Thermage

“Remodelled

collagen! Eye

bags reduced!

Fewer wrinkles!

Thermage claims

to do all this. So,

when our beauty

ed asked if I

wanted it around

my eyes, I jumped.

Katherine Millar-

Shannon from

Duquessa Clinic

& Spa took her

Star Wars-like

contraption and

pulsed the skin

around each eye

for about 20

minutes – it felt

strangely hot/

cold. Pain factor:

about a six (with

10 equal to laser

on your bikini

line). Afterwards,

my eyes looked

refreshed and,

yes, less wrinkly.

I’m told it will last

up to six months.

It doesn’t come

cheap at $1.5–2K,

but it’s a winner.”

Gut-based beauty is big news. “Your gut is where

70 per cent of your immune system lies, where

you make nutrients, make detoxifying enzymes,

metabolise hormones and neutralise pathogens.

It is key to good health and radiant beauty,” says

The Beauty Chef, Carla Oates. Go back for seconds
