Replace Volume & Enhance The Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby,Mansfield & Chesterfield

High cheekbones are a sign of youth and beauty, but as we age the cheeks can start to lose volume, and though loose skin often gets the blame for facial ageing, it's the loss of volume that's really the main cause.

The structure of our face changes as we grow older, not just the skin's quality but also the underlying support, including the bones, muscles and the fat. The face can begin to shrink in some places which makes the fat and muscle become thinner and more elastic, and gravity will cause fat to slide downwards, leading to jowls and nasolabial lines from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth.

People have different face shapes, some have flat cheeks, others have high cheekbones or maybe they might have apple cheeks. If someone's said to have a baby face they will typically have fuller cheeks, which can make them look younger than others of a similar age. Genetics can decide the shape of the cheeks, as well as bone structure, muscle and fat distribution. The reason some people have full, defined apple cheeks and others have cheeks that are flat is down to gravity. It's a pad of fat under the cheeks which causes the fullness, and it's this that tends to slide lower down the face as we get older.

Hollows in the cheeks are caused by loss of fat from beneath the skin, which on a more mature face can look very ageing. Cheek enhancement by a cosmetic practitioner can restore the fullness using dermal fillers. A subtle enhancing of your cheeks can create the kind of bone structure which we all want to show off.

Benefits of cheek filler injections:

* Treatment uses safe market-leading dermal fillers
* Free consultation with a practitioner who is highly trained in aesthetic facial treatments
* Quick treatment time and immediate results
* Virtually pain-free treatment, as a topical anaesthetic numbs the area being treated
* Minimal bruising and down time
* Excellent after care treatment

Many people think that high cheekbones are a very attractive facial feature and adding volume with dermal filler can give the face a natural-looking symmetry, balance, and a more feminine appearance. Cheek augmentation can enhance your facial contours and balance your features. Dermal fillers can also reshape the face, reducing signs of ageing and by adding volume to the cheeks it will give the face a natural-looking symmetry, and a youthful balance.

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.

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.

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.

Botox & Filler for a Liquid Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unfortunately we'll all get older, and when we do we'll notice our face developing fine lines and wrinkles. Sagging facial skin will make us look tired, and if we lose volume in our face we'll also start to look gaunt. Many people think that invasive face lift surgery is the solution to correct these effects of facial ageing, however there's another option. Instead of going under the knife for a surgical procedure, many people find they'll get fantastic results from a non-surgical procedure such as the liquid face lift.

A liquid face lift is a cosmetic procedure where a combination of injected botox and fillers freshen the face by softening lines and wrinkles and adding volume to the face. When it's strategically placed, botox can give you an eye lift and the dermal filler, when injected into sunken, hollow cheeks will add volume to the face.

Those who can benefit are:

• Clients who aren't quite ready, or who are reluctant to have invasive surgery.
• Those who have slight sagging of the jowls.
• Clients who have lost volume in the cheeks.
• People who have lost volume under the eyes.

Botox and filler can also be injected into the temples, lower eyelids, cheeks and jaw-line to create more youthful facial contours. Using local anaesthetic on the face, means any pain is minimal and unlike a surgical face lift, clients can go back to work the following day.

A liquid face lift treatment would benefit those who want to rejuvenate and refresh their face, making it appear more youthful. It's ideal for those who have lost volume to the face, especially in the cheek and mouth areas. With precision placement of the dermal filler to give tissue support and volume to areas which have sagged, along with strategic injections of botox to erase the fine lines, realistic goals of a refreshed younger looking face are achievable.

Benefits of a non-surgical procedure:

• It's non-invasive, no stitches or cuts and no bleeding
• Fast treatment time - 20 - 30 minutes
• Quick recovery - minor swelling for a few days
• It's affordable
• Back to work - next day
• Duration of results - up to 12 months
• Anaesthetic - local
• Results seen - immediate dramatic results

Having a liquid face lift is a minimal, swift procedure which can take five to seven years off of your facial appearance. It's possible to arrive and leave within an hour, having had a face lift without the need of a scalpel.

Define Your Profile & Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Getting older will happen to us all, and the worst part is looking in the mirror and noticing the way our face is changing. We might see our face beginning to sag, bags appear under the eyes, we might notice the start of jowls and the lack of definition at the jaw line. Sometimes it's almost enough to make us avoid looking in the mirror because we're so self-conscious of our faults.

There comes a time when we reach a certain age, and we start to notice our facial profile has suddenly become a little blurry. The strong definition of our features aren't as sharp as they were, and we lose volume in various areas of our face; under the eyes will become hollow, the fat pads in our cheekbones will diminish making the face look gaunt, we can develop nose to mouth lines giving us jowls, and the skin's elasticity loosens leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

There are some treatment options that we can have to rectify this;

Face lift - we can have a full cosmetic face lift. This however is a painful and costly experience which needs good deal of down time. These days lots women, and men, prefer non-invasive procedures that need less recovery time and less self-care after the treatment.

Dermal Fillers - these can add volume to fill in hollows under the eyes, give the skin a gentle lift, creating higher cheekbones or injected along the jaw line to give definition. Injectable treatments have always been a good option for those not wanting a surgical procedure. Dermal fillers give great results and you can return to work the next day with no-one knowing you've had any treatment, they will just be curious to know how you look so fresh and rejuvenated.

PDO threads lifts- at Selston Cosmetic Clinic we've performed PDO thread lift treatment for a few years now and they can make a massive difference. We can use PDO's as a stand alone treatment or use it together with botox and dermal fillers to get a fantastic result.

The PDO threads we use for this treatment are the same ones used in open heart surgery and over the months they will gradually dissolve. All the time the threads remain under the skin, they cause collagen to form by stimulating the fibroblasts, and this also improves skin tone and radiance. Before treatment, local anaesthetic is given which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections. We place the threads under the skin, and they lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration. The procedure takes less than an hour and the results last between 12-18 months. PDO thread lifts are essentially a face lift without the surgery. There are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places.

Areas suitable for PDO threads;

• Horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles
• Sagging eyebrows
• Bags under the eyes
• Cheeks
• Naso-labial folds
• Marionette lines
• Jaw line
• Creased cheeks

The procedure is almost painless with only a small amount of downtime. You might experience the odd bruise, but these are easily covered with light make-up. If you want to redefine your face, but you don’t want invasive surgery, then PDO thread lift treatment is an ideal solution.

Restore Volume in Sunken Hollow Cheeks using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we age it's common to notice hollows beginning to appear in the cheeks and tear troughs and dark circles under the eyes, which can make the face look older and gaunt. As we get older our skin starts to lose its elasticity and begins showing signs of ageing, leading to the loss of shape and definition of the face.

To lots of people, fuller cheeks and prominent cheekbones are attributes which make us look younger and more attractive. Lots of us would just prefer to have fuller cheeks or we want to replace the lost volume that causes sunken cheeks, and both can easily be treated using dermal fillers.

Dermal filler treatment can help to camouflage bags underneath the eyes and add volume to hollow, sagging cheeks. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can smooth wrinkles and facial folds and bring sunken skin back up to the surface by adding volume. Dermal fillers are an effective way to restore youthful fullness to the face, and the main areas are the eye hollows, the nasolabial lines from the nose to the mouth, the chin, enhancing the lips and the cheeks.

If you've never been blessed with prominent cheekbones or you've lost some fullness because of ageing, then dermal filler is an ideal solution. It's a minimally invasive treatment and it will leave you with natural looking, tighter skin.

Dermal filler treatment can;

• Add volume to the cheeks
• Fill the hollows of tear troughs
• Enhance the jaw line 
• Define the chin
• Plump the lips
• Reduce the nasolabial folds

The skeletal changes we see over time, can accentuate the sagging areas of the face, like the tear troughs, the jowls, and the nasolabial folds. We can inject filler to correct any hollowing which happens through ageing and it will restore the skin’s natural elasticity, and leave the skin feeling firmer and highlighting the restored facial features.

Small amounts of dermal filler get injected into the cheek areas where there the volume has been lost and the injections work straight away, adding volume and subtly lifting the cheek area, temporarily reversing the loss of collagen. This treatment will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones.

The dermal filler treatment gets done in a single appointment, it takes about 40 minutes and there's no downtime. The injections cause only minimal discomfort and there's anaesthetic in the filler itself, making it a fairly painless procedure. The results are instant and last for up to a year.

Re-shape Balance & Define The Face Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Loss of facial volume is one of the first changes that lead to an aged look on the face. The loss of volume may result from the natural ageing process, or you may notice it when you lose weight, although even those with athletic, slim bodies can experience diminished facial volume, resulting in facial hollows and loss of definition.

There are many techniques that can restore and then maintain facial volume, which will give a youthful, natural appearance. Dermal fillers offer a safe, non-invasive method of correcting volume loss, restoring facial balance, creating symmetry and improving the definition of facial features, such as the chin, under the eyes and cheeks.

Dermal filler used on the tear troughs

Dermal fillers can help :

Lip Enhancement - giving the lips more definition
Lip Augmentation - giving greater volume and a fuller appearance to your lips
Tear Troughs - adding volume and correcting the hollows under and around the eyes
Lip Creases - softening the depth of smokers lines around the mouth
Nasolabial Folds - softening or correcting the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth
Cheek Enhancement - contouring and enhancing the cheeks, to create higher cheekbone
Jowls Correction - fillers can define the jaw line to create a more defined, attractive line
Marionette Lines - reduces lines that give you a turned down smile
Nose - used to straighten out bumps, lift the tip or improve your nose shape
Chin - filler can define and change the contours of your chin

Dermal filler treatment on the jowls

Everything on the body changes as we get older and the chin is no exception. You may have always been quite happy with the shape of your face, but as you have aged you may notice that your chin has decreased in size and that your jaw line has changed shape. However, dermal filler can easily be injected into the chin, making 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 facial balance of the forehead, nose and chin.
• 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. Placement of fillers will give small and under developed chins a more natural, fuller chin, restoring natural balance to the face.

Restore Volume to Sunken Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Maintaining a youthful face, is achievable using injectable treatments, and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Hyaluronic acid is a very good choice as a dermal filler, to reduce your facial wrinkles and lines and volume loss, because of its excellent compatibility with the human body. 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.

Ageing and weight-loss are contributing factors when our face begins to look older and worn-out day by day. Collagen is the reason our skin looks fresh and tight, but over time our body will lose vital components such as collagen fibres and elastin, when it gradually starts decreasing in our skin. When our body's own naturally occurring collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin and temporarily replenish the skin’s volume.

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately, they don’t come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheeks, making them seem hollow and gaunt, but using dermal filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this. 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.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, when we inject dermal fillers into the skin where the fine lines, wrinkles and sunken areas are, you will immediately notice the difference, as the wrinkles vanish and the sunken areas achieve more volume. 

The filler treatment plumps up the apples of the cheeks and sculpts the cheek bones. Higher, fuller cheeks can improve 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.

Dermal fillers are a simple solution that offer many benefits :

• The injectable fillers are minimally invasive.
• The results from dermal fillers are instantly visible (full results may take a couple of weeks to appear)
• The procedure takes less than an hour
• There is minimal downtime required after the treatment 
• The results from dermal fillers will last from  9 months to a year. 

Dermal fillers can work wonders for skin which has wrinkles and volume loss, and these treatments are a wonderful option to fight the signs of ageing.

Correct Nasolabial Folds With Dermal Filler Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There isn't any part of the body that's more susceptible to the unwanted effects of ageing, than the face. There are some people who think fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others, just wish to turn back time and regain their youthful look. Luckily for those people, they can rejuvenate their face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments, or even face lift surgery.

Our facial skin starts to develop lines and wrinkles and volume loss as a result of; age, sun damage, stress, gravity and other environmental factors. 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 and evening out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins which keep the skin looking plump and youthful, begins to drop from the age of 25, and it's when these levels decrease that you begin to notice the signs of ageing.

The smile lines, or laughter lines that form between the edge of the nose, to the corner of the mouth are known as the nasolabial folds, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip. The deepening of the nasolabial folds are a common concern which affects many people and it occurs because gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks and gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold. They generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.

Dermal fillers can successfully revolumise areas that have lost volume. Injections of hyaluronic acid restores lost volume of the skin, smoothing out the lines and wrinkles. This improves your looks, enhances your profile and leaves your face with a natural expression. They are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to 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 natural looking. Correction or softening of these folds gives you a youthful fresher look.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, the dermal filler treatment for correcting nasolabial folds normally takes 20 - 30 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any potential discomfort during the procedure. Dr Bassi has performed thousands of injectable treatments and has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner.

There is no downtime and you can return to work or your normal activities immediately. The results are visible immediately, with more improvements in the skin volume becoming noticeable in the following weeks. The dermal filler injections last between 9 - 12 months, and are naturally absorbed back into the body as time passes.

Dermal Filler Injections for Eye Bags, Sunken Eyes & Tear Troughs - Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield & Mansfield

There's nothing worse than spending ages doing your make-up, then looking in the mirror and all you notice is your tired looking eyes. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, although they inevitably worsen, the older you get. Having 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 and they tend to become more obvious with age.

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 under your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or not getting enough sleep.

Why do we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes;

• Ageing.
• The most common reason is heredity.
• Volume loss caused by the loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids .
• Collagen loss in the skin from age and sun damage.
• Dehydration causes a temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area.

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 lifts up the tissues and makes the tear trough seem more shallow.

There are many terms used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles beneath the eyes
• A tired face
• Tear trough hollows
• Under-eye hollows

The tear trough treatment is almost painless and it needs only a small amount of local anaesthetic numbing cream applied to the skin about 20 minutes before the injection treatment starts. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi 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 with cover up make up.

Ways to improve sunken eyes;

• Have 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
• To relieve tiredness, apply slices of cucumber on the eyes to cool the skin and improve the blood circulation.
• Warm or cool tea bags placed on the eyes can improve blood circulation.
• To flush out excess water and reduce the dark, puffy appearance under the eyes, eat foods such as watermelon, celery and cucumber.
• A diet of dark green vegetables, like; spinach, broccoli, kale and sprouts will help with deep sunken eyes.

Many people are unhappy with the depressions and shadows beneath the eyes, and dermal filler treatments to this area are a safe and effective alternative to surgery.

Acheive Younger Smoother Skin With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin is one of our best assets when it comes to beauty. A healthy taut 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 the elasticity. This affects your facial expressions, and you'll find that the skin will sag, and it will develop wrinkles and frown-lines.

A lot of the visible signs of ageing is down to volume loss. When facial tissues lose volume, the cheeks start to look hollow and lines can become etched around the nose and mouth. As we mature, we naturally lose subcutaneous fat in our faces, making our smile lines, frown lines and crow’s feet become more apparent 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. Dermal fillers 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.

We use Dermal fillers to:

• Diminish vertical lip lines
• Fill in hollow tear troughs
• Enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks
• Plump & enhance the lips
• Soften facial wrinkles
• Plump out facial creases

We inject the filler 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. The treatment is quick and easy, and the actual procedure takes around 20 - 60 minutes, depending on the treatment required. Straight after your treatment, you will have slight redness, mild swelling and tenderness, but these effects are temporary.

Botox & Dermal Fillers at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As cosmetic procedures become cheaper and more easily accessible, the more people are turning to botox and dermal fillers in a bid to look younger. But how do you know if what you're buying is the right product, or if it's being carried out by the right person.

Regulation in the cosmetic treatment industry is scant, making it very hard for people who want beauty treatments to know where to go. You want to go somewhere safe and where there's a qualified practitioner, and there are many places that offer these treatments, whether it's at a beauticians, dentists or doctors.

Botox - before and after

So, is it better to go with a doctor? Well, it's advisable that any cosmetic treatments, especially injectable procedures, are carried out by healthcare professionals, such as doctors, dentists and nurses, who have had the correct training in these procedures and use reputable and safe products.

Do your research. Check out all the information on the place where you're having your treatment, before you go. Whether you're checking out its reputation online, on internet forums or by word of mouth.

• Check out the qualifications of the practitioner.
• Always make sure the place you go to have treatment is clean. 
• Avoid gimmicks, like: two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
• Cheapest isn't always the best. Remember, you are having products injected into your face, choose wisely!
• Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.

Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the world, and number two is dermal fillers.

Botox eases the lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements, that etch them into the face. People worry that botox injections will result in a frozen, plastic looking face, but that only happens when too much of the product is injected. If less botox gets injected, it will smooth out the lines, but leave you with natural facial expressions. Before any treatment, you will have a consultation with the doctor, and you can discuss exactly what you do, and what you don't want to look like following your treatment.

Tear troughs - before and after dermal filler

We use dermal fillers to add volume to the cheeks, to the tear troughs under the eyes, at the jaw line and to plump up the lips. Again, people worry about trout pouts and puffy pillow faces that happen when too much filler is injected, and the same rule applies as with the botox, let your doctor know what you do and don't want during the consultation. Less is always more!

Continuity is always a good idea. If you are having botox, fillers or any treatment where you go back for top up's and additional 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!

Dermal Fillers for Younger Looking Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment, used to plump up depressions in the skin. The main reason for depressions in the skin are wrinkles, lines and loss of volume caused by the ageing process. As we age, it's well-known that the skin loses its smoothness, and this happens because the body's natural levels of collagen reduce with age. This causes the skin loses its shape and firmness, which is a problem that dermal fillers can rectify.

Here are a few examples of the use of dermal fillers:

• Achieve greater volume or fuller appearance with lip augmentation.
• Fill in hollow cheek bones to give you a younger appearance.
• Tear trough treatment gives a natural filled out appearance, correcting the hollowed eye look.
• Lip Enhancement gives your lips better definition and reduces lipstick bleed.

Although there are many different types of fillers available, the dermal fillers we use at Selston Cosmetic Clinic are hyaluronic acid based fillers or a calcium hydroxylapatite filler (Radiesse). Dermal fillers should not be confused with Botox, as although both procedures involve injections, Botox gets injected around the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes to stop muscle movement that results in wrinkles, fillers are used for facial volumisation, which involves placing the fillers in strategic places to lift the cheeks and jowls, give volume to the lips and fill deep lines, improving your looks, enhancing your profile and leaving your face with a natural expression.

The brand names of the hyaluronic acid based fillers are:

• Restylane range
• Juvederm Ultra
• Teosyal Kiss and
• Radiesse, which is a calcium hydroxylapatite based filler.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, this woman had dermal filler treatment on the nasolabial folds (or "smile grooves") which are the deep folds running down from the nose to the mouth, that become more prominent as we age.

The results are amazing, leaving her overjoyed at the difference!

Benefits

• A non-invasive treatment with little downtime, so you can return to normal activities straight away
• Reduction of lines and wrinkles to give a more youthful looking appearance
• Will replenish lost volume for a softer more younger look
• Long lasting results

Dermal fillers work by plumping up the treated area and making it level with the rest of the skin, filling out any depressed areas such as wrinkles or sunken cheeks. A very fine needle injects the filler into the treatment area, which adds more structure and firmness to the face. Most people report only a slight discomfort when the dermal fillers get injected, so the treatment usually doesn’t require an anaesthetic and you can go straight back to your normal activities. The results are usually seen instantly and will last for around six to eight months.

Treat Wrinkles & Sunken Cheeks with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The older we get, the greater the possibility that age will catch up with us and begin to show on our face. Once we reach our 50's there's a good chance that we'll have wrinkles and our cheeks will begin to look as though they're going to slide down our face. So, what are our options?

Face lift - A face lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to remove visible signs of ageing. It's invasive surgery usually performed with a general anaesthetic. A face lift tends to work better for the lower face, particularly the jaw line and neck.

Facial exercises - These are a great way to keep the wrinkles in check and tightening up the facial muscles. If you do facial exercises for just ten minutes a day, it will make a huge difference to your face. Simple exercises will strengthen a jaw line, help with a sagging neck and double chin, eyes, cheeks and forehead. You'll start to notice the results after a few weeks and the longer you do the exercises, the tighter your muscles become.

Nose to Mouth Grooves

Dermal fillers - are ideal for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. They get injected into the face, plumping the hollows that can make a face look older than it is. A few syringes of dermal filler, can lift up the cheeks, which also gives a lifting effect on the jaw line and adds volume, restores shape and gives a fuller, fresher appearance.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body. It holds water, which hydrates and gives volume to the skin, but sadly, hyaluronic acid diminishes in production as we age. Dermal filler treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid through a very thin needle. Any discomfort is minimal the treatment itself is quick and the results of the treatment are noticeable straight away. As with any injectable treatment, there may be some slight bruising or swelling but this shouldn't last longer than a day, and can easily be covered up with make up.

Jowl lift

A dermal filler procedure is a popular treatment which helps to 'fill out' and smooth away troublesome:

• Nose to Mouth Grooves.
• Forehead Lines.
• Frown Furrows.
• Lips and lipstick Lines.
• Acne Pits.
• Crows Feet.
• Facial volumisation.
• Sunken Cheeks.
• Shaping the facial contours.

Before and after cheek filler treatment

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have many satisfied clients returning to us for dermal fillers, as they give instant dramatic results, are popularly used and give an instant face lift!

It's a great alternative for those who don't wish to go under the knife, and for those who just want to look the best they can for their age! Dr. Bassi performs dermal filler treatments every day, with excellent results.

Cheek Lift Enhancement to Give a Youthful Appearance - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The more we age, the more we notice the changes happening to our skin. With the onset of time, many ageing effects happen that can make us look tired and less youthful. Ageing causes the facial skin to sag when gravity pulls the skin on the cheek downwards. The fat pad slides down from the cheek bone into the face, which gives the effect of sunken cheeks, on and below the cheek bones.

A plump, full high cheek is a hallmark of a beautiful face. When we lose volume in the cheeks, it can leave us with a gaunt appearance and this is especially true of those who manage to lose lots of weight and others who are naturally slender.

Once upon a time only a facelift or cheek implants could help with restoring facial volume, but these days we have a number of effective, non-surgical treatments. Older skin loses fat and collagen which causes a change of our facial contour, resulting in hollowed cheeks, sagging skin and wrinkles, leading to an overly aged, drawn appearance.

An attractive face is defined by smooth, round contours and high cheekbones. Ageing leads to loss of definition on the cheeks and jaw-line and you might notice shadows around the cheek bone that's associated with loss of fat. Over time your face might change, but dermal filler injections will allow you to subtly control your looks as you age.

Dermal fillers are ideal for smoothing away facial lines and wrinkles, creating fuller lips and shaping facial contours like the cheeks and chin. People seek cheek augmentation to correct flatness, asymmetry, or to improve the overall balance of the facial shape. The cheek filler treatment plumps up the apples of the cheeks and sculpts the cheek bones. This instantly restores your face to a youthful appearance.

The most common areas treated are:

• The cheeks - to add volume and contour the face
• The nasolabial folds - the nose to mouth lines
• The glabella lines - between the eyebrows
• The lips - adding shape and volume
• The chin and jaw-line - adding definition.

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin’s own supply of hyaluronic acid, and dermal fillers 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 is long-lasting but not permanent.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, cheek enhancement is one of the most common treatments requested, and we have many clients returning for repeat treatments. Dr Bassi has developed great expertise delivering this treatment over the last 10 years.
