  Posted in Cosmetic Services on September 26, 2011

  This is something that a patient of mine (in her 50s) just mailed me ... too nice not to share:

   

  Hi,

  So I had a bridal shower here on Saturday afternoon for 40 people! Yikes!

  That night, I went out with the young bride and her friends for the bachelorette party (yes, scary).  I was blatantly hit on by a (very cute) 26-year-old guy.  All of the ladies noticed. ;-)  I thought maybe he was humoring the old lady, but I think he was serious.  Not sure if you want this as a

  If you're looking into trimming away fat there is a lot of marketing for various procedures out there. Today I will look into the science behind Zerona and will try to explain it in lay language.
