Botox For Subtle Anti-Ageing Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we mature, wrinkles and lines might start to appear around the forehead, creating frown lines between the brows which can make us look overly serious or angry. These signs of ageing can easily be treated with injections of botox, which is a reputable cosmetic procedure which visibly reduces lines and wrinkles or removes them completely. Botox injections are a fast cosmetic treatment where the results begin to show after a few days and gradually improve within two weeks.

It's advisable that you get botox, or any other injectable treatments done by qualified health care professionals, such as doctors, dentists or nurses, as they have had the correct training and use only reputable and safe products. Do your research and check out where you're having your botox procedure, whether that's checking it out online, on Internet forums or by word of mouth.

• Botox has lots of benefits:

• Speed - Botox treatment usually takes around ten to twenty minutes and the results might be noticeable immediately after the treatment, although it will take a couple of days to settle down and improve.
• Price - The cost of botox is less expensive than plastic surgery treatments which cost considerably more.
• Minimally invasive - Botox injections are less invasive than other anti-ageing treatments such as face lifts or brow lifts.
• Minimal side effects - Side effects associated with botox such as redness, itching or bruising occur very occasionally, but these are temporary.

Facial expressions that repeatedly use the same muscles, will eventually leave crows feet, frown lines and forehead creases upon the skin. Botox injections will temporarily weaken the muscles that help to create your facial expressions, and lessening this muscle activity will not only soften the fine lines and wrinkles, but it will also affect the expressions you use on your face. It's a temporary treatment lasting around four months and will need regular top-up injections to keep up the results.

Botox is an ideal treatment for those who want subtle, non-surgical, anti-ageing treatments. After applying a topical aesthetic to the skin to make sure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, the botox is then administered into the specific targeted areas, reducing lines and the halting further wrinkles from beginning.

The results of botox should look subtle, and a fully trained practitioner will carefully administer, technically precise injections to give you a fresh and healthy appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. This results in a naturally smooth and healthy face, free from wrinkles. The effects after a botox treatment are not completely immediate, it starts to work within days, with the greatest effect seen around two weeks later.

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

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

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

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

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

Problems we get on the skin include:

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

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

Hold Back Facial Ageing With Chemical Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't change the natural ageing process, but there are things we can do to influence just how it ages. Although it's our genes that mostly control these changes and when they occur, there are lots of other things that make the face look older over time; our skin getting thinner and drier, loss of volume in the face and visible lines and wrinkles appearing on the face.

Nobody wants to look any older, however our skin faces many challenges as we age, things like; sun exposure, harsh weather and lazy cleansing habits, but there are steps we can take to help our skin stay supple and fresh-looking.

* Cleansers - using strong cleansers can strip essential moisture from the skin, causing dead skin to build up.

* Eye wrinkles - use eye creams to keep the eyes hydrated and nourished, which can help to prevent ageing eye wrinkles.

* Healthy skin - regular facials, exfoliating, face scrubs and chemical peels can all help to remove dry, dead skin cells, allowing new fresh skin to replace it.

Taking care of your skin from an early age can make a world of difference in how wrinkles form on your face later on. We can't go back in time and change the way we've treated our skin, however, there are some things we can do that will keep your complexion looking radiant and make you feel more youthful.

• Sun screen - The main cause of skin ageing is exposure to the sun. Using sunscreen every single day and not just when the sun is shining is the best way to prevent this.
• Don't smoke - Smoking causes damage to collagen and elastin, and when collagen in the face becomes less elastic it allows the soft tissue features of the face to sag.
• Exfoliate - This will remove the dead skin cells, and you can either exfoliate manually, use a facial scrub or have a chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment at a cosmetic clinic or beauty salon.

Exfoliating the skin using medical chemical peels, helps to increase the skin cell turnover, shedding dead skin cells and pushing newer ones to form. The peels penetrate into the dermis of the skin and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and youthful appearance.

Chemical peels are 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 youthful glow.

Slow Down Facial Ageing With Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The signs of ageing can get you down, and seeing lines and wrinkles can knock your confidence and make you feel insecure when we start looking older. So if you're beginning to see an increase in wrinkles, or you're noticing fine lines on your face, or maybe you feel you just don't look as youthful and bright as you used to, then botox might be the answer to help reducing or eliminating those ageing wrinkles. 

Botox Treatment Before and After

Botox injections are one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments on the market, thanks to its safety and effectiveness. But we must always remember that despite Botox's popularity and its increasing use, the treatment is still a medical procedure, and only a fully trained and highly experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner should carry out this treatment.

Botox treatment can also be used for:

• Over active frown
• Crows feet, fine lines and wrinkles
• Correcting lines from repeated facial expression and worry lines
• An eye lift
• Correcting uneven eyebrows
• Tightening the jaw line
• Correcting the downward corners at each side of the lips
• Treating migraines
• Treating hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating)

Always choose a highly trained cosmetic practitioner to inject your botox treatment, as they will have performed lots of botox treatments, have a large client base and will have lots of before and after photo's, and they will have reviews and recommendations of their work that you can look at.

At your consultation you will discuss what requirements you have, and what your expectations are. When botox is properly done, no-one will be able to tell that you've had any treatment, the injections will just leave your face looking relaxed and refreshed. By choosing the right cosmetic doctor to achieve your aim, your appearance will look much improved, but will still remain looking completely natural.

Botox brow lift

*  Always check that the practitioners qualifications are authentic
*  Don't book because of offers like two for the price of one, or introduce a friend and get a discount
*  Make sure you have treatment in a clinic which is clean
*  Be aware that the cheapest priced treatment won't always be the best
*  Look at their before and after photos to check what results they achieve
*  Check online to see reviews to get recommendations
*  Ask around for word of mouth reviews

Continuity is always a good idea, so for any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's wise to use the same practitioner who knows what you want, what you are hoping to achieve and who knows your face.

Fillers, Botox & Profhilo Treatments To Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we are young we have smooth skin and fullness in the upper areas of the face, but as time goes by we'll find that the years of sun exposure, pollution and everyday stress has affected our appearance. As we age, the body loses elasticity and it will produce less of the natural substances, like collagen, which we need to keep our skin firm and well hydrated, which all cause facial lines and wrinkles to appear.

Dermal Fillers

Getting wrinkles and creases on the face is part of the ageing process, and they begin to appear as the collagen and elastin fibres break down, but they can also result from excessive frowning, smiling or squinting.

Dynamic lines

Dynamic are when lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing occur on the face when it's in motion. They're also called expression lines; laughter lines, frown lines and bunny lines. These are harmless at a younger age but they are an indication of where the deeper set wrinkles and folds will remain in later life.

Static lines

Static lines are noticeable wrinkles, lines, sagging and folds which are present on the resting face. These lines, if left untreated, will stay on the face and will progressively worsen.

Botox

Dermal Fillers, Botox and Profhilo treatments are very effective for both men and women. 

• Fillers will fill lost volume on the face, hands and body. They will fill hollows, plump up thin lips, soften folds and wrinkles on the face and improve scars and other facial defects.

• Botox can ease the fine lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements. Small amounts of Botox will smooth out the lines, but will leave you with natural, relaxed facial expressions.

• Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. This treatment will immediately show a noticeable improvement in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and reducing fine lines.

Profhilo

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

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

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

Before and after Profhilo injections

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:

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

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

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

Before and after dermal filler injections

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

Smooth Away Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby,Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing affects every area of the body, but of all the changes that occur, the changes in the face are the most obvious. Wrinkles and fine lines are the most common signs of ageing which form through smiling, squinting, smoking, and any other repeated facial movement. Most of our wrinkles develop because of damage to the skin, with the most damage coming from excess exposure to sunlight.

It's never too late to slow down signs of ageing and even those who are already starting to show some early skin ageing can benefit from making some lifestyle changes.

The rate of facial ageing will increase:

• When the skin becomes dehydrated it leaves the skin looking flat and dull, and the dryness will make the wrinkles show up more.
• Lighter skin tones also more prone to sun damage making the daily application of sunscreen essential.
• Repeated facial expressions like smiling, squinting and frowning often cause the first of your wrinkles to form.
• Heredity plays a role in how we age. The timing at which we start to develop wrinkles is partly influenced through genetics.
• Smoking can add fine lines and wrinkles to the mouth, causing lipstick to bleed its colour into the lip wrinkles. 
• Sleeping on the same side every night, will repeatedly press and squash the face to the pillow.

Even if you have great genes and look younger than you are, there's no way to avoid the ageing changes in your facial appearance. The changes that appear on our face, are reflections our happiness and life challenges, and we can either learn to love these changes, or decide to do something about them.

Botox is a prescription medicine that's injected into the facial muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and crows feet at the sides of the eyes. As long as you're treated by a medical expert, trained in facial anatomy, you will look younger and refreshed and you won't lose the ability to express any emotions or expressions.

These days we are all familiar with botox treatment, used to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles on different areas on the face, depending on the way your muscles of facial expression work. Botox treatments can easily be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermal fillers, which can also help to prevent new wrinkles and lines from forming on the face.

Ease Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all get older, this is just a simple fact of life, however, there are some people who unfortunately feel they look older than their years. Wrinkles are mostly associated with older people but they can appear at any age and it's not unusual for those in their late twenties or early thirties to seek wrinkle treatments.

Botox is not just for treating the wrinkles of older people, lots of younger clients are now having this anti-ageing treatment as a prevention method. If you stop the beginnings of a wrinkle and keep having maintenance treatments, you'll stay looking more youthful for longer. We don't have to age gracefully anymore as botox injections are an affordable treatment used by both women and men.

The face is the place where age shows up first, and wrinkle fillers are ideal for those who want a youthful appearance without having to do anything too drastic. Botox is non-invasive and can give an incredibly natural result, dramatically reducing wrinkles and giving a smoother, less tired-looking face. Botox cosmetic treatments can help a range of problem areas.

The upper face is the main area of Botox treatments:

• Crow's-feet at the sides of the eyes.
• Frown lines.
• Forehead creases.

One of the most common things people want to treat are dynamic wrinkles which result through muscle contractions. The frown lines across the forehead, and the two vertical lines between the eyebrows form through the repeated movement of facial muscles when we express ourselves.

Eventually as the skin ages, its elastic fibres fracture, the collagen in the skin breaks down and the skin takes longer to recover from being creased. The lines begin to bed into the skin and no longer disappear, even when the face is at rest. The muscles on the forehead cause the skin to crinkle up when we are concentrating, looking into the sun, speaking expressively and many other things that happen daily. In fact, every time you scowl, squint, glare or grimace, these lines are slowing starting to develop.

Botox treatments have no recovery period, so you will be able to return to your regular activities immediately, with no discomfort. Any pain associated with botox injections is minimal but having a topical anaesthetic cream applied before treatment can help with any potential discomfort. Botox treatment takes just minutes to perform and the results last anywhere from 3-6 months.

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.

The Many Uses of Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for both women and men to help ease and erase fine lines and wrinkles. It's a simple injectable treatment which will give you a smoother complexion without the need for invasive surgery. If you have lines around your mouth, neck, or on the forehead, then Botox can help.

Botox is one of the least invasive procedures available and when it's injected by skilled and experienced hands, they are safe, effective and cause minimal discomfort. The injections prevent the muscles from contracting, blocking impulses to selected nerves, making the wrinkles relax and soften.

Botox has many amazing benefits, including easing migraines, reducing sweating under the arms and of course erasing those troublesome wrinkles that can make you look prematurely old.

The many uses of Botox

* Anti-Ageing - Wanting to look younger and more youthful is the most popular reason we have Botox injections. It's one of the best non-surgical options for preventing wrinkles as it slows down ageing on the face and helps to tighten and lift the skin. Using Botox as a non-surgical face lift can take years off the face when it's used appropriately and this option is great for people who want just a slight lift and not the dramatic change of invasive surgery.

* Migraine Killer - Botox was licensed specifically for treating Chronic Migraine, which works due to it's nerve-blocking effects. It relaxes the muscles and blocks the sensory nerves that send pain messages to the brain, making them less sensitive to the onslaught of pain. Statistics say that over 6 million people in the UK  have migraine headaches, so for those with especially debilitating migraine attacks, this is great news.

* Muscle Spasms and Disorders - Botox is an ideal solution for muscle spasms, particularly in the face, neck and eyelids. When it's injected into the muscles it reduces the spasms by stopping the transmission between the muscle fibres and the nerve endings.

* Overactive Bladder - An overactive bladder occurs when the bladder contracts more often than necessary, even when the bladder isn't full. Symptoms may include a strong need to pass water along with leaking or wetting accidents, the urgent need to urinate immediately and a frequent need to urinate. Botox helps to paralyse the muscle around the bladder, which in turn prevents contractions from happening so the urgency to pass water is greatly reduced.

* Excess Sweating - Also known as Hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating can affect many parts of the body, but armpits, hands, feet and the groin are the most typical regions of excess perspiration, due to the higher concentration of sweat glands. Treatment works by effectively turning off the body's sweat glands by blocking the secretion of chemical transmitters that stimulates the sweat glands, which essentially paralyses them. Botox is injected into tissues of the problem area and this may give six to eight months relief from sweating.

Using Botox to treat these medical conditions are prescribed and performed by registered doctors, and for cosmetic treatments care should always be taken to choose an experienced trained specialist in cosmetic procedures. We administer Botox with fine needles which makes the procedure quite painless, and though there might be slight swelling and redness afterwards, this resolves quickly.

Lose Your Fine Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's said that women look at their face in the mirror at least eight times a day; to check their make-up is still in place, to see if there are any mascara smudges under the eyes, or lipstick on their teeth. They might want to check a pimple, but usually women check their reflection for a sense of reassurance.

Women usually begin to show signs of facial ageing around the age of twenty-five, and the first signs are fine lines around the eyes and around the mouth. The “number elevens” the two frown lines between the eyebrows are common too.

Botox is a licensed medicine and administering it is an art that needs a high level of ability, along with a talent for the craft. The risk of infection when botox is administered by an untrained person is higher than with a fully trained, experienced provider. When it's not injected properly, or isn't injected in the precise place, then things can quite easily go wrong.

An unskilled person injecting botox could end up paralysing the wrong muscles, you might be left with drooping eyelids and eyebrows, or in the worst case scenario you could even paralyse the muscles that move your eyeball, which could give you long-term problems with your eyesight. Don’t let price be your guide. If you find treatment that's being charged at much less than the standard fee, then it's likely that compromises have been made; either in the skill of the provider, quality of the product or the amount of it that's being used.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we specialise in giving a soft natural look to your face, tailoring each botox treatment specifically for you and your needs. The botox procedure takes about 20 minutes and doesn't need any anaesthetic. It's injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. Botox usually takes effect within 3 to 7 days after the injection and usually lasts from three to four months. The lines and wrinkles may look less severe with time because botox helps the muscles to relax.

So put yourself in our hands and your watch crows feet disappear around the eyes, along with those irritating lines and wrinkles around your forehead. Call now for an appointment and find out what we can offer you, and say goodbye to wrinkles.

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.

Microdermabrasion treatments can improve the texture and quality of the skin.

By removing the outer layer of cells, microdermabrasion can make your complexion look brighter and fresher, and if you have uneven skin tone, the treatment will help to create a more even tone.

Microdermabrasion can banish common skin problems such as:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven pigmentation
Clogged pores
Enlarged pores
Sun damaged skin/age spots
Uneven skin texture
Dry and flakey skin
Post-acne scars

Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure, which exfoliates the skin taking away the top layer. Approximately six treatments spaced four weeks apart are usually necessary to get great results.

There are many questions people often ask about microdermabrasion treatment, such as;

What's involved in a microdermabrasion procedure?
The skin gets cleansed to remove any oil or dirt, then a light mist of crystals will gently and painlessly dislodge dead and dull cells from the upper layer of the skin. A vacuum suction simultaneously removes the crystals and dead and dull cells, resulting in polished smooth and glowing skin.

Can medical microdermabrasion make the skin dry?
Dryness after treatment is rare, but if it does happen, you should nourish your skin with a replenishing serum. Everyday moisturising creams and make-up will work more effectively once the dry cells on the skin’s surface are gone.

How effective is microdermabrasion on wrinkles?
Microdermabrasion works on fine wrinkles. The skin's texture gets evened out through abrasion of the top layer of skin. The effect is a reduction or even total removal of superficial wrinkles.

Is microdermabrasion safe if you have eczema?
You shouldn't use microdermabrasion if you suffer from eczema, as the procedure is somewhat invasive to the skin and can worsen this condition. This applies if you are using microdermabrasion at home as well, despite its mild effect.

Can you have microdermabrasion if you have rosacea?
No. The exfoliation process will worsen the redness, itchiness and flaking symptoms of rosacea. However, there are other cosmetic treatments available for rosacea, just not microdermabrasion.

Does microdermabrasion help to treat scarring?
Microdermabrasion will even out the skin texture and help to remove superficial scarring by removing the top layer of skin, however, deeper scars will need more invasive non-surgical techniques, like deep chemical peeling or laser facial resurfacing.

Will microdermabrasion make the skin look healthy?
Healthy-looking skin needs elasticity and density, which are both achievable through skin cell renewal. As well as removing the dead skin cells, exfoliation will unblock the pores allowing creams and serums to penetrate deep into the skin. Removing the dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin and encouraging growth of a new layer, enhancing new collagen production, will increase skin thickness, tightness and will improve the skin tone and texture.

Is microdermabrasion painful?
There's no pain during a microdermabrasion treatment, although you might feel some slight tickling or tingling when the crystals make contact with the skin. There will be some slight redness after the procedure for about 24 hours.

Microdermabrasion takes no more than 20-30 minutes and it can successfully be used on the face as well as the body, neck, chest, back and hands. One major advantage is that it only removes the top layer of skin, which is why it's considered the least invasive cosmetic procedure. It doesn't need anesthetic and has almost no down time after treatment. All skin types and colours can have this treatment without any risks or side effects.

Lose Deep Set Smile Grooves with Dermal Fillers at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin is constantly under attack from the wind, sun and cold weather, emotional and hormonal changes and just the simple passing of time. All of these things will, over time, wear away at its structure, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and a loss of volume.

Some people think that facial fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, but others just want to reverse time and regain their fresh, youthful looks. There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the unwanted effects of facial ageing, making dermal fillers an amazing weapon to fight the ageing process. Fillers can add volume to the skin, smooth away unwanted facial lines, creases and wrinkles and help the skin to regain its youthful look.

Nasolabial folds are the creases running down from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to reduce these lines and grooves on the face, they're a versatile product, and they are safe, effective and long-lasting. Smile lines usually begin as faint lines that can eventually turn into deeper creases over time. Dermal fillers fill in the lines and creases, plumping up the skin to give you a more youthful appearance. They add volume, rehydrate and fill in folds and wrinkles by replacing hyaluronic acid and stimulating collagen production.

Dermal fillers can do much more than smooth out wrinkles, they can also help to:

• Reduce the smile and laugh lines around the mouth
• Restore and enhance volume to sunken cheeks or the temples
• Reduce vertical lip lines
• Minimise dark circles under the eye
• Smooth out a chin crease
• Plump up and add a natural fullness to the lips
• Improve facial symmetry
• Restore lost volume in the hands, making them look younger

Smile lines are a particular problem for some people, and unfortunately, sometimes they're genetic and run in the family. Creases that stay on the face even after we've stopped smiling are more likely to become prominent in slender and older people. The severe nose to mouth lines create deep creases or folds which are very noticeable, but softening or reducing them with dermal fillers can smooth the face, making it look rejuvenated, while still keeping a natural feel, allowing the facial features to shine through.

Dermal filler treatment for correcting smile lines normally takes around 20 - 30 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any discomfort during the treatment. There's no downtime and you can immediately go back to work or resume your normal activities. The results are visible straight away, with further improvements becoming noticeable in the following week. Dermal filler injections last for around 9 - 12 months, and over time they are naturally absorbed back into the body.

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.
