Getting under the skin of treatments

IT IS impossible to open a magazine these days without seeing an advert or article on some kind of cosmetic enhancement.

They will usually feature an impossibly glamorous model who is at least 15 years away from needing any kind of cosmetic intervention.

A huge variety of treatments are available, from creams, which reduce your wrinkles, to plastic surgery under general anaesthetic.

All make bold promises about how much better they will make you look and feel. But interestingly they seldom, if ever, offer you your money back if the procedure fails.

Having said that, there are effective techniques available, but how do you know which ones are safe and effective and which will have been abandoned in a few years due to lack of efficacy or some high-profile disasters?

In this article I would like to outline some of the effective treatments available in the field of cosmetic dermatology and give you some guidance about which cosmetic procedure may be right for you.

Firstly, you should begin by looking in the mirror. Everyone would like to change something about their appearance but the important thing to bear in mind is whether the change will really be worthwhile and give you a lasting benefit, or whether it will be something that nobody would notice.
