[edit] About the show

With the help of experts the participant of the show is given a complete make over in an attempt to make them look 10 Years Younger. At the start of the programme the person's age is guessed by 100 people on the street and an average is taken. From this average the target image is set. At the end of the show this happens again to see the results. The approach is almost exclusively superficial and the make over invariably includes cosmetic surgery (no counter-arguments to this approach are presented).
