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.

Treatments for Facial Ageing - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging of the skin and volume loss, and as time goes by, these will only intensify. Skin naturally starts to lose its elasticity, which causes wrinkles, and repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking and poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process and cause early wrinkling.

Dermal fillers fill the hollows under the eyes

Our skin ages in different ways:

Wrinkles
Skin loses some of its elasticity due to wrinkles and fine lines becoming thinner and drier and the wrinkles are often found around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Frequent fine motor movements of the face, that get repeated over the years, usually cause these lines.

• Eye Lines - Wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or at the computer screen.
• Frown lines - caused by frequent furrowing of the forehead in concentration or concern.
• Mouth lines - around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, or puckering the lips when drinking through a straw.

Loss of volume
As we get into our 30's, one of the most dramatic changes to the skin is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. Our skin will start to lose its plumpness because of the loss of fat and tissue under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

Loss in facial volume causes:

• Permanent parentheses lines on the resting face
• Sagging skin after sudden weight loss
• The cheeks flatten over time
• Hollows to appear under the eyes

Sagging
As we age, our skin loses the collagen and elastin which keeps it looking soft, plump and youthful. Ageing and gravity cause the facial muscles to weaken, which causes the skin to sag a little further down every day.

Sagging skin causes:

• Fine lines and wrinkles forming in the skin.
• Pores in the skin often seem bigger.
• Furrows and crevices start to develop around the eyes, neck and mouth.
• Lack of definition at the jaw

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control, like genetics, anatomy and gravity.
However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

A liquid face lift using a combination of botox and fillers

Botox - Facial lines and wrinkles aren't evident when the muscles underneath are relaxed. These signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.
Accent skin tightening - We can use this as a stand alone treatment or combined with other treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermaroller, to enhance results. These are great ways to tone, tighten and smooth your skin. It gives you rejuvenated skin firmness with the toned look of youth.

Combat Facial Ageing With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has smooth skin, the ability to reflect light and has fullness in the upper areas, but over time, years of sun exposure, pollution and everyday stress will affect our appearance. The body produces less of the natural substances that's needed to keep our skin firm and well hydrated, which all cause facial lines and wrinkles to appear.

Dermal filler used on the nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines)

We use dermal fillers to fill depressions on the face, hands and body. Injectable fillers are the perfect way to enhance your facial features ,because they can help to fill shallow contours, plump up thin lips, soften folds and wrinkles on the face and improve scars and other facial defects.

The ageing process begins when we are about 25 and over the next decade:

• Skin cell turnover slows down and dead cells remain on the skin creating a dull appearance
• Early wrinkles can begin to appear around the eyes
• The lines from the nose to mouth become more prominent
• The jaw line begins to soften 

From age 35 to 45

• Lines and wrinkles will deepen, and frown lines can give your face an angry look
• Your skin type may change, from oily to dry or vice versa
• Pigmentation changes on your skin

From age 45 onwards

• In menopause, oestrogen levels decrease, causing collagen to deplete
• Volume loss
• Skin can become dry and dehydrated
• Pigmentation will become more visible
• The face begins to drop
• The jaw area loses definition

Dermal filler used on the tear troughs (under eye hollows)

Wrinkles and creases on the face are 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 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, which are harmless at a younger age but will often contribute to where the deeper set folds and wrinkles will remain in later life.

Static lines are noticable wrinkles, lines, sagging and folds which are present on the resting face; sagging jaw line, nasal folds, sunken cheeks and horizontal forehead lines. These lines, if left untreated, will stay on the face and will progressively worsen.

Dermal Fillers are a temporary solution, as the hyaluronic acid in the fillers is naturally degradable, and is naturally broken down and eventually absorbed by the body. Fillers are effective at restoring hydration to the skin, smoothing lines and wrinkles and can also restore and enhance the facial shape. The fillers last around 9 to 12 months, although this may vary from person to person, depending on their lifestyle and which part of the face gets injected.

FUE Hair Transplants to Restore a Full Head of Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As they grow older, most men will lose hair, and though for some the loss is barely noticeable, for others it's very obvious. and when hair loss is severe or begins at a young age, it can cause great anxiety. For men, hair loss can cause distress especially if it happens in their early adult life, whether the hair is thinning on top, receding at the temples or going bald at the back.

It's a fact of life that most men will lose some, or all of their hair as they get older, and while some men embrace their baldness, there are also those who decide to do something about it.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic's renowned hair transplant surgeon, Raghu Reddy, has developed the Third Generation FUE; the most advanced minimally invasive method of hair restoration, which can achieve better and more natural looking results than more traditional procedures. With these advanced techniques, the results can be very convincing, especially when restoration is performed by such an experienced hair transplant surgeon.

Benefits of Third Generation FUE includes:

• No scalpels, stitches or linear scarring
• Natural-looking results
• The ability to achieve maximum density
• Ability to choose grafts and hair for different areas of the scalp
• Lifelong guarantee
• Future loss of hair can be countered for
• We can correct previous scars

Since Dr Reddy started to perform FUE hair transplants at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, which is his satellite clinic serving the North and Midlands, his wealth of experience has made him a much sought after FUE transplant surgeon. Dr Reddy works most weekends at the Selston clinic.

The transplant procedure involves taking single hairs, which contain the sebaceous glands, as well as the nerve and blood tissue and then transplanting them to the area that needs filling in. We take the hair from the back of the head, and as this hair is not subject to hair loss, once it's transplanted it will remain. It's a painless procedure with little down time and no linear scaring.

The photo's below show Dr Reddy implanting the grafts and the grafts being prepared.

The photo's below show each hair being placed into the scalp, one by one by Dr Reddy, and the filled-in receding hairline.

FUE treatments will leave you with natural looking, long-lasting results. The technique precisely targets and transplants only the strong, healthy hair follicles that aren't sensitive to testosterone, and this results in the hair loss being restored permanently. The specialist hair transplant doctors use custom-made microsurgical tools to ensure a single minimally invasive procedure, without unsightly scarring.

There will be some minor pin prick scarring immediately after the procedure, but this disappears during the healing process which takes approximately 5-7 days and any redness or slight swelling in the treatment area will also subside.

Get A Flatter Toned Chest with Vaser Lipo For Man Boobs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Most men want a well toned body, with a well toned chest, but unfortunately some men tend to gain weight on the breast area, which tends to cause a lot of embarrassment, and makes them extremely self-conscious about their body.

Before and after vaser lipo treatment

Lots of people joke about man boobs, but it isn't really a laughing matter for the men affected by this condition. It can cause psychological harm on those suffering, and can easily cause loss of confidence and even depression, especially to teenaged boys.

Man boobs, or gynecomastia, happens to more than 40% of men, and those who have this condition usually try to disguise their breasts from being seen by others. Whether it's wearing oversized shirts and tops, avoiding activities like swimming, where their bodies would be on show or even going to the extremes of binding the chest to try to get a smoother silhouette. These days, lots of men who are looking for a lasting solution to treat their oversized moobs, are now aware of vaser lipo treatment to have the fat in the breast area removed.

Important benefits of Vaser Lipo

• It can refine and emphasise muscle appearance
• Smooth's the skin in the most delicate areas, such as the arms and neck
• Can easily remove large amounts of stored fats
• Small incision scars won’t be visible as they will blend into the natural creases of your skin
• Can produce readily visible results in a single procedure
• Minimal discomfort and there's no risk involved.

The vaser lipo treatment uses ultrasound energy to break up fatty deposits in precisely targeted areas of the chest. It's gentle to the surrounding tissue, nerves, blood vessels and veins. The precise and gentle techniques mean that vaser treatment has a faster healing time that's much quicker than traditional liposuction. The skin on the treatment area is left looking much smoother, leaving you with a more naturally defined silhouette.

Before and after a vaser lipo procedure

The vaser lipo technique helps to contract and tighten the skin to sculpt the body. It's gentle to the tissue surrounding treatment areas, so as not to cause sagging skin but rather leave a smooth, contoured finish.

Vaser lipo treatment for male breast reduction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among men. You'll see the results immediately, although after the procedure is over, you'll have to take some precautions for quicker healing. You'll wear a compression garment for some weeks afterwards and in case of swelling or bruising, your doctor will prescribe you with pain relief.

We are all different and we will all age in different ways. Some of us, if we are lucky, will grow old having firm, clear skin with a minimal of wrinkles, however, many of us won't. Over the years, we have many concerns about our skin's condition, and stress, worry, sun damage and even genetics, all play their part in how we'll look when we grow old.

We all know that as we get older everything can start to go steadily downhill and our skin will start to show its age, with fine lines and wrinkles beginning to appear. The skin becomes dull and our skin might lose elasticity, as our bodies no longer makes collagen at the same levels it used to. Luckily, these days we can actually do a lot to repair the outer damage, and give us back our healthy looking complexion.

A Non-Surgical Nose Job For a Perfect Facial Profile - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A non-surgical nose job using dermal fillers, is a great alternative that's available to those interested in improving or just enhancing the shape of their noses, without going through the pain, the cost and the recovery time, that's associated with a surgical nose job. However, a nose job using fillers can't make the nose smaller or correct deformities, but it can enhance the nose balance and correct asymmetry, as well as bridge augmentation and straightening your profile.

The non-surgical nose job is also known as the liquid nose job and is an ideal option for those who are unhappy with their nose shape but don't want invasive surgery. Using dermal filler treatment means there's minimal downtime, the results are instant and there's no need for a general anaesthetic.

You'll be a good candidate for nose reshaping if you want to :

• Straighten and soften a bump on the bridge of the nose
• Correct a nose that requires more height and definition.
• Define a nose following a surgical rhinoplasty
• Amend a slightly crooked nose
• Correct a hooked shape or a mild drooping of the nasal tip

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic the non-surgical nose job treatment begins with numbing cream getting applied to the outside of the nose. A fine needle injects Radiesse dermal filler into precise locations on the nose. The Radiesse filler does not migrate or lump together in the tissues and when it does break down, 8 to 10 months later, it does so symmetrically and evenly. The filler injections will take anywhere between 20-30 minutes to complete. The procedure results aren't permanent and will need future top-up treatments.

With dermal filler treatment the results are instant. After the procedure, the treated area may seem slightly red or swollen, but you can resume normal activities, and return to work immediately after the procedure. The results usually last 8 to 10 months, although the exact time will depend on the structure of your skin, lifestyle and age. Additional treatments can easily be performed any time after the first treatment.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi, who is a skilled, experience doctor, performs the non-surgical rhinoplasty. It's an ideal treatment that's quick, with no cuts or scars, has minimal downtime and will transform your appearance.
