Straighten a Hooked or Bumpy Nose with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A good-looking face is about balance and proportion, and as the nose is a central feature it provides an aesthetic balance. The shape and size of your nose can have a massive effect on your overall appearance but if it's not in proportion, or has bumps or depressions, then it can easily make you feel self-conscious.

A non-surgical nose job is also known as a liquid nose job and is an ideal option for those who are unhappy with their nose shape, but don't necessarily want invasive surgery. A surgical nose job is not only expensive, but it also needs a long recovery of around twelve months, however, using dermal filler treatment means there's minimal downtime, the results are instant and there's no need for a general anaesthetic.

A liquid nose job using dermal fillers, is a great alternative that's available to those interested in improving, or just enhancing the shape of their nose without going through the pain, cost and recovery time that's associated with a surgical nose job. However, a nose treatment using fillers can't make the nose smaller, or correct deformities, but it can enhance the nose balance and correct asymmetry and give you a better profile.

The non-surgical nose job treatment begins with the doctor applying numbing cream to the outside of the nose. The doctor will then precisely inject dermal filler into the nose with an ultra fine needle. The dermal filler doesn't migrate or lump together in the tissues and when it does break down, it does so symmetrically and evenly. The filler injections will take anywhere between twenty to thirty minutes to complete. The procedure results aren't permanent and will need future top-up treatments.

With dermal filler injections the results are instant. After the treatment the treated area there might be slight redness or minor swelling, but you can resume normal activities, and return to work straight away. The results usually last eight to ten months, although the exact time will depend on the structure of your skin, your lifestyle and age.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a quick treatment with no cuts or scars. More people these days are taking extra pride in their appearance than ever before and cosmetic treatments are on the increase and growing in popularity. Injectable fillers are a great way to camouflage any minor flaws, improving the symmetry, and transforming your appearance.

Botox Injections To Stop Excess Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Warm weather is great for some people, but there are many others who dread it. We all sweat, it's a perfectly normal, healthy way to regulate the body temperature in hot weather and during times of exercise. When we get hot we'll sweat, and when the sweat evaporates, it cools us down. 

Sweating is a normal response to nervousness and anxiety, because our emotions can affect the sweat glands. Excessive sweating can cause us embarrassment and affect our self-confidence, and then worrying about it causes anxiety which in turn can make the sweating worse, bringing misery to those who suffer from it. 

There are a few things that you can do to keep your sweating to a minimum. You can use antiperspirants labelled as clinical strength. These usually have aluminium chloride as an active ingredient. You can also introduce more calcium into your diet, as calcium can slow down the sweating which will help to regulate body temperature and reduce perspiration.

A few factors about why you sweat:

• Gender - Women have more sweat glands than men, although they produce less sweat from each gland. Men sweat the most, especially during rigorous exercising.
• Body Mass - The higher a person's body mass index (BMI), the more they sweat, and as men are usually heavier and have more muscle mass than women, they tend to produce more heat than women do while exercising. 
• Alcohol - Too much alcohol consumption will raise the body temperature, causing you to sweat more. Alcohol will increase your heart rate and dilate the blood vessels, making your skin look flushed.
• Spicy Foods - When eating spicy foods the body temperature will go up, and your body will produce sweat to help cool itself down.
• Constant sweating - Those who experience excessive sweating are suffering from a condition known as Hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that causes people to perspire much more than is necessary to regulate their body temperature.
• Hot Weather - On warm days the body temperature will rise, making the heart rate and blood flow increase, trying to cool itself down. 

An excellent solution to excess sweating is botox treatment. Injections of botox to the places on the body affected by hyperhidrosis will help to reduce sweating in these areas by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands. 

Botox injections for hyperhidrosis is an excellent treatment with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. For those people who sweat a lot, we know how much inconvenience and embarrassing it can bring, making botox injections an ideal solution.

Restore Lost Volume In Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

None of us have perfect lips throughout our lifetime, so if you feel self-conscious that your lips have become thinner or they seem to disappear when you smile, then a lip augmentation might be the answer. It's an ideal treatment for those with thin lips or those who think having fuller lips will help to balance out their face.

If you're disheartened by a gradual loss in volume in the lips, or you'd prefer more definition in the shape or maybe you want a more defined border, then a cosmetic treatment using a small amount of filler can quickly rectify all your concerns. As we get older, we can notice a loss of plumpness in the lips, but this lost volume can easily be restored with dermal filler treatment.

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

Wrinkles
A lip filler injection will boost the hydration levels to the upper and lower lips, This will hydrate the lips as well as smoothing the fine lines and wrinkles.

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

Mouth and lip lines
The vertical lines around the mouth are a particular problem for women as it can cause lipstick bleed. Dermal fillers can soften these lines, enhancing the mouth area and giving it a more youthful look.

Shape
The edges of the lips will become less defined as we get older, as over time, the collagen and elastin breaks down and the lips lose their pouting shape, and lines begin to develop around the lips.

Undefined lips
Filler added to the vermilion border, improve the definition and minimize lip bleed and give a better outline.

Lip augmentation treatment will:

• Increase the volume
• Improve the outline and definition
• Achieve a more symmetrical look
• Enhance the contours of the lips
• Reduce lines and wrinkles 

Lip augmentation is a quick procedure with almost no downtime. Any side effects such as swelling, bruising or redness are temporary and will resolve within a few days. Any lumps or bumps can easily be gently massaged out and will settle within a couple of days. After filler treatment, you should keep your lips moisturised and use a moisturising sun block.

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

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

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

Before and after Profhilo injections

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:

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

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

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

Before and after dermal filler injections

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

Rejuvenate Your Skin With Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Profhilo is a new rejuvenating injectable treatment that's taking the cosmetic world by storm. It's an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing. Profhilo contains pure hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals, making it an extremely safe cosmetic treatment, with no risks. The slow release of hyaluronic acid injections stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, which results in significant improvement of tissue quality. It works by spreading into the skin tissue to improve elasticity, creating a lifting and tightening effect while at the same time improving the skin's appearance.

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not change the facial structure. We inject Profhilo into the superficial subcutaneous layer of skin in certain places and it disperses within twenty-four hours. These injections restore hydration and increase collagen production to give a youthfulness that no other injectable treatment can.

We use Profhilo to treat skin laxity and improve skin quality and the most popular areas that we treat are the face, neck, hands and décolleté. It's used to treat skin laxity and skin quality almost anywhere, and clients report an overall improvement in skin hydration, brightness, smoothness and firmness.

Profhilo doesn’t augment facial features as dermal fillers do, instead it improves the skin's quality through hydration, tone, texture, and lifting. It's a suitable treatment for skin that's thinning, tired, ageing and looking dull and dehydrated, as it will improve your overall skin’s laxity and bounce. Profhilo is ideal for those who need more than high-end skin care but aren’t quite ready for dermal fillers. It won’t change the way you look, or stop any facial expressions or movement, it will simply give you a healthy glow.

Before any treatment you'll have consultation and a visual assessment of your skin, and our cosmetic doctor will talk to you about your needs, hopes and expectations. This will give us a better understanding of which treatment you need and which places to inject to give you the best outcome, giving you a bespoke treatment plan that's entirely tailored to you.

The treatment might cause some discomfort but a topical anaesthetic cream application will numb the area. We inject Profhilo into five injection points on each side of the face, and the most sensitive places are around the lips and eyes as the skin is thinner and more sensitive in these areas. The treatment takes about thirty minutes and afterwards there’s a risk of bumps at the injection points and maybe some slight bruising as well, but this won't last very long.

Increase The Skin's Firmness & Elasticity with Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Once we have reached our thirties, our skin cells begin to lose collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This can cause a loss of volume in our face, and we can get dry skin and notice an increase of lines and wrinkles. If you're starting to show signs of ageing but aren’t quite ready to have dermal filler treatment, then Profhilo is an ideal way to refresh your skin and give it a youthful glow.

There's a new anti-ageing treatment called Profhilo, which is an injectable treatment and involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, making it an ideal treatment for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness through ageing. Smoking, stress, environmental factors and ageing, can cause the skin to begin losing its natural firmness and elasticity and Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. After this treatment there's a noticeable improvement straight away in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and the reduction of fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration. Profhilo, which is made up from hyaluronic acid gel, will increase facial fullness with a tightening and lifting effect, ​improving the skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance and increasing firmness and elasticity, resulting in a softer, healthier skin and a natural-looking appearance.

The treatment aims to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin growth
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve the skin's quality
• Hydrate the skin
• Brighten the complexion
• Tighten skin
• Lift and firm

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid gel with one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we inject Profhilo in five separate points on the face to restore lost volume and to give an overall rejuvenated look. Rather than just adding volume and filling wrinkles, the slow release of hyaluronic acid will stimulate collagen and elastin production, which in turn will improve skin tone, hydration and the appearance of fine lines.

Profhilo is not a better option to fillers, and vice versa. Both of these treatments provide different approaches, so there will be one treatment that works best for your skin and your desired results. Profhilo offers greater safety due to its high purity and the absence of additives, reducing any risks and side effects.

Profhilo treatment consists of two sessions, four weeks apart. After your treatment, the injection points maybe slightly raised but these usually settle after a couple of hours. Results are best noticed after two sessions a month apart, however clients tend to notice a significant difference after only one session.

Laser Treatment For Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

For women, one of the most embarrassing beauty issues is female facial hair, and whether it's dark, coarse hairs or a sprinkling of pale peach fuzz, it's always an unwanted problem. A bit of hair on the top lip, cheeks, hairline and chin is normal on women, although this hair is usually light and fair, making it quite difficult to see. It becomes a problem when the facial hair starts to get thicker and coarser, and that's usually when women look into having hair removal treatment.

Unwanted facial hair in women is a result of:

• Hormone imbalance.
• Genetic and ethnic predisposition.
• Underlying medical condition.
• Being overweight.
• Perimenopause and menopause

Most women spend valuable time trying to get rid of unwanted hair., whether it's the hair on the legs, bikini line, eyebrows, chin or the upper lip. We use a variety of methods, waxing, plucking, shaving, threading and bleaching, which are all time-consuming, irritating and painful, with regrowth coming back quickly and often thicker than before. But there is an alternative. Laser hair removal treatment offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair, which will save you both time and money in the long run.

Laser hair removal is a gentle and effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair from almost any area of the body, and it not only leaves smooth, natural looking skin, it's also the safest and most effective way to create permanent hair reduction, and has become the number one solution to removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal can give long-lasting results, and small and large areas can easily be treated quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Laser hair removal typically needs six to eight treatments but the exact number of treatments varies from person to person. The laser treatment is quick, a small area like the facial hair and the armpits can take as little as fifteen minutes, with larger areas like the back or legs taking up to forty-five minutes, depending on the size.

After you've had the laser treatment, you will experience shedding of the treated hair. At first, it might look as though the hair is growing back, but it's just coming through the skin and will shed. The shedding of the lasered hair begins a week after the treatment and it can last a for a further three weeks. To help speed up the shedding process you can exfoliate the areas gently as you shower.

Fill In Ageing Tear Troughs With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spending ages applying your make-up can feel such a waste of time when you then look in the mirror, and all you notice is how tired your eyes look. The area around the eyes has extremely thin skin, which means it's one of the first areas on the face to show ageing. As we age, the facial skeleton can shrink inwards, and everything resting on top of it will fall downwards, causing a hollowness around the eyes and creating shadows which can make us look exhausted.

Sunken eye hollows can cause you to feel disheartened when you notice the lost volume under the eyes. The volume loss can start in your early twenties, becoming more obvious as you age. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, and unfortunately they will inevitably worsen as you get older. 

Reasons we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes:

• Ageing
• The most common reason is that it's heredity
• The loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids 
• Collagen loss in the skin, due to age and sun damage
• A temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area caused by dehydration

The tear trough extends from the inner corner of the eye, making an arc shape and continuing on to the outer corner, like a crescent-shaped area under your eye. The delicate skin beneath your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow, and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or lack of sleep.

A pronounced dip under the eye creates shadows and can leave you looking tired and older than your years. Injecting dermal filler into the eye hollow can smooth the area, lessen the look of the dark circles and rejuvenate the area. Tear trough treatment places the dermal filler below the skin, which will lift up the tissues, replace the volume and will make the tear trough area seem more shallow.

There are many descriptions used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Bags
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles
• Tired eyes
• Tear troughs
• Under-eye hollows

Injecting dermal filler for tear trough treatment is almost painless, needing only a small application of local anaesthetic numbing cream twenty minutes before the injection treatment starts. The practitioner uses a cannula for tear trough injections, as this technique minimises bruising, and is a gentler technique. The recovery time is very quick, although patients may experience some redness and swelling, but this can easily be minimised and covered up with make-up.
