The obsession with year-round tans and wrinkle-free complexions has led to an explosion in salons offering injectable fillers, laser treatments and chemical peels.

We may have got used to the idea of injectable fillers for the face; now it's body recontouring that's the growth industry.

I researched various locations in my area to get injectable fillers.

Options here include dermabrasion, shaving the scar down to skin level, laser therapy, cutting and restitching, and using injectable fillers to smooth the scar out.

Just as injectable fillers - using collagen or similar proteins - give sagging and thinning skin a firmer appearance, lacklustre hair can be plumped up, too.
