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

Losing weight seems to get harder as we get older and it can cause frustration when you exercise and eat right, but you're still not happy about the way you look. You might spend a lot of time in the gym trying to target a particular area, but find that no matter how great those muscles begin to look, you just can't get rid of all the fat on top of them. 

Lots of women find that they get unwanted problem areas with fat settling on the tummy, hips and bottom, especially after having children, and both sexes can find themselves starting to acquire middle-aged spread, or maybe fat on the upper arms, back fat that bulges out from under the bra and some men even get fatty breasts. A good way to get rid of these unsightly bulges and keep up a slimmer, healthy-looking body is by having Vaser Lipo, which is a procedure that's ideal for different body types and body problem areas.

The most common body areas for Vaser Lipo are;

• Waist - Love handles, on both men and women, can prove very hard to get rid of, but elasticity in the waist area can get excellent results with Vaser.
• Hips - The hips are a problem area for lots of women as they can gradually merge into the waist area. Vaser treatment can shape this area to create a curvy feminine silhouette.
• Flanks - The flank area is in the lower back area above the panty line and Vaser treatment on this area is usually done at the same time as the waist, giving an even and smooth contour.
• Chest - Men tend to lose muscle mass of the chest as they age, resulting in a flabby appearance, whilst other men suffer from gynecomastia, or man boobs, both can easily be treated with Vaser Lipo.
• Upper arms - Excess fat and tissue in the upper arms is a common sign of getting older. Vaser treatment can tone the arm area giving them a youthful look.

Lots of men are determined to get their body looking as good as it possibly can by eating healthily and putting in the hours at the gym, and while most of them do manage to lose some of the unwanted weight and build up some muscle, unfortunately, even after months of hard work sometimes they find that getting definition on the abdomen just isn't happening.

Smooth The Skin's Texture Using Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The look and texture of the skin can change over the years making treatments such as microdermabrasion ideal for refreshing and rejuvenating the face. The mild exfoliation of the skin will help to erase fine lines and wrinkles, as well as unclogging and minimising the pores. The treatment can lessen age spots, hyperpigmentation and superficial sun damage, whilst medical microdermabrasion, which give a deeper medical exfoliation, is ideal for mild acne scars.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic our experienced practitioner can easily give professional skin treatments such as a chemical peel or microdermabrasion, treatments which can penetrate deeper into the skin than similar products that people use at home. These treatments will cause the dull, dead skin cells to turnover faster and can also treat a great number of other skin concerns.

Exfoliating at home - do's and don'ts;

*  Don't exfoliate every day. People think it will leave them with a clearer skin, but over-exfoliating can damage your healthy skin cells, leaving the skin irritated, dry and red. Instead, exfoliating twice a week is more than enough to keep your complexion looking bright.
*  Do use a good quality exfoliator with active ingredients, as this will encourage new cell turnover, whilst helping to take off any dull and dead skin cells from the skin's top layer. This will help to unclog and clear the pores, leaving you with a brighter, fresher complexion.
*  Don't exfoliate irritated skin. You should stop exfoliating straight away if it's causing skin irritation or has made your skin over-sensitive, as it's important not to damage the skin's barrier. Only start using exfoliation once your skin has returned to normal.

At a consultation at our clinic you'll meet your practitioner and they will assess your skin and suitability for treatment. After explaining  the microdermabrasion procedure, recovery, likely outcomes and costs, they will go through your past medical history and answer any questions you might have. The microdermabrasion treatment uses a light mist of crystals on the upper layer of the skin, which will gently and painlessly dislodge the dead and dull cells, whilst its vacuum suction will simultaneously remove both the crystals and dead cells. This results in a polished, smooth and glowing skin.

Microdermabrasion is one of the simplest and least disruptive skin treatments and is ideal even for people with sensitive skin. The treatment can help you improve any skin conditions or imperfections such as; fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, oily or dull skin and pigmentation. Microdermabrasion gives fast and long-lasting results.

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

Hair growth is a major problem for many people and though growth of hair with time is normal, it's the places where it grows on the face and body that can become a big problem. We have hair follicles everywhere on the body except for on the lips, palms of the hands and soles of the feet, so it’s no surprise that many of us are spending far too much time shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted hair.

Hair on the face is a common problem that affects a lot of people, and there's a few things that cause this to happen. It could be hereditary or maybe because of your ethnic heritage, there are those who have excessive facial hair because of medical conditions or it could even be due to hormonal changes associated with the menopause.

Hair can appear on different areas of the face including:

* Upper lip
* Chin
* Jaw line
* Sideburns
* Eyebrows
* Cheeks

Facial hair that's excessive or unsightly is a cause for concern for lots of women as it needs regular maintenance to keep it under control. Excess hair anywhere can lead to low self-esteem, and although it's common to have unwanted hair on the face it can cause embarrassment to women and really affect their self-confidence. Removing the hair is the best solution, although you may find that waxing, threading and plucking hair can become irritating and painful, often leaving the skin sore and red. This can cause stress and embarrassment, and it can need regular maintenance to keep it under control.

Remedies and treatments include:

• Shaving, waxing, threading and plucking techniques which are time-consuming and temporary.
• Electrolysis permanently removes hair by using heat, but it's an extremely slow and painful method and can leave scarring.
• Medicated creams can also be used, although side-effects such as skin rashes and irritation may occur when using this method.
• Laser hair removal can treat small and large areas quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Removing facial hair with laser treatment is a quick procedure that gives great results. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy and then this energy converts to heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without causing any harm to the surrounding skin, and this stops the hair growing in the damaged follicle. With laser treatment, there's only minimal discomfort, usually just a minor stinging sensation to the skin upon application of the laser pulses, but topical anaesthetic cream can make any treatment more comfortable.

Correct Eye Hollows & Dark Circles with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Dark circles beneath the eyes are one of the biggest beauty problems that women face. Waking up in the morning and staring back at dark under-eye hollows in the mirror is never a pretty sight and although they aren't a serious problem, they can make us look older, unhealthy, tired and exhausted. Dark circles under the eyes are a normal occurrence, especially after a night out, a busy day at work or if we have sleep deprivation.

The darkness of the skin beneath the eyes is usually known as dark circles, dark rings or shadows, and they can creep up unannounced as the skin below the eyes is the thinnest and the veins underneath become visible for the slightest reasons. An increased production of melanin make women with darker skin tones more prone to hyperpigmentation around the eyes, where those with lighter skin tones often present dark circles with a reddish or purple hue.

As we age, we notice certain facial changes, and one that's commonly commented on is the dark circles under the lower eyelids, which can make us look tired and older than you really are, and it only gets worse as time goes on. The skin can also lose some of its volume and elasticity and the decrease of collagen production and elastin causes it to becomes thinner, and the loss of fatty tissues can cause a hollow or sunken appearance.

• Loss of volume around the eye area exposes the orbital bone, which can result in a hollowed appearance beneath the eyes.
• Changes in the skin's colour or pigmentation are common among those of African or Asian descent, causing dark circles under the eyes.
• Eye bags and dark circles can also be genetic, and there's a high chance that you could develop it as well, if some of your family have them too.
• Sun exposure can produce excess melanin which can also cause darkening around the eye area.
• Allergies, such as hay fever and cat hair, are common culprits often resulting in a dark purple hue around the eyes. 
• A hectic social life, with late night outs, excess alcohol or smoking, can all temporarily darken the eye area.

Sunken eyes can now be corrected using advanced dermal fillers, which can also help correct the dark shadowing beneath the eyes. Dermal filler not only fills in that hollow area, but it also helps to increase collagen production. The dermal fillers we use are non-animal based, and are extremely safe. We inject the filler into the deeper layers of skin, and over the following weeks will cause rehydration of the skin and underlying tissues, improving and rejuvenating your face.

Botox For Subtle Anti-Ageing Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we mature, wrinkles and lines might start to appear around the forehead, creating frown lines between the brows which can make us look overly serious or angry. These signs of ageing can easily be treated with injections of botox, which is a reputable cosmetic procedure which visibly reduces lines and wrinkles or removes them completely. Botox injections are a fast cosmetic treatment where the results begin to show after a few days and gradually improve within two weeks.

It's advisable that you get botox, or any other injectable treatments done by qualified health care professionals, such as doctors, dentists or nurses, as they have had the correct training and use only reputable and safe products. Do your research and check out where you're having your botox procedure, whether that's checking it out online, on Internet forums or by word of mouth.

• Botox has lots of benefits:

• Speed - Botox treatment usually takes around ten to twenty minutes and the results might be noticeable immediately after the treatment, although it will take a couple of days to settle down and improve.
• Price - The cost of botox is less expensive than plastic surgery treatments which cost considerably more.
• Minimally invasive - Botox injections are less invasive than other anti-ageing treatments such as face lifts or brow lifts.
• Minimal side effects - Side effects associated with botox such as redness, itching or bruising occur very occasionally, but these are temporary.

Facial expressions that repeatedly use the same muscles, will eventually leave crows feet, frown lines and forehead creases upon the skin. Botox injections will temporarily weaken the muscles that help to create your facial expressions, and lessening this muscle activity will not only soften the fine lines and wrinkles, but it will also affect the expressions you use on your face. It's a temporary treatment lasting around four months and will need regular top-up injections to keep up the results.

Botox is an ideal treatment for those who want subtle, non-surgical, anti-ageing treatments. After applying a topical aesthetic to the skin to make sure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, the botox is then administered into the specific targeted areas, reducing lines and the halting further wrinkles from beginning.

The results of botox should look subtle, and a fully trained practitioner will carefully administer, technically precise injections to give you a fresh and healthy appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. This results in a naturally smooth and healthy face, free from wrinkles. The effects after a botox treatment are not completely immediate, it starts to work within days, with the greatest effect seen around two weeks later.

Treat Ageing Skin at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We start to notice loose and sagging skin as we begin to get older, because as the body naturally ages, so too does the skin. The body stops producing collagen and elastin by the age of twenty-five and the hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin lessens, and this can result in the early signs of ageing.

There are lots of things that accelerate the ageing process of the skin:

• Sun damage - UVA rays emitted by the sun can cause pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity through collagen and elastin breakdown and skin-texture quality.
• Smoking - even second-hand smoke can cause damage to the elastin fibres causing sagging to the skin, age spots and lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
• Lack of sleep - can cause more fine lines, uneven skin colour and slackening of the skin.
• Stress - signs of stress can show up on your skin, hair and nails.
• Pollution and the environment - Dehydrated skin can leave the skin dry, rough and itchy and the city dust and dirt clogging up the pores can cause spots and make the skin look lifeless and dull.

Loss of volume in the face is one of the things we notice about getting older. As we age our facial fat is generally lost, causing the soft tissues to become thinner. Collagen and elastin will become less firm and elastic as we age, allowing the soft tissue in the face to sag. This results in the face looking thinner and facial bones looking more prominent.

Problems we get on the skin include:

• The cheeks - ageing skin is vulnerable to the effects of gravity and can sag, resulting in jowls and bags under the eyes.
• The mouth - laugh lines deepen and the fine lines that surround the lips, known as smokers lines begin to show
• The eyes - we get dark circles and tear troughs when the upper and lower eyes begin to sag.
• Facial thread veins - the blood vessels are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing thread veins.
• Age spots - when the pigment cells in the skin increase they cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• The forehead - repetitive facial expression movements made over time will see the start of wrinkles and furrows.
• The skin - facial wrinkles may occur because of thinning ageing skin. Reduced skin cell turnover will result in thinner crepe like skin. 

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments to treat ageing of the skin. A little wrinkle, a bit of sagging or dark circle might be making you look older than you really are, but our experienced and fully trained cosmetic doctor can help you choose from a variety of treatments, and recommend which treatment is suitable for all of your concerns.

Straighten Nose Bumps With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As a focal feature of the face, the nose plays a vital role in facial proportions and perceived beauty, and it can cause great distress when we have a facial feature that's out of proportion with the rest of the face. Lots of people dislike the shape of their nose, but unfortunately it's a prominent feature on the face, and one that's difficult to disguise. An uneven, bumpy nose can affect your self-esteem, particularly in photographs, and especially when the photo shows your face in profile.

Even making a small difference to the shape of the nose can improve the look and balance of the face. Injections of dermal filler can change a number of variations in nasal shapes, bringing harmony to the rest of the face.

The reasons we get a bumpy nose are either because of:

Genetics - A hook or a bumpy nose is one of many dominant traits that we might inherit though our genes. Whether it's a nose that's large, hooked or bumpy, or a nose that just isn't quite symmetrical.

Injury - A broken nose might not always heal properly and this can leave you with a crooked, misshapen nose. After a nasal injury, calcium deposits and bone growth in the area might form a dorsal bump, or make an existing bump seem even more prominent.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure which involves reshaping or altering the nose, using injectable fillers. Sometimes known as liquid nose jobs, these non-surgical treatments involve strategically placed fillers which can change the nose's appearance if you're unhappy with the shape, or maybe you have an unattractive bump, depression or asymmetry.

Dermal filler treatment is ideal for those who have:

A slightly crooked nose
A nose that needs building up
A hook shaped nose that needs straightening
A mild to moderate bump on the bridge of the nose
A mild to moderate drooping of nasal tip
Noses that need more height, definition and a nose tip

A dermal filler nose job can create a beautiful and desirable nose, which not only helps to shape and straighten the nose, but is also able to lift the tip. There's no downtime needed after the procedure, and any minor bruising or redness usually goes away in a few days and can easily be covered by make-up. Dermal fillers aren't permanent and will stay in the body for about nine to twelve months, so further treatment might be needed to keep up your desired appearance.
