Is it really possible to look five years younger in flash without surgery? Beauty Director Kate Mahon chose five women and put them in the hands of five cosmetic surgeons to see how much difference five weeks of non-invasive facial treatments would make to their appearance. You be the judge.

"I felt fine about the way that I looked, even though I was noticing I didn’t appear as young as before. Curiosity spurred me on to try these treatments. I don’t think I wanted to look five or 10 years younger, but I did want to see what all the fuss was about."
The doctor:
Dr Jan Knight, Intelligent Aging, Mosman, NSW
The treatment plan:
Skincare update with Cosmedix, Cellex-C and Eyra Clinic which contained vitamins A, B, and C plus sunscreens, and was introduced to Glo mineral make-up. She had a photo-facial with a Starlux IPL machine, and was treated with a 532nm laser to address the dilated capillaries. Facial hair was removed with epi-blading, followed by Vaniqa cream from CSL Bio Therapies. Three micro-dermabrasion treatments and a chemical peel. Juvederm dermal fillers and Botox.
The Beau Visage Report:
Pre-treatment: Skin age: 47 years
Post-treatment: Skin age: 41 years.
Difference: Six years
The verdict:
"The total effect is fresher and more youthful, while maintaining a very natural, healthy appearance. Her jawline and lower face looks a good 10 years younger, but overall, I think you could say she looks five to 10 years younger," says Dr Knight.
