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.

Improve Your Skin With Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over the years, the skin becomes vulnerable to a lot of damage. We'll get; injuries, sun exposure and acne, not to mention general ageing and loss of collagen and elastin, making the skin to lose its firmness and look tired and worn. All of this causes skin damage that builds up, and over time, will make your skin texture uneven and scarred, and can even make it look discoloured, but you can improve your skin by  exfoliating.

We exfoliate our face for three reasons:

• To cleanse the skin by removing build-up from the pores, which helps to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads 
• To smooth the skin’s texture, giving your skin a soft and flawless look
• To stimulate blood flow to the face, giving a youthful glow.

Microdermabrasion treatment

Exfoliation involves removing the old, dead skin cells on the skin's outer surface, getting rid of clogged pores, dull skin and signs of ageing. We use exfoliation during all of our deep cleansing facials, and during microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Exfoliating your skin can make it look softer, with a more even surface, helping skin treatments to work better and allowing a smoother base to apply your make-up on.

We can exfoliate our skin in different ways;

There’s the daily exfoliation using a traditional scrub. A facial wash containing tiny, sand-like particles will physically smooth away any rough areas, removing dead skin cells and uncovering new ones, leaving your skin feeling soft and looking flawless. You can also make your own face and body scrub by mixing baking soda with your facial cleanser to make it an exfoliating cleanser.

A liquid exfoliator uses acids to take away dead skin cells and it works on a deeper level by dissolving the glue-like substance that bonds the dead skin cells. Acid based products have an anti-bacterial effect that cleans deep within the pores, and some of them can boost hydration, cell turnover and collagen production. The skin sheds cells daily, however, by applying products and make-up every day we can halt this process, but using acids every day can copy this natural process. 

Exfoliation treatment that you get at a cosmetic clinic is microdermabrasion. Exfoliation done at home is superficial, microdermabrasion is more in-depth and goes deeper than your typical facial scrub. A precision blast of superfine crystals will smooth away fine lines, and reduce pigment irregularities on the surface of the skin. This stimulates an increase in cell turnover, and you'll notice more brightness to your complexion. Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetic medical procedures performed today and because it uses non-allergenic crystals, it's an ideal treatment for skin that's sensitive to chemicals. 

Before and after microdermabrasion treatment

Microdermabrasion is a safe non-surgical treatment which doesn't present any risks when it's performed by a qualified practitioner. This treatment is sometimes called a lunchtime peel and is one which will allow you to return to your normal activities on the same day. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that provides many benefits. It reduces or eliminates fine facial lines, wrinkles, improves acne scars and gives the skin a fresh, healthy-looking glow.

Laser Treatment Can Treat Active Acne - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

At some stage in our life we'll get acne on our face. It's a common skin disorder that affects people of all ages, but it is most common in young people, especially around the time of early puberty. We tend to think only of teenagers having to deal with acne, but unfortunately, many people suffer from adult acne problems. Getting acne isn’t just for teenagers, as many people can have acne breakouts in their 30’s, 40’s, and even 50’s.

Puberty
Your body begins to develop as you grow up and this causes an increase in hormones. These hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum, and these glands can become overactive. The pores of the skin become clogged with excess oil, or sebum, and this is what causes acne.

Plugs
Blackheads and whiteheads occur when plugs block the top layer of the pores.

Bacteria
When acne becomes inflamed the contents become hot and infected, and the bacteria blockage ruptures through the skin's surface.

We blame lots of things for causing acne; a bad diet, too much stress and chocolate, but it's more likely that genetics, hormones, clogged up pores and bacteria are the main causes. Correct medical treatment can treat acne, but there are things that you can do, to help prevent the causes and discomforts of acne.

• Food allergies - Some outbreaks of acne might be the result of food allergies. Write down what you eat and see how it affects the skin's condition. Go a couple of weeks without the food you think might trigger your acne, and look for alternatives.
• Check ingredients - Soap can have harsh ingredients that dry out and irritate the skin, and this can lead to acne breakouts. Instead, try using a gentle cleanser for the face, making sure you don't scrub the skin too hard. A good cleaning routine will help to keep your pores clear and clean, but cleaning your face too often can cause more irritation and breakouts.
• Touching - Try to stop touching your face. Throughout the day our hands are touching everything, accumulating dirt, germs and bacteria, and when we touch our face it goes on the skin, causing it to clog up the pores. Popping and squeezing spots will only make them worse because you’re passing the bacteria from one part of your face to another.
• Tea tree oil - Tea Tree Oil is a natural disinfectant and dabbing a small amount on your blemishes, can help breakdown the bacteria and speed up the healing process, without removing the skin’s natural moisture.
• Stay hydrated - Water is very important to the body and drinking 8 glasses of water a day will help to keep the body and skin hydrated. Drinking water will help to give you clear, beautiful skin, by flushing out the toxins in your system, cleansing your cells of built-up waste.

We use the most advanced laser technology at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, with new advancements in acne treatment, which is effective for adult acne, adolescent acne and various grades of acne; severe, moderate or mild.

Benefits of laser treatment on acne;

• It's effective on all forms of acne vulgaris
• Laser suits all skin types, face or body
• There's no side effects
• An excellent alternative to topical treatments
• Smoother skin complexion and a clearer-looking skin
• Laser also diminishes acne scars
• Lasting results
• Laser has a proven safety record

Early intervention is recommended, as acne can result in lifelong scarring. Laser treatment can help not only the physical symptoms of acne but it will also give sufferers a new self-confidence, without the worry or embarrassment about their skin's condition.

Microdermabrasion Treatments For A Smoother, Healthier Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, treatments such as microdermabrasion and medical microdermabrasion are used for mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, mild acne scars and they can also help to unclog and minimise the pores. The treatment can lessen age spots, hyperpigmentation and superficial sun damage.

Exfoliation leaves your skin in fantastic condition and is an important part of your skin care regime. It takes away all the old, dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking fresh and bright.

Pigmentation before and after microdermabrasion treatment

When we are exfoliating our skin, there are some things we should, and shouldn't do;

• Many people exfoliate every day, thinking it will leave them with a clearer skin, but in fact over-exfoliating can damage healthy skin cells, leaving the skin irritated, dry and red. Exfoliating twice a week is enough to keep your complexion looking bright.
• Use a good quality exfoliator with active ingredients which encourage cell turnover. This will help to take off any dull and dead skin cells and help to keep the pores unclogged and clear, leaving you with a brighter complexion.
• A professional exfoliation treatment such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion can penetrate deeper into the skin than products used at home. The expert treatments will cause the dull, dead skin cells to turnover faster and can also treat a great number of skin concerns.
• Don't exfoliate irritated skin. It's important that you don't damage the skin’s barrier, so if exfoliating has caused skin irritation or made the skin over-sensitive, then you should stop exfoliating. Once the skin has returned to normal, then you can introduce exfoliation back into your skin care regime. 

Different products may work better for you than others, depending on your what your skin type is and what skin concerns you have. Find out your skin type to find out which exfoliator is best for you.

The microdermabrasion treatment uses a light mist of crystals on the upper layer of the skin, which will gently and painlessly dislodge the dead and dull cells, whilst its vacuum suction simultaneously removes both the crystals and dead cells. This results in a polished, smooth and glowing skin.

Microdermabrasion improves;

• Blotchy, uneven skin tones
• Dull lifeless skin
• Enlarged pores/blemishes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damaged skin/age spots
• Acne scarring
• Blackheads and white heads

Microdermabrasion treatment can help you improve any skin conditions or imperfections such as; fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, oily or dull skin, and reduce blackheads and pigmentation. Microdermabrasion gives fast and permanent results.

Remove Acne Scars With Medical Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Having acne and living with its after-effects isn't just confined to our teenage years, the scars and pock-marks left on our face can last a lifetime. Because after all, no-one is perfect, we all have flaws and most of the time we spend vast amounts of time and money trying to hide them.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have various cosmetic treatments available, ready and waiting to give you the complexion you want and deserve. Our medical grade microdermabrasion machine offers state of the art treatments from mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, and this translates into more impressive and lasting results to you.

Microdermabrasion before & after just one treatment

The outer surface layer of the skin replaces itself about every 28 days through shedding, which is known as exfoliation. Microdermabrasion treatment speeds up the rate at which the skin would normally renew itself, and revealing new, fresh glowing skin.

We all have days when our skin looks tired, dull and uneven, and pock-marked skin and large pores can make us feel self-conscious. Medical microdermabrasion is a safe, controlled treatment that intensely exfoliates and resurfaces the skin. It will polish the outer layers of the skin, revealing a healthy fresh complexion, while helping to diminish the appearance of acne scars and skin imperfections. It smooths the skin, removing small scars, uneven skin tone, birthmarks, sun damage, age and liver spots.

We perform microdermabrasion treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic with great results. It's a unique treatment that uses a light mist of crystals, which gently and painlessly dislodges dead and dull cells from the upper layer of the skin, whilst vacuum suction simultaneously removes the crystals and dead/dull cells, resulting in polished smooth and glowing skin. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, and it promotes growth of new skin and collagen, which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effect of ageing. Recovery time is negligible, you can return to work/normal activities immediately after your treatment.

Microdermabrasion treatment

Microdermabrasion was first developed in Italy in 1985, and today there are hundreds of microdermabrasion machines available, and all of them have the same basic design, to exfoliate dead skin cells. This treatment creates a smooth, even skin texture, providing a perfect surface for applying make-up. It also promotes collagen and helps to stop future breakouts, if it's done regularly.

Medical microdermabrasion is a safe procedure for women and men and it can treat specific skin conditions or be done as a facial to keep the skin in good condition.

Laser Treatment For Active Acne - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's nothing worse than getting spots,and an embarrassing outbreak of acne, whether you're a pimply teenage girl, a spotty youth or an adult is never an ideal scenario. The people we meet on a daily basis will look at our face first, and if we have spots it can cause us to feel self-conscious. We can try to help prevent our acne from getting worse, by avoiding frequent face washing, we can use a mild soap or cleanser, limit the amount of make-up we wear and try not to squeeze any blackheads, white heads or spots.

Around 80% of teenagers will get some degree of 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. Spots usually occur on the face, arms, back and chest. The most embarrassing place to get acne, is on the face, as you can hide back or chest pimples underneath your clothing, but your face is always on show.

It's easier to treat facial acne than body acne, but there's a bigger chance of flare-ups on the face re-occurring. Acne, which is also known as acne vulgaris, is a common condition 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. Many 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 responsible for spots.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we use the most advanced laser technology in acne treatment and this treatment is effective for adult and adolescent acne and various grades of acne - severe, moderate or mild. The clinic's American FDA approved state of the art laser system delivers green laser light through the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural bacteria fighting defences, and significantly reducing any current and future breakouts.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort and some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses. We always offer a topical anaesthetic cream to make the treatment more comfortable and our 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 patients find their acne will improve after about four treatments, two a week for two weeks. While many patients continue to improve in the months following treatment, some patients experience a plateau in their improvement. It might be necessary to have repeated treatments in the distant future to keep up the results.
