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.

Replace Lost Volume in the Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has plump apple cheeks, smooth contours and a natural glow, but as we get older, we lose volume due to the loss of collagen, which takes away this natural glow. Keeping our face looking youthful is achievable using injectable treatments and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Dermal fillers can enhance your cheeks by filling in lost volume and bringing back a smoother, fuller and healthier look to your skin. Filler containing hyaluronic acid is a very good choice because of its excellent compatibility with the human body, making it ideal to erase facial wrinkles and lines and replace volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found the body and when used in a filler it acts as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells.

Filler is used to:
*  Create higher cheekbones
*  Minimise harsh angles creating a smoother cheek contour
*  Give the cheek a natural curve
*  Fill in hollow cheeks

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately they don't come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheek, making them seem hollow and gaunt but using facial filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this, and bring the back the symmetry of the face. The three main landmarks on the face are the nose, cheeks and chin, and the facial structure might seem unbalanced when one of these is out of proportion.

A practitioner will inject dermal filler into the hollow areas, and you'll immediately notice the difference as the wrinkles vanish and the sunken areas get more volume. When our body's own collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin, and temporarily replenish the skin's volume.

Facial fillers are a simple solution and they offer many benefits:

• They're minimally invasive
• Results are instantly visible, although the full results may take a couple of weeks to appear
• Procedure takes less than an hour
• Minimal downtime required after the treatment
• Results will last from nine months to a year

The dermal filler will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones. Higher, fuller cheeks can enhance your appearance, balance your other facial features and instantly restore your face to a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are ideal for those who want to look younger and fresher without the need for invasive surgery. They can work wonders for skin that has wrinkles and volume loss and these treatments are a wonderful option to fight the signs of ageing.

Enhance Your Face With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We get deep lines and folds in the skin as we get older because ageing causes the skin to lose elasticity and collagen, and it's this that makes our face begin to sag and look gaunt. We would all like to correct sunken cheeks and the hollows beneath our eyes to regain the plump fullness of skin from our youth, and dermal fillers are a great option for those wishing to lose these deep folds and lines on the face, but don't wish to have invasive cosmetic surgery.

Dermal fillers on tear troughs

We shouldn't confuse dermal fillers with botox, because although we inject both of these treatments into the face, we use botox to stop the muscle movement which causes wrinkles, while we use fillers to add volume to the face. This involves placing the fillers in strategic places to lift the cheeks and jowls, give volume to the lips and fill deep lines and hollows. Filler treatment can improve your looks, enhance your profile and leave your face with a natural expression.

Dermal fillers are ideal for these areas:

• Tear troughs - this treatment gives a natural filled out appearance, correcting the hollows beneath the eyes.
• Marionette lines - these lines run from the corners of the mouth, down towards the chin, causing deep creases which lead to jowls or a poorly defined jaw line. These are often a result of volume loss in the upper and mid face, combined with the effects of gravity.
• Nasolabial lines - these are the deep lines from the nose to the mouth, where deep creasing can occur. Often these are a result of volume loss in the cheeks and temples.
• Cheek Augmentation - loss of volume in the cheeks flattens the mid face. Dermal fillers are an effective treatment that instantly adds volume to cheeks, giving an immediately more youthful appearance.
• Forehead wrinkles - Frown lines are the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and they are one of the most common signs of ageing. Dermal fillers are perfect for softening and minimizing the very deep lines which are visible, even when your forehead is at rest.
• Lip enhancement - dermal fillers will give your lips better definition, reduce lipstick bleed and will enhance thin, ageing or asymmetrical lips. Filler treatment is a perfect solution to give you fuller, healthier looking lips, reducing smoker's lines and lifting mouth corners.

Dermal filler treatment for cheek enhancement

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment, used to plump up depressions in the skin. The main reason for depressions in the skin are wrinkles, lines and loss of volume caused by the ageing process. Dermal fillers work by plumping up the treated area and making it level with the rest of the skin, filling out any depressed areas such as wrinkles or sunken cheeks. A very fine needle injects the filler into the treatment area, which adds more structure and firmness to the face.

Benefits;

• It's a non-invasive treatment with little downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities straight away
• Fillers reduce lines and wrinkles to give a more youthful looking appearance
• They will replenish lost volume for a softer, younger look
• The results are long-lasting 

Lip enhancement

As we age, it is well-known that the skin loses its smoothness, and this happens because the body's natural levels of collagen reduce with age. This loss of shape and firmness is a problem that dermal fillers can rectify. During the injection treatment, most people report only a slight discomfort, so the treatment usually doesn't need an anaesthetic. After treatment, you can go straight back to your normal activities. The results are usually seen instantly and will last for around six to eight months.

Botox & Filler for a Liquid Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unfortunately we'll all get older, and when we do we'll notice our face developing fine lines and wrinkles. Sagging facial skin will make us look tired, and if we lose volume in our face we'll also start to look gaunt. Many people think that invasive face lift surgery is the solution to correct these effects of facial ageing, however there's another option. Instead of going under the knife for a surgical procedure, many people find they'll get fantastic results from a non-surgical procedure such as the liquid face lift.

A liquid face lift is a cosmetic procedure where a combination of injected botox and fillers freshen the face by softening lines and wrinkles and adding volume to the face. When it's strategically placed, botox can give you an eye lift and the dermal filler, when injected into sunken, hollow cheeks will add volume to the face.

Those who can benefit are:

• Clients who aren't quite ready, or who are reluctant to have invasive surgery.
• Those who have slight sagging of the jowls.
• Clients who have lost volume in the cheeks.
• People who have lost volume under the eyes.

Botox and filler can also be injected into the temples, lower eyelids, cheeks and jaw-line to create more youthful facial contours. Using local anaesthetic on the face, means any pain is minimal and unlike a surgical face lift, clients can go back to work the following day.

A liquid face lift treatment would benefit those who want to rejuvenate and refresh their face, making it appear more youthful. It's ideal for those who have lost volume to the face, especially in the cheek and mouth areas. With precision placement of the dermal filler to give tissue support and volume to areas which have sagged, along with strategic injections of botox to erase the fine lines, realistic goals of a refreshed younger looking face are achievable.

Benefits of a non-surgical procedure:

• It's non-invasive, no stitches or cuts and no bleeding
• Fast treatment time - 20 - 30 minutes
• Quick recovery - minor swelling for a few days
• It's affordable
• Back to work - next day
• Duration of results - up to 12 months
• Anaesthetic - local
• Results seen - immediate dramatic results

Having a liquid face lift is a minimal, swift procedure which can take five to seven years off of your facial appearance. It's possible to arrive and leave within an hour, having had a face lift without the need of a scalpel.

Restore Volume in Sunken Hollow Cheeks using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we age it's common to notice hollows beginning to appear in the cheeks and tear troughs and dark circles under the eyes, which can make the face look older and gaunt. As we get older our skin starts to lose its elasticity and begins showing signs of ageing, leading to the loss of shape and definition of the face.

To lots of people, fuller cheeks and prominent cheekbones are attributes which make us look younger and more attractive. Lots of us would just prefer to have fuller cheeks or we want to replace the lost volume that causes sunken cheeks, and both can easily be treated using dermal fillers.

Dermal filler treatment can help to camouflage bags underneath the eyes and add volume to hollow, sagging cheeks. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can smooth wrinkles and facial folds and bring sunken skin back up to the surface by adding volume. Dermal fillers are an effective way to restore youthful fullness to the face, and the main areas are the eye hollows, the nasolabial lines from the nose to the mouth, the chin, enhancing the lips and the cheeks.

If you've never been blessed with prominent cheekbones or you've lost some fullness because of ageing, then dermal filler is an ideal solution. It's a minimally invasive treatment and it will leave you with natural looking, tighter skin.

Dermal filler treatment can;

• Add volume to the cheeks
• Fill the hollows of tear troughs
• Enhance the jaw line 
• Define the chin
• Plump the lips
• Reduce the nasolabial folds

The skeletal changes we see over time, can accentuate the sagging areas of the face, like the tear troughs, the jowls, and the nasolabial folds. We can inject filler to correct any hollowing which happens through ageing and it will restore the skin’s natural elasticity, and leave the skin feeling firmer and highlighting the restored facial features.

Small amounts of dermal filler get injected into the cheek areas where there the volume has been lost and the injections work straight away, adding volume and subtly lifting the cheek area, temporarily reversing the loss of collagen. This treatment will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones.

The dermal filler treatment gets done in a single appointment, it takes about 40 minutes and there's no downtime. The injections cause only minimal discomfort and there's anaesthetic in the filler itself, making it a fairly painless procedure. The results are instant and last for up to a year.

Get Sculptured Contoured Cheekbones with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We are all unique. We all have a face, but we all have different features. Eyes might be round, almond-shaped, close-set or protruding, noses can look hooked, roman or snubbed, and the chin can look pointed, square or receding. The cheeks are also individual to each persons face, with flat cheeks, high cheekbones and apple cheeks. Bone structure, muscle and fat distribution determines the shape of the cheeks, as well as genetics.

When we describe someone as having a baby face, they typically have fuller cheeks, which makes them look younger than others of a similar age. The apple is what we call the plumpness of the cheek, which when seen in children's faces, it's described as chubby cheeks. The reason some people have full, defined apple cheeks and others have cheeks that are flat, is gravity. A pad of fat causes this fullness, and it's this, that tends to slide lower down the face as we age.

We can have poorly defined, flat cheeks at any stage of our life, maybe we have a narrow or flat face or a weak cheek structure. It could be that the cheeks just lack definition, but usually lost cheek contour is a side effect of ageing, when the fat pads slide down the face.

Many people think that high cheekbones are very attractive. If someone has high cheekbones, it means that the widest part of the face is just below the eyes, giving the cheekbone a more prominent look as the cheek dips in below the bone. This can cause shadows which will accentuate and give definition to the cheekbones.

It's been said that high cheekbones are a sign of youth and beauty, but as we age, the cheeks begin to lose volume. This loss of volume often results in hollows in the cheeks, caused by loss of fat from beneath the skin. Cheek augmentation can restore the fullness using dermal fillers. A subtle enhancing of your bone structure can create the kind of bone structure we all want to show off.

Benefits

• Treatment using market-leading dermal fillers; Juvederm, Restylane and Teosyal
• Free consultation with Dr Bassi who is highly trained in aesthetic facial procedures
• Virtually pain-free treatment, as a topical anaesthetic numbs the area being treated
• Minimal pain, bruising and down time
• Excellent post treatment care
• Quick treatment time and immediate results

Cheek augmentation can enhance your facial contours, and balance your features. Dermal filler treatment can also reshape the face, reducing signs of ageing. By adding volume to the cheeks it will give the face a natural-looking symmetry, and a youthful balance.

Replace Lost Volume and Enhance the Cheeks - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We tend to lose volume from our face as we get older and the most common place this happens is in the cheeks. The volume goes from the cheeks, causing a flattening of the mid face and this loss of fat can also exaggerate the nasolabial folds. Ageing is a gradual thing, and because we see ourselves in the mirror every day we don't notice all the little changes happening. It's when we look at old photo's and compare the changes, or maybe we notice ageing signs on other people we haven't seen for a while.

As well as wrinkles, with ageing, we also develop sagging and hollows. Our collagen production slows down so the skin is no longer as thick and firm as it was, which can stop us looking our best. A couple of things can cause the face to deflate with age; the structure of the skeleton thins, making the cheekbones recede and get smaller and the medial fat pads thin out and gravity pulls them downwards.

You can do everything right for your body with diet and exercise, but in the long-term, your face might not thank you for it. It's the fat that gives the face its youthful look, and having high cheekbones is a sign of youth and beauty. It seems that being thin is the goal of most people, but when it comes your face, thin can make you look older.

Some people often get called baby-faced, and this usually means they have the smooth, rounder cheeks that we see on babies. Lots of us spend our teens and our twenties trying to lose our facial fat to get defined cheekbones, but by the time we reach our middle-age years, a skinny face can sadly look like an old face. The truth is that round, full faces, tend to look younger.

Facial fat is lost gradually over the years, but a massive weight loss will often show a dramatic change in the face. Dermal filler treatment to enhance the cheeks are an effective treatment that will instantly add volume to your cheeks, giving an instant, more youthful appearance.

Cheek augmentation is a popular treatment choice for those with flattened cheekbones or for those who have volume loss around the cheeks. It's a minimally invasive procedure, is almost painless and needs no downtime, although you may experience slight swelling or potential bruising but you can return to work after your treatment.

Restore Volume to Sunken Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Maintaining a youthful face, is achievable using injectable treatments, and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Hyaluronic acid is a very good choice as a dermal filler, to reduce your facial wrinkles and lines and volume loss, because of its excellent compatibility with the human body. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found the body and when used in a filler, it acts as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells.

Ageing and weight-loss are contributing factors when our face begins to look older and worn-out day by day. Collagen is the reason our skin looks fresh and tight, but over time our body will lose vital components such as collagen fibres and elastin, when it gradually starts decreasing in our skin. When our body's own naturally occurring collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin and temporarily replenish the skin’s volume.

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately, they don’t come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheeks, making them seem hollow and gaunt, but using dermal filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this.

Enhance your Face With a Liquid Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

You know it's time to get help, when you look in the mirror and see your mother or father's face looking right back at you! You might inherit a few of your family's facial features; maybe you have your mother's pretty eyes, but sometimes you end up with the hooded eyes, jowls or the dark eye bags! This isn't so bad when you eventually grow old, but not so much fun in your thirties and forties!

We all want to look as good as we can, for as long as we can. Ageing, unfortunately means that the face will eventually start to sag and lose its firm, fresh appearance. When we think of a youthful face, we see firm skin, full, rounded cheeks and a smooth texture. It's the fat in our face that fills out the skin, keeping it looking smooth. Collagen gives the skin its strength and durability and it's responsible for the smooth, plump appearance of young, healthy skin. The decline in collagen production from age 25 onwards, leads to unwanted wrinkles, loss of volume, sagging and ageing skin.

As much as we want to stay looking young, most of us don't want to do anything as drastic as a surgical face lift. We don't want our face to look too different, just fresher and more youthful. A liquid face lift can boost and lift your facial areas to give a youthful, refreshed look, without the need for surgery. It's a good non-invasive cosmetic alternative, an injectable treatment which involves using dermal fillers and botox.

The liquid face lift is an ideal solution for those who have lost volume to the face especially in the cheek and mouth areas. Dermal filler will give tissue support and volume to the parts of the face which have sagged, along with injections of Botox which will erase the fine lines, giving the face an instant result, like a mini face lift.

The liquid face lift can improve many facial areas:

• It improves sagging of the jowls.
• Replace lost volume in the face.
• Cheek enhancement: filling out sunken cheeks.
• It's able to lift the jaw line.
• Soften the marionette lines: vertical lines on either side of the mouth.
• Helps achieve a much fresher, younger looking face.

The liquid face lift is a non-invasive procedure so there are no cuts and no bleeding. The treatment uses local anaesthetic and takes about 15 - 30 minutes to complete. The dramatic results are instant and the recovery is very quick, with any minor swelling lasting only a few days. The results last up to 12 months with a small top up required periodically.

Cheek Lift Enhancement to Give a Youthful Appearance - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The more we age, the more we notice the changes happening to our skin. With the onset of time, many ageing effects happen that can make us look tired and less youthful. Ageing causes the facial skin to sag when gravity pulls the skin on the cheek downwards. The fat pad slides down from the cheek bone into the face, which gives the effect of sunken cheeks, on and below the cheek bones.

A plump, full high cheek is a hallmark of a beautiful face. When we lose volume in the cheeks, it can leave us with a gaunt appearance and this is especially true of those who manage to lose lots of weight and others who are naturally slender.

Once upon a time only a facelift or cheek implants could help with restoring facial volume, but these days we have a number of effective, non-surgical treatments. Older skin loses fat and collagen which causes a change of our facial contour, resulting in hollowed cheeks, sagging skin and wrinkles, leading to an overly aged, drawn appearance.

An attractive face is defined by smooth, round contours and high cheekbones. Ageing leads to loss of definition on the cheeks and jaw-line and you might notice shadows around the cheek bone that's associated with loss of fat. Over time your face might change, but dermal filler injections will allow you to subtly control your looks as you age.

Dermal fillers are ideal for smoothing away facial lines and wrinkles, creating fuller lips and shaping facial contours like the cheeks and chin. People seek cheek augmentation to correct flatness, asymmetry, or to improve the overall balance of the facial shape. The cheek filler treatment plumps up the apples of the cheeks and sculpts the cheek bones. This instantly restores your face to a youthful appearance.

The most common areas treated are:

• The cheeks - to add volume and contour the face
• The nasolabial folds - the nose to mouth lines
• The glabella lines - between the eyebrows
• The lips - adding shape and volume
• The chin and jaw-line - adding definition.

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin’s own supply of hyaluronic acid, and dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly diminishing the lines and wrinkles and giving a softer natural look. Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel consisting of hyaluronic acid which is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body. It is long-lasting but not permanent.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, cheek enhancement is one of the most common treatments requested, and we have many clients returning for repeat treatments. Dr Bassi has developed great expertise delivering this treatment over the last 10 years.

Dermal Fillers to Plump Out Facial Lines & Grooves - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we think of filling in the lines on our face, the obvious answer is to have Botox. And whilst this is an excellent treatment for smoothing lines and wrinkles, it's fair to say, not everybody is comfortable with the idea of having Botox injected into their face, as they have visions of a frozen face that's unable to express any emotions (with a fully trained cosmetic practitioner this will not happen)

The best alternative to Botox is dermal fillers which are a great treatment for smoothing lines and wrinkles without paralysing your face into an expressionless mask. Dermal fillers can be used to fill out the face, to replace fat, and plump out areas that have lost volume and are beginning to look somewhat gaunt. They can also be used to fill in acne scars, change the shape of the chin or the tip of the nose.

Over time as we age, our skin loses hydration and this results in the loss of elasticity, forming lines and wrinkles and this gets more noticeable when we reach middle age. Dermal fillers can effectively treat areas, such as the eyes, neck and the back of the hands, which can, with age, develop finer lines and thinner crepey skin.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we offer:

• Cheek Enhancement -  will give the appearance of high cheekbones.
• Lip Creases -  often called smokers lines, and filler will soften the depth of these, giving a youthful appearance of the mouth area.
• Nasolabial Folds - Filler treatment can correct or soften the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.
• Tear trough - This treatment corrects the hollow-eye look, giving a natural filled out appearance under the lower eyelids.
• Jowls Correction -  You can get a smooth jaw-line by the precise placing of fillers.
• Lip Enhancement (Lip filler) - Gives your lips better definition and helps to reduce lipstick bleed.
• Lip Augmentation (Lip filler) - Will give greater volume and a fuller look to your lips.

                               Tear Troughs before and after dermal filler.

Depending on the areas being treated, the procedure normally takes 20-40 minutes and you can resume normal activities the same day. The procedure might feel uncomfortable, so we can apply a topical anaesthetic before the procedure. Usually, clients only need one dermal filler treatment to achieve their desired results, which last between 8-12 months, although some people choose to have occasional top-ups to keep up the look. While there might be a little swelling or redness, but this can easily be covered up by make-up.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have many satisfied clients who regularly return to us for dermal fillers as they give instant dramatic results. Dermal filler results are immediate - so you don't have to wait for weeks to see how the procedure has turned out. There might be slight bleeding where the needle enters the skin, or slight swelling or redness in the treated area, although this will go down very quickly.

Anti-Ageing Methods and Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are many things we can do as we age, to help keep us looking younger. The anti-ageing methods we use, fall somewhere between wrinkle cream and a face-lift... and let's face it, we'll try anything!

Creams and Serum

The makers of anti-ageing creams claim to be able to give you a face several decades younger, but which ones do we choose? The vast range of face creams, gels and serums that promise to keep us looking younger, are mind-blowing, especially the choice; anti-wrinkle, de-creasing, radiance, anti-ageing, age-defying, plumping up, mega-hydrating ... and on, and on. When using skin care products, there are certain ingredients you should look for;

Matrixyl - This skin-perfecting peptide stimulates collagen, restores elasticity and encourages skin repair.
Pro-Vitamin B5 - This ingredient can attract and hold on to moisture, leaving the skin supple and hydrated.
Retinol - this works by stimulating collagen production and increasing the turnover of skin cells.

Vitamin E - is moisturising, anti-inflammatory and can protect skin against sun damage.
Vitamin C - can help reduce inflammation, reverse sun damage and boost collagen production.

Sunscreen - A moisturiser with SPF 25 or higher is the best defence against wrinkles, dullness, brown spots and the loss of firmness.

Fake Tan
Get yourself a healthy glow. We all know that "real" sunbathing is ageing for the skin, but a subtle tan obtained by using either self tanning lotions and wipes, spray or fake tan, will give you a boost of confidence. Alternatively, a tinted moisturiser will give the skin a nice glow. There is no denying that tanned skin makes you look and feel younger, thinner and more beautiful.

Teeth Whitening
Nothing is more rejuvenating than a beautiful, white smile. It’s astounding how many years a decent smile can take off your face. People with stained and dull teeth tend not to smile because they are uncomfortable or embarrassed about their teeth. According to a recent study, having whiter teeth makes you look more successful, more employable, more attractive and at least five years younger.

Haircut and Colour
A good haircut can make you look ten years younger. We've all seen the make-over programmes on TV, where a new cut and colour instantly turns a frumpy mother into a yummy mummy! Every five years you need to reinvent yourself, not drastic major changes, just little tweaks. You can have the same basic hairstyle forever, but you do need to change it up a bit. There are plenty of changes you can make to instantly take years off your look. Maybe changing your parting, adding layers, having a fringe cut in or by choosing softer-coloured hair highlights.

Dermal Fillers
Fillers will add volume to the face by filling in the wrinkles and lines, and sometimes by plumping up areas of the face, giving your face a younger look. Area's like the cheeks, under-eye area and temples, that over time have lost volume, causing the skin to sink and sag are ideal places to fill. Small amounts of dermal filler get directly injected into the skin using a fine needle. No recovery time is needed after dermal filler treatment and you can return to usual activities straight away. Some slight swelling or bruising might be experienced at the injection area, but this doesn't usually last longer than 48 hours. Your doctor will discuss your recovery and what to expect when you attend your appointment.

Under-eye area  (Tear Troughs) before and after dermal filler treatment

We should always aim for subtle results, leaving our friends and family believing that we are simply just looking our best! Dermal fillers really are like a mini face lift!

Cheek Lift for High Cheeks & Facial Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spring is the time for renewal and change, which makes it the best time to sort out your facial issues. Full cheeks and high cheekbones are one of the signs of a youthful face, so, after a long winter, how nice would it be to look and feel refreshed by restoring the face's lost volume. Sagging and sunken cheeks can have a huge impact on the rest of the face. Over time everything seems to shift downwards and the face can start to look permanently drawn, unhappy and tired.

Cheeks and cheekbones are an important part of facial beauty, as defined cheeks create balance, improve the profile, and give a youthful impression. Some people lose facial volume with age, while others have never had contoured cheeks, but both would like to achieve fullness and a lift to the cheeks to give a more youthful appearance.

It's a fact that in our youth our cheeks are rounder, smoother and have more volume. The reason for this is down to collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin, as well as fat within the facial contours. These elements are lost as we grow older which means we lose the high cheeked look. With ageing our cheek bones look less pronounced and after the age of 30 the skin can lose 1% of its collagen and thickness. Dramatic weight loss, extensive exercising, stress and illness can all contribute to loss of fat in the face, leaving us with a gaunt, hollow-cheeked look.

One way to improve the structure of the face is by using dermal fillers as they are a great way to help restore volume. A cheek lift procedure involves injecting a dermal filler into the cheeks to replace lost volume, plump up the cheeks and help to lose the gaunt look that ageing brings about. Lifting the cheeks can give dramatic results, achieving a more youthful appearance, but doing so in a subtle way that makes it hard for others to put their finger on exactly what you've done that is different!

The ageing process can result in our upper cheeks becoming flat and saggy and it's the correction of these with dermal fillers which gives you a 'cheek lift' . This treatment instantly restores your face, giving it a youthful appearance by plumping up the apples of the cheeks and sculpting the cheek bones. Cheek enhancement is one of the most common treatments requested at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic and we have many clients returning for repeat treatments.

With over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner, Dr Bassi has performed thousands of injectable treatments and tailors his facial filler and remodelling treatment to each patient, to help them look and feel their best. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area and the procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and you can go back to work the following day. The results are immediate and last between 9-12 months.

Call the Selston Cosmetic Clinic for a free consultation and we will help you retrieve that lost volume, after all, plump, full, high cheeks are the hallmark of a beautiful face.

Oscar Winning Procedures - Botox - Lipo- PDO Threadlifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Well the 2016 Academy Awards are over for another year. The after-parties have ended and the Oscar statuettes taken home and put pride of place, either on the book shelf or in the loo. All the Oscar nominated actresses spend months of preparation beforehand, getting themselves ready for big events like the Academy Awards and they may well be breathing a sigh of relief now that it's over.

It's all fine and dandy to wear a beautiful gown from one of the top dress designers, but it's beneath the glamour where things really get interesting. Actresses endure many treatments and procedures to get them looking spectacular for the photographers as they walk up the red carpet, and by the worldwide coverage on TV and magazines as they accept their award. The Hollywood beauties need to look like winners at all times and it's a long, long road to be red-carpet-ready.

High-definition photography and social media means that actors now have every detail, good and bad, of their face and body appear in hundreds of photos in newspapers, magazines and on-line. As a result, the stakes for perfection have never been higher.

The Hollywood ladies are said to use these treatments and procedures, and luckily, most of the treatments can be used on us mere mortals too!

VITAMIN SHOTS AND IV DRIPS

• Before the Oscars, some stars have vitamin B12 shots injected straight into their blood stream to get a jolt of energy, helping them to cope with the long evening ahead.

TEETH WHITENING

• Having your teeth whitened is a necessity for the red carpet look. Stars usually get professional teeth whitening treatments a few days before major events.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

• Stars in skimpy dresses won’t dare risk the camera catching any unwanted hair or stubble, so most will have laser hair removal treatments months before the awards show.  Celebrities most done area's, are the legs, bikini line, facial hairs, underarms and arms, all depending on what the gown is covering. Having all these little hairs removed helps the skin shine in photographs.

LAST-MINUTE LIPO

• Lipo will take away those small pockets of fat on the tummy and hips, so there aren't any lumps and bumps showing in the skin-tight gown. It can tighten up the neck, giving definition and also take fat away from the upper arms, stopping those bingo wings from flapping.

MICRODERMABRASION/CHEMICAL PEELS

• To make the ladies glow on the red carpet, procedures such as facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels are used as sometimes, make-up just isn't enough!

BOTOX AND FILLERS

• Hollywood stars are no stranger to using Botox to smooth the skin and banish wrinkles, and injectable fillers can help to plump up lips and cheeks. A skilled cosmetic doctor can artistically inject Botox strategically to erase the forehead creases, the frown lines, the “eleven” lines between the eyebrows and crows feet around the eyes, leading to a very natural, brighter, softer and relaxed look to the face. With subtle application of Botox, the eyebrows can be raised to give the eyes a more open, rested and less stressed look, and the results will show within days. Botox isn't used just for the face any more, it's also used to inject into the armpits to prevent sweating, putting an end to perspiration stains around the armpits of that expensive, or borrowed gown when on the red carpet.

PDO THREADLIFTS

• Having time for a full blown face-lift in time for the ceremony isn't very realistic, so stars have the next best thing - PDO Threadlifts.  This minimally invasive face-lifting procedure has been performed very successfully for quite a few years now. PDO threads are special dissolvable threads which dissolve in 6 months. They lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin, making the face worthy of thousands of camera flashes.

So if you have a big occasion coming up, and you want to have the red carpet experience, the Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides lots of cosmetic procedures which will make you feel like a million dollars!

Cheek Filler using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield

Cheek Enhancement using Dermal Fillers

As we age, our skin loses collagen and fat which changes the facial contour. The cheeks can become hollow, and skin can sag and wrinkle, which results in a drawn and aged appearance. Non-surgical cheek enhancement is a process where dermal fillers are used to improve the appearance and shape of the cheek, without the need for surgery or cheek implants.

Pillow face, chipmunk cheeks and piggy eyes (where the eyes nearly disappear during a smile, or worse, without a smile, which happens when too much dermal filler is injected into the cheek area) are words used to describe faces that have been overfilled with fillers.

After

Celebrities, such as singer Madonna and actresses Ashley Judd and Nicole Kidman are some of the most obvious examples of stars whose new, youthful glow seems to suggest they may have had fat or filler implants in their cheeks, causing the pillow face effect.

Madonna seems more puffy in the face

Increasing numbers of celebrities are now going for the plumped-up look, as opposed to the wind tunnel effect of a face-lift or the frozen Botox look.  Since it was realised that lifting sag and filling wrinkles wasn’t everything, and that volumizing made faces look younger, certain celebrities seem to have gone to town with the volume!  But it gets to the point where the face and cheeks look puffy and over-stuffed, hence the term pillow face. Which would suggest that restraint is vital!

Less is more, and patients should be really happy with the vast improvement fillers can achieve and be happy to just leave out that last little 10%. Over-filling is just not necessary.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have had great success with using fillers. We recommend Restylane range and Radiesse for cheek bone enhancement. It restores lost facial volume in the cheeks, cheekbones and chin. It was developed to be smoother than other hyaluronic acid facial volumizers, making it easier to inject during the filler treatment and resulting in a smooth, natural look and feel.
