Vaser Lipo Treatment for Men - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days men have definite ideas on how they want their body to look, and unfortunately those without the so-called ideal body can feel embarrassed and self-conscious, thinking that the less muscle they have, the less masculine they are. Lots of men are determined to get their body looking as good as it possibly can by eating healthily and putting in the hours at the gym, and while most of them do manage to lose some of the unwanted weight and build up some muscle, unfortunately, even after months of hard work sometimes they find that getting definition on the abdomen just isn't happening.

Men who are striving to get an athletic body can feel frustrated when they've put in all the hard work and they're slimmer and fitter, but still haven't got the exact look they were after, and they are left with stubborn areas of fat that just won't shift. This is where Vaser Lipo is an ideal solution. Vaser Lipo treatment works best on people who eat healthily, have a good exercise routine and are close to their ideal weight, however they are still troubled by stubborn fat deposits in certain areas.

Advantages of Vaser Lipo include:

• Precision - Vaser Lipo delivers a precise body contouring treatment which allows extraction of both large and small volumes of fat from different parts of the body, creating an aesthetically pleasing result when sculpting muscle definition.
• Skin retraction - the Vaser ultrasound high energy promotes retraction of the skin, which leaves the body with smooth contours.
• Speedy recovery - Vaser is a gentle ultrasound procedure with less downtime for the client.
• Safety - Vaser Lipo is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that rids the body of excess fat while using a local aesthetic.

Vaser lipo can provide a quick, low-pain solution when you have resistant fat that you want gone.

Vaser's performed using local anaesthetic and the results are immediate.

Laser Treatment for Spider Veins on the Legs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, it's possible that tiny blood vessels can become dilated and look as though they are close to the surface of the skin. Both our skin, and our veins become weakened with age, and this can cause spider veins to look more visible on ageing or mature skin. These veins are fine purple or red wavy lines and they're known as broken, thread or spider veins.

Lots of people suffer from spider veins on the legs, which are blood vessels that can appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. They get their name from the shape of the veins, some which are quite small, while others are more noticeable. Finding visible dilated or broken blood vessels on the legs, especially when they can easily be seen by other people, can affect our confidence and self-esteem.

Spider veins are more likely to appear on women than on men and they are normally found on the legs, but unfortunately they can also appear on the face, breasts and arms. People, especially women, who have thread veins on the face and legs can find them embarrassing or unsightly, and it can affect their self-confidence.

There's no obvious cause for why we get thread veins, they tend to develop as we age, with the skin and blood vessels become less elastic. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and the menopause can also provoke their development, as well as the elements; too much sunbathing, exposure to wind or extreme temperatures. Although you may not like the look of them, thread veins aren't dangerous, but they tend to become larger and increase in number over time. Most spider veins aren't painful but they can cause us embarrassment.

Spider veins are like varicose veins, but smaller and nearer to the surface of the skin but while there's surgery to treat the larger varicose veins, laser treatment can help with the smaller veins. The safest, most effective treatment for spider veins is laser treatment.

The benefits of laser treatment include:
*  A fast and safe way to eradicate the thread veins on the legs
*  Thread veins will only recur in a small percentage of cases
*  Laser treatment can help to restore your self-confidence
*  Ongoing improvements seen after each treatment

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, during the treatment a laser gets applied to the skin directly above the spider veins. The energy from the laser is preferentially absorbed by coloured tissues and the energy causes the spider veins to heat up and collapse. After treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins.

Streamline Inner & Outer Thighs With Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The inner and outer thighs can become a problem area for lots of women, making them feel uncomfortable about displaying their legs in public, but the legs are often key to a shapely figure. Lots of us have lumps and bumps on our outer thighs which can really knock our confidence when we want to wear smooth, tight-fitting clothes that show off our figure.

The thighs are a notorious area of the body that are prone to storing excess fat, making it tricky when trying to find a pair of trousers that will comfortably fit both the upper, and lower half of the legs. Women tend to store fat on their thighs, making it hard for them to get a toned, smooth silhouette, and although the legs can look relatively slim throughout, the inner and outer thighs might be out of proportion to the rest of the body.

Fat deposits sitting anywhere on the body can make any weight loss difficult to achieve and traditional weight loss methods sometimes aren't enough to get rid of small pockets of stubborn fat. Excess fat on the legs can make you feel uncomfortable, but when it comes to streamlining the body, there are techniques and treatments available to help you to reach your goals.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can successfully remove stubborn localised pockets of fat, and improve the overall shape and contours of your thighs using Vaser Lipo. This treatment helps to create a natural silhouette that's suits the body and gives results that are dimple-free and symmetrical.

Vaser benefits:

• Once Vaser removes the fat, it won't return in that area
• It's a walk-in, walk-out procedure
• Minimal downtime and minimal time needed off work
• A specialised technique designed to minimise any discomfort and bruising
• The procedure uses local anaesthetic
• Transforms your legs in a single procedure
• Good skin retraction is possible

Vaser Lipo uses waves of ultrasound to send vibrations through the targeted area. After an anaesthetic solution gets injected, the thin Vaser probe gets inserted into the treatment area, and ultrasound energy targets the fat cells just under the top layer of skin. This liquefies the fat cells, gently breaking them up, before they are suctioned out with a cannula. The tiny incisions into the treatment area are usually made in the natural creases of the skin making them virtually unnoticeable afterwards. 

With Vaser Lipo treatment it's possible to shape your legs however you like. The recovery times are short, and the pain during the procedure is minimal as it's performed in a safe, non-invasive way, that leaves everything but the fat cells untouched, and undamaged.

Lip Filler To Define Your Lips & Restore Lost Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When you feel that your lips don't quite fit in with the other features of your face, or maybe you think you would like a better lip shape, well, you are not alone. One part of the face which attracts lots of attention is the mouth area, most especially the lips. As we get older, our skin becomes thinner and has less definition, and this can cause the lips to shrink, making you feel that your lips have lost their natural pout.

Lots of people aren't happy with their lips. They may feel they aren't symmetrical, or maybe they want just want fuller lips to enhance their appearance. Lip enhancement generally involves outlining and defining the lip border and lip augmentation involves making the body of the lips fuller. Lip filler treatment can either use both of these processes, or just give definition or just add volume, the choice is yours.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic one of our expert practitioners Dr Bassi or Dr Keiron, will expertly inject the fillers to balance out the lips and give natural looking results. Lips can start out thin and barely noticeable, and change into a sensual fuller look after just one visit to the cosmetic clinic. Lip fillers can smooth out fine lines around the mouth, define the edges and enhance and balance your facial features, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Before any treatment you will need to talk to your cosmetic doctor. During your consultation you must make the doctor aware of your preferences and let them know the result you want to end up with after the treatment. You can always ask to see before and after photo's of the clinics previous work on clients who have had lip enhancements.

Lip filler treatments will:

• Restore lost volume and shape
• Give more symmetry to the facial features
• Boost confidence in regard to their appearance

Dermal fillers can enhance the overall volume of the lips and by inserting the fillers around the lip edge, will help to improve the contour and shaping of the lips. We use hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers, which is a substance that's non animal based and is naturally found in the body.

At Selston, lip fillers are one of the most popular treatments, due to their ability to give you a fuller pout and give you back the lip volume you had when you were younger. So whether you wish to either, define your lips or restore lost volume by adding plumpness, then this treatment will definitely be the right one for you.

Increase The Skin's Firmness & Elasticity with Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Once we have reached our thirties, our skin cells begin to lose collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This can cause a loss of volume in our face, and we can get dry skin and notice an increase of lines and wrinkles. If you're starting to show signs of ageing but aren’t quite ready to have dermal filler treatment, then Profhilo is an ideal way to refresh your skin and give it a youthful glow.

There's a new anti-ageing treatment called Profhilo, which is an injectable treatment and involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, making it an ideal treatment for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness through ageing. Smoking, stress, environmental factors and ageing, can cause the skin to begin losing its natural firmness and elasticity and Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. After this treatment there's a noticeable improvement straight away in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and the reduction of fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration. Profhilo, which is made up from hyaluronic acid gel, will increase facial fullness with a tightening and lifting effect, ​improving the skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance and increasing firmness and elasticity, resulting in a softer, healthier skin and a natural-looking appearance.

The treatment aims to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin growth
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve the skin's quality
• Hydrate the skin
• Brighten the complexion
• Tighten skin
• Lift and firm

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid gel with one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we inject Profhilo in five separate points on the face to restore lost volume and to give an overall rejuvenated look. Rather than just adding volume and filling wrinkles, the slow release of hyaluronic acid will stimulate collagen and elastin production, which in turn will improve skin tone, hydration and the appearance of fine lines.

Profhilo is not a better option to fillers, and vice versa. Both of these treatments provide different approaches, so there will be one treatment that works best for your skin and your desired results. Profhilo offers greater safety due to its high purity and the absence of additives, reducing any risks and side effects.

Profhilo treatment consists of two sessions, four weeks apart. After your treatment, the injection points maybe slightly raised but these usually settle after a couple of hours. Results are best noticed after two sessions a month apart, however clients tend to notice a significant difference after only one session.

Laser Treatment For Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

For women, one of the most embarrassing beauty issues is female facial hair, and whether it's dark, coarse hairs or a sprinkling of pale peach fuzz, it's always an unwanted problem. A bit of hair on the top lip, cheeks, hairline and chin is normal on women, although this hair is usually light and fair, making it quite difficult to see. It becomes a problem when the facial hair starts to get thicker and coarser, and that's usually when women look into having hair removal treatment.

Unwanted facial hair in women is a result of:

• Hormone imbalance.
• Genetic and ethnic predisposition.
• Underlying medical condition.
• Being overweight.
• Perimenopause and menopause

Most women spend valuable time trying to get rid of unwanted hair., whether it's the hair on the legs, bikini line, eyebrows, chin or the upper lip. We use a variety of methods, waxing, plucking, shaving, threading and bleaching, which are all time-consuming, irritating and painful, with regrowth coming back quickly and often thicker than before. But there is an alternative. Laser hair removal treatment offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair, which will save you both time and money in the long run.

Laser hair removal is a gentle and effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair from almost any area of the body, and it not only leaves smooth, natural looking skin, it's also the safest and most effective way to create permanent hair reduction, and has become the number one solution to removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal can give long-lasting results, and small and large areas can easily be treated quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Laser hair removal typically needs six to eight treatments but the exact number of treatments varies from person to person. The laser treatment is quick, a small area like the facial hair and the armpits can take as little as fifteen minutes, with larger areas like the back or legs taking up to forty-five minutes, depending on the size.

After you've had the laser treatment, you will experience shedding of the treated hair. At first, it might look as though the hair is growing back, but it's just coming through the skin and will shed. The shedding of the lasered hair begins a week after the treatment and it can last a for a further three weeks. To help speed up the shedding process you can exfoliate the areas gently as you shower.

Botox Treatment for Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We put our armpits through a lot in our quest for perfection, spending hours making sure that the underarms, legs and bikini line are hair-free zones. We subject them to shaving and waxing rashes or we put them through laser treatment to rid our body of unwanted hair, but if having hairy armpits isn't bad enough, there is an armpit condition that can cause us a lot more embarrassment and that's extreme sweating.

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:

• Limiting the types of fabrics we can comfortably wear
• Washing and dry-cleaning bills will probably soar
• Causing embarrassment and frustration when we're in public and with groups of friends
• When meeting new people, our main worry is that we won't make a good first impression if we're damp with sweat
• The chances are, that we'll have to change our clothing more often.

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition that can affect both women and men and it's caused by hyperactive sweat glands. Excessive sweating happens in areas of the body where there's a high concentration of sweat glands, such as the hands, feet, armpits and groin area, and it's a condition that can cause extreme embarrassment and seriously affect our self-confidence. When severe sweating interferes with our daily activities, especially when the excessive sweating is from the armpits it can cause great emotional and psychological upset.

Most people try self-treatment first; there's a range of antiperspirants you can buy, and talcum powder which can help to absorb the sweat. You can also do things like drink plenty of water, lessen your caffeine intake and cut out sugary, spicy and processed foods from your diet. It helps to wear loose-fitting clothes with natural fibres, like cotton and avoiding wearing synthetic fabrics, like nylon and polyester. If these have not helped then botox hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative, giving outstanding results to stop extreme sweating.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we can effectively treat excessive sweating with botox injections, offering the latest, safe treatment for this condition. The treatment is quick, effective and minimally painless. After making the area numb beforehand to minimise any discomfort, we inject very small quantities of botox into the armpit area using very fine needles.

Botox treatment usually takes about twenty to thirty minutes and you can return to work immediately after the procedure. In most cases the treatment takes effect within a matter of days and can last up to nine to twelve months. The botox treatment can safely be repeated as often as necessary.

Erase Spider Veins With Laser Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As the weather gets warmer, that's the time most people want to wear shorts, skirts and bathing costumes, but unfortunately for those with spider or thread veins, the thought of wearing skimpy, more revealing clothes isn't an appealing one. Women of all ages can get unattractive spider veins on the face and legs, they are all too common and can cause a great deal of embarrassment. Until recent years, the only option was to cover the face with make-up concealer and the legs with trousers or tights.

Spider veins are very common, they appear on the skin in a reddish, purple and blue zigzag pattern. Thread veins are often a sign of getting older, because as the body ages, the valves in the veins weaken, and blood can collect, causing the veins to enlarge and become more visible. These veins can appear all over the body, but they are most commonly seen on the legs, face, ankles, feet and thighs. Spider veins are like varicose veins but smaller and they're also nearer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins.

Spider veins on the legs - before and after laser treatment

Patterns of red and blue veins that develop on the face are known as spider or thread veins and usually most women consider them unsightly to look at. Most spider veins don't cause any health problems, they're not painful but they're considered displeasing, especially on the face and many people use concealer to cover them up. So instead of spending large amounts of money on make-up to cover up the spider veins on the face, the good news is that there is an alternative permanent solution.

Thread veins tend to develop as we age, when our skin and blood vessels become less elastic, but they can also be associated with pregnancy, menopause, family predisposition, sunbathing or exposure to wind or extreme temperatures. There's no reason we should put up with unsightly thread veins, when there is such a simple solution to permanently banish those tell-tale signs of ageing.

Facial spider veins before and after laser treatment

The safest, most effective cosmetic medical treatments for leg and facial veins is laser treatment. A laser gets lightly applied to the skin directly above the spider veins, making the vein disappear. The energy from the laser gets absorbed by coloured tissues, such as spider veins, breaking them down. The closed and sealed vein is then dissolved and absorbed by the body. After treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins. A laser treatment takes only fifteen to thirty minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Semi-Permanent Micro Blading Eye Brows - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you have a busy schedule and want to save time, you could definitely benefit from having semi-permanent make-up treatment. Imagine getting out of the bed every morning with your make-up already applied, well, semi-permanent make-up can make this a reality.

Semi-permanent make-up can stay in the skin for several years so you shouldn't rush into having treatment. It's wise to find a reputable technician, with the correct qualifications and training to avoid any unfortunate mistakes. This treatment can help you to create your ideal look, which might be anything from a natural understated appearance to an adventurous and glamorous style.

Before you go for any facial enhancements, you should do some research

* Make sure the technician is fully trained, fully insured and fully licensed with the local council
* Choose someone who is on trend and up to date with current trends and techniques
* Check out photos of their work on their websites and on social media
* Don't have treatment done at your home, always go to a shop, clinic or salon
* Have a consultation to discuss what you want and what will suit you
* Over time the colour will fade to a softer colour complimenting the skin tone

Semi-permanent make-up has become really popular over the past decade, and over the past few years micro blading has become a treatment that's often asked for. Micro blading the eye brows individually with strokes of colour makes them look natural, unlike the block of colour that happens when you pencil them on.

Micro blading is a technique where we put small particles of pigment into the eyebrows to create extra fine hair strokes. It's done with a hand-held tool, featuring several tiny needles in a row to deposit dye into the dermal second layer of the skin. It's a cosmetic form of tattooing which puts pigment into the skin, but doesn't go as deep as a normal tattoo would. The colour should last between 12-18 months and then you should return and have a colour treatment boost, to freshen up the colours.

A consultation before any treatment is important, as this is when you will learn exactly what's involved in your chosen treatment. The process will be fully explained and they will be able to answer any questions you might have. The technician will find out what you want, and work with you to create your new look.

Clear Up Active Acne With Laser Technology - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's never an ideal time to get outbreak of acne and whether they're on the face of a pimply teenage girl, a spotty youth or an adult, spots can embarrass us and cause us to feel self-conscious. Lots of things, such as cosmetics, dust, pollution and even shaving are all things that can irritate your skin or clog your pores, and they can also bring bacteria to this area, which is also responsible for spots. Frequent face washing can help prevent acne from getting worse, using a mild soap or cleanser and wearing minimal make-up and trying not to squeeze any blackheads, white heads or spots can also help.

Active acne is a common inflammatory skin condition affecting adolescents and adults. Acne scarring on the skin can occur after outbreaks of extreme acne, causing the sufferer feelings of insecurity. About 80% of teenagers will get acne between the ages of 13 and 18 years because of changes to their hormone levels, which cause the sebaceous glands to produce increased amounts of sebum that can block the hair follicles.

Facial acne is easier to treat than body acne, but there's a bigger chance of the flare-ups on the face re-occurring. Acne is caused by skin cells that don't shed properly, plugging the pores and causing oil and bacteria to become trapped inside. As the oil and bacteria accumulate, the skin becomes inflamed and swells outwards, forming white heads, blackheads and pimples.

Advanced laser technology in acne treatment is effective for adult and adolescent acne and various grades of acne; severe, moderate or mild. Most people experience minimal discomfort and some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses. Before the treatment, a topical anaesthetic cream gets applied to the skin, and the advanced laser system has a cooled sapphire window on the tip of the laser scope, to further protect and cool the skin.

Clinical data suggests that most sufferers find that their acne will improve after about four treatments, two a week for two weeks. While many people continue to improve in the months following laser treatment, others will experience a plateau in their improvement. It might be necessary to have repeated treatments in the future to keep up the results.

The vaser lipo procedure is very versatile; powerful enough to deal with large areas of fat, but gentle on areas like the arms and neck.

Vaser lipo on the chin - before and after

Vaser lipo and vaser hi-def are much gentler treatments for removing excess fat and giving  immediate results. Unlike traditional liposuction, vaser does not need large incisions and recovery times are much shorter, due to less damage to the surrounding tissues and blood vessels.

Vaser Lipo
Vaser lipo provides body contouring for small, as well as larger areas. It's an ideal for treating areas including; the abdomen, inner thigh, outer thigh, large flanks or male breasts as well as smaller, delicate areas such as the chin and knees.

Laser Away Spider Veins on the Legs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spider veins seem to appear out of nowhere, one day, your legs will look flawless and the next you'll notice they're marked with visible veins. Lots of people suffer from having red or purple blood vessels on their legs, which are not veins, but usually dilated capillaries, which are commonly known as spider leg veins or thread veins.

These veins appear either; part of the ageing process, caused by over exposure to the sun, poor blood flow and circulation or maybe you simply have a family predisposition to them. We get leg veins when tiny veins congregate below the surface of the skin, causing red, blue or purple discolorations on the skin. Spider veins get their name from the shape of the visible veins, some are quite small, while others are more noticeable.

You can help to prevent spider veins by:

• Avoid sitting or standing for long periods
• Try to avoid crossing your legs when you're sitting down as this can weaken the vein walls, causing spider veins
• Raise your feet when you're sitting down as this will improve the circulation and help regulate the blood flow in your veins. It will reduce swelling in the ankles and calves and will reduce the risk of spider veins
• Limit the time you spend wearing high-heeled shoes, as heels put extra pressure on your legs, restricting the blood flow from the heart to the legs, and limited circulation can cause spider veins to appear
• Wearing support tights will stimulate your blood vessels and improve your circulation

Although these veins might make you feel embarrassed, they are harmless and any treatment done on them is usually done for cosmetic reasons only. Spider veins tend to appear mostly on the thighs, ankles and calves, and are more common in women than men. Leg thread veins can run in the family, show up following an injury to the leg, appear during pregnancy or through hormonal changes.

Laser treatments to take away leg veins involve only minimal pain, however, whilst we deliver the laser pulses to the treatment area, some people may experience a light stinging sensation on the skin. Leg vein treatments take roughly 15 to 30 minutes, although the time varies, depending on the number of veins that need treating.

Occasionally, the treated area will be mildly swollen and sensitive for several weeks after your laser treatment. You should keep the area well moisturised and away from sunlight and avoid any strenuous exercise. We recommend wearing support tights or stocks one week after the treatment.

Improve Your Facial Skin with Chemical Peel Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we reach our late twenties or early thirties, we start to notice certain signs of ageing, like facial wrinkles or the start of sagging skin. Most of us usually accept that what we see in the mirror is an inevitable process of nature, with sun damage, smoking, pollution, the environment, stress and lack of sleep, all accelerating the skin's ageing process.

People have chemical peel treatments to gain a cleaner, fresher and younger appearance for their face. It's a great treatment to lessen, or take away lines and wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scars, age spots, superficial scars and other blemishes. The peels penetrate into the dermis; the inner layers of your skin, and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin, to produce new collagen and elastin. They also increase cell turnover, resurfacing the skin which results in improved texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and more youthful appearance.

These non-invasive skin peels can give dramatic results for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull lifeless skin
• Sun damaged skin
• Active acne
• Mild acne scars
• Irregular pigmentation

Cold weather can have a harsh effect on the skin, causing dryness as the moisture gets sucked out of the epidermis, leaving it itchy, tight and uncomfortable. Fine lines start to look deeper and the skin begins to look rough and flaky. The older we get, the more wrinkles, fine lines, acne, mild face scars, sun damage, freckles and pigmentation start to show on our face. Chemical peels fight these things by slowing their growth or by diminishing them completely.

As well as improving the skin's appearance, chemical peels remain a widely used, useful part of cosmetic beauty treatments and they can help treat a number of skin concerns. Chemical peels are most often used as an anti-ageing treatment, helping to improve acne and discolouration or simply to freshen up the skin.

Benefits of chemical skin peels are:

• Pain free with no skin flaking or shredding
• A good treatment if you're suffering from acne and within a few months can help clear up inflammation and even acne scars
• Promoting growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which will thicken the skin and improve the resistance to the effects of ageing
• Improving the skin's texture and tone, making the face look and feel fresher

Chemical facial peels aim to remove the dead cells from the skin's surface to allow new healthy skin cells to grow back, creating smoother looking skin. It's a non-invasive treatment used to restore youthfulness to wrinkly, blotchy, sun-damaged skin and can also be used to treat blemishes, scars and help reduce the signs of ageing.

Enhance Your Look With Semi-Permanent Make-up - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

People choose to have applications of semi-permanent make-up for a variety of reasons. Whether it's because of limited time in the mornings or perhaps you'd rather spend the extra minutes in bed, then semi-permanent make-up could be the treatment for you. For some people it's about saving time and taking away the hassle of applying make-up every morning, maybe they want to change or enhance their natural features, but others find it the ideal choice if they have poor eyesight, have medical conditions such as alopecia or suffer with neurological weakness or tremors, in fact anyone who finds it difficult applying make-up evenly every day will benefit hugely by having semi-permanent make-up.

Some of the benefits of semi-permanent makeup:

• It saves time
• Improves the look of sparse, fair-haired or poorly shaped eyebrows
• Helps those suffering with alopecia, or hair loss through medical problems
• Gives you back lost shape and definition
• Helps to achieve symmetrical eyebrows
• It's ideal for those who are sensitive to the ingredients in make-up
• People who suffer from poor eyesight or shaky hands
• Stays on the face at the gym or the swimming pool
• Balances facial features that are unsymmetrical or uneven
• Skilfully designed treatment tailored to suit each persons needs

Semi-permanent make-up is safe and hygienic. Topical anaesthetic cream gets applied to deal with any minor discomfort, and then it's applied quickly and easily and is almost pain-free. For the first few days mild redness and swelling may occur, but you can go back to normal everyday activity straight after the treatment.

Lip liner - makes the lips seem fuller, giving them definition and colour
Eyebrows - semi-permanent make-up can thicken, redefine or lengthen the look of the eyebrows
Eyeliner - gives a subtle lash enhancement or a definite line, making your eyes look bigger and wider

After semi-permanent treatment it's important not to touch or pick the treated area, as even clean hands can cause infection by introducing dirt and germs on the skin which might create scar tissue, and picking the scabs can take away the colour from the treated area, leaving a patchy final result. Any patchy areas can easily be corrected at a later appointment, however, if the scab gets picked and comes off too soon it will expose the skin and infection can occur. It's also advisable to keep the area completely dry for a couple of days after your treatment.

Botox Injections For Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It doesn't matter how much we might hate it, sweating is a natural and important part of the body's ability to regulate its temperature, but excessive sweating is a different thing altogether. It's more than just a nuisance; it's uncomfortable, embarrassing and can lead to body odour and stained clothing, which can cause distress and anxiety.

There is some practical advice to deal with excessive sweating:

• Wearing appropriate clothing is essential. Cotton fabric is ideal as it's cool and it absorbs sweat, but it does tend to remain damp.
• Clothes made with synthetic fibres tend to draw sweat away from the body and make you feel dry, however this fabric is good at keeping the body warm and this can just make you sweat even more.
• Keeping your house and work environment well ventilated will help.
• A change of clothing during the day can help make you feel more comfortable.

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition which causes a person to sweat excessively. The sweating may affect the entire body, or it might only affect certain areas. Areas which are commonly affected include;

* The armpits
* Palms of the hands and soles of the feet
* The face
* Chest
* Groin

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:

• It limits what type of fabrics you can wear.
• Washing and dry-cleaning bills will probably soar.
• The embarrassment and frustration we feel when we're in public and with groups of friends.
• The chances are, that you will have to change your clothing more often.

Sweating excessively from the armpits is one of the most embarrassing of conditions and can seriously affect our self-esteem and the way we carry out our daily lives. If you are feeling hot and bothered and antiperspirants aren't keeping you dry, there are treatment options available to those suffering from excessive sweating.

Botox Hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative, with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. Firstly numbing the area to minimise any discomfort and then very small quantities of botox get injected in the armpit region, just under the skin. The use of very fine needles makes the botox injections almost painless.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest, safe, effective cosmetic medical treatments for excessive sweating. The treatment usually takes about 20-30 minutes and you can return to work immediately after the procedure. In most cases the treatment takes effect within a matter of days and can last up to 4-6 months.

Safe Botox Treatment in Reputable Clinics - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Surprisingly anyone, regardless of qualifications or experience, can administer non-surgical cosmetic treatments like botox, meaning that every year in the UK, thousands of people suffer at the hands of untrained practitioners. Deciding where to go for botox treatment for the first time is difficult, but there are things that you can check, so you pick the right clinic, making sure that you're putting your health and appearance into the hands of the right people.

It's perfectly legal for anyone, regardless of what knowledge, ability, qualifications or experience they might have, to administer treatments to the paying customer. Treatments given by untrained people can result in injuries ranging from infections, burns, scarring and allergic reactions. The most popular and most used non-surgical cosmetic procedure is botox; the injectable treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, but to keep yourself safe, there are certain things to think about before deciding to have botox.

You should only go to a qualified and trained practitioner, preferably a doctor with experience in cosmetic treatments, and who has specialised, had training in facial anatomy and has a well-developed aesthetic eye.

• You can easily check out UK doctors on the registration checking service, which allows you to check a doctors GMC status online.
• Most reputable clinics offer a free consultation to clients, where you can enquire about different cosmetic procedures and find out what's involved in your chosen treatments before you commit yourself.
• Botox parties at home aren't safe or suitable places to have treatment. Avoid.
• Although most people tolerate injections, there are some people more sensitive to needles than others. Usually topical anesthetic creams or gels get applied to numb the area before any injections. Botox needles are very thin and the injections aren't very deep, so any discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal.
• The Practitioner/Doctor should offer a 2-week follow-up review.
• After injections, there's always some slight swelling and bruising, regardless of the experience and skill of your doctor. Significant results will show after 3-7 days when everything has settled down.
• Less is more, so always be aware that over-treating the face can make the face expressionless and mask-like.

Having botox injected into your facial muscles is a skilled procedure and should only be administered by professionals. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we provide an extensive range of cosmetic procedures, from botox, to vaser lipo, to laser hair removal etc, for the face and body.

Vaser Away Chin Fat For a Better Facial Profile - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Usually, the only problem we might have with our chin is the occasional spot, but sometimes we have to face facts, and admit that somewhere along the way we have acquired a double chin. There are times when you're having a great time on holiday, at a party or out with friends and the cameras are clicking, but when you actually see the photographs you find yourself shocked at the lack of definition of your neck and chin.

Defining the jaw-line is one of the best ways to stay looking youthful. A well-defined jaw does more than just enhance our profile, it also takes years off the face, which can only be a good thing. As we get older our skin will lose elasticity, the muscles will lose tone and stretch, and the fatty tissues in the face will lose volume. All these changes can cause the skin to sag, and it will become most noticeable in the chin, jowl and neck area, as it's the fatty deposits under the chin that can give a 'double chin' effect.

Vaser lipo treatment is one of the gentlest and most powerful form of liposuction available today and it can quickly rectify the problems we have with our jaw-lines and chins. One of the biggest benefits of having vaser lipo on the chin and neck area is the massive improvement to your profile. As well as reducing fat cells, the unique selling point of vaser lipo over other procedures, is that the ultrasound energy achieves a degree of skin tightening, which is particularly effective in this area.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we use local anaesthetic during the vaser procedure, making it almost painless. Vaser lipo breaks up fat with ultrasound energy. The vaser probes that deliver the energy are very thin, solid and have grooves. Heating up the connective tissues means they tighten up and collagen production is also stimulated, so over time there will be a continuing improvement. Vaser ultrasound energy only dissolves the fat cells and simply bounces off other structures such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, which are left undisturbed, giving great results.

The vaser lipo procedure takes less than an hour and although results are noticeable straight away, they will improve with time. It's a simple procedure and usually the client is in and out of the clinic within hours. Vaser also gives you 33% skin tightening, so you will end up with a tighter, more defined look, making you look years younger.

Laser Treatment to Get Rid of Moles - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of us have moles on our face and body, some sit on the skin large and noticeable, while other moles are most probably small, neat and unobtrusive. Todays society unfairly criticises and makes fun of people with moles, especially those on the face. 

Almost everyone has at least one or more moles on their skin and nearly all of them are harmless. Moles are blemishes of different sizes and colours that are commonly seen on the body or face. They occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster, instead of spreading out over the skin. Moles are usually pigmented, often a brownish colour, although some might be darker or skin-coloured. They might be flat or raised, smooth or rough, and some have hair growing from them. Moles are usually circular or oval with a smooth edge.

Having a mole might be irritating, annoying and even painful and having them can really affect our self-esteem. Catching them on jewellery and clothes can also be irritating, and shaving could be very risky, trying to shave around the mole without catching it. Unlike a concealed mole on your back or leg, a mole on the face or those on the neck, are there for everyone to see.

There are a few ways to get rid of unwanted moles:

• Radio Frequency Mole Removal: This is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for taking away moles. It's state of the art technology which produces radio waves which instantly vaporises the moles, and results in minimal scarring.
• Laser Mole Removal: A state of the art laser system which can remove simple moles on the face, giving excellent cosmetic results, with negligible scarring or marks.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic you will have a mole removal consultation with our experienced cosmetic physician Dr. Bassi, where he'll take a clinical history. He will examine the mole and then recommend a method of mole removal. If clinically it's deemed necessary, Dr Bassi will excise the mole and send it away for histology.

These non-surgical cosmetic treatments are simple, quick, and painless and the results are instant. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and there are no incisions and no stitches. It takes just one single visit to the clinic, and full healing occurs within 4-6 weeks.

Replace Lost Volume in Your Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time, the volume of our lips will deplete, leaving them with a thinner, flatter appearance. We aren't all blessed with naturally full lips, many of us need a little help to achieve the fullness that we want.

The amount of dermal filler needed varies from person to person, as someone with very thin lips would need more than someone with lips that are already quite naturally plump. Of course, everyone has different ideas about how much volume they would like to add to their lips.

Filler doesn't usually change the shape of the lips to a great degree, it actually enhances the volume and voluptuousness of the lips, but it can help to elevate the corners of the mouth to create a slightly happier and relaxed look and not having the 'down in the mouth' look that sometimes comes with ageing.

A lip enhancement treatment using dermal fillers is a quick and safe way to give you fuller lips with a natural freshness, and it can also minimise fine lines and wrinkles along the edges of the lips. Most people who are thinking about a lip enhancement procedure want fuller lips that are smooth, plump, wrinkle-free and youthful looking.

Having dermal fillers injected into the lips can sometimes make people nervous, they worry that they'll get massively inflated lips, but this isn't the reality. If you have always dreamed of full, sensuous lips, then Doctor Bassi at Selston Cosmetic Clinic can help you to get beautiful natural looking lips which will suit you and your face. We can adjust the amount of lip filler to suit the need of each client.

Once the dermal filler gets injected, you will see an instant result, with fuller, well-defined, contoured lips. The fillers used are hyaluronic acid based, which is a natural part of the body, meaning the risk of an adverse reaction to the procedure is very small. Changes in the lip shape can create fullness and can also correct asymmetry. Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available and are a very quick and easy way to dramatically improve your look.

A reputable clinic will always discuss what you do, and what you don't want at your consultation. Dr Bassi, is our fully trained, very experienced, specialist cosmetic doctor with over 10 years experience in injectable treatments. The effects typically last around 6-9 months. After that you'll need more injections to top-up the volume of your lips.
