Since the early days, people have been fixated with reversing the aging process. This package presents an in-depth look into the aesthetic business by uncovering the latest trends in cosmetic treatments and the risks involved when regulation is lax and evidence lax. The second part delves deeper than the physical by examining controversial therapies.
