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.

Transform Your Face With a Selston Sculpt - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time the essential structure of our face will change and this is mostly due to; our lifestyle, smoking, gravity and general ageing. Growing older means the skin will eventually start to sag as our body produces less collagen and elastin, which are proteins that are essential for maintaining younger-looking skin.

This is the Selston Sculpt a facelift procedure that naturally reduces the signs of ageing

The Selston Sculpt is a liquid facelift which uses both dermal fillers and botox injections to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the face. It's a non-surgical facelift that will help to reduce dynamic wrinkles and restore lost volume, which together will create a lifted, naturally youthful look.

  

Ageing will cause:

• The loss of facial elasticity and volume can lead to wrinkles, sunken areas and creases and folds developing.
• Wrinkles will appear around the eyes, frown lines and horizontal  furrows on the forehead. You might also notice bunny lines on the sides of the nose and the lipstick lines on the upper lip.
• Volume loss tends to occur in the mid-face around the cheek-bones causing sunken cheeks and hollows beneath the eye area.
• Folds and creases can appear from the nose to mouth, known as the nasolabial and marionette lines, and on the chin and jowl areas.

Selston Sculpt treatment can gently lift the facial features and reduce the lines, wrinkles, folds and creases. It can help to restore the natural, curved facial features, giving the face a more rested, rejuvenated look and a friendlier smile.

The Selston Sculpt uses fillers of various densities to restructure and harmonise the face

We inject small amounts of botox precisely into various facial areas, chosen after careful examination of the muscle movements on the face. Botox temporarily suspends muscle movement in that area, and will smooth out forehead furrows, crows' feet and smokers lines around the lips.

Dermal fillers smooth out the deep marionette lines, or smile lines around the nose and mouth. It can restore volume to sunken cheeks and fill out hollows beneath the eyes, as well as adding volume to the lips. Fillers are ideal for smoothing out chin creases, restoring a youthful facial contour.

A Selston Sculpt will enhance the natural features of the face and smooth and tighten the skin, balancing out the shape of the face using advanced injectable techniques and giving instant, dramatic results.

Improve Your Skin Texture With A Chemical Peel - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we feel that our skin has lost its youthful glow, most of us will put it down to ageing. Lots of us think the skin will automatically start to get dull and wrinkly as we get older, however, achieving a glowing complexion and a flawless skin is possible whatever age we are.

There are many ways to improve the skin's condition and one of the best beauty treatments to do this, is a chemical peel. These peels come in many forms and can work wonders. They are ideal for those looking for a treatment that can lessen lines and wrinkles, as well as restoring the radiance on your face. There are no needles, injections or surgical procedures involved, making it an easy and painless way to get youthful looking skin.

Chemical Peels can help to:

• Reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth
• Improve the look and texture of the skin
• Reduce age spots, freckles and pigmentation on the skin
• Improve mild scars
• Treat certain types of acne
• Treat wrinkles caused by sun-damage and ageing

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers medical peels which are easy and stress-free treatments. Firstly there's a thorough cleansing of the treatment area, before applying the chemical solution. The peel solution creates a controlled wound and this will let new and healthy skin form in its place.

Chemical peels can benefit:

* Fine lines. Peels work by dissolving dead cells. The solution causes the surface of the skin to peel away, and after it heals it will show healthier, tighter layers of skin.
* Acne. Chemical peels are effective in treating acne, also helping to lessen mild acne scarring, by penetrating the surface layer of the skin which will aid in the shedding of dead cells.
* Uneven Skin Tone/ Pigmentation. Too much melanin in the skin is responsible for darker patches on the skin, which can easily be treated with chemical peels.
* Chemical peels can restore the texture of dry, sensitive or oily skin. Getting rid of the unwanted dead cells will give fresher skin, and tighter brighter and smaller pores. It's a good treatment to bring new and fresh cells to the surface.

Chemical peels are pain-free, and there's minimal skin shredding, flaking, irritation and redness. A face peel can promote growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which thickens the skin and improves resistance to the effects of ageing, and they will make your face look fresher and improve its texture and tone.

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.

Anti-Ageing Treatments to Get Youthful Looks - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

In recent times we have begun to notice women and men arriving at cosmetic clinics clutching computer-enhanced photographs and asking for cosmetic treatments to recreate this artificially perfected image. Phone cameras have a great number of filters and this has also increased the demand for cosmetic procedures, as clients try to copy their filtered photograph images, even bringing their altered images to the practitioner, as an example of what they want to look like.

Most of the people wanting these cosmetic treatments are not old with time-worn faces, in fact most of them are only in their early twenties. When young women see the perfect images of celebrities on posters and in magazines it forces them to look closely at their own image with a more self-critical eye than ever before. Non-surgical nose jobs, cheek fillers, lip enhancements and botox are some of the treatments of choice when trying to emulate the enhanced photographs.

Sometimes they decide to have facial enhancing treatments to increase their self-confidence, sometimes because celebrities are doing it, or sometimes because of peer pressure. 

There are now a great number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures:

• Botox - to reduce moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles, frown lines and crow's-feet.
• Laser treatments - rejuvenate the skin's surface.
• Chemical peels - these will improve the texture and tone of the skin.
• Radiofrequency therapies - for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.
• PDO thread lifts - can deliver essentially a non-surgical facelift, using injections placed in strategic places.
• Dermal fillers - for non-surgical nose jobs, lip enhancement, adding volume and lifting cheeks and much more.
• Microdermabrasion treatments - a non-surgical procedure that resurfaces the skin. It helps to remove dead skin cells on the skin's surface.

A lot of young people aren't looking for subtle results, and we're seeing suspiciously full lips, super defined cheekbones and skin that's smooth and tight. While we can't escape people taking endless photographs of themselves and using filters and editing to perfect the images, we really shouldn't let these images to influence us into having extreme treatments. 

Dermal fillers aren't just for people who are looking to restore their youth, but also to enhance the face. Botox can help us look our best without making our face look like a frozen mask, dermal filler in our cheeks will give us defined cheekbones and restore lost volume under the eyes, and we can enhance and define the lips, without inflating them to extreme proportions.

We all want to look the very best we can, but we don't have to go to extremes to achieve it.

Smooth Away Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to look as young as we can, for as long as we can. How we look after our skin and our lifestyle choices can all play a part in delaying the signs of ageing, although we do have to accept that ageing is both natural, and inevitable. Lines on the face are a sign of stress or age, but you can easily smooth away the fine lines and wrinkles with a quick five-minute treatment. It will leave you looking completely fresh, less worried and more awake. Subtly administered botox injections will give your face a soft natural, refreshed look.

The ageing process shows on our face, and this happens for a variety of reasons:
* Time naturally takes its toll
* Exposure to the sun breaks down elastin fibres
* Hormonal changes cause a loss of density on the skin
* Smokers tend to have more wrinkles than non-smokers
* Repetitive muscle movement can cause deep set lines and wrinkles

Wrinkles are the folds and creases that appear on the skin and are a natural part of the ageing process. The primary cause of facial wrinkles are the repetitive movements used when we make our facial expressions, and over time they form crows feet, frown lines and marionette lines. Lines around the mouth and lips start to appear when we pucker up the lips when smoking. The skin is also exposed every day to the elements; the wind, sun, dirt, and pollution, and it's inevitable that this will eventually affect the skin in noticeable ways.

• Fine lines are shallow and they're found in areas of facial movement, such as the eyes, mouth and upper lip, from laughing, smoking, eating and squinting.
• Wrinkles are depressions in the surface of the skin which can look either coarse or fine.
• Deep set wrinkles are expression lines and they're usually found on the forehead, the corners of the eyes and vertical lines on the side of the mouth, usually caused by frowning, raising your eyebrows and smiling.

Botox is an effective anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle treatment. The treatment is safe, affordable, convenient and fast, and the procedure is usually completed within 15 or 20 minutes. The results will last for at least 3 or 4 months. The botox injections are non-invasive and are very popular, offering people of all ages a way to, not only reduce the wrinkles, but also have strategically placed injections as a preventive measure to stop new wrinkles forming.

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.

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.

Safe Botox Treatment in Reputable Clinics - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Surprisingly anyone, regardless of qualifications or experience, can administer non-surgical cosmetic treatments like botox, meaning that every year in the UK, thousands of people suffer at the hands of untrained practitioners. Deciding where to go for botox treatment for the first time is difficult, but there are things that you can check, so you pick the right clinic, making sure that you're putting your health and appearance into the hands of the right people.

It's perfectly legal for anyone, regardless of what knowledge, ability, qualifications or experience they might have, to administer treatments to the paying customer. Treatments given by untrained people can result in injuries ranging from infections, burns, scarring and allergic reactions. The most popular and most used non-surgical cosmetic procedure is botox; the injectable treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, but to keep yourself safe, there are certain things to think about before deciding to have botox.

You should only go to a qualified and trained practitioner, preferably a doctor with experience in cosmetic treatments, and who has specialised, had training in facial anatomy and has a well-developed aesthetic eye.

• You can easily check out UK doctors on the registration checking service, which allows you to check a doctors GMC status online.
• Most reputable clinics offer a free consultation to clients, where you can enquire about different cosmetic procedures and find out what's involved in your chosen treatments before you commit yourself.
• Botox parties at home aren't safe or suitable places to have treatment. Avoid.
• Although most people tolerate injections, there are some people more sensitive to needles than others. Usually topical anesthetic creams or gels get applied to numb the area before any injections. Botox needles are very thin and the injections aren't very deep, so any discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal.
• The Practitioner/Doctor should offer a 2-week follow-up review.
• After injections, there's always some slight swelling and bruising, regardless of the experience and skill of your doctor. Significant results will show after 3-7 days when everything has settled down.
• Less is more, so always be aware that over-treating the face can make the face expressionless and mask-like.

Having botox injected into your facial muscles is a skilled procedure and should only be administered by professionals. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we provide an extensive range of cosmetic procedures, from botox, to vaser lipo, to laser hair removal etc, for the face and body.

Achieve Younger Looking Skin With Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We don't get to adulthood without seeing some sort of evidence on our face and we would all love to turn the clock back and get back the perfect, unblemished skin of our youth. Our skin has to contend with many things as we get older; sun, harsh weather and bad habits, and unfortunately these effects show on our face and tell the story. Skin problems like acne scars, liver spots on the back of the hands, face and décolletage or skin that's been damaged by too much sun, can all affect our self-confidence.

There are many reasons why we are not satisfied with our appearance but whether it's our face, neck or hands that we have a problem with, a solution is available. According to many doctors, one of the best anti-ageing treatments is the SmartXide DOT which is a fractional Co2 laser system which will improve the texture, tone and overall quality of your skin.

It's an ideal treatment for:

• Wrinkles
• Poor texture
• Large skin pores
• Sun damage
• Sun spots
• Brown spots
• Acne scars
• Surgical scars
• Uneven pigmentation
• Stretch marks

SmartXide Dot is tailored to each person's skin-type and to how much damage is on the skin. SmartXide Dot treatment helps to soften wrinkles of the face, especially around the mouth and eyes, as well having the unique ability to tighten loose skin. The skin treatment can soften deep lines and fine wrinkles until they disappear, leaving the skin smoother, fresher and looking more youthful. By forming a completely new skin layer, it will restore the tone and glow to the face and other treated areas.

The laser is good for:

• Reversing the look of ageing skin
• To effectively repair sun damaged skin
• Improve skin tightening, texture and firmness
• Smooth wrinkles and lines
• Even out the skin tone and colour
• Reduce acne marks and other scars
• Treat pigmentation (brown spots and skin discolouration)
• Reduce large pores on the skin.

Scars from acne or other skin injuries can also benefit from using this treatment. The laser treatment takes about 30 minutes to restore the skin's youthful appearance. The laser stimulates new collagen growth which helps to prolong the effects of the treatment, and gives a more even result. While it's true that we can't halt the ageing process, with care, we can maintain your rejuvenated skin's appearance for years to come.

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.

Fill Out Eye Hollows with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We do a lot of things to try and keep our eyes looking young; using creams, concealers, serums, cucumber slices and even used tea-bags. As well as being the windows to the soul, the eyes are also a big giveaway to show others how well we are ageing. As we get older, one of the changes we can expect to notice are the dark circles and deepening of the hollows under the eyes.

The naso-jugal groove, also known as the tear trough, occurs due to the thinning of the overlying skin and soft tissue over the bony orbital rim, and this happens because of the ageing process, genetics or because of sun damage. Tear troughs run from the tear duct and down in an arc underneath the lower eyelid, and it's the loss of volume in the tissue beneath the eye and above the cheek that cause the hollows.

Deep unsightly hollows can now be corrected with advanced dermal fillers, and this treatment will also help to correct the dark shadowing beneath the eye.

Dermal filler is an ideal treatment for:

• Sunken eyes
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Tired looking eyes
• Eye bags

Dermal filler treatment fills out the hollows and lines beneath the eyes and helps to mask the dark circles with its light reflecting technology. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we use hyaluronic acid based filler, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the body. These fillers are non animal based and are very safe to use. This treatment will rejuvenate tired looking eyes to create a more youthful appearance that will last up to twelve months. 

Tear trough treatment involves injecting filler into the under eye area, which fills out the hollows. A topical anaesthetic cream gets applied about 20 minutes before treatment starts to minimise any discomfort, numbing the skin and easing any pain. The treatment only takes twenty to thirty minutes to complete and the results are instant. There's minimal downtime, although you may have a tiny amount of swelling as the skin under the eye is very delicate. 

Young looking eyes are a great asset to the overall appearance of a youthful, attractive, healthy face. Having dark hollows under the eyes can make you look older than you are and can leave you looking like you've had sleepless nights. Over time the hollows can change in appearance, becoming longer, deeper and even more shadowed.

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

Over the years, the skin becomes vulnerable to a lot of damage. We'll get; injuries, sun exposure and acne, not to mention general ageing and loss of collagen and elastin, making the skin to lose its firmness and look tired and worn. All of this causes skin damage that builds up, and over time, will make your skin texture uneven and scarred, and can even make it look discoloured, but you can improve your skin by  exfoliating.

We exfoliate our face for three reasons:

• To cleanse the skin by removing build-up from the pores, which helps to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads 
• To smooth the skin’s texture, giving your skin a soft and flawless look
• To stimulate blood flow to the face, giving a youthful glow.

Microdermabrasion treatment

Exfoliation involves removing the old, dead skin cells on the skin's outer surface, getting rid of clogged pores, dull skin and signs of ageing. We use exfoliation during all of our deep cleansing facials, and during microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Exfoliating your skin can make it look softer, with a more even surface, helping skin treatments to work better and allowing a smoother base to apply your make-up on.

We can exfoliate our skin in different ways;

There’s the daily exfoliation using a traditional scrub. A facial wash containing tiny, sand-like particles will physically smooth away any rough areas, removing dead skin cells and uncovering new ones, leaving your skin feeling soft and looking flawless. You can also make your own face and body scrub by mixing baking soda with your facial cleanser to make it an exfoliating cleanser.

A liquid exfoliator uses acids to take away dead skin cells and it works on a deeper level by dissolving the glue-like substance that bonds the dead skin cells. Acid based products have an anti-bacterial effect that cleans deep within the pores, and some of them can boost hydration, cell turnover and collagen production. The skin sheds cells daily, however, by applying products and make-up every day we can halt this process, but using acids every day can copy this natural process. 

Exfoliation treatment that you get at a cosmetic clinic is microdermabrasion. Exfoliation done at home is superficial, microdermabrasion is more in-depth and goes deeper than your typical facial scrub. A precision blast of superfine crystals will smooth away fine lines, and reduce pigment irregularities on the surface of the skin. This stimulates an increase in cell turnover, and you'll notice more brightness to your complexion. Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetic medical procedures performed today and because it uses non-allergenic crystals, it's an ideal treatment for skin that's sensitive to chemicals. 

Before and after microdermabrasion treatment

Microdermabrasion is a safe non-surgical treatment which doesn't present any risks when it's performed by a qualified practitioner. This treatment is sometimes called a lunchtime peel and is one which will allow you to return to your normal activities on the same day. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that provides many benefits. It reduces or eliminates fine facial lines, wrinkles, improves acne scars and gives the skin a fresh, healthy-looking glow.

Re-shape Balance & Define The Face Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Loss of facial volume is one of the first changes that lead to an aged look on the face. The loss of volume may result from the natural ageing process, or you may notice it when you lose weight, although even those with athletic, slim bodies can experience diminished facial volume, resulting in facial hollows and loss of definition.

There are many techniques that can restore and then maintain facial volume, which will give a youthful, natural appearance. Dermal fillers offer a safe, non-invasive method of correcting volume loss, restoring facial balance, creating symmetry and improving the definition of facial features, such as the chin, under the eyes and cheeks.

Dermal filler used on the tear troughs

Dermal fillers can help :

Lip Enhancement - giving the lips more definition
Lip Augmentation - giving greater volume and a fuller appearance to your lips
Tear Troughs - adding volume and correcting the hollows under and around the eyes
Lip Creases - softening the depth of smokers lines around the mouth
Nasolabial Folds - softening or correcting the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth
Cheek Enhancement - contouring and enhancing the cheeks, to create higher cheekbone
Jowls Correction - fillers can define the jaw line to create a more defined, attractive line
Marionette Lines - reduces lines that give you a turned down smile
Nose - used to straighten out bumps, lift the tip or improve your nose shape
Chin - filler can define and change the contours of your chin

Dermal filler treatment on the jowls

Everything on the body changes as we get older and the chin is no exception. You may have always been quite happy with the shape of your face, but as you have aged you may notice that your chin has decreased in size and that your jaw line has changed shape. However, dermal filler can easily be injected into the chin, making it seem more prominent or increase the definition. Most women want to have a softer contoured chin, while men prefer to have a more masculine chiselled chin.

Dermal fillers for chin augmentation can :

• Improve facial balance of the forehead, nose and chin.
• Improve the symmetry of the chin
• Improve self-confidence
• Give a defined, stronger jaw line to improve the appearance
• Gently reshape a weak chin
• Achieve a completely natural looking result

Re-shaping the chin using dermal filler will add definition, balance and symmetry to the chin using long-lasting dermal fillers in a non-surgical treatment. Placement of fillers will give small and under developed chins a more natural, fuller chin, restoring natural balance to the face.
