An Anesthesiologist’s Solution To Bikini Waxing Pain

Who dreads a bikini wax?  Maybe I should ask who doesn’t dread a bikini wax!  I’m a true believer that if it’s done correctly by a seasoned pro, the pain is definitely minimized and it’s not as bad of an experience as it’s feared to be.  But it still hurts!  I’ve had my share of pain in the past and I’ve always wished for a better way–so I know I’m not alone in my sentiments.

You might be happy to hear about something that can make it easier to grin and bear it!

August 2010 Beauty Round-Up 'Must Haves'

The end stretch of summer is usually the worst of it with the hottest weather, and the cumulative effects of sun, chlorine, sea water and humidity of the East and South, or extreme dryness for the desert/Western states has done a number on everyone’s skin, hair and nails. 

This is the time of year to prepare for the coming seasonal changes in weather and change up your routines in grooming so you look gorgeous for fashion conscious fall.

Menstrual Cramps May Affect the Brain

In Study, Women With Painful Periods Had Abnormal Brain Changes

By Denise Mann

Aug. 11, 2010 -- Menstrual cramps may actually change the structure of women's brains, according to new research in the journal Pain.

Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) -- menstrual pain in otherwise healthy women -- affects between 20% to 90% of adolescent girls, researchers say. It is marked by cramps in the lower abdomen that start with menstruation and can last up to 72 hours.

Researchers led byJen-Chuen Hsieh, MD, PhD, of the Institute of Brain Science at the National Yang-Ming University in Taipei, Taiwan, used magnetic resonance imaging scans to look at the brains of 32 women with a history of menstrual pain and 32 women with no history of menstrual pain.
