Dermatologists have discovered yet another unexpected use for Botox injections besides reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles -- it's now an effective way to control excessive sweating. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which an individual suffers from excessive, unpredictable sweats -- which can result in embarrassing situations, to say the least. And studies have shown that approximately one in five Americans has hyperhidrosis. According to a July 8 AZFamily.com article, a simple procedure involving Botox injections to the underarms, palms, feet or other affected areas can help control excess sweating for as long as five to nine months -- perfect for the sweltering summer months where it can feel like all you do is sweat.

Earlier this year, jewelry-maker Lorraine Schwartz -- also known as the "jeweler to the stars" -- was more than a little upset after her $250,000 ring went missing at the Golden Globes. Schwartz had been wearing the ring, which sported a 10.62 carat yellow diamond, and said that it was possible the ring had either been stolen off her finger or had dropped off during the ceremony. Schwartz has designed engagement rings for well-known celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively and Beyonce. As it turned out, the ring had not originally been stolen. Instead, it ended up on the red carpet, where carpet cleaner Henry Bernal found it later that night. Bernal and his girlfriend, Christina Gonzales, decided to take the ring to Kevin Jewelers. The store made an offer, at which point Be...

We all know that the sun does damage to our skin, but our eyes are not immune to the same harsh rays that make us slather ourselves in sunscreen every few hours. We take precautions to protect our skin from UV rays, but we don't always do the same for our eyes -- and we should. According to The Las Vegas Review Journal, damage to the eyes from the sun can accumulate for years before it starts making itself known through symptoms and vision loss. There are a number of ailments and maladies that we put ourselves at risk for by not protecting our eyes, according to Las Vegas optometrist Dr. Mark Lee. An obvious one is sunburn of the eye, which is referred to as photokeratitis. Unprotected eyes are also at risk for pterygium, which is a non cancerous growth on the membrane that covers the s...

Brazilian supermodel Barbara Fialho's secret to great hair? Velaterapia--a procedure that burns off split ends with an open flame. "If I did [straightening treatments] I would lose all my hair!" Flalho explained. "They’re very strong." She's not the only one in on the secret, either. Flalho's fellow supermodels Isabeli Fontana and Alessandra Ambrosio are big fans, too. Internationally, cities like Dubai and countries like Brazil are no stranger to the weird hair technique, either. According to Sao Paolo's Laces and Hair Salon, which offers velaterapia, the three hour procedure not only gets rid of split ends, but also creates a passageway for nutrients to enter the hair. It can also eliminate the impermeability caused by brushing and other chemical treatments, which makes it easie...

When most people hear the word "Botox," they immediately think of women receiving injections in order to smooth out wrinkles. While this is certainly one use of Botox, it isn't the only one. According to Four States Home Page, Botox is increasingly popular among men as well, comprising approximately 10% of patients. "Men in their 30's to 40's are most likely to indulge in the anti-aging fad," the article explains. They also cite several well known celebrity Botoxers, such as Simon Cowell, who have helped to de-stigmatize the idea of Botox for men. About 360,000 men in the U.S. get Botox injections to minimize wrinkles each year, and this number is consistently growing. Since 2011, the number of men opting for Botox has tripled, even with the average treatment costing around $400. Some p...
