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

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

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

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

  

Ageing will cause:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ease Nasolabial Grooves With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Everyone who looks at our face can easily see any obvious signs of ageing, after all, it's not a feature we can hide. How fast these signs of ageing happen varies from one person to another. There are lots of things which contribute to these changes, such as; our lifestyle, environment, genetics and our gender.

Dermal filler injections can improve lots of specific areas from ageing signs, with treatments such as; non-surgical nose-jobs, replacing volume in the chin, cheeks and tear troughs, plumping up thinning lips and improving the deep folds of laughter lines.

Deep nasolabial folds, or laugh lines are the large visible lines that run from the nose to the side of the mouth. Genetics and our facial structure partially decide how prominent and deep the nasolabial folds will get, and repeated facial expressions and the ageing process will exaggerate the lines, making them deeper.

The natural ageing process and the effects of excessive sun exposure can result in the face losing collagen, fat and elasticity, causing the face to sag and lose volume. Losing weight can also affect the face and sometimes not in a good way, as gravity can pull down fat and soft tissue which usually sits high up on the cheeks, causing sagging cheeks. This combined with the effects of gravity can cause nasolabial lines to appear. The smile lines go from the mouth to the nose, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip, generally becoming more pronounced the older we get.

Cosmetic treatments can treat facial ageing in many ways by using effective treatments. Dermal fillers can successfully restore areas of lost volume and injections of hyaluronic acid based filler will also smooth out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are highly effective in correcting nasolabial lines. The filler adds extra fullness to where wrinkles and folds are most prominent, smoothing out lines and restoring and enhancing the facial shape. Fillers will improve your looks, enhance your profile and leave your face with a natural expression. They are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery and the correction or softening of these folds gives your face a youthful fresher look.

Any side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising from the injections, are usually instantaneous, but quickly subside, and a numbing cream can easily be applied to minimise any discomfort. Injectable dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to temporarily improve fine lines, wrinkles and deep-set folds such as nasolabial lines as they can thicken the skin, reduce the lines and also restore and moisturise the skin.

Add Volume & Enhance Your Lips With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The lips are a main focal point of the face, but by the time we reach thirty our lips can lose volume and become thinner, they can start to get noticeable lines and lose their definition. All this can become even more obvious as we age, making us look older than we are.

Over time the lip volume depletes and there's a loss of contour, leaving the lips looking thinner and flatter. Dermal fillers are an ideal way to enhance the lip volume and redefine the lip shape. It's a cosmetic treatment suitable for both women and men who want to increase their lip size, or for those who aren't happy with their naturally thin lips. Fillers are also a good treatment for correcting lip creases, softening the lines, preventing lipstick bleeds and enhancing the area around the mouth.

When you have decided to have lip filler treatment you should ask the doctor how the filler injections can improve your lips, making sure they know what look you're hoping to achieve. If you're nervous about discomfort, then we can apply a topical numbing cream to the injection area, making your treatment more comfortable. After cleansing and disinfecting the mouth area, the doctor will inject the dermal filler precisely into the chosen areas, using an ultra-fine needle. There'll be only a minimal amount of discomfort and maybe some slight bruising.

* Lip filler treatments usually take less than an hour
* The results are visible immediately
* After treatment a cold compress on the lips can help to prevent swelling
* After your treatment, your lips should feel natural
* Lipstick or other lip products are best avoided immediately after your treatment

You don't necessarily need lots of volume to give you beautiful results as some lips only need a tiny amount of filler to make a big difference. As we get older we naturally lose hyaluronic acid making the lips shrink. A cosmetic doctor can treat the lips, restoring them and making them look like the lips we had in our youth. Lip enhancement treatments will shape the smile, restore the volume and achieve beautiful, fresh and fuller lips.

A good cosmetic doctor will look at your whole face, and keep your lips in proportion, making sure you keep that all important natural look. We would all like beautiful lips with definition and shape to give us a great smile and to compliment the natural beauty of our face.

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.

Straighten Nose Bumps With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As a focal feature of the face, the nose plays a vital role in facial proportions and perceived beauty, and it can cause great distress when we have a facial feature that's out of proportion with the rest of the face. Lots of people dislike the shape of their nose, but unfortunately it's a prominent feature on the face, and one that's difficult to disguise. An uneven, bumpy nose can affect your self-esteem, particularly in photographs, and especially when the photo shows your face in profile.

Even making a small difference to the shape of the nose can improve the look and balance of the face. Injections of dermal filler can change a number of variations in nasal shapes, bringing harmony to the rest of the face.

The reasons we get a bumpy nose are either because of:

Genetics - A hook or a bumpy nose is one of many dominant traits that we might inherit though our genes. Whether it's a nose that's large, hooked or bumpy, or a nose that just isn't quite symmetrical.

Injury - A broken nose might not always heal properly and this can leave you with a crooked, misshapen nose. After a nasal injury, calcium deposits and bone growth in the area might form a dorsal bump, or make an existing bump seem even more prominent.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure which involves reshaping or altering the nose, using injectable fillers. Sometimes known as liquid nose jobs, these non-surgical treatments involve strategically placed fillers which can change the nose's appearance if you're unhappy with the shape, or maybe you have an unattractive bump, depression or asymmetry.

Dermal filler treatment is ideal for those who have:

A slightly crooked nose
A nose that needs building up
A hook shaped nose that needs straightening
A mild to moderate bump on the bridge of the nose
A mild to moderate drooping of nasal tip
Noses that need more height, definition and a nose tip

A dermal filler nose job can create a beautiful and desirable nose, which not only helps to shape and straighten the nose, but is also able to lift the tip. There's no downtime needed after the procedure, and any minor bruising or redness usually goes away in a few days and can easily be covered by make-up. Dermal fillers aren't permanent and will stay in the body for about nine to twelve months, so further treatment might be needed to keep up your desired appearance.

Men Can Also Benefit From Botox & Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't influence what effects the passage of time has on our skin, but we can try minimising its impact. Men today seem more aware of the cosmetic treatments available to them and have a more open attitude towards using them, to stay looking youthful. It isn't just women who want to look their best, these days men are also paying extra attention to their appearance. When it comes to getting older, we tend to think that men improve with age more than women, believing that men grow older in a more distinguished way.

Ageing happens to us all, but whatever age we are, it's never too early to start looking after our skin and maintaining our appearance. Lots of older, mature men look fantastic for their age, sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes it's because they've had a bit of help along the way. Anti-ageing treatments for men have become increasingly common place and the numbers of men having cosmetic treatments are on the rise.

Men have the same basic concerns about ageing as women. They want to soften the signs of ageing and look as good possible for their age and there are many subtle, undetectable treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and microdermabrasion which can help.

Men seek anti-ageing treatments for certain things:

• Lines and wrinkles - Botox can lessen and soften the wrinkles which are present even on the relaxed resting face. Frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crows feet can all benefit from botox injections.
• A tired appearance - It's annoying when we look overly tired despite getting adequate sleep. Eye bags, dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes (tear troughs) are particular concerns, which dermal fillers can rectify. Dermal fillers can also soften deep lines and furrows on the face and replace lost volume to gaunt cheeks.
• Pigmentation - Age spots, mild scars, fine lines and sun damage are signs of ageing that can easily be treated with microdermabrasion, which can dramatically improve the skin's texture and tone.

The popularity for cosmetic procedures isn't just restricted to younger men; men of all ages seek cosmetic treatments to improve their looks, to slow down the signs of ageing and to give them healthy-looking skin. The number of men undergoing anti-ageing cosmetic treatments has dramatically risen in the last decade and some men now spend as much time caring for their appearance as women do.

Define The Chin & Jaw Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the first things we notice about the face starting to look older, is the loss of volume, which may happen because of the natural ageing process, or we might notice it when we lose weight, but even those with athletic, slim bodies can experience diminished volume in the face, resulting in hollows and loss of definition.

There are many cosmetic techniques that can restore facial volume to give a youthful, natural appearance. Dermal fillers offer a safe, non-invasive method of replacing volume loss, restoring facial balance, creating symmetry and improving the definition on features such as the chin, eyes, cheeks and jaw line.

Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment for:
* Lip Enhancement - giving the lips more definition
* Lip Augmentation - adding volume, giving the lips a fuller appearance
* Tear Troughs - to add volume and correct the hollows under and around the eyes
* Lip Creases - softening the depth of smokers lines around the mouth
* Nasolabial Folds - correcting the deep grooves at the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth
* Cheek Enhancement - enhancing and contouring the cheeks, to create higher cheekbones
* Jowls Correction - defining the jaw line to create a more defined, attractive line
* Marionette Lines - to lessen the lines that give you a turned down smile
* Nose - straightening out bumps, lifting the tip or improving the nose shape
* Chin - to define and change the contours of your chin

You might have always been quite happy with the shape of your face, but everything on the body changes as we get older and the chin is no exception. You may notice small changes over time; your chin can decrease in size and the jaw line can change shape. Dermal filler can easily be injected into the chin, to make it seem more prominent or increase the definition. Most women want to have a softer contoured chin, while men prefer to have a more masculine chiselled chin.

Dermal fillers for chin augmentation can:

• Improve the symmetry of the chin
• Improve self-confidence
• Give a defined, stronger jaw line to improve the appearance
• Gently reshape a weak chin
• Achieve a completely natural looking result

Re-shaping the chin using dermal filler will add definition, balance and symmetry to the chin using long-lasting dermal fillers in a non-surgical treatment. Dermal filler injections will improve an under developed chin, restoring a natural balance to the face.

Replace Lost Volume in the Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has plump apple cheeks, smooth contours and a natural glow, but as we get older, we lose volume due to the loss of collagen, which takes away this natural glow. Keeping our face looking youthful is achievable using injectable treatments and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Dermal fillers can enhance your cheeks by filling in lost volume and bringing back a smoother, fuller and healthier look to your skin. Filler containing hyaluronic acid is a very good choice because of its excellent compatibility with the human body, making it ideal to erase facial wrinkles and lines and replace volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found the body and when used in a filler it acts as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells.

Filler is used to:
*  Create higher cheekbones
*  Minimise harsh angles creating a smoother cheek contour
*  Give the cheek a natural curve
*  Fill in hollow cheeks

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately they don't come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheek, making them seem hollow and gaunt but using facial filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this, and bring the back the symmetry of the face. The three main landmarks on the face are the nose, cheeks and chin, and the facial structure might seem unbalanced when one of these is out of proportion.

A practitioner will inject dermal filler into the hollow areas, and you'll immediately notice the difference as the wrinkles vanish and the sunken areas get more volume. When our body's own collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin, and temporarily replenish the skin's volume.

Facial fillers are a simple solution and they offer many benefits:

• They're minimally invasive
• Results are instantly visible, although the full results may take a couple of weeks to appear
• Procedure takes less than an hour
• Minimal downtime required after the treatment
• Results will last from nine months to a year

The dermal filler will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones. Higher, fuller cheeks can enhance your appearance, balance your other facial features and instantly restore your face to a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are ideal for those who want to look younger and fresher without the need for invasive surgery. They can work wonders for skin that has wrinkles and volume loss and these treatments are a wonderful option to fight the signs of ageing.

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.

Tear Troughs - Fill In Eye Hollows With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fresh looking eyes are a big asset to our overall facial appearance, we want to make a good first impression when we meet someone, we don't want them to only notice how tired and drawn we look. As we get older our face changes, and we begin to notice things like loss of volume and the skin getting thinner, and this, along with a natural decrease in fatty tissue and a loss of skin elasticity will cause the area beneath the eye to become puffy and shadowy.

The natural depression that follows the curve of the eye socket, from the nose around to the underside of the eye is known as the tear trough, because that’s where the tears gather. Getting dark circles beneath the eyes are a common problem as we age, and they can make us look weary. As well as ageing; smoking, the environment and stress can also contribute to shadows and eye bags, making them look worse.

When we're young, distribution of fat in our face is even, with some fat pockets plumping up the cheeks, forehead, temples and around the eyes and the mouth. As we get older, we lose volume as the fat shifts downward, making the features that were once rounded start to sink and become gaunt. This means that other parts of the face gain some fat, which tends to settle under the chin and around the jowls in the neck.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and we can see the underlying capillaries much easier compared to other parts of the face, making any diminished circulation, puffiness or swelling much more noticeable. Replacing volume in the under eye area can reshape the entire face and dermal fillers are now regularly used to fill in the hollows. Filling in these depressions can take away the tired look on your face and lighten the dark circles around the eyes.

Tear trough treatment will:

• Banish dark circles and bags from under the eye
• Ease wrinkles and lines
• Add volume to the under-eye area
• Get instant results that will last around 6-8 months
• Leave you feeling and looking more youthful

Tear trough treatment using dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that can restore your looks instantly. The filler gets precisely injected into the skin using very fine needles, re-creating the plump, firm skin that your under eye area used to have. A good cosmetic doctor with experience of injecting dermal fillers will have a trained eye for what looks good and what will suit your face. It's important to avoid an overdone and unnatural look, aiming instead for natural-looking results to make you look younger and more refreshed.

Add Volume to Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unfortunately over time we lose volume in our lips and gain fine lines around the borders meaning they no longer look as youthful as they once did. We begin to notice that the vermilion borders and the cupid's bow are becoming less defined and the philtrum ridge between the nose and mouth starts to flatten out.

A lip enhancement treatment can improve your overall facial appearance, not just the lips. Filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that will enhance your lips giving them a fuller, plumper look and smooth out any fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area, giving it a more youthful look.

It's wise to always do your research when choosing somebody to enhance your lips, as turning ordinary lips into beautiful lips is a skill that requires a lot of practice and ability. It's essential that you choose a qualified specialist cosmetic practitioner who has lots of experience in performing injectable treatments, one who combines artistry and expert ability with every treatment they perform. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we will aim to give you a subtle lip enhancement which will show off the natural shape of the lip, reducing the asymmetry and giving the lip a well-defined border.

The practitioner will perform the lip filler treatment by injection using an ultra fine needle, restoring volume to areas where it's been lost due to ageing, or to lips which are naturally thin. Dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid which is ideal for lip treatments, as it's a naturally occurring protein that's found in the human body and this means that side effects are very rare.

As the lips are a very sensitive part of the face, it's normal to feel slightly uncomfortable during the lip enhancement treatment. However, dermal fillers do contain a numbing agent to lessen any discomfort during the procedure, and we also apply a local anaesthetic cream to the lips, twenty to thirty minutes before the treatment takes place.

Unfortunately, dermal filler lip enhancements are not a permanent solution, because over time the body will gradually break down the fillers and they will naturally disperse back into the body, so eventually you'll need to top up the filler if you want to keep the look. The results of most dermal fillers will typically last about six to eight months and the practitioner will let you know how soon you'll need to return for a top up treatment.

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.

Profhilo & Dermal Fillers for Wrinkly Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the few places on the body that actually loses fat as we age, is the backs of the hands. As we age our hands lose their firmness and volume, causing the veins and tendons to become more prominent. The skin on the hands is naturally thin and with continued exposure to the elements causes the skin to get thinner, drier and rougher.

Our hands are one of the first areas that tend to show signs of ageing, more so than other parts of the body. The hands, face and neck are the most visible areas of the body as they aren't usually covered with clothing. The sun, wind and rain, over the years, can cause our hands to become scaly, and sun-damage will cause wrinkles and visible veins, which makes them look older than they actually are. Over time our hands lose volume, fat and elasticity and become translucent and wrinkly and this results in the veins, tendons and bony structures becoming more obvious.

Before and after Profhilo injections

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:

• Age / Sun spots - We get pigmentation spots on the hands after years of exposure to the sun, and without intervention they will multiply, remember to always apply sun screen into your hands.
• Prominent veins - The loss of volume will leave the hands thinner and bony, and this will make the veins more prominent.
• Dry skin - As with the face, a dry, dull complexion will make your hands look older than they are, so putting on an emollient-rich hand cream will help to improve the skin.
• Crinkly skin - As we age, the body produces less collagen and when the hands lose collagen, the skin on the hands gets thinner and they start to look dry and crumpled.

Exposure to the sun can quickly age your hands, but the bigger problem is volume loss. Both dermal filler and Profhilo treatment can help.

Profhilo is an anti wrinkle injectable treatment that can work on many parts of the body. It's an injectable that's made from hyaluronic acid and is perfect for addressing areas where wrinkles are evident, as it stimulates the area to produce more collagen. We inject Profhilo superficially into the skin on the back of the hands at specific points called BAP (bio-active points)

Before and after dermal filler injections

Dermal fillers will restore lost volume and plump up bony hands, making prominent veins look less obvious. The dermal fillers are delicately inserted with very fine needles after applying topical anaesthetic to numb the injection area. The quality and texture of your skin improves with dermal filler treatment and decreases wrinkles and prominent veins.

Fill In Ageing Tear Troughs With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spending ages applying your make-up can feel such a waste of time when you then look in the mirror, and all you notice is how tired your eyes look. The area around the eyes has extremely thin skin, which means it's one of the first areas on the face to show ageing. As we age, the facial skeleton can shrink inwards, and everything resting on top of it will fall downwards, causing a hollowness around the eyes and creating shadows which can make us look exhausted.

Sunken eye hollows can cause you to feel disheartened when you notice the lost volume under the eyes. The volume loss can start in your early twenties, becoming more obvious as you age. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, and unfortunately they will inevitably worsen as you get older. 

Reasons we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes:

• Ageing
• The most common reason is that it's heredity
• The loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids 
• Collagen loss in the skin, due to age and sun damage
• A temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area caused by dehydration

The tear trough extends from the inner corner of the eye, making an arc shape and continuing on to the outer corner, like a crescent-shaped area under your eye. The delicate skin beneath your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow, and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or lack of sleep.

A pronounced dip under the eye creates shadows and can leave you looking tired and older than your years. Injecting dermal filler into the eye hollow can smooth the area, lessen the look of the dark circles and rejuvenate the area. Tear trough treatment places the dermal filler below the skin, which will lift up the tissues, replace the volume and will make the tear trough area seem more shallow.

There are many descriptions used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Bags
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles
• Tired eyes
• Tear troughs
• Under-eye hollows

Injecting dermal filler for tear trough treatment is almost painless, needing only a small application of local anaesthetic numbing cream twenty minutes before the injection treatment starts. The practitioner uses a cannula for tear trough injections, as this technique minimises bruising, and is a gentler technique. The recovery time is very quick, although patients may experience some redness and swelling, but this can easily be minimised and covered up with make-up.

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

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

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

Botox injections

Lots of thing contribute to facial ageing:

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

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

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

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

Experienced and fully trained doctors will advise you from a range of treatments, and will tailor a treatment plan specifically for you - from solo treatments or combining a variety of different procedures.

Smooth Out Nose Bumps with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The nose is the central feature of your face, and the size and shape of it can have a huge effect on your overall appearance. Until quite recently, if you wanted to straighten a bumpy nose, then surgical rhinoplasty was your only option, but a surgical treatment is an extremely invasive procedure, involving a lengthy and painful recovery time.

If your nose isn't in proportion, has a hook or looks crooked, it can really affect your self-confidence. Lots of people are unaware that most nose bumps can easily be treated by adding dermal filler to the nose, and reshaping it, by slightly filling indentations and smoothing out any bumps and irregularities.

Reasons for considering non-surgical nose job might include:

* Providing a rounder appearance to flat nasal bridges, and creating a subtle increase in height
* Giving the tip of the nose a lift
* Creating a balanced appearance for crooked or hooked noses
* Balancing the size of the nose in comparison with other facial features
* Smoothing humps or bumps
* Refining an asymmetrical nose
* Correcting a mild drooping of the nasal tip

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure using dermal fillers to alter or reshape hooked or bumpy noses and improving the symmetry. This procedure is also known as a liquid nose job, and it's become a popular treatment for people of a variety of age groups. It's an excellent option for those who are unhappy with the shape of their noses but don't necessarily want to have invasive surgery.
The non-surgical nose job uses dermal filler via a needle injection, instead of a scalpel. The nose gets injected with a fine needle to soften, shape and straighten the nose, without resorting to invasive surgery.

Dermal filler treatment is a quick and simple procedure and you can return to work the next day. The results of non-surgical nose jobs are less dramatic compared to surgical rhinoplasty, the treatment won't improve nostril retraction or nasal obstruction, and it can't make large noses smaller.

The filler treatment should aim to create a natural looking reshaped nose and any later top-up treatments can always build on the effect in a soft and subtle way, so that you get the nose shape you want. For the best results always make sure to find a cosmetic physician with a high level of ability, advanced knowledge in nasal anatomy and experience in non-surgical rhinoplasty.

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.

Define the Chin & Jaw Line with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Loss of definition along the jaw line is usually one of the first signs of ageing that people notice about themselves. Many things can make the jowls start to sag, such as gaining weight, losing weight and genetics, but usually it's the loss of skin tone and the effects of gravity that are most to blame. It might take longer for jowls to become noticeable for those with a fuller face, but if your face is thin, then they may start to show earlier. When we age we lose definition in the jaw, but the good news is that you are now able to correct the sagging jowls and regain a beautifully defined jaw line.

Facial fillers can help to recapture the look of a strong jaw that's beginning to sag, but carefully placed filler injections can create a more prominent desired look for those with a less-defined jaw line, Giving strength to the chin and jaw with dermal fillers can also help to prevent premature ageing of the lower face, as the firmer jaw line can give better support to the weight of the cheek. Filler treatments can provide a non-invasive, non-surgical way to get the strong jaw you want, restoring definition to the chin and jaw line, without any invasive surgery.

Injecting dermal filler into the lower edge of the jaw can:

• Improve the facial profile
• Create a more prominent and defined chin
• Make the face seem younger
• Restore volume to sagging jowls
• Create a straighter, firmer jaw line

One glance at somebody's facial profile will instantly show you a weak chin and undefined jaw line. Your profile doesn't matter that much to you when you're looking straight into the mirror, but your profile is there for everyone else to see, when they are looking at your face from different angles. While wrinkles may age you, it's actually the shape of your face that's making you look older but it's very easy to improve these issues by having dermal filler treatment.

Dermal filler can easily be used on the chin, creating a more balanced profile. Fillers can re-sculpt the lower face and restore volume, creating a youthful facial contour. A strong chin adds definition to your face, enhances your appearance and brings a balance to your facial features. If the sagging is mild to moderate, injectable treatments such as dermal filler can easily correct the problem.

Restore Ageing Lips with Dermal Filler at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Some people have lips that are naturally thin or they're sagging and thinning due to ageing. As we get older, our lips will develop fine lines and wrinkles and naturally lose their shape and size. We all aspire to have lips that are perfectly sculptured and sensuous, with enough substance and volume to make them look youthful.

A lip enhancement is a cosmetic procedure that will add more volume, substance and definition to the lips. A lip filler procedure can not only enhance your lips, but it can easily improve your overall appearance by balancing and restoring your face perfectly, with full and flattering lips.

The thought of having dermal fillers injected into the lips can sometimes make people nervous, but our fully trained, experienced practitioner, Dr Bassi, who has a vast experience in injectable treatments, will discuss the process and what you want at your consultation. His ultimate aim is to make sure that all of his clients leave the clinic looking and feeling their very best.

Dermal fillers can improve the lips by adding shape, structure and volume. They can compensate for the ageing process by smoothing wrinkles and correcting the smoker's lines around the mouth. Lip augmentation treatment can give your lips the outline and definition that time has destroyed, enhancing thin, ageing or asymmetrical lips, by adding volume, definition, lifting the corners of the mouth and reducing smoker's lines.

Slight lip enhancement for the mature lady, to suit her face and age. 

Dermal fillers are ideal for lip plumping as:

• The fillers are uniquely formulated to give your lips fullness and definition
• The injections are completely controlled, and you can decide if you want a subtle, dramatic, or in-between look
• Fillers provide natural looking results with just one treatment
• Lip injections allow you to correct unbalanced or uneven lips
• Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body and the most common dermal fillers today are hyaluronic acid based. 

The nice thing about lip fillers is how quickly you'll notice the difference; the results are almost immediate. Following the injections, you may have some minor swelling, but once it wears down the effects of the fillers are easy to see, and you won't have to wait weeks to see your new lips. Lip filler treatments get excellent results and last a considerable amount of time, but they aren't permanent and will need repeating.
