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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dermal fillers are ideal for lip plumping as:

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

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

Beautiful Fuller Lips at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The lips, like the eyes and nose, are a defining and prominent facial feature. During social interactions, the lips are a focal point, not only when they're doing the talking but also when they're showing your emotions. When we're happy, a radiant smile can make us look younger and boost our self-confidence. 

Lip enhancements use injectable fillers, which are a quick, safe and effective treatment that don't require any downtime. As well as plumping and firming the lips, lip filler procedures can define the lip line, lessen the fine lines around the mouth, prevent lipstick bleed and even create an upward turn to the corners of the mouth.

Things you can achieve with lip fillers;

• Fuller lips. Either adding volume to both lips, or just the top or bottom lip.
• Reducing wrinkles. Fillers are ideal anti-ageing treatments which can erase lip lines and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth.
• Confidence boost. When certain facial features aren't in harmony with the rest of the face, it can make you feel self-conscious. 

Improving the smile with softer, plumper and smoother-looking lips is a cosmetic treatment that's growing in popularity among people of all ages. Lots of people who consider having a lip enhancement get worried about the “trout pout”, but the reality is that an experienced practitioner will only fill the lips to enhance them to a realistic size, adding volume to thin lips, defining lip borders or just giving a subtle tweak to reshape the lips, while keeping a totally natural look.

After a free consultation with our expert doctor where you can discuss your expectations, you will both decide on a treatment plan for your lip enhancement. The look of people's lips can vary after the injections and some swelling can remain for up to two weeks. It can sometimes take some time adjusting to your new look and you can always top up the filler and increase your lip volume when you want. 

The lip filler procedure usually causes only minimal discomfort, and some clients do opt for a topical anaesthetic cream application on the lips before their treatment and then, once the lips are less sensitive, the doctor will inject the lip filler through tiny injections that are almost pain-free.

Dermal Fillers to Restore Volume & Enhance the Mouth Area - Notttingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Thinning lips and the appearance of fine lines around the mouth are unfortunately an inevitable result of ageing, but volume and structure can easily be recreated, using dermal fillers to restore your lips and give them a natural, youthful look. Injectable filler treatment can reverse the signs of ageing in the mouth area and will define, shape, support, soften and hydrate, they'll correct asymmetry and restore volume or just enhance the lips.

Sometimes when you look at yourself in the mirror you might notice changes happening to your lips:

• Vertical lines - sometimes called smokers’ lines or lipstick lines
• Volume loss - lack of fullness in the lips 
• Flat lips - less pronounced shape, and the cupid’s bow lacks definition
• Lost definition - the border known as the vermillion border has less definition to the outside of the lips
• Flatter philtrum ridge - lack of shape to the ridge between the upper lips and the nose

Some of us were born with naturally thin lips and some lips can become thinner as we grow older. As we age, our collagen production slows down, causing the lips to lose volume, and thin lips can make you look less vibrant and older than you are, but dermal fillers will give you the luscious lips you are after. So whether you’ve always had small thin lips or they have become that way with age, dermal fillers can restore them.

Lots of us are unhappy with the lack of volume in our lips; wanting more volume, a better shape, to  define the border and to have more definition on the cupid’s bow. Dermal fillers are a perfect cosmetic treatment to make them full again. A good cosmetic doctor will give you natural-looking results; plump, shapely and youthful, without them looking like they've had any treatment. The same dermal fillers injected to add volume, are also used to shape the lips, and these treatments are often done in the same procedure.

Lip Lines
These are sometimes called the lipstick lines, and they're the fine vertical wrinkles that develop just above the lips. These lines show up when we purse our mouth, while smoking or drinking through straws, but as we get older, they begin to become a more permanent fixture. Light botox treatment is often used to treat these pucker lines

Smile Lines
These are also known as nasolabial folds, laugh lines or parentheses, and they're the wrinkles that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Dermal fillers are a great option for smoothing these lines away

Marionette Lines
These lines run from the corners of the mouth to the chin and are similar to smile lines. Dermal filler corrects these lines.

Dermal fillers will give your lips volume and definition, and the injections are completely controlled, letting you choose if you want a subtle, in-between or more dramatic look. There are lots we can do to prevent and to improve the signs of ageing, leaving you happy to enjoy younger looking, plumper lips for longer.

Lip Augmentation at Reputable Clinics - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When your lips are full and shapely, they can seem more kissable and attractive. Fuller lips can also make you look younger, as thin lips are often a sign of ageing. Lots of people today are having lip augmentation at various places, but, when deciding to have lip fillers you must do your research and find a reputable practitioner.

In the past few years, many newspaper and magazine articles have written about lip filler treatments that have gone wrong. Some stories are down to a number of celebrities who have plumped up their lip size to way beyond natural. A prime example is the TV actress Lesley Ash, who in 2002 had her lips injected with liquid silicone, which plumped her lips up to such extremes that it changed her appearance considerably, and over a decade later her lips are still affected. These days lip filler treatment that uses silicone isn't recommended and is not approved by the FDA.

Other stories recently have been about lip filler treatments gone wrong, with people, mostly young women, left with severe infections and lumpy lips that are sometimes irreparable. Cosmetic procedures like lip fillers get trivialized on reality TV programmes and magazines by people like the Kardashian family. This can result in impressionable people being enticed by cheap deals seen on discounted online promotion websites. A lot of these cosmetic procedures are performed by unqualified practitioners, beauty salons, spa's and those without the correct medical training.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have had outstanding results with our lip filler treatments. Dr. Bassi has performed thousands of injectable treatments and he has over ten years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner. To keep up to date with trends in the industry, Dr. Bassi has attended training courses and seminars in various parts of the world such as the USA, South America, Europe as well as in the UK.

The dermal fillers we use are hyaluronic acid based, which is a substance naturally occurring in the body. The hyaluronic filler injected into your lips acts like a cushion and adds more volume to them, attracting water to the area, providing an even softer volume.

Lip filler procedures can enhance:

• Vermilion border - which gives the outline and improves definition and minimises lip bleed.
• The upper and lower lip - can have the filler injected into it, giving more volume and substance to the lip.
• Cupid bow - defining the cupid bow gives female lips a balance.
• Philtrum ridges -  when defined by insertion of filler, this further enhances the features of the lips.

Get back your beautiful lips at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. With our help, your lips will once again enhance your facial features, making you look more youthful.

Lots of women are self-conscious about their smile, or maybe they have noticed that the lip appears to disappear when they speak or smile, or they just want to balance out the upper and bottom lip and get it in proportion.

Youthful Looking Lips Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lip fillers are a non-surgical, non-invasive way to improve the contour and volume of the lips. Selston Cosmetic Clinic specialises in lip enhancement and lip augmentation, resulting in defined, elegant lips. There aren't many of us that are born with natural full lips, and lots of us need some help achieving the fullness that we would like. The lips are an important part of our facial beauty and whether they are giving a friendly smile, blowing a kiss or pouting in a selfie, our lips are always drawing attention to themselves!

Ageing naturally, causes our lips to become thinner and lose definition. The area where we’re likely to notice it most, is around the ‘Cupid’s Bow’ – which is the V-shaped area of the upper lip. We also gain fine lines and wrinkles, where lipstick can bleed into, actually highlighting the problem. Lip enhancement treatment plumps up lips and enhances the look of the entire face and giving us a confidence boost.

The difference between enhancement and augmentation is;
Lip enhancement involves placing the filler over the borders of the lips, outlining the lip border.
Lip augmentation involves placing the filler in the body of the lip, making the body of the lips fuller.

(photo below)  As we age, our lips get thinner and lose their definition. A small amount of dermal filler can make all the difference.

Before

After

Lip enhancements are not only about size. Lips are both individual and expressive and much of that expression comes from the lip shape and the definition. When we talk with others, our lips are at their most expressive, constantly changing shape as we speak. With the range of lip enhancements at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, your lips will be as individual as you are.

Lip filler.. Making older lips more youthful

Before considering a treatment there are some questions you should ask your cosmetic doctor:
What qualifications do you have in cosmetic procedures?
Which brands of fillers do you use, and why those particular ones?
Is the product safe. Has it been extensively tested and researched?
How satisfied are your patients with the results?
Do you have any before and after pictures you could show me?
What are the potential side effects?
What after-care will I be given after the procedure?

Dr Bassi has many years experience perfecting his lip enhancement and lip augmentation technique, enabling him to produce natural looking results. A lip enhancement procedure can contour your lips which will help make you look more youthful and feel more attractive. A fuller, plumper lip with definition and shape will give us a great smile and compliment the beauty of the face.

Semi-Permanent Make-up Treatment at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are lots of reasons why people choose to have semi-permanent cosmetic make-up treatments. Whether it’s just about saving the time and hassle of applying make-up every day or maybe they want to change or enhance their natural features. Many people opt for semi-permanent cosmetics as they are often unable to wear conventional cosmetics. For instance, sports enthusiasts, those with a busy, active lifestyle, people with sensitive skin, allergies or visual impairment and alopecia sufferers could all benefit from semi-permanent make-up.

Semi-permanent make-up is a form of cosmetic tattooing, and is also known as micropigmentation. It's applied by inserting small amounts of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin to enhance a woman's features. The pigment goes into the second layer of the skin, creating a beautiful colour that resembles perfectly applied make-up.

Eyelashes
An eyelash enhancement will give the illusion of fuller thicker lashes. It will not only make you look more youthful but you will also save valuable time in the morning! They will add definition and improve the shape of your eyes.

Lips
As we get older we lose the natural definition around the mouth, causing the lips to appear thinner and less plump. When applying lipstick it often spreads into the fine lines giving a messy finish. Sometimes we lose pigment in the lips through age or illness or we may have naturally uneven lips.
Semi-permanent make up is a solution to a lot of these problems as we can create fullness and  definition, give the lips symmetry and a natural looking lip line. Applying a natural lip blush can match up your favourite lipstick colour meaning you will always be lip perfect! The lip blush technique is more advanced than the lip liner technique and makes the lips look more natural. We tattoo the lip line and shade into the natural lip.

Eyebrows can give the face a lift, and by just tidying up the brows here and there, you can lift the eye area, creating a natural looking arch and lift. We are not all blessed with naturally perfect eyebrows, and over plucking them is so easily done and can quickly leave us with sparse or poorly shaped brows. Some may have naturally good brows but just want to perfect them.

Eyebrows
Hair stroke brows can create an illusion of natural hair, this is perfect for those who have alopecia or have undergone chemotherapy or have just been too enthusiastic in the plucking and waxing! You might simply be fed up of wasting time drawing on your brows daily, or love the idea of going swimming or even touching your face without the fear of smudging those perfect brows.

HD Brows
The HD Brows eyebrow shaping procedure transforms the way you look and feel. We assess face shape and colouring before creating a bespoke brow, tailored exclusively for the client. Using our skills, from preparation and personal consultation to custom blending, designing, creating and tailoring the shape as well as customised aftercare, HD Brows stylists can transform a face.

Eyeliner
As we get older we lose definition around our eyes causing them to look dull and tired and just by having semi-permanent eyeliner applied is an example of how something so small can have a huge visual impact on the face.

Rebecca Dawn is now offering semi-permanent cosmetics and HD brows at Selston Cosmetic Clinic and offers a range of permanent and semi-permanent cosmetic treatments including eyelash enhancement, eyeliner, lip liner and blush, hair stroke and powder brows. We tailor every treatment for each client to suit their face shape, style and desired look.

At a consultation any questions will be answered, your needs discussed, and finally, the design created and approved by you before the treatment starts. Some clients want a subtle look whilst others go for a glamorous look. Rebecca’s clients can have perfectly shaped brows, defined eyes, enviable eyelashes and beautifully contoured lips – all without having to wear any make-up.
 
Working together we can create a look that is perfect for you, from natural and understated to the obvious and glamorous.

Healthy Lips, Lip Lines & Creases and Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Women everywhere yearn for soft, healthy beautiful lips. Luscious lips are everywhere, on the cover of magazines, in lipstick adverts, and on the faces of our favourite celebrities on TV and films. And we can have them too, if we keep up with the maintenance.

More moisture is lost through the lips than through any other part of the face or body. Being outside on winter days, with the cold, wind, rain and snow and then going indoors with the central heating on, can suck out the moisture from the super sensitive skin on our lips. A natural pinkish tinge on the lips is a sign of good health, and with some good daily care we can protect the lips and keep them in tip-top condition, ensuring the pink tinge will remain on the lips. With a little bit of loving care, our lips could be perfect in no time at all.

Over a lifetime, our lips go through a lot and that affects their condition, but there are many things we can do, to get them looking healthy again.

Chapped Lips
There are many reasons why lips can become chapped and dry, such as dehydration, exposure to extreme weather, either sun, wind or cold air and dry heat from the central-heating. Also, when out of habit we start licking, biting or chewing the lips. When lips lose moisture, the thin skin covering them can become tight and then start to split and flake.

Any lip balm containing beeswax, shea butter, coconut butter, almond oil, or other natural moisturisers will provide a barrier and help seal in moisture.

Blistex Relief cream gives medicated relief to sore, cracked lips.

Avoid flavoured lip balms, they may smell amazing, but they can irritate chapped, flaking lips and are more likely to tempt the wearer to lick their lips.

Keep Your Lips Hydrated
As well as keeping lips moisturised with balms, natural ingredients can also be applied to add moisture to dry, chapped lips.

Cucumber: Slice the skin from the cucumber and store it in cold water. After 15 minutes massage your lips with the slices.

Almond Oil:  Pour a little oil on a spoon, heat it over a candle flame and when it's hot, massage the oil, which is rich in vitamin E, into your lips

Aloe Vera: Cut a fresh piece of aloe and use the juice as lip balm to help heal the sore lips.

Coconut Oil: Simply apply a small amount of oil to the lips several times a day, particularly when the weather is cold and dry.

Water: Since dehydration is the main cause of dry or chapped lips, it's recommended to drink at least 2-3 litres of water daily.

Lips Lines and Creases
Wrinkles on the lips and around the mouth are often the first signs of ageing. You can reduce the look of wrinkles by exfoliating the lip and mouth area, as removing the dead skin cells will make the wrinkles appear shallower. Hydrate the skin by keeping the lips moist with lip balms and drink plenty of water which plumps the skin and lessens the appearance of wrinkles. Facial exercises are also great for reducing wrinkles and lines. Dermal fillers offer the most effective non-surgical method for treating lip lines and require a very small amount of the filler, which is injected into precise locations along the lines and lip border. The results using dermal fillers are stunning and natural looking.

Exfoliate the Lips
There are a few ways of exfoliating the lips:

• You can coat your lips with lip balm overnight and in the morning brush off the dead skin cells with a tooth-brush.
• Make a lip scrub by mixing some granulated sugar with vaseline or lip balm, and apply a layer on your lips. Scrub your lips in a circular motion and wipe off with a damp cloth.
• Exfoliate by making a mixture of honey and sugar. The sugar will help to remove the dead skin while the honey adds moisture to your dry lips.

These methods will give the lips give a smooth surface for lipstick, helping it glide on smoothly. Lip scrubbing will re-new the skin on your lips and remove the peeling dry skin, dead skin cells and makeup residue that can cling to unexfoliated lips. After exfoliating the lips, remember to apply a lip balm.

Protect the Lips
The skin on the lips is thin and they lack melanin, the pigment that helps shield skin from the sun, and this makes them more vulnerable to sunburn than the rest of your body. Sun exposure destroys collagen, and over time this will thin the lips. Always choose a lip balm with a sun protection factor of at least 15 and apply it about 30 minutes before you go outside into the sun.

Coat Lips With a Lip Balm Before Applying Lipstick
Matte lipsticks have the advantage of staying on the lips for longer but they are extremely drying. When the lips are chapped and flaking, matte lipsticks should be avoided. Instead, try using hydrating crème or satin finish lipsticks, and moisturise your lips well before applying lipsticks and glosses.

Now the lips are soft, healthy and looking in great condition but are they as full or pouty as you would like?  At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can advise you on Lip augmentation treatments. They are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that will enhance the appearance of your lips, making them fuller and better shaped. Dermal fillers can reduce or eliminate lip lines and replace some of the volume that has been lost from the lips over time. They are ideal for correcting thin lips and will also improve the appearance of a downward smile.

 

Lip Enhancement Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield

Lip Enhancement with Dermal Fillers

Ladies! Valentines Day is fast approaching, and that means lips are usually the main focus of the day! Lips are so sensuous, you eat, speak and kiss with them. So it's time to get those lips into a kissable condition!

Lips can say a lot about a persons age, health and character, and are an essential focal point on the face. A pair of full lips can be very alluring, looking smooth and supple with few lines, they should always have a healthy natural colour, regardless of your age. Our lips can be an indicator of ageing, as time spent biting or pursing the lips can lead to thin, deflated lips over time. Years spent talking, chewing, pouting, smoking or smiling can lead to lines and wrinkles around the lips.

The good news is, it doesn't matter how old you are, your lips can be rejuvenated. Lip enhancements are very popular with young women who want plumper lips and a fuller pout, with lip filler treatments giving a softer, fuller more youthful appearance.
Typically, full plump lips are a sign of youthfulness which is one of the main reasons women have their lips done in the first place. Lips start losing collagen as a direct result of ageing and then the lips start to thin.

Lip enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that increases flat, thin lips and adds volume and enhances the lip shape. Dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that occurs in the body, are injected into the lips.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, and are a very quick and easy way to improve your look. They typically last between 6 – 9 months and because hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, the risk of bad reactions to the procedure is very small.

Important rules for lip fillers enhancement:

• Safety - The preferred filler for lips is hyaluronic acid based as with this, side effects are extremely rare. They give lips a natural feel, they're soft, and they are absorbable and reversible if needed.
• Natural looking results - Our lips are always on the go, so when we talk or smile we want it to look natural. For natural looking lips it's best to start with a small amount of filler and add more later, if needed. Less is often more and it is best to have natural looking lips rather than over-stuffing them.
• Natural feel - Choose an experienced cosmetic doctor with the right injection technique and then lumpiness should not occur. Using a soft filler such as hyaluronic acid filler also helps. Make sure that your lips pass the “kiss test” - the person kissing you shouldn't be able to notice the lip enhancement!

 

What areas of the lips can be enhanced

• Vermilion border - which gives the outline and improves definition and minimizes lipstick bleed.
• The upper and lower lip - can have filler injected into it, giving more volume and substance to the lip.
• Cupid bow - defining the cupid bow gives female lips a balance.
• Philtrum ridges - when defined by the insertion of filler, this further enhances the features of the lips.

Recommended dermal fillers for lip enhancement

• Restylane kiss
• Juvederm Ultra
• Teosyl kiss

Lip Augmentation using Lip Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lip Augmentation using Lip Fillers

Well the festive season is here! Present receiving time! Did you get a new lipstick? or maybe you will buy one with a gift voucher. Well, before you choose your new lipstick you have to know what colour suits you.

First, determine your skin’s colour. This is the easy bit. Are you pale /f air, medium / olive or dark?

• Fair skin - Bright coloured lipsticks look great on women with a pale or a fair skin tone. Even pink and orange shades look great on this skin tone. Fair haired people can also carry off the natural makeup look quite easily with nude lipstick shades.
• Medium / Olive skin - Warmer skin tones like this should go for lipsticks with yellow undertones as it will make their skin look healthy and bright. Pinks and peaches look great too. Warm lipstick colours like red, maroon, wine and burgundy look stunning with their complexion.
• Dark skin - Dark skin tones should avoid bright pinks and reds as these colours may clash. If unsure about which colour lipstick to wear, try nude or brown lipsticks. And for those who love to have some colour on their lips, try coral lipstick shades as they have just the right amount of warm undertones to suit this skin tone.

Choose a lipstick shade to suit your skin tone

It's no secret that wearing dark coloured clothes makes you appear slimmer (think Little Black Dress)!!!  Well this also applies to makeup, the darker the lipstick, the thinner the lips look and no-one wants thin lips!

Follow these makeup tips for fuller looking lips :

* Apply a lip liner in a shade that is similar to your natural lip colour as a base. Trace along the cupid's bow and then outside the borders of your bottom lip to create the perception of a bigger, fuller pout.

* When you’ve lined the outside of your lips, fill them in to create a long-lasting base and that will help your lipstick last.

* Apply your favourite lipstick to both your top and bottom lip and make sure to apply an even amount of coverage.

* Make sure to blend the lipstick and lip liner using an angled lip brush to create an even, one-tone look.

* Use a flat, thick lip brush to highlight your cupid’s bow with a little bronzer to create definition.

* Apply bronzer beneath the bottom lip which tricks the eye into thinking that the lip is naturally full.



before & after lip augmentation

If you want a longer lasting, fuller looking pair of lips then maybe lip augmentation is the next step for you.

Lip Creases / Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield.

Lip Creases / Dermal Fillers

It does seem to be that wrinkles tend to show up in all the wrong places. When meeting, most people focus their attention on the other person’s eyes or mouth during a conversation. Unfortunately, those are exactly the areas where wrinkles show up first.

Even if we are not old, the signs of ageing will still show in our face sooner than we would want – especially around the mouth and lower face.
Are you beginning to notice lip creases and lip lines? Is your lipstick bleeding into your wrinkles and ruining your smile?

As we age, our bodies to go through many changes that can alter our appearance. Upper lip wrinkles can be caused by repeatedly making the same facial expressions, pursing the lips, by smoking, excessive sun exposure which can break down collagen and elastin in the skin, or maybe just the skin elasticity breaking down, these can all cause fine lines around your mouth to form over time.

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker’s lines, are those fine lines that start to radiate from your lips as you age. Lip lines can cause lipstick to bleed, as well as being a major sign of ageing. These vertical lines on the lips seem to be especially problematic for women.
The thinner your skin, the more visible the lines become. Over time, after many years these lines become permanent indentations in the lips.

Lip creases, one of the most dreaded signs of ageing, are caused by a loss of collagen and muscle tone. As our skin ages, we lose collagen in the skin and the skin becomes lax. This makes lip wrinkles worse and also allows the lip to sag or become longer. Loss of fat which occurs with facial ageing also contributes to thinning of the lips.

Although natural ageing does play a part in the formation of lip lines, the good news is that we can do something about it. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have had fantastic results using lip fillers to banish those lip creases.

Dr Bassi is a fully trained cosmetic practitioner in advanced filler techniques. No two faces are the same, so he tailors his facial filler and remodelling treatment to each individual.

At the clinic we recommend any of the following fillers for lip crease correction :
Restylane range
Juvederm Ultra 2
Teosyal Fine Lines

The procedure takes about 20 - 30 minutes. There will be a little swelling following the treatment and maybe some bruising. The swelling will have resolved within a day or two but any minor bruising can be covered with make up.

Come on ladies - kiss your lip lines goodbye !

Lip Enhancement - Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield, and Mansfield

Lip enhancement - actors, pop stars, celebrities, models and reality stars do it and now you can do it too !

Since forever, a woman’s lips have been viewed as a sign of youthfulness and sensuality.

More recently, the entertainment and fashion industry have brought the lips back into the spotlight. Looking around, it seems that full, luscious lips are everywhere.

There are days when you look at yourself in the mirror and want to change at least one thing to accomplish your ideal look; fuller, sensual lips are at the top of the list of most ladies worldwide.

While few of us are blessed with natural full lips, many of us need a little help to achieve the fullness that we desire.

It’s no secret that the lips are an important part of our facial beauty…whether they are giving a friendly smile, a loving kiss, or a cheeky pout, our lips are always drawing attention to themselves!

As the effects of growing older takes hold, even those of us born with perfectly beautiful lips may want to consider enhancing their lips’ appearance. 

We may be self-conscious about our smile, or have noticed that the lip seems to disappear when we speak or smile, or we simply want to balance out the proportion of the upper and bottom lip.
 

Over time, the volume of our lips depletes, leaving a thinner, flatter appearance.

Ageing naturally causes your lips to become thinner and lose definition  Fine lines, wrinkles and smoker's lines compromise their smooth look and tend to become less defined.

Around the mouth, the area between your upper lip and nose can become flattened and the corners of the mouth may turn downward, which can create a tired, aged appearance.

We would all like fuller, plumper lips with definition and shape to give us a great smile, show off the latest lip colours, get a big confidence boost and to compliment the beauty of the face.

 Lip enhancement plumps up lips and enhances the look of the entire face and gives you a bit of added confidence.

With Christmas and the festive party season fast approaching, what better time to plump up those luscious lips so they're ready to pucker up under the mistletoe !

Sounds good ?  If you have always coveted full, sensuous lips, then Doctor Bassi at Selston Cosmetic Clinic can help you to achieve beautiful natural looking lips which will suit you and your face.

A lip enhancement procedure can contour your lips which will help you look younger and feel more attractive.

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.
For a consultation with Dr Bassi, call the clinic on 01773 861845 and start the journey of the 'new you'
