We can often look older than we actually feel and no-one is free from the ageing process. Gradually the natural suppleness and elasticity of the skin are lost. The results are most noticeable around the face and neck as lines, wrinkles and loose skin begin to appear. No matter how careful you are about your skincare, these natural developments occur in everyone.

Improvements to cosmetic surgery procedures, coupled with greater awareness and demand, mean that today the facelift is available at a sensible price and is no longer the preserve of the rich and famous. And if your health is good, age is not an obstacle to self-improvement.
