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

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

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

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

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

Benefits of cheek filler injections:

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

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

Ease Nasolabial Grooves With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Everyone who looks at our face can easily see any obvious signs of ageing, after all, it's not a feature we can hide. How fast these signs of ageing happen varies from one person to another. There are lots of things which contribute to these changes, such as; our lifestyle, environment, genetics and our gender.

Dermal filler injections can improve lots of specific areas from ageing signs, with treatments such as; non-surgical nose-jobs, replacing volume in the chin, cheeks and tear troughs, plumping up thinning lips and improving the deep folds of laughter lines.

Deep nasolabial folds, or laugh lines are the large visible lines that run from the nose to the side of the mouth. Genetics and our facial structure partially decide how prominent and deep the nasolabial folds will get, and repeated facial expressions and the ageing process will exaggerate the lines, making them deeper.

The natural ageing process and the effects of excessive sun exposure can result in the face losing collagen, fat and elasticity, causing the face to sag and lose volume. Losing weight can also affect the face and sometimes not in a good way, as gravity can pull down fat and soft tissue which usually sits high up on the cheeks, causing sagging cheeks. This combined with the effects of gravity can cause nasolabial lines to appear. The smile lines go from the mouth to the nose, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip, generally becoming more pronounced the older we get.

Cosmetic treatments can treat facial ageing in many ways by using effective treatments. Dermal fillers can successfully restore areas of lost volume and injections of hyaluronic acid based filler will also smooth out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are highly effective in correcting nasolabial lines. The filler adds extra fullness to where wrinkles and folds are most prominent, smoothing out lines and restoring and enhancing the facial shape. Fillers will improve your looks, enhance your profile and leave your face with a natural expression. They are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery and the correction or softening of these folds gives your face a youthful fresher look.

Any side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising from the injections, are usually instantaneous, but quickly subside, and a numbing cream can easily be applied to minimise any discomfort. Injectable dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to temporarily improve fine lines, wrinkles and deep-set folds such as nasolabial lines as they can thicken the skin, reduce the lines and also restore and moisturise the skin.

Erase Smokers Lip Lines With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If we feel like we're beginning to look older it's only natural that we might like to reverse the effects of ageing. We will all get some facial wrinkles as we age, especially fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Anyone can get lip lines, and things like repetitive movement, sun exposure, smoking and genetics will speed up the process. As their skin is thinner, women tend to get lip and mouth wrinkles more often than men.

The lips are an important part of facial beauty, the shape and appearance of the lips draw the eye, and full, plump lips have become increasingly identified with both youth and beauty. As we get older the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres causes the lip volume to deplete, making them look thinner and flatter.  Many beauty products claim to halt the effects of ageing but there's no such thing and unfortunately our skin will continuously age regardless, but there are some ways to lessen lip lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliate

A natural way to lessen lip wrinkles is to exfoliate once a day. This will take away dead skin cells and the wrinkles will appear shallower.
Lip balm
When the lips are kept moist and hydrated it helps to prevent them from drying and wrinkling. Also consider using balm with sunscreen, when out in the sun.
Diet
Include food rich in antioxidants, such as leafy vegetables and citrus fruits and fatty omega 3 foods like fish or fish oil supplements into your diet.
Facial exercises
Massaging the face will increase blood circulation and tightens muscles and tissues around the mouth.
Water
Drink plenty of water to replace lost moisture to keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Injectable dermal fillers plump up thin lips, smoothing out vertical lines around the edges of the lips. The filler stimulates collagen production and encourages new tissue growth in and around the injected area. Over time, the body absorbs the gel carrier, while collagen continues to grow at the injection site, replacing the gel with the natural tissue.

Benefits of Lip Injections:

• Safe and non invasive
• Quick and effective results
• Adding volume to thin lips will improve the skin around the mouth
• Minimal recovery time and side effects
• Can resume routine activities almost immediately after treatment

Lip fillers offer a quick and effective way to withstand the ageing process. The results are immediate and side effects are almost none existent, although some people may very occasionally experience slight redness, mild swelling and some tenderness after treatment.

Dermal Filler Treatment to Replace Lost Volume to Ageing Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Along with the face, our hands are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. As well as developing age spots and wrinkles, over time we naturally lose collagen which means that the skin on our hands can begin to look thin and wrinkly. Over time they can lose firmness and volume, go dry and scaly and get protruding veins and age spots.

Dermal filler injections to improve the look of ageing hands

Throughout the day we are using our hands, and if we don't take care of them, they might start to look older than they are. The hands cope with years of washing up, daily use, sunshine and environmental factors, which cause the skin on our hands to dry out, and look old beyond their years.

Our skin can look youthful and healthy for longer if we practice a good skin care routine, but unfortunately we don't really give the same care and attention to our hands, as we do to our face. As we get older the veins and bones become more visible because the skin on the hands is thinner and more delicate than anywhere else, and just as we lose fat and collagen from the face and body, we also lose it on our hands, making them look older and skeletal.

As the hands are always exposed to the elements, they probably give away your age more than any other body part. Sun damage is the biggest culprit, which is why we should apply sunscreen to the backs of our hands as well as using a good hand cream at least once a day. Hands usually start looking older in our twenties, although most people don't recognise the signs of aging until they reach their forties and fifties.

Before & After filler treatment on ageing hands

After the face, the hands are the second most visible, tell-tale sign of our age. If you're bothered about how your hands are ageing and your aim is for them to look more youthful, you may want to consider hand rejuvenation.

• Microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and make the skin softer and brighter and help to even out the skin tone.
• Moisturise the hands after they've been in water and apply anti-ageing moisturiser while they're still damp,
• Chemical peels take away any dead skin and improve the skin tone, softening the skin and eliminating any brown spots.
• Laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help to plump up the skin.
• Dermal filler injections will correct volume loss on the back of wrinkly hands, improving the skin quality and plumping your hands up. A dermal filler treatment with hyaluronic acid, will add volume to the skin and make them wrinkle-free.

It seems a shame that when women take such good care to keep their face looking as good as possible, they find that the face and hands don't really match. The hands can look so much older than the rest of you and the loss of volume, fat and elasticity just accentuates the differences, making dermal filler treatment an ideal solution.

Correct Eye Hollows & Dark Circles with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Dark circles beneath the eyes are one of the biggest beauty problems that women face. Waking up in the morning and staring back at dark under-eye hollows in the mirror is never a pretty sight and although they aren't a serious problem, they can make us look older, unhealthy, tired and exhausted. Dark circles under the eyes are a normal occurrence, especially after a night out, a busy day at work or if we have sleep deprivation.

The darkness of the skin beneath the eyes is usually known as dark circles, dark rings or shadows, and they can creep up unannounced as the skin below the eyes is the thinnest and the veins underneath become visible for the slightest reasons. An increased production of melanin make women with darker skin tones more prone to hyperpigmentation around the eyes, where those with lighter skin tones often present dark circles with a reddish or purple hue.

As we age, we notice certain facial changes, and one that's commonly commented on is the dark circles under the lower eyelids, which can make us look tired and older than you really are, and it only gets worse as time goes on. The skin can also lose some of its volume and elasticity and the decrease of collagen production and elastin causes it to becomes thinner, and the loss of fatty tissues can cause a hollow or sunken appearance.

• Loss of volume around the eye area exposes the orbital bone, which can result in a hollowed appearance beneath the eyes.
• Changes in the skin's colour or pigmentation are common among those of African or Asian descent, causing dark circles under the eyes.
• Eye bags and dark circles can also be genetic, and there's a high chance that you could develop it as well, if some of your family have them too.
• Sun exposure can produce excess melanin which can also cause darkening around the eye area.
• Allergies, such as hay fever and cat hair, are common culprits often resulting in a dark purple hue around the eyes. 
• A hectic social life, with late night outs, excess alcohol or smoking, can all temporarily darken the eye area.

Sunken eyes can now be corrected using advanced dermal fillers, which can also help correct the dark shadowing beneath the eyes. Dermal filler not only fills in that hollow area, but it also helps to increase collagen production. The dermal fillers we use are non-animal based, and are extremely safe. We inject the filler into the deeper layers of skin, and over the following weeks will cause rehydration of the skin and underlying tissues, improving and rejuvenating your face.

Treat Ageing Skin at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We start to notice loose and sagging skin as we begin to get older, because as the body naturally ages, so too does the skin. The body stops producing collagen and elastin by the age of twenty-five and the hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin lessens, and this can result in the early signs of ageing.

There are lots of things that accelerate the ageing process of the skin:

• Sun damage - UVA rays emitted by the sun can cause pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity through collagen and elastin breakdown and skin-texture quality.
• Smoking - even second-hand smoke can cause damage to the elastin fibres causing sagging to the skin, age spots and lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
• Lack of sleep - can cause more fine lines, uneven skin colour and slackening of the skin.
• Stress - signs of stress can show up on your skin, hair and nails.
• Pollution and the environment - Dehydrated skin can leave the skin dry, rough and itchy and the city dust and dirt clogging up the pores can cause spots and make the skin look lifeless and dull.

Loss of volume in the face is one of the things we notice about getting older. As we age our facial fat is generally lost, causing the soft tissues to become thinner. Collagen and elastin will become less firm and elastic as we age, allowing the soft tissue in the face to sag. This results in the face looking thinner and facial bones looking more prominent.

Problems we get on the skin include:

• The cheeks - ageing skin is vulnerable to the effects of gravity and can sag, resulting in jowls and bags under the eyes.
• The mouth - laugh lines deepen and the fine lines that surround the lips, known as smokers lines begin to show
• The eyes - we get dark circles and tear troughs when the upper and lower eyes begin to sag.
• Facial thread veins - the blood vessels are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing thread veins.
• Age spots - when the pigment cells in the skin increase they cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• The forehead - repetitive facial expression movements made over time will see the start of wrinkles and furrows.
• The skin - facial wrinkles may occur because of thinning ageing skin. Reduced skin cell turnover will result in thinner crepe like skin. 

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments to treat ageing of the skin. A little wrinkle, a bit of sagging or dark circle might be making you look older than you really are, but our experienced and fully trained cosmetic doctor can help you choose from a variety of treatments, and recommend which treatment is suitable for all of your concerns.

Define The Chin & Jaw Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the first things we notice about the face starting to look older, is the loss of volume, which may happen because of the natural ageing process, or we might notice it when we lose weight, but even those with athletic, slim bodies can experience diminished volume in the face, resulting in hollows and loss of definition.

There are many cosmetic techniques that can restore facial volume to give a youthful, natural appearance. Dermal fillers offer a safe, non-invasive method of replacing volume loss, restoring facial balance, creating symmetry and improving the definition on features such as the chin, eyes, cheeks and jaw line.

Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment for:
* Lip Enhancement - giving the lips more definition
* Lip Augmentation - adding volume, giving the lips a fuller appearance
* Tear Troughs - to add volume and correct the hollows under and around the eyes
* Lip Creases - softening the depth of smokers lines around the mouth
* Nasolabial Folds - correcting the deep grooves at the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth
* Cheek Enhancement - enhancing and contouring the cheeks, to create higher cheekbones
* Jowls Correction - defining the jaw line to create a more defined, attractive line
* Marionette Lines - to lessen the lines that give you a turned down smile
* Nose - straightening out bumps, lifting the tip or improving the nose shape
* Chin - to define and change the contours of your chin

You might have always been quite happy with the shape of your face, but everything on the body changes as we get older and the chin is no exception. You may notice small changes over time; your chin can decrease in size and the jaw line can change shape. Dermal filler can easily be injected into the chin, to make it seem more prominent or increase the definition. Most women want to have a softer contoured chin, while men prefer to have a more masculine chiselled chin.

Dermal fillers for chin augmentation can:

• Improve the symmetry of the chin
• Improve self-confidence
• Give a defined, stronger jaw line to improve the appearance
• Gently reshape a weak chin
• Achieve a completely natural looking result

Re-shaping the chin using dermal filler will add definition, balance and symmetry to the chin using long-lasting dermal fillers in a non-surgical treatment. Dermal filler injections will improve an under developed chin, restoring a natural balance to the face.

Replace Volume on Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the effects of ageing than the face. Some people think lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others want to turn the clock back and regain their youthful look. Luckily we can rejuvenate the face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments.

Nasolabial folds are the indentation lines on either side of the mouth that start from the edge of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. These lines become more prominent when we smile and laugh, and unfortunately, over time these expressions create permanent and unwanted smile lines. Nasolabial folds develop because our facial muscles get weaker as we get older, and though some people feel they are a natural part of ageing, many others don't like them.

Both men and women start to notice nasolabial lines as they age and this happens when we lose volume in the cheeks and upper face. The area starts to sag, causing the fold of the cheek into the nose area. We can effectively use dermal fillers on male and female faces to replace volume and structure to the ageing face in the cheek and nasolabial region.

Nasolabial folds become more noticeable due to a variety of factors, including:

• Sun exposure, which damages the skin, causing wrinkles and changes in texture
• Loss of collagen with age, making the skin weaker and thinner
• Loss of fat, which can make the cheeks and nearby regions look saggy

The deepening of nasolabial folds are a common concern that affects many people and they occur when gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks, Gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold, and they generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.

Dermal fillers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments used to restore the loss of volume in the face. Dermal fillers work together with the remaining collagen and elastin in the body, to replace the volume that's lost through ageing, as well as smoothing out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins that keep the skin looking plump and youthful begins to drop from the age of twenty-five, and it's when these levels decrease when you start noticing the signs of ageing.

Dermal fillers can successfully replace volume in the face, smoothing out the creases, folds and wrinkles. Fillers are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery for replacing the volume that's been lost through facial ageing. The results achieved by using dermal fillers for the nasolabial folds are stunning and very natural looking.

Tear Troughs - Fill In Eye Hollows With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fresh looking eyes are a big asset to our overall facial appearance, we want to make a good first impression when we meet someone, we don't want them to only notice how tired and drawn we look. As we get older our face changes, and we begin to notice things like loss of volume and the skin getting thinner, and this, along with a natural decrease in fatty tissue and a loss of skin elasticity will cause the area beneath the eye to become puffy and shadowy.

The natural depression that follows the curve of the eye socket, from the nose around to the underside of the eye is known as the tear trough, because that’s where the tears gather. Getting dark circles beneath the eyes are a common problem as we age, and they can make us look weary. As well as ageing; smoking, the environment and stress can also contribute to shadows and eye bags, making them look worse.

When we're young, distribution of fat in our face is even, with some fat pockets plumping up the cheeks, forehead, temples and around the eyes and the mouth. As we get older, we lose volume as the fat shifts downward, making the features that were once rounded start to sink and become gaunt. This means that other parts of the face gain some fat, which tends to settle under the chin and around the jowls in the neck.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and we can see the underlying capillaries much easier compared to other parts of the face, making any diminished circulation, puffiness or swelling much more noticeable. Replacing volume in the under eye area can reshape the entire face and dermal fillers are now regularly used to fill in the hollows. Filling in these depressions can take away the tired look on your face and lighten the dark circles around the eyes.

Tear trough treatment will:

• Banish dark circles and bags from under the eye
• Ease wrinkles and lines
• Add volume to the under-eye area
• Get instant results that will last around 6-8 months
• Leave you feeling and looking more youthful

Tear trough treatment using dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that can restore your looks instantly. The filler gets precisely injected into the skin using very fine needles, re-creating the plump, firm skin that your under eye area used to have. A good cosmetic doctor with experience of injecting dermal fillers will have a trained eye for what looks good and what will suit your face. It's important to avoid an overdone and unnatural look, aiming instead for natural-looking results to make you look younger and more refreshed.

Add Volume & Shape To The Lips With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

For women, the lips are an important part of facial beauty, and wearing lipstick will draw attention to the natural shape and symmetry of their lips, highlighting both the good, and the bad points. However, due to ageing, some people feel that the shape of their lips aren't consistent with the shape or features of the face. This is because the face loses volume as we get older, and this is especially noticeable in the lips.

Our lips gradually become thinner and flatter the older we get, and they can develop fine vertical lines on and around the outer mouth area. The lips are a central focal point on the face, and for most of us having them look attractive is important, so if they lack volume or they aren't symmetrical it can really affect our confidence. It's now very safe and easy to improve the size, shape and symmetry of your lips in a subtle way; to add volume, add definition and to reduce fine lines around the mouth by using injectable dermal filler treatment.

Dermal fillers can:
Help to create a fuller upper and lower lip
Will enhance the shape and definition of the lips
Reduce fine lines around the mouth
Lift the corners of the mouth
Even out unbalanced lips
Erase smokers' lines

Dermal fillers will enhance the lip contours giving them a symmetrical appearance as well as improving the definition and outline. Fillers can offer an effective solution to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area, keeping the lips feeling soft and natural and giving them a more youthful look.

Lip augmentation will give your lips a fuller, plumper appearance, and the dermal fillers will enhance the shape, volume and definition of the lips. Augmentation helps when lips aren't symmetrical, when the top lip is thinner than their bottom lip or vice versa, or if one side of the top lip doesn't match the other side, making the lips to look at though they are sloping sideways.

Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that's found naturally in the body, and the results typically last four to six months. You can go from thin and barely noticeable lips to a sensual plump look with one visit to the cosmetic clinic. Lip fillers are a great way to smooth out fine lines around the mouth and achieve a more youthful appearance.

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.

Profhilo & Dermal Fillers for Wrinkly Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the few places on the body that actually loses fat as we age, is the backs of the hands. As we age our hands lose their firmness and volume, causing the veins and tendons to become more prominent. The skin on the hands is naturally thin and with continued exposure to the elements causes the skin to get thinner, drier and rougher.

Our hands are one of the first areas that tend to show signs of ageing, more so than other parts of the body. The hands, face and neck are the most visible areas of the body as they aren't usually covered with clothing. The sun, wind and rain, over the years, can cause our hands to become scaly, and sun-damage will cause wrinkles and visible veins, which makes them look older than they actually are. Over time our hands lose volume, fat and elasticity and become translucent and wrinkly and this results in the veins, tendons and bony structures becoming more obvious.

Before and after Profhilo injections

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:

• Age / Sun spots - We get pigmentation spots on the hands after years of exposure to the sun, and without intervention they will multiply, remember to always apply sun screen into your hands.
• Prominent veins - The loss of volume will leave the hands thinner and bony, and this will make the veins more prominent.
• Dry skin - As with the face, a dry, dull complexion will make your hands look older than they are, so putting on an emollient-rich hand cream will help to improve the skin.
• Crinkly skin - As we age, the body produces less collagen and when the hands lose collagen, the skin on the hands gets thinner and they start to look dry and crumpled.

Exposure to the sun can quickly age your hands, but the bigger problem is volume loss. Both dermal filler and Profhilo treatment can help.

Profhilo is an anti wrinkle injectable treatment that can work on many parts of the body. It's an injectable that's made from hyaluronic acid and is perfect for addressing areas where wrinkles are evident, as it stimulates the area to produce more collagen. We inject Profhilo superficially into the skin on the back of the hands at specific points called BAP (bio-active points)

Before and after dermal filler injections

Dermal fillers will restore lost volume and plump up bony hands, making prominent veins look less obvious. The dermal fillers are delicately inserted with very fine needles after applying topical anaesthetic to numb the injection area. The quality and texture of your skin improves with dermal filler treatment and decreases wrinkles and prominent veins.

Increase The Skin's Firmness & Elasticity with Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Once we have reached our thirties, our skin cells begin to lose collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This can cause a loss of volume in our face, and we can get dry skin and notice an increase of lines and wrinkles. If you're starting to show signs of ageing but aren’t quite ready to have dermal filler treatment, then Profhilo is an ideal way to refresh your skin and give it a youthful glow.

There's a new anti-ageing treatment called Profhilo, which is an injectable treatment and involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, making it an ideal treatment for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness through ageing. Smoking, stress, environmental factors and ageing, can cause the skin to begin losing its natural firmness and elasticity and Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. After this treatment there's a noticeable improvement straight away in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and the reduction of fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration. Profhilo, which is made up from hyaluronic acid gel, will increase facial fullness with a tightening and lifting effect, ​improving the skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance and increasing firmness and elasticity, resulting in a softer, healthier skin and a natural-looking appearance.

The treatment aims to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin growth

• Lift and firm

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid gel with one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we inject Profhilo in five separate points on the face to restore lost volume and to give an overall rejuvenated look. Rather than just adding volume and filling wrinkles, the slow release of hyaluronic acid will stimulate collagen and elastin production, which in turn will improve skin tone, hydration and the appearance of fine lines.

Profhilo is not a better option to fillers, and vice versa. Both of these treatments provide different approaches, so there will be one treatment that works best for your skin and your desired results. Profhilo offers greater safety due to its high purity and the absence of additives, reducing any risks and side effects.

Profhilo treatment consists of two sessions, four weeks apart. After your treatment, the injection points maybe slightly raised but these usually settle after a couple of hours. Results are best noticed after two sessions a month apart, however clients tend to notice a significant difference after only one session.

Fill In Ageing Tear Troughs With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spending ages applying your make-up can feel such a waste of time when you then look in the mirror, and all you notice is how tired your eyes look. The area around the eyes has extremely thin skin, which means it's one of the first areas on the face to show ageing. As we age, the facial skeleton can shrink inwards, and everything resting on top of it will fall downwards, causing a hollowness around the eyes and creating shadows which can make us look exhausted.

Sunken eye hollows can cause you to feel disheartened when you notice the lost volume under the eyes. The volume loss can start in your early twenties, becoming more obvious as you age. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, and unfortunately they will inevitably worsen as you get older. 

Reasons we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes:

• Ageing
• The most common reason is that it's heredity
• The loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids 
• Collagen loss in the skin, due to age and sun damage
• A temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area caused by dehydration

The tear trough extends from the inner corner of the eye, making an arc shape and continuing on to the outer corner, like a crescent-shaped area under your eye. The delicate skin beneath your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow, and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or lack of sleep.

A pronounced dip under the eye creates shadows and can leave you looking tired and older than your years. Injecting dermal filler into the eye hollow can smooth the area, lessen the look of the dark circles and rejuvenate the area. Tear trough treatment places the dermal filler below the skin, which will lift up the tissues, replace the volume and will make the tear trough area seem more shallow.

There are many descriptions used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Bags
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles
• Tired eyes
• Tear troughs
• Under-eye hollows

Injecting dermal filler for tear trough treatment is almost painless, needing only a small application of local anaesthetic numbing cream twenty minutes before the injection treatment starts. The practitioner uses a cannula for tear trough injections, as this technique minimises bruising, and is a gentler technique. The recovery time is very quick, although patients may experience some redness and swelling, but this can easily be minimised and covered up with make-up.

Dermal Filler to Replace Lost Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin is one of our best assets when it comes to beauty. A healthy firm skin, equals a younger-looking appearance and when we're young our skin is more elastic and resilient, which is mostly thanks to collagen. Collagen keeps the skin intact and hydrated, which makes it elastic, but as we age the skin weakens and loses its elasticity. This affects your facial expressions and you'll find that the skin will sag, causing it to develop lines and wrinkles.

There are ways we can help our skin to look good:

• Keeping up a good skin care routine
• Don't use soap on the face
• Wash your face twice a day, at morning and night, using warm water and a mild facial cleanser
• Always moisturise after cleansing, as it will hydrate the skin
• Good facial exfoliation is an essential part of any skin routine as it will remove dead skin cells
• Use sunscreen everyday

The most visible signs of ageing on the face is because of volume loss. When facial tissues lose volume, the cheeks start to look hollow, we get tear troughs under the eyes and lines can become etched around the nose and mouth. As we mature, we naturally lose subcutaneous fat in our faces, making the smile lines, frown lines and crow's-feet become more obvious, as the facial muscles are working closer to the skin's surface.

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin's own supply of hyaluronic acid and they revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly diminishing the lines and wrinkles and giving a softer natural look. Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel, consisting of hyaluronic acid which is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body. It's long-lasting but not permanent.

Dermal fillers are ideal to:

• Diminish vertical lines around the lips
• Fill in hollow tear troughs around the eyes
• Enhance and restore lost volume to sunken cheeks
• Plump up and enhance the lips
• Soften facial lines and wrinkles
• Plump out facial creases

The filler gets injected into the skin in tiny amounts, with a very fine needle. The gel filler produces volume under the skin, lifting up the wrinkles or folds, which results in smooth looking skin. It's a quick, easy treatment and the actual procedure takes between twenty minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment required. Straight after your treatment you'll have slight redness, mild swelling and tenderness, but these effects are temporary.

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.

Enhance Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The mouth and lips are one of the focal points of the face and we want to keep them looking good. When the face starts to show signs of ageing, one of the first things women tend to rectify is the lips. Over the years, our lips lose their definition, the volume decreases and they become thinner.

We might begin to notice lines and wrinkles around the mouth, or find that the lips getting dry and chapped, or you might just be unhappy with their size or shape. There are some lipsticks available that can temporarily plump up the lips, but if you want a longer lasting result there is help available, and dermal fillers could be the solution to help you get your lips back into a beautiful condition.

Why have lip enhancements?

• To add more volume, to get fuller, plumper lips.
• To balance out lopsided or asymmetrical lips.
• Add volume to naturally small, thin or flat lips.
• To give volume and symmetry to either a thin lower or upper lip.
• Enhancing the shape and definition of the lips.

Lots of women are looking for fuller and more sensuous lips, and we can get these by using dermal fillers. Having a simple, safe dermal filler treatment will add volume and definition to thin lips, both of which we lose, as we grow older. As well as this, the treatment can also balance out uneven lips and lessen the look of fine, vertical lines surrounding the mouth.

Areas that will benefit:
* The vermilion border or lip outline. The filler will create definition and width.
* The smoker's lines around the mouth, which causes lipstick bleeding lines.
* Upper and lower lip - for volume and fullness.
* Definition of the cupids bow - filler adds definition and contouring.

Along with botox, lip augmentation has become one of the most often requested cosmetic treatments, and it's a popular procedure with a wide age range. At reputable clinics, before any treatment the practitioner will discuss your requirements, and recommend which filler he will use. A fully trained cosmetic practitioner will always pay attention to the shape of the lips, and not just to their size, and as clients usually want a natural looking lip enhancement, it's important to use soft natural fillers. The day after the procedure the lips may swell slightly, so it's always a good idea to have the procedure at the weekend when you have a couple of days off to recover.
