Silverton may sue doc over laser treatment
British news presenter Kate Silverton is threatening to sue the doctor who conducted the laser skin-rejuvenation procedure that temporarily disfigured her.
Silverton, 37, underwent the treatment to have acne scars removed and to improve her skin tone; however, her face ended up swollen and covered in painful sores and lumps, the Daily Telegraph reported.
She was also forced to take two weeks off from her job at the BBC, the report said.
Although Silverton is now back to work, she told her attorneys to begin proceedings against the Jan Stanek clinic in London.
"It's been awful. I went in to get some minor scarring on my cheeks treated. I was told it would be a routine procedure and I'd be back to work in days. The treatment, however, caused a massive skin reaction," Silverton told the Telegraph.
SLU researchers to look at laser treatment for acne scars
ST on Monday, January 14, 2008 ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine plan to test a special laser treatment that might improve acne scars on people with darker skin. The scars are difficult to remove. Physicians usually treat the scars by removing the surface of the skin with powerful lasers or chemical treatments. These treatments can cause discoloration for people with darker skin. Dermatologists at Saint Louis University plan a clinical trial to see if a gentler laser treatment might help. The technique would use lasers that bypass the surface of the skin and stimulate collagen growth underneath. .

A life-size scene of a slave auction where a family is being torn apart is lit by red light, showing a stark contradiction from the peaceful cabin to the tragic auction block."It's disturbing," said Sharon Rapacz of Springfield on her first visit. "But I think it's realistic."Further scenes and original, rare artifacts throughout the museum show the several aspects of Lincoln's life.One life-sized scene shows pistol-wielding assassin John Wilkes Booth creeping into the theater box where Lincoln and his wife are cuddling.In another, a faux-television production studio shows news coverage of the 1860 event as if it were happening in a modern-day TV studio.
