Would You Consider Anti-Ageing Treatments?

While most of us would like to defy odds and remain ever youthful, it seems the age of women opting for cosmetic or non-surgical treatments — derma fillers, laser, IPL and anti-wrinkle injections — to try and combat the ageing process is getting younger and younger.

While most of us would like to defy odds and remain ever youthful, it seems the age of women opting for cosmetic or non-surgical treatments — derma fillers, laser, IPL and anti-wrinkle injections — to try and combat the ageing process is getting younger and younger.

In a recent survey conducted by the Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia (CPSA), the organisation asked two and a half million women aged between 18 and 29 whether or not they have had any form of anti-ageing procedures. The results were remarkable with 28 percent saying yes. While there is evidence to suggest that they can in fact delay the ageing process, Dr. Susan Austin, spokesperson from the CPSA, believes that young women should look at making changes to their lifestyle before heading down this road. So, what do you think? Would you consider a cosmetic procedure to hide your fine lines?

Megan Gale has taken to Twitter today to defend allegations from The Daily Telegraph's Sydney Confidential that she uses Botox. "Sorry to disappoint your theories [Sydney Confidential] but I swear on my entire families lives that I have never succumbed to Botox," she tweeted. As one of our country's most successful models, Megan also mentioned a string of other procedures she hasn't had: "Oh [and] that also goes for fillers, restylane [and] any other toxic matter that we know very little about." It was a very honest and real attempt to defend herself and subsequently, her brand. The L'Oreal Paris ambassador, swimwear designer and all-round health advocate often tweets pictures and comments about nature walks she's on, visits to the gym or nutritious food she's made at home — the only proof we need that she's a natural beauty!

Just like Gwyneth Paltrow before her, Harper's Bazaar US' latest cover girl, Mila Kunis, got the same questions about Botox — has she, hasn't she; will she, won't she? Speaking frankly about the issue — hey, we'd expect no less from the girl who jumped to her Friends With Benefits co-star's defence in fluent Russian — Mila says: "I will not put a needle in my body unless I have a medical reason but ask me in 10 years. Right now, I’m like, 'I'm going to embrace it,' but . . . I'm probably going to want to have something done. I have no doubt." So if it's not Botox, what's on her makeover list? Her derrière.

But aside from that, "I like bread and cheese and wine," she says. Here's more from Gwyneth Paltrow in Harper's Bazaar.
