» Tattoos were once reserved for dropouts, sailors, criminals and punks but these days you'd be hard pressed to walk down any busy Bangkok street and not see people of all ages and nationalities sporting leg tattoos, arm sleeves and even head tattoos.

Another factor in many people's desire to get a tattoo removed is that old tattoos usually fade and the fine lines spread, so they don't look as good as they did when they were first done, plus tattoos tend to look better on young skin than on older, wrinkled skin.

» Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin, a nerve poison produced by the same bacteria that causes botulism. Injections of the drug act like minuscule poison darts that temporarily blunt chemical nerve signals to certain muscles or glands, reducing their activity. It's less than two decades since the American FDA approved it for the "treatment of glabellar frown lines", but since then Botox has become one of the words, such as "Kleenex", "Band-Aid" or "Xerox", that we use with amazing regularity.

» Forget artisan coffee roasters and tea rooms, IV drip bars are the latest hip hangouts in the US and UK where health conscious movers and shakers meet, mingle and get their fix. Some of the celebrity proponents of the new saline solution to hangovers, headaches, jet lag and general fatigue include Madonna, Brad Pitt, Cindy Crawford and music industry mogul Simon Cowell.

» One of the most frequent complaints I hear from my patients are ones that concern those dreaded dark circles under the eyes. Many reveal that even when they feel energised and rested they are told by well-meaning meddlers that they "look tired" or "should get more sleep". Despite what most people seem to think, fatigue isn't the only cause of dark circles under the eyes. While alcohol and late nights can both contribute, there are many other different causes for the "panda eye complex".

» No matter how much we treat our skin on the surface, all the treatments are superficial and the results are not going to last for very long. To actually have clearer, glowing skin, it's essential to cleanse the body from the inside by reducing internal impurities. Radiant skin comes from a healthy, toxin-free body while blemished, pale skin is often the result of harmful toxins being ingested by the body.
