Anti-Ageing Treatments to Get Youthful Looks - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

In recent times we have begun to notice women and men arriving at cosmetic clinics clutching computer-enhanced photographs and asking for cosmetic treatments to recreate this artificially perfected image. Phone cameras have a great number of filters and this has also increased the demand for cosmetic procedures, as clients try to copy their filtered photograph images, even bringing their altered images to the practitioner, as an example of what they want to look like.

Most of the people wanting these cosmetic treatments are not old with time-worn faces, in fact most of them are only in their early twenties. When young women see the perfect images of celebrities on posters and in magazines it forces them to look closely at their own image with a more self-critical eye than ever before. Non-surgical nose jobs, cheek fillers, lip enhancements and botox are some of the treatments of choice when trying to emulate the enhanced photographs.

Sometimes they decide to have facial enhancing treatments to increase their self-confidence, sometimes because celebrities are doing it, or sometimes because of peer pressure. 

There are now a great number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures:

• Botox - to reduce moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles, frown lines and crow's-feet.
• Laser treatments - rejuvenate the skin's surface.
• Chemical peels - these will improve the texture and tone of the skin.
• Radiofrequency therapies - for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.
• PDO thread lifts - can deliver essentially a non-surgical facelift, using injections placed in strategic places.
• Dermal fillers - for non-surgical nose jobs, lip enhancement, adding volume and lifting cheeks and much more.
• Microdermabrasion treatments - a non-surgical procedure that resurfaces the skin. It helps to remove dead skin cells on the skin's surface.

A lot of young people aren't looking for subtle results, and we're seeing suspiciously full lips, super defined cheekbones and skin that's smooth and tight. While we can't escape people taking endless photographs of themselves and using filters and editing to perfect the images, we really shouldn't let these images to influence us into having extreme treatments. 

Dermal fillers aren't just for people who are looking to restore their youth, but also to enhance the face. Botox can help us look our best without making our face look like a frozen mask, dermal filler in our cheeks will give us defined cheekbones and restore lost volume under the eyes, and we can enhance and define the lips, without inflating them to extreme proportions.

We all want to look the very best we can, but we don't have to go to extremes to achieve it.

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

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

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

Enhanced laser skin rejuvenation treatment will:

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

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

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

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

The benefits:

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

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

Achieve Younger Looking Skin With Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We don't get to adulthood without seeing some sort of evidence on our face and we would all love to turn the clock back and get back the perfect, unblemished skin of our youth. Our skin has to contend with many things as we get older; sun, harsh weather and bad habits, and unfortunately these effects show on our face and tell the story. Skin problems like acne scars, liver spots on the back of the hands, face and décolletage or skin that's been damaged by too much sun, can all affect our self-confidence.

There are many reasons why we are not satisfied with our appearance but whether it's our face, neck or hands that we have a problem with, a solution is available. According to many doctors, one of the best anti-ageing treatments is the SmartXide DOT which is a fractional Co2 laser system which will improve the texture, tone and overall quality of your skin.

It's an ideal treatment for:

• Wrinkles
• Poor texture
• Large skin pores
• Sun damage
• Sun spots
• Brown spots
• Acne scars
• Surgical scars
• Uneven pigmentation
• Stretch marks

SmartXide Dot is tailored to each person's skin-type and to how much damage is on the skin. SmartXide Dot treatment helps to soften wrinkles of the face, especially around the mouth and eyes, as well having the unique ability to tighten loose skin. The skin treatment can soften deep lines and fine wrinkles until they disappear, leaving the skin smoother, fresher and looking more youthful. By forming a completely new skin layer, it will restore the tone and glow to the face and other treated areas.

The laser is good for:

• Reversing the look of ageing skin
• To effectively repair sun damaged skin
• Improve skin tightening, texture and firmness
• Smooth wrinkles and lines
• Even out the skin tone and colour
• Reduce acne marks and other scars
• Treat pigmentation (brown spots and skin discolouration)
• Reduce large pores on the skin.

Scars from acne or other skin injuries can also benefit from using this treatment. The laser treatment takes about 30 minutes to restore the skin's youthful appearance. The laser stimulates new collagen growth which helps to prolong the effects of the treatment, and gives a more even result. While it's true that we can't halt the ageing process, with care, we can maintain your rejuvenated skin's appearance for years to come.

Laser Treatment to Correct Pigmentation Marks on Face, Hands & Chest - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Skin pigmentation disorders affect the colour and tone of the skin. Our body contains pigment called melanin which decides the colour of our skin, hair and eyes. People with a darker skin will have more melanin in their skin cells than those with lighter skin, and if the skin cells become damaged or unhealthy, it will affect the melanin production, which in turn, will affect your skin.

Hyperpigmentation can happen for many reasons: over exposure to the sun, genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions or as a result of burns and it can also become more obvious as we get older, causing liver spots and if left untreated, it can worsen. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin.

Hyperpigmentation -  If your body makes too much melanin, parts of your skin may turn darker
Hypopigmentation -   Too little melanin, or if the cells that produce pigment get damaged, then parts of your skin may turn lighter 

Benefits of laser skin pigmentation treatment:

• The procedure is safe for the face, hands, neck and chest
• There's no recovery time, you can return to normal activities immediately
• It's effective - outstanding results every time

Laser treatment can help resolve these skin pigmentation problems, resurfacing the top layers of the skin and causing sun damage and pigmentation to disappear. Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced laser technology to offer a safe and effective easy way to treat irregular pigmentation. It works by damaging the top layers of the skin, forcing the collagen to kick in and start repairing the damage, so after a few weeks the skin will looker plumper and revitalised. The laser system allows us to resurface the skin and as the laser stimulates the collagen production, you’ll see a continuous improvement in texture and smoothness of the skin over several months.

• Treatment course - 2 treatments, each 4 weeks apart
• Back to work - Next day
• Duration Of Results - Permanent
• Anaesthetic - Local
• Results - Permanent

Depending on the size of the affected area, the treatment sessions can take between 5 to 30 minutes. In our experience a single treatment session will get the desired result, but occasionally two treatments might be needed. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, although some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin during the laser delivery, but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable. Afterwards, the skin on the treated areas will become darker, but this will flake off after a few days. You’ll most likely be able to see an improvement in skin tone and texture as soon as the redness fades after one treatment.

Botox & Anti-Ageing Treatments for Younger Looking Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are many things that cause our skin to age, some things are inevitable, others we can influence, but we can't change the natural ageing process. It's natural for our face to lose some of its fullness and with time we will all get visible lines on our face. Ageing happens not just because of genetics, but also because of our environment and lifestyle choices.

Botox Treatment

• The sun plays a big role in prematurely ageing our skin, so it's essential that you apply sunscreen every day to all parts of the skin that's not covered by clothing, using a sun cream SPF 30, or higher.
• Rather than lying in the sun to get a tan, apply self-tanner. Sunbathing and tanning beds all give off harmful UV rays that can prematurely age your skin.
• Smoking causes wrinkles and a dull complexion and speeds up how quickly our skin ages.
• Repetitive facial expressions contract the underlying muscles, and repeatedly contracting the same muscles over many years, cause these lines to become permanent.
• A healthy, well-balanced diet, with fresh fruit and vegetables and lean meat may help prevent damage that leads to prematurely ageing skin. Ageing can accelerate, when a diet includes lots of sugar or other refined carbohydrates.
• Alcohol dehydrates the skin, which in time will damage it and end up making us look older.
• Gently cleanse your skin as scrubbing can irritate and this can accelerate skin ageing and always apply a facial moisturizer. 

Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides the latest leading, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for anti-ageing of the skin. Our experienced and fully trained aesthetic team will recommend a range of treatments and tailor your treatment plan specifically for you - from solo treatments or combining different treatments.

Botox
Wrinkles are the most noticeable signs of the skin ageing and appear on different areas of the face. Very fine lines are the first to appear, becoming noticeable at the outer corners of the eyes and are known as laughter lines. They can also be found on the cheeks and the forehead and also become deeper as we get older.

Dermal fillers
The lips - lip enhancement will give your lips better definition and reduce lipstick bleed. Lip augmentation will give greater volume and a fuller appearance.
Tear trough treatment gives a natural filled out appearance under the lower eyelids, correcting the hollowed-eye look.
Lip Creases - we can soften the depth of smokers lines, giving a youthful appearance of the mouth area.
Nasolabial Folds - correction or softening of the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth, gives dramatic results.
Cheek Enhancement - high cheekbones can easily be achieved by the precise placing of fillers.
Jowls Correction - the precise placing of fillers can give you the result of a smooth jaw line.

Chemical Peel Treatment

Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermaroller and skin tightening treatments will all help with exfoliation, a clearer complexion, smoother skin texture, reducing scars and promoting the growth of new skin and collagen.

New Year Look - Botox, Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

New Year Look - with Botox, Vaser Lipo and the rest.

New Year, new you?  If you overdid the festive celebrations, then here are some great ideas for giving your face and body a fabulous, new fresh look!

Because another year has passed, that doesn’t mean you have to look a year older, so why not start the new year off fresh?  It's amazing how just a few tweaks in your appearance can make a big difference in the effort to hold back the march of time.

Botox before and after

The new year is just around the corner, so now would be the perfect time to commence a beauty overhaul. Start 2016 as you mean to go on, with some beauty treatments and must-do resolutions!  So now is the time for a New Year dash to the cosmetic clinic to enquire about botox, PDO thread lifts, lip augmentation, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) and vaser lipo.

Cosmetic surgery is now more popular than ever, with actresses, pop stars and stars from reality TV shows bringing awareness about cosmetic procedures into the public eye. We’ve all seen celebrities who seem to defy the hands of time, and yet most don’t show any obvious signs that they’ve had any work done. In the past cosmetic surgery was only available to the rich and famous, but it is now affordable to the general public.

Botox after treatment

Botox before

Younger and younger cosmetic consumers are seeking non invasive facial rejuvenation treatments early on, to avoid major procedures later in life. They undergo botox or  dermal fillers to combat wrinkles and volume loss, and treatments to rejuvenate and improve skin quality, colour and tone. More and more women, and men, are using cosmetic medicine to rejuvenate the skin and face and enhance the body contours.

Vaser Lipo before and after

With people's fascination for taking selfies and uploading their images on facebook, instagram and twitter,  maybe next year should be the year for looking carefully at those photo's and inspecting them for wrinkles, crow's feet, double chins and hairy upper lip's!!  And then instead of photo shopping and enhancing the photo's you can instead make an appointment with the cosmetic clinic. Cosmetic procedures have never been more popular or more accessible. These days popularity for non invasive procedures, particularly facial rejuvenation like botox and body contouring like vaser lipo have never been more in demand.

Non-surgical treatments are most in-demand at the moment, achieving impressive results with hardly any down time. Just like makeup, cosmetic procedures such as botox were created to help enhance your natural beauty, not to re-create or hide it.

Vaser Lipo before and after treatment

This is your year to become the best you can be by refreshing your appearance without losing your identity. The long winter months are the perfect time to think about having a cosmetic procedure that may require a little down time.

Airbrushing and Photoshopping Images / Botox & Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Airbrushing and photo-shopping

Celebrities may look beautiful and perfect, but what is it that we are actually seeing?  We all know that they have probably had a bit of help with botox and lipo at some stage, but are the images we see the real them, or a photo-shopped version of the original which may be so airbrushed, filtered and edited that we really aren't seeing a true representation of the person anymore.

The editing does not end with perfecting peoples faces and skin, now digital touch-ups are even removing parts of people's bodies to make them look thinner.

Just this last week a row has erupted over how the bodies of some of the females stars on the TV show "I'm a Celebrity" appear to look drastically different from when they have posed in swimwear or underwear pictures taken in studio photo-shoots. Ferne McCann and Vicky Pattison look surprisingly less smooth and toned when washing in their bikini's the jungle shower!

It's no wonder that we, the ordinary people, are put under so much pressure to look our best at all times, a goal that's impossible to reach, not only for us apparently, but also for our Goddess-like role models. It's a bit demoralising being surrounded by photo's of models and pop stars that have been altered, not by botox or laser lipo but by technology.

We all know that today, ladies, whether famous or not, indulge in cosmetic procedures to help hold back the passage of time. There is no shame in having a bit of botox for the fine lines, maybe some lipo to get rid of unwanted fat, dermal fillers or lip enhancements. After all if we can make improvements on ourselves and boost our esteem, then why not?

But when women who are already slim and beautiful have their faces and bodies altered, whether with their knowledge and approval or by photographers without their knowing, then all it does is give an unrealistic portrayal of a woman's face and body. Model and TV presenter Kelly Brook even photo-shopped her own photo on Instagram recently to much public disapproval!

Why do models need to be airbrushed? Aren't models supposed to look good without having been airbrushed? If the already perfect people aren't judged to be perfect then what chance do we have?

Actress Julia Roberts is a beautiful woman who starred in Lancôme cosmetic advert, advertising foundation that supposedly created a natural light in the face. The images of the two page ad's were so digitally enhanced that the advert was judged misleading and was banned.

1960.s supermodel and actress Twiggy was also in an advert that was banned, this one was for the Olay "Definity Eye Illuminator" cream that promised : "Reduces the look of wrinkles and dark circles for brighter, younger-looking eyes" Complaints were, that the advert had been digitally re-touched, but gave the false impression that the cream alone was responsible for Twiggy's face being virtually line free. The woman is in her sixties for goodness sakes - she's earned some lines on her face!

In the end though, we all want to look the best we can and if we have a bit of botox or lipo to help us out, then all well and good. But we all still want to essentially still look like "us" and not some plastic line free mannequin.

Remember, nobody is perfect - you don't have to be perfect to be beautiful !
Cheesy, but true.

Botox and Dermal Filler Treatments For the 40's And 50's Plus .. Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield

There has been a big upsurge in people having cosmetic treatments in the last few years. People are really defying the ageing process nowadays by having treatments that were not available in our parents years.. sadly they had to rely on 'Ponds Cream'.  Well 40 has truly become the new 30 and everyone is trying to keep it that way!

Botox is an easy one, it takes ten minutes to do and within 3 to 7 days you look smoother and fresher, it really is a no brainer  for a youthful look and is not obvious to your friends and family. Our clients tell us that their friends think they have changed their hairstyle slightly or have used different make up... they just can't put their finger on what the difference is.

As we age, or experience menopause our collagen begins to deplete so we dont get a quick turnover of skin renewal which leads to damaged and wrinkled skin.  But there are so many treatments available for this.
We have a variety of Dermal fillers for volume loss, which is sadly another problem with ageing.
The cheeks and jowls can be volumised and lifted giving an instant rejuvenating appearance.
We have fillers that inject moisture into the skin to give you back that lovely hydrated skin of bygone years!

Lips thin with age and can be plumped back up in a matter of minutes, giving you back that lucious pout!

We always think of the skin as the canvas of the face, and that should always be addressed first. There is no point in giving cheeks and lips if the skin is looking tired and old. We can use lasers for skin rejuvenation, a different Co2 laser to take the old top layers of your skin off, to reveal younger , more youthful skin underneath. This laser also diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and rids you of age spots.
We have a variety of Mesotherapy treatments that can brighten and hydrate your skin and really freshen you up.
So when you look in the mirror in the mornings you don't have to hate what you see, there is a treatment for everybody and combination treatments will get you looking the best you can be.

Fractional Laser...A proven Treatment!

SmartXide treatment is a cutting edge technology that is used all around the world. It is a simple, effective treatment for people who want to look good by reversing the signs of ageing without the downtime of having extensive, invasive treatments.

People liken the treatment to having sunburn for a few days...this gradually fades to reveal fresh glowing skin.

SmartXide addresses issues such as fine lines and wrinkles, photo ageing, age spots and scarring.
It works by stimulating collagen thus plumping up the skin and taking off the top layers of the skin, getting rid of sun damage, age spots, acne scarring... revealing smoother, younger skin.

Anything between one and three treatments are needed, depending on the severity of your problem. We also use red light LED therapy afterwards to help heal and rejuvenate your skin..also a proven anti ageing treatment. Stem cells can also be used after treatment as we like to use the  multiple modality approach.. the more we put into it.. the more you get out!

Facial Volumisation with Dermal Fillers

As we age our cheeks tend to slide down our face. With a few syringes of Dermal Filler, we can put the plumpness back in your face, lift the cheeks back up which also has a lifting effect on the jawline. 

Its great for people who do not wish to go under the knife, and for people who just want to look the best they can for their age!

SmartXide...Laser Skin Resurfacing

This lady in her seventies has been having SmartXide on her face. After 3 treatments her face is wonderfully smooth and she looks a lot younger!

She decided to go even further and work down her neck and decollete. This photo is one week after the first treatment on her neck, see how pink and fresh the skin looks! All the sun damage and age spots have gone and the skin looks dramatically different. I will post further pictures as her treatment progresses.

This lady featured in one of our blogs in June 2011. She recently sent a lovely email which i have added below.

Hi Dr Bassi and Mags,

I found my before and after photo's of my saddlebags on your blog of June 2011 and am finally making the time to get back to you. I tried to add a photo to the blog, but not clever enough! I wanted to tell you how pleased i was and send you my latest update.

With running and exercise ive managed to improve the shape of my legs even further and my self confidence is so much better! I constantly say i am so happy i finally had the Vaser Lipo. Just wish i'd done it sooner. Im still not runway model status but far better than before!

Its always good to get updates from clients!
