Life, Dr Nantapat Supapannachart, Published on 12/04/2016
» One of the most frequent complaints I hear from my patients concerns those dreaded dark circles under the eyes. Many reveal that even when they feel energised and rested they are told by well-meaning meddlers that they "look tired" or "should get more sleep". But fatigue isn't the only cause for dark circles under the eyes; alcohol and late nights can both contribute. However, there are many other different causes for the panda eye complex.

» We all know that Botulinum toxin, widely known as Botox, is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe crow's feet and the lines between the eyebrows in adults. Some of us might even know that this famous non-surgical cosmetic procedure has also proven to be very effective for other off-label uses like smoothing neckbands, for hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) and for eye spasms.

» In your 20s, you may be crabby about a full, fat face and how it makes you look portly in pictures. But when in your 40s, you'll be among the lucky few who are still enjoying voluminous cheeks. For at this age, most of those who enjoyed a shapely face with defined cheekbones are having troubles with volume loss and a hollow and sagging appearance. When the inevitable volume depletion kicks in, those with a plump and round face are likely to get defined cheekbones, but most others are finding ways to make the face pretty and firm like before.

Life, Dr Nantapat Supapannachart, Published on 26/07/2012
» We all want something bigger, faster, and stronger, everything from houses, cars and internet speed all the way down to extra strength, headache pills and energy drinks. We've also become impatient, we want change, and we want it now. We want to see immediate effects, and results. The same goes for building muscles and having six-packs. The desire to build a strong muscular body is in most of us, but we often get demotivated because the muscle gain comes too slow and requires too much effort. We want shortcuts to achieving that perfect body _ it'd be awesome if we could just wake up one morning with six-packs, effortlessly. Are there any shortcuts?

Big breasts on men, known as gynaecomastia, can be an embarrassment and it often leaves many desperate for a way to reduce their size.
