BA Institute now in London

The secret of why older French women look so damn young has just arrived in the UK. Fair enough, I have an aversion to needles, but for those of you who don't and might want to regularly partake in a bit of face jabbing, the BA Institute is the premier place to do it... Voluma, Surgiderm, Surgilips, Surgilift and all hyaluronic acid-based (ingredient du jour). Men, if you fancy a bit of filling out (in the face, that is) get out the crackberry and start dialing as they offer men's treatments too.
