from 9 News
Over the years, local real estate agent Sara Kreuttz watched the pounds creep on.

Scientists Weld Skin Using Laser Energy
from Plastic Surgery Practice
A team of applied physicists at Tel Aviv University have developed an efficient and safe way of using laser energy to close incisions in the skin that they say could also be used on cuts inside the body. They also say skin and internal tissue to heal more quickly after operations and accidents. The team was led by Prof. Abraham Katzir, who found a way to maintain laser temperature so that the incision is sealed to minimize the risk of infection and scars and speed healing.

from Telegraph
When Andrew Pierce interviewed Dave Clark, from the legendary 1960’s pop band the Dave Clark Five, it was hard to avert my eyes from his remarkably taut face. Clark, who has re-released the band’s greatest hits, insisted that he had not succumbed to the plastic surgeon’s knife. Now, who is Pierce to contradict a musician whose band briefly rivalled the Beatles in popularity at the height of their fame in the swinging sixties? But the truth is, more and more men are indulging themselves with less drastic anti-aging treatments. More
