INSTANT BEAUTY(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　A guide to the top ten minimally invasive cosmetic procedures,
from Botox to lasers to peels, which can help you look younger
quickly and safely
　　No one likes to hear this, but we have only .01 second to make a
first impression. But what’s the best way to look good? Makeup,
hairstyles, and clothing–not to mention a friendly smile–can of
course make a big difference, but for the thousands of Americans
who would like an extra edge, nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are
the answer.
　　But which procedures really work? How safe are they? And are they
worth the time and money? From Botox to microdermabrasion to lasers
to chemical peels, there are so many choices that it can be hard to
tell what’s hype and what’s helpful. In Instant Beauty, prominent
Chicago cosmetic surgeon Steven Dayan, M.D., gives readers an
easy-to-use no-nonsense guide to the top ten nonsurgical
procedures, grading each for safety, effectiveness, and value. He
explains the claims and the realities for each treatment, and lets
you know exactly what to expect so that you can make the decision
about what treatments are right for you.
　　In addition, Dr. Dayan gives sound advice on the best treatments
for every age and every condition, and teaches readers what to look
for in a cosmetic physician. He also briefly describes common
surgical procedures, and clearly indicates who should and should
not get each treatment.
　　Instant Beauty is a straightforward and comprehensive guide for
anyone interested in taking advantage of the remarkable
breakthroughs in medical technology to look and feel better and
younger–at any age!
