Rejuvenate Your Face with a Vampire Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin looks is often the biggest indicator to show how we're ageing. As well as acquiring fine lines, as we get older, the skin can take on a grey tone making the face look tired, and too much sun exposure and acne scars can make the skin look worn. As we age, our skin will lose its youth glow because the blood supply to our face diminishes, causing our skin to lose its colour, making it look dull. 

Treatment areas for PRP

Over time the skin's texture becomes less smooth, the delicate skin beneath the eyes becomes thinner and we often gain fine lines and wrinkles. Platelet rich Plasma Therapy, (PRP) also called a vampire facelift is a treatment which uses the natural ingredients of your blood to rejuvenate tired and ageing skin.

Non-surgical vampire facelift treatment is ideal for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Signs of ageing on the hands
• Minimising lines around the mouth
• Smoothing wrinkles across the nose
• Softening wrinkles and frown lines
• Dull skin due to less blood flow
• Smooth and uneven skin texture
• Tighten sagging or loose skin
• Reducing acne scarring

PRP is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses the growth factors in your blood to improve the texture and tone of your skin. During the treatment a small amount of blood gets extracted and is then treated in a centrifuge to harvest the platelet rich plasma. It's then re-injected into the required treatment area, where it will stimulate new collagen formation, restoring volume to the skin, filling out fine lines and wrinkles, and encouraging the body to repair the ageing skin from the inside out.

Benefits of skin rejuvenation with PRP:

• Overall rejuvenation for the skin
• Any allergic reaction is minimal, as PRP is a natural cosmetic treatment derived from your own body
• It's highly recommended because of its natural elements
• It gives dull, dry and loose skin new life by stimulating collagen formation and elastin
• Results from a PRP treatment are long-lasting and can last for up to two years

A vampire facelift is great skin rejuvenating option because as the blood is the patient's own, so there aren't any foreign materials injected and this lowers any risk of allergies and infections. This procedure has a fast healing time and you'll only experience minimal bruising and slight swelling.

This treatment can promote skin rejuvenation especially around the eyes, reducing the lines and wrinkles. It's ideal for the hands, which often show signs of ageing sooner than other areas of the body, and on the neck and chest. The treatment simply helps rejuvenate the skin, restoring volume and collagen formation.

Dermal Filler Treatment to Replace Lost Volume to Ageing Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Along with the face, our hands are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. As well as developing age spots and wrinkles, over time we naturally lose collagen which means that the skin on our hands can begin to look thin and wrinkly. Over time they can lose firmness and volume, go dry and scaly and get protruding veins and age spots.

Dermal filler injections to improve the look of ageing hands

Throughout the day we are using our hands, and if we don't take care of them, they might start to look older than they are. The hands cope with years of washing up, daily use, sunshine and environmental factors, which cause the skin on our hands to dry out, and look old beyond their years.

Our skin can look youthful and healthy for longer if we practice a good skin care routine, but unfortunately we don't really give the same care and attention to our hands, as we do to our face. As we get older the veins and bones become more visible because the skin on the hands is thinner and more delicate than anywhere else, and just as we lose fat and collagen from the face and body, we also lose it on our hands, making them look older and skeletal.

As the hands are always exposed to the elements, they probably give away your age more than any other body part. Sun damage is the biggest culprit, which is why we should apply sunscreen to the backs of our hands as well as using a good hand cream at least once a day. Hands usually start looking older in our twenties, although most people don't recognise the signs of aging until they reach their forties and fifties.

Before & After filler treatment on ageing hands

After the face, the hands are the second most visible, tell-tale sign of our age. If you're bothered about how your hands are ageing and your aim is for them to look more youthful, you may want to consider hand rejuvenation.

• Microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and make the skin softer and brighter and help to even out the skin tone.
• Moisturise the hands after they've been in water and apply anti-ageing moisturiser while they're still damp,
• Chemical peels take away any dead skin and improve the skin tone, softening the skin and eliminating any brown spots.
• Laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help to plump up the skin.
• Dermal filler injections will correct volume loss on the back of wrinkly hands, improving the skin quality and plumping your hands up. A dermal filler treatment with hyaluronic acid, will add volume to the skin and make them wrinkle-free.

It seems a shame that when women take such good care to keep their face looking as good as possible, they find that the face and hands don't really match. The hands can look so much older than the rest of you and the loss of volume, fat and elasticity just accentuates the differences, making dermal filler treatment an ideal solution.

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.

PDO Threadlifts to Lift & Tighten The Facial Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin's elasticity loosens as we grow older and we tend to lose volume in various areas of our face. Ageing can lead to the start of wrinkles and sagging skin, developing into nose to mouth lines and these can result in jowls.

PDO thread lifts are ideal to use on:
*  Sagging jowls
*  Eye bags
*  Drooping upper eyebrows

The procedure lifts the face at targeted points, stimulating ongoing collagen and elastin production, which will make your skin feel and look firmer. It will smooth wrinkles, tighten your skin and define the jaw line, creating a gentle lift which will give you natural-looking results. After an application of topical anaesthetic cream, a very fine needle will insert the threads. These dissolvable threads will discreetly hold repositioned skin and facial tissue in place and as there aren't any cuts or incisions, there's no scarring.

The PDO thread lift procedure can treat either all of your face, or just partial areas, depending on your needs and it will combine beautifully with dermal filler. The threads are extremely versatile, and will give amazing results around the face and neck.

Replace Volume on Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the effects of ageing than the face. Some people think lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others want to turn the clock back and regain their youthful look. Luckily we can rejuvenate the face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments.

Nasolabial folds are the indentation lines on either side of the mouth that start from the edge of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. These lines become more prominent when we smile and laugh, and unfortunately, over time these expressions create permanent and unwanted smile lines. Nasolabial folds develop because our facial muscles get weaker as we get older, and though some people feel they are a natural part of ageing, many others don't like them.

Both men and women start to notice nasolabial lines as they age and this happens when we lose volume in the cheeks and upper face. The area starts to sag, causing the fold of the cheek into the nose area. We can effectively use dermal fillers on male and female faces to replace volume and structure to the ageing face in the cheek and nasolabial region.

Nasolabial folds become more noticeable due to a variety of factors, including:

• Sun exposure, which damages the skin, causing wrinkles and changes in texture
• Loss of collagen with age, making the skin weaker and thinner
• Loss of fat, which can make the cheeks and nearby regions look saggy

The deepening of nasolabial folds are a common concern that affects many people and they occur when gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks, Gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold, and they generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.

Dermal fillers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments used to restore the loss of volume in the face. Dermal fillers work together with the remaining collagen and elastin in the body, to replace the volume that's lost through ageing, as well as smoothing out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins that keep the skin looking plump and youthful begins to drop from the age of twenty-five, and it's when these levels decrease when you start noticing the signs of ageing.

Dermal fillers can successfully replace volume in the face, smoothing out the creases, folds and wrinkles. Fillers are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery for replacing the volume that's been lost through facial ageing. The results achieved by using dermal fillers for the nasolabial folds are stunning and very natural looking.

Hold Back Facial Ageing With Chemical Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't change the natural ageing process, but there are things we can do to influence just how it ages. Although it's our genes that mostly control these changes and when they occur, there are lots of other things that make the face look older over time; our skin getting thinner and drier, loss of volume in the face and visible lines and wrinkles appearing on the face.

Nobody wants to look any older, however our skin faces many challenges as we age, things like; sun exposure, harsh weather and lazy cleansing habits, but there are steps we can take to help our skin stay supple and fresh-looking.

* Cleansers - using strong cleansers can strip essential moisture from the skin, causing dead skin to build up.

* Eye wrinkles - use eye creams to keep the eyes hydrated and nourished, which can help to prevent ageing eye wrinkles.

* Healthy skin - regular facials, exfoliating, face scrubs and chemical peels can all help to remove dry, dead skin cells, allowing new fresh skin to replace it.

Taking care of your skin from an early age can make a world of difference in how wrinkles form on your face later on. We can't go back in time and change the way we've treated our skin, however, there are some things we can do that will keep your complexion looking radiant and make you feel more youthful.

• Sun screen - The main cause of skin ageing is exposure to the sun. Using sunscreen every single day and not just when the sun is shining is the best way to prevent this.
• Don't smoke - Smoking causes damage to collagen and elastin, and when collagen in the face becomes less elastic it allows the soft tissue features of the face to sag.
• Exfoliate - This will remove the dead skin cells, and you can either exfoliate manually, use a facial scrub or have a chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment at a cosmetic clinic or beauty salon.

Exfoliating the skin using medical chemical peels, helps to increase the skin cell turnover, shedding dead skin cells and pushing newer ones to form. The peels penetrate into the dermis of the skin and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and youthful appearance.

Chemical peels are non-invasive treatment for ageing skin and they are suitable for all skin types. 

They penetrate into the skin without irritation, instantly giving a smooth, tighter feel to the skin, and giving your skin a youthful glow.

Improve The Complexion With Skin Needling Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Even with great genes and a naturally young-looking face, ageing is inevitable. We can either simply embrace our age and how we look, or we might prefer to find an alternative way to revitalise our ageing skin, without turning to invasive cosmetic surgery.

Sometimes when we look closely in the mirror, we might feel that our face is starting to look a bit tired. If we begin feeling self-conscious about the acne scars on our skin, or maybe sun-damaged skin makes us feel we look older than we are, then skin needling is a treatment which will stimulate skin renewal, helping to freshen the skin, make it firmer and look younger.

The skin needling instrument rolls across the skin, puncturing the outermost layers of the skin to create tiny pin prick injuries which are not visible to the naked eye. This stimulates new collagen deposition and regenerates new, healthy skin cells. The wounds will close within an hour.

It's a safe and precise cosmetic procedure, and it's one of the few cosmetic treatments that's suitable for treating all skin types, including ethnic skin. The treatment is less invasive than other skin treatments, and doesn't need the removal of the epidermis, and this results in a much shorter healing time.

Skin needling, also known as dermaroller therapy, activates production of new collagen and fibroblast formation, which helps to reduce lines and wrinkles and can improve the texture of the skin. The skin's natural healing process helps to restore a smoother, clearer complexion and it can also help improve many types of scarring.

Skin needling can help to enhance many facial imperfections. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and mild acne and chicken pox scars. The treatment can correct damage from the sun and lighten pigmentation marks and is great for skin that lacks firmness and elasticity. Skin needling can also rectify pregnancy and weight-loss stretch marks and cellulite.

* The procedure time takes up to seventy-five minutes
* We can apply topical anaesthetic cream, if you need it
* Downtime is between one and five days
* The best results are noticeable after two to three months
* The results will last from nine to twelve months
* You'll need a course of four to six treatments

Skin needling has many benefits, it stimulates collagen and elastin and can repair, rejuvenate and plump up the skin. The treatment can create smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin, and since the needling treatment does not remove layers of skin with chemicals or lasers, it's generally safe for all skin types, even darker skin.

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
Dermal Fillers injections will add volume to fill out the hollows in the cheeks, the troughs under the eyes, they'll plump up the lips and create a softly contoured, more youthful-looking face. Some of the most ageing lines and creases on the face are in the area between the nose and mouth, but they can easily be corrected with 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.

A liquid facelift can address many of the signs of ageing, without the need for invasive cosmetic surgery. It's a quick and effective treatment that's minimally invasive and is a walk in, walk out procedure. It has long-lasting results and a short recovery time with only minimal swelling and bruising.

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.

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.

Restore Lost Volume In Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

None of us have perfect lips throughout our lifetime, so if you feel self-conscious that your lips have become thinner or they seem to disappear when you smile, then a lip augmentation might be the answer. It's an ideal treatment for those with thin lips or those who think having fuller lips will help to balance out their face.

If you're disheartened by a gradual loss in volume in the lips, or you'd prefer more definition in the shape or maybe you want a more defined border, then a cosmetic treatment using a small amount of filler can quickly rectify all your concerns. As we get older, we can notice a loss of plumpness in the lips, but this lost volume can easily be restored with dermal filler treatment.

Lip augmentation is one of the most popular treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. This treatment will smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area and can shape and add volume to the lips, all helping to create the perfect overall look to enhance your facial features.

Wrinkles
A lip filler injection will boost the hydration levels to the upper and lower lips, This will hydrate the lips as well as smoothing the fine lines and wrinkles.

Thin lips
Some of us have naturally thin lips or else they lose volume as we age. A non-permanent filler made from hyaluronic acid can boost volume in the lip area. Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient which gets broken down by the body over time, and can also be dissolved if you don't like the results.

Mouth and lip lines
The vertical lines around the mouth are a particular problem for women as it can cause lipstick bleed. Dermal fillers can soften these lines, enhancing the mouth area and giving it a more youthful look.

Shape
The edges of the lips will become less defined as we get older, as over time, the collagen and elastin breaks down and the lips lose their pouting shape, and lines begin to develop around the lips.

Undefined lips
Filler added to the vermilion border, improve the definition and minimize lip bleed and give a better outline.

Lip augmentation treatment will:

• Increase the volume
• Improve the outline and definition
• Achieve a more symmetrical look
• Enhance the contours of the lips
• Reduce lines and wrinkles 

Lip augmentation is a quick procedure with almost no downtime. Any side effects such as swelling, bruising or redness are temporary and will resolve within a few days. Any lumps or bumps can easily be gently massaged out and will settle within a couple of days. After filler treatment, you should keep your lips moisturised and use a moisturising sun block.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Profhilo is a new rejuvenating injectable treatment that's taking the cosmetic world by storm. It's an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing. Profhilo 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. It works by spreading into the skin tissue to improve elasticity, creating a lifting and tightening effect while at the same time improving the skin's appearance.

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not change the facial structure. We inject Profhilo into the superficial subcutaneous layer of skin in certain places and it disperses within twenty-four hours. These injections restore hydration and increase collagen production to give a youthfulness that no other injectable treatment can.

We use Profhilo to treat skin laxity and improve skin quality and the most popular areas that we treat are the face, neck, hands and décolleté. It's used to treat skin laxity and skin quality almost anywhere, and clients report an overall improvement in skin hydration, brightness, smoothness and firmness.

Profhilo doesn’t augment facial features as dermal fillers do, instead it improves the skin's quality through hydration, tone, texture, and lifting. It's a suitable treatment for skin that's thinning, tired, ageing and looking dull and dehydrated, as it will improve your overall skin’s laxity and bounce. Profhilo is ideal for those who need more than high-end skin care but aren’t quite ready for dermal fillers. It won’t change the way you look, or stop any facial expressions or movement, it will simply give you a healthy glow.

Before any treatment you'll have consultation and a visual assessment of your skin, and our cosmetic doctor will talk to you about your needs, hopes and expectations. This will give us a better understanding of which treatment you need and which places to inject to give you the best outcome, giving you a bespoke treatment plan that's entirely tailored to you.

The treatment might cause some discomfort but a topical anaesthetic cream application will numb the area. We inject Profhilo into five injection points on each side of the face, and the most sensitive places are around the lips and eyes as the skin is thinner and more sensitive in these areas. The treatment takes about thirty minutes and afterwards there’s a risk of bumps at the injection points and maybe some slight bruising as well, but this won't last very long.

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

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

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

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

The treatment aims to:

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

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

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

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

Dermal Filler to Replace Lost Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin is one of our best assets when it comes to beauty. A healthy firm skin, equals a younger-looking appearance and when we're young our skin is more elastic and resilient, which is mostly thanks to collagen. Collagen keeps the skin intact and hydrated, which makes it elastic, but as we age the skin weakens and loses its elasticity. This affects your facial expressions and you'll find that the skin will sag, causing it to develop lines and wrinkles.

There are ways we can help our skin to look good:

• Keeping up a good skin care routine
• Don't use soap on the face
• Wash your face twice a day, at morning and night, using warm water and a mild facial cleanser
• Always moisturise after cleansing, as it will hydrate the skin
• Good facial exfoliation is an essential part of any skin routine as it will remove dead skin cells
• Use sunscreen everyday

The most visible signs of ageing on the face is because of volume loss. When facial tissues lose volume, the cheeks start to look hollow, we get tear troughs under the eyes and lines can become etched around the nose and mouth. As we mature, we naturally lose subcutaneous fat in our faces, making the smile lines, frown lines and crow's-feet become more obvious, as the facial muscles are working closer to the skin's surface.

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin's own supply of hyaluronic acid and they revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly diminishing the lines and wrinkles and giving a softer natural look. Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel, consisting of hyaluronic acid which is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body. It's long-lasting but not permanent.

Dermal fillers are ideal to:

• Diminish vertical lines around the lips
• Fill in hollow tear troughs around the eyes
• Enhance and restore lost volume to sunken cheeks
• Plump up and enhance the lips
• Soften facial lines and wrinkles
• Plump out facial creases

The filler gets injected into the skin in tiny amounts, with a very fine needle. The gel filler produces volume under the skin, lifting up the wrinkles or folds, which results in smooth looking skin. It's a quick, easy treatment and the actual procedure takes between twenty minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment required. Straight after your treatment you'll have slight redness, mild swelling and tenderness, but these effects are temporary.

Refresh & Rejuvenate Your Face With a Chemical Peel - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older our skin can begin to look dull, the texture can become uneven and we might even have some acne scars, but surprisingly, lying just beneath the surface of our skin could be a spotless, line-free and flawless complexion. If we are unhappy at the state of our skin then a chemical peel treatment can improve the texture and tone on the face, leaving us with improved, visible results, without any irritation or shredding of the skin.

Chemical peels are a widely used part of cosmetic treatments, and they can help rectify a number of skin concerns. The treatments penetrate into the skin without causing irritation, unclogging facial pores and stimulating collagen production. They are most often used as an anti-ageing treatment, to improve fine lines, acne scars and skin discolouration or simply to freshen up the skin.

The acid in the chemical peel lifts away the dead cells in minutes, triggering a chain reaction:

* It causes exfoliation of the top layer of the skin

* Once the skin is shed, the living cells below will multiply and move up.

* This will increase collagen production, making hyaluronic acid which results in a fresher, younger  looking face.

Regularly removing dead skin cells will freshen up your skin, giving it a fresh and youthful glow. It will even out the skin tone, reduce age spots, give you a better skin quality, as well as giving your skin-care and make-up products, a smoother base to sit on. The peels penetrate into the dermis of the skin and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin, producing new and improved collagen and elastin and increasing the skin cell turnover.

Benefits of chemical peels:

• Penetrate deep enough to remove the top layer of skin, which will even out your skin tone.
• Reduce or take away blotchy patches that cause the skin to look dull.
• Remove the sun damaged top layer of skin, leaving behind a fresh and smooth layer.
• They can help clear up inflammations and even acne scars.
• A fast and simple treatment. The average procedure takes around 30-40 minutes.

Chemical peels offer a non-invasive, quick-fix solution, without the need for surgery. Lasers treatments can target problems but they can prove expensive, so chemical peels are ideal for customers looking for an effective, less expensive option.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation for Fine Wrinkles & Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sun damage, acne scars and general ageing - our skin goes through a lot over the years, but there is a way to get our skin back to its former glory with laser skin resurfacing. This is a treatment which removes damaged layers of skin, leaving skin looking fresher, younger and healthier.

This treatment is a non-invasive laser treatment for fine wrinkles, ageing and sun-damaged skin and is often called the non-surgical face lift. It's non-ablative, so the surface of the skin remains unchanged and there's no healing or recovery time.

Enhanced laser skin rejuvenation treatment will:

• Leave the face with an even colouring
• Give the skin with a silky feel and a youthful glow
• Tighten up the skin
• Plump up areas such as the cheeks

The gentle lasers reach deep down to the collagen level of the skin, and the precise therapeutic light energy stimulates production of collagen and elastin fibres, and this will improve the tone and texture of the skin and smooth out facial wrinkles. It corrects small pigmentation imperfections such as brown sunspots and erases broken blood vessels and red and blue facial veins. It's a safe treatment for the face, chest, neck, hands and any area where sun damage shows.

The enhanced laser skin rejuvenation procedure normally takes around 40-60 minutes to treat and we recommend six treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. The treatment effects are cumulative, with optimal results appearing after 4 to 6 months. Clients might experience minimal discomfort when we are delivering the laser pulses and some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make the treatments more comfortable.

Laser skin rejuvenation is an ideal procedure to have done during your lunch time as after the treatment there's no down time, you can wear make up and resume your normal activities straight away, with most  clients returning to work immediately afterwards. Occasionally you might experience redness or swelling for a few hours, or on rare occasions, for a few days.

The benefits:

• Reduces facial wrinkles and fine lines
• Treats sun damage, including age spots and brown pigmentation
• Will improve broken blood vessels, red and blue facial veins
• You can return to normal activities immediately
• It's safe for the face, chest, neck, hands and anywhere that sun damage shows

Before any treatment, the doctor will discuss your requirements and expectations and recommend a personalised treatment plan. This cost-effective treatment gets fantastic results, without the use of needles or invasive cosmetic surgery.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With a PDO Thread Lift Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young and in our prime, the skin on our face is usually smooth and taut but we all grow older, and the worst part of this is seeing the way our face ages. These changes can make us feel self-conscious and many of us would like to turn back time.

It's quite demoralising when we get to an age when our features are no longer as sharp or as defined as they once were. The facial profile suddenly becomes a bit blurry and we notice that our cheekbones are starting to sag down our face, causing the jaw-line to become undefined and the neck starts to look wrinkly.

Collagen is lost over time, making the skin less elastic. This looser skin is gradually pulled downwards, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, and resulting in jowls in the lower face, making us look older. Today's women prefer less invasive and non-invasive treatments that involve less recovery time and less self-care after the treatment.

An ideal cosmetic treatment that will tighten and tone the loose skin, without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure, is a PDO thread lift. This thread lift can deliver what is essentially a face lift, but without the invasive surgery. There are no cuts or incisions, just simple injections which we place in strategic places on the face.

A PDO thread lift will lift loose or sagging skin, improving and rejuvenating the of the structure of the face. PDO threads are inserted into the skin with a very fine needle, either just under the skin, or in the fatty layer just beneath the skin, lifting the tissue and muscle and greatly improving the texture of the skin. It's a minimally invasive treatment achieving tighter, younger looking skin and lasting for up to two years. The threads are absorbable so they don't need removing from the body. Once inserted, they will pull up the jaw-line, lift the cheeks and will reduce the lines around the eyes, nose and mouth, and tighten the neck.

An instant facial lift is often noticeable straight after the treatment, but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards. The PDO threads produce collagen around the threads and the new collagen that's produced, lifts the skin and creates more volume.

PDO threads get inserted all over the face and combine beautifully with dermal fillers to reveal a new, rejuvenated you. Thread lifts are an extremely versatile treatment, they're very simple, safe and almost painless. It's a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure that leaves you with a natural, rejuvenated look.

Refresh Your Skin With Treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't stop our face from getting older, but it's hard when you can see the noticeable signs of ageing such as fine wrinkles around the eyes or lips, or maybe pigmentation spots when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Sometimes though, there are ordinary things apart from ageing, which over time can take a toll on the skin and add years to our face. 

Acne marks and scarring ruin the texture of the skin and leave it looking uneven, so try hard not to pick at your spots. Given the amount of germs and bacteria that's hidden on the hands and under your nails, it's just not sanitary to touch and pick at your spots, it can cause breakouts and make existing spots even worse. Picking at your spots, ingrown hairs, blackheads or anything else on your face can have permanent effects and even leave scars.

Cleanse - Gently wash your face morning and night, avoiding cleansers with a high alcohol content and drying agents.
Exfoliate -  The complexion becomes dull and uneven as dead cells accumulate, so make sure you exfoliate your skin weekly. Using a gentle facial scrub which will help to keep the skin smooth, healthy and fresh.
Moisturise -  Apply moisturiser over your face twice a day, not forgetting to treat the neck and the back of your hands. Dry skin loses its elasticity and this is when wrinkles begin to form.

Exposure to the sun is the number one reason for skin ageing, so always wear sun screen. Over time too much excess sun damages the skin, causing wrinkles, loss of elasticity, visible blood vessels, hyper-pigmentation and even skin cancer. Even if you aren't sunbathing you should still protect your skin by wearing sun cream every day.

Not doing so can result in:

• Losing elasticity in the skin
• Translucent, thinner looking skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dry, rough skin
• Liver spots on the face, back of hands, arms and body
• Broken veins and capillaries
• Skin cancer

It's said that a third of women go to bed, at least twice a week, without removing their make-up. Stale make-up can clog up the pores making them look larger, resulting in a decline in the collagen and making the skin less supple. Leaving make-up on through the night can result in an overgrowth of bacteria on your face, it can cause acne and give the skin a dull, unhealthy look.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can soften the effects ageing with non-surgical cosmetic procedures. There are many cosmetic procedures for the face, such as botox, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, lip augmentation and fillers to plump up your lips, laser treatment to remove blemishes, moles and thread veins and chemical peels and microdermabrasion to smooth the surface of your skin.
