Women will do anything to look young, revealed a recent study. Just what is this obsession with youth and how should we go about to ensure we look younger than we feel? Research shows that there are in fact two distinct types of aging, intrinsic and extrinsic aging.

Is Filler Fusion The Latest Underground Treatment?

Lisa WilliamsLeave a comment

BY LISA WILLIAMS Many people have talked about getting fillers done, some with better results than others. Recently, I came across a new take on an old procedure called “Filler Fusion”.
