That is what Xenna Corporation said after announcing the launch of its new curl relaxer, Curlaway

At Xenna Corporation say:

Curlaway takes about 20 applications to straighten virgin curly hair, and an average of 5 applications to relax permed or wavy hair.

Xenna corporation announced it is going to distribute Curlaway nationally to beauty supply stores. The brand’s introduction will feature 6-unit displays. The product’s MSRP is $19.99, for a 6 oz jar - 6 to 8 applications. source

According to a survey conducted by American Society of Plastic Surgeons, increasingly people prefer minimally invasive facial procedures - such as laser treatments, to face-lifts.
 

Doctors performed 108,955 face-lifts last year, but they did a whopping 3.8 million Botox treatments and 1 million chemical peels.

Botox is both easier and cheaper than a face-lift, but is not a permanent fix, so it has to be repeated every three to four months, whereas a face-lift lasts a decade.

The top five cosmetic surgical procedures in 2005 were: liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, and tummy tucks.

A new skin care technology utilizing the power of infrared light and liquid minerals enhances skin elasticity to the décolleté area.

LED Light Therapy, introduced by Dorit Baxter Day Spa in New York City, in just 30 minutes treatment, activates cellular repair in the décolleté area, making the skin, tighter and revived.

The décolleté area consists of some of the thinnest and most delicate skin on a woman’s body. Lack of a proper skin care routine and sun overexposure on the neck and décolleté area result in wrinkles and a lack of elasticity. Such premature aging is further accelerated by a lack of moisturizing to the décolleté area.

Baxter says:
“Women tend to overlook the décolleté area of their body. This cutting edge treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which in turn plumps up and firms the skin.” ( Source: PRweb )

30 minutes and $95 - this is the cost of the treatment, would not be so much to enjoy the spring and summer fashions of showing bare skin.
