Dermal Fillers: Benefits, Price, Risks, and More
While modern dermal fillers have been around for nearly two decades, they’ve seen a huge bump in popularity in the last few years. And it seems the stigma around facial enhancements like filler and Botox is steadily decreasing (it’s about time, TBH). While celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid have brought into the mainstream the use of filler to accentuate areas of their face, there are so many ways to use dermal fillers beyond just plumping up the lips and contouring the cheeks. It’s also important to know that not all dermal fillers are created equal — some are better suited for different parts of the body, which should…

FreeFall; A Band Long In The Making – Backseat Mafia
Potted History of the Band “We’ve been together as a band for three months, but our musical journey began long before that. All of us attended school together, and after fifteen years, we decided to form a band.” David (lead guitarist/vocalist) and Josh (drummer/vocalist) have been best mates since the age of 12, with Chris joining their close-knit group when he was 15.

How to Style Thin Hair and Best Products to Use
Just like our bodies come in different shapes and sizes, so does our hair — and each hair type needs special consideration. Whether your hair is naturally curly, wavy, or straight, there are also hair textures to keep in mind. Think: fine, thin, coarse, and so on. Here, we’re addressing those with thin hair. First off, know that although fine and thin are often used interchangeably, if we’re going to get technical, thin hair means you have less density (or amount) of hair per square inch. Fine hair refers to the actual narrowness in diameter of the hair strand — but you could still have tons of hair on your…

I Got a Laser Treatment For Broken Capillaries: See Photos
Does PDL Hurt? I have a pretty high pain tolerance and have subjected my skin to many a non-surgical procedure (ablative lasers, dermal fillers, Botox, and the like), and to me this laser is not painful. When going in for PDL, you likely won’t need to get numbed — each zap of the laser feels like a little snap of a rubber band. The most annoying part of the process, in my opinion, is the cold burst of air that the machine spurts out to offset the heat from the laser. I wouldn’t say the whole thing is particularly painful — rather it takes you by surprise every time it…
