Reduce Facial Lines & Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days most women are taking better care of their skin than ever before, and the only thing giving away their age are the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, resulting from sun damage, genetics or the simple passage of time. Every facial expression we make will make an impression on our skin, and as the skin around the eyes is so delicate, the constant movement means the overlying skin is repeatedly stretched and folded and eventually the lines will become permanent.

Our skin radiates light when we're young, but as we get older it accumulates damage, becomes dull and starts showing fine lines. Constant use of facial muscles when smiling, frowning and talking, as well as changes in your skin with age, will inevitably lead to the start of wrinkles which then get ingrained on your face.

Contraction of the underlying muscles on the face will cause the overlying skin to contort repeatedly, forming furrows and wrinkles on the skin. Fortunately this can easily be treated non-surgically with Botox, which can treat facial lines and wrinkles in a subtle and natural way, helping to restore the glow to our skin and youthfulness back on our face.

We use Botox for:

• Smoothing wrinkles and folds
• Forehead worry lines
• Between the brows frown lines
• Crows feet at the sides of the eyes
• Vertical lines around the lips
• Dimpling of the chin

Static wrinkles are lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed, staying there after you’ve finished making a facial expression. These lines aren't the best candidates for Botox treatment, as injections can soften these lines but not always get rid of them. Botox treatments are best for dynamic wrinkles which appear with facial expressions such as frowning. Facial wrinkles and lines can easily be softened without changing your overall appearance, resulting in a more relaxed, rested and rejuvenated appearance.

If you are considering having treatment, it's essential to choose a fully trained, qualified practitioner to inject the Botox into your face. A good practitioner is someone who has a good knowledge of facial anatomy and has performed facial aesthetics for several years. A face to face consultation is essential, so they can answer any questions while taking note of your aesthetic concerns, preferences and your desired results. The practitioner will also discuss the risks, which can include allergic reactions, bruising and minimal swelling.

Restore Lip Volume & Shape Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fine lines around the mouth and thinning lips are an inevitable result of ageing. Lost volume and structure can easily be recreated with dermal filler treatment, which will restore the lips and give them a natural, youthful look. Fillers will enhance the mouth area and give definition and shape, correcting any asymmetry and restoring lost volume.

Looking at our lips we might notice vertical lines, these are also called smokers' lines or lipstick lines and they start forming when we repeatedly pucker up the lips when smoking, drinking through straws and pouting. Any repetitive movements will eventually show on the face as fine lines and wrinkles. Loss of volume also has an effect on the lips and as we get older this can make the lips look thinner and flatter.

Some of us were born with naturally thin lips, and others have lips that have become thinner through ageing. As we age, our collagen production slows down and this can cause the lips to lose volume. Thinner lips can make us look less vibrant and older than we actually are, but dermal fillers will give us back the volume, giving us the luscious lips we would like to have. So if we've always had thin lips, or they've just become that way with age, dermal fillers can restore them.

Lip lines are the fine vertical wrinkles that develop just above the lips that show up when we purse our mouth when smoking or drinking through straws, but they start to become a more permanent fixture as we get older. We use light botox treatment to treat these pucker lines.

Smile lines are also known as nasolabial folds and they are the folded wrinkles that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Dermal fillers are ideal for smoothing these lines away.

Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth to the chin and are similar to smile lines. Dermal filler can correct these lines.

Dermal fillers are a perfect cosmetic treatment to enhance the lips. There are many people who are unhappy with their lips, wanting more volume, a better shape, more definition of the border or to have more definition on the cupid's bow. A good cosmetic doctor will give you subtle, natural-looking results without them looking like they've had any treatment.

Dermal filler injections are completely controlled, letting the client choose if they want a subtle, in-between or more dramatic look. Lip fillers can prevent and improve the signs of ageing, leaving us happy to enjoy younger-looking, plumper lips for longer.

Transform Your Face With a Selston Sculpt - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time the essential structure of our face will change and this is mostly due to; our lifestyle, smoking, gravity and general ageing. Growing older means the skin will eventually start to sag as our body produces less collagen and elastin, which are proteins that are essential for maintaining younger-looking skin.

This is the Selston Sculpt a facelift procedure that naturally reduces the signs of ageing

The Selston Sculpt is a liquid facelift which uses both dermal fillers and botox injections to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the face. It's a non-surgical facelift that will help to reduce dynamic wrinkles and restore lost volume, which together will create a lifted, naturally youthful look.

  

Ageing will cause:

• The loss of facial elasticity and volume can lead to wrinkles, sunken areas and creases and folds developing.
• Wrinkles will appear around the eyes, frown lines and horizontal  furrows on the forehead. You might also notice bunny lines on the sides of the nose and the lipstick lines on the upper lip.
• Volume loss tends to occur in the mid-face around the cheek-bones causing sunken cheeks and hollows beneath the eye area.
• Folds and creases can appear from the nose to mouth, known as the nasolabial and marionette lines, and on the chin and jowl areas.

Selston Sculpt treatment can gently lift the facial features and reduce the lines, wrinkles, folds and creases. It can help to restore the natural, curved facial features, giving the face a more rested, rejuvenated look and a friendlier smile.

The Selston Sculpt uses fillers of various densities to restructure and harmonise the face

We inject small amounts of botox precisely into various facial areas, chosen after careful examination of the muscle movements on the face. Botox temporarily suspends muscle movement in that area, and will smooth out forehead furrows, crows' feet and smokers lines around the lips.

Dermal fillers smooth out the deep marionette lines, or smile lines around the nose and mouth. It can restore volume to sunken cheeks and fill out hollows beneath the eyes, as well as adding volume to the lips. Fillers are ideal for smoothing out chin creases, restoring a youthful facial contour.

A Selston Sculpt will enhance the natural features of the face and smooth and tighten the skin, balancing out the shape of the face using advanced injectable techniques and giving instant, dramatic results.

Botox For Subtle Anti-Ageing Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we mature, wrinkles and lines might start to appear around the forehead, creating frown lines between the brows which can make us look overly serious or angry. These signs of ageing can easily be treated with injections of botox, which is a reputable cosmetic procedure which visibly reduces lines and wrinkles or removes them completely. Botox injections are a fast cosmetic treatment where the results begin to show after a few days and gradually improve within two weeks.

It's advisable that you get botox, or any other injectable treatments done by qualified health care professionals, such as doctors, dentists or nurses, as they have had the correct training and use only reputable and safe products. Do your research and check out where you're having your botox procedure, whether that's checking it out online, on Internet forums or by word of mouth.

• Botox has lots of benefits:

• Speed - Botox treatment usually takes around ten to twenty minutes and the results might be noticeable immediately after the treatment, although it will take a couple of days to settle down and improve.
• Price - The cost of botox is less expensive than plastic surgery treatments which cost considerably more.
• Minimally invasive - Botox injections are less invasive than other anti-ageing treatments such as face lifts or brow lifts.
• Minimal side effects - Side effects associated with botox such as redness, itching or bruising occur very occasionally, but these are temporary.

Facial expressions that repeatedly use the same muscles, will eventually leave crows feet, frown lines and forehead creases upon the skin. Botox injections will temporarily weaken the muscles that help to create your facial expressions, and lessening this muscle activity will not only soften the fine lines and wrinkles, but it will also affect the expressions you use on your face. It's a temporary treatment lasting around four months and will need regular top-up injections to keep up the results.

Botox is an ideal treatment for those who want subtle, non-surgical, anti-ageing treatments. After applying a topical aesthetic to the skin to make sure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, the botox is then administered into the specific targeted areas, reducing lines and the halting further wrinkles from beginning.

The results of botox should look subtle, and a fully trained practitioner will carefully administer, technically precise injections to give you a fresh and healthy appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. This results in a naturally smooth and healthy face, free from wrinkles. The effects after a botox treatment are not completely immediate, it starts to work within days, with the greatest effect seen around two weeks later.

An Eyebrow Lift Using Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we decide we need to combat signs of ageing, particularly wrinkles, there's no treatment more popular than Botox, but we can also use Botox injections to make changes to some facial features such as the eyebrows. Most of us want to look as good as we can, and a small amount of Botox can enhance our appearance by softening the signs of ageing, it can lift your brow while still making your face look natural. A highly arched eyebrow is a classic sign of youthful beauty.

One sign of facial ageing is the eyebrows, because their shape changes over time they can get a hooded look. A Botox brow lift involves injecting Botox into the muscles, into specific areas of the face. Muscle movement happens through the pushing and pulling of different muscles, and this is something that can easily be altered slightly to create natural looking eyebrows with a high arch.

As you get older your brow may drop or sag, but Botox treatments will allow you to lift the brow, giving your face a younger look and making you look less tired. A brow lift is a Botox injection treatment that can raise the skin tissues around the eyes and eyebrows, to raise the natural eyebrow arch. This treatment can also make the eyes look wider, resulting in a more youthful look. It's recommended that brow lifts are more suited to those with mild to moderate brow heaviness, due to low-hanging eyebrows or naturally drooping eyelids.

The Botox brow lift, or chemical lift, is a popular procedure for those who don't want to undergo invasive surgery. The treatment is ideal for all skin types, and those who have naturally drooping eyelids and low-hanging eyebrows may find it particularly effective. Injecting Botox into the brow will literally lift the skin tissues above and around the eyebrows, resulting in the natural eyebrow arch raising a few millimetres higher.

Botox is a non-surgical treatment, it has many benefits:

• A safe, effective, tried and tested product
• It's a relatively affordable cosmetic procedure
• Treatment needs no downtime
• When combined with fillers, it can give your whole face a more youthful, balanced look
• Botox can treat chronic migraines, excessive underarm sweating and other conditions
• Designed to give attractive, natural and understated results

Botox used in tandem with other injectable treatments can fully rejuvenate the entire face, reducing the wrinkles, plumping up the lips and replacing volume in the cheeks, which will all work together to soften the effects of ageing.

Rejuvenate An Ageing Face With A Liquid Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As the years go by, we begin to notice signs of ageing as they start showing on our face. Ageing brings about many changes in the face and we'll start to notice fine lines and wrinkles and dull, tired skin as the skin loses collagen and elasticity and starts to sag. We also lose volume, and this makes the cheeks and temples look flatter and hollow, the lips can become thinner and less defined and troughs can appear beneath the eyes. Wrinkles and fine lines will also, sooner or later make their presence felt.

With so many treatments available to rejuvenate the skin we can find very hard to know which one is the best for us. The liquid facelift has made a big impact during the past few years, aiming to treat the upper, mid and lower areas of the face, to create a refreshed, balanced appearance that is subtle and entirely natural looking. The non-surgical liquid facelift procedure uses injectable treatments; botox to ease the look of wrinkles, folds and creases and strategically placed dermal fillers to help increase the volume and the shape of your face.

Botox
We use botox injections to freshen up the face, softening fine lines and wrinkles and eliminating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows. Strategically placed, botox can also give you an eye lift and lift the corners of the mouth.

Dermal fillers

When using dermal fillers and botox injections together, it's now possible for a skilled cosmetic doctor to help you look younger and more refreshed within the hour. The liquid facelift treatments will restore the skin and the facial contours to its former youthfulness, and after the treatment you'll not only appreciate your reflection in the mirror, but you'll also get a boost in your self-confidence.

Treatments For Rejunenating The Ageing Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and unfortunately these issues will only intensify over time. Our skin naturally starts to lose elasticity  causing wrinkles, and things like repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process, causing wrinkles.

Our skin ages in different ways:

• Wrinkles -  Skin loses some of its elasticity causing wrinkles and fine lines. As it becomes thinner and drier, we will notice new wrinkles appearing around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Repetitive movements of the face over the years are usually the cause of these lines.
• Frown lines - Frequent frowning when concentrating or worrying, can cause deep forehead furrows.
• Eye Lines - Wrinkles appear at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or looking at the computer screen.
• Mouth lines - Fine lines around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, pursing the lips or puckering up the lips when drinking through a straw.

Botox brow lift

Loss of volume
A dramatic change to the skin as we reach our thirties, is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. We'll lose plumpness in the face because of fat and tissue loss under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, but there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control; like genetics, anatomy and gravity. However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

Profhilo - This contains pure hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals, making it an extremely safe cosmetic treatment, with no risks. The slow release of hyaluronic acid injections stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, which results in significant improvement of tissue quality. Profhilo is an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing.

Botox - The signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.

Botox Injections To Stop Excess Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Warm weather is great for some people, but there are many others who dread it. We all sweat, it's a perfectly normal, healthy way to regulate the body temperature in hot weather and during times of exercise. When we get hot we'll sweat, and when the sweat evaporates, it cools us down. 

Sweating is a normal response to nervousness and anxiety, because our emotions can affect the sweat glands. Excessive sweating can cause us embarrassment and affect our self-confidence, and then worrying about it causes anxiety which in turn can make the sweating worse, bringing misery to those who suffer from it. 

There are a few things that you can do to keep your sweating to a minimum. You can use antiperspirants labelled as clinical strength. These usually have aluminium chloride as an active ingredient. You can also introduce more calcium into your diet, as calcium can slow down the sweating which will help to regulate body temperature and reduce perspiration.

A few factors about why you sweat:

• Gender - Women have more sweat glands than men, although they produce less sweat from each gland. Men sweat the most, especially during rigorous exercising.
• Body Mass - The higher a person's body mass index (BMI), the more they sweat, and as men are usually heavier and have more muscle mass than women, they tend to produce more heat than women do while exercising. 
• Alcohol - Too much alcohol consumption will raise the body temperature, causing you to sweat more. Alcohol will increase your heart rate and dilate the blood vessels, making your skin look flushed.
• Spicy Foods - When eating spicy foods the body temperature will go up, and your body will produce sweat to help cool itself down.
• Constant sweating - Those who experience excessive sweating are suffering from a condition known as Hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that causes people to perspire much more than is necessary to regulate their body temperature.
• Hot Weather - On warm days the body temperature will rise, making the heart rate and blood flow increase, trying to cool itself down. 

An excellent solution to excess sweating is botox treatment. Injections of botox to the places on the body affected by hyperhidrosis will help to reduce sweating in these areas by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands. 

Botox injections for hyperhidrosis is an excellent treatment with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. For those people who sweat a lot, we know how much inconvenience and embarrassing it can bring, making botox injections an ideal solution.

Looking After Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It seems like our lifestyles are becoming even more hectic, and balancing our work, family and social life can wreak havoc on our skin, making it look a lot older than it is. Early mornings, late nights, busy social lives and modern technology are taking over our lives, and many of us feel pressurised, trying to fit everything we have to do, into one day. All of this will eventually take it toll, having the potential to prematurely age our skin.

If we actually stopped and thought about the long-term damage we might be doing to our skin due to our bad habits, we might realise that if we neglect our skin now, we will most certainly pay for it later.

Botox injections

Lots of thing contribute to facial ageing:

Stressful schedules
A busy social life can increase our stress levels, making us lose out on our standard eight hours sleep. Tiredness and stress can cause wrinkles and dull skin, it can lower your immune system, which can result in acne breakouts.

Out and about
Outside we come into daily contact with car fumes, pollution and dust, which will all have a harmful effect on our skin over time. These are things which are impossible for us to avoid and can cause dehydration, wrinkles and redness. The belief is that these days pollution is just as damaging to our skin as UV exposure. It's important to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin, to rid it of a daily build up of dirt and grime.

Late nights
Failing to get a good nights sleep can cause havoc with our skin. Whether it's because of partying, working or watching movies late into the night, we are quite literally losing hours of our beauty sleep. Drinking excess alcohol can dry out the skin and the later we go to bed, the more likely we won't remove our make-up, and this can clog up our pores and cause spots. Lack of sleep will dehydrate the skin making it seem dull, causing puffiness and dark shadows under the eyes.

Technology
Our obsession with our phones and computers is really taking its toll on our neck and jaw line. The skin on the neck is thin and fragile, and because it's a highly visible part of the body, this area can really show how fast we are ageing. Constantly staring down at a phone or laptop can cause sagging jowls and wrinkles on the neck, which accelerates the signs of ageing.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic has many treatments which can help to combat fine lines and wrinkle reduction, dull, dehydrated skin, dark shadows and tear troughs. Experienced and fully trained doctors will advise you from a range of treatments, and will tailor a treatment plan specifically for you - from solo treatments or combining a variety of different procedures.

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.

Smooth Away Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby,Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing affects every area of the body, but of all the changes that occur, the changes in the face are the most obvious. Wrinkles and fine lines are the most common signs of ageing which form through smiling, squinting, smoking, and any other repeated facial movement. Most of our wrinkles develop because of damage to the skin, with the most damage coming from excess exposure to sunlight.

It's never too late to slow down signs of ageing and even those who are already starting to show some early skin ageing can benefit from making some lifestyle changes.

The rate of facial ageing will increase:

• When the skin becomes dehydrated it leaves the skin looking flat and dull, and the dryness will make the wrinkles show up more.
• Lighter skin tones also more prone to sun damage making the daily application of sunscreen essential.
• Repeated facial expressions like smiling, squinting and frowning often cause the first of your wrinkles to form.
• Heredity plays a role in how we age. The timing at which we start to develop wrinkles is partly influenced through genetics.
• Smoking can add fine lines and wrinkles to the mouth, causing lipstick to bleed its colour into the lip wrinkles. 
• Sleeping on the same side every night, will repeatedly press and squash the face to the pillow.

Even if you have great genes and look younger than you are, there's no way to avoid the ageing changes in your facial appearance. The changes that appear on our face, are reflections our happiness and life challenges, and we can either learn to love these changes, or decide to do something about them.

Botox is a prescription medicine that's injected into the facial muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and crows feet at the sides of the eyes. As long as you're treated by a medical expert, trained in facial anatomy, you will look younger and refreshed and you won't lose the ability to express any emotions or expressions.

These days we are all familiar with botox treatment, used to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles on different areas on the face, depending on the way your muscles of facial expression work. Botox treatments can easily be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermal fillers, which can also help to prevent new wrinkles and lines from forming on the face.

Anti-Ageing Treatments to Get Youthful Looks - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

In recent times we have begun to notice women and men arriving at cosmetic clinics clutching computer-enhanced photographs and asking for cosmetic treatments to recreate this artificially perfected image. Phone cameras have a great number of filters and this has also increased the demand for cosmetic procedures, as clients try to copy their filtered photograph images, even bringing their altered images to the practitioner, as an example of what they want to look like.

Most of the people wanting these cosmetic treatments are not old with time-worn faces, in fact most of them are only in their early twenties. When young women see the perfect images of celebrities on posters and in magazines it forces them to look closely at their own image with a more self-critical eye than ever before. Non-surgical nose jobs, cheek fillers, lip enhancements and botox are some of the treatments of choice when trying to emulate the enhanced photographs.

Sometimes they decide to have facial enhancing treatments to increase their self-confidence, sometimes because celebrities are doing it, or sometimes because of peer pressure. 

There are now a great number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures:

• Botox - to reduce moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles, frown lines and crow's-feet.
• Laser treatments - rejuvenate the skin's surface.
• Chemical peels - these will improve the texture and tone of the skin.
• Radiofrequency therapies - for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.
• PDO thread lifts - can deliver essentially a non-surgical facelift, using injections placed in strategic places.
• Dermal fillers - for non-surgical nose jobs, lip enhancement, adding volume and lifting cheeks and much more.
• Microdermabrasion treatments - a non-surgical procedure that resurfaces the skin. It helps to remove dead skin cells on the skin's surface.

A lot of young people aren't looking for subtle results, and we're seeing suspiciously full lips, super defined cheekbones and skin that's smooth and tight. While we can't escape people taking endless photographs of themselves and using filters and editing to perfect the images, we really shouldn't let these images to influence us into having extreme treatments. 

Dermal fillers aren't just for people who are looking to restore their youth, but also to enhance the face. Botox can help us look our best without making our face look like a frozen mask, dermal filler in our cheeks will give us defined cheekbones and restore lost volume under the eyes, and we can enhance and define the lips, without inflating them to extreme proportions.

We all want to look the very best we can, but we don't have to go to extremes to achieve it.

Smooth Away Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to look as young as we can, for as long as we can. How we look after our skin and our lifestyle choices can all play a part in delaying the signs of ageing, although we do have to accept that ageing is both natural, and inevitable. Lines on the face are a sign of stress or age, but you can easily smooth away the fine lines and wrinkles with a quick five-minute treatment. It will leave you looking completely fresh, less worried and more awake. Subtly administered botox injections will give your face a soft natural, refreshed look.

The ageing process shows on our face, and this happens for a variety of reasons:
* Time naturally takes its toll
* Exposure to the sun breaks down elastin fibres
* Hormonal changes cause a loss of density on the skin
* Smokers tend to have more wrinkles than non-smokers
* Repetitive muscle movement can cause deep set lines and wrinkles

Wrinkles are the folds and creases that appear on the skin and are a natural part of the ageing process. The primary cause of facial wrinkles are the repetitive movements used when we make our facial expressions, and over time they form crows feet, frown lines and marionette lines. Lines around the mouth and lips start to appear when we pucker up the lips when smoking. The skin is also exposed every day to the elements; the wind, sun, dirt, and pollution, and it's inevitable that this will eventually affect the skin in noticeable ways.

• Fine lines are shallow and they're found in areas of facial movement, such as the eyes, mouth and upper lip, from laughing, smoking, eating and squinting.
• Wrinkles are depressions in the surface of the skin which can look either coarse or fine.
• Deep set wrinkles are expression lines and they're usually found on the forehead, the corners of the eyes and vertical lines on the side of the mouth, usually caused by frowning, raising your eyebrows and smiling.

Botox is an effective anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle treatment. The treatment is safe, affordable, convenient and fast, and the procedure is usually completed within 15 or 20 minutes. The results will last for at least 3 or 4 months. The botox injections are non-invasive and are very popular, offering people of all ages a way to, not only reduce the wrinkles, but also have strategically placed injections as a preventive measure to stop new wrinkles forming.

Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the world, and number two is dermal fillers and the variety of procedures on offer is sometimes overwhelming, with the beauty industry offering lots of injectable treatments, but how do you know if what you're buying is the right product, or if it's being carried out by the right person?

Whether you're checking out the reputation of a clinic online, on internet forums or by word of mouth, always do your research and check out all the information on the place where you're having your treatment.

• Check out the qualifications of the practitioner.
• To avoid infections, always make sure the place you go to have treatment is clean.
• Avoid gimmicks, like: two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
• Don't just choose the cheapest. Remember, you are having products injected into your face, so choose wisely.
• Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.

You need to have treatment somewhere that's safe, where there's a qualified practitioner who should have a good knowledge about facial anatomy and skin. It's advisable that healthcare professionals, such as doctors, dentists and nurses, who have had the correct training in these treatments carry out these cosmetic treatments, especially any injectable treatments.

Botox
Botox eases the lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements that etch them into the face. Too much botox will result in a frozen, plastic looking face, but that only happens when too much of the product gets injected.  Small amounts of botox will smooth out the lines, but leave you with natural, relaxed facial expressions.

Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers add volume to the cheeks, the tear troughs under the eyes, at the jaw line and plump up the lips. Again, people worry about trout pouts and puffy pillow faces that happen when too much filler gets injected, and the same rule applies, as with the botox, let your doctor know what you do and don't want during the consultation.

Continuity is always a good idea. If you are having botox, fillers or any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's always wise to use the same practitioner who knows your face, knows what you want and what you are hoping to achieve.

Botox Injections to Stop Excess Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sweating, perspiring, glowing - call it what you will, it's a completely healthy way to maintain our body temperature, because when we're hot, we sweat, and when the moisture evaporates, it cools us off. Sweating is a necessary function which controls our body temperature when we exercise and when we are in warm or hot surroundings. People also sweat when they're nervous as emotions can affect the sweat glands.

Excess sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis is a condition which affects both men and women equally. It can occur on many areas of the body, causing embarrassment and low self-esteem and it can affect the way we live our lives.

• Some of the reasons we sweat are:
• Heat and humidity - hot or humid weather makes us sweat, and when the sweat evaporates, it cools us down.
• Exercise - when we exercise our body temperature rises, and sweating gets rid of the extra heat.
• Illness - fever is your body's way of fighting off an infection.
• Spicy food - spicy food contains capsaicin, which is the compound that gives heat to spicy food.
• Menopause - the drop in oestrogen affects your body's internal temperature gauge.

Any sweating from under the arms can cause embarrassment, but the real problem begins when normal everyday sweating becomes excessive sweating, which means that you produce far more sweat than your body needs you to. The body's cooling mechanism becomes overactive, producing four or five times the amount of sweat that's needed and when this happens it can really affect your confidence, self-esteem and limit your social life.

To help relieve this you can:

• Take a bath or shower once or twice a day.
• Wear clothes made of natural fibres, such as cotton or linen, especially in the warm months.
• Use deodorants with antiperspirants, to help decrease sweating.
• A change of clothing during the day can help your comfort.

Excessive sweating can now be easily and effectively treated with botox injections. The botox hyperhidrosis treatment involves injections of tiny amounts of botox, using a very fine needle in a grid like pattern over the affected area. Botox works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, and when the glands no longer receive the chemical signals, the excessive underarm sweating stops.

• Procedure time - 20 minutes
• Downtime - minimal
• Back to work - straight away
• Duration of results - 9-12 months
• Anaesthetic - none

Usually, most cases botox treatment takes effect within a matter of days and the results can last up to 9-12 months. The treatment can easily be repeated as often as it's needed.

Get A Younger Smoother Face With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

All of us want to look as young as we can for as long as we can, but unfortunately ageing is inevitable, so when signs of ageing like lines and wrinkles start to appear, then this is the time to start thinking of treatments to keep them at bay. Botox is a quick, pain-free treatment which will help give you a younger, smoother, line-free face.

The areas where the skin is constantly exposed to the elements, such as the face, neck, arms and hands are all more likely to become wrinkled. Most of our wrinkles are the result of ageing and each year thousands of people turn to botox, with treatment to the face; creases on the forehead, smile lines, crows feet and the deep furrows between the eyebrows being the most popular areas to have treated.

Botox is now one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the UK and a good practitioner will
customise the treatment specifically for each person's face to give it a soft natural look, because the results can look stunning, and yet remain subtle. Botox is a safe and effective way to reduce and smooth out wrinkles, worry lines across the forehead and the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and help to soften the look of these dynamic facial lines and wrinkles which appear over time, because of repeated smiling and frowning movements.

A fully trained cosmetic practitioner can perform careful, precise injections, which will give your face a fresh, healthy and subtle appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. Botox is injected using a disposable syringe which has a very fine needle, and tiny amounts are precisely injected into several specific areas on the face, which are chosen by carefully examining the movements of your facial muscles. The treatment is almost painless and doesn't need any pain relief.

Botox has many benefits:

• Wrinkles and lines get smoothed out, giving a more youthful appearance
  

• Prevention of further wrinkles by relaxing the muscles
• It's a non-invasive, quick treatment with minimal discomfort

A botox injection lessens the muscle activity which cause wrinkles to form on the face. It blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, relaxing and softening the muscles in the problem area. Gaining results from botox is a gradual process, taking around twenty-four hours to begin taking effect and up to two weeks for the full effect to show. The results can last from three to five months and we recommend repeat treatments three to four times a year.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we always attempt to keep the botox injection experience gentle and pain-free, putting you at ease and supporting you through the experience.
