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.

Dermal Filler Treatment to Replace Lost Volume to Ageing Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Along with the face, our hands are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. As well as developing age spots and wrinkles, over time we naturally lose collagen which means that the skin on our hands can begin to look thin and wrinkly. Over time they can lose firmness and volume, go dry and scaly and get protruding veins and age spots.

Dermal filler injections to improve the look of ageing hands

Throughout the day we are using our hands, and if we don't take care of them, they might start to look older than they are. The hands cope with years of washing up, daily use, sunshine and environmental factors, which cause the skin on our hands to dry out, and look old beyond their years.

Our skin can look youthful and healthy for longer if we practice a good skin care routine, but unfortunately we don't really give the same care and attention to our hands, as we do to our face. As we get older the veins and bones become more visible because the skin on the hands is thinner and more delicate than anywhere else, and just as we lose fat and collagen from the face and body, we also lose it on our hands, making them look older and skeletal.

As the hands are always exposed to the elements, they probably give away your age more than any other body part. Sun damage is the biggest culprit, which is why we should apply sunscreen to the backs of our hands as well as using a good hand cream at least once a day. Hands usually start looking older in our twenties, although most people don't recognise the signs of aging until they reach their forties and fifties.

Before & After filler treatment on ageing hands

After the face, the hands are the second most visible, tell-tale sign of our age. If you're bothered about how your hands are ageing and your aim is for them to look more youthful, you may want to consider hand rejuvenation.

• Microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and make the skin softer and brighter and help to even out the skin tone.
• Moisturise the hands after they've been in water and apply anti-ageing moisturiser while they're still damp,
• Chemical peels take away any dead skin and improve the skin tone, softening the skin and eliminating any brown spots.
• Laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help to plump up the skin.
• Dermal filler injections will correct volume loss on the back of wrinkly hands, improving the skin quality and plumping your hands up. A dermal filler treatment with hyaluronic acid, will add volume to the skin and make them wrinkle-free.

It seems a shame that when women take such good care to keep their face looking as good as possible, they find that the face and hands don't really match. The hands can look so much older than the rest of you and the loss of volume, fat and elasticity just accentuates the differences, making dermal filler treatment an ideal solution.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Slow Down Facial Ageing With Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The signs of ageing can get you down, and seeing lines and wrinkles can knock your confidence and make you feel insecure when we start looking older. So if you're beginning to see an increase in wrinkles, or you're noticing fine lines on your face, or maybe you feel you just don't look as youthful and bright as you used to, then botox might be the answer to help reducing or eliminating those ageing wrinkles. 

Botox Treatment Before and After

Botox injections are one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments on the market, thanks to its safety and effectiveness. But we must always remember that despite Botox's popularity and its increasing use, the treatment is still a medical procedure, and only a fully trained and highly experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner should carry out this treatment.

Botox treatment can also be used for:

• Over active frown
• Crows feet, fine lines and wrinkles
• Correcting lines from repeated facial expression and worry lines
• An eye lift
• Correcting uneven eyebrows
• Tightening the jaw line
• Correcting the downward corners at each side of the lips
• Treating migraines
• Treating hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating)

Always choose a highly trained cosmetic practitioner to inject your botox treatment, as they will have performed lots of botox treatments, have a large client base and will have lots of before and after photo's, and they will have reviews and recommendations of their work that you can look at.

At your consultation you will discuss what requirements you have, and what your expectations are. When botox is properly done, no-one will be able to tell that you've had any treatment, the injections will just leave your face looking relaxed and refreshed. By choosing the right cosmetic doctor to achieve your aim, your appearance will look much improved, but will still remain looking completely natural.

Botox brow lift

*  Always check that the practitioners qualifications are authentic
*  Don't book because of offers like two for the price of one, or introduce a friend and get a discount
*  Make sure you have treatment in a clinic which is clean
*  Be aware that the cheapest priced treatment won't always be the best
*  Look at their before and after photos to check what results they achieve
*  Check online to see reviews to get recommendations
*  Ask around for word of mouth reviews

Continuity is always a good idea, so for any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's wise to use the same practitioner who knows what you want, what you are hoping to achieve and who knows your face.

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.

Smooth Away Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to look as young as we can, for as long as we can. How we look after our skin and our lifestyle choices can all play a part in delaying the signs of ageing, although we do have to accept that ageing is both natural, and inevitable. Lines on the face are a sign of stress or age, but you can easily smooth away the fine lines and wrinkles with a quick five-minute treatment. It will leave you looking completely fresh, less worried and more awake. Subtly administered botox injections will give your face a soft natural, refreshed look.

The ageing process shows on our face, and this happens for a variety of reasons:
* Time naturally takes its toll
* Exposure to the sun breaks down elastin fibres
* Hormonal changes cause a loss of density on the skin
* Smokers tend to have more wrinkles than non-smokers
* Repetitive muscle movement can cause deep set lines and wrinkles

Wrinkles are the folds and creases that appear on the skin and are a natural part of the ageing process. The primary cause of facial wrinkles are the repetitive movements used when we make our facial expressions, and over time they form crows feet, frown lines and marionette lines. Lines around the mouth and lips start to appear when we pucker up the lips when smoking. The skin is also exposed every day to the elements; the wind, sun, dirt, and pollution, and it's inevitable that this will eventually affect the skin in noticeable ways.

• Fine lines are shallow and they're found in areas of facial movement, such as the eyes, mouth and upper lip, from laughing, smoking, eating and squinting.
• Wrinkles are depressions in the surface of the skin which can look either coarse or fine.
• Deep set wrinkles are expression lines and they're usually found on the forehead, the corners of the eyes and vertical lines on the side of the mouth, usually caused by frowning, raising your eyebrows and smiling.

Botox is an effective anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle treatment. The treatment is safe, affordable, convenient and fast, and the procedure is usually completed within 15 or 20 minutes. The results will last for at least 3 or 4 months. The botox injections are non-invasive and are very popular, offering people of all ages a way to, not only reduce the wrinkles, but also have strategically placed injections as a preventive measure to stop new wrinkles forming.

Refresh & Rejuvenate Your Face With a Chemical Peel - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older our skin can begin to look dull, the texture can become uneven and we might even have some acne scars, but surprisingly, lying just beneath the surface of our skin could be a spotless, line-free and flawless complexion. If we are unhappy at the state of our skin then a chemical peel treatment can improve the texture and tone on the face, leaving us with improved, visible results, without any irritation or shredding of the skin.

Chemical peels are a widely used part of cosmetic treatments, and they can help rectify a number of skin concerns. The treatments penetrate into the skin without causing irritation, unclogging facial pores and stimulating collagen production. They are most often used as an anti-ageing treatment, to improve fine lines, acne scars and skin discolouration or simply to freshen up the skin.

The acid in the chemical peel lifts away the dead cells in minutes, triggering a chain reaction:

* It causes exfoliation of the top layer of the skin

* Once the skin is shed, the living cells below will multiply and move up.

* This will increase collagen production, making hyaluronic acid which results in a fresher, younger  looking face.

Regularly removing dead skin cells will freshen up your skin, giving it a fresh and youthful glow. It will even out the skin tone, reduce age spots, give you a better skin quality, as well as giving your skin-care and make-up products, a smoother base to sit on. The peels penetrate into the dermis of the skin and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin, producing new and improved collagen and elastin and increasing the skin cell turnover.

Benefits of chemical peels:

• Penetrate deep enough to remove the top layer of skin, which will even out your skin tone.
• Reduce or take away blotchy patches that cause the skin to look dull.
• Remove the sun damaged top layer of skin, leaving behind a fresh and smooth layer.
• They can help clear up inflammations and even acne scars.
• A fast and simple treatment. The average procedure takes around 30-40 minutes.

Chemical peels offer a non-invasive, quick-fix solution, without the need for surgery. Lasers treatments can target problems but they can prove expensive, so chemical peels are ideal for customers looking for an effective, less expensive option.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation for Fine Wrinkles & Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sun damage, acne scars and general ageing - our skin goes through a lot over the years, but there is a way to get our skin back to its former glory with laser skin resurfacing. This is a treatment which removes damaged layers of skin, leaving skin looking fresher, younger and healthier.

This treatment is a non-invasive laser treatment for fine wrinkles, ageing and sun-damaged skin and is often called the non-surgical face lift. It's non-ablative, so the surface of the skin remains unchanged and there's no healing or recovery time.

Enhanced laser skin rejuvenation treatment will:

• Leave the face with an even colouring
• Give the skin with a silky feel and a youthful glow
• Tighten up the skin
• Plump up areas such as the cheeks

The gentle lasers reach deep down to the collagen level of the skin, and the precise therapeutic light energy stimulates production of collagen and elastin fibres, and this will improve the tone and texture of the skin and smooth out facial wrinkles. It corrects small pigmentation imperfections such as brown sunspots and erases broken blood vessels and red and blue facial veins. It's a safe treatment for the face, chest, neck, hands and any area where sun damage shows.

The enhanced laser skin rejuvenation procedure normally takes around 40-60 minutes to treat and we recommend six treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. The treatment effects are cumulative, with optimal results appearing after 4 to 6 months. Clients might experience minimal discomfort when we are delivering the laser pulses and some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make the treatments more comfortable.

Laser skin rejuvenation is an ideal procedure to have done during your lunch time as after the treatment there's no down time, you can wear make up and resume your normal activities straight away, with most  clients returning to work immediately afterwards. Occasionally you might experience redness or swelling for a few hours, or on rare occasions, for a few days.

The benefits:

• Reduces facial wrinkles and fine lines
• Treats sun damage, including age spots and brown pigmentation
• Will improve broken blood vessels, red and blue facial veins
• You can return to normal activities immediately
• It's safe for the face, chest, neck, hands and anywhere that sun damage shows

Before any treatment, the doctor will discuss your requirements and expectations and recommend a personalised treatment plan. This cost-effective treatment gets fantastic results, without the use of needles or invasive cosmetic surgery.

Get A Younger Smoother Face With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

All of us want to look as young as we can for as long as we can, but unfortunately ageing is inevitable, so when signs of ageing like lines and wrinkles start to appear, then this is the time to start thinking of treatments to keep them at bay. Botox is a quick, pain-free treatment which will help give you a younger, smoother, line-free face.

The areas where the skin is constantly exposed to the elements, such as the face, neck, arms and hands are all more likely to become wrinkled. Most of our wrinkles are the result of ageing and each year thousands of people turn to botox, with treatment to the face; creases on the forehead, smile lines, crows feet and the deep furrows between the eyebrows being the most popular areas to have treated.

Botox brow lift

Botox is now one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the UK and a good practitioner will
customise the treatment specifically for each person's face to give it a soft natural look, because the results can look stunning, and yet remain subtle. Botox is a safe and effective way to reduce and smooth out wrinkles, worry lines across the forehead and the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and help to soften the look of these dynamic facial lines and wrinkles which appear over time, because of repeated smiling and frowning movements.

A fully trained cosmetic practitioner can perform careful, precise injections, which will give your face a fresh, healthy and subtle appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. Botox is injected using a disposable syringe which has a very fine needle, and tiny amounts are precisely injected into several specific areas on the face, which are chosen by carefully examining the movements of your facial muscles. The treatment is almost painless and doesn't need any pain relief.

Botox has many benefits:

• Wrinkles and lines get smoothed out, giving a more youthful appearance
  

• Prevention of further wrinkles by relaxing the muscles
• It's a non-invasive, quick treatment with minimal discomfort

A botox injection lessens the muscle activity which cause wrinkles to form on the face. It blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, relaxing and softening the muscles in the problem area. Gaining results from botox is a gradual process, taking around twenty-four hours to begin taking effect and up to two weeks for the full effect to show. The results can last from three to five months and we recommend repeat treatments three to four times a year.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we always attempt to keep the botox injection experience gentle and pain-free, putting you at ease and supporting you through the experience.

Improve Your Facial Skin with Chemical Peel Treatments - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we reach our late twenties or early thirties, we start to notice certain signs of ageing, like facial wrinkles or the start of sagging skin. Most of us usually accept that what we see in the mirror is an inevitable process of nature, with sun damage, smoking, pollution, the environment, stress and lack of sleep, all accelerating the skin's ageing process.

People have chemical peel treatments to gain a cleaner, fresher and younger appearance for their face. It's a great treatment to lessen, or take away lines and wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scars, age spots, superficial scars and other blemishes. The peels penetrate into the dermis; the inner layers of your skin, and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin, to produce new collagen and elastin. They also increase cell turnover, resurfacing the skin which results in improved texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and more youthful appearance.

These non-invasive skin peels can give dramatic results for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull lifeless skin
• Sun damaged skin
• Active acne
• Mild acne scars
• Irregular pigmentation

Cold weather can have a harsh effect on the skin, causing dryness as the moisture gets sucked out of the epidermis, leaving it itchy, tight and uncomfortable. Fine lines start to look deeper and the skin begins to look rough and flaky. The older we get, the more wrinkles, fine lines, acne, mild face scars, sun damage, freckles and pigmentation start to show on our face. Chemical peels fight these things by slowing their growth or by diminishing them completely.

As well as improving the skin's appearance, chemical peels remain a widely used, useful part of cosmetic beauty treatments and they can help treat a number of skin concerns. Chemical peels are most often used as an anti-ageing treatment, helping to improve acne and discolouration or simply to freshen up the skin.

Benefits of chemical skin peels are:

• Pain free with no skin flaking or shredding
• A good treatment if you're suffering from acne and within a few months can help clear up inflammation and even acne scars
• Promoting growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which will thicken the skin and improve the resistance to the effects of ageing
• Improving the skin's texture and tone, making the face look and feel fresher

Chemical facial peels aim to remove the dead cells from the skin's surface to allow new healthy skin cells to grow back, creating smoother looking skin. It's a non-invasive treatment used to restore youthfulness to wrinkly, blotchy, sun-damaged skin and can also be used to treat blemishes, scars and help reduce the signs of ageing.

Ease Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all get older, this is just a simple fact of life, however, there are some people who unfortunately feel they look older than their years. Wrinkles are mostly associated with older people but they can appear at any age and it's not unusual for those in their late twenties or early thirties to seek wrinkle treatments.

Botox is not just for treating the wrinkles of older people, lots of younger clients are now having this anti-ageing treatment as a prevention method. If you stop the beginnings of a wrinkle and keep having maintenance treatments, you'll stay looking more youthful for longer. We don't have to age gracefully anymore as botox injections are an affordable treatment used by both women and men.

The face is the place where age shows up first, and wrinkle fillers are ideal for those who want a youthful appearance without having to do anything too drastic. Botox is non-invasive and can give an incredibly natural result, dramatically reducing wrinkles and giving a smoother, less tired-looking face. Botox cosmetic treatments can help a range of problem areas.

The upper face is the main area of Botox treatments:

• Crow's-feet at the sides of the eyes.
• Frown lines.
• Forehead creases.

One of the most common things people want to treat are dynamic wrinkles which result through muscle contractions. The frown lines across the forehead, and the two vertical lines between the eyebrows form through the repeated movement of facial muscles when we express ourselves.

Eventually as the skin ages, its elastic fibres fracture, the collagen in the skin breaks down and the skin takes longer to recover from being creased. The lines begin to bed into the skin and no longer disappear, even when the face is at rest. The muscles on the forehead cause the skin to crinkle up when we are concentrating, looking into the sun, speaking expressively and many other things that happen daily. In fact, every time you scowl, squint, glare or grimace, these lines are slowing starting to develop.

Botox treatments have no recovery period, so you will be able to return to your regular activities immediately, with no discomfort. Any pain associated with botox injections is minimal but having a topical anaesthetic cream applied before treatment can help with any potential discomfort. Botox treatment takes just minutes to perform and the results last anywhere from 3-6 months.

Refresh Your Skin With Treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't stop our face from getting older, but it's hard when you can see the noticeable signs of ageing such as fine wrinkles around the eyes or lips, or maybe pigmentation spots when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Sometimes though, there are ordinary things apart from ageing, which over time can take a toll on the skin and add years to our face. 

Acne marks and scarring ruin the texture of the skin and leave it looking uneven, so try hard not to pick at your spots. Given the amount of germs and bacteria that's hidden on the hands and under your nails, it's just not sanitary to touch and pick at your spots, it can cause breakouts and make existing spots even worse. Picking at your spots, ingrown hairs, blackheads or anything else on your face can have permanent effects and even leave scars.

Cleanse - Gently wash your face morning and night, avoiding cleansers with a high alcohol content and drying agents.
Exfoliate -  The complexion becomes dull and uneven as dead cells accumulate, so make sure you exfoliate your skin weekly. Using a gentle facial scrub which will help to keep the skin smooth, healthy and fresh.
Moisturise -  Apply moisturiser over your face twice a day, not forgetting to treat the neck and the back of your hands. Dry skin loses its elasticity and this is when wrinkles begin to form.

Exposure to the sun is the number one reason for skin ageing, so always wear sun screen. Over time too much excess sun damages the skin, causing wrinkles, loss of elasticity, visible blood vessels, hyper-pigmentation and even skin cancer. Even if you aren't sunbathing you should still protect your skin by wearing sun cream every day.

Not doing so can result in:

• Losing elasticity in the skin
• Translucent, thinner looking skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dry, rough skin
• Liver spots on the face, back of hands, arms and body
• Broken veins and capillaries
• Skin cancer

It's said that a third of women go to bed, at least twice a week, without removing their make-up. Stale make-up can clog up the pores making them look larger, resulting in a decline in the collagen and making the skin less supple. Leaving make-up on through the night can result in an overgrowth of bacteria on your face, it can cause acne and give the skin a dull, unhealthy look.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can soften the effects ageing with non-surgical cosmetic procedures. There are many cosmetic procedures for the face, such as botox, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, lip augmentation and fillers to plump up your lips, laser treatment to remove blemishes, moles and thread veins and chemical peels and microdermabrasion to smooth the surface of your skin.

Rejuvenate Your Face with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Whether it's checking that our make-up is still in place, looking for mascara smudges under the eyes, glancing at our teeth for lipstick marks or maybe to check if there's a pimple, it's said that women look at themselves in the mirror at least eight times a day, but really, the main reason we check out our reflection, is for a sense of reassurance.

The signs of facial ageing in women statistically begins to show by about the age of twenty five. The first signs of ageing are fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and the frown lines between the eyebrows are common too. There are times when our face seems to look older than our actual years; sometimes this is just bad luck with our genes, but smoking lines at the mouth or over exposure of the sun are things which give us more lines than the norm. Fortunately we can dramatically reduce or even remove these lines with some strategically placed botox injections.

Lines and wrinkles form because of the constant movement of muscles in actions such as; scowling, squinting and the raising of eyebrows. In time, these creases become permanent, because skin which is regularly being creased in the same place, doesn't get a chance to smooth out, and this is where botox treatment can help.

Although botox is a toxin, when it's used properly it isn't a high risk procedure at all, and has been safely used by medical and cosmetic practitioners for the last 30 years. Having botox injection treatment is fast becoming as common as getting your nails done, your roots touched up at the hairdressers and having your legs waxed. Just twenty minutes of your time having botox can give you a much fresher, smoother look, as it relaxes the facial muscles so that you can't frown, and softens any deeper lines that you might have.

The botox procedure takes about 20 minutes and needs no anaesthetic. Botox gets injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles and only causes minor discomfort. Botox usually takes effect within 5 to 14 days after the procedure, and the result is that we don't frown as much, or crinkle our eyes when we are smiling. Botox often lasts up to four months and you will find the lines and wrinkles looking less severe with time because the botox has taught the muscles to relax.

Anti-Ageing Treatments Help to Keep You Looking Younger - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we are young, fat is distributed evenly in the face, with little pockets here and there that plump up the cheeks, forehead, temples and areas around the eyes and mouth. However, as we age, the face loses volume, so rounder features may sink and skin that was smooth and tight, becomes looser and begins to sag.

There are lots of things that cause our skin to age. With the passing of time we will all get visible lines and wrinkles and it's natural for our face to lose some of its fullness. The skin on our face is thinner and more delicate than the rest of our body which is perhaps one of the reasons that we can see the fine lines and wrinkles more easily.

Botox treatment areas

Ageing is a fact of life and some of the things we notice about our skin includes:

• Wrinkly skin - In time, ageing skin becomes thinner due to reduction of elastin and collagen.
• Thinner skin - The rate of skin cell turnover reduces in ageing skin, which results in thinner crêpe-like skin.
• Sagging - Less production of elastin and collagen means ageing skin is more vulnerable to the effects of gravity.
• Age spots - Pigment cells in the skin increase in certain areas and cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• Dryness - The ageing skin has fewer sweat glands and oil glands and is prone to dryness.
• Facial thread veins - The blood vessels in ageing thin skin are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, resulting in broken veins.

Some things, like the natural ageing process, we can't do anything about, but other things we can influence, such as smoking, sun damage, excess alcohol, stress and lack of sleep, which can all play a part in ageing us faster. Our environment and lifestyle choices are partly to blame for our skin ageing prematurely, but by taking some preventive actions, we can slow the effects that this type of ageing has on our skin.
