But a nascent website called Rent the Runway is hoping to make high-end fashions much more accessible and almost as easy as renting a movie from Netflix. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/accommodations/story/902957.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/accommodations/story/902957.html Wed, 06 Jun 2007 12:49 EDT Ask Dr. Carlos Wolf your questions http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/accommodations/story/903002.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/accommodations/story/903002.html Wed, 06 Jun 2007 12:49 EDT Ask Dr. Leslie Baumann your questions http://www.miamiherald.com/living/fashion/story/1325889.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/fashion/story/1325889.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:00 EST While most Sleepless nighters were parading around South Beach scoping out artsy exhibitions, guests at Nikki Beach on Saturday night were treated to free manis, bubbly, cupcakes and chocolate at the launch party for the What Women Want fashion series. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/fashion/story/1326096.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/fashion/story/1326096.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:00 EST 1160 Hair Salon and Spa Offers Opening Discounts: Get 50 percent off all services and organic coffee chocolate pedicure treatment with champagne, specialty gourmet coffees and chocolate truffles; through Nov. 30; 1160 Hair Salon and Spa, 1160 Kane Concourse, Suite 101, Bay Harbor Islands. 305-866-7939 or www.1160hair.com. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/fashion/story/1317315.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/fashion/story/1317315.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Yigal Azrouël looks more like the male models he dresses than someone who makes the clothes.

I am a woman of color. For the past several years I have been noticing that I look tired and have bags under my eyes.

Is this true? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1280626.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1280626.html Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I know that some skin types shouldn't use abrasive exfoliating products -- but which skin types? A: You're absolutely right. Many people with sensitive skin should not use abrasive exfoliating scrubs, as the friction can increase redness and further compromise an impaired skin barrier. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1257519.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1257519.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Q: What are your thoughts on these new expensive creams that claim to have ''stem cells'' in them? A: There are actually two types of claims that these ''stem cell'' creams make: the first is that they contain stem cells, and the second is that they stimulate stem cells already in the skin. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1234517.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1234517.html Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Sculptra, an injection that stimulates skin cells to make collagen, was approved by the FDA in July to treat facial wrinkles. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1170524.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1170524.html Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT A recent study was published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology claiming that Botox is an effective treatment for acne. Now all the beauty magazines are writing about this and I want to set the record straight. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1140745.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1140745.html Wed, 15 Jul 2009 03:01 EDT Summer is the time to spice it up. Many spices contain strong antioxidants that help mitigate the damage caused by sun exposure. Antioxidants help prevent skin cancer by reducing inflammation, decreasing free radicals and preventing DNA damage caused by sun exposure (known as thymine dimers). http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1120879.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1120879.html Wed, 01 Jul 2009 03:01 EDT Devotees of detox diets and spa treatments have long insisted that fasting, slathering yourself with mud and mineral salts or taking certain types of oral supplements and vitamins can remove chemicals, pollutants and other vague ''impurities'' from the body. Now beauty companies have jumped on the bandwagon, claiming that their products also have detoxifying benefits. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1088225.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1088225.html Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:01 EDT There are a few skin changes that you should never ignore, even in children. Take your son or daughter to a dermatologist right away if you see any of these: http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1313586.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1313586.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Q.

Recently, I had a consult with a surgeon for breast augmentation. I asked if he could do it endoscopically through my armpit and he said that he didn't recommend that approach because it could interfere with the detection and treatment of breast cancer. Is that true? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1269057.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1269057.html Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I just finished reading the book I Feel Bad About my Neck by Nora Ephron, and although I found it funny, I really do feel bad about how my neck is looking. I am 45 years old, attractive, active and I don't want to look older. What can I do to help my neck look better? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1245634.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1245634.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I just heard that the FDA approved Sculptra for facial injections. Which product do you think is better, Sculptra or Botox? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1221958.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1221958.html Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I'm in my late 30s and many of my friends are talking about the injections they've received to look younger. I'm new at this and don't have too much money to spend. Should I ask for a filler or a toxin? How do they differ? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1201382.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1201382.html Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I just came back from a reunion with my girlfriends. There was one friend of mine that looked particularly great. Her skin had no apparent wrinkles. When I asked her what surgery she had, she said that she just started to shave -- yes shave! What's that about? Is she telling the truth? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1180940.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1180940.html Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I am considering having cosmetic surgery and I started wondering: What would happen if I were unhappy with the results? Would I have to pay for the surgery again? How about the hospital and the anesthesiologist? And what would happen if I had a complication after surgery? Would my insurance cover the costs of hospitalization? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1130283.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1130283.html Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:01 EDT Q. I have one ear that sticks out more than the other ear. Is it possible to only correct the ear that is bothering me? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1109774.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1109774.html Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:01 EDT Q. I hope you can help me. I have one nipple that goes in instead of sticking out. I am embarrassed to wear tight shirts and I just don't like it. Is there anything I can do about it? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1099402.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1099402.html Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:01 EDT Q. I would like to have surgery on my face but I am scared I'll end up with that chasing-the-wind look. Do you always have to end up looking that way after facial plastic surgery? I do not want to age gracefully, but I don't want to look like I am scared stiff, either. Please let me know if there is hope for me.
