Chin Fat
Many of you would have seen the piece that aired on ACA last night about a new treatment for “Chin Fat”. For those of you that have not it is archived here This is a “new” treatment called Kybella.

ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN?
Recent research says that the answer to this question is an unequivocal “yes”. More than one recent piece of research has highlighted the fact that anti-wrinkle injections actually make people feel better – and not just because they often increase self-esteem and self-image. Interestingly, the reason for this was first suggested by Charles Darwin many, many years ago. He suggested
