Study rates Botox, Dysport in treating 'crow's-feet'

Are all wrinkle-relieving botulinum toxins created equal?

For some readers (you know who you are) this is an important question. So you will be glad to know that a study by University of California-San Francisco researchers found that both tried-and-true Botox, approved in 2002, and rival Dysport, approved in 2009, were effective for lateral orbital rhytids - eye creases better known as "crow's-feet."

However, Dysport was superior to Botox when patients squinted as hard a they could, according to the study, funded by the makers of the two brands of injections.

For the study of 77 women and 13 men, each patient received one agent on the right eye, the other agent on the left. A researcher and the patient judged the patient's results without knowing which agent was used on which side until the study was completed.

Although Dysport turned out to be better at relieving wrinkles during "maximal contraction" of eye muscles, the researchers see a need for studies in other facial muscles. Their investigation (complete with photos) is in last week's Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery. - Marie McCullough

Small diet changes can make a big difference, study shows

Harvard University researchers have demonstrated what we all sort of know but hate to admit: Small changes in diet can add up to a big difference over time - for good or bad.

Their study, published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, analyzed self-reported information from more than 120,000 healthy, non-obese professionals who were followed for 20 years. On average, they put on less than a pound a year, but that added up to almost 17 pounds over two decades.

The researchers correlated weight gain with changes in consumption of certain foods and beverages, as well as factors including exercise and TV watching. The impact of any single dietary change was small. For example, eating more desserts corresponded to gaining 0.7 pound over four years, while eating more fruits corresponded to losing that much over four years.

However, the combined effect was hefty. Increased intake of potato chips, sugary beverages, and meats was associated with the greatest weight gains over 20 years, while eating more fruits, veggies, nuts, and whole grains was associated with the least weight gain. - M. M.

Diane Cooke on Botox, bleach and babes | The Natter

 

I was recently filmed for a student documentary sounding off about the purpose of beauty pageants in society. Everyone has a subject that lights the blue touch paper and pageants are mine. I can’t believe that after almost 100 years of emancipation that pretty, and in many cases, highly intelligent girls are still feeling the need to flaunt themselves like two-bit hookers for the title of, at best, Miss World, at worst, Miss Worksop.

But at least these girls can make their own choices. I wouldn’t want my daughter to do it, even though she’s pretty enough. I’m grateful that she doesn’t see the point.

But when I hear about the beauty pageant moms of America who lead their kids into competing at an age when they know no better, forcing them to undergo hellish beauty treatments, I want to scream “child abuse.”

San Francisco authorities are investigating a mother who says she gives anti-wrinkle Botox injections to her eight-year-old daughter who appears in beauty contests.

California mum Kerry Campbell has come under fire after admitting she injects her young daughter Britney with Botox to get rid of ‘wrinkles’ that appear on the girl’s face when she smiles.

Officials from the city’s Human Services Agency have been in touch with Ms Campbell and Britney after the mother’s comments on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Mrs Campbell may seem an extreme case, but hit TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras has proved there is little, from spray tanning to body hair waxing, a pageant mother will not do to their child in the name of a trophy.

But the latest episode was one of the most shocking to date. Lori, a mother-of-two from Chillicothe, Ohio, was filmed applying bleach to the teeth of her daughter and son. Yes, they even have pageants for boys now.

Despite the children’s protests, she told how she insists on regularly brushing the foul-tasting substance onto their teeth.

She said: “I bleach my children’s teeth at least once a week – whether we have a pageant coming up or not.”

Lori explained in the documentary that the reason for the teeth whitening is because she doesn’t like ‘flippers’ – false teeth that many child pageant contestants wear.

She said: “Flippers I think are kind of silly, because you’re literally altering what God gave them.
