Today, I am going to do an overview of Aesthetic treatments, and share with you GOLDEN principles to beauty.
Everyone wants to fulfil the highest, purest, truest expression of yourself. As taken from Oprah.
Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.
Your greatest beauty is when you express yourself.
If something is important enough, you do it, even if your critics tell you otherwise.

Bone – Bony resorption occurs and our chin, maxilla and orbits become gradually sunken.
Soft Tissue – We lost volume in our cheeks, temples and lips.
The cartoons below elegantly demonstrates this.
