Age-less: The Definitive Guide to Botox, Collagen, Lasers, Peels, and Other Solutions for Flawless Skin
From Publishers Weekly

Dr. Brandt explains how these procedures can help stave off the anti-aging process for those of us “ordinary” folk who have accepted the looks we were born with and don’t want to completely alter them (like one celebrity who has been in the news lately); we just want to look as refreshed as we feel.
