It’s one of those treatments that sounds really quite terrifying but in actual fact it’s anything but. Granted, the term ‘skin’ and ‘needling’ as a descriptive hardly sounds like an enjoyable time, and with A-List celebrities posting on Instagram their blotchy faces immediately post-treatment, it is no wonder there is a great deal of misinformation (and a great deal of fear-mongering) out there about this very simple, and very effective, anti-ageing technique.

Skin whisperer Kim Tran is known for her investigative approach to skincare and the incredible results that follow so when she told me about a brand new treatment that could help with dull-looking skin, uneven skin tone, visible pores and ageing, I could not make my way to her beautiful North Perth clinic La Belle Peau fast enough.

Granted, the term ‘skin’ and ‘needling’ as a descriptive hardly sounds like an enjoyable time, and with A-List celebrities posting on Instagram their blotchy faces immediately post-treatment, it is no wonder there is a great deal of misinformation (and a great deal of fear-monering) out there about this very simple, and very effective, anti-ageing technique.

Fat freezing, or cryolipolysis as it’s known in the industry, is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. While not a particularly new treatment, it has gone from niche (read: really expensive) to mainstream over the past couple of years, predominantly due to huge leaps in the technology used and subsequent (albeit, slight) price drops per treatment making it a far more affordable and realistic way to remove stubborn fat from the parts of your body that just straight up refuse to budge.

Summer is well and truly here, and your beauty routine will need to change in order to accommodate the warmer weather. If you're prone to sweat it up once the mercury tops 25 (and let's face it, our balmy climate just about guarantees it) you're going to need to keep reading for some summer beauty tips to keep you feeling, and looking, fresh.

It sold out in less than 24 hours in the UK and USA, instantly becoming one of the most hyped about product launches of 2018, and now, finally Australia, we can get our hands on cult beauty brand Summer Fridays’ Jet Lag Mask without having to take out a personal loan for international postage.

If you could literally turn back time, erase the years of irresponsible sun damage, frown lines, pigmentation—would you?
