Leslie Ash - Face to Face ITV

This was a strange programme in that it seemed to start as an investigative programme with Leslie's intention to prevent individuals receiving the kind of poor practice that she received several years ago. However, as it progressed she 'arranged' a botox party (don't you think it odd that they were all happy to be on camera??). Her point seemed to be that people are so keen to attend that they'll ignore the practitioner's credentials. In actual fact it seemed to be that the attendees were so keen to be on camera they ignored anything!! I wonder what the invitation said?- 'Come to a party and have free champagne and be on television and we'll discuss botox!!'??? Funnily enough despite her ordeal over the last few years, when asked if she'd had botox, she clearly intimated that she had!
As it continued she attended a training centre for beauticians and the programme seemed to spend more time showing this place than the training centre for doctors and nurses!!! She actually said that the medical training was in a different league.
By the end of the programme she was in full support of cosmetic treatment and referred to her friend Toyah Wilcox who's career was said to have been boosted since having treatment at the age of 50.
If there was any conclusion to this convoluted journey it was that she'd recommend getting treatment from an experienced medical practitioner.
In my view, from watching the programme, I'd also recommend finding one with skin experience. This one comes highly recommended- http://www.dermalclinic.co.uk/dermal-clinic-about-us.html
