Alan Bienstock, MD, started his private plastic surgery in reconstructive surgery practice in Lawrenceville, New Jersey and Manhattan, New York in 2005.

Here is Dr Alan Bienstock about Lip Suspension and Augmentation:
When a woman ages, gravity lengthens the distance between the nose and the lips. This leads to a diminished pout and less prominent cupid’s bow in conjunction with thinner and narrower lips. Lip suspension , performed with or without fat grafting, provides a round, full convex shape to the cupid’s bow of the upper lip. This provides long lasting results unlike the soft tissue fillers.

CHANEL Unveils New Counter Concept at Saks Fifth Avenue NYC

CHANEL unveils two new retail environments at Saks Fifth Avenue’s New York Flagship store. The newly renovated Fragrance and Beauté counter will offer consumers an exclusive environment to experience the world of CHANEL in an innovative way. CHANEL Ready to Wear will be available in the newly designed third floor boutique along with an expanded Accessories area on the first floor.

Inspired by the codes of the House of CHANEL, the contemporary 850 sq. foot counter draws clients into the world of CHANEL with dedicated areas for fragrance, makeup and skincare. The fragrance area invites customers into the world of CHANEL fragrance heritage with the debut of the patented Olfactive Bar designed by CHANEL deputy perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. Utilizing a new patented ceramic blotter system, the table houses the 43 fragrance concentrates encompassing the entire range of CHANEL perfumery. An on-site fragrance expert will offer clients an interactive olfactive journey through the house’s extensive fragrance offerings. An illuminated manuscript, the pages of which turn via a motion detecting sensor, will showcase the history of CHANEL fragrance, from historical images of Coco Chanel to the house’s renowned master perfumers.

The location will also debut the Les Exclusifs de CHANEL fragrance collection, including a global exclusive for BEIGE, the latest addition to collection of exclusive fragrances. BEIGE, a sensual outburst of hawthorn, freesia and frangipani, along with shimmering hints of honey, was interpreted by CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge. Additionally, the rare 225 ml, 450 ml and 900 ml bottles of the iconic Nº5 parfums will also be available, previously only obtainable by special order

“We are proud to partner with Saks Fifth Avenue to showcase our rich fragrance heritage, modernity in makeup and expertise in skincare,” says Christine Dagousset, executive vice president, CHANEL Fragrance & Beauté. “The luxurious space offers customers an exclusive, intimate and interactive environment to experience the world of CHANEL Fragrance & Beauté.”

PCA Skin Introduces Brightening Therapy With TrueTone

December 2008, PCA Skin will launch brightening therapy with TrueTone, the universal remedy for hyperpigmentation. This innovative combination of natural and bioengineered brighteners is clinically proven to reduce all types of skin discoloration. It offers dramatic reduction and prevention of hyperpigmentation for all sensitivity levels.

One major cause of dark patches in the skin is inflammation. Traditional treatment options for hyperpigmentation are typically irritating, therefore only appropriate for those with more resilient skin. Use of these traditional treatments can lead to an increase in discoloration rather than a clear complexion in sensitive and ethnic skin.

PCA Skin’s proprietary blend ‘TrueTone’ combines clinically proven ingredients that not only inhibit the production of tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for initiating the pigment response), but also act as powerful antioxidants. This is important as skin being treated with tyrosinase inhibitors is more susceptible to free radical damage. Daily use of a moisturizer with SPF is a critical part of every skin care regimen, especially those designed for pigment control.

La Mer Introduces The Hydrating Infusion

La Mer introduces The Hydrating Infusion which will be Available in September at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and www.lamer.com.

Over forty years ago, aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber envisioned harnessing the energy of the sea to create a miracle. Today, looking to the sea as a source of life and inspiration, The Max Huber Research Labs have created a next-generation infusion – The Hydrating Infusion. With nourishing vitamins and essential minerals, this high-potency treatment pre-wets the skin to receive and maximize the transformational benefits of Crème de la Mer.

A cascade of hydration saturates the skin as The Hydrating Infusion’s serum-like texture transforms into a watery fluid upon application. An interactive gel network suspends the vital ingredients in the formula and releases them on demand. Activated by the skin’s pH and temperature, this smart gel responds by giving the skin the hydration and nutrients that it needs.

“We discovered that if the skin is too dry, the moisture barrier becomes over-taxed, creating a parched condition that makes it even more difficult for skin to absorb the hydration that it needs,” says Loretta Miraglia, Senior Vice President, Product Development and Innovation, The Max Huber Research Labs. “Like a pre-dampening a sponge, The Hydrating Infusion gives the skin an initial burst of hydration in a form that it can readily absorb, preparing it to fully receive the benefits of the Moisturizing Crème. By doing so, it helps skin to maintain optimum moisture levels and regain a healthy center.”
