Can AI Improve Your Botox Results? Dr. Carolyn Treasure Explains How
Dr. Carolyn Treasure, a Harvard Medical School graduate, started Peachy, a Botox studio, about five years ago with the goal of utilizing tech to optimize Botox results. Peachy currently has thirteen locations in four cities and offers innovative perks such as a flat-rate price and a free touch-up. All providers are registered nurses and the vibe is more Zen and less medicinal. But it is the use of AI that really sets apart the client experience. Experience a modern approach to Botox A visit to Peachy begins with a quick stop in its custom-built photo booth that captures high-resolution facial images and feeds them into a proprietary information system. Your technician takes five photos to build a 3D image of approximately 600 specific data points; these data points are used to analyze features, assess symmetry, and create an individualized treatment plan. By analyzing vast datasets and facial patterns, this patented AI mapping tool identifies optimal treatment points and suggests precise dosing. Peachy's tech ecosystem, also includes a fully-patented dosing algorithm that ensures accurate and consistent applications. The AI Treatment Tool functions as a knowledgeable partner, that assists, but does not replace your experienced provider. The computerized results are then reviewed by your provider, who will consult you on your goals. Some clients prefer more muscle movement in their forehead, but less around their eyes; others will seek less movement in all areas. A recommended treatment plan is then plotted. AI tools combined with provider expertise and client input help to create optimized results. AI at work Clients can return two weeks after their initial treatment for a 'touch-up,' if they feel their initial treatment was not quite right. This second visit also provides valuable data that is logged and can be used in an iterative process to improve future treatment plans. Peachy's AI tools help to ensure that every client, regardless of location, receives the same data-driven, high-quality care. By combining data and results from all locations, the system constantly refines its models. Both providers and clients are fans of this high-tech approach. And Peachy intends to continue to add innovation to this very popular anti-aging technique. The Peachy team is currently developing an optimized booking platform to streamline the customer journey, as well as ongoing iterations of the AI system to integrate feedback and scale learnings. If you want terrific anti-aging results that include a high-tech approach, Peachy is the place for you.

South Carolina man sentenced for trafficking semiautomatic guns to Worcester, Marlborough
A South Carolina man in the country illegally was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison April 14 after admitting to illegally shipping firearms to Worcester and Marlborough. Matheus Peroba, 21, received the sentence in U.S. District Court in Worcester, court records show. He will be subject to deportation proceedings after his sentence, U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah B. Foley noted in a news release. Federal agents in January 2024 intercepted two semiautomatic pistols they said Peroba had mailed to Grafton Street, writing in recently filed court documents that he was also seen gunsmithing an AK-47-style firearm in a video he sent to the pistols' intended recipient. Peroba, who agents said also sent firearms through the mail destined for Marlborough, pleaded guilty in December to one count of trafficking in firearms and one count of unlawful shipment of a firearm through the U.S. mail. Federal prosecutors wrote in Peroba's sentencing memorandum that he was discovered after Milford police searched a phone that belonged to a person they had arrested for an armed robbery at a 'small grocery store' in town. The person, who they said was also in the country illegally, had spoken to Peroba about illegally purchasing firearms, they said. Authorities said the firearms Peroba shipped to Grafton Street were intended for that person, who they referred to in court documents as 'Individual 1.' They said text exchanges between the two showed that Peroba was aware the person was planning to using firearms acquired from Peroba in crimes. Authorities said that while discussing the shipment of firearms destined for Grafton Street, Peroba sent the person a message 'explaining that if Individual 1 does anything with the gun … to throw away the top because that is the part of the gun connected to Peroba's name.' In his sentencing memorandum, Peroba's lawyer, Jane Peachy, said Peroba was a young man who'd had a hard life and no prior record, but made poor decisions. Peachy said Peroba's mother left him when he was 3, and he grew up in poverty in Brazil raised by his father and grandmother. 'Although they did their best to raise them in a loving family, Matheus was exposed to violence, fights, and even murder in his community during his childhood,' Peachy wrote, adding he and his father came to the United States illegally in search of a better life. Peachy said Peroba, between language barriers and the COVID-19 pandemic, struggled in Brockton High School before dropping out. He had a child with his girlfriend, struggled to make money installing cabinets, and moved to South Carolina to be with his father for a cheaper cost of living, she said. "When he moved to South Carolina, where it was undoubtedly easier to obtain firearms than in Massachusetts, he purchased firearms that he sold to some of these people in Massachusetts for a profit,' Peachy wrote. Peachy said Peroba realizes now the gravity of his crime, and said he accepted full responsibility by telling police what he did and pleading guilty. She noted his father has already been deported, and that he will be deported after his sentence. She said he and his girlfriend plan to 'move to Brazil so they can be together and abandon any dream of raising their American-born daughter in this country.' Peachy, noting that Peroba will not receive credit for considerable time spent in ICE custody prior to his plea and arguing his youth contributed to his crime, requested a 24-month sentence, records show. U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman settled on a 30-month sentence.

Beloved Sabatino's waitress "Peachy" retiring after nearly 50 years
Leonora "Peachy" Dixon, an authentic Baltimore jewel, is hanging up her uniform after serving customers at Little Italy's Sabatino's for nearly 50 years. The longtime waitress will work her final shift on Saturday before retiring and moving to Havre De Grace to be with her grandchildren. Peachy has greeted hungry patrons for about 70% of the 70 years the restaurant has been open. "I'm gonna cry because this is my life here, you know," Peachy said. "And I'm gonna miss it terribly, you know I am." Peachy's parents immigrated from Italy to Highlandtown, where she still lives, in the house where she was born. There's no menu needed when ordering from Peachy. She knows it all. The Dulaneys, who are regulars at Sabatino's, remember when the restaurant stayed open until 3 a.m. "People would flood from the bars, and they'd be lined up here out the door," Mr. Dulaney said. "A single guy would come in here and get spaghetti and meatballs," Peachy recalled. "Next thing I know, his head would be right in the meatballs, and this is in the summertime when they used to have outdoor seating." Peachy says one of the first guests she saw at Sabatino's was Frank Sinatra. "The first week I worked here," Peachy said. "No, I didn't wait on him. Oh my God, I'd just started waiting here." Peachy said Sinatra arrived in a limousine and was greeted by a crowd outside the restaurant. "When Frank Sinatra's limousine pulled up outside, all the old ladies were out with their aprons, you know, he hugged and kissed each one of them," Peachy said. "He was so nice." Peachy served other celebrities, including actress and singer Debbie Reynolds and actor Johnny Depp. "Johnny Depp sat there, Johnny Depp sat at that table right there," Peachy said. "And when I came to him, I went, 'Oh my God,' cause he had those eyes, and I didn't know it was him until I started taking his order." Peachy got her nickname from a priest at a church. "When I was little, he said, 'You got peachy cheeks, and my family heard it, and that was it, because of the priest," Peachy said. If you are a long-time Baltimorean, city councilman Mimi Dipietro was Peachy's uncle. In the 1970s, when Peachy was a single mom and needed a job, Mimi called Sabatino's. Hours and hours of walking the carpets of Sabatino's dining rooms and sidewalks of East Baltimore are all chronicled in Peachy's three autobiographies. Peachy's autobiographies and one novel, "The Baltimore Bookies," are still on sale at bookstores around Baltimore. "I have a peachy life," she said. "I've had a peachy life here."

Ex-Miss Hong Kong winner and other pet owners bewildered by spate of poisonings
Within 30 seconds of eating meat left on a street in Lam Tsuen, two dogs belonging to former Hong Kong beauty queen Lisa-Marie Tse Ga-ye, Peachy and Summer, began foaming at the mouth and dropped to the ground, overcome by seizures. '[Peachy] was kind of jumping back, she was very scared … There was like this white horrible, horrible foam just coming out like every second,' the Miss Hong Kong 2020 winner recalled. 'When I turned round back from Peachy, then Summer started to have seizures as well.' Her two dogs ate what appeared to be a mixture of roast pork and chicken covered in white powder. Peachy died during the ride to the veterinarian, while Summer was alive when she arrived at the clinic only for her heart to stop 15 minutes later. Tse adopted Summer, a dachshund, at 12 weeks old in Scotland in 2017, and met Peachy, a mixed-breed, who was 12 weeks old, at a charity event in 2021. 'I've been emotionally traumatised,' she said. 'That's like two months of absolute horribleness and both my dogs are dead now.'
