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.

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.

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

It's important to keep our lips looking good because they are one of the main focal points of the face. We can keep our lips in great condition all year round, we don't have to wait for a special occasion to pamper them, so if we're not happy with the look of our lips, or the cold weather has left them dry and chapped, we don't have to despair, there are solutions.

Dermal fillers can enhance the lips and the area around the mouth, giving it a more youthful look. If you're worried about dry, chapped lips or maybe you're unhappy with their size or shape, there's expert help available to help you get them back into a beautiful condition. 

The delicate skin on the lips is very susceptible to harsh weather and they need extra care to keep them in peak condition:

• Exfoliate the lips - Removing dead skin from the lips will keep them smooth, making it easier to apply lipstick. To exfoliate, use a soft toothbrush and Vaseline to brush over the lips once a week.
• Dry lips - If you have dead skin on your lips, try not to lick or pick at them. Use lip balm to keep them hydrated, as licking your lips will dry them out more, and picking at any dead skin can lead to bleeding.
• Longer lasting lipstick - Putting a little powder foundation on your lips and then blotting, will help keep the lipstick on your lips for longer. Dust a little translucent powder over your lips, then apply another coat of lipstick.
• Lipstick - If you're going to wear lipstick, make sure you exfoliate your lips as any crust or dead skin on your lips becomes instantly noticeable.

Your lips might be too thin; either through age or genetics, you may have smokers lines around them or maybe they aren't symmetrical; all these things can lower your self-confidence. Lip size and shape can easily be enhanced using dermal fillers; they will add volume, giving a fuller appearance to your lips. Sometimes, just a small amount of filler can make all the difference, and you can get beautiful results, without necessarily adding lots of volume.

Dermal fillers will soften the lines and prevent lipstick bleeds. This treatment enhances the area around the mouth, giving it a more youthful look. The treatment can sometimes make people nervous, as women imagine themselves coming out of the clinic with over inflated lips, putting many women off lip treatments, but if you have your fillers done at a reputable clinic, then this isn't the reality, because a reputable clinic will always discuss your desired outcome at your consultation.

Add Volume & Enhance Your Lips Using Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The lips are an indicator of ageing, as time spent biting or pursing them can lead to thin, deflated lips over time. Lips can say a lot about a person's age, health and character, and after years spent; talking, chewing, pouting, smoking or smiling can all lead to lines and wrinkles gathering around the lips.

Full, plump lips are typically a sign of youthfulness, and it's one of the main reasons that women have their lips cosmetically enhanced, and these days it's very easy to rejuvenate your lips, however old you might be. The lips start losing collagen as a direct result of ageing, and then they start to become thinner. Lip enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure using dermal fillers, which will increase flat, thin lips, add volume and enhance the overall shape.

Important rules for lip filler enhancement:

* Natural looking results - Our lips are always on the go, so when we talk or smile we want it to look natural. For natural looking lips it's best to start with a small amount of filler and gradually add more, if needed. Less is often more, and it's best to have lips that look natural, rather than over-stuffing them.
* Safety - The preferred filler for lips are those which are hyaluronic acid based, because with this filler any side effects are extremely rare. This filler gives lips a natural feel, they are soft, absorbable and reversible if needed.

* Natural feel - If you choose an experienced cosmetic doctor with the right injection technique and then any lumpiness shouldn't occur. 

Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, and they are a very quick and easy way to improve your facial appearance. The fillers typically last between six to nine months and because hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, the risk of any bad reactions to the treatment is very small.

You can enhance these areas of the lips:

• Vermilion border - fillers will give a better outline and they will improve definition and minimise lipstick bleed.
• The upper and lower lip - can have filler injected into it, giving more volume and substance to the lip.
• Cupid bow - defining the cupid bow gives female lips a balance.
• Philtrum ridges - when injected, the filler defines the philtrum ridges, further enhancing the lips.

Lip fillers can give your lips the outline and definition that time has destroyed. Check out our website / Facebook and Instagram and find out about the latest methods of lip enhancements, including what to expect during the procedure.

Erase Lip Lines & Creases with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes it seems that wrinkles show up in all the wrong places. On first meetings, most people focus their attention on the other person's eyes or mouth and unfortunately, those are the exact areas where fine lines and wrinkles first begin to show.

Even while we're young, the signs of ageing will still show in our face a lot sooner than we want, especially around the mouth and lower face area. It's very demoralising to notice the beginnings of lip creases and lip lines, especially when we apply lipstick and we see the colour bleeding into our lip wrinkles, ruining our smile.

Causes of upper lip wrinkles:

• Repeatedly making the same facial expressions
• Pursing the lips
• Smoking
• Excessive sun exposure which can break down collagen and elastin in the skin
• The passage of time breaking down the skin's elasticity

Over time these can cause fine lines to appear around the mouth, and the thinner the skin, the more visible the lines and creases become. After many years, these lines can become permanent indentations on the lips and mouth area.

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker's lines, are those fine lines that start to radiate from the lips as we get older. These vertical lines on the lips are especially problematic for women as the lip lines can also cause lipstick to bleed, which is a major sign of ageing.

Ageing plays a part forming lines on the lips but the good news is, we can do something about it. As we age our lips get thinner and lose their definition and a small amount of dermal filler can make all the difference.

There are many dermal fillers used to correct lip creases and lines, all which plump up the skin and help to create a younger, more youthful looking appearance. Recommended fillers for lip crease correction include:

• Restylane range
• Juvederm Ultra 2
• Teosyal Fine Lines

The dermal fillers are non animal based hyaluronic acid, a substance which is naturally found in the body. The filler acts as padding and when it's injected it fills out the lines and creases beneath the skin.

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the lip area 20 minutes before treatment begins, which numbs the skin. The cosmetic procedure usually only takes about 20-30 minutes. There maybe some swelling after the treatment and perhaps some slight bruising, but the swelling resolves itself within a day or two and any minor bruising can always be covered up with make-up.

Erase Unsightly Wrinkles & Smokers Lines on Your Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Wrinkles always seem to show up in the wrong places. We tend to focus on someones eyes or mouth during a conversation, and unfortunately those are the areas where wrinkles show up first. Even before we start getting old, signs of ageing will show on our face a lot sooner than we'd like, especially around the mouth and lower face.

As we age, lip creases and lip lines will begin to appear as the skin's elasticity starts breaking down, making your lipstick bleed into your lip wrinkles and ruining your smile. When we repeatedly make the same facial expressions, it can cause lip wrinkles to form. Things like pursing the lips, smoking, eating and excessive sun exposure can break down collagen and elastin in the skin, and over time these things can all cause fine lines around the mouth and upper lip.

Lips come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes;

• Full Lips - Full and sensuous, both on the upper and lower lips which are usually symmetrical
• Wide Lips - Wide lips cover a good part of the lower half of the face
• Bow Lips - The highest point of the lips features a double-curve commonly known as a cupid’s bow, which resembles the bow of Cupid, the Roman God of Love
• Round Lips - are small but full, with a heart shape centre top lip

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker’s lines, are those fine lines that start to appear around our lips as we age. These vertical lines on the lips are especially problematic for women, especially when the lip lines cause lipstick to bleed into the lips. Over time, we lose collagen and the skin becomes lax, we also lose fat which contributes to thinning lips, which makes the lip lines and wrinkles more visible. 

Although natural ageing plays a part in forming lip lines, the good news is that we can do something about it. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we've had fantastic results using lip fillers to banish those lip creases and add volume. Dr Bassi is a fully trained cosmetic practitioner in advanced filler techniques, and he tailors every treatment to suit each client. He has performed thousands of injectable dermal lip filler treatments and he has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner.

Unfortunately, not everyone is born with beautiful luscious lips, but if you are looking to improve your pout and erase your lip lines, then lip filler can give you what the gene pool didn't.

A Younger Face with Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It doesn't matter how vigilant we are; we look after our skin, eat healthily, avoid excess alcohol, we don't smoke and we keep our face out of the sun, but eventually we are all going to develop age-related facial lines and wrinkles. 

Botox is the world’s most popular anti-ageing treatment because of its effectiveness at reducing fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. Good candidates for this treatment are those who are in good physical health and want to improve their facial appearance.

How botox can help;

• Frown lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes will lessen, or disappear completely.
• After treatment you'll notice subtle results, which are natural looking.
• Botox is very safe, it's a prescription-only medicine and should only be used in the hands of a skilled professional.
• It promotes a tighter, smoother, more youthful look.
• Botox treatment can also be used as a preventative, to prevent lines deepening as you get older.

Every month, thousands of people have botox injections to help reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines, but there are many more who are hesitant because of rumours and myths associated with botox treatment.

• There are some who think that botox is just a treatment for older people, but anyone who has started to show lines and wrinkles on their face can benefit from botox. The face is one of  the first areas that shows signs of ageing, and it can start to happen at any age, which is why some people have treatment when they are still in their twenties.
• One worry is that botox injections will limit the range of facial expressions. This isn't true. When botox injections get administered by a trained doctor or practitioner, they will only target those muscles that are responsible for the facial wrinkles and lines, and will leave the surrounding tissues undisturbed.
• Some people think that once you start having botox, you'll have to keep on having treatments forever. While it's true that botox is temporary, it can easily be repeated as often as necessary, but people can stop having treatments when they like and their skin will just gradually return to its natural state.

Botox can treat many facial areas and concerns, including;

Crow’s feet: Botox helps to ease the wrinkles at the edges of the eyes, that are usually caused by ageing.

Frown lines: Botox can smooth out these furrows which are mostly caused by repetitive facial movements, and they can make you look tired or a lot older than you are.

Forehead Lines: The skin on the forehead can become smoother, clear of lines and uneven textures with botox injections.

Lip lines: Using a soft approach, botox can erase the smokers lines above the top lip, leaving the area looking natural, but without the lines.

Bunny lines: The wrinkles on both sides of the nose, right below the bridge can easily be treated by relaxing the muscles which bunch the skin. 

Jaw: Botox injections can contour and soften the jaw line and can also help with excessive teeth grinding.

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

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

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

Things you can achieve with lip fillers;

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

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

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

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

Add Volume & Define Your Ageing Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Many women can become concerned about their appearance as they get older, and they can feel really anxious about having thin, undefined lips. The lips are one of the facial features that represent health and vitality, and most women want plump, luscious lips that look young and healthy, but lots of women don't have naturally full lips, and others lose lip volume through ageing.

We can get distressed to notice our lips becoming thinner and losing their definition, but a lip treatment can create fuller lips while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Lip fillers are an easy, quick, affordable and non-invasive treatment which will that give you youthful looking, plump lips and as well as a more defined smile.

Lip fillers can treat many areas of the lips:

• Create definition on the vermilion border
• Improve lipstick bleeding lines
• Add volume to the upper and lower lip to give fullness.
• Add definition to the Cupids bow 

Lip Enhancement treatment

Can improve the lip border, define the cupid bow to give the lips a balance and minimise lipstick bleed around the mouth.

Lip augmentation treatment
Will plump the lips, giving them a fuller appearance, as well as reducing the wrinkles around the mouth.

A lip treatment is ideal for many reasons; adding volume and definition, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, to help prevent lipstick bleeding into the lip wrinkles, as well as making your lips look younger. A lip filler treatment uses injectable filler in the lips to add volume and shape. You can get back youthful looking lips by having specialized lip fillers which are hyaluronic acid based. 

The benefits of lip fillers;

• The hyaluronic acid filler is safe
• Easy, quick treatment
• Non-permanent
• Effective and beautiful results
• Only clinically approved and regulated products used

Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that's found in the body. It attracts water to the skin, plumping it up and giving the skin elasticity and volume. Lip fillers are temporary and last up to eight months. Over time the hyaluronic acid is gradually broken up as the mouth constantly moves for eating, talking and making facial expressions, and it disperses safely into the body.

Lots of people see results within 24 hours of having lip filler injections. Any swelling will go down after a few hours, leaving you with fuller, smoother lips that will last for up to eight months. An anaesthetic cream gets applied to the lips before the treatment and all you will feel is the pinch of a needle. There's no bruising or bleeding and only minimal swelling and you'll be able to return to your normal activities straight away.

Botox Away Your Lines & Wrinkles - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are some people who have great genetics and age really well, not seeming to mind the changes that come with growing older. Other people just want to age gracefully, but unfortunately sometimes it doesn't always happen that way. When we look back at our old photographs, we may notice the changes in the texture and tone of our skin, and when we look in the mirror we might notice that we now have fine lines and wrinkles beginning to show on our face. 

Fine lines and wrinkles start to show up around the eyes, nose, and lips as we reach a certain age, and with time the lines get deeper and the wrinkles multiply. Apart from ageing, we get wrinkles on the skin due to exposure to the sun, smoking, and lots of other reasons. Using the facial muscles to frown, squint, smile or to concentrate can cause wrinkles, and getting wrinkles from active muscle use isn't just for older people, it's common in young adults too.

Over time, we might start to notice our make-up starting to settle in the creases of the face. We'll start to see the crow’s feet and laughter lines deepen and facial lines and wrinkles will make us look tired, but botox can help make us look younger and more rested. Injections of botox are becoming more popular as they offer a non-surgical, less invasive and cheaper alternative to cosmetic surgery.

Before botox treatment the practitioner will look at the face to decide exactly where they will put the botox, to get the best results. Botox blocks the nerve impulses to the tiny muscles of the face, reducing contractions of the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines. Applying a topical anaesthetic cream will minimise any discomfort during treatment.

Botox injections are most effective on:

• Deep lines between the eyes
• Lines and creases on the brow
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Smoker's lines around the mouth

Ageing can get everyone down and seeing signs of ageing on our face can knock our self-confidence. After botox treatment our face will still look the same, the injections simply soften the wrinkles and lines in the treated areas. Botox can improve our confidence and enhance our mood, giving us a younger, fresher looking face and skin that looks healthier and more supple.

Treatments For The Ageing Face & Body - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all worry about growing old, whether it's an expanding waistline, wrinkles on the face, a double chin or a receding hairline. There are many ways that we can slow down the rate at which we age, things like; healthy eating and exercise, choosing the correct skin care products, staying out of the sun and reducing stress.

Growing older is inevitable, but it's not an experience that we should dread. Some things that are consistent with getting older will undoubtedly happen, but luckily, we can have some control on how quickly these things do happen and we can also help ourselves to look younger, for longer. Cosmetic injections and non-invasive procedures can help to keep the years at bay, but we are able to make pleasing and more natural improvements to our face and body, even as we are ageing.

Have a good skin care routine
The face, neck and hands will show the most signs of ageing as they are always on show, facing the hot or cold weather, the wind and rain and the environment. A solid skin care routine will include cleansing, toning and moisturising and a weekly exfoliation.
Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers microdermabrasion treatments to treat blotchy, uneven skin tones, dull lifeless skin and lines and wrinkles, leaving you with smoother skin and impressive and lasting results.

Use sunscreen
Using sun protection is the most important way that we can slow down the effects of ageing. Overexposure to the sun directly leads to premature ageing, and repeated sun exposure won't just give you sunburn - it will damage the skin at the DNA level! Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen 30 minutes before any exposure to the sun, and reapply often. Too much exposure will result in the start of fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, pigmentation and dull skin.
Selston offers chemical peels which can help correct ageing and sun damaged skin.

Wear minimal make-up
Wearing heavy make-up will sit on the skin and bring attention to the skin’s wrinkles and creases, so a light layer of make-up will look less ageing. Less is definitely more!
At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer a permanent make-up treatment, giving you a flawless look without overloading the face with products.

Stop smoking
As well as being extremely bad for your health and costing a fortune, smoking is ruining your skin! As well as giving you a dull complexion, smoking will cause smoker's lines around the lips and mouth.
At Selston, these lip lines can easily be corrected with dermal filler injections.

Healthy eating and exercise
Eating a healthy diet and exercising can help you stay fit and strong and keep your body in good shape. You don't have to go to a gym to exercise; walking, swimming or biking works just as well.
At Selston, vaser lipo is a body contouring treatment, getting rid of the unwanted fat you can't shift through exercising alone.

Stay Hydrated
Water lubricates the joints and helps to flush toxins from the body. Dehydration is a common cause of ageing skin, and drinking the required amount of water, usually about 2 litres of water a day, will help to restore elasticity and plump up the skin, adding a youthful glow.  

So while there are lots of things we can do ourselves to slow down the rate of ageing, there are also many great non-surgical cosmetic treatments that can help.

Non Surgical Liquid Facelift to Refresh & Rejuvenate the Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, the essential structure of our face changes; because of lifestyle, smoking, gravity and general ageing. We produce less collagen and elastin, which are proteins that are essential for elastic, youthful-looking skin, and with less collagen and elastin being produced, this means the skin will eventually start to sag. The loss of facial elasticity and volume can also lead to wrinkles, creases and folds developing.

Wrinkles - frown lines, horizontal forehead furrows and crows’ feet at the eyes. Also the bunny lines on the sides of the nose and the lipstick lines on the upper lip.
Volume loss - this tends to occur in the mid-face around the cheek-bones causing sunken cheeks and hollows beneath eye area.
Folds and creases - lines around the nose to mouth, the naso-labial and marionette lines, the chin and jowl areas. 

A liquid facelift is a temporary treatment which uses injectable dermal fillers, as well as botox, to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face. Known as a non-surgical facelift, it's a cosmetic technique which uses botox; which can help to reduce dynamic wrinkles and dermal fillers for restoring lost volume which will create a more lifted, naturally youthful look.

Botox is a muscle relaxant, and gets injected using a disposable syringe with a very fine needle; small amounts of botox get injected very precisely into different locations on the face, which we decide by carefully examining the movements of the muscles of your face. The injection will temporarily suspend muscle movement in that area, smoothing out forehead furrows, crows' feet and smokers lines on the lips.

While dermal fillers are sometimes known as wrinkle fillers, they do a lot more than just smooth out wrinkles;

• They smooth out the deep marionette lines, or smile lines around nose and mouth
• Restore volume to sunken cheeks
• Fill in the tear trough hollows under the eyes
• Give volume and enhance the lips
• Soften vertical lip lines, or smokers lines
• Smooth out chin creases
• Restore the natural, curved facial contours

A liquid facelift will enhance the natural features of the face, smooth and tighten the skin, and balance out the shape of the face using advanced injectable techniques, with instant, dramatic results. There's no downtime with this procedure, although you might consider taking a few hours to relax, allowing the results to settle and take shape. Any discomfort is temporary and any bruising or swelling is minimal.

Ageing Skin - Why & How It Ages - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As they are always exposed, the face and hands are the first parts of our body to show signs of ageing. Whether they are facing the cold, wind and rain of winter or the heat of the sun in summer, all types of weather can affect the skin. And it's not just the weather; the pollution and car fumes in the towns can also play a part in ageing our skin.

Dermaroller treatment to rejuvenate skin

Lots of things accelerate the ageing process of the skin:

Stress - signs of stress can show up on your skin, hair and nails
Lack of sleep - those who sleep badly have more fine lines, uneven skin colour and slackening of skin.
Sun damage - the sun is responsible for most visible signs of skin ageing. UVA rays emitted by the sun can cause pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity through collagen and elastin breakdown and skin-texture quality.
Smoking - exposure to smoke, and 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.
Pollution and the environment - can cause fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, dehydrated skin, which can leave the skin dry, rough and itchy, and the city dust and dirt clogging up the pores and making the skin look lifeless and dull.

Cheeks, jawline and chin refinement using dermal filler

As a result of normal ageing, one of the main things we notice, is loss of volume. As we age our  facial fat is generally lost, causing the soft tissues to become thinner. Collagen; the dense fibres for strength, and elastin; the elastic fibres for suppleness will become less firm and elastic as we get older, allowing the soft tissue in the face to sag. This results in the face looking thinner and facial bones looking more prominent.

Dermal filler to replace lost volume

• The cheeks - there's less production of collagen and elastin meaning that the 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 appear, and we lose definition resulting in the dreaded lipstick bleed.
• The eyes - upper and lower, begin to sag, creating dark circles and tear troughs.
• Facial thread veins - The blood vessels in ageing thin skin are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing thread veins.
• Age spots - this occurs when the pigment cells in the skin increase in certain areas and cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• The forehead - gains wrinkles and furrows through repetitive facial expression movements, made over time.
• The skin - generalised wrinkling of the face may occur because of thinning ageing skin, and reduced skin cell turnover will result in thinner crepe like skin. More mature skin, also has fewer sweat and oil glands, therefore it is prone to dryness.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer the latest cutting edge, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for anti-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 we've got an experienced and fully trained aesthetic team to help you choose from a variety of treatments, and recommend which treatment is suitable for your concerns.

Dermal Fillers To Create Natural Looking Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our face loses volume as we get older, and this is especially noticeable in the lips. The older we get, the more our lips gradually become thinner and flatter and they might develop fine vertical lines on, and around the lip area. The lips are a central focal point on our face, and having them look attractive is important for most of us, and if they lack volume or they aren't symmetrical, it can really affect our confidence.

The lips are an important part of facial beauty for women young and old, and for many, lipstick draws attention on a daily basis to the natural shape and symmetry of their lips. It’s now very easy to improve the size, shape and symmetry of your lips with injectable dermal fillers, and these are easily available in cosmetic clinics, where you can get fuller lips, and reduce the fine lines around the mouth, making our faces look more youthful.

Lip fillers enhance the lips contours and add volume to give 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, keep the lips feeling soft and natural and giving them a more youthful look.

They can:

• Create a fuller upper and lower lip
• Reduce fine lines around the mouth
• Lift the corners of the mouth
• Erase smokers’ lines
• Will enhance the shape and definition of the lips
• Even out unbalanced lips

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure to give your lips a fuller, plumper appearance, and the dermal fillers 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 half of the top lip doesn't match the other half, making the lips to look at though they are sloping sideways.

We make the procedure as painless as possible and the fillers also contain a local anaesthetic. A topical anaesthetic gets applied 20 minutes before the procedure, and as this numbs the lips, it makes the treatment is more comfortable. Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid which is a substance that's found naturally in the body, and the results typically last 4-6 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.

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

If you feel conscious that your lips have become thinner or that they disappear when you smile, then a lip augmentation might be the answer. It's a great treatment for those with thin lips or those who think having full lips will help to balance their face. Dermal filler injected into the lips will help them to look fuller by increasing the volume, which will make them look bigger and plumper.

Lip augmentation will :

• Increase lip volume
• Achieve a symmetrical look
• Enhance lip contours
• Improve the lip outline and definition
• Reduce lines and wrinkles from around the mouth

Lip augmentation is one of the most popular treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. It works to smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area and to shape and add volume to the lips, all helping to create the perfect overall look to enhance your facial features.

Wrinkles
Lips can become crepey and covered in fine lines. A lip filler injection to the upper and lower lips will boost hydration levels. This will hydrate the lips as well as smoothing the wrinkles.

Mouth and lip lines
Women have a problem with vertical lines around the mouth which cause lipstick bleeds and these are usually caused by genetics, smoking or sun exposure. With dermal filler we can soften these lines, leaving the area around the mouth enhanced, giving it a more youthful look.

Undefined lips
Lip filler added to the vermilion border, will give an outline, improve definition and minimize lip bleed.

Thin lips
Some of us are born with naturally thin lips or they lose volume as we age. A non-permanent filler made from hyaluronic acid can boost the lip area. Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient which gets broken down by the body over time, and can also be dissolved if you don't like the results.

Shape
The older we get, the more chance that the edge of the lips will become less defined. Over time, the collagen and elastin breaks down and the lips lose their pouting shape, and lines begin to develop around the lips.

It’s a fast procedure with almost no downtime. Any side effects such as swelling, bruising or redness are temporary and resolve within a few days and any lumpiness can easily be gently massaged out and will settle within a couple of days. After lip filler treatment, keep your lips moisturised and use a moisturising sun block.

The thought of having dermal fillers in the lips can sometimes make people nervous, with visions of ending up with massively inflated lips, but this isn't the reality. A reputable clinic will always discuss what you do, and what you don't want at your consultation. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi, is our fully trained, very experienced, specialist cosmetic Doctor with over 10 years experience in injectable treatments. His ultimate aim is that all of his clients look and feel their very best.

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
• They provide natural looking results with just one treatment
• Lip Injections allow you to correct unbalanced or uneven lips

The nice thing about lip fillers is how quickly you will notice the difference, the results are almost immediate. Following the injections, you may have some 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 to be repeated.

Whether the aim is to restore lost-volume from the ageing process or to augment the lips for cosmetic reasons, Dr Bassi will use his skill and experience to advise what will best suit your face.
