Remove Fat & Streamline The Body Using Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unsuccessfully trying to lose weight and tone up the body can make you feel demoralised, especially if you have tried to lose the unwanted excess fat by eating healthily and exercising. Those who have struggled over time trying to improve problem areas on the body, might find that vaser lipo is the  kick-start they need to get in control of their weight and body shape. Vaser lipo can take away the fat, improving the shape and making the body look slimmer and toned.

Vaser lipo is a fat removal treatment targeting problem areas and taking away your unwanted fat. It can sculpt and define the body, giving you a sleeker, smoother body shape and can help to put your body in proportion. The results that you'll see will vary, depending on the amount of fat that you have removed, and on how many areas that you have treated in a single procedure. Vaser lipo does take time for the body to settle down after treatment, but for some people, amazing results are there to see right away after the procedure, others will notice a difference, but will see the best results months later.


The ideal candidates for vaser lipo treatment should:
*  have skin that is still elastic
*  be in good general health
*  have fat deposits that is hard to lose with only diet or exercise
*  be within or close to their BMI
*  want to get a more aesthetic pleasing body shape

Vaser Lipo uses ultrasound energy to break up fat, its innovative technology respects the veins, nerves, blood vessels and surrounding tissue, leaving them relatively intact. The liquefied fat is then removed through a gentle suction process giving optimal body sculpting and fast results.


The body won't replace the fat cells removed by vaser lipo, meaning a long-lasting change in body shape can easily be maintained by keeping up a regular exercise program and eating healthily. Younger people with firm elastic skin will tend to have better results with lipo treatment, because as we get older the skin tends to become looser and less elastic and doesn't tighten so readily around the new shape.

Post op care after treatment is essential and it's important that you follow the after-care instructions given to you by your doctor, as any shortcuts can affect your results. It's essential that you make sure your treated areas are kept smooth, using either ultrasound or massage and you must wear the compression garment to get the best results possible.

Men Can Also Benefit From Botox & Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't influence what effects the passage of time has on our skin, but we can try minimising its impact. Men today seem more aware of the cosmetic treatments available to them and have a more open attitude towards using them, to stay looking youthful. It isn't just women who want to look their best, these days men are also paying extra attention to their appearance. When it comes to getting older, we tend to think that men improve with age more than women, believing that men grow older in a more distinguished way.


Ageing happens to us all, but whatever age we are, it's never too early to start looking after our skin and maintaining our appearance. Lots of older, mature men look fantastic for their age, sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes it's because they've had a bit of help along the way. Anti-ageing treatments for men have become increasingly common place and the numbers of men having cosmetic treatments are on the rise.

Men have the same basic concerns about ageing as women. They want to soften the signs of ageing and look as good possible for their age and there are many subtle, undetectable treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and microdermabrasion which can help.

Men seek anti-ageing treatments for certain things:
  • Lines and wrinkles - Botox can lessen and soften the wrinkles which are present even on the relaxed resting face. Frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crows feet can all benefit from botox injections.
  • A tired appearance - It's annoying when we look overly tired despite getting adequate sleep. Eye bags, dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes (tear troughs) are particular concerns, which dermal fillers can rectify. Dermal fillers can also soften deep lines and furrows on the face and replace lost volume to gaunt cheeks.
  • Pigmentation - Age spots, mild scars, fine lines and sun damage are signs of ageing that can easily be treated with microdermabrasion, which can dramatically improve the skin's texture and tone.

The popularity for cosmetic procedures isn't just restricted to younger men; men of all ages seek cosmetic treatments to improve their looks, to slow down the signs of ageing and to give them healthy-looking skin. The number of men undergoing anti-ageing cosmetic treatments has dramatically risen in the last decade and some men now spend as much time caring for their appearance as women do.

Lose Unwanted Fat Using Vaser Lipo at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Many of us have an unfavourable relationship with our body image, and when we feel insecure about our body it can become very easy to look at ourselves and only see the things we don't like. Innocent comments about our body shape can make us sensitive about the way we see ourselves, making us worry about how we think other people are judging us. Around 67% of people feel that they are overweight, and if we aren't happy about the way our body looks, then it's not hard to see why we feel insecure.


It's a fact that if you feel comfortable in the clothes you're wearing, then you'll feel more confident, which goes to show that you should always make sure you buy the correct size for your body and always wear clothes that fit properly. Sizes change from shop to shop so you mustn't get hung up about the size written on the label, if you need to try the next size up - do it. Clothes that are ill-fitting or too tight will only make you look bigger than you really are.

Things to remember:
*  Accept that all bodies come in different shapes and sizes.
*  Don't forget, nobody is perfect.
*  Exercise helps to maintain a healthy body image.
*  Think positive. While we think we look fat and lumpy, other people may find us really attractive.
Eating healthily will help you keep your weight steady and boost your confidence.
*  It's perfectly normal for our weight and body shape to fluctuate weekly and monthly.
*  When looking in the mirror, focus on your good features and give yourself some compliments.
*  Remember that the people who love you, love you for you, and not for what you look like.

Things we shouldn't do:
*  Don't let your body shape define who, or what you are.
*  Try not to let obsessions with your body stop you from getting closer to others.
*  Don't judge others on the basis of their appearance, body size, or shape.
*  Don't think we're the only ones worrying about our body, many people also struggle with this.
*  Don't believe that all thin people are happy with their bodies, we all dislike some part of our body.


Sometimes, even after exercising regularly and eating healthily, we nearly have the body shape we are happy with but we're left with small pockets of fat that won't go away. If you want to get rid of this unwanted fat, then vaser lipo is a cosmetic treatment that can help. Vaser lipo treatments will remove the fat and give precision shaping and contouring on your body for a natural-looking result. It's a gentle treatment, giving you instant results.

Define The Chin & Jaw Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the first things we notice about the face starting to look older, is the loss of volume, which may happen because of the natural ageing process, or we might notice it when we lose weight, but even those with athletic, slim bodies can experience diminished volume in the face, resulting in hollows and loss of definition.

There are many cosmetic techniques that can restore facial volume to give a youthful, natural appearance. Dermal fillers offer a safe, non-invasive method of replacing volume loss, restoring facial balance, creating symmetry and improving the definition on features such as the chin, eyes, cheeks and jaw line.


Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment for:
* Lip Enhancement - giving the lips more definition
* Lip Augmentation - adding volume, giving the lips a fuller appearance
* Tear Troughs - to add volume and correct the hollows under and around the eyes
* Lip Creases - softening the depth of smokers lines around the mouth
* Nasolabial Folds - correcting the deep grooves at the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth
* Cheek Enhancement - enhancing and contouring the cheeks, to create higher cheekbones
* Jowls Correction - defining the jaw line to create a more defined, attractive line
* Marionette Lines - to lessen the lines that give you a turned down smile
* Nose - straightening out bumps, lifting the tip or improving the nose shape
* Chin - to define and change the contours of your chin

You might have always been quite happy with the shape of your face, but everything on the body changes as we get older and the chin is no exception. You may notice small changes over time; your chin can decrease in size and the jaw line can change shape. Dermal filler can easily be injected into the chin, to make it seem more prominent or increase the definition. Most women want to have a softer contoured chin, while men prefer to have a more masculine chiselled chin.


Dermal fillers for chin augmentation can:
  • Improve the symmetry of the chin
  • Improve self-confidence
  • Give a defined, stronger jaw line to improve the appearance
  • Gently reshape a weak chin
  • Achieve a completely natural looking result
Re-shaping the chin using dermal filler will add definition, balance and symmetry to the chin using long-lasting dermal fillers in a non-surgical treatment. Dermal filler injections will improve an under developed chin, restoring a natural balance to the face.

Improve Your Skin Texture With A Chemical Peel - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we feel that our skin has lost its youthful glow, most of us will put it down to ageing. Lots of us think the skin will automatically start to get dull and wrinkly as we get older, however, achieving a glowing complexion and a flawless skin is possible whatever age we are.

There are many ways to improve the skin's condition and one of the best beauty treatments to do this, is a chemical peel. These peels come in many forms and can work wonders. They are ideal for those looking for a treatment that can lessen lines and wrinkles, as well as restoring the radiance on your face. There are no needles, injections or surgical procedures involved, making it an easy and painless way to get youthful looking skin.

Chemical Peels can help to:
  • Reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth
  • Improve the look and texture of the skin
  • Reduce age spots, freckles and pigmentation on the skin
  • Improve mild scars
  • Treat certain types of acne
  • Treat wrinkles caused by sun-damage and ageing

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers medical peels which are easy and stress-free treatments. Firstly there's a thorough cleansing of the treatment area, before applying the chemical solution. The peel solution creates a controlled wound and this will let new and healthy skin form in its place.

Chemical peels can benefit:

* Fine lines. Peels work by dissolving dead cells. The solution causes the surface of the skin to peel away, and after it heals it will show healthier, tighter layers of skin.
* Acne. Chemical peels are effective in treating acne, also helping to lessen mild acne scarring, by penetrating the surface layer of the skin which will aid in the shedding of dead cells.
* Uneven Skin Tone/ Pigmentation. Too much melanin in the skin is responsible for darker patches on the skin, which can easily be treated with chemical peels.
* Chemical peels can restore the texture of dry, sensitive or oily skin. Getting rid of the unwanted dead cells will give fresher skin, and tighter brighter and smaller pores. It's a good treatment to bring new and fresh cells to the surface.

Chemical peels are pain-free, and there's minimal skin shredding, flaking, irritation and redness. A face peel can promote growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which thickens the skin and improves resistance to the effects of ageing, and they will make your face look fresher and improve its texture and tone.

Replace Lost Volume in the Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has plump apple cheeks, smooth contours and a natural glow, but as we get older, we lose volume due to the loss of collagen, which takes away this natural glow. Keeping our face looking youthful is achievable using injectable treatments and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Dermal fillers can enhance your cheeks by filling in lost volume and bringing back a smoother, fuller and healthier look to your skin. Filler containing hyaluronic acid is a very good choice because of its excellent compatibility with the human body, making it ideal to erase facial wrinkles and lines and replace volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found the body and when used in a filler it acts as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells.


Filler is used to:
*  Create higher cheekbones
*  Minimise harsh angles creating a smoother cheek contour
*  Give the cheek a natural curve
*  Fill in hollow cheeks

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately they don't come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheek, making them seem hollow and gaunt but using facial filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this, and bring the back the symmetry of the face. The three main landmarks on the face are the nose, cheeks and chin, and the facial structure might seem unbalanced when one of these is out of proportion.

A practitioner will inject dermal filler into the hollow areas, and you'll immediately notice the difference as the wrinkles vanish and the sunken areas get more volume. When our body's own collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin, and temporarily replenish the skin's volume.


Facial fillers are a simple solution and they offer many benefits:
  • They're minimally invasive
  • Results are instantly visible, although the full results may take a couple of weeks to appear
  • Procedure takes less than an hour
  • Minimal downtime required after the treatment
  • Results will last from nine months to a year
The dermal filler will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones. Higher, fuller cheeks can enhance your appearance, balance your other facial features and instantly restore your face to a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are ideal for those who want to look younger and fresher without the need for invasive surgery. They can work wonders for skin that has wrinkles and volume loss and these treatments are a wonderful option to fight the signs of ageing.

Laser Treatment For Skin Pigmentation - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Pigmentation on our skin is a common and usually harmless condition, which occurs when patches of skin become darker in colour, causing an uneven skin tone. We'll start to notice that patches of skin such as freckles and age spots will often appear on the skin as we reach 40, as this is when our skin begins its true ageing process. As we age our skin is less able to repair sun damage, like it did when we were younger.

Pigmentation is a skin condition that occurs in people, usually due to an unhealthy or higher production of a pigment called melanin. Pigment decides the colour of our skin, hair and eyes and people with a darker skin tone will have more melanin in their skin cells than those with lighter skin, and if the skin cells become damaged or unhealthy, it will affect the melanin production, which in turn, will affect your skin. Higher production of melanin causes a number of skin problems, such as dark spots, dark patches, uneven skin tone, and dark circles.


Pigmentation can happen for many reasons: over exposure to the sun, genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions or as a result of burns and it can also become more obvious as we get older, causing liver and age spots which if left untreated can worsen. Some pigmentation disorders just affect certain patches of skin, and while these patches aren't harmful, they can cause some distress.

Advanced laser technology can help resolve skin pigmentation problems, resurfacing the top layers of the skin and causing sun damage and pigmentation to disappear. It offers us a safe, effective and easy way to treat irregular pigmentation. Laser treatment works by damaging the top layers of the skin, forcing the collagen to kick in and start repairing the damage, so after a few weeks the skin will looker plumper and revitalised. The laser system resurfaces the skin and as the laser stimulates the collagen production, you'll see a continuous improvement in texture and smoothness of the skin over several months.


Most clients experience minimal discomfort, although some might experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin during the laser delivery, but a topical anaesthetic cream before the treatment begins will make it more comfortable. Afterwards, the skin on the treated areas will become darker, but this will flake off after a few days. You'll most likely be able to see an improvement in skin tone and texture as soon as the redness fades after the first treatment.

Depending on the size of the affected area, the treatment sessions can take between five to thirty minutes. A single treatment session will get the desired result, but sometimes two laser treatments may be needed, taken one month apart. The results of laser treatment are permanent.

Replace Volume on Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the effects of ageing than the face. Some people think lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others want to turn the clock back and regain their youthful look. Luckily we can rejuvenate the face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments.

Nasolabial folds are the indentation lines on either side of the mouth that start from the edge of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. These lines become more prominent when we smile and laugh, and unfortunately, over time these expressions create permanent and unwanted smile lines. Nasolabial folds develop because our facial muscles get weaker as we get older, and though some people feel they are a natural part of ageing, many others don't like them.


Both men and women start to notice nasolabial lines as they age and this happens when we lose volume in the cheeks and upper face. The area starts to sag, causing the fold of the cheek into the nose area. We can effectively use dermal fillers on male and female faces to replace volume and structure to the ageing face in the cheek and nasolabial region.

Nasolabial folds become more noticeable due to a variety of factors, including:
  • Sun exposure, which damages the skin, causing wrinkles and changes in texture
  • Loss of collagen with age, making the skin weaker and thinner
  • Loss of fat, which can make the cheeks and nearby regions look saggy
The deepening of nasolabial folds are a common concern that affects many people and they occur when gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks, Gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold, and they generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.


Dermal fillers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments used to restore the loss of volume in the face. Dermal fillers work together with the remaining collagen and elastin in the body, to replace the volume that's lost through ageing, as well as smoothing out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins that keep the skin looking plump and youthful begins to drop from the age of twenty-five, and it's when these levels decrease when you start noticing the signs of ageing.

Dermal fillers can successfully replace volume in the face, smoothing out the creases, folds and wrinkles. Fillers are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery for replacing the volume that's been lost through facial ageing. The results achieved by using dermal fillers for the nasolabial folds are stunning and very natural looking.

Tear Troughs - Fill In Eye Hollows With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fresh looking eyes are a big asset to our overall facial appearance, we want to make a good first impression when we meet someone, we don't want them to only notice how tired and drawn we look. As we get older our face changes, and we begin to notice things like loss of volume and the skin getting thinner, and this, along with a natural decrease in fatty tissue and a loss of skin elasticity will cause the area beneath the eye to become puffy and shadowy.

The natural depression that follows the curve of the eye socket, from the nose around to the underside of the eye is known as the tear trough, because that’s where the tears gather. Getting dark circles beneath the eyes are a common problem as we age, and they can make us look weary. As well as ageing; smoking, the environment and stress can also contribute to shadows and eye bags, making them look worse.


When we're young, distribution of fat in our face is even, with some fat pockets plumping up the cheeks, forehead, temples and around the eyes and the mouth. As we get older, we lose volume as the fat shifts downward, making the features that were once rounded start to sink and become gaunt. This means that other parts of the face gain some fat, which tends to settle under the chin and around the jowls in the neck.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and we can see the underlying capillaries much easier compared to other parts of the face, making any diminished circulation, puffiness or swelling much more noticeable. Replacing volume in the under eye area can reshape the entire face and dermal fillers are now regularly used to fill in the hollows. Filling in these depressions can take away the tired look on your face and lighten the dark circles around the eyes.

Tear trough treatment will:
  • Banish dark circles and bags from under the eye
  • Ease wrinkles and lines
  • Add volume to the under-eye area
  • Get instant results that will last around 6-8 months
  • Leave you feeling and looking more youthful


Tear trough treatment using dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that can restore your looks instantly. The filler gets precisely injected into the skin using very fine needles, re-creating the plump, firm skin that your under eye area used to have. A good cosmetic doctor with experience of injecting dermal fillers will have a trained eye for what looks good and what will suit your face. It's important to avoid an overdone and unnatural look, aiming instead for natural-looking results to make you look younger and more refreshed.
