Remove Fat & Streamline The Body Using Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unsuccessfully trying to lose weight and tone up the body can make you feel demoralised, especially if you have tried to lose the unwanted excess fat by eating healthily and exercising. Those who have struggled over time trying to improve problem areas on the body, might find that vaser lipo is the  kick-start they need to get in control of their weight and body shape. Vaser lipo can take away the fat, improving the shape and making the body look slimmer and toned.

Vaser lipo is a fat removal treatment targeting problem areas and taking away your unwanted fat. It can sculpt and define the body, giving you a sleeker, smoother body shape and can help to put your body in proportion. The results that you'll see will vary, depending on the amount of fat that you have removed, and on how many areas that you have treated in a single procedure. Vaser lipo does take time for the body to settle down after treatment, but for some people, amazing results are there to see right away after the procedure, others will notice a difference, but will see the best results months later.


The ideal candidates for vaser lipo treatment should:
*  have skin that is still elastic
*  be in good general health
*  have fat deposits that is hard to lose with only diet or exercise
*  be within or close to their BMI
*  want to get a more aesthetic pleasing body shape

Vaser Lipo uses ultrasound energy to break up fat, its innovative technology respects the veins, nerves, blood vessels and surrounding tissue, leaving them relatively intact. The liquefied fat is then removed through a gentle suction process giving optimal body sculpting and fast results.


The body won't replace the fat cells removed by vaser lipo, meaning a long-lasting change in body shape can easily be maintained by keeping up a regular exercise program and eating healthily. Younger people with firm elastic skin will tend to have better results with lipo treatment, because as we get older the skin tends to become looser and less elastic and doesn't tighten so readily around the new shape.

Post op care after treatment is essential and it's important that you follow the after-care instructions given to you by your doctor, as any shortcuts can affect your results. It's essential that you make sure your treated areas are kept smooth, using either ultrasound or massage and you must wear the compression garment to get the best results possible.

Men Can Also Benefit From Botox & Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't influence what effects the passage of time has on our skin, but we can try minimising its impact. Men today seem more aware of the cosmetic treatments available to them and have a more open attitude towards using them, to stay looking youthful. It isn't just women who want to look their best, these days men are also paying extra attention to their appearance. When it comes to getting older, we tend to think that men improve with age more than women, believing that men grow older in a more distinguished way.


Ageing happens to us all, but whatever age we are, it's never too early to start looking after our skin and maintaining our appearance. Lots of older, mature men look fantastic for their age, sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes it's because they've had a bit of help along the way. Anti-ageing treatments for men have become increasingly common place and the numbers of men having cosmetic treatments are on the rise.

Men have the same basic concerns about ageing as women. They want to soften the signs of ageing and look as good possible for their age and there are many subtle, undetectable treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and microdermabrasion which can help.

Men seek anti-ageing treatments for certain things:
  • Lines and wrinkles - Botox can lessen and soften the wrinkles which are present even on the relaxed resting face. Frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crows feet can all benefit from botox injections.
  • A tired appearance - It's annoying when we look overly tired despite getting adequate sleep. Eye bags, dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes (tear troughs) are particular concerns, which dermal fillers can rectify. Dermal fillers can also soften deep lines and furrows on the face and replace lost volume to gaunt cheeks.
  • Pigmentation - Age spots, mild scars, fine lines and sun damage are signs of ageing that can easily be treated with microdermabrasion, which can dramatically improve the skin's texture and tone.

The popularity for cosmetic procedures isn't just restricted to younger men; men of all ages seek cosmetic treatments to improve their looks, to slow down the signs of ageing and to give them healthy-looking skin. The number of men undergoing anti-ageing cosmetic treatments has dramatically risen in the last decade and some men now spend as much time caring for their appearance as women do.

Lose Unwanted Fat Using Vaser Lipo at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Many of us have an unfavourable relationship with our body image, and when we feel insecure about our body it can become very easy to look at ourselves and only see the things we don't like. Innocent comments about our body shape can make us sensitive about the way we see ourselves, making us worry about how we think other people are judging us. Around 67% of people feel that they are overweight, and if we aren't happy about the way our body looks, then it's not hard to see why we feel insecure.


It's a fact that if you feel comfortable in the clothes you're wearing, then you'll feel more confident, which goes to show that you should always make sure you buy the correct size for your body and always wear clothes that fit properly. Sizes change from shop to shop so you mustn't get hung up about the size written on the label, if you need to try the next size up - do it. Clothes that are ill-fitting or too tight will only make you look bigger than you really are.

Things to remember:
*  Accept that all bodies come in different shapes and sizes.
*  Don't forget, nobody is perfect.
*  Exercise helps to maintain a healthy body image.
*  Think positive. While we think we look fat and lumpy, other people may find us really attractive.
Eating healthily will help you keep your weight steady and boost your confidence.
*  It's perfectly normal for our weight and body shape to fluctuate weekly and monthly.
*  When looking in the mirror, focus on your good features and give yourself some compliments.
*  Remember that the people who love you, love you for you, and not for what you look like.

Things we shouldn't do:
*  Don't let your body shape define who, or what you are.
*  Try not to let obsessions with your body stop you from getting closer to others.
*  Don't judge others on the basis of their appearance, body size, or shape.
*  Don't think we're the only ones worrying about our body, many people also struggle with this.
*  Don't believe that all thin people are happy with their bodies, we all dislike some part of our body.


Sometimes, even after exercising regularly and eating healthily, we nearly have the body shape we are happy with but we're left with small pockets of fat that won't go away. If you want to get rid of this unwanted fat, then vaser lipo is a cosmetic treatment that can help. Vaser lipo treatments will remove the fat and give precision shaping and contouring on your body for a natural-looking result. It's a gentle treatment, giving you instant results.

Define The Chin & Jaw Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the first things we notice about the face starting to look older, is the loss of volume, which may happen because of the natural ageing process, or we might notice it when we lose weight, but even those with athletic, slim bodies can experience diminished volume in the face, resulting in hollows and loss of definition.

There are many cosmetic techniques that can restore facial volume to give a youthful, natural appearance. Dermal fillers offer a safe, non-invasive method of replacing volume loss, restoring facial balance, creating symmetry and improving the definition on features such as the chin, eyes, cheeks and jaw line.


Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment for:
* Lip Enhancement - giving the lips more definition
* Lip Augmentation - adding volume, giving the lips a fuller appearance
* Tear Troughs - to add volume and correct the hollows under and around the eyes
* Lip Creases - softening the depth of smokers lines around the mouth
* Nasolabial Folds - correcting the deep grooves at the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth
* Cheek Enhancement - enhancing and contouring the cheeks, to create higher cheekbones
* Jowls Correction - defining the jaw line to create a more defined, attractive line
* Marionette Lines - to lessen the lines that give you a turned down smile
* Nose - straightening out bumps, lifting the tip or improving the nose shape
* Chin - to define and change the contours of your chin

You might have always been quite happy with the shape of your face, but everything on the body changes as we get older and the chin is no exception. You may notice small changes over time; your chin can decrease in size and the jaw line can change shape. Dermal filler can easily be injected into the chin, to make 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 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. Dermal filler injections will improve an under developed chin, restoring a natural balance to the face.

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.

Replace Lost Volume in the Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has plump apple cheeks, smooth contours and a natural glow, but as we get older, we lose volume due to the loss of collagen, which takes away this natural glow. Keeping our face looking youthful is achievable using injectable treatments and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Dermal fillers can enhance your cheeks by filling in lost volume and bringing back a smoother, fuller and healthier look to your skin. Filler containing hyaluronic acid is a very good choice because of its excellent compatibility with the human body, making it ideal to erase facial wrinkles and lines and replace volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found the body and when used in a filler it acts as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells.


Filler is used to:
*  Create higher cheekbones
*  Minimise harsh angles creating a smoother cheek contour
*  Give the cheek a natural curve
*  Fill in hollow cheeks

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately they don't come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheek, making them seem hollow and gaunt but using facial filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this, and bring the back the symmetry of the face. The three main landmarks on the face are the nose, cheeks and chin, and the facial structure might seem unbalanced when one of these is out of proportion.

A practitioner will inject dermal filler into the hollow areas, and you'll immediately notice the difference as the wrinkles vanish and the sunken areas get more volume. When our body's own collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin, and temporarily replenish the skin's volume.


Facial fillers are a simple solution and they offer many benefits:
  • They're minimally invasive
  • Results are instantly visible, although the full results may take a couple of weeks to appear
  • Procedure takes less than an hour
  • Minimal downtime required after the treatment
  • Results will last from nine months to a year
The dermal filler will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones. Higher, fuller cheeks can enhance your appearance, balance your other facial features and instantly restore your face to a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are ideal for those who want to look younger and fresher without the need for invasive surgery. They can work wonders for skin that has wrinkles and volume loss and these treatments are a wonderful option to fight the signs of ageing.

Laser Treatment For Skin Pigmentation - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Pigmentation on our skin is a common and usually harmless condition, which occurs when patches of skin become darker in colour, causing an uneven skin tone. We'll start to notice that patches of skin such as freckles and age spots will often appear on the skin as we reach 40, as this is when our skin begins its true ageing process. As we age our skin is less able to repair sun damage, like it did when we were younger.

Pigmentation is a skin condition that occurs in people, usually due to an unhealthy or higher production of a pigment called melanin. Pigment decides the colour of our skin, hair and eyes and people with a darker skin tone will have more melanin in their skin cells than those with lighter skin, and if the skin cells become damaged or unhealthy, it will affect the melanin production, which in turn, will affect your skin. Higher production of melanin causes a number of skin problems, such as dark spots, dark patches, uneven skin tone, and dark circles.


Pigmentation can happen for many reasons: over exposure to the sun, genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions or as a result of burns and it can also become more obvious as we get older, causing liver and age spots which if left untreated can worsen. Some pigmentation disorders just affect certain patches of skin, and while these patches aren't harmful, they can cause some distress.

Advanced laser technology can help resolve skin pigmentation problems, resurfacing the top layers of the skin and causing sun damage and pigmentation to disappear. It offers us a safe, effective and easy way to treat irregular pigmentation. Laser treatment works by damaging the top layers of the skin, forcing the collagen to kick in and start repairing the damage, so after a few weeks the skin will looker plumper and revitalised. The laser system resurfaces the skin and as the laser stimulates the collagen production, you'll see a continuous improvement in texture and smoothness of the skin over several months.


Most clients experience minimal discomfort, although some might experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin during the laser delivery, but a topical anaesthetic cream before the treatment begins will make it more comfortable. Afterwards, the skin on the treated areas will become darker, but this will flake off after a few days. You'll most likely be able to see an improvement in skin tone and texture as soon as the redness fades after the first treatment.

Depending on the size of the affected area, the treatment sessions can take between five to thirty minutes. A single treatment session will get the desired result, but sometimes two laser treatments may be needed, taken one month apart. The results of laser treatment are permanent.

Replace Volume on Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the effects of ageing than the face. Some people think lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others want to turn the clock back and regain their youthful look. Luckily we can rejuvenate the face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments.

Nasolabial folds are the indentation lines on either side of the mouth that start from the edge of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. These lines become more prominent when we smile and laugh, and unfortunately, over time these expressions create permanent and unwanted smile lines. Nasolabial folds develop because our facial muscles get weaker as we get older, and though some people feel they are a natural part of ageing, many others don't like them.


Both men and women start to notice nasolabial lines as they age and this happens when we lose volume in the cheeks and upper face. The area starts to sag, causing the fold of the cheek into the nose area. We can effectively use dermal fillers on male and female faces to replace volume and structure to the ageing face in the cheek and nasolabial region.

Nasolabial folds become more noticeable due to a variety of factors, including:
  • Sun exposure, which damages the skin, causing wrinkles and changes in texture
  • Loss of collagen with age, making the skin weaker and thinner
  • Loss of fat, which can make the cheeks and nearby regions look saggy
The deepening of nasolabial folds are a common concern that affects many people and they occur when gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks, Gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold, and they generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.


Dermal fillers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments used to restore the loss of volume in the face. Dermal fillers work together with the remaining collagen and elastin in the body, to replace the volume that's lost through ageing, as well as smoothing out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins that keep the skin looking plump and youthful begins to drop from the age of twenty-five, and it's when these levels decrease when you start noticing the signs of ageing.

Dermal fillers can successfully replace volume in the face, smoothing out the creases, folds and wrinkles. Fillers are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery for replacing the volume that's been lost through facial ageing. The results achieved by using dermal fillers for the nasolabial folds are stunning and very natural looking.

Tear Troughs - Fill In Eye Hollows With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fresh looking eyes are a big asset to our overall facial appearance, we want to make a good first impression when we meet someone, we don't want them to only notice how tired and drawn we look. As we get older our face changes, and we begin to notice things like loss of volume and the skin getting thinner, and this, along with a natural decrease in fatty tissue and a loss of skin elasticity will cause the area beneath the eye to become puffy and shadowy.

The natural depression that follows the curve of the eye socket, from the nose around to the underside of the eye is known as the tear trough, because that’s where the tears gather. Getting dark circles beneath the eyes are a common problem as we age, and they can make us look weary. As well as ageing; smoking, the environment and stress can also contribute to shadows and eye bags, making them look worse.


When we're young, distribution of fat in our face is even, with some fat pockets plumping up the cheeks, forehead, temples and around the eyes and the mouth. As we get older, we lose volume as the fat shifts downward, making the features that were once rounded start to sink and become gaunt. This means that other parts of the face gain some fat, which tends to settle under the chin and around the jowls in the neck.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and we can see the underlying capillaries much easier compared to other parts of the face, making any diminished circulation, puffiness or swelling much more noticeable. Replacing volume in the under eye area can reshape the entire face and dermal fillers are now regularly used to fill in the hollows. Filling in these depressions can take away the tired look on your face and lighten the dark circles around the eyes.

Tear trough treatment will:
  • Banish dark circles and bags from under the eye
  • Ease wrinkles and lines
  • Add volume to the under-eye area
  • Get instant results that will last around 6-8 months
  • Leave you feeling and looking more youthful


Tear trough treatment using dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that can restore your looks instantly. The filler gets precisely injected into the skin using very fine needles, re-creating the plump, firm skin that your under eye area used to have. A good cosmetic doctor with experience of injecting dermal fillers will have a trained eye for what looks good and what will suit your face. It's important to avoid an overdone and unnatural look, aiming instead for natural-looking results to make you look younger and more refreshed.

Add Volume to Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unfortunately over time we lose volume in our lips and gain fine lines around the borders meaning they no longer look as youthful as they once did. We begin to notice that the vermilion borders and the cupid's bow are becoming less defined and the philtrum ridge between the nose and mouth starts to flatten out.

A lip enhancement treatment can improve your overall facial appearance, not just the lips. Filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that will enhance your lips giving them a fuller, plumper look and smooth out any fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area, giving it a more youthful look.


It's wise to always do your research when choosing somebody to enhance your lips, as turning ordinary lips into beautiful lips is a skill that requires a lot of practice and ability. It's essential that you choose a qualified specialist cosmetic practitioner who has lots of experience in performing injectable treatments, one who combines artistry and expert ability with every treatment they perform. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we will aim to give you a subtle lip enhancement which will show off the natural shape of the lip, reducing the asymmetry and giving the lip a well-defined border.

The practitioner will perform the lip filler treatment by injection using an ultra fine needle, restoring volume to areas where it's been lost due to ageing, or to lips which are naturally thin. Dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid which is ideal for lip treatments, as it's a naturally occurring protein that's found in the human body and this means that side effects are very rare.


As the lips are a very sensitive part of the face, it's normal to feel slightly uncomfortable during the lip enhancement treatment. However, dermal fillers do contain a numbing agent to lessen any discomfort during the procedure, and we also apply a local anaesthetic cream to the lips, twenty to thirty minutes before the treatment takes place.

Unfortunately, dermal filler lip enhancements are not a permanent solution, because over time the body will gradually break down the fillers and they will naturally disperse back into the body, so eventually you'll need to top up the filler if you want to keep the look. The results of most dermal fillers will typically last about six to eight months and the practitioner will let you know how soon you'll need to return for a top up treatment.

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.

Remove Warts From The Face, Hands & Body - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Warts are unsightly, stubborn growths which can develop on the skin of both men and women, irrespective of their age. They can show up almost anywhere on the face and body but most commonly appear on the face, neck and hands. Most people develop warts at some time in their life, and though warts are unattractive, they are harmless. Warts on the face and body can affect our self-confidence in a very big way and not only do they look unsightly, they can also take some years to resolve when left untreated.


Warts are caused by a virus and they're one of the most common skin infections you can have. They are easily spread by direct contact and you can easily infect yourself again, when you touch the wart and then touch other parts of your body. The wart virus usually enters the skin through defects in the epidermis, which is the outer layer of the skin. They are often seen as an embarrassing thing to have, especially when they are on a visible part of the body, such as the face and hands.

Some types of warts are:
  • Common warts - they can appear anywhere on the face, hands or body. They are rough, with a grainy appearance and a rounded top, and look more grey coloured than the surrounding skin.
  • Flat warts - are slow-growing, they're small and not obvious straight away. They are smooth and flat with a rough appearance and can look pink, brownish, or slightly yellow.
  • Filiform warts - are flesh coloured warts which are small and shaped like a tiny flap or tag of skin, and grow around the mouth or nose and sometimes under the chin or on the neck.
  • Plantar warts - are also known as verrucas, and they grow on the soles of the feet, but unlike other warts these grow into your skin, not out of it. Plantar warts are flat with a black centre, and they're surrounded by hardened skin. They can cause pain or discomfort when you walk.
  • Periungual warts - grow under and around the toenails and fingernails and they can cause pain and affect nail growth.

Radio surgery treatment is an ideal method for wart removal. The high frequency radio waves generate heat, which then evaporates the wart. The advanced technology of this treatment generates much less heat that other conventional methods, which results in minimal scarring to the skin. Radio surgery penetrates the area of a wart, and the electrode of the radio wand travels over the wart, heating the area and removing the wart without needing to cut the skin. With this treatment, downtime is almost non-existent and you'll be able to get back to normal quickly, without any lingering discomfort.

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


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

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

Semi-Permanent Make-Up at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Semi-permanent make-up is a cosmetic treatment that carefully applies pigment into the dermal layer of the skin, through a type of cosmetic tattooing. The pigment used in this treatment is a natural iron oxide. It's hypoallergenic and there are no fragrances, emollients or other added ingredients.

With semi-permanent make-up you can look your best, while putting in the least amount of effort. Having treatment stops you having to apply, reapply and remove make-up every day, and will always look as if it's been professionally applied.


Eyebrows
Naturally shaped eyebrows can frame the face and accentuate the eyes, and you can get different looks by using different techniques. You can choose powdered eyebrows, micro-blading,  HD brows or you can even have a few hair strokes, to fill in eyebrow gaps.

Eyeliner/ Lash Liner
You can have Semi-permanent liner that will suit your eye colour and complement your natural features. The practitioner will draw liner on your eyes before the treatment, giving you an idea of how the finished result will look. You can opt for a thin subtle line, a heavily defined liner or maybe a flick at the edges that will add a sassy finish to this look.

Lip Liner and Blush
This treatment can emphasise, correct or define the lips and it can prevent lipstick bleeding. You can beautifully accentuate your lips with a colour wash, giving your lips an attractive soft and natural look. The lip blush involves defining the shape along the lip line before progressing down and into the lip, adding the pigment into your natural lip colour.


There are lots of reasons why people have semi-permanent make-up treatment:
* Some women have little time for applying cosmetics every day
* To rectify over plucked eye brows, thinning lips or dull eyes
* Some women have sensitive skin or are allergic to the ingredients in make-up
* Arthritis or painful shaky hands can make applying make-up difficult
* Those with sparse hair growth, or have hair loss due to illness or alopecia

There's usually minimal discomfort, but topical anaesthetic cream can greatly reduce any minor discomfort. After treatment, the pigment on the skin might look a bit darker than you asked for, but the colour will lighten by up to 30%.after a few days.

The results look very natural, making your features look more defined and although it varies with every person, the results usually last between three to five years and in some cases could be longer.

Vaser Lipo To Sculpt The Knees - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It doesn't seem to matter that we eat a healthy diet and try to keep ourselves fit, we can sometimes find that there are areas of stubborn fat that annoyingly, just won't go away. Even when we exercise regularly, this won't always tone up the bits that are bothering us the most.

When we gain excess weight on our legs, it doesn't just settle on the outer and inner thighs, unfortunately it can also settle around the knees and this fat can cause sagging skin on the knees, even on those who are otherwise slim and toned. You don't actually need to have lots of excess body fat, in order for fat deposits to settle around the knees.


Having plump knees can affect not only our confidence, it can even influence our clothing choices, making us reluctant to show them off when wearing short skirts, shorts and swimwear. If someone is self-conscious about their knees because they look saggy, wrinkly or have excess fat above or below them, then Vaser Lipo treatment can successfully treat the problem.

Vaser treatment usually removes fat from the inner part of the knee, but it can also be taken from just above the knee. The doctor will make one or two small incisions during the treatment, and these are either hidden behind the knee or in the crease above the knee. The doctor can do the Vaser treatment either as a stand-alone procedure or do it while performing Lipo on other areas, such as the inner or outer thighs or the saddlebags. Traditionally, the knees have been a tricky area to treat when using surgical treatments, but fortunately, Vaser Lipo can treat delicate areas and is a safe and efficient method of resolving this problem, by removing the unwanted fat and precisely shaping the knees.

The knees can look unsightly due to a number of issues:
  • Genetics
  • Past damage 
  • A change in weight
  • Health conditions
Unlike traditional Liposuction, Vaser Lipo doesn't need large incisions and the recovery time is a lot shorter, due to less damage to the surrounding tissues and blood vessels. Vaser Lipo allows precision shaping for a much more natural-looking result. It's a gentle treatment for removing excess fat and the results are instant.  After Vaser treatment clients find that their confidence improves as they feel more toned and can wear different types of clothing.

An Eyebrow Lift Using Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we decide we need to combat signs of ageing, particularly wrinkles, there's no treatment more popular than Botox, but we can also use Botox injections to make changes to some facial features such as the eyebrows. Most of us want to look as good as we can, and a small amount of Botox can enhance our appearance by softening the signs of ageing, it can lift your brow while still making your face look natural. A highly arched eyebrow is a classic sign of youthful beauty.

One sign of facial ageing is the eyebrows, because their shape changes over time they can get a hooded look. A Botox brow lift involves injecting Botox into the muscles, into specific areas of the face. Muscle movement happens through the pushing and pulling of different muscles, and this is something that can easily be altered slightly to create natural looking eyebrows with a high arch.


As you get older your brow may drop or sag, but Botox treatments will allow you to lift the brow, giving your face a younger look and making you look less tired. A brow lift is a Botox injection treatment that can raise the skin tissues around the eyes and eyebrows, to raise the natural eyebrow arch. This treatment can also make the eyes look wider, resulting in a more youthful look. It's recommended that brow lifts are more suited to those with mild to moderate brow heaviness, due to low-hanging eyebrows or naturally drooping eyelids.

The Botox brow lift, or chemical lift, is a popular procedure for those who don't want to undergo invasive surgery. The treatment is ideal for all skin types, and those who have naturally drooping eyelids and low-hanging eyebrows may find it particularly effective. Injecting Botox into the brow will literally lift the skin tissues above and around the eyebrows, resulting in the natural eyebrow arch raising a few millimetres higher.

Botox is a non-surgical treatment, it has many benefits:
  • A safe, effective, tried and tested product
  • It's a relatively affordable cosmetic procedure
  • Treatment needs no downtime
  • When combined with fillers, it can give your whole face a more youthful, balanced look
  • Botox can treat chronic migraines, excessive underarm sweating and other conditions
  • Designed to give attractive, natural and understated results

Botox used in tandem with other injectable treatments can fully rejuvenate the entire face, reducing the wrinkles, plumping up the lips and replacing volume in the cheeks, which will all work together to soften the effects of ageing.

Laser Treatment for Spider Veins on the Legs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, it's possible that tiny blood vessels can become dilated and look as though they are close to the surface of the skin. Both our skin, and our veins become weakened with age, and this can cause spider veins to look more visible on ageing or mature skin. These veins are fine purple or red wavy lines and they're known as broken, thread or spider veins.

Lots of people suffer from spider veins on the legs, which are blood vessels that can appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. They get their name from the shape of the veins, some which are quite small, while others are more noticeable. Finding visible dilated or broken blood vessels on the legs, especially when they can easily be seen by other people, can affect our confidence and self-esteem.

Spider veins are more likely to appear on women than on men and they are normally found on the legs, but unfortunately they can also appear on the face, breasts and arms. People, especially women, who have thread veins on the face and legs can find them embarrassing or unsightly, and it can affect their self-confidence.


There's no obvious cause for why we get thread veins, they tend to develop as we age, with the skin and blood vessels become less elastic. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and the menopause can also provoke their development, as well as the elements; too much sunbathing, exposure to wind or extreme temperatures. Although you may not like the look of them, thread veins aren't dangerous, but they tend to become larger and increase in number over time. Most spider veins aren't painful but they can cause us embarrassment.

Spider veins are like varicose veins, but smaller and nearer to the surface of the skin but while there's surgery to treat the larger varicose veins, laser treatment can help with the smaller veins. The safest, most effective treatment for spider veins is laser treatment.


The benefits of laser treatment include:
*  A fast and safe way to eradicate the thread veins on the legs
*  Thread veins will only recur in a small percentage of cases
*  Laser treatment can help to restore your self-confidence
*  Ongoing improvements seen after each treatment

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, during the treatment a laser gets applied to the skin directly above the spider veins. The energy from the laser is preferentially absorbed by coloured tissues and the energy causes the spider veins to heat up and collapse. After treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins.

Streamline Inner & Outer Thighs With Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The inner and outer thighs can become a problem area for lots of women, making them feel uncomfortable about displaying their legs in public, but the legs are often key to a shapely figure. Lots of us have lumps and bumps on our outer thighs which can really knock our confidence when we want to wear smooth, tight-fitting clothes that show off our figure.

The thighs are a notorious area of the body that are prone to storing excess fat, making it tricky when trying to find a pair of trousers that will comfortably fit both the upper, and lower half of the legs. Women tend to store fat on their thighs, making it hard for them to get a toned, smooth silhouette, and although the legs can look relatively slim throughout, the inner and outer thighs might be out of proportion to the rest of the body.


Fat deposits sitting anywhere on the body can make any weight loss difficult to achieve and traditional weight loss methods sometimes aren't enough to get rid of small pockets of stubborn fat. Excess fat on the legs can make you feel uncomfortable, but when it comes to streamlining the body, there are techniques and treatments available to help you to reach your goals.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can successfully remove stubborn localised pockets of fat, and improve the overall shape and contours of your thighs using Vaser Lipo. This treatment helps to create a natural silhouette that's suits the body and gives results that are dimple-free and symmetrical.

Vaser benefits:
  • Once Vaser removes the fat, it won't return in that area
  • It's a walk-in, walk-out procedure
  • Minimal downtime and minimal time needed off work
  • A specialised technique designed to minimise any discomfort and bruising
  • The procedure uses local anaesthetic
  • Transforms your legs in a single procedure
  • Good skin retraction is possible


Vaser Lipo uses waves of ultrasound to send vibrations through the targeted area. After an anaesthetic solution gets injected, the thin Vaser probe gets inserted into the treatment area, and ultrasound energy targets the fat cells just under the top layer of skin. This liquefies the fat cells, gently breaking them up, before they are suctioned out with a cannula. The tiny incisions into the treatment area are usually made in the natural creases of the skin making them virtually unnoticeable afterwards. 

With Vaser Lipo treatment it's possible to shape your legs however you like. The recovery times are short, and the pain during the procedure is minimal as it's performed in a safe, non-invasive way, that leaves everything but the fat cells untouched, and undamaged.

Lip Filler To Define Your Lips & Restore Lost Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When you feel that your lips don't quite fit in with the other features of your face, or maybe you think you would like a better lip shape, well, you are not alone. One part of the face which attracts lots of attention is the mouth area, most especially the lips. As we get older, our skin becomes thinner and has less definition, and this can cause the lips to shrink, making you feel that your lips have lost their natural pout.

Lots of people aren't happy with their lips. They may feel they aren't symmetrical, or maybe they want just want fuller lips to enhance their appearance. Lip enhancement generally involves outlining and defining the lip border and lip augmentation involves making the body of the lips fuller. Lip filler treatment can either use both of these processes, or just give definition or just add volume, the choice is yours.


At Selston Cosmetic Clinic one of our expert practitioners Dr Bassi or Dr Keiron, will expertly inject the fillers to balance out the lips and give natural looking results. Lips can start out thin and barely noticeable, and change into a sensual fuller look after just one visit to the cosmetic clinic. Lip fillers can smooth out fine lines around the mouth, define the edges and enhance and balance your facial features, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Before any treatment you will need to talk to your cosmetic doctor. During your consultation you must make the doctor aware of your preferences and let them know the result you want to end up with after the treatment. You can always ask to see before and after photo's of the clinics previous work on clients who have had lip enhancements.

Lip filler treatments will:
  • Restore lost volume and shape
  • Give more symmetry to the facial features
  • Boost confidence in regard to their appearance

Dermal fillers can enhance the overall volume of the lips and by inserting the fillers around the lip edge, will help to improve the contour and shaping of the lips. We use hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers, which is a substance that's non animal based and is naturally found in the body.

At Selston, lip fillers are one of the most popular treatments, due to their ability to give you a fuller pout and give you back the lip volume you had when you were younger. So whether you wish to either, define your lips or restore lost volume by adding plumpness, then this treatment will definitely be the right one for you.

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.

Rejuvenate An Ageing Face With A Liquid Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As the years go by, we begin to notice signs of ageing as they start showing on our face. Ageing brings about many changes in the face and we'll start to notice fine lines and wrinkles and dull, tired skin as the skin loses collagen and elasticity and starts to sag. We also lose volume, and this makes the cheeks and temples look flatter and hollow, the lips can become thinner and less defined and troughs can appear beneath the eyes. Wrinkles and fine lines will also, sooner or later make their presence felt.

With so many treatments available to rejuvenate the skin we can find very hard to know which one is the best for us. The liquid facelift has made a big impact during the past few years, aiming to treat the upper, mid and lower areas of the face, to create a refreshed, balanced appearance that is subtle and entirely natural looking. The non-surgical liquid facelift procedure uses injectable treatments; botox to ease the look of wrinkles, folds and creases and strategically placed dermal fillers to help increase the volume and the shape of your face.


Botox
We use botox injections to freshen up the face, softening fine lines and wrinkles and eliminating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows. Strategically placed, botox can also give you an eye lift and lift the corners of the mouth.

Dermal fillers
Dermal Fillers injections will add volume to fill out the hollows in the cheeks, the troughs under the eyes, they'll plump up the lips and create a softly contoured, more youthful-looking face. Some of the most ageing lines and creases on the face are in the area between the nose and mouth, but they can easily be corrected with dermal fillers.


When using dermal fillers and botox injections together, it's now possible for a skilled cosmetic doctor to help you look younger and more refreshed within the hour. The liquid facelift treatments will restore the skin and the facial contours to its former youthfulness, and after the treatment you'll not only appreciate your reflection in the mirror, but you'll also get a boost in your self-confidence.

A liquid facelift can address many of the signs of ageing, without the need for invasive cosmetic surgery. It's a quick and effective treatment that's minimally invasive and is a walk in, walk out procedure. It has long-lasting results and a short recovery time with only minimal swelling and bruising.

Remove Chin Fat With Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Many people struggle with excess fat in the area under the chin, which is commonly called a double chin. It's very hard to hide a fatty chin and neck unless you keep your head held high all the time, trying to make your profile more flattering. And concealing it with clothing is only possible if you want to spend the rest of your life wearing polo neck jumpers or constantly having a scarf wrapped around your neck.

Having a double chin doesn't have to mean that you're overweight. Slim women are just as susceptible to getting a double chin as anyone else because of genetics, water retention or bad eating habits. Double chins and sagging jowls can affect anybody regardless of their body type, shape and size, and they can be very hard to get rid of.


A double chin can appear slowly due to a lack of exercise. Fat can settle under your chin when you put on weight and unfortunately it's not possible to spot reduce just your chin, so you'll need to lose weight and focus on reducing all of your body fat to lose your double chin. That said, there aren't any certainties that if you put on weight you'll gain a double chin or that if you lose weight, your double chin will go.

When there's a stored layer of fat directly underneath the chin, it can really affect the self-confidence for a lot of adults. Vaser liposuction is specially tailored to work well, even on small areas of fat, and is often considered a good choice for delicate areas such as the chin because it's able to target specific fat, without damaging the surrounding nerves.


The vaser lipo procedure begins with a saline solution injected into the chin, which will numb the area making it a painless process. Following the injection, small incisions are then made in the chin, and a small ultrasonic probe gets inserted, and this probe gives off high frequency energy to loosen the fat cells and smooth them, and the fat can then be removed from the chin using a gentle suction technique.

As the chin is such a small area, the vaser procedure should only take about thirty minutes and the recovery time is also short. You will need to wear a compression garment on your chin for a short period after your treatment.
