Dr Mitchel Goldman, who is in Australia to talk to over 500 cosmetic medical practitioners, is a champion of a gentle and gradual turning back of the clock – his advice to Australian doctors is to take a long-term approach with cosmetic clients. "Ageing doesn't occur overnight and neither should the reversal. That would just look unnatural. Furthermore, quick and instant change isn't for everyone – physically or psychologically. Sometimes it can be a case of too much change too quickly. This dramatic change or over correction can frighten clients off procedures forever."
"Clients of cosmetic medical procedures are turning the other cheek away from quick fixes. No more is it OK to look like you've had work done overnight."
As skin ages, the dermis thins due to collagen loss, thus reducing its ability to retain elasticity (from elastin) and moisture (from hyaluronic acid).
