Abstract The last few years have shown an increased demand for non-invasive skin tightening to improve body contour. Since light (lasers or intense pulsed light sources) has a limited ability to penetrate deep into the tissue, radio frequency (RF) modalities were introduced for the reduction of lax skin to achieve skin tightening and body circumference reduction. This study presents the use of ...

Seagrasses are high plants sharing adaptive metabolic features with both terrestrial plants and marine algae, resulting in a phytocomplex possibly endowed with interesting biological properties. The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vitro activities on skin cells of an ethanolic extract obtained from the leaves of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, family Potamogetonaceae, herein named Posid...

P rotein has long been the favored macronutrient for athletes. The logic is simple: if you want big muscles and muscle is made of protein, then eating more protein equals more muscle. This simple rationale is more fiction than fact, but it is difficult to convince athletes that protein is not the most important nutrient for sports performance.

She was treated with a process called carboxytherapy that resulted in great improvement of the scars with minimal to no discomfort or down time. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) therapy was first introduced in France for cutaneous use.1 CO2 is a non-toxic gas that is naturally produced by cells as they undergo the process of metabolism. As CO2 accumulates in the tissues it induces dilatation of capillaries...
