Varicose Vein Removal to Permanently Eliminate Large Veins Cost: $950-$3,000
Lasts: Forever.
Who should do it: If you have large, bulging varicose veins, says Bruce E. Katz, MD, Director of Juva Skin & Laser Center and clinical professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai.

Why you should do it: One varicose vein stripping treatment can get rid of all your larger varicose veins -- for good. The procedure has minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. They use a local anesthetic around the area, and then make tiny incisions and actually remove the vein, explains Katz.

Know before you go: Though downtime is minimal, you will have to wear support stockings and refrain from exercise for about a week after the procedure.

Wow!!! I have always wanted to get a gel manicure. I'm going to try it out & I have always wanted to dye my hair but was afraid of damages. Now I know to use the sem-permanent dye

I have had my hair done with the Japenese straightening system for 3 1/2 years now. Touch ups every year. I once had kinky, curly, unruly hair. The treatment changed my life. The headache of the tangles, gels, mousses and gels are gone. I also just started doing lash extensions. LOVE them. I have had them since June 12', and I can't live without them now! Two huge time savers. I can now actually spend the day not worrying about myself. And spend it with my two babies :)

Removing gel manicure is damaging your nails.

I had my hair chemically straightened in Vietnam and while it was hard on my hair, it was so nice just being able to let my hair air dry and have it be pin straight! Not having to flat iron and blow dry my hair was really convenient and also good for my hair. Eyelash extensions seem expensive and like they'd look bad once they started wearing off... Revitalash has made my lashes crazy long, lasts longer and is less expensive.

I wish I didn't have to curl my lashes everyday!

Fillers are great at first, but you can become a slave to them. You also have to use the right one for the job. Tattooed makeup scares me, even as a person with permanent body art. It's your face, and what if they mess up?

I had no idea you could use a filler injection to do that to your nose. Very illuminating!

interesting ideas. DEFINITELY dont think ANOYONE should get their make up tatooed onto their face. not a good idea at all. if it goes wrong you are stuck with it forever. plus it looks fake and everyone who sees you will know that you got it done.... just not a good idea at all. guys like the natural look better anyways.
