Aging? No thank you.

Like it or not, the aging process catches up with most of us eventually. We start to lose the collagen and elastin that give our skin that youthful bounce and glow, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to develop. Precision Medical Aesthetics, in Lebanon, offers a unique dermal filler called Sculptra that can soften lines and wrinkles and restore the contours on the face.

Sculptra stimulates collagen production, which helps the skin naturally renew itself. Results develop gradually, look completely natural, and last much longer than most other injectables.

5 Reasons to Consider Sculptra

From its ability to comprehensively rejuvenate the face to its low-maintenance treatment schedule, here’s why this filler is so popular:

1. A Comprehensive Rejuvenation

By spurring collagen production, this dermal filler works to repair the underlying scaffolding of the face, which offers a host of cosmetic benefits. Once this dermal filler has done its work, the added fullness in the face eases the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.

2. Natural Results

Collagen development can take some time, so it may be several months before the improvements in the face fully take hold. But the gradual onset of results gives patients results that look more natural and less over-filled. You’ll never look like suddenly went and "had work done."

3. Long-Lasting Improvement

Because this filler essentially rebuilds the underlying infrastructure of the face by generating collagen, it offers results that last much longer than most other injectables. Patients usually enjoy their results for two years or more.

4. A Low-Maintenance Option

Many patients schedule these appointments during their lunch hour. Once you’ve completed the initial series of injections, you’ll be good to go for two years, you won’t have to give this filler another thought.

5. Allergies Are Not a Concern

This dermal filler poses no risk of an allergic reaction and does not require allergy testing, because Poly-L-Lactic Acid is synthetic. Once it’s done the job of jump-starting collagen development, the Poly-L-Lactic Acid naturally fades from the body.

What Should I Do After My Injection?

You’ll be able to get right back to your regular schedule after your appointment with only a few recommendations for the first few days after treatment. Patients should massage the injection site for five minutes, five different times a day.

These self-massages further ensure that the Poly-L-Lactic acid is fully distributed. Patients should avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for several days after their injection.

How Many Treatments Are Necessary?

It’s not unusual for a patient to undergo four treatments over a period of weeks. But because each patient has different cosmetic needs, treatment plans can vary.

Are You Ready to Turn Back the Clock?

Are you ready to restore youthful plumpness to your face and turn back those early signs of aging? From convenient, easy treatments to long-lasting results, there are lots of reasons to give this impressive dermal filler a try. Don’t wait any longer.

KEEPING BACKYARD CHICKENS IS A REWARDING AND PRACTICAL HOBBY THAT IS GAINING POPULARITY AMONG URBAN AND SUBURBAN DWELLERS ALIKE.

Not only do chickens provide a source of fresh eggs, but they also serve as natural pest control and can add a touch of whimsy to your garden.

Before you start building your coop and buying chicks, it's important to check with your city or town's ordinances to ensure that keeping chickens is allowed in your area. Some cities may have restrictions on the number of chickens you can keep, or require that your coop be a certain distance from your neighbors.

Once you've determined that keeping chickens is allowed in your area, it's time to start planning your coop. A coop should provide your chickens with a secure, dry place to sleep and lay eggs, as well as access to the outdoors. It should be well-ventilated, but also protect against predators such as raccoons and stray dogs. When designing your coop, consider the size of your flock and the space you have available. A general rule of thumb is to provide at least 4 square feet of coop space per chicken.

In addition to a coop, your chickens will need a run – a fenced-in area where they can roam and forage during the day. This can be attached to the coop or be a separate structure. The size of the run will depend on the size of your flock and the amount of space you have available. A good rule of thumb is to provide at least 10-20 square feet of run space per chicken.

When it comes to choosing the right breeds for your backyard flock, consider the climate you live in and your personal preferences. Some breeds, such as Australorps and Sussex, are known for their hardiness and ability to withstand cold weather. Others, such as Leghorns and White Rock, are known for their prolific egg-laying abilities. There are also many "heritage" breeds that are prized for their unique characteristics and are becoming more popular as backyard chickens.

Once you've chosen your breeds and built your coop and run, it's time to order your chicks. Chicks can be purchased from a hatchery or a local farm supply store, and it's best to order them in the spring when they are readily available. When you receive your chicks, they will need to be kept in a warm, draft-free area with a heat lamp to provide the necessary warmth. They will also need access to food and water. As they grow, you can gradually decrease the temperature and introduce them to the outdoors.

As your chickens mature, they will need a diet of commercial feed, as well as access to fresh water at all times. In addition to feed, chickens love to forage and will happily eat insects, weeds, and kitchen scraps such as vegetable peels and fruit scraps. Supplementing their diet with foraged items can save money on feed costs and help keep your backyard clean.

Chickens also require regular healthcare to keep them healthy and productive. This includes regular deworming and monitoring for any signs of illness, such as sneezing, coughing, or lethargy. It's also important to keep their coop and run clean, as dirty living conditions can lead to illness and reduce egg production.

One of the joys of keeping backyard chickens is collecting and eating your own fresh eggs. Chickens will typically start laying eggs at around 4-6 months of age, and will continue laying throughout their lives (as long as they are well cared for). Egg production may decrease in the winter months due to shorter daylight hours, but a good quality light source can help extend the laying season.
