Healing Lasers
http://www.nyee.edu/page_deliv.html?page_no=150&origin=267
[begin excerpt]
For the first time ever, patients can be treated for facial wrinkles,
furrows and other skin defects, such as acne scars, using collagen
derived from their own skin, according to Arthur Millman, M.D., a
facial and oculoplastic surgeon at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.
Dr. Millman, who has treated 120 patients using the breakthrough
technique, and who is part of an 18 month national trial, says, "We
are seeing exciting preliminary results using human-based dermal
implants. The treatment appears to be safe, easy to perform, effective
and it lasts longer than standard collagen treatments, such as bovine
injectable fillers, which are degraded easily by the body."
The treatment is being used for patients who are seeking facial
cosmetic and reconstructive treatments for depressed scars (caused by
trauma, surgery, or acne blemishes) and for a variety of types of
wrinkles including those along the side of the nose, above the lips,
along the top of the lip, between the eyebrows, crowsfeet and at the
corners of the mouth.
To produce the new collagen, a small amount of the patient's skin is
excised -- either during a cosmetic surgery operation or specifically
for this purpose alone -- and through a special process turned into a
collagen-rich solution which is then injected back into the depressed
dermal areas of the same individual.
Self derived collagen is not a replacement for laser skin-resurfacing,
which is used for deeper wrinkles and furrows. The new collagen
process typically requires three treatments, with appearance improving
progressively after each treatment.

Juvederm : Looking younger by correcting wrinkles and puffing lips
http://www.juvederm.com/juvederm.htm
[begin excerpt]
Over recent years, hyaluronic acid has emerged as the miracle compound
for filling in wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is a physiological constituent of dermal tissue which
maintains local moisture content and is gradually reabsorbed with
time. Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid in the form of viscoelastic gel,
which is transparent and homo-geneous and which has four major
benefits :
It is obtained by biosynthesis and is of non-animal origin
It does not require any prior test
The molecule is highly biocompatible..
Juvederm is obtained by bacterial fermentation and is part of the new
generation of implants, while at the same time enjoying the experience
of the Corneal group, in the synthesis of cross-linked hyaluronic
acid.
Presentation
Juvederm is presented in the form of a pre-filled syringe, containing
a viscoelastic, transparent hyaluronic acid gel.
Juvederm is available in three different concentrations, their use
depending on the nature of the depression, needed to be corrected.
Concentrations
Juvederm 18
When injected into the superficial dermis, the fluid version, Juvederm
18, fills fine wrinkles such as crow's feet or peri-oral wrinkles.
Juvederm 24
When injected into the middle dermis, the dense version, Juvederm 24,
effectively fills forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, obvious mild to
moderate nasal furrows and cheek wrinkles.
Juvederm 30
When injected into the deep dermis, the densest version, Juvéderm 30,
fills deep naso-genian folds, returns volume to your lips, sculptures
your cheeks and gives your face, its natural oval shape again. Treated
areas should be gently massaged immediately after injection in order
to check that the product is evenly distributed. A follow-up procedure
a few weeks after the initial treatment is recommended to optimize the
outcome.

Cellassist : anti cellulite Reducing those dreaded 'dimples'
http://www.betterbody.co.uk/cellulite.html
"The exciting CellAssist formulation has been tested on hundreds of
women suffering from cellulite & found to work better than other
herbal remedies on the market. CellAssist works because apart from a
detoxifying blend of natural herbs, it also contains CLA (conjugated
linoleic acid), which has been shown to reduce the thickness of fatty
tissue. Cellulite is really a thick layer of fat cells that are
clumped together due to a build up of toxins in the area. The herbs
flush out the toxins & CLA promotes the break up of the fat layer to
form leaner, firmer tissue. Recently developed CellAssist was tested,
in body-conscious Beverly Hills, by top plastic surgeon to the stars,
Dr Laurence Birnbaum. Patients using this formula over a two-month
period had fantastic results - 5 times better than the women who were
given a popular Italian anti-cellulite pill"

post-operative scarring) is applied directly to the skin. It has been
found this wonder formula whilst working on existing thread veins also
helps them from spreading again, solving your problem once and for
all. VeinClear has been found to have a remarkable affect on the
network of tiny blood vessels that flare up just beneath the surface
of the skin. By applying it to problem areas just twice a day, you
should see results within 4-8 weeks, watching the embarrassing spider
/ thread veins and broken capillaries begin to fade and then
disappear. With its simple hygienic rollette application, VeinClear
can be applied anywhere on the body and is safe to use on the face"

treated like varicose veins, but the thermo-coagulation of veinwave is
a complete solution, totally safe - which will make them disappear
forever.
Equipped with a magnifying loop, the practitioner introduces a very
fine needle into the vein and it disappears instantaneously. There is
no bandaging.
Veinwave can be applied to any kind of skin complexion because it
doesn't cause loss of pigmentation. It treats red spots and all spider
veins either on the legs, the feet as well as troublesome facial red
veins. Veinwave can be used equally well on men.
The sterile needle, for single use, is covered with an insulating
sheath which protects the skin, enabling a targeted action without any
side effects

G Form TM - Weight Loss Technology
http://www.medinnovations.com/trolleyed/html_templates/bluesandpurples/gaiaformdetail.htm
[begin excerpt]
G Form ™
Electrolipolysis combined with lymph drainage is a completely new way
to remove unwanted fat. The fat is removed from the areas you want
without effort or discomfort. The amount of fat reduction varies
depending on your build, but many people may reduce by al least one
whole size after the first treatment.
Electrolipolysis using self-adhesive electrodes
Unwanted fat and cellulite in difficult areas such as the stomach,
bottom, thighs, hips and upper arms, are a big problem for many
customers. Using G Form ™ you can offer pain-free slimming with
self-adhesive electrodes without muscle contractors of other
discomfort. The electro-stimulation goes on inside the actual fat
cells where triglycerides are changed to free fatty acid so that they
can be excreted in tissue fluid and further transported to the lymph
vessels. Fat which is removed stays away for good. It is quite usual
for customers to reduce by at least one whole size after the first
treatment.
The apparatus has built in lymph drainage
G Form's new lymph drainage technique makes it possible to drain fluid
accumulations in the lymph system without using manual treatment.
Lymph drainage is very necessary to the electrolipolysis treatment,
for getting rid of the free fatty acids. There are also many people
who have problems with the accumulation of fluids in their calves,
thighs and arms (oedema) and need lymph drainage. Many overweight
people also have poorly functioning lymphatic systems. G Form ™ solves
the problem of lymph drainage using self-affixing electrodes without
pain or discomfort.

Product Line > Slender Body > Firm Up
http://usa.neways.com/products/slenderbody/pg-firmup.htm
" Description
Most body firming products on the market today work by tightening the
skin with coating agents. Albumin, for example forms a film over the
skin to make it appear less wrinkled. This method of improving
appearance may seem to work initially, but can result in long term
damage. The effect of such products in tightening skin is only
temporary, and the skin soon returns to its previous state. Over time
the unnatural process of contracting and expanding the skin may cause
it to sag even more.
Firm Up is a sophisticated compound that includes Fenugreek, Hops,
Horsetail, and Ginseng -all botanicals that may help with tightening
the skin. Firm Up may give a toned appearance to sagging skin on the
underarms, neck, bust, legs, buttocks, and 'bags" under the eyes. "

S Cream
" Description
Cellulite, the accumulation of fatty deposits beneath the skin's
surface, is one of the most difficult types of fat to lose. Cellulite
is not ordinary fat that can be metabolized by regular exercise. In
areas where cellulite develops, fat is stored but not released due to
the poor blood circulation near the surface of the skin. Most
cellulite creams fail to eliminate cellulite and only appear to be
effective by using ingredients with a diuretic action. This approach
forces water out of the body to give the appearance of weight loss.
The body, however, quickly replaces water lost through dehydration.
When massaged into the skin, S Cream works effectively to improve the
appearance of dimpled, irregular skin. This product must be massaged
into the skin thoroughly in order for it to work properly. Using Bio
Mist will help S Cream to work more effectively. Special ingredients
assist in the body's effort to release fat from the cells.
Vasodilators, which dilate the blood vessels, may enhance circulation
to support the body's fight against cellulite. S Cream may assist the
release of fatty deposits beneath the skin by utilizing Sodium Lactate
Methylsilanol, a fabulous skin-conditioning agent. "

Women everywhere dread the word "cellulite". Cellulite is more than an
unsightly skin irregularity. The appearance of it can indicate that

within chambers found in the connective tissue. Here the circulation
is often poor allowing fats and fluids to accumulate. Once these
chambers are filled, cellulite is born.
The ingredients contained within Neways revolutionary Cell Pill assist
the body's fight against the appalling cellulite that troubles so many
people. These herbs and nutrients have been formulated to provide the
body with a system, along with adequate exercise, and a proper diet to

COSSMA Well-being in personal care - in-cosmetics 2003 Exhibition 1
Apr 2003 - 3 Apr 2003
http://www.in-cosmetics.co.uk/page.cfm/Link=43
[begin excerpt]
Beauty is no longer skin deep; the concept of beauty is widening out
to cover not only appearance, but also mental well-being and physical
health. Imogen Matthews, consultant to IN-COSMETICS, the leading
exhibition and conference for the cosmetics, toiletries and personal
care industry, finds out more about the recent well-being trend which
is impacting on all areas of the market.
It seems that most consumer markets are latching onto the concept of
well-being, and none more so than cosmetics and toiletries. In
Datamonitor's* recent report entitled Future Innovations in Personal
Care, changing lifestyles and consumer attitudes are said to be
expanding the concept of beauty to include emotional considerations,
creating new product opportunities for manufacturers and service
providers and driving the growth of alternative treatments such as
aromatherapy.
Rhod Jones of Datamonitor comments: "Beauty isn't just topical any
more but comes from within. Consumers are starting to appreciate the
link with health and diet and the retailers are picking up on this
trend." He cites the example of The Body Shop which has moved to more
of a "total well-being" positioning. The Body Shop launched a
therapeutic range called Ayurveda in 2000 and claimed to be the first
major retailer to make the Ayurveda concept accessible to the mass
market. Not only does the range include personal care products but
also herbal teas and nutritional supplements which is an expansion of
its product portfolio towards a wider well-being platform.
Jones maintains that the German market is the most established in
terms of the well-being trend. He says: "There are many natural and
herbal remedies which can be prescribed, and St John's Wort outsells
prozac in Germany. But because the term well-being has become so
widespread, there is a danger that it is being overused and devalued.
In particular, aromatheraphy is a word that many companies are eager
to push."
[end excerpt]
[begin excerpt]
Another emerging trend which fits into the well-being theme is the
addition of "beauty pills" to skincare ranges. French skincare company
RoC has recently launched a multi-vitamin pill line called Chronoblock
Preventional Nutritional Supplements, formulated to help delay the
onset of skin ageing. The idea is that people take a more holistic
approach in caring for their skin -what is put in is as important as
what is put on.
"People are now used to taking vitamin supplements and are starting to
take on board the idea of treating the outside as well as the inside,"
maintains Jones. "However, they may need some persuasion to take pills
marketed by a brand known for its skincare. One way round the problem
is to say that the beauty supplements are 'natural'".
A final point on well-being is the growing trend of "cross-over"
between the food/beverage and non food markets. Jago comments: "This
is evident in Japan, in particular, where there are a number of
'beauty' beverages which fall within the broad definition of
functional foods. These typically contain combinations of vitamins and
minerals with other ingredients including green tea, aloe, royal jelly
and collagen. An excellent example is Hi Line from Yakult, a
peach-flavoured drink targeted at health and beauty conscious women.
In France, the Contrex packaged water brand was last year extended to
include Contrex Beauté, a mineral water based drink with orange,
guava, carrot, wheatgerm and anti-oxidants."
