Red Carpet Ready for the Golden Globe Awards

Aly Walansky — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 02:37:45 +0000

This Sunday night, many of us will be glued to our television sets watching our favorite stars as they walk down the red carpet at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards. And you can bet we’ll be paying attention to what they’re wearing, who they’re with, and just how well they’re aging.
From choosing the best hair style, flawless makeup and finding the perfect outfit, celebrities carefully plan every aspect of their appearance before stepping in front of cameras. In the past, finding time
to schedule cosmetic touch ups with enough recovery time was a challenge. But now, the latest
non-invasive cosmetic techniques offer everyone “picture perfect” results in no time.

“These procedures, which are popular with celebrities who need big results in a short amount of time, are now accessible to everyone who wants to look fabulous for a special occasion,” said Kimberly Butterwick, M.D., member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS).

To be “camera ready” for an upcoming event, Dr. Butterwick recommends the following timeline:

One Month Before:
• Contour Thread lifts use non-absorbable thread under the skin’s surface to anchor and gently pull skin upward for an effective facelift without detectable scars. Recovery time depends on the area treated, but lifts done to the jaw line and cheeks regularly require a week of downtime, while other areas have two to three week recovery periods. Results vary and depend on the patient’s age as well as the skin’s elasticity. Generally, results last two to five years.

One Week Before:
• The Fraxel Laser procedure successfully treats non-facial areas to resurface small wrinkles, improve texture, tone and pore size, and rejuvenate skin in the neck, chest and hands area. There is no scarring and a brief recovery period of two to three days. Results can last for years.

Days Before: Fillers and Lasers
• Restylane is a dermal filler that adds volume and fullness around the face and to improve the look of wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes. Minimal swelling and bruising may occur, but patients are usually ready to be seen the next day.
• Sculptra is used to add volume and natural curves to the face in patients that have gaunt and sunken cheeks from fat loss either due to aging or illness. This procedure can be done in one office visit.
• Intense Pulsed Light is used to treat freckles, port wine stains, varicose and spider veins and flat birth marks on larger areas of the body such as the neck, chest, legs or forearms. There is virtually no downtime and results are very effective. Mild redness and swelling may occur around the treated area directly after a treatment but will subside in a few days.
• Photo Facial treatments are used on patients who suffer from irregular skin texture or skin discoloration due to the effects of red blood vessels and brown spots. Four to six treatments are recommended depending on the severity of the problem. A patient’s skin will be refreshed and glowing without any recovery time. Maintenance treatments are suggested once a year to keep skin in tip-top shape.

Event: Oscar de la Renta and BagSnob in Dallas

Christina Jones — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:35:10 +0000

I know I have a few fab Texans hanging around here, and now is one of those beneficial times to be hanging. My dear friend Tina Craig, over at BagSnob is hosting a lovely event THIS Thursday, at the Oscar boutique in the Northpark Center, this Thursday, March 27th, from 1-4 pm. Oscar de la Renta is sending his Fall 2008 bag collection to the boutique for an exclusive preview showing, and Tina is bringing champagne for this “Bags and Bubbly” event. How fun!

This is one of those times that I wish I hadn’t been traveling so much and could get my hiney 3 hours north. Will you go on my behalf and give Tina a big hug for me?

It is well worth noting that 5% of any bag sales made at this event will go to the Genesis Women’s Shelter in Dallas. Get yourself there if you can, it will be a great time, and will help an amazing cause. Read more about the event over at BagSnob.
