How Old Will You Look in the Future?

Posted on April 22, 2016 by:

The “aging suit” is the newest in virtual reality technology, which allows you to get the full simulation of the growing old effect. The suit is called Genworth R70i Aging Experience, was created by a 62-year-old man named Bran Ferran who is the former president of research and development for Disney. This division created all of the “magic” at the theme parks and studios.
This special suit has bolts and hinges at every joint to give the aging effect more of a real life experience. The suit itself looks like some sort of superhero costume while “the helmet simulates impaired vision, hearing loss, and cognitive deterioration,” (Lidz,2015). While giving you insights on what it is to be old, you may start to reflect on how you actually look as well.

Whether it is layers of makeup or extreme hair styles, women go to extreme lengths to better their appearance, no matter what the cost is. Prices tend to vary but getting a blowout hair cut can cost $40, a haircut can cost $125, and hair color can cost $215. Imagine paying this consistently throughout a lifetime with constant maintenance.
On the other side of the fence, the option for cosmetic surgery is available, which is long lasting and cost effective compared to most beauty enhancements such as makeup and other cosmetics.

Experts Are Finding New Ways to Fight Bacteria

Posted on March 4, 2016 by:

Doctors have been fighting bacteria with antibiotics for years and for the most part they have had great success. In recent years though, these diseases have been growing resistant to traditional medicine. In the 1940’s, Western doctors stopped using phage because of the advent of antibiotics.

Experts have turned to phages once again instead of modern medicine. If you don’t know, phage therapy comes in different shapes and sizes and is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages to treat pathogenic bacterial infections. To read more about this please visit this link. The White House last year stated that phage therapy will be one of the options when combating drug-resistant bacteria.
At Star Plastic Surgery, we are aware of all medical options on the market and currently we are not utilizing phages of any kind. However, we do take pride in keeping up with ever changing medical breakthroughs and the latest technology. Our board certified plastic surgeons want you to feel great about the way you look and strive to deliver safe and outstanding results.
