How does RegenPlasma™ work? RegenPlasma™ is a regenerative medicine and works best aesthetically when it is introduced into the skin. Your own concentration of cells will then work with your body to naturally promote a "structure and signals" process for new tissue and collagen growth.
When will I see results? 7[iZg i]Z igZVibZci eVi^Zcih d[iZc cdi^XZ ÒcZ a^cZh VcY wrinkles have softened and deeper wrinkled areas, such as nasilabial-folds, may look more plump and smoother. However, according to studies, the main goal of a HZ\ZcFaVhbV igZVibZci ^h id hi^bjaViZ ÓWZgWaVhi VcY develop long-term collagen formations in the dermis. Any plumping in the treated areas with RegenPlasma™ may slowly be absorbed into the dermis creating a platform for stronger skin and a more healthy appearance.

What areas can be treated with RegenPlasma™? RegenPlasma™ is derived from your own biological makeup and does not contain synthetic products, therefore, virtually any area of the body can be treated such as: face, neck, chest, hands, scars, etc.
How many treatments will I need? The basic strategy for a RegenPlasma™ program can range from one to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Yet, once you discuss the primary priorities of your skin needs with your physician, the number of treatments could vary.
Are there any side effects? Because all constitutes retrieved in RegenPlasma™ are exclusively from you (autologous in origin), there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or intolerance. Nevertheless, before the treatment you need to disclose all the medications you are taking (including herbs) with your doctor.

Valley Wine Maker Jorge Jaber Celebrates First Bottling by Ralph Magaña photo by Fox Aguilar
Jorge Jaber is a man with pacience and he has to be in the wine business. It takes at full year, from summer harvest to next summer bottling before he can see the fruits of his labor, a bottle of Jaber Estate Yineyard Wine, ready for distribution from his vineyard west of Mission, Texas. At the estate on September 9th Jorge and about 600 friends and family celebrated the bottling of his first harvest. The wine tasting event of his first bottling was extraordinary and featured exquisite catering from City Cafe, live music and personal tours of the “ranch”, as Jorge calls the property that cloisters a processing shed, a small lake, an office, a gazebo and 18 acres of vineyard. This, the valley’s first commercial estate vineyard is located about 10 miles northwest of Mission on Western Road, a little beyond the point where 107 bends northward around Moore Field. There, the grapes were harvested in the summer of 2011 and immediately cooled, juiced and stored in the large stainless steel vats for months. The wine was then transferred to oak barrels, where it patiently aging a bit more. The Blanc du Bois (for white wine) were ready for bottling in February and the Spanish Black (for making red wine) was bottled in May. From both red and white grapes harvested at the 18 acre vineyard Jaber has produced some impressively distinctive flavors. He says, “its all in what the climate brings during the growing season”, but it also indicates good soil conditions and that “the grapes can be successfully grown in this area” according to Texas wine expert enologist, Benedicte Rhyme. “The red has perfect character to compliment grilled meat and wild game while the white Blanc du Bois is well matched for local Texas redfish and flounder.” Jaber is now preparing the site for curious visitor who want to learn more about wine making. He has plans for a gift shop and facilities to host events at the estate, the valley’s first commercial vineyard, and possibly a “Texas Best”. Look for Jaber Estate Wine soon at local fine dining restaurants. To learn more about it contact: Benedicte at winectry@wildblue.net.

The Art of Contour Sculpting by Natalie Bugarin
S
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leading the Way in Valley Modeling for Over 15 Yearsâ&#x20AC;?
culpting for contour is a technique that produces the appearance of highlights and shadows to give more definition or alters the appearance of facial characteristics. Often used to shape cheeks, thin a nose, or soften a jaw line, the technique relies on creating strong contrasts in the right places by using light and dark shades of cream foundation, or by using dark and light shades of blush colors and eye shadows. For example, darkening the area below a cheekbone and highlighting the area creates a shadow that sculpts the cheek. Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone all over the face. And, then contour with the lighter highlights over the T-zone. Use the dark tone to create shading elsewhere. This saves a step by applying all three shades of foundation (dark, medium, and light in the appropriate places) all at the same time.
2405 N. 10th St. Suite A, McAllen TX / 956-682-0044 www.missysmodelingrgv.com
It takes a little practice mastering the technique, and if you have any kind of art background you should be well on your way. Always work with familiar brands and to test spot before applying anything new. And, be patient, creating a new and eye catching expression can help you catch your share of attention!

Wearing a 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halter top and makeup styled from the era she shows a familiar vintage look characterized with red lips, full brows and brilliant, winged cat eye liner. For most at the time, eye lashes were long but not dense giving more contrast to a pale foundation and a neutral blush. Well defined, thick eyebrows were in like flint that tapered outward to a clean, curved point while the inner points were rounded or cornered. Winged cat eyeliners were the standard but appeared with endless flips and shapes to enhance the appearance of the eyes. They were applied with pencil for shaping and with liquid or gel eyeliners for a pronounced on the uppers. 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lips were iconic and followed the lead of familiar stars of the time like Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield who used a tapered red to shape a pleasant smile. This look was accented with a beauty mark in the lower right quadrant.
