Now that summer is upon us, I feel it is important to write about outdoor summer safety. First and foremost, don't go to the beach or pool and just lie and bake yourself in the sun!

As far as I am concerned, mesotherapy (injecting a liquid material into the body in order to cause something to dissolve) is the latest "snake oil" licensed and unlicensed practitioners are using to take advantage of our naïve, beauty craving American public.
