Part 1 >>Do non-surgical face-lift treatments work?

Results

Before their non surgical face lifts, the depths of the women's wrinkles were recorded, along with photographic face maps.

It's now time for some follow up photographs. Has there been a dramatic change? The man with the results is Dermatest Lab director, John Staton.

"Well the results were quite impressive, all of the test subjects were actually able to show some improvement," he says.

But just how much improvement are we talking about? According to the results, Dianne's wrinkle depth reduced by 49 percent, Barbara's by 39 percent and Ruth's by 23 percent.

Skin tightening: 49 percent
Botox: 39 percent
Face cream: 23 percent

So the skin rejuvenation and tightening treatment appears to be slightly more effective than the Botox injections and twice as effective as Ruth's cream.

"I didn't think the cream would have much of a benefit, but I have seen results so I'm quite pleased," Ruth says.

Dianne too liked her results: "The skin tone is so much nicer and more even, so I'm really excited about that."

"I could really see a big difference … it was very noticeable," says Barbara.

Remember, you don't have to spend a lot of money to look good. Here are some tips.

• * Stay out of the sun as much as possible and when you are in it, make sure you're wearing a hat, sunglasses and a good sunscreen.
• * Use a skin cream which contains fruit acids, salicylic acid and vitamin A for maximum maintenance.
• * Eat a balanced diet and avoid losing weight suddenly.
• * Don't smoke.

At the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, wrinkles or not. But an added tip for keeping your skin looking young and healthy is to use a good moisturiser every day.

Fast facts

• * Which side of our face is likely to have the most lines? The right side. People who drive cars a lot have the right side of their face exposed to the sun, causing more damage to the skin on that side.
