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.

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.
