I don&#8217;t have a problem with self-esteem or body image: I don&#8217;t feel pressured to conform to any kind of beauty ideal and I don&#8217;t even mind getting older really. Call it reckless but I just enjoy these adventures. The desire for self-modification is surely the oldest of biological impulses, so I explore the frontiers of my vanity with fearlessness &#8211; I&#8217;ll take whatever science can offer, shamelessly, even enthusiastically. Thus far, no regrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEEK 1&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday: I&#8217;m a little nervous of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/dermal-fillers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">injectible <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/dermal-fillers\">f<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/dermal-fillers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illers<\/a>. A touch too much and it&#8217;s either pillow-face or porno lips. But I agree to try out Dermal Fillers &#8211; a new product which is fine enough to be used to hydrate and rejuvenate the delicate under-eye area. Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi, who I&#8217;ve seen for other treatments, injects it in tiny little drops. It doesn&#8217;t hurt and I don&#8217;t look weird, just a bit less tired. I do develop a huge bruise, though. The Future Husband, usually sanguine about my beauty adventures, is sympathetic &#8211; until I confess it&#8217;s self-inflicted. Then he calls me silly. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to argue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To view Dr Ayoubi in the Media&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/lma\/media-articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/lma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dr_Ayham_Al_Ayoubi_Fillers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beauty diaries part 1: The hi-tech experimentalist<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Ayoubi about Ellanse &#8211; September 2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2051,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18],"class_list":["post-2050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-articles","tag-anti-wrinkle-injections","tag-breast-augmentation","tag-cellulaze","tag-cellulite","tag-collagen-stimulation","tag-collagen-stimulation-and-co2-laser","tag-dermal-fillers","tag-ellanse","tag-sculptra","tag-silhouette-soft","tag-smartlipo","tag-velashape","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 -
