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.

Botox For Subtle Anti-Ageing Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we mature, wrinkles and lines might start to appear around the forehead, creating frown lines between the brows which can make us look overly serious or angry. These signs of ageing can easily be treated with injections of botox, which is a reputable cosmetic procedure which visibly reduces lines and wrinkles or removes them completely. Botox injections are a fast cosmetic treatment where the results begin to show after a few days and gradually improve within two weeks.

It's advisable that you get botox, or any other injectable treatments done by qualified health care professionals, such as doctors, dentists or nurses, as they have had the correct training and use only reputable and safe products. Do your research and check out where you're having your botox procedure, whether that's checking it out online, on Internet forums or by word of mouth.

• Botox has lots of benefits:

• Speed - Botox treatment usually takes around ten to twenty minutes and the results might be noticeable immediately after the treatment, although it will take a couple of days to settle down and improve.
• Price - The cost of botox is less expensive than plastic surgery treatments which cost considerably more.
• Minimally invasive - Botox injections are less invasive than other anti-ageing treatments such as face lifts or brow lifts.
• Minimal side effects - Side effects associated with botox such as redness, itching or bruising occur very occasionally, but these are temporary.

Facial expressions that repeatedly use the same muscles, will eventually leave crows feet, frown lines and forehead creases upon the skin. Botox injections will temporarily weaken the muscles that help to create your facial expressions, and lessening this muscle activity will not only soften the fine lines and wrinkles, but it will also affect the expressions you use on your face. It's a temporary treatment lasting around four months and will need regular top-up injections to keep up the results.

Botox is an ideal treatment for those who want subtle, non-surgical, anti-ageing treatments. After applying a topical aesthetic to the skin to make sure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, the botox is then administered into the specific targeted areas, reducing lines and the halting further wrinkles from beginning.

The results of botox should look subtle, and a fully trained practitioner will carefully administer, technically precise injections to give you a fresh and healthy appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. This results in a naturally smooth and healthy face, free from wrinkles. The effects after a botox treatment are not completely immediate, it starts to work within days, with the greatest effect seen around two weeks later.

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.

Improve Your Skin Texture With A Chemical Peel - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we feel that our skin has lost its youthful glow, most of us will put it down to ageing. Lots of us think the skin will automatically start to get dull and wrinkly as we get older, however, achieving a glowing complexion and a flawless skin is possible whatever age we are.

There are many ways to improve the skin's condition and one of the best beauty treatments to do this, is a chemical peel. These peels come in many forms and can work wonders. They are ideal for those looking for a treatment that can lessen lines and wrinkles, as well as restoring the radiance on your face. There are no needles, injections or surgical procedures involved, making it an easy and painless way to get youthful looking skin.

Chemical Peels can help to:

• Reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth
• Improve the look and texture of the skin
• Reduce age spots, freckles and pigmentation on the skin
• Improve mild scars
• Treat certain types of acne
• Treat wrinkles caused by sun-damage and ageing

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers medical peels which are easy and stress-free treatments. Firstly there's a thorough cleansing of the treatment area, before applying the chemical solution. The peel solution creates a controlled wound and this will let new and healthy skin form in its place.

Chemical peels can benefit:

* Fine lines. Peels work by dissolving dead cells. The solution causes the surface of the skin to peel away, and after it heals it will show healthier, tighter layers of skin.
* Acne. Chemical peels are effective in treating acne, also helping to lessen mild acne scarring, by penetrating the surface layer of the skin which will aid in the shedding of dead cells.
* Uneven Skin Tone/ Pigmentation. Too much melanin in the skin is responsible for darker patches on the skin, which can easily be treated with chemical peels.
* Chemical peels can restore the texture of dry, sensitive or oily skin. Getting rid of the unwanted dead cells will give fresher skin, and tighter brighter and smaller pores. It's a good treatment to bring new and fresh cells to the surface.

Chemical peels are pain-free, and there's minimal skin shredding, flaking, irritation and redness. A face peel can promote growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which thickens the skin and improves resistance to the effects of ageing, and they will make your face look fresher and improve its texture and tone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Botox brow lift

*  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.

Treatments For Rejunenating The Ageing Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and unfortunately these issues will only intensify over time. Our skin naturally starts to lose elasticity  causing wrinkles, and things like repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process, causing wrinkles.

Our skin ages in different ways:

• Wrinkles -  Skin loses some of its elasticity causing wrinkles and fine lines. As it becomes thinner and drier, we will notice new wrinkles appearing around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Repetitive movements of the face over the years are usually the cause of these lines.
• Frown lines - Frequent frowning when concentrating or worrying, can cause deep forehead furrows.
• Eye Lines - Wrinkles appear at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or looking at the computer screen.
• Mouth lines - Fine lines around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, pursing the lips or puckering up the lips when drinking through a straw.

Botox brow lift

Loss of volume
A dramatic change to the skin as we reach our thirties, is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. We'll lose plumpness in the face because of fat and tissue loss under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, but there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control; like genetics, anatomy and gravity. However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

Profhilo - This contains pure hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals, making it an extremely safe cosmetic treatment, with no risks. The slow release of hyaluronic acid injections stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, which results in significant improvement of tissue quality. Profhilo is an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing.

Botox - The signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.

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

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

Dermal Fillers

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

Dynamic lines

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

Static lines

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

Botox

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lip augmentation treatment will:

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

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

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

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

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

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

* It causes exfoliation of the top layer of the skin

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

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

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

Benefits of chemical peels:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Not doing so can result in:

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

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

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

Rejuvenate & Brighten the Skin with Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes, when we look at our skin, all we notice are the fine lines, wrinkles, sun damaged and uneven skin tone, we might have blackheads and white heads, or maybe we have acne prone skin or superficial age spots. Medical microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment, if you want to improve the look of any of these symptoms.

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin rejuvenating technique, designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It works on fine wrinkles by evening out the skin texture through abrasion of the top layer of the skin. The results are subtle, resulting in a fresher look, reducing the fine lines and acne scarring. This is a fantastic treatment which will leave the skin feeling smoother and looking healthier, making it a lot easier for us to apply make-up.

Microdermabrasion treatment improves:

• Blotchy, uneven skin tones.
• Dull lifeless skin.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Sun damaged skin/age spots.
• Enlarged pores/blemishes.
• Acne scarring.
• Blackheads and white heads.

Microdermabrasion doesn't use any lasers or chemicals. The treatment involves passing a fine collection of medical grade crystals over the skin's surface, using a hand-held device. The micro-crystals, which are hard enough to disrupt the unwanted, tired skin cells that cause dull looking skin, but small enough not to do any damage or cause pain or discomfort. The micro-crystals propel across the skin's surface, removing just the top layer of skin cells, revealing new living cells and leaving behind a healthy glow. Treatment leaves the skins epidermal layers rejuvenated, leading to collagen production and plumper skin.

You should avoid microdermabrasion treatment if you have eczema, as it could worsen the condition. Sufferers of rosacea should also avoid this treatment as the exfoliation process also worsens the redness, itchiness and flaking symptoms.

At your first consultation you'll be advised on the number of treatments you will need. The whole procedure is usually complete within 20 minutes and the results are instantly visible. Some treatments may take longer, depending on the skin's condition and the overall required results. It's recommended that you take a course of treatments for long-lasting, overall improved skin appearance.

The treatment's been used to treat millions of clients over the last decade, achieving fantastic results. The procedure is safe and painless and there are no side effects. Microdermabrasion machines offer state of the art treatments, from mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, and this translates into more impressive and lasting results to you. It will improve, refresh and rejuvenate your skin.

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 Lip Lines & Creases with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes it seems that wrinkles show up in all the wrong places. On first meetings, most people focus their attention on the other person's eyes or mouth and unfortunately, those are the exact areas where fine lines and wrinkles first begin to show.

Even while we're young, the signs of ageing will still show in our face a lot sooner than we want, especially around the mouth and lower face area. It's very demoralising to notice the beginnings of lip creases and lip lines, especially when we apply lipstick and we see the colour bleeding into our lip wrinkles, ruining our smile.

Causes of upper lip wrinkles:

• Repeatedly making the same facial expressions
• Pursing the lips
• Smoking
• Excessive sun exposure which can break down collagen and elastin in the skin
• The passage of time breaking down the skin's elasticity

Over time these can cause fine lines to appear around the mouth, and the thinner the skin, the more visible the lines and creases become. After many years, these lines can become permanent indentations on the lips and mouth area.

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker's lines, are those fine lines that start to radiate from the lips as we get older. These vertical lines on the lips are especially problematic for women as the lip lines can also cause lipstick to bleed, which is a major sign of ageing.

Ageing plays a part forming lines on the lips but the good news is, we can do something about it. As we age our lips get thinner and lose their definition and a small amount of dermal filler can make all the difference.

There are many dermal fillers used to correct lip creases and lines, all which plump up the skin and help to create a younger, more youthful looking appearance. Recommended fillers for lip crease correction include:

• Restylane range
• Juvederm Ultra 2
• Teosyal Fine Lines

The dermal fillers are non animal based hyaluronic acid, a substance which is naturally found in the body. The filler acts as padding and when it's injected it fills out the lines and creases beneath the skin.

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the lip area 20 minutes before treatment begins, which numbs the skin. The cosmetic procedure usually only takes about 20-30 minutes. There maybe some swelling after the treatment and perhaps some slight bruising, but the swelling resolves itself within a day or two and any minor bruising can always be covered up with make-up.

Lip Filler Treatment in Time For Christmas - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There aren't many of us blessed with perfect lips, some have thin flat lips and others have lines and wrinkles around the edges of the mouth. Sometimes we need a little help to get the lips we wish we had. When people look at us, our lips are often the focus of attention, and the shape and fullness that we would like isn't always there. Like the rest of our body, the passing of time will eventually show on our lips and they'll start to lose volume, we'll notice fine lines and wrinkles around the edges and get lipstick bleeding into the creases.

Sometimes we get self-conscious about our smile, or we notice our lip starting to disappear when we speak or smile, or maybe we simply want to balance out the upper and bottom lip proportions, this is the time to consider dermal fillers. Enhancing the lips can accentuate our facial appearance and dermal filler treatment can put back the volume in the lips and restore their shape. It's a safe, fast and well-tolerated treatment, which leaves the lips looking and feeling natural.

Although ageing plays a part in forming lip lines, the good news is that we can do something about it. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have had fantastic results using lip fillers to add volume to the lips and to banish lip creases. Dr Bassi is a fully trained cosmetic practitioner in advanced filler techniques, and as no two faces are the same, he tailors every filler treatment to each client.

At the clinic we recommend any of the following fillers for lip crease correction;

• Restylane range
• Juvederm Ultra 2
• Teosyal Fine Lines

The lip procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and there'll be a small amount of swelling afterwards and maybe some bruising. The swelling usually resolves itself within a day or two, but any minor bruising can easily be covered with make-up.

A lip treatment can add volume to the lips and take the lines from around the mouth, it will enhance the look of the entire face and give you some added confidence. With Christmas and the festive party season fast approaching, what better time to enhance the lips so they're ready to pucker up under the mistletoe.

Lose Your Fine Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's said that women look at their face in the mirror at least eight times a day; to check their make-up is still in place, to see if there are any mascara smudges under the eyes, or lipstick on their teeth. They might want to check a pimple, but usually women check their reflection for a sense of reassurance.

Women usually begin to show signs of facial ageing around the age of twenty-five, and the first signs are fine lines around the eyes and around the mouth. The “number elevens” the two frown lines between the eyebrows are common too.

Botox is a licensed medicine and administering it is an art that needs a high level of ability, along with a talent for the craft. The risk of infection when botox is administered by an untrained person is higher than with a fully trained, experienced provider. When it's not injected properly, or isn't injected in the precise place, then things can quite easily go wrong.

An unskilled person injecting botox could end up paralysing the wrong muscles, you might be left with drooping eyelids and eyebrows, or in the worst case scenario you could even paralyse the muscles that move your eyeball, which could give you long-term problems with your eyesight. Don’t let price be your guide. If you find treatment that's being charged at much less than the standard fee, then it's likely that compromises have been made; either in the skill of the provider, quality of the product or the amount of it that's being used.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we specialise in giving a soft natural look to your face, tailoring each botox treatment specifically for you and your needs. The botox procedure takes about 20 minutes and doesn't need any anaesthetic. It's injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. Botox usually takes effect within 3 to 7 days after the injection and usually lasts from three to four months. The lines and wrinkles may look less severe with time because botox helps the muscles to relax.

So put yourself in our hands and your watch crows feet disappear around the eyes, along with those irritating lines and wrinkles around your forehead. Call now for an appointment and find out what we can offer you, and say goodbye to wrinkles.
