Q. What is Ultherapy?
A. Ultherapy is a safe, nonsurgical ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. Ultherapy uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrows, under the chin and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy is a great alternative to a face-lift, especially for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. With Ultherapy, there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, without having to follow any special post-treatment measures. The Food and Drug Administration-cleared Ultherapy procedure has been used safely in more than 250,000 treatments worldwide. Ultrasound energy has been used safely in the medical field for more than 50 years.

Holiday TRAVEL TIPS Simple ways to make trips less stressful
The holiday season is rife with tradition, and traveling to visit family and friends is a tradition shared by many people. Holiday travel can be hectic, as millions of people take to the airways, highways and railroads in the days before and after Christmas.
Travelers whose patience is annual- ly tried by airport security checkpoints and holiday traffic jams can employ several strategies to make holiday trav- el more palatable.
Let apps do your legwork
Technology has made life easier in many ways, and smartphone apps can even help travelers make holiday travel less stressful. FlightView, a free app, provides smartphone and tablet users with real-time flight information and even provides travelers with flight sta- tus alerts. Travelers or men and wom- en trusted with picking up family and friends at the airport can check gate assignments, delays and cancellations, and even follow the flight’s progress while it’s in the air.
And it’s not just air travelers who can put their apps to work for them. Drivers who are on a budget can download the free GasBuddy app, which finds the cheapest gas in a giv- en city or postal code. Traveling apps
are quite popular, and many are free, saving travelers money while making holiday travel that much easier.
Bring along your own sustenance
Hunger pangs are sure to arise during your holiday travels. Airports and roadside truck stops are not ex- actly known for healthy fare, so pack your own nourishing foods that can help you maintain your energy and stay healthy. Packing your own meals and snacks also saves you money and, if you’re driving, time.
Ship gifts
Shipping holiday gifts is another way to simplify holiday travel and save money. The lighter air travelers can pack, the more quickly they can make it through the airport. Shipping gifts saves you from paying excessive bag fees and also saves you the trouble of checking bags and waiting in baggage claim. Drivers also may benefit from
shipping gifts, which can give everyone in the car more room to relax and also save the driver some money on gas.
Switch up your travel schedule
If possible, take an extra day or two off during the holidays so you aren’t forced to travel on the busiest travel days, which tend to be the days that im- mediately precede and follow the major holidays. If you must travel on busy holi- days, hit the road or the friendly skies as early as possible. Book an early-morning flight so you beat the crowds at security checkpoints, or begin your drive an hour or so before sunrise when many of your fellow travelers are still asleep.
Travel is a holiday tradition for ma- ny people. While airports and high- ways are especially congested during the holiday season, there are many ways for travelers to make their trips less hectic this year.
