Improve Your Facial Skin with Chemical Peel Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we reach our late twenties or early thirties, we start to notice certain signs of ageing, like facial wrinkles or the start of sagging skin. Most of us usually accept that what we see in the mirror is an inevitable process of nature, with sun damage, smoking, pollution, the environment, stress and lack of sleep, all accelerating the skin's ageing process.

People have chemical peel treatments to gain a cleaner, fresher and younger appearance for their face. It's a great treatment to lessen, or take away lines and wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scars, age spots, superficial scars and other blemishes. The peels penetrate into the dermis; the inner layers of your skin, and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin, to produce new collagen and elastin. They also increase cell turnover, resurfacing the skin which results in improved texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and more youthful appearance.

These non-invasive skin peels can give dramatic results for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull lifeless skin
• Sun damaged skin
• Active acne
• Mild acne scars
• Irregular pigmentation

Cold weather can have a harsh effect on the skin, causing dryness as the moisture gets sucked out of the epidermis, leaving it itchy, tight and uncomfortable. Fine lines start to look deeper and the skin begins to look rough and flaky. The older we get, the more wrinkles, fine lines, acne, mild face scars, sun damage, freckles and pigmentation start to show on our face. Chemical peels fight these things by slowing their growth or by diminishing them completely.

As well as improving the skin's appearance, chemical peels remain a widely used, useful part of cosmetic beauty treatments and they can help treat a number of skin concerns. Chemical peels are most often used as an anti-ageing treatment, helping to improve acne and discolouration or simply to freshen up the skin.

Benefits of chemical skin peels are:

• Pain free with no skin flaking or shredding
• A good treatment if you're suffering from acne and within a few months can help clear up inflammation and even acne scars
• Promoting growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which will thicken the skin and improve the resistance to the effects of ageing
• Improving the skin's texture and tone, making the face look and feel fresher

Chemical facial peels aim to remove the dead cells from the skin's surface to allow new healthy skin cells to grow back, creating smoother looking skin. It's a non-invasive treatment used to restore youthfulness to wrinkly, blotchy, sun-damaged skin and can also be used to treat blemishes, scars and help reduce the signs of ageing.

Fresher, Younger Looking Skin with Chemical Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

You can look years younger when you have clear, radiant skin, and when your skin is clear and healthy-looking it can have a dramatic positive impact on your appearance. There are some people who are fortunate enough to have beautiful skin throughout their lives, but sadly there are others who may have bad skin from an early age, that's made considerably worse by the ageing process, which will leave you with a complexion that no longer has its youthful vitality. Looking after your skin is an important issue and lots of people, need to give it continuous attention from an early age.

October has arrived and though our summer memories are starting to fade, the damage done to our skin by the sun has not, and the fine lines, sun spots and dull skin can often remain on the hands and face. Along with the sun, poor diet, a bad skin care regime, smoking and hormone imbalance can cause the texture of the skin to look rough, dull and aged.

Chemical peels can address a variety of issues and can offer;

• A noticeably smoother and fresher looking skin
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduced signs of sun damage, acne and mild scars
• Improves uneven skin tone, dull skin, pigmentation and enlarged pores
• Smooths rough skin texture 

When having a chemical peel treatment, the practitioner will apply a mild acid solution to the face, causing the outer layer of skin to blister. removing the dead cells, which will allow skin cell regeneration. Peels can also help rebuild collagen, helping to form skin that's smoother with an even skin tone and then leave a new, fresher layer of healthy skin in its place. The practitioner can apply either a superficial or deep chemical peel, depending on how sensitive the client’s skin is and the amount of skin damage present.

Chemical peels are a safe and effective way to treat skin irregularities. Whether you’re having to cope with uneven skin tone, enlarged pores or a rough skin texture, the correct skin care can make a massive difference, so now is the time we should get back to basics, as maintaining a youthful, healthy glow will boost your self-confidence.

Skin peels make your face look and feel fresher and rejuvenated. They are a non-invasive treatment for ageing skin and they are suitable for all skin types. They penetrate into the skin without irritation, instantly giving a smooth, tighter feel to the skin, and giving your skin a wonderful glow.

Laser Treatments for Acne Scars & Scarring - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

At some time in our life, nearly every one of us will suffer from spots, and for many this is just a part of life, due to puberty, hormones, stress or diet and thankfully these acne outbreaks soon disappear. Acne usually starts at puberty, it occurs in both sexes and tends to be worse in those with oily skin. In the teenage years, boys tend to have the most severe cases and women are more likely than men to have some form of acne into their 30s and beyond. Although acne usually happens in adolescence, about 20% of all cases occur in adults.

Having acne can happen to anyone and celebrities are just as vulnerable as the rest of us. They may have the resources to receive the best medical care, but they still suffer with the same skin problems that the rest of us do, and acne is certainly no exception. It might make us feel slightly better to know that even glamorous film stars like Cameron Diaz and successful models like Kate Moss sometimes have to deal with acne.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prevention is always better than a cure, so to help keep the skin healthy and glowing :

• Drink plenty of water. Many recommend drinking eight glasses of water a day!
• Always wear sun screen. The sun rays are powerful and the skin can dry out without proper protection.
• Wash your face twice a day. Freshen up at the start of your day, but remember to do the same at night, as your skin collects a lot of dirt throughout the day.
• Don't over exfoliate your skin. Twice a week is plenty!

Scarring can result from untreated acne or any condition that causes a rash, such as chickenpox, where it's likely you will scratch or pick at the affected areas. There are various types of acne scars, ranging from mild angular or wavelike scars, to more the severe deep pitting or ice-pick scars. Scarring is a natural part of the healing process and certain cosmetic procedures, used on their own or combined, can even out the skin's surface.

• Acne Scar Laser Treatment
• Medical Microdermabrasion
• Dermaroller
• SmartXide Co2 Fractional Laser
• Chemical Skin Peel

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we use the most advanced laser technology, to offer a safe and effective way for treatment of mild to moderate acne scars.

Using our American FDA approved dual wavelength laser system, which is non ablative, meaning the surface of the skin remains unchanged, with virtually no down time. The gentle lasers reach deep down to the collagen level of the skin, the precise therapeutic laser energy stimulates production of collagen and elastin fibres and this dramatically improves the look of acne scars.

Chemical Peel for Rejuvenated Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's well known that the winter months aren't kind to our skin. Whether it's being out in the harsh, wet, cold weather or spending most of our time indoors with the central heating drying out our skin. The truth is that come the Spring, our skin is definitely in need of a boost!

A lot of skin problems are associated with a build up of dead skin cells, which can make skin look dull with clogged up pores. Skin Peels offer a great way to treat and improve ageing skin, acne, sun damage and the skin's irregular pigmentation. With a short course of treatments, it can also help the skin to appear smoother, brighter and vastly improve the texture and colour of the skin.

This is where the Selston Cosmetic Clinic can come to your aid!
We offer revolutionary medical skin peels which are non-irritating, pain free and do not cause skin shedding or redness, which other, harsher chemical peels are usually associated with. These chemical peels have now become increasingly popular, giving fantastic results as seen on television programmes such as "10 Years Younger."

Treatment using chemical peels can:

• Reduce fine lines from under the eyes and around the mouth
• Treat wrinkles which are caused by sun damage and ageing
• Improve the appearance of mild scars
• Treat active acne
• Reduce age spots, freckles and irregular pigmentation
• Improve the look and texture of the skin

A chemical peel is a non-surgical procedure, with the aim being to enhance and rejuvenate the facial appearance, giving you smoother, softer, blemish free skin.

Why have chemical facial peels?

Over time, your skin can gradually appear dull and lifeless, which maybe caused by dead skin cells that accumulate and clog up your skin. Chemical facial peels will remove the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin to allow new healthy skin cells to grow back, which will create smoother looking skin.

The benefits of chemical skin peels:

• The treatment is pain free
• There is no skin shredding, no skin flaking, no irritation and no redness
• Promotes growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which thickens the skin and improves resistance to the effects of ageing
• Skin peels make your face fresh and youthful and improves skin texture and tone
• Suitable for all skin types (light to dark skin)

Dr Bassi at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic has over 10 years experience in the cosmetic industry and has performed numerous chemical peels. The doctor will examine your skin, discuss your requirements and recommend a treatment plan specific for you.

The procedure takes about 45 minutes and you can return to normal activities immediately following treatment. The treatment course consists of 6 treatments, each 4 weeks apart. Most clients see an improvement after their first treatment.

Peel away that winter skin and look forward to a bright, glowing Spring!

These after photos are ONLY DAYS after the 2nd procedure...the flanks, she is still quite bruised , results will only get better over the next few months !!

Acne Scarring

Acne Scarring is a nightmare for those who feel as though their teenage days are long behind them but the scars of teenage acne remain to blight your confidence. So what we at Selston Cosmetic Clinic do to help?

First there are two types of acne scarring .... pigment scars that leaves a purplish brown mark and also an ice pick scar that leaves an indentation in the skin.

Microdermabrasion will definately improve the scarring by removing off a very, very fine layer of skin ,where the superficial acne scar cells are stuck, this will then, after numourous treatments , improve the skin and texture.

Skin peels are designed to penetrate the upper layer of the skin and safely stimulate the lift off of dead skin cells and at the same time regenerate skin renewal , also increasing the collegen, plumping up the skin and thus the scarring improving.

Come and see me so we can discuss your acne scarring problems.

Microdermabrasion... what it can do for you!!

I just wanted to talk about Microdermabrasion and what it can do for all of you out there....

This treatment is one of my favourites, it is a lunch time treatment with no down time and straight back to work , looking alot fresher, with the skin still glowing.

I regularly have Microdermabrasion's myself !!!

What is it you ask?

Well Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin rejuventating technique designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Using fine crystals , like a hoover effect all over the skin. The results are subtle, resulting in a fresher look, reducing those fine lines and also acne scarring. Altogether a brilliant treatment, makes it alot easier to put make-up on, feeling smoother and looking healthier.

Why not try this fab procedure and see what you think .........

The Laser Skin Rejuvenation programme at Selston Cosmetic Clinic

After having performed numerous laser skin rejuvenation treatments with our state of the art Laser system, I thought I would reflect and share my thoughts with you.

Laser skin rejuvenation is a great treatment for everybody regardless of age, however it isn’t cheap, being at the top end of our treatment menu at £149 per treatment, but the rewards are impressive and we pride ourselves on the fact that this is a great price when compared to our competitor clinics.

Because of the budget implications I tend to recommend microdermabrasion or skin peels, priced at around £80 per treatment, whenever possible. However when it comes to people with mature skin, sun damaged skin or who have overdone it on the ‘trusty’ sun beds and at the beach, then laser skin rejuvenation is really the only way to go.

Not that microdemabrasion and skin peels don’t have a place with laser skin rejuvenation, as a matter of fact it can be combined with these treatments and both derma roller therapy (skin needling) and our new plasma-rich protein skin rejuvenation therapy.

In my opinion the skin looks fresher, tighter with an even skin tone and gives that extra special glow!

As Dr Bassi always remarks after seeing my clients on how good their skin looks
“They have a presence when they walk into a room.”

Stay tuned for more information on the up and coming Plasma Rich Protein Skin Rejuvenation therapy!
