Dr. Bruce Katz, a leading dermatologist from the United States has spent the last two years researching a revolutionary treatment for cellulite. Cellulite has been a big worry for both women and doctors for quite sometime now. Cellulite treatments are offered at cosmetic clinics as well as centers offering services like laser hair removal. But these treatments only alter the surface appearance of the cellulite. They do not eliminate it from within. Moreover, these treatments need to be performed several times and the results are short term.

The new treatment developed by Dr. Katz makes use of laser to break down the cellulite from beneath the skin’s surface,e and attacks the fat cells and fibrous septae that are the primary causes of cellulite. The laser smoothens out the fat cells and also thickens and tightens the skin by heating dermal tissues. It is minimally invasive and entails just one small incision, which can be covered by a band aid.

Another advantage of the new treatment is that it involves minimal maintenance. The patient can go back to work soon after the treatment. Dr. Katz is confident that the treatment will change doctor’s approach towards treating cellulite. It is predicted to become as popular as laser hair removal and other laser procedures in the near future.

Well known Australian fashion designer Linda Jackson is displaying her Bush Couture line at NGV (National Gallery of Victoria). Pieces from the collection created back in the 80’s and 90’s, which went on show this week, are quintessentially Linda. This means a fusion of high-end fashion and Aussie native landscape.

Linda, who has travelled the Australian outback extensively, has incorporated the lush colours of the natural bushland, flora and fauna. The designs are an infusion of shapes and colours inspired by the sky and mountains. Every piece in the Bush Couture collection is stunning, the intricate design and meticulous attention to detail evident to observers. Linda, through her collection, also hopes to spread an eco-friendly message, telling people to recycle fashion and truly care for their clothes.

Of the more notable designs is the Opalinda outfit representing Linda’s love for opals through its shimmering mix of colours. Linda is also expected to showcase some of her work at the 2012 Melbourne Fashion week.

The fashion and beauty industry is going strong despite the gloomy economic environment. Fashion designers are going all out with new collections and launches, while consumers are investing in high-end labels, exclusive spa treatments and men are increasingly opting for laser hair removal to take care of the pesky back and chest hair, as they become more aware of high-end fashion choices.

Today the Kardashian family is a global phenomenon. They get paid $25,000 to mention a product in one of their tweets and up to $250,000 just for showing up at a product launch, store opening or nightclub. Their reality show ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ featured on the E! Network is wildly popular. As if this wasn’t enough, the family’s expanding business ventures may now include a magazine.

According to the New York post, the K-Klan is toying with the idea of starting a Kardashian-centric magazine and has approached the American Media Inc for the same. Consumers can expect the magazine to feature all things Kardashian.

Kardashians always manage to be in the news. From Kim’s 72 day long marriage and Khloe’s weight loss to the open support for laser hair removal, everything that the family does makes headlines. The family also endorses several products and brands. For
instance, Kim is the brand ambassador for the US based laser hair removal products seller TRIA. If Kardashian-centric magazine becomes a reality, the K-Klan will not have to depend on other celebrity publication to popularize themselves. Considering the direction this family is headed, a TV network dedicated to the Kardashians is not unimaginable.
