HAS SHE OR HASN’T SHE?

Rugby’s London Style Cosmetic Clinic Gives Views Over Madonna’s Latest Age-Defying Look

Often labeled as the master or rather mistress of reinvention, the original Material Girl herself, Madonna, has unveiled a new look that well and truly defies her 52 years.

She looked nothing less than stunning as she stepped out to attend her recent birthday bash giving rise to much speculation as to how she seemed to have literally erased 20 years in one fell swoop.

She has always been adamant that she has not yet resorted to the scalpel to enhance her looks although it is thought that she has succumbed to the revolutionary new ribbon lift which gently lifts the skin to reveal a taut surface.

However in the view of Dr. Andrew Greenwood at the exclusive Cawston Manor Clinic in Rugby, to achieve this youthful visage the legendary queen of pop would have had a mix of fillers and BOTOX® procedures to restore the soft contours of the face and result in her fresh faced look.

Dr. Greenwood commented:  “Whilst invasive procedures are highly effective, what they don’t do is recreate the skin’s natural plumpness.

“The syringe therefore is both replacing and indeed enhancing the scalpel for many seeking to regain their youthful bloom, defy the signs of ageing or simply enhance the natural beauty they already possess and I would strongly suggest that Madonna is no exception.

Certainly injectables are less expensive than surgery; they have little or no ‘downtime’ and offer effective, rapid cosmetic solutions which can be performed professionally yet simply and speedily.

“Improvements are often seen immediately with the result being a dewy and fresh faced look erasing the telltale signs of time.”

Lines and furrows can be smoothed and softened by BOTOX® or fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm Ultra which can last up to 12 months and offer a smoother more natural result than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, and the revolutionary Sculptra, labelled a liquid facelift, which restores facial volume, resulting in younger, plumper, fresher looking skin.

Indeed Sculptra® is fast becoming a favourite among those seeking a quick but enduring fix as it can last for up to three years, and like Juvederm, it has received approval from the respected FDA – the United States Food and Drug Administration which rubber stamps its safety and efficacy. (Sculptra® stimulates the body’s own collagen to smooth out lines and restore volume and is a gradual, but longer lasting treatment which can last up to two years.)

And it’s not just the face which can benefit from injectables. The hands, most often neglected in terms of anti-ageing prevention but one of the first areas to give away the truth of advancing years, can be treated with the filler Radiesse which plumps and smoothes for up to 18 months and in view of recent pictures Dr. Greenwood said that this is another procedure which Madonna is also likely to have taken advantage of.

Dr. Greenwood continued:  “Injectables have advanced significantly in the last few years meaning formulations are safer and more effective than ever before. Results may last up to six months or more depending on the type of treatment and the client.”
