Compensation battle over wrinkle treatment

Syringe Rex Features

Ninety women who paid thousands of pounds for a ‘miracle’ cure for wrinkles are seeking compensation after claims the procedure didn’t work.

The disgruntled women claim the clinics, including several in Harley Street, encouraged them to have the collagen-based treatment, but it did nothing to diminish the signs of ageing.

An estimated 7,000 women signed up for the procedure, which involved removing ageing skin cells, re-growing them, and then re-injecting them.

Each litigant is seeking a payout of at least £5,000, potentially making this the most expensive cosmetic surgery lawsuit in the UK.

The Californian-based manufacturers of the treatment, Isolagen, used actress, Emma Samms, from the hit TV show Dynasty, to promote the product, which they took off the market in Britain last March.

I can not believe, well I can it's just a figure of speech. Ladies we are all going to get old there is no miracle wrinkle stopper. Stop wasting your money on different products just stick to a good moisturiser and keep out of the sun. Live a lot, love a lot, laugh a lot and you will not care about wrinkles.
