In Today's Virtual Business World, Your Face is More Important Than a Power Suit

Published in the March 2022 Feather Sound News by Cynthia Elliott MD

In the world BC (before Covid), people inferred leadership ability or authority from contextual factors like the style, quality & fit of clothing worn. An expensive, tailored suit could cause a rookie to temporarily be mistaken for a high-level executive.

Now, after two years of videoconferencing, the game of how to succeed in business has changed. We have only the attributes of the face & upper body on which to base our assumptions about not only attractiveness, but also personality traits. Unlike in-person meetings, with videoconferencing we're seeing our own face as others see us, which can be both a shock & a wakeup call.

Research has shown that attractive employees in many occupations earn 10 - 15% more than their less attractive co-workers, but until recently, little was known about the role of physical attraction at the executive level.

The Best Treatments For Cellulite and/or Loose Skin

Some treatments improve the appearance of both

Skin that has a "cottage cheese" appearance with visible hills & valleys isn't always cellulite.

Aging skin that has lost elasticity can have the same orange peel appearance as cellulite and can also coexist with cellulite. Treatments to obtain smoother texture can differ depending on whether the skin irregularities are due to one or the other.

Cellulite is the term for lumpy, dimpled skin found mostly on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomens of women, although it occasionally occurs in men.

In cellulite, stiff fibrous bands connect the surface of the skin down to deeper tissues. When standing or squeezing the area, the bands pull the skin inwards, producing dimples & the surrounding fat is pushed outwards, producing bulges.

Aging skin loses the elasticity it had when it was young that allowed it to snap back to its original shape after stretching. It therefore hangs loosely and sags.

If you want to know if your skin irregularities are from loose skin or cellulite, try gently lifting the skin above the area in question. If the dimpling disappears & the skin looks smooth, then it isn't cellulite.

If the dimpling or divots remain, then cellulite is the culprit.

Treatment options that can improve both cellulite & loose skin include any treatments that will thicken & firm the overlying skin, especially:

Injectable collagen stimulants like hyper-diluted Radiesse, Sculptra, & Renuva
Profractional laser
Absorbable threads

For dimples that are not improved by skin traction as described above, Qwo injections can dissolve the bands that are causing the dimples.

Amy Schumer's Viral CoolSculpting Video Explained

BY KF/UPDATED: APRIL 22, 2021 2:45 PM

Hollywood beauty standards are no joke and the rich and famous are always trying new ways to keep up. But not Amy Schumer, of course. Well, actually, that's not entirely true. On April 20, 2021, the comedian and mother-of-one posted a video on Instagram, super close up on her face, claiming that she "is blessed with sort of" how she looks, and isn't one of those celebs who "gets stuff done," referencing the plastic surgery and skin treatments that many stars reportedly undergo to look and feel their very best. "No judgement to the women who do," she added.

She's obviously being sarcastic, as she pans down mid-video to show that she is hooked up to a rather complicated looking contraption, with her head in a brace and a CoolMini device attached to her chin. Schumer jokes, "This is not what you think — this is just how I like to rest my head because it feels good. This is the only way I can really relax and it's not because I'm getting a, you know, my double chin addressed in a way."

Celebs obviously caught the joke, with former "Vanderpump Rules" star Stassi Schroeder commenting on the video, "Okay but real talk, I'm gonna need a follow up video." Taryn Manning, Josh Charles, and Lisa Rinna also LOL'd at Schumer's snark. But what exactly is that thing? Nicki Swift asked an expert to weigh in on the "CoolSculpting" process.
