No-Surgery Fat Zappers
Quick and non-invasive techniques to spot treat fat are becoming more and more common. Thank goodness! These are some methods being used:
Zerona, great for trouble spots you can't shake off. Zerona uses low-level lasers to create a temporary hole in fat cells so what's inside can leak out. It's safer than lipo and pain-free. Overeating can make the fat come back, so you could regain some of the weight. Cost: Up to $4,275 for 9 sessions
Liposonix "uses ultrasound energy to dissolve small areas of fat," says Paul Jarrod Frank M.D., a cosmetics dermatologist in NYC. Some bruising or redness, which can last up to a week, may result. Cost: Up to $5,000
Zeltiq's Cool Sculpting freezes your fat between two cold panels, for up to two hours per session, destroying fat cells. Once again, fat can come back if you don't monitor your diet. Cost: $750

"Prevent Lines Like a Beauty Editor"
This is from an interview with "skin-obsessed" Kristin Perrotta, Allure executive editor. She describes what works for her in Allure's Insider's Guide Fall 2012.
1. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least 50. She loves Neutrogena Pure and Free Liquid Daily Sunblock 50 ($12.99) "because it's so light and powerful."
2. Apply an antioxidant cream under sunscreen and at night with CoffeeBerry, idebenone, or green tea. She uses RevaleSkin Night Cream ($120) which has CoffeeBerry.
3. Use a lightening lotion to fade dark spots at night 20 minutes before your moisturizer to give it time to work. She uses Elure Advanced Skin Lightening Lotion ($150). "This stuff really works."
4. Don't go to bed without applying a retinoid. She uses RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Night Cream ($22.99). Dilute with a little plain moisturizer around the eyes to avoid irritation.
5. Exfoliate every other night with a glycolic acid peel. She likes Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel ($25) "because it's easy to use and brightens skin-fast."
6. Sometimes she gets Botox around eyes and forehead.
