Slow Down Facial Ageing With Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The signs of ageing can get you down, and seeing lines and wrinkles can knock your confidence and make you feel insecure when we start looking older. So if you're beginning to see an increase in wrinkles, or you're noticing fine lines on your face, or maybe you feel you just don't look as youthful and bright as you used to, then botox might be the answer to help reducing or eliminating those ageing wrinkles. 

Botox Treatment Before and After

Botox injections are one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments on the market, thanks to its safety and effectiveness. But we must always remember that despite Botox's popularity and its increasing use, the treatment is still a medical procedure, and only a fully trained and highly experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner should carry out this treatment.

Botox treatment can also be used for:

• Over active frown
• Crows feet, fine lines and wrinkles
• Correcting lines from repeated facial expression and worry lines
• An eye lift
• Correcting uneven eyebrows
• Tightening the jaw line
• Correcting the downward corners at each side of the lips
• Treating migraines
• Treating hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating)

Always choose a highly trained cosmetic practitioner to inject your botox treatment, as they will have performed lots of botox treatments, have a large client base and will have lots of before and after photo's, and they will have reviews and recommendations of their work that you can look at.

At your consultation you will discuss what requirements you have, and what your expectations are. When botox is properly done, no-one will be able to tell that you've had any treatment, the injections will just leave your face looking relaxed and refreshed. By choosing the right cosmetic doctor to achieve your aim, your appearance will look much improved, but will still remain looking completely natural.

*  Always check that the practitioners qualifications are authentic
*  Don't book because of offers like two for the price of one, or introduce a friend and get a discount
*  Make sure you have treatment in a clinic which is clean
*  Be aware that the cheapest priced treatment won't always be the best
*  Look at their before and after photos to check what results they achieve
*  Check online to see reviews to get recommendations
*  Ask around for word of mouth reviews

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

Fillers, Botox & Profhilo Treatments To Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we are young we have smooth skin and fullness in the upper areas of the face, but as time goes by we'll find that the years of sun exposure, pollution and everyday stress has affected our appearance. As we age, the body loses elasticity and it will produce less of the natural substances, like collagen, which we need to keep our skin firm and well hydrated, which all cause facial lines and wrinkles to appear.

Dermal Fillers

Getting wrinkles and creases on the face is part of the ageing process, and they begin to appear as the collagen and elastin fibres break down, but they can also result from excessive frowning, smiling or squinting.

Dynamic lines

Dynamic are when lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing occur on the face when it's in motion. They're also called expression lines; laughter lines, frown lines and bunny lines. These are harmless at a younger age but they are an indication of where the deeper set wrinkles and folds will remain in later life.

Static lines

Static lines are noticeable wrinkles, lines, sagging and folds which are present on the resting face. These lines, if left untreated, will stay on the face and will progressively worsen.

Botox

Dermal Fillers, Botox and Profhilo treatments are very effective for both men and women. 

• Fillers will fill lost volume on the face, hands and body. They will fill hollows, plump up thin lips, soften folds and wrinkles on the face and improve scars and other facial defects.

• Botox can ease the fine lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements. Small amounts of Botox will smooth out the lines, but will leave you with natural, relaxed facial expressions.

• Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. This treatment will immediately show a noticeable improvement in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and reducing fine lines.

Profhilo

We start to age when we are about 25

Our skin cell turnover slows down and dead cells remain on the skin creating a dull appearance

From age 45 onwards
Volume loss causes sunken cheeks, tear troughs and thinner lips
In menopause, oestrogen levels decrease, causing collagen to deplete
The skin can become dry and dehydrated
Pigmentation on the skin will become more visible
Loss of fat can make the face begin to drop and sag

The jaw area loses definition

Dermal Fillers, Botox and Profhilo are effective, fast treatments which will refresh and rejuvenate the skin and enhance the face and the facial shape.

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

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

There is some practical advice to deal with excessive sweating:

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

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

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

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:

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

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

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

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

Botox at Selston - Safely Put Your Face in Our Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox is an injectable treatment used to improve the signs of ageing on the face, whether to reduce  the deep lines on the forehead or to relax the facial muscles to give asymmetry to the face. Botox is actually a purified toxin, but although it is a toxin, when used in small amounts, it doesn't cause any damage to the body.

Botox is a prescription only medicine, so doctors, dentists and registered nurses can prescribe and inject botox, however, beauticians can inject botox, but their clients must first be given a face-to-face consultation with a medical professional who can prescribe the drug. With botox being a prescription-only medicine, it's illegal for beauticians to use any botox that hasn't been prescribed for you.

When considering getting botox, the first thing you should do, is see a medical professional. You are having an injectable treatment, so it's imperative you should choose a  trained, qualified practitioner to inject the botox into your face and they'll need steady hands, the eye of an artist, and the ability and passion to get it just right.

Good practitioners are those who have been doing facial aesthetics for a several years, who go on training courses and have a good knowledge of facial anatomy, but there are some people who try to treat people with little or no training. Theoretically, on one day someone can go on a beginner’s botox course, and the next day go on an advanced course, during this time they may have only ever injected one client, but they can call themselves an advanced practitioner. 

A face to face consultation is essential, as the practitioner will listen to what you would like to improve, and assess whether botox treatment is suitable for you, while taking note of your aesthetic concerns, preferences and your desired results. The practitioner will also tell you the risks, which can include allergic reactions, bruising and minimal swelling.

• A good botox treatment will have precisely placed injections in strategic places; into your frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet around the eyes and neck bands, leaving you with smoother, younger skin that looks more relaxed and healthy.

• Botox administered by unprofessional, untrained people, is a different story. Too much injected botox can leave you with an unnatural frozen look, or when it's injected somewhere on the face it shouldn't have been, it can cause asymmetry and drooping eyes.

Even after many warnings on television and in newspaper articles, an increasing number of women, and men, are still taking the risk of having botox injections done by people with no medical qualifications or knowledge of facial anatomy, who basically are just injecting it into your face and hoping for the best. 

In the hands of a fully trained practitioner, the safe, effective placement of botox can create a natural look which will make your face look and feel more refreshed and relaxed.

Cosmetic Treatments Can Help Combat Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

You might start to notice some changes on your skin as you get older; whether it's a wrinkle, fine lines on your forehead, crows feet at the eyes or smokers lines around the mouth, but there are some lifestyle changes that you can make that will work in your favour, helping to slow down more signs of ageing from appearing. We can't reverse ageing, but we can help ourselves to age well.

There are certain facial expressions that can accelerate ageing. Small expression lines usually start at the outer corners of the eyes and are known as laughter lines, and they happen when the effect of using muscles to smile show up in the delicate eye area. Over time, the fine lines will appear on the cheeks, and the forehead will start to get noticeable horizontal lines from frowning, which tend to become deeper as time goes by.

The skin doesn't shed and renew itself as quickly as we get older, and a decrease in collagen causes the skin to lose moisture and elasticity. We facial lose volume which causes sagging, and the skin grows loose and can give us bags under the eyes and jowls. Outside factors can also influence our skin: from the harshness of winter, with cold wind and rain causing redness and chapped, rough skin, to the damage caused by the summer sun, from years of tanning with sun screen and sun burn damage from all of those times when you didn't apply any sun protection.

Ageing skin:

• The rate of skin cell turnover slows down as we get older, resulting in thinner crepe like skin.
• There's less production of elastin and collagen, making the ageing skin vulnerable to the effects of gravity. This can result in jowls and bags under the eyes.
• Wrinkles occur as the ageing skin becomes thinner, as a result of reduced elastin and collagen.
• Age spots happen when pigment cells in the skin increase in certain areas and cluster together, resulting in sun spots or liver spots and freckles.
• The ageing skin has fewer sweat and oil glands, making it prone to dryness.
• The blood vessels in ageing thin skin are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing facial thread veins.

The facial muscles, like all the muscles throughout the body, will shrink and weaken over time. When the face muscles change, it can cause bags under the eyes, sunken or hollow eyelids, dark circles, and eyelid folds. Fat deposits give your face its contours. These contours are smooth when we are younger and have more volume, but as time goes by, the fat loses volume and changes positions, helping to give us an older appearance. The cheeks and under-eyes show these changes first, and as the cheeks lose their fat and slide down the face, it will make the cheeks look flat. Fat lost from the cheeks and jaw line might cause jowls or a double chin.

Chemical peel treatment

There are many cosmetic treatments which can help ageing skin to look fresher, healthier and younger. Dermal filers can replace the lost volume in the cheeks, the tear troughs beneath the eyes, nose to mouth lines, the jaw line and can plump up thin lips. Botox gives excellent results when treating forehead creases, frown lines and the crows feet around the eyes. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are ideal treatments to exfoliate your skin, removing dead and dull cells to improve skin texture and tone, making your face look and feel fresh and youthful.

Botox Procedures For Todays Modern Man - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we think of those who have cosmetic procedures such as vaser lipo, it's mostly an even split of women and men. But when we think of anti-ageing treatments, it's usually women that first come to our minds. Articles and adverts for cosmetic facial procedures are typically directed at women and always seem to have female models in the photographs. These days however, there's a growing number of men who regularly choose to benefit from these procedures and one of the most popular treatments is Botox.

In this day and age men want to look the best they can, just as women do. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we are seeing anti-ageing procedures on men rapidly gaining in popularity, as men in greater numbers are getting Botox injections to relax the facial muscles and minimise lines and wrinkles. The demand for non-surgical treatments tends to peak at certain periods, with the weeks running up to Christmas and Valentines Day being particularly busy and some men also booked an appointment a few weeks before their wedding day!

Today's men seem to have a more open attitude towards cosmetic procedures and are now more aware of the treatments that are available to them. However, some are still confused about which areas we can inject Botox into. Botox can correct the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, the two lines above the forehead and the horizontal lines on the forehead when you look up. We can inject it to create an eye lift, when the outer edge of your eyebrow is lifted, all making you look a lot fresher and less tired.

Botox treatments can:

• Reduce an over active frown or expression lines
• Reduce the appearance of crows feet/ lines and wrinkles
• Give you an eye lift
• Tighten the jaw line
• Treat migraines
• To treat excessive armpit sweating

Men have started to realise that Botox doesn't have to mean a frozen looking face, as nowadays, modern Botox treatments are much more subtle, We specialise in giving a soft natural look to your face and customise each Botox treatment specifically for you.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi has successfully performed thousands of Botox procedures. He is always updating and perfecting his technique by attending lots of conferences in facial aesthetics and you can put complete trust in his ability.

At the end of the day, everyone deserves to have the face they want, and obviously men are no exception.

Cost Effective Botox Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are many reasons why people choose to have Botox treatments. It's an appealing option because it's fast, painless and takes years off your face. Botox has been used successfully for more than 15 years and its safety is clinically proven for treatment of wrinkles and fine lines.

Many people try to treat wrinkles with shop-bought creams and lotions. The results from anti-ageing face creams may improve the skin's condition, but they will take a considerable time to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. However, the older we get, the more we realise that the claims of creams making wrinkles disappear and obtaining skin like a twenty-something are not really that convincing. They are just empty promises that stretch the truth of what’s possible from any skincare product. While these creams and serums do offer some benefits, they will never remove fine lines forever. The result of Botox procedures give immediate results, which get more impressive within days of the treatment.

As people age, wrinkles form on the face which is a direct result of everyday muscle activity. Botox treatment blocks the nerve impulses to the tiny muscle of the face, which are responsible for the fine lines and wrinkles. After Botox treatment the muscles cannot contract and relax, this eliminates or softens the fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox has many advantages:

• No anaesthetic - there's no need for pain relief because the procedure isn’t painful.
• Smoother, younger looking skin - allowing make up to sit better.
• An affordable treatment - compared to other, more invasive cosmetic surgery procedures.
• Visible results - within 14 days you will see the full results of your treatment.
• Botox is a quick procedure - It only takes about 15 minutes to do the injections.

Botox treatments are a wonderful option for those who want a younger looking face, but are not ready to undertake a more permanent surgical solution. Having Botox is a quick treatment, often referred to as a lunchtime procedure. The injections take hardly any time to administer and need absolutely no downtime: so you can go straight back to work.

When having Botox you should aim for results that enhance the face and not give it that "frozen, rabbit in the headlights" look. You should aim for results that leave your face looking rested and natural. The trick is finding a skilled doctor, who understands how to achieve a result that lessens the wrinkles, without significantly altering your facial expressions. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Bassi is fully trained in Advanced Botox Techniques and has performed Botox procedures for over 10 years, successfully doing thousands of procedures.

Dr. Bassi tailors his facial remodelling treatments to suit each patient, using artistry and scientific principles of beauty. Before having any form of Botox treatment, a consultation will be necessary with a cosmetic doctor. Dr. Bassi will be able to tell you of the benefits, as well as any potential risks that might be associated with Botox treatment. At the clinic we have a high client satisfaction rate and have many returning clients. Selston Cosmetic Clinic prides itself in delivering a professional cost-effective service, which is well received by our clients.
