They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but for people that suffer from a lack of confidence because they do not feel they are attractive, this is of little comfort. The plethora of glossy magazines that promote a perfect image do not help either. It is one thing to say that confidence comes from within, but often a person needs to enhance their image to gain it. We take a look at some of the options on the market for attaining a red carpet look, using hair transplants, tooth whitening and St Tropez tans.

Hair transplants may sound like a drastic option, but for people who suffer from hair loss due to illness, it can be a traumatic affliction. There are several celebrities that have opted to have a hair transplant to complete their superstar look. The procedure involves taking donor hairs from the back of the head and transplanting them on the area that is thinning. Having a hair transplant can make both men and women look years younger, especially when combined with other makeover tactics.

Having a tan gives an impression of health and vitality, but spending too much time in the sun can be very bad for a person\'s health. The risk of skin cancer is high and the effects of sun damage on the skin will make a person look a lot older, not younger! Fake tans have become increasingly popular with celebrities, and the general public are embracing it too. To get a great tan without spending a week in the Bahamas, we recommend indulging in a St Tropez tanning session. The process is simple. A warmed tanning booth sprays you all over to the shade of your choice and within a few hours, you are left with a stunning tan. Make sure that you exfoliate thoroughly beforehand and moisturise well after.

The other trademark celebrity look is a set of perfect pearly whites. Teeth whitening kits can be bought over the counter at a chemist, or a dentist can use a special mixture to whiten teeth professionally. A bleaching agent is applied to a whitening tray and left on the teeth for up to half an hour. This is a cheaper option than having veneers fitted, and the process can be done regularly to achieve an even whiter look. Some people may be sensitive to the mixture, or have teeth that will not respond to whitening. We recommend that the advice of a professional is sought.
