Fashion Quarterly and Restylane put on a great night of beauty for 30 Days fans.
Appearance medicine is dear to our hearts at Fashion Quarterly. We’re all about looking our very best – but still keeping it real. So it was a most informative evening, complete with Lindauer bubbles, at the ‘Refresh Your Skin with Restylane’ event at ACP’s Fashion & Beauty Central in Newmarket on September 22. Clinic 42 doctors Joanna Romanowska, Lynn Theron and Ellen Selkon are skilled in the subtleties of dermal filler use and ran through a list of celebrities who are good examples of appearance medicine – and not so good. Prizes for guessing Raquel Welch’s age? Our winner from the audience guessed 71 correctly, although you wouldn’t know it because she looks so fresh without going too far, unlike Joan Rivers, who looks considerably older than her 78 years precisely because she’s had too much work done.
Next, two models talked us through the filler treatments they’d had done the previous day at Clinic 42, along with ‘before’ images. The reaction from the room was a definite “you wouldn’t know it!”
Restylane’s clinical manager Debi Bottema then gave the room a rundown on the joys of hyaluronic acid in the Restylane skincare range and how it does wonders by attracting moisture to the skin and plumping it up.
Nothing unites woman like the guessing game of ‘who’s had what done’, although beauty director Trudi Brewer and I were happy to give the lowdown on our positive experiences with Restylane and just where we’d had it.
