PDO Threadlifts to Lift & Tighten The Facial Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin's elasticity loosens as we grow older and we tend to lose volume in various areas of our face. Ageing can lead to the start of wrinkles and sagging skin, developing into nose to mouth lines and these can result in jowls. If you don't want to have an invasive surgical facelift, then a non-surgical treatment is the solution.

Lot's of people are looking for treatments to lift and rejuvenate the face using non-invasive treatments and PDO thread lifts can deliver this and give you excellent results.

PDO thread lifts are ideal to use on:
*  Sagging jowls
*  Eye bags
*  Drooping upper eyebrows

The procedure lifts the face at targeted points, stimulating ongoing collagen and elastin production, which will make your skin feel and look firmer. It will smooth wrinkles, tighten your skin and define the jaw line, creating a gentle lift which will give you natural-looking results. After an application of topical anaesthetic cream, a very fine needle will insert the threads. These dissolvable threads will discreetly hold repositioned skin and facial tissue in place and as there aren't any cuts or incisions, there's no scarring.

The PDO thread lift procedure can treat either all of your face, or just partial areas, depending on your needs and it will combine beautifully with dermal filler. The threads are extremely versatile, and will give amazing results around the face and neck.

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.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With a PDO Thread Lift Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young and in our prime, the skin on our face is usually smooth and taut but we all grow older, and the worst part of this is seeing the way our face ages. These changes can make us feel self-conscious and many of us would like to turn back time.


It's quite demoralising when we get to an age when our features are no longer as sharp or as defined as they once were. The facial profile suddenly becomes a bit blurry and we notice that our cheekbones are starting to sag down our face, causing the jaw-line to become undefined and the neck starts to look wrinkly.

Collagen is lost over time, making the skin less elastic. This looser skin is gradually pulled downwards, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, and resulting in jowls in the lower face, making us look older. Today's women prefer less invasive and non-invasive treatments that involve less recovery time and less self-care after the treatment.


An ideal cosmetic treatment that will tighten and tone the loose skin, without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure, is a PDO thread lift. This thread lift can deliver what is essentially a face lift, but without the invasive surgery. There are no cuts or incisions, just simple injections which we place in strategic places on the face.

A PDO thread lift will lift loose or sagging skin, improving and rejuvenating the of the structure of the face. PDO threads are inserted into the skin with a very fine needle, either just under the skin, or in the fatty layer just beneath the skin, lifting the tissue and muscle and greatly improving the texture of the skin. It's a minimally invasive treatment achieving tighter, younger looking skin and lasting for up to two years. The threads are absorbable so they don't need removing from the body. Once inserted, they will pull up the jaw-line, lift the cheeks and will reduce the lines around the eyes, nose and mouth, and tighten the neck.


An instant facial lift is often noticeable straight after the treatment, but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards. The PDO threads produce collagen around the threads and the new collagen that's produced, lifts the skin and creates more volume.

PDO threads get inserted all over the face and combine beautifully with dermal fillers to reveal a new, rejuvenated you. Thread lifts are an extremely versatile treatment, they're very simple, safe and almost painless. It's a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure that leaves you with a natural, rejuvenated look.

Look Younger & Lift Sagging Skin with PDO Threadlifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young, the skin on our face is taut and smooth, it has a smooth contour where the cheek meets the chin and strong definition at the jaw line. But as we get older, collagen is lost, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner which will make us look older. As the skin loses elasticity it will cause gravity to gradually pull the loose skin downwards, and this will result in jowls appearing at the lower face.


We can rectify lost volume and elasticity in a few ways. Dermal fillers are a good option for people who don't want a surgical procedure. Fillers add volume, create cheekbones and give the skin a gentle lift. Dermal fillers last up to one year depending on your lifestyle, those who party hard might find they don't last as long. Dermal fillers can give instant results and you can return to work the next day looking fresh and rejuvenated.

Another treatment that gets great results, are PDO thread lifts. The PDO thread lift treatment has a dual effect. Firstly, they give an immediate lift to sagging skin and secondly they stimulate the body's own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The skin gets numbed with a local anaesthetic and the threads are then injected under the skin in strategic places, forming a matrix of threads which will lift and rejuvenate the skin. Some threads are so fine they are like hairs, the stronger threads are thicker and have small barbs on them that will attach to the skin and give a good lifting result.


PDO threads are ideal to treat;
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Sagging eyebrows
  • Lower eyelid - bags under the eyes
  • Cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Jaw line
While the threads remain under the skin, they cause collagen to form by stimulating the fibroblasts and this will also improve your skin tone and radiance. The procedure is almost painless with little downtime. You might experience the odd bruise, but these can easily be covered with light make up. The PDO threads don't need removing from the body as they absorb into the body, and they can either be used as a stand-alone treatment or used along with botox and fillers to get a fantastic result.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer an extensive range of cosmetic procedures for the face and body to help create a younger, more youthful looking you!

Improve an Ageing Face with a PDO Thread Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you feel that as you've grown older, the skin on your face has become loose or that it's starting to sag, and you would like a tighter, fresher, more youthful look without having any invasive surgery, then you should really consider PDO thread lift treatment. 

When we age it causes the skin tissue to become thinner, because the collagen and elastin fibres break down, and this will result in sagging skin, creases, folds, lines and wrinkles. PDO threads are a non-surgical treatment that can restore the face and neck, giving it back a youthful shape. They can improve and reduce sagging, loose skin, such as the jowls, cheeks, neck and eyebrows. 


At a consultation the cosmetic doctor will discuss your needs and decide what sort of result you are looking for. He will decide which areas he will concentrate on, to get an overall enhanced appearance. Thread lifts can help improve sagging cheeks, forehead wrinkles, deep lines and wrinkles, loss of facial volume, jowls and can even redefine the jaw line. Thread lifts are ideal for those who want a subtle change in their mid and lower face and don't want a long recovery time.

PDO Thread lifts can give you amazing results on;
  • Sagging jowls
  • Under eye bags
  • Drooping upper eyebrows
  • Defining the jaw line
The thread lift procedure involves lifting different areas of the face using specialised threads, all done without the need for surgical incisions. An ultra fine needle inserts the thread into the skin, into either the skin itself, the subcutaneous fat or the muscle.


The threads help to tighten and firm the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and also improves skin hydration by promoting hyaluronic acid which smooths the skin. Wrinkles will ease and the skin will look less crepe-like. You'll notice a lifted appearance immediately after the treatment, and the results will continue improving over the following days and weeks.

The benefits of a thread lift include;
  • Instant and long-lasting results
  • Minimal downtime
  • Increase in natural collagen production
  • No cuts and no incisions
  • No stitches
The PDO threads gradually dissolve after 6 months, and the skin will keep improving for about 2-6 months, as new collagen grows between the threads giving a further lift and tightening to the skin. The results last for 12-18 months.

The threads are extremely versatile, and will give amazing results around the face and neck. They can treat vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, sagging brows, drooping cheeks, a saggy jaw line, neck folds and wrinkles on the chin.

When they're injected they create 3 effects:

Firmer, Tighter Skin with PDO Thread lifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you are starting to get a saggy face, with jowls at your jaw and drooping eyelids but feel that you don't want to go to the time and expense of a face lift, then PDO thread lifts is the treatment for you.

Treads being inserted during a PDO thread lift procedure.
PDO thread lifts are really a face lift without surgery, and the procedure itself is very simple as there are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places. The threads used are Polydioxanone (PDO) which are a synthetic fibre, used in medicine for many years, typically in surgery. Before treatment, local anaesthetic gets injected, which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections. The PDO threads are simply inserted into the skin with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle and improve skin texture. They dissolve after a certain amount of time in the skin.

When we start to get older we tend to lose the volume in various areas of our face and PDO thread lifts are ideal for loose or sagging skin. The treatment is non-invasive and is done purely with injections. They are extremely versatile and can treat all around the face and neck, treating vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, drooping cheeks, sagging brows, sagging jaw line, pronounced nasolabial (nose to mouth) and marionette (corner of the mouth to the chin) folds and neck and folds and wrinkles on the chin.

PDO thread lifts can improve
  • The horizontal and vertical forehead lines and wrinkles
  • A forehead lift
  • Sagging eyebrows
  • Lower eyelid - bags under the eyes
  • Marionette lines
  • Jaw line
  • Naso-labial folds
  • Creased cheeks.
Thread lifts will give the skin an immediate lift, take away fine lines and wrinkles and improve the skin's appearance. They lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting the formation of hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration / moisturisation. PDO threads will dissolve at around 6 months and by this time the collagen will have been rebuilt and the effects will last up to two years.

As with all injectable treatments, bruising can happen after the procedure. The amount of bruising is different from client to client and will also depend on the area being treated. The recovery time for this treatment is usually under a week and you should avoid strenuous exercise for between two to three weeks.

PDO thread lift treatment will improve your skin texture, leaving you with tighter, firmer skin and natural looking results, giving you a refreshed, rejuvenated, youthful look.

Smoother Tighter Face with PDO Thread Lifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young and in our prime, the skin on our face is usually smooth and taut. The jaw-line has a strong definition, and the contour where the cheek meets the chin is smooth. It's quite devastating to get to that age when your features are no longer as sharp or defined as they once were. The facial profile suddenly becomes a bit blurry and we notice that our cheekbones start to sag down our face causing the jaw-line to become saggy and the neck beginning  to look wrinkly.

During the procedure
As our skin ages, some of the collagen is lost, making the skin less elastic. The loose skin is gradually pulled downwards, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, and resulting in jowls in the lower face, making us look older. One way to tighten and tone the loose skin without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure is a PDO thread lift. PDO thread lifts can deliver what is essentially a facelift, without the surgery. There are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places.

The PDO thread lift will improve and rejuvenate the face's structure, lifting loose or sagging skin. PDO threads are simply inserted into the skin with a very fine needle, either just under the skin, or in the fatty layer just beneath the skin, lifting the tissue and muscle and improving the texture of the skin. Once they're inserted, they will pull up the jaw-line, lift the cheeks and will reduce the lines around the eyes, nose and mouth, and tighten the neck.

PDO Thread Lift before and after

After a thread lift, an instant lift is often noticeable but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards. The PDO threads produce collagen around the threads and the new collagen that's produced, lifts the skin.

It's a minimally invasive treatment achieving tighter, younger looking skin, lasting for up to two years. The threads are absorbable so they don't need removing from the body.You will see an immediate visible lifting effect and a natural improvement in the skin.

PDO Thread Lift Treatment for a Younger Looking Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to stave off the ageing process. When we are young, the skin on our face is nice and tight, with the cheek and chin meeting in a smooth contour and definition at the jaw-line. But when we start to age, collagen is lost, making the skin less elastic, and gravity will start to pull the loose skin downwards, creating jowls in the lower face and causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, making us look older.

Ageing causes the skin tissue to become thinner because the fibres in the collagen and elastin break down, which results in sagging skin, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. If you look in the mirror and wish for a sharp defined jaw-line, but you aren't ready for a surgical facelift, then a PDO thread lift is the solution. A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift and is often called the lunch hour lift, because it can be performed within 60 minutes or less. The procedure actually changes the shape of your face, restoring a youthful look in the same way as a surgical facelift.

The thread lift improves and rejuvenates the structure of the face. They are great for loose or sagging skin, and PDO threads need no cuts or incisions, they are simply inserted into the skin with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle and improve skin texture. Depending on the area being treated, the threads are inserted either just under the skin, or into the fatty layer just beneath the skin.

The PDO threads have a dual effect, first to give an immediate lift, secondly to stimulate the body's own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid and they are absorbable so they don't need to be removed from the body. The thread is the same as what's used in open heart surgery and will dissolve at around 6 months. By this time the collagen will have been rebuilt and the effects will last up to two years. Results are visible straight away but continue to improve as collagen is promoted.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we regularly perform PDO thread lifts with great results. The threads can be used all over the face and will combine beautifully with Dermal Filler to give a rejuvenated new you! Just recently this lovely woman had a thread lift at our clinic (see photo below)


              Before treatment     -   and then 5 days later

An instant lift is often noticeable but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards.

The procedure is suitable for most people from age 25 onwards, when the effects of ageing starts to become apparent. PDO thread lifts reverse the effects of ageing and vastly improve quality of the skin. Sagging jowls, eye bags, drooping upper eyebrows and the jaw-line are all area's suitable for this procedure.

Thread lifts are extremely versatile and the procedure is very simple, safe and almost painless. It's a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure lift that gives a natural, rejuvenated look.

Oscar Winning Procedures - Botox - Lipo- PDO Threadlifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Well the 2016 Academy Awards are over for another year. The after-parties have ended and the Oscar statuettes taken home and put pride of place, either on the book shelf or in the loo. All the Oscar nominated actresses spend months of preparation beforehand, getting themselves ready for big events like the Academy Awards and they may well be breathing a sigh of relief now that it's over.

It's all fine and dandy to wear a beautiful gown from one of the top dress designers, but it's beneath the glamour where things really get interesting. Actresses endure many treatments and procedures to get them looking spectacular for the photographers as they walk up the red carpet, and by the worldwide coverage on TV and magazines as they accept their award. The Hollywood beauties need to look like winners at all times and it's a long, long road to be red-carpet-ready.

High-definition photography and social media means that actors now have every detail, good and bad, of their face and body appear in hundreds of photos in newspapers, magazines and on-line. As a result, the stakes for perfection have never been higher.

The Hollywood ladies are said to use these treatments and procedures, and luckily, most of the treatments can be used on us mere mortals too!

VITAMIN SHOTS AND IV DRIPS
  • Before the Oscars, some stars have vitamin B12 shots injected straight into their blood stream to get a jolt of energy, helping them to cope with the long evening ahead.
TEETH WHITENING
  • Having your teeth whitened is a necessity for the red carpet look. Stars usually get professional teeth whitening treatments a few days before major events.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
  • Stars in skimpy dresses won’t dare risk the camera catching any unwanted hair or stubble, so most will have laser hair removal treatments months before the awards show.  Celebrities most done area's, are the legs, bikini line, facial hairs, underarms and arms, all depending on what the gown is covering. Having all these little hairs removed helps the skin shine in photographs.
Laser Hair Removal

LAST-MINUTE LIPO
  • Lipo will take away those small pockets of fat on the tummy and hips, so there aren't any lumps and bumps showing in the skin-tight gown. It can tighten up the neck, giving definition and also take fat away from the upper arms, stopping those bingo wings from flapping.
Female abs - Vaser Lipo before and after

MICRODERMABRASION/CHEMICAL PEELS
  • To make the ladies glow on the red carpet, procedures such as facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels are used as sometimes, make-up just isn't enough!
BOTOX AND FILLERS
  • Hollywood stars are no stranger to using Botox to smooth the skin and banish wrinkles, and injectable fillers can help to plump up lips and cheeks. A skilled cosmetic doctor can artistically inject Botox strategically to erase the forehead creases, the frown lines, the “eleven” lines between the eyebrows and crows feet around the eyes, leading to a very natural, brighter, softer and relaxed look to the face. With subtle application of Botox, the eyebrows can be raised to give the eyes a more open, rested and less stressed look, and the results will show within days. Botox isn't used just for the face any more, it's also used to inject into the armpits to prevent sweating, putting an end to perspiration stains around the armpits of that expensive, or borrowed gown when on the red carpet.
Botox - before and after

PDO THREADLIFTS
  • Having time for a full blown face-lift in time for the ceremony isn't very realistic, so stars have the next best thing - PDO Threadlifts.  This minimally invasive face-lifting procedure has been performed very successfully for quite a few years now. PDO threads are special dissolvable threads which dissolve in 6 months. They lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin, making the face worthy of thousands of camera flashes.

So if you have a big occasion coming up, and you want to have the red carpet experience, the Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides lots of cosmetic procedures which will make you feel like a million dollars!
Have a look at our new website and check out the gallery to see our fantastic results.
 
You don't have to win an Oscar to look like a Star !

PDO Thread Lift - The Non-Surgical Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

PDO Thread Lift treatment - the non-surgical face lift.

Are you starting to look your age and feel like you could do with a face lift - but you definitely don't want to go under the surgeon's knife?

It's great when we're young and the skin on our face is nice and tight, the jaw-line is defined and the cheeks and chin have a smooth contour. But sadly, this youthfulness doesn't last.

Our skin is made up of 80 per cent collagen but disappointingly, after the age of 25 we lose it at the rate of about one per cent a year! Collagen, which is responsible for the smooth, plump appearance of young, healthy skin is lost, and we are left with wrinkles and saggy skin which is a lot less elastic.

Gravity pulls the loose skin and causes it to sag, creating jowls in the lower face and thinner skin around the cheeks, making us look older. As we age, the loss of collagen and elastin in our skin can cause our facial tone to get looser, and wrinkles, fine lines and creases begin appearing on our face.
Losing the collagen, along with the natural loss of fat on our face, can make the cheeks look hollow and create heaviness above the jaw-line and the chin, leaving us with an older, tired appearance.

Until fairly recently, a face lift was the only real option for turning back the signs of ageing, however, now there is a fantastic anti-ageing treatment in the form of the PDO Thread Lift. Polydioxanone (PDO) is a wound stitching thread which has an excellent safety record and has been involved in surgical use for 25 years.
The thread lift procedure makes it possible to lift and tone sagging skin by using injectable threads, and better still, it doesn't need general anaesthetic, incisions or any invasive surgery.

Which areas can be treated with the threads?

  • Sagging jowls
  • Eye bags
  • Drooping upper eyebrows
  • Jaw-line

The Thread Lift is a procedure which rejuvenates and improves the structure of the face. Specialised threads are introduced into the skin with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle and improve skin texture. Depending on the area being treated, the threads are inserted either just under the skin or into the fatty layer just beneath the skin. The PDO threads have a dual effect, first to give an immediate lifting effect, secondly to stimulate the body's own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.





What results can I expect from the Thread Lift?

  • After the procedure, an instant lift is often noticeable but even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards.
  • The threads are absorbable so they do not need to be removed from the body.
  • The PDO threads will give the skin a natural improvement and an immediate visible lifting effect.
  • Wrinkles will be reduced and crêpe like skin will look more youthful.

Advantages of having PDO thread lifts
  • The results are instant
  • The Thread lift has no tell-tale signs
  • Minimal down time
  • No cuts or incisions
  • Has a high safety profile
  • Skin tightening
  • Improvement of tone and texture
  • Increase of collagen production
  • The treatment is simple and relatively fast

The great news is that the results get even better over the next 12 weeks, because collagen, elastin and hyalauronic acid is stimulated and produced.
They last 12 to 18 months.
Wrinkles will be reduced and crepe like skin will look more youthful.

Enhance your natural beauty

PDO Threadlifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield.

PDO Threadlifts


Getting older happens to us all and the worst part is watching the way our face changes. Have you started looking in the mirror and not liking what you see ?
Are you starting to get a saggy face ? Got some jowls at the jaw ? drooping eyelids ? And are you starting to avoid looking in the mirror because you are so self-conscious of your faults.

As we age we tend to lose the volume in various areas of our face. Also the elasticity of the skin  loosens and this leads to wrinkles and sagging skin.
The nose to mouth lines develop and that's when we get jowls.



Luckily these problems can be rectified. And PDO Threads are the answer !
These days women prefer less invasive and non-invasive procedures that involves less recovery time and less self care after the treatment.

PDO threadlifts are essentially a facelift without surgery. There are no incisions or cuts,  just simple injections placed in strategic places.
The procedure is very simple, similar to dermal fillers, but in this procedure we leave a thread inside instead of filler.

PDO threads immediately lift the skin, creating more volume and then they stimulate collagen production in the area to give tighter skin and a more youthful look.
PDO threads have been used in heart surgery for many years and are perfectly safe.
You may have read recently that EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth, has turned back time with a non-surgical facelift which used a dissolvable thread to remove wrinkles.

PDO threads are extremely versatile and can be used all around the face and neck. They can treat vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, sagging brows, drooping cheeks, saggy jawline, neck folds and wrinkles on the chin..

We offer this treatment at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, where after a consultation with Dr Bassi to discuss your needs, the procedure can be performed and give you amazing results.
Check out our before and after photo's.



The thread is used to give a tailor-made result, lifting specific parts of the face.
Beforehand, an injection of local anaesthetic is given, which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections.
The PDO threads are injected and they lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting the formation of  hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration / moisturisation.
Wrinkles will be reduced and crepe-like skin will look more youthful

So if you want to redefine your face but you don’t want surgery - Give us a call !

Obviously the eyes.

As well as being the windows to the soul, the eyes are also the windows to, well, your age. In fact, studies have shown that when strangers are asked to judge how old a person is, the eye area is one of the biggest influences.

We consider lots of things to keep our eyes looking youthful. To help to camouflage ageing we use creams, concealers, serums, cucumber slices and even tea-bags !

As we age, one of the changes we can expect to notice are the dark circles and deepening of the hollows below your eyes. The Naso-jugal groove also known as the Tear Trough occurs due to the thinning of the overlying skin and soft tissue over the bony orbital rim and happens as a consequence of the ageing process, genetics or also can be caused by sun damage.

Tear troughs run from the nose side of each eye in an arc under the lower eyelid. Most people complain of a tired looking appearance due to the darkness caused by the shadow. Troughs are caused by loss of volume in the tissue under the eye and above the cheek and are often seem worse in appearance when we are tired or dehydrated.

The Tear Troughs can be treated using either dermal fillers or PDO Threads.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses Teosyl Redensity II dermal fillers. This treatment involves injecting filler into the under eye area. This fills out the hollows and lines under the eyes and helps to mask dark circles with it's light reflecting technology.

The tear trough procedure takes place in our clinic, and takes less than an hour of your time. Teosyl Redensity II will rejuvenate tired looking eyes to create a more youthful appearance that lasts up to twelve months.

PDO threads are dissolvable threads which are introduced into the skin with a very fine needle. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, it lifts tissue and improves skin texture. PDO Thread treatment can be used on a number of areas : tear troughs, sagging jowls and drooping upper eyebrows. The procedure takes less than an hour and lasts between 12 / 18 months
