Product Description

Every girl's essential handbag guide to the full range of no-surgery treatments on offer from the cosmetic doctor on TV's 10 Years Younger, Dr Patrick Bowler. Hands up if you're bored of buying the latest expensive age-defying face cream and not seeing any results. Or if you'd like to remove a few wrinkles and blemishes, but are too scared to go 'under the knife' -- most of us want to slow down the ageing process but taking three weeks off work swaddled in bandages while the swelling goes down is not our idea of a good time. Luckily Dr Patrick Bowler, from TV's 10 Years Younger, is here to help, sharing his insider knowledge of the fast, pain-free, affordable alternatives to surgery. In his jargon-free guide, Dr Bowler answers the questions on everyone's lips about each treatment, such as 'does it hurt?', 'how long does it last for?' and 'how much does it cost?'. And the good news is that most of these non-invasive treatments, from Botox to facial peels, can even be fitted in during your lunch break.

Customer Reviews

More than skin deep!
Does exactly what it says on the cover. What a refreshing read in the days where women are bombarded with the latest beauty treatments at the turn of every magazine page. Dispels the myths surrounding various so called miracle creams and treatments, explaining simply the things we can do that can make a difference. Laid out in a very easy to read format - thoroughly recommend it for its straight talking.

the nervous girl's guide to nip and tuck
An easy to read and informative book. Dr Bowler's clearness and reliability comes through the whole book. I didnt realise that botox could be used in so many areas effectively and that there were so many non surgical treatments available. I found the chapter on Lotions and Potions most interesting and helpful and will certainly follow the tips. Reading patients personal stories gives the book complete realness and honesty especially to the "beginner patient" in this area. I must for every girl's book shelf and I never need to think about what presents to give my friends ever again! This is it!

The nervous Girls Guide to Nip and Tuck: look ten years younger with 80 no-surgery treatments
Since buying this book one of the best things i have found about it is that it is so user friendly. It didn't try to confuse me with medical terms and the book is set out in such a way that i could easily find information on a specific treatment or search for answers to a particular problem. Everything is there so i now know how much a treatment should cost to whether or not it will hurt! Dr Patrick Bowler is the Chairman of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors and apparently one of the pioneers of non-surgical techniques so i feel the advice and information comes from an extremely trustworthy source. It will definitely be my top referral guide before i consider having any other treatments done.
