Testosterone Replacement Therapy: A Real Patient Experience

Evolve vs. CoolSculpting: Which Non-Surgical Body Contouring Comes Out on Top?

Evolve for non-surgical body sculpting is attracting lots of interest, and with fame comes comparison with other popular options—especially CoolSculpting.

Can Working Out With Your Friends Reduce Stress? Research Says Yes.

We’re all for busting stress and having fun, so these statistics piqued our interest.

Heard All the Buzz About the BOTOX Lip Flip? Here’s What it Can and Can’t Do.

You have probably heard about the lip flip, a specialized injection of the popular toxin that gives the upper lip a little extra zhuzh.
