Rejuvenate Your Face with a Vampire Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin looks is often the biggest indicator to show how we're ageing. As well as acquiring fine lines, as we get older, the skin can take on a grey tone making the face look tired, and too much sun exposure and acne scars can make the skin look worn. As we age, our skin will lose its youth glow because the blood supply to our face diminishes, causing our skin to lose its colour, making it look dull. 

Treatment areas for PRP

Over time the skin's texture becomes less smooth, the delicate skin beneath the eyes becomes thinner and we often gain fine lines and wrinkles. Platelet rich Plasma Therapy, (PRP) also called a vampire facelift is a treatment which uses the natural ingredients of your blood to rejuvenate tired and ageing skin.

Non-surgical vampire facelift treatment is ideal for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Signs of ageing on the hands
• Minimising lines around the mouth
• Smoothing wrinkles across the nose
• Softening wrinkles and frown lines
• Dull skin due to less blood flow
• Smooth and uneven skin texture
• Tighten sagging or loose skin
• Reducing acne scarring

PRP is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses the growth factors in your blood to improve the texture and tone of your skin. During the treatment a small amount of blood gets extracted and is then treated in a centrifuge to harvest the platelet rich plasma. It's then re-injected into the required treatment area, where it will stimulate new collagen formation, restoring volume to the skin, filling out fine lines and wrinkles, and encouraging the body to repair the ageing skin from the inside out.

Benefits of skin rejuvenation with PRP:

• Overall rejuvenation for the skin
• Any allergic reaction is minimal, as PRP is a natural cosmetic treatment derived from your own body
• It's highly recommended because of its natural elements
• It gives dull, dry and loose skin new life by stimulating collagen formation and elastin
• Results from a PRP treatment are long-lasting and can last for up to two years

A vampire facelift is great skin rejuvenating option because as the blood is the patient's own, so there aren't any foreign materials injected and this lowers any risk of allergies and infections. This procedure has a fast healing time and you'll only experience minimal bruising and slight swelling.

This treatment can promote skin rejuvenation especially around the eyes, reducing the lines and wrinkles. It's ideal for the hands, which often show signs of ageing sooner than other areas of the body, and on the neck and chest. The treatment simply helps rejuvenate the skin, restoring volume and collagen formation.

Get a Better Skin Tone & Texture with Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin becomes vulnerable to a fair amount of damage throughout the years, some things like injury scars, sun damage and pock marks left over from acne, as well as the loss of collagen and elastin due to general ageing, and all these things can make the skin start to look tired and worn.

Skin damage builds up and over time and it can cause your skin texture to become uneven, the skin's surface can show scars and can even start to look discoloured. You can vastly improve your skin by exfoliating, making the skin look softer, and giving it a more even surface, and this will help any cosmetic skin treatments to work better and will also provide a better base to apply your make-up on.

We can exfoliate the skin in different ways:

We can use a traditional exfoliating scrub twice a week. A facial scrub has tiny, sand-like particles which will smooth away any rough areas as you gently apply it, and this will remove any dead skin cells on your skin and uncover new ones, leaving your skin feeling soft and looking flawless.

Liquid exfoliators use acid to take away the dead skin, dissolving the glue-like substance that bonds the dead skin cells. These acid based products clean deep within the pores and some of them can boost hydration, cell turnover and collagen production. The skin naturally sheds cells daily, however, by applying face products and make-up every day means we sometimes halt this process, but using acids every day can copy the natural process.

Microdermabrasion treatment at a cosmetic clinic can go more in-depth, going deeper than your typical facial scrub. The treatment uses medical grade crystals that we vacuum across the outer surface of the skin at a high speed, using a hand-held device. The superfine crystals will smooth away fine lines, and reduce pigment irregularities on the surface of the skin, stimulating an increase in cell turnover, and giving you a brightness to your complexion.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetic medical procedures performed today. It's an ideal treatment for the skin because it uses non-allergenic crystals, which is good for any skin that's sensitive to chemicals. Microdermabrasion is a safe non-surgical treatment which doesn't present any risks when it's performed by a qualified practitioner. This treatment can easily be done in a lunchtime and is one which will allow you to return to your normal activities on the same day

Enhance Your Nose Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our noses are one of the main focal points of our face, making any bumps, dents and kinks instantly noticeable. Some people are happy in their own skin and think this gives their face character and individuality, but there are also those who do mind having an imperfect nose. So if your nose doesn't make you happy, there are ways to correct and enhance it non-surgically.

Whether you have an uneven or bumpy nose because of an accident, maybe you've broken your nose in a sports injury or maybe you were just born with it, if it's causing you concern, then a non-invasive nose job, or liquid nose job as it's sometimes called, can give you the nose you've always wanted.

Dermal filler treatment on the nose:

• Treatment on the nose takes about one hour
• It's possible to reshape and enhance the nose in various ways
• Results are temporary and can easily be altered
• Minimally painless procedure, using topical numbing cream before the injections
• Minimal swelling
• Normal activities can resume the next day
• The cost is less than surgical rhinoplasty
• Results can last for up to a year

Precisely placed filler injections can plump up the area around the bump and straightening the nose, and by making the nose look straighter, the dermal filler treatment can make the nose appear smaller. Other improvements achieved with fillers include smoothing small indentations, creating a straighter looking nasal bridge and increasing the height and definition, and lifting a drooping nose tip. Dermal fillers are not permanent and are naturally broken down and dispersed into your the body over time. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a cosmetic treatment only, it can't make the size of the nose smaller, or correct problems with the nose, such as breathing difficulties.

There will only be minimal discomfort during the non-surgical nose job, as numbing cream gets applied before the treatment, and most dermal fillers also contain a local anaesthetic, which means you should only feel a light sting on your skin during the injection procedure. Nose enhancement treatments are a walk in, walk out treatment which are usually completed within the hour. The treatment is suitable for those that aren't ready for a permanent invasive surgical procedure and those who aren't totally sure about the results they are looking for.

Contour the Body with Vaser Lipo Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Worries and insecurities about our body can make us feel disheartened, and can even give us a negative body image, so a healthy, active lifestyle is essential to get our body fit and into the shape we want. Sometimes though, it might feel we're not getting anywhere, and this can make it hard to stay motivated. 

Vaser lipo is a powerful treatment, ideal to remove fat from large areas of the body, while being gentle enough to treat delicate areas; a versatile treatment that's designed to treat all areas of the body. Vaser helps to create better contours because the fat is liquefied before it's removed, meaning there's less damage to the surrounding tissue and minimal blood loss.

Popular areas for treatment include:

• The waist or flanks (love handles)
• Tummy and abs
• Back bulges (bra fat)
• Outer thighs (saddlebags)
• Reshape and slim down the inner thighs
• Man boobs

Vaser isn't a solution for weight loss, more a sculpting process, removing fat from the parts of the body that have a disproportionate amount of fat, smoothing out the body, creating curves and contours and enhancing your muscular definition. Once you've got your body into the shape you want, the more likely you are to work really hard to keep it that way. Vaser is a great way to enhance your appearance and self-confidence giving you a more defined silhouette. It targets fat reduction from specific parts of the body which are causing concern. 

• Candidates for vaser lipo
• People who have fat that's resistant to diet and exercise
• Those who are reasonably fit and have moderate amounts of fat
• People who want improved definition of muscles and better contouring of the body
• Those with good abdominal muscle mass and tone
• People with good skin elasticity and a small amount of visceral fat
• Those who are generally in good health
• Both men and women can benefit from vaser lipo

The procedure is minimally invasive, and you stay awake and comfortable throughout. Depending on how many  areas are being treated, the procedure can take as little as one hour or up to several hours. It's the best way to get rid of that last bit of unwanted fat, and sculpt and define the body. Clients will see an immediate result after the treatment; however the results will continue to improve. Any swelling usually subsides after four to six weeks, with the best result being seen after six months.

Remove Unwanted Hair with Laser Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of women and men feel concerned about the excessive amount of hair they find growing on different parts of their body, however, there are a number of options available for them to consider if they want to remove this unwanted hair. They might consider different methods like; shaving, depilatory creams, waxing, plucking or electrolysis, but one of the most popular cosmetic procedures used today is Laser Hair Removal.

Shaving, waxing, threading and creams can turn into a time-consuming lifetime chore, and these treatments often cause annoying skin irritations, ranging from mild to severe, and they can last for days or weeks. These methods can cause cuts, nicks, redness, scales, bumps on the skin and ingrown hairs, making Laser treatment the best way to get rid of unwanted hair, as there are no ingrown hairs, no shaving rash and no excruciating ripping out of hairs.

You can have Laser treatment anywhere on the body, and the Laser machine can quickly and safely treat both small areas and large areas. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic our advanced Laser system uses a focused beam of light and heat which penetrates the hair follicle at its root to stop hair growth, but which won't harm the surrounding skin. The Laser has a cooled sapphire window on the Laser Scope to further protect and cool the surface of the skin, while still letting the Laser light heat the hair follicle beneath the skin.

Anyone with unwanted hair can benefit from Laser Hair Removal including:

* Those with an underlying medical condition which causes excess hair growth in women, especially on the face and arms. 

* People with dark hair can suffer from excess hair growth. Dark haired women may suffer from unwanted hair appearing on their upper lip, and the hair on the forearms can appear thick, due to its very dark colour. 

* Those who regularly remove hair as part of their everyday grooming routine.

* Men with excess chest hair and back hair can opt for Laser treatment, instead of painful waxing. 

Laser Hair Removal is the best way to get rid of unwanted hair on a long-term basis. Laser treatment will target the follicle, literally tackling the root of the problem. It's considered that Laser treatment is one of the most successful methods of hair removal invented, as it has a lasting and permanent effect, compared to other traditional hair removal methods.

Vaser Lipo Treatment at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Before undergoing any cosmetic procedures to remove unwanted fat, you should try to lose as much excess fat as you can. Eating healthily and exercising in the months before Vaser Lipo will make sure that you get the best results possible from your treatment. Before you have Vaser Lipo treatment you will need a consultation, where you'll be able to talk in detail to the doctor about why you want Vaser, which technique he'll use, the length of recovery time and your expected results.

The doctor who's doing your procedure will look at your body to see which areas you're unhappy with and he'll tell you what results you can realistically expect. At the consultation, you can ask to view the portfolio of his earlier Vaser clients, looking at the before and after photos so you can see for yourself the results he has already achieved, and the difference it's made to their bodies.

To prepare yourself and your body for Vaser Lipo treatment the doctor will give you a list of things for you to follow, to give you the best chance for amazing results:

It's a medical fact that smoking slows down blood flow to the skin, increasing the risk of circulation problems after Vaser treatment and this could affect your results. Ideally, it would be better to stop smoking cigarettes altogether, but if you can't manage to do so then it's advisable to quit smoking at least two months before your procedure. If you smoke it can cause poor wound healing, which could make your recovery time longer.

Medications can interfere with your body's blood clotting ability, so it's best to let the doctor know which tablets and supplements you're taking. At least two weeks before your Vaser Lipo treatment you should stop taking any cold and sinus medication, vitamin E tablets, nutritional supplements and non-steroidal inflammatory medication.

If you're having Vaser Lipo treatment on a large area then you should prepare in advance for your recovery time. After your treatment you'll need to arrange time off work, and make sure you put off any physically demanding responsibilities until your recovery is complete. At the start of your recovery, you might need to have someone on hand to give you some help.

Before your Vaser procedure make sure you stock up on the necessary post-procedure supplies, including pain relief medication, compression garments and bandages. If you are living alone you will need a good supply of food, toiletries and pain relief. You don't want to run out of supplies if there's nobody around to help replenish them.

Vaser Lipo is a form of body contouring, which sculpts the body to the desired look. In conjunction with a heathy diet and lifestyle, the results of Vaser are permanent and can last a lifetime.

Reduce Facial Lines & Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days most women are taking better care of their skin than ever before, and the only thing giving away their age are the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, resulting from sun damage, genetics or the simple passage of time. Every facial expression we make will make an impression on our skin, and as the skin around the eyes is so delicate, the constant movement means the overlying skin is repeatedly stretched and folded and eventually the lines will become permanent.

Our skin radiates light when we're young, but as we get older it accumulates damage, becomes dull and starts showing fine lines. Constant use of facial muscles when smiling, frowning and talking, as well as changes in your skin with age, will inevitably lead to the start of wrinkles which then get ingrained on your face.

Contraction of the underlying muscles on the face will cause the overlying skin to contort repeatedly, forming furrows and wrinkles on the skin. Fortunately this can easily be treated non-surgically with Botox, which can treat facial lines and wrinkles in a subtle and natural way, helping to restore the glow to our skin and youthfulness back on our face.

We use Botox for:

• Smoothing wrinkles and folds
• Forehead worry lines
• Between the brows frown lines
• Crows feet at the sides of the eyes
• Vertical lines around the lips
• Dimpling of the chin

Static wrinkles are lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed, staying there after you’ve finished making a facial expression. These lines aren't the best candidates for Botox treatment, as injections can soften these lines but not always get rid of them. Botox treatments are best for dynamic wrinkles which appear with facial expressions such as frowning. Facial wrinkles and lines can easily be softened without changing your overall appearance, resulting in a more relaxed, rested and rejuvenated appearance.

If you are considering having treatment, it's essential to choose a fully trained, qualified practitioner to inject the Botox into your face. A good practitioner is someone who has a good knowledge of facial anatomy and has performed facial aesthetics for several years. A face to face consultation is essential, so they can answer any questions while taking note of your aesthetic concerns, preferences and your desired results. The practitioner will also discuss the risks, which can include allergic reactions, bruising and minimal swelling.

Vaser Lipo to Remove Fat From the Knees & Thighs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Diet and exercise will help to lose weight from around the body, but sometimes we might find it difficult to lose fat in specific places and this is when a Vaser Lipo procedure is a good solution. The legs are a popular choice for Vaser Lipo treatment as the unwanted fat usually settles on the thighs before anywhere else, leaving them with lumps and imperfections and making us self-conscious about how we look.

Inner and Outer Thighs

Unevenly distributed fat can settle on the inner and outer thighs which can cause both embarrassment and discomfort when the constant rubbing of the inner thighs leads to sore and irritated skin. For women, the thighs are often key to a shapely figure, but sometimes the outer and inner thighs can look out of proportion to the rest of their body, making it difficult to find clothes that fit properly, which can leave them feeling self-conscious. Vaser treatment on the outer thighs counts as one treatment, and treatment on the inner thighs is another and to get the best results you might need to get both areas treated, either both areas together or during separate appointments.

Outer thighs before and after          //          Inner thigh before and after

Knees

Unfortunately, men and women who already have a slim and toned body can get excess fat on their legs, and this can accumulate on and around the knees. It's unwise to have Vaser treatment on the knees alone, if you also have unwanted fat on the thighs as the result will end up looking out of proportion. Vaser Lipo treatment on the knees acts more as a contouring procedure.

Vaser Lipo on the knees before and after

Vaser Lipo is a gentle, effective way of removing unwanted fat in many areas and removes more fat than traditional liposuction. It's important to keep the body's natural proportions in mind when removing fat from any parts of the body, as this will help to create a silhouette to suit that person's body and shape. After treatment you'll need lymphatic drainage massages and need to wear a compression garment for three to six weeks.

Vaser Lipo on the legs is a highly effective treatment and it can quickly help you get slimmer, more shapely toned legs. Vaser Lipo is a minimally invasive treatment using ultrasound energy which is powerful enough to remove fat from large areas of the body and gentle enough to take fat from small, delicate places like the arms, chin and knees.

Restore Lip Volume & Shape Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Fine lines around the mouth and thinning lips are an inevitable result of ageing. Lost volume and structure can easily be recreated with dermal filler treatment, which will restore the lips and give them a natural, youthful look. Fillers will enhance the mouth area and give definition and shape, correcting any asymmetry and restoring lost volume.

Looking at our lips we might notice vertical lines, these are also called smokers' lines or lipstick lines and they start forming when we repeatedly pucker up the lips when smoking, drinking through straws and pouting. Any repetitive movements will eventually show on the face as fine lines and wrinkles. Loss of volume also has an effect on the lips and as we get older this can make the lips look thinner and flatter.

Some of us were born with naturally thin lips, and others have lips that have become thinner through ageing. As we age, our collagen production slows down and this can cause the lips to lose volume. Thinner lips can make us look less vibrant and older than we actually are, but dermal fillers will give us back the volume, giving us the luscious lips we would like to have. So if we've always had thin lips, or they've just become that way with age, dermal fillers can restore them.

Lip lines are the fine vertical wrinkles that develop just above the lips that show up when we purse our mouth when smoking or drinking through straws, but they start to become a more permanent fixture as we get older. We use light botox treatment to treat these pucker lines.

Smile lines are also known as nasolabial folds and they are the folded wrinkles that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Dermal fillers are ideal for smoothing these lines away.

Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth to the chin and are similar to smile lines. Dermal filler can correct these lines.

Dermal fillers are a perfect cosmetic treatment to enhance the lips. There are many people who are unhappy with their lips, wanting more volume, a better shape, more definition of the border or to have more definition on the cupid's bow. A good cosmetic doctor will give you subtle, natural-looking results without them looking like they've had any treatment.

Dermal filler injections are completely controlled, letting the client choose if they want a subtle, in-between or more dramatic look. Lip fillers can prevent and improve the signs of ageing, leaving us happy to enjoy younger-looking, plumper lips for longer.

Remove Fat & Define Muscles With Vaser Lipo & Hi Def Vaser - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's easy to see why some people might start feeling insecure about their body, when they are constantly seeing slim and toned men and women on tv, in magazines and on social media, and seeing these endless photo's of so-called perfect physiques can make us believe that our bodies just can't measure up.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic this client had a rather large tummy and we were not expecting the best of results. His fat was hard and solid and we were just looking to reduce it. Look at the difference Vaser Lipo and the correct after care has made to his body shape.

Vaser Lipo before and after

Vaser Lipo treatment on the stomach and abdominal area is an ideal way to slim down areas of the body and a way to get muscle definition, especially if you are insecure about your tummy. Vaser Lipo is a minimally invasive treatment which will leave you with dramatic results after just one treatment. After Vaser treatment, men and women will feel comfortable with their shape and silhouette, feeling confident enough to show off more of their body, able to get back to wearing slim-fitting shirts and form-fitting summer dresses again.

When you don't get the results you want by exercising and healthy eating, then Vaser Lipo can help by removing those resistant pockets of fat that you just can't lose and producing smooth results in the treated areas. The practitioner will use local anaesthetic with your procedure, allowing you to leave the clinic just a few hours after the treatment.

Vaser Lipo uses ultrasound energy to melt the unwanted fat, before it gets removed through a thin tube called a cannula. Removing liquidised fat is especially useful in areas with dense fat or larger volumes of fat. The Vaser Lipo procedure is tissue-selective, targeting only the fat while protecting the surrounding tissues from any damage, leaving only minimal bruising and swelling. Vaser is minimally invasive with excellent recovery times and unlike traditional liposuction, there's no nasty scarring or drooping skin after the treatment.

Vaser Hi Def gave our client a better result than he had thought possible and a confidence in his new body that he had previously lacked. The procedure was quick, easy and not at all uncomfortable, which he hadn't expected, ultimately making his whole experience with us much more enjoyable.

Vaser Hi Def before and after

Vaser Lipo treatment can give you a flat, toned tummy but if you are after a sculptured athletic look, then you'll need Vaser Hi-Def which is a high-definition treatment using an advanced body sculpting technique. This treatment not only takes away unwanted fat, it also removes the fat around the muscle groups, giving the muscles definition. The sculpting of deep and superficial fat will make the underlying muscles seem more distinct. Vaser Hi-Def is an ideal treatment for anyone who's in relatively good shape and wants a more defined body.

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

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

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

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

  

Ageing will cause:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Replace Volume & Enhance The Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby,Mansfield & Chesterfield

High cheekbones are a sign of youth and beauty, but as we age the cheeks can start to lose volume, and though loose skin often gets the blame for facial ageing, it's the loss of volume that's really the main cause.

The structure of our face changes as we grow older, not just the skin's quality but also the underlying support, including the bones, muscles and the fat. The face can begin to shrink in some places which makes the fat and muscle become thinner and more elastic, and gravity will cause fat to slide downwards, leading to jowls and nasolabial lines from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth.

People have different face shapes, some have flat cheeks, others have high cheekbones or maybe they might have apple cheeks. If someone's said to have a baby face they will typically have fuller cheeks, which can make them look younger than others of a similar age. Genetics can decide the shape of the cheeks, as well as bone structure, muscle and fat distribution. The reason some people have full, defined apple cheeks and others have cheeks that are flat is down to gravity. It's a pad of fat under the cheeks which causes the fullness, and it's this that tends to slide lower down the face as we get older.

Hollows in the cheeks are caused by loss of fat from beneath the skin, which on a more mature face can look very ageing. Cheek enhancement by a cosmetic practitioner can restore the fullness using dermal fillers. A subtle enhancing of your cheeks can create the kind of bone structure which we all want to show off.

Benefits of cheek filler injections:

* Treatment uses safe market-leading dermal fillers
* Free consultation with a practitioner who is highly trained in aesthetic facial treatments
* Quick treatment time and immediate results
* Virtually pain-free treatment, as a topical anaesthetic numbs the area being treated
* Minimal bruising and down time
* Excellent after care treatment

Many people think that high cheekbones are a very attractive facial feature and adding volume with dermal filler can give the face a natural-looking symmetry, balance, and a more feminine appearance. Cheek augmentation can enhance your facial contours and balance your features. Dermal fillers can also reshape the face, reducing signs of ageing and by adding volume to the cheeks it will give the face a natural-looking symmetry, and a youthful balance.

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

The harsh winter winds, freezing rain and lack of sunshine can affect your skin condition, making your complexion look dull and lifeless. The end of winter is an ideal time to spring-clean your cosmetics and skin care products. There are a great number of creams, lotions and serums for the skin, and it's important to reassess your products and adapt your facial routines to suit the season we are in.

There are some things you can do to make your skin look it's best, and sorting out your facial products is a start. Firstly, you should decide which cosmetic items you no longer want or use and throw them away. Check out the expiry date on all of your creams and lotions, as any that are old or past their sell by date could actually be harbouring harmful bacteria, which can lead to clogged pores and dull skin. All skin care products have a certain shelf life, so if you don't use them, get rid of them. Accessories can also store unwanted germs and viruses, so you should ideally wash your make-up brushes weekly with hand soap, using a hair-dryer to dry them out.

Daily skin care products you wear in the winter months are thicker and heavier than you use in the warmer months, because in spring and summer you tend to use moisturisers and creams that are lighter in texture. You should also change the type of products you use, as what worked for your skin in your twenties, won't necessarily work as well for more mature skin as you get older.

To stimulate cell turnover, to get rid of dead skin cells and to make your skin smoother and healthier so it's ready to absorb your moisturiser and face creams, you should exfoliate your skin two to three times a week. A deep exfoliation treatment will strip away dull, tired skin, revealing the new fresh skin underneath. Removing the outer skin cells which are dead and damaged, will show the new skin, just in time for spring.

If you feel that your skin is looking dull and tired, a visit to a skin care professional for a deep cleansing facial treatment will revitalise your skin and brighten up your complexion. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments will strip back the skin's dead layers, targeting sun-damaged skin, blocked pores and fine lines, getting your skin ready for creams and lotions to penetrate deeper, as well as giving your skin a revitalising treatment, and leaving you looking rejuvenated.

Remove Unwanted Fat with Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we lose fat though dieting and exercising we mostly find it comes off evenly from all over the body according to your body's natural shape, and though dieting may help to reduce fat, some stubborn pockets of wobbly fat can stay on the body after weight loss. Our body shape and the places where we store fat is partly genetic, but it also changes with age.

Excess fat can accumulate in unwanted areas, altering your shape, causing you to feel uncomfortable in your body and affecting your confidence. If you are overweight and want to lose your excess fat, you'll need to lose fat from all around the body as it's impossible to target just one area alone.

It seems a lot easier to lose excess body fat when you are younger, but with willpower and the right diet and exercise, older people can also lose their unwanted fat, although some fat is almost impossible to fully shift with ordinary exercise routines.

Vaser Lipo is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, helping many people to improve their body, giving them a more desirable, firmer, attractive body shape. It gets fast results, and is especially good if you have tried to diet and exercise without any long-term success. Vaser is a minor cosmetic procedure, ideal if you have lost confidence in your body and want to improve your shape. It's the ideal treatment to help both men and women find an effective way to help them reach their body goals.

Vaser Lipo facts:
* The treatment should always be done by a doctor
* A small incision is necessary to insert the Vaser cannulas
* A certain amount of bruising on the skin will happen after the procedure
* There may be discomfort during the treatment, and there might be some minor pain afterwards
* You'll have either local or general anaesthesia during the procedure
* Possibility of minor scars, which can easily be hidden in skin creases
* Walk in walk out treatment, the procedure takes a few hours depending on the area
* You will need one post op visit to the clinic
* Wearing a compression garment after the treatment is necessary to achieve smooth, lasting results

The Vaser procedure is a minimally invasive treatment, it has a fast recovery time which causes less trauma to the body than traditional liposuction. Vaser Lipo offers many advantages over traditional liposuction treatments, using advanced ultrasound technology to emulsify the fat, which is then gently suctioned out, all done while using local anaesthetic. If you've struggled with weight gain, and exercise and healthy eating aren't working the way you'd like, then Vaser Lipo is an ideal treatment to get the dramatic transformation you've been looking for, as well as improving your self-esteem and giving you more confidence.

Enhance Your Face With Semi-Permanent Make-Up - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you have a busy, active lifestyle, applying make-up every day can take up a great amount of your time. Most women wear make-up; some to enhance their features, or to look and feel more glamorous, others wear it to cover up their imperfections. Applying make-up might be difficult if you're short-sighted or you might just need to have extra time in your day. Semi-permanent make-up can replicate your make-up so you don't have to apply it yourself every morning or have to retouch it during the day.

Applying permanent and semi-permanent cosmetics is a highly skilled craft, and for a beauty technician to produce the best results takes a lot of practice, training and skill. We all have unique facial features, face structure and skin tone, which can all influence the treatment in different ways.

The eyebrows frame your face adding instant lift, shape and contour. They might need enhancing for a number of reasons; through over plucking, because they're naturally thin or fair, or they might be sparse because of medical reasons. Brows treated with semi-permanent make-up tend to look darker in colour straight after the first treatment, but after time they'll become lighter. A new set of semi-permanent eyebrows can easily be created to rectify thinning eyebrows or just a few hair strokes can easily be added to fill in any gaps. You won't have to spend hours making sure they look symmetrical or worrying about over-plucking or which colours match your skin tone.

Everyone wants lovely looking lips with a healthy blush of colour, but trying to get beautifully shaped full lips with a lip liner and lipstick can sometimes be a challenge. It's time-consuming with constant re-applications throughout the day. Semi-permanent lip liner means no smeared lipstick on your teeth, or colour bleeding into the lip lines. You'll be able to keep up your favourite colour and shade and make your lips look thicker and fuller by creating symmetry.

Eyeliner comes in many colours and can give the eyes shape and definition. You can have anything from a soft, natural looking enhancement, a dramatic smoky effect, or a thicker defined line. Eyeliner can open up the eyes, and a soft line above or below the eye might make the eyelashes look darker and thicker. Semi-permanent make-up offers a choice of subtle enhancement or a more noticeable eyeliner. It can create definition to make your eyes stand out, enhance the natural shape of your eyes and achieve a symmetrical looking eyeliner.

Semi-permanent make-up is subtle and natural looking and doesn't wash away, smudge or disappear. The make-up pigment stays in the dermis, but it's also influenced by several things, including skin tones, environmental factors and sun exposure. The amount and the colour of pigment applied, can affect how long semi-permanent make-up looks its best on the skin. The colour can last for many years but the vibrancy will begin to fade over time. Natural subtle applications are more likely to need a touch-up before more the darker dramatic ones.

Advanced Laser Technology To Treat Acne Scarring - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We will all get acne on our face at least once during our lifetime, after all it's a common skin disorder. Every spot that appears on the skin is a form of acne, but some people are more prone to acne outbreaks, which will quite possibly leave some scarring on the skin. Acne affects people of all ages, but it's most common in young people, especially during early puberty. These outbreaks are very common for both men and women from their twenties to their forties, although it does occur outside of this age range.

Lots of things can cause acne; a bad diet, stress and chocolate, but it's genetics, hormones, clogged up pores and bacteria which are the main causes. Usually, we think it's teens who have to deal with facial acne, but unfortunately lots of adults also suffer with it, with many people having acne breakouts in their thirties, forties, and even fifties. 

• As we grow up, the body starts to develop and this causes an increase in hormones. 
• Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum and these glands can become overactive, causing the pores of the skin to become clogged with excess oil or sebum, causing acne.
• Blackheads and white heads occur when plugs block the top layer of the pores.
• When acne becomes inflamed the contents become hot and infected, causing the bacteria blockage to rupture through the skin's surface.

Correct medical treatment can treat acne scarring, but there are things we can do to help prevent the causes and discomforts of acne, before it has the chance to leave any scars.

• Food allergies can cause some outbreaks of acne. Cut out the food you think might trigger your acne for a few weeks, and look for alternatives.
• Harsh ingredients in soaps can dry out and irritate the skin leading to acne breakouts. Try using a gentle cleanser for the face and make sure you don't scrub the skin too hard.
• Avoid touching your face, as throughout the day our hands pick up dirt, germs and bacteria, transferring to the skin when we touch our face, which can cause the pores to clog up. If you pop and squeeze your pimples, it will only make them worse because you're passing the bacteria from one part of the face to another and risk causing scarring.
• Water is very important to the body, and drinking eight glasses of water a day will help to keep the body and skin hydrated. Drinking water will flush out the toxins in your system and cleanse your cells of built-up waste.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced laser technology to offer a safe and effective way for the treatment of mild to moderate acne scars. Our dual wavelength laser system is non ablative (the surface of the skin remains unchanged) so there's virtually no healing or recovery time. The gentle lasers reach deep down to the collagen level of the skin and the precise therapeutic laser energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres. This dramatically improves the appearance of acne scars. Laser treatment has a proven safety record and gives lasting results and there are no side effects.

Laser Skin Resurfacing to Treat Pigmentation - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & ChesterfieldTo

We get skin discolorations for a variety of reasons and the effects can become more obvious as we get older, getting worse if left untreated and unprotected. Pigmentation refers to changes in the melanin in the skin, but there are different types and they don't all respond to the same treatments.

There are a number of reasons that pigmentation can become visible on the skin;

• Excessive sun exposure causes pigmentation, due to the sun's damaging rays. The skin reacts to the UV (Ultra Violet) rays from the sun and the effects will only increase with age. Wearing sun protection daily, especially on your face is the best way to stop pigmentation from starting.
• Hyperpigmentation - There are cells in the skin that make melanin, which is responsible for the colour of the eyes and hair, as well as the colour of the skin. When the cells get damaged or are unhealthy we produce extra melanin, resulting in inconsistent dark colouration or blotches on the skin. Increased sun exposure will also darken any previous areas of hyperpigmentation.
• Hypopigmentation - When there's a decrease of melanin we'll see pale almost white patches appear on the skin. Vitiligo and albinism are skin conditions that cause hypopigmentation, for which unfortunately, there is no cure.
• Trauma, such as burns, acne, infections, or inflammation can cause increased pigment production. Skin peels and microdermabrasion when used inappropriately, and chemical treatments can have an adverse effect when applied incorrectly.
• Hormonal pigmentation - Oral contraceptive tablets can sometimes cause pigmentation, usually developing slowly after starting a course of the pills or if you change brand or dosage strength, but it might also occur after taking them for a long period of time.

Skin pigmentation is a common worldwide skin problem. Pigmentation refers to discolouration of the skin, and it's more likely to show up on those with light coloured skin, rather than those with dark skin tones. Pigmentation can occur either on the face or body, and it will appear more prominently as we get older, and this causes many people to look for a way to improve it.

Laser skin resurfacing, also known as fractional skin resurfacing is a highly effective treatment to fade, or take away unwanted skin pigmentation and irregularities, such as acne scars, freckles, spider or thread veins and sun damage. Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced laser technology, which offers a safe, effective and easy way to treat irregular pigmentation. Laser skin pigmentation treatment is safe for the face, hands, neck and chest and gets effective, outstanding results every time. There's no recovery time after treatment, and you can return to normal activities straight away.
