| American Academy of Dermatology: New Approach for Treating Aging Skin Combines Minimally Invasive Procedures
When people think of facelifts, images of aging Hollywood stars with their faces pulled as tight as their red carpet gowns might come to mind. In fact, patients considering cosmetic surgery may be concerned about the sometimes pulled, unnatural look that results from facelifts. Now, a growing trend among dermatologists is to combine minimally invasive procedures to tone, tighten and plump aging skin, creating a more natural, younger look with less risk and recovery time than a traditional surgical facelift. Speaking today at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologist Michael S. Kaminer, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., and Dartmouth University in Hanover, NH, discussed the benefits of some of the latest minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and how dermatologists determine what combination will work best for each individual patient.

Huge Facelift For JIA

"I'm watching time now to make sure I can gauge the security line to get through on time," says Holey.
Jacksonville International Airport says they have plans underway to better enhance the travelers' experience.
Plans are set to add six new shops and nine eating venues, three of them sit-down restaurants.
Jacksonville Aviation Authority Director Michael Stewart says this new project will give travelers more leisure on both sides of security, and hopefully cut out some of the hustle.
"As traffic increased, security lines became longer and your intent when you got to the airport is to get through security and do you're snacking, eating, relaxing, post security," says Stewart.
