If you've seen the latest pop videos doing the rounds, you will recognise that fashion contact lenses have replaced the tanning bed as the hottest beauty trend for young adults.
Not everything that we think makes us beautiful is good for us - in fact, some beauty trends can be downright dangerous, especially when administered by the wrong hands.
Today, Hong Kong's most popular beauty trends include non-invasive prevention of skin ageing, using lasers, biological fillers, radiofrequency or Botulinum toxin (Botox), says Stephen Chow, dermatologist and aesthetic physician at DrHealthBeauty Medical Skin Care & Laser Centre.
Eyelash enhancement using Lumigan and full-face enhancement via biological fillers are also popular, he says.
In addition to their obvious visual impact, such trends are popular because they are non- or minimally invasive. And, if performed by professionals, their side-effects are minimal and the result is good.
While such treatments are used for their aesthetic impact, they are not entirely without risk, particularly when not obtained from experienced and qualified professionals.
'There are many potential side-effects,' Chow says. 'But, in general, it is very safe if it is done by an experienced doctor.'
