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.

Treat Ageing Skin at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We start to notice loose and sagging skin as we begin to get older, because as the body naturally ages, so too does the skin. The body stops producing collagen and elastin by the age of twenty-five and the hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin lessens, and this can result in the early signs of ageing.

There are lots of things that accelerate the ageing process of the skin:

• Sun damage - UVA rays emitted by the sun can cause pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity through collagen and elastin breakdown and skin-texture quality.
• Smoking - even second-hand smoke can cause damage to the elastin fibres causing sagging to the skin, age spots and lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
• Lack of sleep - can cause more fine lines, uneven skin colour and slackening of the skin.
• Stress - signs of stress can show up on your skin, hair and nails.
• Pollution and the environment - Dehydrated skin can leave the skin dry, rough and itchy and the city dust and dirt clogging up the pores can cause spots and make the skin look lifeless and dull.

Loss of volume in the face is one of the things we notice about getting older. As we age our facial fat is generally lost, causing the soft tissues to become thinner. Collagen and elastin will become less firm and elastic as we age, allowing the soft tissue in the face to sag. This results in the face looking thinner and facial bones looking more prominent.

Problems we get on the skin include:

• The cheeks - ageing skin is vulnerable to the effects of gravity and can sag, resulting in jowls and bags under the eyes.
• The mouth - laugh lines deepen and the fine lines that surround the lips, known as smokers lines begin to show
• The eyes - we get dark circles and tear troughs when the upper and lower eyes begin to sag.
• Facial thread veins - the blood vessels are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing thread veins.
• Age spots - when the pigment cells in the skin increase they cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• The forehead - repetitive facial expression movements made over time will see the start of wrinkles and furrows.
• The skin - facial wrinkles may occur because of thinning ageing skin. Reduced skin cell turnover will result in thinner crepe like skin. 

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments to treat ageing of the skin. A little wrinkle, a bit of sagging or dark circle might be making you look older than you really are, but our experienced and fully trained cosmetic doctor can help you choose from a variety of treatments, and recommend which treatment is suitable for all of your concerns.

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.

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.

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.

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 brow lift

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.

Ease Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all get older, this is just a simple fact of life, however, there are some people who unfortunately feel they look older than their years. Wrinkles are mostly associated with older people but they can appear at any age and it's not unusual for those in their late twenties or early thirties to seek wrinkle treatments.

Botox is not just for treating the wrinkles of older people, lots of younger clients are now having this anti-ageing treatment as a prevention method. If you stop the beginnings of a wrinkle and keep having maintenance treatments, you'll stay looking more youthful for longer. We don't have to age gracefully anymore as botox injections are an affordable treatment used by both women and men.

The face is the place where age shows up first, and wrinkle fillers are ideal for those who want a youthful appearance without having to do anything too drastic. Botox is non-invasive and can give an incredibly natural result, dramatically reducing wrinkles and giving a smoother, less tired-looking face. Botox cosmetic treatments can help a range of problem areas.

The upper face is the main area of Botox treatments:

• Crow's-feet at the sides of the eyes.
• Frown lines.
• Forehead creases.

One of the most common things people want to treat are dynamic wrinkles which result through muscle contractions. The frown lines across the forehead, and the two vertical lines between the eyebrows form through the repeated movement of facial muscles when we express ourselves.

Eventually as the skin ages, its elastic fibres fracture, the collagen in the skin breaks down and the skin takes longer to recover from being creased. The lines begin to bed into the skin and no longer disappear, even when the face is at rest. The muscles on the forehead cause the skin to crinkle up when we are concentrating, looking into the sun, speaking expressively and many other things that happen daily. In fact, every time you scowl, squint, glare or grimace, these lines are slowing starting to develop.

Botox treatments have no recovery period, so you will be able to return to your regular activities immediately, with no discomfort. Any pain associated with botox injections is minimal but having a topical anaesthetic cream applied before treatment can help with any potential discomfort. Botox treatment takes just minutes to perform and the results last anywhere from 3-6 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.

Botox Treatment to Soften a Square Jaw-Line - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

While a square jaw-line is an entirely acceptable look for a woman, many of them would prefer a softer, more feminine shape to their face. The female jaw is thinner than the male jaw and has slightly rounded corners, and while it is square, it's not blunt.

A few key characteristics that distinguish a male jaw from a female one:

• Men tend to have a longer chin than women.
• The angle of a man's jaw is sharp, making it look square, where a square jaw on a woman still has a curve.
• On a man's face, the chin is flat at the base, but pointed on a woman.
• A male jaw looks wider, heavier, and thicker than a female jaw.

A typical female jaw will curve gently from the ear down to the chin, and although this shape is often associated as being the most feminine and the most common, there are other shapes. There are lots of women who our society considers attractive, who have a more angular, masculine jaw-line. Some say that women with square jaw-lines have slightly higher testosterone levels than average, but in many women it's simply an ethnic feature.

Masseter muscles in the jaw are responsible for jaw motion, and as with any muscle, the jaw muscles increase in size with exercise. If a strong, square jaw-line becomes too pronounced, it can make the face seem masculine and in turn cause self-consciousness. Actions, such as repeated chewing gum, clenching or grinding the teeth while asleep, can cause the muscle to increase, creating a visibly square appearance in the face.

Botox injections carry fewer risks than surgical treatments and can also help those who suffer with teeth grinding during the night. Botox can help change the shape of your face by relaxing the masseter muscle and in recent years they have become a popular treatment for people who suffer from thickening of the jaw muscles. After botox treatment the improvement occurs naturally, with the greatest improvement being noticed between three to nine months after the injections.

Botox can also subtly contour the sharp angles of a square jaw-line, as when botox is precisely injected into the masseter muscles of the jaw to weaken it, causing the size of the muscle to reduce. Women with a squared jaw think it makes their face look a lot bigger, but as the muscle decreases in size a more oval face shape develops. However, getting botox to curve their square jaw is becoming popular among women, for a softer, more feminine look.

A Younger Face with Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It doesn't matter how vigilant we are; we look after our skin, eat healthily, avoid excess alcohol, we don't smoke and we keep our face out of the sun, but eventually we are all going to develop age-related facial lines and wrinkles. 

Botox is the world’s most popular anti-ageing treatment because of its effectiveness at reducing fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. Good candidates for this treatment are those who are in good physical health and want to improve their facial appearance.

How botox can help;

• Frown lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes will lessen, or disappear completely.
• After treatment you'll notice subtle results, which are natural looking.
• Botox is very safe, it's a prescription-only medicine and should only be used in the hands of a skilled professional.
• It promotes a tighter, smoother, more youthful look.
• Botox treatment can also be used as a preventative, to prevent lines deepening as you get older.

Every month, thousands of people have botox injections to help reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines, but there are many more who are hesitant because of rumours and myths associated with botox treatment.

• There are some who think that botox is just a treatment for older people, but anyone who has started to show lines and wrinkles on their face can benefit from botox. The face is one of  the first areas that shows signs of ageing, and it can start to happen at any age, which is why some people have treatment when they are still in their twenties.
• One worry is that botox injections will limit the range of facial expressions. This isn't true. When botox injections get administered by a trained doctor or practitioner, they will only target those muscles that are responsible for the facial wrinkles and lines, and will leave the surrounding tissues undisturbed.
• Some people think that once you start having botox, you'll have to keep on having treatments forever. While it's true that botox is temporary, it can easily be repeated as often as necessary, but people can stop having treatments when they like and their skin will just gradually return to its natural state.

Botox can treat many facial areas and concerns, including;

Crow’s feet: Botox helps to ease the wrinkles at the edges of the eyes, that are usually caused by ageing.

Frown lines: Botox can smooth out these furrows which are mostly caused by repetitive facial movements, and they can make you look tired or a lot older than you are.

Forehead Lines: The skin on the forehead can become smoother, clear of lines and uneven textures with botox injections.

Lip lines: Using a soft approach, botox can erase the smokers lines above the top lip, leaving the area looking natural, but without the lines.

Bunny lines: The wrinkles on both sides of the nose, right below the bridge can easily be treated by relaxing the muscles which bunch the skin. 

Jaw: Botox injections can contour and soften the jaw line and can also help with excessive teeth grinding.

Look Your Best with Face & Body Treatments at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all like an evening out, getting dressed up in a beautiful dress and our make-up applied to perfection, but it's underneath the glamour where the hard work has happened to get us looking great. High-definition photo's that we put on our social media, means that every detail of our face and body is there for everyone to scrutinise.

There are lots of treatments and procedures available that can get us looking fabulous.

Laser hair removal
High definition cameras will pick up embarrassing facial hair, making laser hair removal an ideal treatment to have before a special occasion or a big night out. Hair removal on body area's such as the legs, bikini line, facial hairs, arms and armpits are easily treated, making the skin smoother. Laser treatment is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair.

Lips
Sometimes lips are thin; maybe thinning because of ageing or they might have always been a bit flat, but they don't have to stay that way. To get plumper lips just a small amount of hyaluronic acid can make a big difference, and as well as adding volume, lip fillers can also improve the lip borders and give the lips definition.

                       

Vaser lipo
When you're on an evening out wearing a tight fitted dress, any small pockets of fat on the tummy and hips will show, but they can easily be removed with vaser lipo, so there aren't any noticeable lumps and bumps. Vaser can also remove fat from a double chin, and take fat away from the upper arms, helping to stop those bingo wings from flapping.

Microdermabrasion / Chemical peels
Procedures such as facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels will take the dead cells from the face, revealing rejuvenated new skin. Regular facial treatments will give the face a youthful and radiant complexion.

Botox and Fillers
Injectable fillers can help to plump up lips and cheeks and a skilled cosmetic doctor can strategically inject botox to erase forehead creases, the frown lines, the lines between the eyebrows and the crows feet around the eyes, giving a natural, softer and relaxed look to the face. Botox injections between the eyebrows can raise them, giving the eyes a more open and less stressed look. Botox isn't only for the face, it's also used to inject into the armpits to prevent sweating, putting an end to perspiration stains around the armpits of your clothing.

So if you have a big night out coming up, or a special occasion where you need to look your best, then Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides lots of cosmetic procedures which will make you feel like a million dollars.

Look Younger For Longer with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of people embrace their age and are happy moving into mid-life in pretty good shape, but for those who aren't as happy, there are things we can do for ourselves and our appearance, which will help us to stay looking younger, for longer.

Once we reach a certain age, there are ways that our hair can age us. Our skin tone changes as we get older and hair that's bleached too light, or dyed extremely dark can make our face look drawn or washed out. Finding a colour that suits your skin tone and getting highlights or lowlights added will lift your face and brighten your skin. We shouldn't choose hairstyles because they are the latest trend, but rather we should choose them to flatter our face. A face with a loss of collagen in the cheeks, will give the face thinner look, and a hairstyle with softness and volume will be more flattering.

The make-up we wear should change as we get older, as the cosmetics we wear in our twenties, won't work as well when we are over forty. Older women can still wear all the things they have always worn, eye shadow, eye liner, blusher and lipstick, but to avoid looking hard, or harsh, they should choose colours that are lighter and apply it subtly. Instead of eye shadows with a sparkle and sheen, try using eye shadows in matte and softer lipstick and lip gloss.

Clothes are a great way to express ourselves, but don’t follow a trend unless it suits the shape of your body. Always wear clothes that accentuate the best aspects of your body. Buy clothes with colours that suit your skin tone, as choosing the wrong colour can make your skin look dull, while the right colours can make you look vibrant.

Eventually we'll all notice our face is starting to get lines and wrinkles. Lines are usually small and fine, appearing because of repeated muscle movement such as smiling, frowning, smoking and squinting. Lines normally appear underneath and around the eyes, on the lips, in between eyebrows and on the cheeks. Wrinkles on the other hand are static and are more dramatic than lines, and they're located anywhere on the face, neck, chest arms or body, remaining on the skin as visible folds and creases, even when the muscle is relaxed.

Treat your skin well and it look better for longer. If you really want to look tanned - use fake tan. The sun is the absolute worse thing for the skin, not only for ageing the skin and causing wrinkles but also because of the risk of skin cancer. Most of us feel we look better with a tan, so if you are out and about in the sunshine, make sure you use a high factor sun screen.

If you want a bit of extra help to feel youthful and look radiant , then botox injections can really give your face a boost. Easing lines and wrinkles will make the face look relaxed and refreshed. Botox is the best anti-wrinkle treatment available, that takes only minutes to inject, and can take away years from your face.

Stay Safe When Choosing Where To Have Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over the past decade, there's been a big upsurge in people having botox treatments to help keep the fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Practitioners have used botox for over 30 years now and it's a proven safe procedure for facial injections. There are very few side effects associated with botox and allergies are rare. The cost of botox varies from clinic to clinic, and when compared, the cost of botox in top cosmetic clinics in London and the South can easily be double the price of clinics further North.

Botox, indeed any injectable treatment, should always be performed by a medical professional in a sterile environment, and certainly not at home at a botox party. These so-called botox parties are when groups of women gather at someone's home and either self-inject or have botox administered by inexperienced hands, a scenario that can quite easily go terribly wrong. When botox isn't injected properly, or isn't injected in the precise place, there's a danger you could end up with the wrong muscles being paralysed, or you could be left with droopy eyelids and eyebrows, or at worse, the injection could even paralyse the muscles that move your eyeball, which can give you problems that can ultimately affect your eyesight.

Over the last few years there have been multiple reported cases about botox parties which have gone wrong, with untrained practitioners injecting cheap botox that's been purchased over the Internet. Lots of these parties have ended badly, resulting in significant bruising, facial asymmetry and permanent scarring and without any access to follow-up treatment. When botox gets administered by an untrained person, the risk of infection is higher than with a fully trained provider, and if any problems happen afterwards there's no access to follow-up care. Injectable treatment in a non medical setting puts people at risk, with the risks greatly outweighing the benefits.

Those who administer botox should have full training, as the procedure requires a high level of expertise, along with talent and an artistic eye for the craft. If you see an offer for botox that's a lot lower than the standard price, it's very likely that some compromises have been made; either in the skill of the person giving the injections or the amount or quality of product being used. So to remain safe, if you want any cosmetic treatment, it's always advisable to go a clinic where you'll be guaranteed the best service and you'll know that you are having your treatment at a medically regulated premise.

Restore Facial Volume & Reduce Wrinkles With A Liquid Face Lift Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days there are so many treatments available to rejuvenate the skin, it's hard to know which one is the best for you. As the years pass by, we start to notice all the new visible signs of ageing as they start to show on the face. The skin loses collagen and elasticity and will start sagging, which will cause us to get jowls. We can also lose facial volume, making the cheeks and temples look flat and hollow, and the lips can become thinner and less defined. Wrinkles and fine lines will also, sooner or later, make their presence felt.

The liquid face lift can address the signs of ageing without the need for any surgical intervention and it's an effective alternative to a traditional face lift. This particular treatment can help men and women look refreshed, without having surgery or getting any scars. It's a fast treatment that's minimally invasive, has long-lasting results and a short recovery time.

The liquid face lift has made an impact in anti-ageing treatments during the past few years, and it helps to correct the upper, mid and lower areas of the face, giving us a refreshed appearance that's subtle and entirely natural-looking. The liquid face lift procedure uses injectable treatments; precisely placed dermal fillers to help increase the volume and shape of your face and botox to ease the wrinkles, folds and creases also helping to prevent more lines and wrinkles forming.

Botox
The botox injections will freshen up the face, softening lines and wrinkles, eliminating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows. Precisely placed, botox can also give you an eye lift and lift the corners of the mouth.

Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers will add volume; to fill out the cheeks, boost the lips and create a softly contoured, younger looking face. Some of the most ageing lines and creases on the face are in the area between the nose and mouth, and these can leave your face looking tired and aged, but they can easily be corrected with fillers.

By using dermal filler and botox injections, it's now possible for a skilled cosmetic doctor to help you look younger in a short amount of time. These treatments will help to restore the skin and facial contours back to their former youthful appearance, and afterwards you'll not only appreciate your reflection in the mirror, but you'll also get a boost in your self-confidence.

These days there are more options than ever for making ourselves looking younger. If you want to reduce wrinkles, restore facial fullness and rejuvenate your skin without having a surgical procedure, then a non-surgical liquid face lift is an ideal alternative, which involves no surgery and no scars.

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

The UK is officially in the midst of a heat wave, and the usual summer disappointments of rained-off picnics, family BBQ's and music festivals have disappeared. Britain is the hottest place in Europe, with temperatures approaching a record of 38.5C, which would be great - if it didn't cause so much sweating!

We all get sweaty sometimes and although it's annoying, it's a natural way for the body to cool itself down when it becomes overheated. Some of us sweat a lot more than others and this can make the hot weather a bit of nightmare. However, if you have excessive sweating all the time, it might show that you have a medical condition. Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a troublesome and embarrassing problem for those affected and botox injections are highly effective in reducing sweat production in treated areas.

Everyone sweats when it’s hot outside, because when the temperature rises, the body reacts by increasing the blood flow to the skin's surface, taking the heat from within the body to the surface, and this causes us to sweat. As the sweat evaporates, the body cools down, but those who have hyperhidrosis will experience excessive sweating, whether it's hot or not, where moisture might literally drip from the hand.

Excessive sweating on the face is embarrassing because it's so noticeable. A quick fix to stop facial sweating is to put cold water on a paper towel or flannel and dab the face and then wipe it dry. This should temporarily cool down the body temperature down to stop the facial sweating. The hot weather affects the skin's moisture, causing us to sweat which dries out the skin, and the increased use of air conditioning or fans indoors can also contribute to dried out and dull skin.

How to cope in hot weather:

• When it's hot outside shut the windows and close the curtains. Open the windows when it's cooler for ventilation.
• Stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm as it's the hottest part of the day.
• Take cool baths or showers, and splash yourself with cool water.
• Keep hydrated by drinking cold drinks such as water and diluted fruit juice regularly.
• Avoid excess alcohol, spicy foods, drinks high in sugar or drinks containing caffeine.
• If you go outside. wear loose-fitting, cool clothing, and a hat. 

Hyperhidrosis can devastate those who have it, as it's not only embarrassing, it can dictate the way you live your life - everything from the clothes you wear, places you go, what you eat to the career you choose. Excessive sweating can now be effectively treated by botox injections. Botox treatment is an affordable, fast acting solution which will give you back your confidence and take away the embarrassment it often caused in social situations.

Botox Away Your Lines & Wrinkles - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are some people who have great genetics and age really well, not seeming to mind the changes that come with growing older. Other people just want to age gracefully, but unfortunately sometimes it doesn't always happen that way. When we look back at our old photographs, we may notice the changes in the texture and tone of our skin, and when we look in the mirror we might notice that we now have fine lines and wrinkles beginning to show on our face. 

Fine lines and wrinkles start to show up around the eyes, nose, and lips as we reach a certain age, and with time the lines get deeper and the wrinkles multiply. Apart from ageing, we get wrinkles on the skin due to exposure to the sun, smoking, and lots of other reasons. Using the facial muscles to frown, squint, smile or to concentrate can cause wrinkles, and getting wrinkles from active muscle use isn't just for older people, it's common in young adults too.

Over time, we might start to notice our make-up starting to settle in the creases of the face. We'll start to see the crow’s feet and laughter lines deepen and facial lines and wrinkles will make us look tired, but botox can help make us look younger and more rested. Injections of botox are becoming more popular as they offer a non-surgical, less invasive and cheaper alternative to cosmetic surgery.

Before botox treatment the practitioner will look at the face to decide exactly where they will put the botox, to get the best results. Botox blocks the nerve impulses to the tiny muscles of the face, reducing contractions of the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines. Applying a topical anaesthetic cream will minimise any discomfort during treatment.

Botox injections are most effective on:

• Deep lines between the eyes
• Lines and creases on the brow
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Smoker's lines around the mouth

Ageing can get everyone down and seeing signs of ageing on our face can knock our self-confidence. After botox treatment our face will still look the same, the injections simply soften the wrinkles and lines in the treated areas. Botox can improve our confidence and enhance our mood, giving us a younger, fresher looking face and skin that looks healthier and more supple.

Rejuventate Your Face With Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Facial wrinkles and frown lines can make you look and feel older than you are, and the deepening lines between your eyebrows and at the corners of your eyes can make you seem angry or sad. If you would like to look refreshed and have more self-confidence, then botox injections can make your face look and feel more refreshed and rejuvenated.

Lines that settle on the face are often called expression lines, and they develop over time as we age. We express ourselves by laughing, smiling, squinting, frowning and even talking, causing the fine lines around eyes and forehead to deepen. Smoking, stress and sun exposure will also make the wrinkles etch deeper into the skin. Botox is a safe, fast and simple solution for reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox injections are one of the most popular performed non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The results of botox treatment last between three and four months, then they gradually start to fade, but if you have repeated treatment, the results might last longer.

Botox benefits include:

Softer, smoother looking skin
Relaxes frown and stress lines
Reduces lines around the lips
Opens up the eyes
Will give you a refreshed appearance
Eliminates crow’s feet around the eyes
Safe, quick, injectable treatment
Proven results
No recovery time

Botox treatment is usually painless, but some clients might experience minimal discomfort. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can minimise any potential discomfort by applying a topical anaesthetic before your treatment, and we try to keep the botox injection gentle and pain-free. Our trained team will put you at ease and give you support throughout the experience.

A very fine needle injects a tiny amount of botox into the facial muscles where you want to erase wrinkles and fine lines. The injections are quick and you might experience a small pin prick feeling and it might be necessary to have multiple injections, depending on the depth of the facial lines. You can drive yourself to and from your clinic appointment and immediately following botox treatment you can return to your regular activities.

You will usually see the effects of your botox treatment within a few days, and you’ll see more improvement after two weeks when your muscles will be inactive. Your skin will soften and the fine lines and wrinkles will become less visible, giving your face a firmer, more youthful appearance. We use subtly administered botox treatment to control how we look when we age, but this treatment isn't about making you look younger, but more about making you look fresher and rejuvenated.
