Rejuvenate Your Face with a Vampire Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin looks is often the biggest indicator to show how we're ageing. As well as acquiring fine lines, as we get older, the skin can take on a grey tone making the face look tired, and too much sun exposure and acne scars can make the skin look worn. As we age, our skin will lose its youth glow because the blood supply to our face diminishes, causing our skin to lose its colour, making it look dull. 

Treatment areas for PRP

Over time the skin's texture becomes less smooth, the delicate skin beneath the eyes becomes thinner and we often gain fine lines and wrinkles. Platelet rich Plasma Therapy, (PRP) also called a vampire facelift is a treatment which uses the natural ingredients of your blood to rejuvenate tired and ageing skin.

Non-surgical vampire facelift treatment is ideal for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Signs of ageing on the hands
• Minimising lines around the mouth
• Smoothing wrinkles across the nose
• Softening wrinkles and frown lines
• Dull skin due to less blood flow
• Smooth and uneven skin texture
• Tighten sagging or loose skin
• Reducing acne scarring

PRP is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses the growth factors in your blood to improve the texture and tone of your skin. During the treatment a small amount of blood gets extracted and is then treated in a centrifuge to harvest the platelet rich plasma. It's then re-injected into the required treatment area, where it will stimulate new collagen formation, restoring volume to the skin, filling out fine lines and wrinkles, and encouraging the body to repair the ageing skin from the inside out.

Benefits of skin rejuvenation with PRP:

• Overall rejuvenation for the skin
• Any allergic reaction is minimal, as PRP is a natural cosmetic treatment derived from your own body
• It's highly recommended because of its natural elements
• It gives dull, dry and loose skin new life by stimulating collagen formation and elastin
• Results from a PRP treatment are long-lasting and can last for up to two years

A vampire facelift is great skin rejuvenating option because as the blood is the patient's own, so there aren't any foreign materials injected and this lowers any risk of allergies and infections. This procedure has a fast healing time and you'll only experience minimal bruising and slight swelling.

This treatment can promote skin rejuvenation especially around the eyes, reducing the lines and wrinkles. It's ideal for the hands, which often show signs of ageing sooner than other areas of the body, and on the neck and chest. The treatment simply helps rejuvenate the skin, restoring volume and collagen formation.

Reduce Facial Lines & Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days most women are taking better care of their skin than ever before, and the only thing giving away their age are the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, resulting from sun damage, genetics or the simple passage of time. Every facial expression we make will make an impression on our skin, and as the skin around the eyes is so delicate, the constant movement means the overlying skin is repeatedly stretched and folded and eventually the lines will become permanent.

Our skin radiates light when we're young, but as we get older it accumulates damage, becomes dull and starts showing fine lines. Constant use of facial muscles when smiling, frowning and talking, as well as changes in your skin with age, will inevitably lead to the start of wrinkles which then get ingrained on your face.

Contraction of the underlying muscles on the face will cause the overlying skin to contort repeatedly, forming furrows and wrinkles on the skin. Fortunately this can easily be treated non-surgically with Botox, which can treat facial lines and wrinkles in a subtle and natural way, helping to restore the glow to our skin and youthfulness back on our face.

We use Botox for:

• Smoothing wrinkles and folds
• Forehead worry lines
• Between the brows frown lines
• Crows feet at the sides of the eyes
• Vertical lines around the lips
• Dimpling of the chin

Static wrinkles are lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed, staying there after you’ve finished making a facial expression. These lines aren't the best candidates for Botox treatment, as injections can soften these lines but not always get rid of them. Botox treatments are best for dynamic wrinkles which appear with facial expressions such as frowning. Facial wrinkles and lines can easily be softened without changing your overall appearance, resulting in a more relaxed, rested and rejuvenated appearance.

If you are considering having treatment, it's essential to choose a fully trained, qualified practitioner to inject the Botox into your face. A good practitioner is someone who has a good knowledge of facial anatomy and has performed facial aesthetics for several years. A face to face consultation is essential, so they can answer any questions while taking note of your aesthetic concerns, preferences and your desired results. The practitioner will also discuss the risks, which can include allergic reactions, bruising and minimal swelling.

Freshen Your Skin With Microdermabrasion & Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The harsh winter winds, freezing rain and lack of sunshine can affect your skin condition, making your complexion look dull and lifeless. The end of winter is an ideal time to spring-clean your cosmetics and skin care products. There are a great number of creams, lotions and serums for the skin, and it's important to reassess your products and adapt your facial routines to suit the season we are in.

There are some things you can do to make your skin look it's best, and sorting out your facial products is a start. Firstly, you should decide which cosmetic items you no longer want or use and throw them away. Check out the expiry date on all of your creams and lotions, as any that are old or past their sell by date could actually be harbouring harmful bacteria, which can lead to clogged pores and dull skin. All skin care products have a certain shelf life, so if you don't use them, get rid of them. Accessories can also store unwanted germs and viruses, so you should ideally wash your make-up brushes weekly with hand soap, using a hair-dryer to dry them out.

Daily skin care products you wear in the winter months are thicker and heavier than you use in the warmer months, because in spring and summer you tend to use moisturisers and creams that are lighter in texture. You should also change the type of products you use, as what worked for your skin in your twenties, won't necessarily work as well for more mature skin as you get older.

To stimulate cell turnover, to get rid of dead skin cells and to make your skin smoother and healthier so it's ready to absorb your moisturiser and face creams, you should exfoliate your skin two to three times a week. A deep exfoliation treatment will strip away dull, tired skin, revealing the new fresh skin underneath. Removing the outer skin cells which are dead and damaged, will show the new skin, just in time for spring.

If you feel that your skin is looking dull and tired, a visit to a skin care professional for a deep cleansing facial treatment will revitalise your skin and brighten up your complexion. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments will strip back the skin's dead layers, targeting sun-damaged skin, blocked pores and fine lines, getting your skin ready for creams and lotions to penetrate deeper, as well as giving your skin a revitalising treatment, and leaving you looking rejuvenated.

Improve The Complexion With Skin Needling Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Even with great genes and a naturally young-looking face, ageing is inevitable. We can either simply embrace our age and how we look, or we might prefer to find an alternative way to revitalise our ageing skin, without turning to invasive cosmetic surgery.

Sometimes when we look closely in the mirror, we might feel that our face is starting to look a bit tired. If we begin feeling self-conscious about the acne scars on our skin, or maybe sun-damaged skin makes us feel we look older than we are, then skin needling is a treatment which will stimulate skin renewal, helping to freshen the skin, make it firmer and look younger.

The skin needling instrument rolls across the skin, puncturing the outermost layers of the skin to create tiny pin prick injuries which are not visible to the naked eye. This stimulates new collagen deposition and regenerates new, healthy skin cells. The wounds will close within an hour.

It's a safe and precise cosmetic procedure, and it's one of the few cosmetic treatments that's suitable for treating all skin types, including ethnic skin. The treatment is less invasive than other skin treatments, and doesn't need the removal of the epidermis, and this results in a much shorter healing time.

Skin needling, also known as dermaroller therapy, activates production of new collagen and fibroblast formation, which helps to reduce lines and wrinkles and can improve the texture of the skin. The skin's natural healing process helps to restore a smoother, clearer complexion and it can also help improve many types of scarring.

Skin needling can help to enhance many facial imperfections. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and mild acne and chicken pox scars. The treatment can correct damage from the sun and lighten pigmentation marks and is great for skin that lacks firmness and elasticity. Skin needling can also rectify pregnancy and weight-loss stretch marks and cellulite.

* The procedure time takes up to seventy-five minutes
* We can apply topical anaesthetic cream, if you need it
* Downtime is between one and five days
* The best results are noticeable after two to three months
* The results will last from nine to twelve months
* You'll need a course of four to six treatments

Skin needling has many benefits, it stimulates collagen and elastin and can repair, rejuvenate and plump up the skin. The treatment can create smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin, and since the needling treatment does not remove layers of skin with chemicals or lasers, it's generally safe for all skin types, even darker skin.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Profhilo is a new rejuvenating injectable treatment that's taking the cosmetic world by storm. It's an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing. Profhilo 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. It works by spreading into the skin tissue to improve elasticity, creating a lifting and tightening effect while at the same time improving the skin's appearance.

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not change the facial structure. We inject Profhilo into the superficial subcutaneous layer of skin in certain places and it disperses within twenty-four hours. These injections restore hydration and increase collagen production to give a youthfulness that no other injectable treatment can.

We use Profhilo to treat skin laxity and improve skin quality and the most popular areas that we treat are the face, neck, hands and décolleté. It's used to treat skin laxity and skin quality almost anywhere, and clients report an overall improvement in skin hydration, brightness, smoothness and firmness.

Profhilo doesn’t augment facial features as dermal fillers do, instead it improves the skin's quality through hydration, tone, texture, and lifting. It's a suitable treatment for skin that's thinning, tired, ageing and looking dull and dehydrated, as it will improve your overall skin’s laxity and bounce. Profhilo is ideal for those who need more than high-end skin care but aren’t quite ready for dermal fillers. It won’t change the way you look, or stop any facial expressions or movement, it will simply give you a healthy glow.

Before any treatment you'll have consultation and a visual assessment of your skin, and our cosmetic doctor will talk to you about your needs, hopes and expectations. This will give us a better understanding of which treatment you need and which places to inject to give you the best outcome, giving you a bespoke treatment plan that's entirely tailored to you.

The treatment might cause some discomfort but a topical anaesthetic cream application will numb the area. We inject Profhilo into five injection points on each side of the face, and the most sensitive places are around the lips and eyes as the skin is thinner and more sensitive in these areas. The treatment takes about thirty minutes and afterwards there’s a risk of bumps at the injection points and maybe some slight bruising as well, but this won't last very long.

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
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve the skin's quality
• Hydrate the skin
• Brighten the complexion
• Tighten skin
• 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.

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

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

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

Enhanced laser skin rejuvenation treatment will:

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

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

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

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

The benefits:

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

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

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.

Rejuvenate & Brighten the Skin with Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes, when we look at our skin, all we notice are the fine lines, wrinkles, sun damaged and uneven skin tone, we might have blackheads and white heads, or maybe we have acne prone skin or superficial age spots. Medical microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment, if you want to improve the look of any of these symptoms.

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin rejuvenating technique, designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It works on fine wrinkles by evening out the skin texture through abrasion of the top layer of the skin. The results are subtle, resulting in a fresher look, reducing the fine lines and acne scarring. This is a fantastic treatment which will leave the skin feeling smoother and looking healthier, making it a lot easier for us to apply make-up.

Microdermabrasion treatment improves:

• Blotchy, uneven skin tones.
• Dull lifeless skin.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Sun damaged skin/age spots.
• Enlarged pores/blemishes.
• Acne scarring.
• Blackheads and white heads.

Microdermabrasion doesn't use any lasers or chemicals. The treatment involves passing a fine collection of medical grade crystals over the skin's surface, using a hand-held device. The micro-crystals, which are hard enough to disrupt the unwanted, tired skin cells that cause dull looking skin, but small enough not to do any damage or cause pain or discomfort. The micro-crystals propel across the skin's surface, removing just the top layer of skin cells, revealing new living cells and leaving behind a healthy glow. Treatment leaves the skins epidermal layers rejuvenated, leading to collagen production and plumper skin.

You should avoid microdermabrasion treatment if you have eczema, as it could worsen the condition. Sufferers of rosacea should also avoid this treatment as the exfoliation process also worsens the redness, itchiness and flaking symptoms.

At your first consultation you'll be advised on the number of treatments you will need. The whole procedure is usually complete within 20 minutes and the results are instantly visible. Some treatments may take longer, depending on the skin's condition and the overall required results. It's recommended that you take a course of treatments for long-lasting, overall improved skin appearance.

The treatment's been used to treat millions of clients over the last decade, achieving fantastic results. The procedure is safe and painless and there are no side effects. Microdermabrasion machines offer state of the art treatments, from mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, and this translates into more impressive and lasting results to you. It will improve, refresh and rejuvenate your skin.

Define Your Profile & Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Getting older will happen to us all, and the worst part is looking in the mirror and noticing the way our face is changing. We might see our face beginning to sag, bags appear under the eyes, we might notice the start of jowls and the lack of definition at the jaw line. Sometimes it's almost enough to make us avoid looking in the mirror because we're so self-conscious of our faults.

There comes a time when we reach a certain age, and we start to notice our facial profile has suddenly become a little blurry. The strong definition of our features aren't as sharp as they were, and we lose volume in various areas of our face; under the eyes will become hollow, the fat pads in our cheekbones will diminish making the face look gaunt, we can develop nose to mouth lines giving us jowls, and the skin's elasticity loosens leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

There are some treatment options that we can have to rectify this;

Face lift - we can have a full cosmetic face lift. This however is a painful and costly experience which needs good deal of down time. These days lots women, and men, prefer non-invasive procedures that need less recovery time and less self-care after the treatment.

Dermal Fillers - these can add volume to fill in hollows under the eyes, give the skin a gentle lift, creating higher cheekbones or injected along the jaw line to give definition. Injectable treatments have always been a good option for those not wanting a surgical procedure. Dermal fillers give great results and you can return to work the next day with no-one knowing you've had any treatment, they will just be curious to know how you look so fresh and rejuvenated.

PDO threads lifts- at Selston Cosmetic Clinic we've performed PDO thread lift treatment for a few years now and they can make a massive difference. We can use PDO's as a stand alone treatment or use it together with botox and dermal fillers to get a fantastic result.

The PDO threads we use for this treatment are the same ones used in open heart surgery and over the months they will gradually dissolve. All the time the threads remain under the skin, they cause collagen to form by stimulating the fibroblasts, and this also improves skin tone and radiance. Before treatment, local anaesthetic is given which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections. We place the threads under the skin, and they lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration. The procedure takes less than an hour and the results last between 12-18 months. PDO thread lifts are essentially a face lift without the surgery. There are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places.

Areas suitable for PDO threads;

• Horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles
• Sagging eyebrows
• Bags under the eyes
• Cheeks
• Naso-labial folds
• Marionette lines
• Jaw line
• Creased cheeks

The procedure is almost painless with only a small amount of downtime. You might experience the odd bruise, but these are easily covered with light make-up. If you want to redefine your face, but you don’t want invasive surgery, then PDO thread lift treatment is an ideal solution.

Look Younger For Longer with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of people embrace their age and are happy moving into mid-life in pretty good shape, but for those who aren't as happy, there are things we can do for ourselves and our appearance, which will help us to stay looking younger, for longer.

Once we reach a certain age, there are ways that our hair can age us. Our skin tone changes as we get older and hair that's bleached too light, or dyed extremely dark can make our face look drawn or washed out. Finding a colour that suits your skin tone and getting highlights or lowlights added will lift your face and brighten your skin. We shouldn't choose hairstyles because they are the latest trend, but rather we should choose them to flatter our face. A face with a loss of collagen in the cheeks, will give the face thinner look, and a hairstyle with softness and volume will be more flattering.

The make-up we wear should change as we get older, as the cosmetics we wear in our twenties, won't work as well when we are over forty. Older women can still wear all the things they have always worn, eye shadow, eye liner, blusher and lipstick, but to avoid looking hard, or harsh, they should choose colours that are lighter and apply it subtly. Instead of eye shadows with a sparkle and sheen, try using eye shadows in matte and softer lipstick and lip gloss.

Clothes are a great way to express ourselves, but don’t follow a trend unless it suits the shape of your body. Always wear clothes that accentuate the best aspects of your body. Buy clothes with colours that suit your skin tone, as choosing the wrong colour can make your skin look dull, while the right colours can make you look vibrant.

Eventually we'll all notice our face is starting to get lines and wrinkles. Lines are usually small and fine, appearing because of repeated muscle movement such as smiling, frowning, smoking and squinting. Lines normally appear underneath and around the eyes, on the lips, in between eyebrows and on the cheeks. Wrinkles on the other hand are static and are more dramatic than lines, and they're located anywhere on the face, neck, chest arms or body, remaining on the skin as visible folds and creases, even when the muscle is relaxed.

Treat your skin well and it look better for longer. If you really want to look tanned - use fake tan. The sun is the absolute worse thing for the skin, not only for ageing the skin and causing wrinkles but also because of the risk of skin cancer. Most of us feel we look better with a tan, so if you are out and about in the sunshine, make sure you use a high factor sun screen.

If you want a bit of extra help to feel youthful and look radiant , then botox injections can really give your face a boost. Easing lines and wrinkles will make the face look relaxed and refreshed. Botox is the best anti-wrinkle treatment available, that takes only minutes to inject, and can take away years from your face.

Restore Facial Volume & Reduce Wrinkles With A Liquid Face Lift Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days there are so many treatments available to rejuvenate the skin, it's hard to know which one is the best for you. As the years pass by, we start to notice all the new visible signs of ageing as they start to show on the face. The skin loses collagen and elasticity and will start sagging, which will cause us to get jowls. We can also lose facial volume, making the cheeks and temples look flat and hollow, and the lips can become thinner and less defined. Wrinkles and fine lines will also, sooner or later, make their presence felt.

The liquid face lift can address the signs of ageing without the need for any surgical intervention and it's an effective alternative to a traditional face lift. This particular treatment can help men and women look refreshed, without having surgery or getting any scars. It's a fast treatment that's minimally invasive, has long-lasting results and a short recovery time.

The liquid face lift has made an impact in anti-ageing treatments during the past few years, and it helps to correct the upper, mid and lower areas of the face, giving us a refreshed appearance that's subtle and entirely natural-looking. The liquid face lift procedure uses injectable treatments; precisely placed dermal fillers to help increase the volume and shape of your face and botox to ease the wrinkles, folds and creases also helping to prevent more lines and wrinkles forming.

Botox
The botox injections will freshen up the face, softening lines and wrinkles, eliminating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows. Precisely placed, botox can also give you an eye lift and lift the corners of the mouth.

Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers will add volume; to fill out the cheeks, boost the lips and create a softly contoured, younger looking face. Some of the most ageing lines and creases on the face are in the area between the nose and mouth, and these can leave your face looking tired and aged, but they can easily be corrected with fillers.

By using dermal filler and botox injections, it's now possible for a skilled cosmetic doctor to help you look younger in a short amount of time. These treatments will help to restore the skin and facial contours back to their former youthful appearance, and afterwards you'll not only appreciate your reflection in the mirror, but you'll also get a boost in your self-confidence.

These days there are more options than ever for making ourselves looking younger. If you want to reduce wrinkles, restore facial fullness and rejuvenate your skin without having a surgical procedure, then a non-surgical liquid face lift is an ideal alternative, which involves no surgery and no scars.

Improve The Look & Texture of Your Face with Chemical Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Even when your facial features and face shape are perfect, having dull skin can take away any confidence you have about your looks. When we're young, the skin regenerates itself monthly, and as we shed the old, dead cells, we find new, vibrant cells just below the surface, waiting to take their place. The skin renews itself more slowly as we get older, but a chemical peel treatment will speed up the renewing process. 

Chemical peels will remove the dead skin, and any imperfections will eventually disappear. Peels can easily be used to treat a number of problems, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, mild acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation and tired, dull looking skin. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we have experienced, fully trained practitioners who will talk you through the skin peel treatment and explain how they will help your particular skin condition.

We get dull skin through ageing, exposure to UV light from the sun, smoking, environmental dirt, dust and toxins, poor skin care and even from genetics. As we age, our face can gain fine lines, open pores, dehydrated skin and a coarse texture, which will all leave us with a dull complexion. Even the most pampered skin can end up looking blemished and old through sun damage, and although we know the damage the sun can cause our skin, many of us still go outside without wearing any skin protection. 

Chemical peels are a chemical solution which cause the top layers of the skin to peel away, and they are usually performed in a cosmetic clinic by a specially trained practitioner or nurse. The peels penetrate into the dermis of your skin, stimulating the fibroblasts deep within the skin, producing new collagen and elastin. They increase the skin cell turnover, which results in improved skin texture and skin tone, making your face look fresher, smoother and more youthful.

Chemical peel can help to;

• Remove age or sun spots, blotches, or pigmentation
• Smooth fine lines & wrinkles on the skin’s surface
• Reduce or remove mild acne scars
• Tighten & tone the skin and improve the texture
• Brighten the complexion

After the treatment;

• Apply face cream to keep the skin supple
• Don't scratch the treated skin as it could cause infection
• Avoid using sun beds until your skin completely heals
• Wear sunscreen every day after treatment to keep up the results

Chemical peels are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments used to keep the skin looking young and vibrant, and they are ideal treatments which can easily be combined with other facial procedures.

Rejuventate Your Face With Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Facial wrinkles and frown lines can make you look and feel older than you are, and the deepening lines between your eyebrows and at the corners of your eyes can make you seem angry or sad. If you would like to look refreshed and have more self-confidence, then botox injections can make your face look and feel more refreshed and rejuvenated.

Lines that settle on the face are often called expression lines, and they develop over time as we age. We express ourselves by laughing, smiling, squinting, frowning and even talking, causing the fine lines around eyes and forehead to deepen. Smoking, stress and sun exposure will also make the wrinkles etch deeper into the skin. Botox is a safe, fast and simple solution for reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox injections are one of the most popular performed non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The results of botox treatment last between three and four months, then they gradually start to fade, but if you have repeated treatment, the results might last longer.

Botox benefits include:

Softer, smoother looking skin
Relaxes frown and stress lines
Reduces lines around the lips
Opens up the eyes
Will give you a refreshed appearance
Eliminates crow’s feet around the eyes
Safe, quick, injectable treatment
Proven results
No recovery time

Botox treatment is usually painless, but some clients might experience minimal discomfort. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can minimise any potential discomfort by applying a topical anaesthetic before your treatment, and we try to keep the botox injection gentle and pain-free. Our trained team will put you at ease and give you support throughout the experience.

A very fine needle injects a tiny amount of botox into the facial muscles where you want to erase wrinkles and fine lines. The injections are quick and you might experience a small pin prick feeling and it might be necessary to have multiple injections, depending on the depth of the facial lines. You can drive yourself to and from your clinic appointment and immediately following botox treatment you can return to your regular activities.

You will usually see the effects of your botox treatment within a few days, and you’ll see more improvement after two weeks when your muscles will be inactive. Your skin will soften and the fine lines and wrinkles will become less visible, giving your face a firmer, more youthful appearance. We use subtly administered botox treatment to control how we look when we age, but this treatment isn't about making you look younger, but more about making you look fresher and rejuvenated.

Regain Your Youthful Face with a Vampire Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, our skin loses the glow of youth as the blood supply to our face diminishes, making our skin lose its colour and makes it appear dull. The texture of the skin becomes less smooth, the delicate skin beneath the eyes becomes thinner and we get fine lines and wrinkles. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, (PRP) also called a vampire facelift is a treatment which uses the natural ingredients of your blood, to rejuvenate tired ageing skin.

Non-surgical vampire facelift treatment is ideal for enhancing;

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area
• Minimising lines around the mouth
• Smoothing wrinkles across the nose
• Ageing on the hands
• Softening wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead
• Addressing minor smile lines
• Dull skin due to less blood flow.
• Smooth and uneven texture
• Tighten sagging or loose skin
• Acne scarring

During the treatment a small amount of blood gets extracted, and treated in a centrifuge to harvest the platelet rich plasma. Then it's re-injected into the required area to stimulate fresh collagen production and elastin. This will plump up the skin, fill out fine lines and wrinkles, and give a more radiant appearance encouraging the body to repair the ageing skin from the inside out.

The injected platelet rich plasma stimulates new collagen formation, which will rejuvenate your skin, making it look fresher and more vibrant. We use very fine needles to inject small amounts of PRP into your skin, and these injections are quite painless, as a topical anaesthetic gets applied beforehand, which minimises any discomfort. The results can last for up to 18 months and it's recommended you have a touch up treatment around this time. This is a safe treatment as you are using your own blood, so it's completely non-toxic and hypoallergenic.

A vampire facelift is great skin rejuvenating procedure option. As the blood is the patient’s own, there aren't any foreign materials injected which lowers any risk of allergies and infections. This procedure has a fast healing time and you'll only experience minimal bruising and slight swelling.

This treatment can promote skin rejuvenation on the facial area, especially around the eyes, lessening the wrinkles. It's ideal for the hands, which often show signs of ageing sooner than other areas of the body, and on the neck and chest. The procedure simply helps rejuvenate the skin, restoring volume and collagen formation.

Get Your Skin Ready For Spring With Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The winter months can affect your skin, and the cold wind, driving rain and lack of sun can make your skin look dull, old and lifeless. But, with better weather just around the corner, we really need to get our skin ready so we can say goodbye to winter, and hello to spring. To prepare for the warmer weather ahead, there are some basic things that you can do to make sure you'll look your best, and now is the best time freshen up your skin and revive your complexion.
 
Lots of us neglect to consider what effects the change in season has on our skin. So while we're waiting for the sunshine, it's a great time to spring-clean not only your beauty bags, but also your skin care products and routines.

Before and after microdermabrasion treatment

Clean up and clear out
First of all, get out all of your bottles, tubes and jars and go through them one by one. Any creams or serums that you no longer use, or if you've tried them but you don't really like them - throw them out! If they're past their best, then they could easily be harbouring harmful bacteria, which can lead to clogged pores and dull skin. Skin care products will eventually expire, so if you don't use it - lose it!

You should also review your daily skin care products. In the spring and summer we tend to use moisturisers and serums that are lighter in texture, than those that we wear in the winter months. Lots of us tend to buy the same things every year, but what worked for your face in your 20's, won't necessarily work for you in your 30's or 40's.

There are a great number of skin products in the shops, and finding the right skin care for your skin can prove overwhelming. Do you need to revitalise your skin, or need deep moisture penetration, or maybe an uplift? Find out what suits your skin, and buy the appropriate creams and lotions.

We should also remember our makeup brushes, because if they aren't regularly cleaned, they can store unwanted germs and viruses. You should ideally wash your brushes weekly with hand soap and dry them out with a hair-dryer.

Microdermabrasion treatment

Exfoliate
Exfoliating your skin gets rid of the dead skin cells, which helps to stimulate cell turnover, making your skin smoother, healthier and ready to absorb your moisturiser and serums. Spring is not the time for harsh facial scrubs, when spring arrives it's time for a gentle exfoliation routine and you might want to change from a strong mechanical scrub to a kinder, softer cleansing cloth.

Remember the lip balm
Once we leave the winter behind us and we change our skin care routine to suit the kinder months, we must remember to keep using lip balm. Maybe change the thicker winter balm for a lighter one, but hydration for the lips is essential. Stop using it, and you might end up with dry, chapped lips that will take longer to repair than to prevent.

Chemical peel treatment

Have a face treatment
If, after the cold winter months, you feel that your skin is looking dull and tired, visit a professional and get a deep cleansing facial treatment. A deep exfoliation will help strip away your dull, tired skin, revealing the fresh skin underneath. Removing the outer skin cells which are dead and damaged will reveal the new skin just in time for spring. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion will strip back the skin's dead layers, targeting sun-damaged skin, blocked pores and fine lines, getting your skin ready for your serums, creams and lotions to penetrate deeper, as well as giving your skin a revitalising treatment, and leaving you looking rejuvenated.
