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

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

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

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

We use Botox for:

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

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

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

Smooth The Skin's Texture Using Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The look and texture of the skin can change over the years making treatments such as microdermabrasion ideal for refreshing and rejuvenating the face. The mild exfoliation of the skin will help to erase fine lines and wrinkles, as well as unclogging and minimising the pores. The treatment can lessen age spots, hyperpigmentation and superficial sun damage, whilst medical microdermabrasion, which give a deeper medical exfoliation, is ideal for mild acne scars.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic our experienced practitioner can easily give professional skin treatments such as a chemical peel or microdermabrasion, treatments which can penetrate deeper into the skin than similar products that people use at home. These treatments will cause the dull, dead skin cells to turnover faster and can also treat a great number of other skin concerns.

Exfoliating at home - do's and don'ts;

*  Don't exfoliate every day. People think it will leave them with a clearer skin, but over-exfoliating can damage your healthy skin cells, leaving the skin irritated, dry and red. Instead, exfoliating twice a week is more than enough to keep your complexion looking bright.
*  Do use a good quality exfoliator with active ingredients, as this will encourage new cell turnover, whilst helping to take off any dull and dead skin cells from the skin's top layer. This will help to unclog and clear the pores, leaving you with a brighter, fresher complexion.
*  Don't exfoliate irritated skin. You should stop exfoliating straight away if it's causing skin irritation or has made your skin over-sensitive, as it's important not to damage the skin's barrier. Only start using exfoliation once your skin has returned to normal.

At a consultation at our clinic you'll meet your practitioner and they will assess your skin and suitability for treatment. After explaining  the microdermabrasion procedure, recovery, likely outcomes and costs, they will go through your past medical history and answer any questions you might have. The microdermabrasion treatment uses a light mist of crystals on the upper layer of the skin, which will gently and painlessly dislodge the dead and dull cells, whilst its vacuum suction will simultaneously remove both the crystals and dead cells. This results in a polished, smooth and glowing skin.

Microdermabrasion is one of the simplest and least disruptive skin treatments and is ideal even for people with sensitive skin. The treatment can help you improve any skin conditions or imperfections such as; fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, oily or dull skin and pigmentation. Microdermabrasion gives fast and long-lasting results.

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.

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

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

Botox Treatment Before and After

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

Botox treatment can also be used for:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Botox brow lift

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

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

Botox has many benefits:

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

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

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

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

Safe Botox Treatment in Reputable Clinics - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Surprisingly anyone, regardless of qualifications or experience, can administer non-surgical cosmetic treatments like botox, meaning that every year in the UK, thousands of people suffer at the hands of untrained practitioners. Deciding where to go for botox treatment for the first time is difficult, but there are things that you can check, so you pick the right clinic, making sure that you're putting your health and appearance into the hands of the right people.

It's perfectly legal for anyone, regardless of what knowledge, ability, qualifications or experience they might have, to administer treatments to the paying customer. Treatments given by untrained people can result in injuries ranging from infections, burns, scarring and allergic reactions. The most popular and most used non-surgical cosmetic procedure is botox; the injectable treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, but to keep yourself safe, there are certain things to think about before deciding to have botox.

You should only go to a qualified and trained practitioner, preferably a doctor with experience in cosmetic treatments, and who has specialised, had training in facial anatomy and has a well-developed aesthetic eye.

• You can easily check out UK doctors on the registration checking service, which allows you to check a doctors GMC status online.
• Most reputable clinics offer a free consultation to clients, where you can enquire about different cosmetic procedures and find out what's involved in your chosen treatments before you commit yourself.
• Botox parties at home aren't safe or suitable places to have treatment. Avoid.
• Although most people tolerate injections, there are some people more sensitive to needles than others. Usually topical anesthetic creams or gels get applied to numb the area before any injections. Botox needles are very thin and the injections aren't very deep, so any discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal.
• The Practitioner/Doctor should offer a 2-week follow-up review.
• After injections, there's always some slight swelling and bruising, regardless of the experience and skill of your doctor. Significant results will show after 3-7 days when everything has settled down.
• Less is more, so always be aware that over-treating the face can make the face expressionless and mask-like.

Having botox injected into your facial muscles is a skilled procedure and should only be administered by professionals. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we provide an extensive range of cosmetic procedures, from botox, to vaser lipo, to laser hair removal etc, for the face and body.

Rejuvenate Your Face with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Whether it's checking that our make-up is still in place, looking for mascara smudges under the eyes, glancing at our teeth for lipstick marks or maybe to check if there's a pimple, it's said that women look at themselves in the mirror at least eight times a day, but really, the main reason we check out our reflection, is for a sense of reassurance.

The signs of facial ageing in women statistically begins to show by about the age of twenty five. The first signs of ageing are fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and the frown lines between the eyebrows are common too. There are times when our face seems to look older than our actual years; sometimes this is just bad luck with our genes, but smoking lines at the mouth or over exposure of the sun are things which give us more lines than the norm. Fortunately we can dramatically reduce or even remove these lines with some strategically placed botox injections.

Lines and wrinkles form because of the constant movement of muscles in actions such as; scowling, squinting and the raising of eyebrows. In time, these creases become permanent, because skin which is regularly being creased in the same place, doesn't get a chance to smooth out, and this is where botox treatment can help.

Although botox is a toxin, when it's used properly it isn't a high risk procedure at all, and has been safely used by medical and cosmetic practitioners for the last 30 years. Having botox injection treatment is fast becoming as common as getting your nails done, your roots touched up at the hairdressers and having your legs waxed. Just twenty minutes of your time having botox can give you a much fresher, smoother look, as it relaxes the facial muscles so that you can't frown, and softens any deeper lines that you might have.

The botox procedure takes about 20 minutes and needs no anaesthetic. Botox gets injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles and only causes minor discomfort. Botox usually takes effect within 5 to 14 days after the procedure, and the result is that we don't frown as much, or crinkle our eyes when we are smiling. Botox often lasts up to four months and you will find the lines and wrinkles looking less severe with time because the botox has taught the muscles to relax.

Erase Laugh Lines with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Facial expressions are a huge part of our life, and the more mobile the expressions we use when we talk, smile or laugh, the greater chance that deep laugh lines will develop at a younger age. People often feel that laugh lines will make their face look fatigued or drawn, but it's when these lines become more pronounced, that they become a problem.

Nasolabial folds are the two folds of skin that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are natural facial contours which are commonly known as smile lines or laughter lines. Nasolabial folds can appear on the face of people as early as their 20's and they can be relatively fine, maybe just a fine wrinkle or become a deep fold, to the point that the skin above seems to hang over it.

There are several ways of reducing nasolabial folds, from topical treatments, to more invasive courses of action.

• Creams and Serums - Using topical creams and serums may only be a short-term solution. Most of these creams contain ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid which improves the way the skin retains moisture, tretinoin which slows the breakdown of collagen, and exfoliants which help remove dead skin cells.
• Cosmetic Surgery - Surgery is an expensive but long-term solution for reducing nasolabial folds, but it's an invasive surgical procedure and it's not a decision to take lightly. A facelift can reduce laugh lines, as the tightening of the skin makes the folds more shallow and less noticeable.
• Dermal Fillers - Fillers offer the most effective non-surgical method for treating these lines. Non-permanent dermal fillers present a non-invasive and cost-effective means of treatment.

These facial lines are part of our normal anatomy and they can develop at any age and in fact, many of us grow up with a slight hint of laugh lines, but with time as we grow older, the fold can seem deeper as our skin loses volume. As we age we lose the elasticity in the skin, and our facial muscles weaken, making this area one of the first places to sag.

Dermal filler treatment usually takes 30-45 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any potential discomfort. Correction or softening of these folds gives you a youthful fresher look and the results achieved by using dermal fillers for treating the nasolabial folds are stunning and natural looking.

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

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

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

How botox can help;

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

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

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

Botox can treat many facial areas and concerns, including;

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

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

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

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

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

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