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 Rid of Facial Spider Veins with Laser Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Spider veins are permanently dilated capillaries; tiny blood vessels which run close to the surface of the skin and look like fine red, or sometimes purple, wavy lines. They are sometimes called thread veins or broken veins and these highly visible tiny veins sit just under the surface of the skin and are very delicate. Damaging these veins might cause them to dilate and break, and once they are broken, the veins will stay that way and won't constrict back to their normal thickness or repair themselves.

Anyone can get spider veins, and while these veins do occur on the face, a great number of them also show up on the legs. Ageing causes the weakening of veins and skin, and the ageing skin can make the veins more noticeable. Hereditary predisposition is the most common cause of spider veins and if other members of your family have these veins, it's quite likely that you will develop them too. Facial veins can become more prominent as we get older, but there are actually six main triggers that can provoke them at any age.

These are:

• Pregnancy
• Excessive sun exposure
• Temperature extremes
• Too much alcohol
• Facial injuries
• High blood pressure

Scrubbing your face too vigorously or washing with water that's too hot can also cause facial veins. Age, lifestyle, rosacea and smoking can also play their part.

The safest and most effective treatment for spider veins on the face is with laser treatment. The cool tip of the laser is slowly passed over the skin directly above the veins, and the energy from the laser is preferentially absorbed by the coloured tissues. The energy causes the veins to heat up and collapse. Some people feel a tingling or stinging sensation, although most clients report feeling only minor discomfort. Clients can have an anaesthetic cream applied if desired, to relieve any discomfort. After the laser treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins.

Laser treatment takes only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated, and recovery on most people takes no time at all, although the skin over the treated area might be mildly sensitive for a few days after the treatment. The look of spider veins will greatly improve after just one treatment, however, to fully remove them most people will need two or three sessions. After the treated veins disappear, they will not re-occur.

Remove Unsightly Facial Tread Veins With Laser Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Your self-confidence can easily be destroyed if you are unhappy about your appearance. Redness in the face, especially around the nose and cheek areas is a common problem that affects men and women of all ages. We all want beautiful skin but sometimes that doesn't come easily. It takes a lot of time to maintain a flawless complexion, and working hard at having a clean, healthy, clear skin will ultimately give you lots more confidence, but it's worth the effort.

Facial thread veins, sometimes called spider veins, can sometimes be caused by sun exposure, smoking, excess alcohol, sometimes people have a family predisposition to them, but mostly they are just part of the ageing process. Many people suffer from these red or purple blood vessels showing on their face, and they might appear as blotches, small veins or a complex network of veins, but in reality these blood vessels are not veins, but permanently dilated and broken capillaries and because they are located close to the surface of the skin, they are highly visible.

There are things you can do to lessen or take away the spider veins on your face, and one treatment is a laser procedure, which is simple, safe and a quick way to remove them. Laser treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area you need treating. A laser gets applied to the skin directly above the spider veins, and the energy from the laser is preferentially absorbed by coloured tissues. The laser energy causes the spider veins to first heat up, and then collapse. After the treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins.

Most clients feel only minimal discomfort, maybe some tingling or stinging sensations, but a topical anaesthetic cream can easily be applied if it's needed. The treated skin might be slightly sensitive for a few days after treatment, but most people need no recovery time at all, and can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. The spider veins will look better after just one treatment, although in some cases, more than one session maybe required to get long-lasting results to get rid of them completely. Most people will need two or three courses of treatment, scheduled a month apart.

Removing visible facial spider or thread veins is now almost painless with the latest laser treatments, removing the thread veins, revealing clearer-looking skin. It's advisable to do lots of moisturising afterwards and sunscreen application is essential to protect the skin after treatment.

Laser Treatment For Spider and Thread Veins - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, both our skin and our veins become weakened, and this can cause spider veins to appear more visible on ageing or mature skin. Tiny blood vessels which become dilated and appear close to the surface of the skin, are known as broken, thread or spider veins. These veins are fine purple or red wiggly lines.

Spider veins are more likely to appear on women than on men and they are normally found on the legs but can also appear on the face, breasts and arms. People, especially women, who have spider veins on the face and legs can find them embarrassing or unsightly, and this can really affect their confidence. However, you don't need to suffer, as there are treatments available that will quickly and safely eliminate these unsightly thread veins to give your skin a clearer, more attractive appearance.

Spider veins are like varicose veins, but smaller and nearer to the surface of the skin and they can resemble tree branches or spider webs. They might cover a large, or small area. While we perform surgery on the larger varicose veins, laser treatment can help with the smaller veins.

Laser treatment benefits include:

• Quickly and safely eradicating the thread veins on the legs
• Veins will only recur in a small percentage of cases
• Treatment can help to restore your confidence
• You are likely to see ongoing improvements after each treatment

There's usually no obvious cause for getting thread veins, they tend to develop;

• As we get older and the skin and blood vessels become less elastic.
• It's thought hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and the menopause provoke their development.
• You can also inherit a family tendency to the problem.
• The elements - too much sunbathing, exposure to wind or extreme temperatures.
• Medical issues - corticosteroid medicines and radiotherapy.
• Jobs involving prolonged standing may aggravate the condition, but doesn't actually cause it.
• Veins may also be affected by smoking and alcohol. 

Although you may not like the look of them, thread veins aren't dangerous, but they tend to become larger and increase in number over time. The safest, most effective treatment for spider veins is laser treatment. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic , we apply a laser to the skin directly above the spider veins. The energy from the laser is preferentially absorbed by coloured tissues, such as spider veins and the energy causes the spider veins to heat up and collapse. After treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins.

Spider Veins - Laser Away Unsightly Leg Veins - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When the summer arrives, as long as we get sunny weather of course, it's the time most of us want to wear shorts, skirts and bathing suits. But for those with spider or thread veins, wearing skimpy, summer clothes is not an option. Women of every age can get unattractive leg veins, they are all too common and can cause a great deal of embarrassment for many. Until recent years, the only option was to cover them with trousers or tights.

Thread veins tend to develop as we age, with our skin and blood vessels becoming less elastic. They can also be associated with:

• Pregnancy and menopause
• Family predisposition
• Sunbathing
• Exposure to wind or extreme temperatures

Spider veins treated with laser energy. Before & after.

Spider veins are very common, they appear on the skin in a reddish, purple and blue zigzag pattern. Thread veins are often a sign of getting older, and as the body ages, the valves in your veins weaken, and blood can collect, causing your veins to enlarge and become more visible. These veins can appear all over the body, but they are most commonly seen on the legs, face, ankles, feet and thighs. Spider veins are like varicose veins but smaller and they're also nearer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins.

Poor blood flow and circulation cause spider veins, so you can help prevent spider veins by:

• Try to avoid crossing your legs for long periods when sitting, as this can cause weakening of the vein walls.
• Avoiding sitting or standing for long periods as this might aggravate the condition.
• Limit the time you wear high-heeled shoes, as heels put extra pressure on your legs, which restricts the blood flow from the heart to the legs.
• Support tights help to stimulate your blood vessels and improve your circulation.
• It's important to use sun cream to protect the skin on your face, but it can also help prevent spider veins from appearing on your legs, calves and ankles.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides the latest cutting-edge, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for leg and facial veins. We apply light energy from a laser on a vein, making the vein disappear. Laser energy gets expunged via the skin into the vein, the wall breaks down and closes and the sealed vein is then dissolved and absorbed by the body.

Why put up with unsightly thread veins when there is such a simple solution to permanently banish those tell-tale signs of ageing.

Laser Treatment for Spider Leg Veins - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Many people suffer from red or purple blood vessels on their legs, which are not veins but usually dilated capillaries, and these are commonly known as Spider Leg Veins. Getting these veins is part of the ageing process, caused by over exposure to the sun or you might simply have a family predisposition to them. Leg thread veins are very common, although lots of people feel that the dilated or broken capillaries compromise their appearance and undermines their confidence.

Superficial leg veins, occur when tiny veins congregate below the surface of the skin, causing red, blue or purple discolorations on the skin. Spider veins get their name from the shape of the visible veins, some are quite small, while others are more noticeable. Although they might make you feel embarrassed, they are harmless and any treatment done on them, is usually done for cosmetic reasons only. Spider veins tend to appear mostly on the thighs, ankles and calves, and are more common in women than men.

These spider veins are essentially enlarged superficial blood vessels, red to purple in colour. Leg thread veins can run in the family, appear following injury to the leg, during pregnancy or through hormonal changes and any job that requires standing for long periods. Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides the latest leading, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for spider leg veins.

Before the procedure, we use a topical anesthetic cream to decrease discomfort. Laser treatments involve minimal pain, however, whist we deliver the laser pulses to the treatment area, some people might experience a light stinging sensation on the skin. Leg vein treatments take roughly 15 to 30 minutes, the time varies, depending on the number of veins that need treating. We divide appointments for treatments into eight-week segments, and two treatments usually leave the best results. Downtime is minimal and immediate return to regular activities is allowed.

Help prevent spider veins by:

• Avoid sitting or standing for long periods.
• Poor blood flow and circulation cause spider veins. When sitting down, try to avoid crossing your legs for long periods, as this can cause the vein walls to weaken and spider veins to appear.
• Try to avoid wearing high-heeled shoes, as heels put extra pressure on your legs, restricting the blood flow from the heart to the legs, and this limited circulation can cause spider veins to appear.
• Raise your feet when you're sitting down. This will improve the circulation and help regulate the blood flow in your veins, reducing swelling in the ankles and calves, reducing the risk of spider veins.
• Wear support tights. They help to stimulate your blood vessels and improve your circulation, and poor circulation often causes spider veins.
• It's important to use sun cream to protect the skin on your face, but it can also help prevent spider veins from appearing on your legs, calves and ankles.

Infrequently, the treated area will be mildly swollen and sensitive for several weeks. Keep the area well moisturised and away from sunlight. You should avoid strenuous exercise and we recommend wearing support tights or stocks one week after the treatment. It takes about eight weeks for the treated veins to disappear.

Botox Treatment for Frown Lines, Forehead Wrinkles & Furrows - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's nothing great about ageing, nothing! All the talk about "with age comes wisdom" is all very well, but it also comes with wrinkles! It's allowed, at that stage in our lives to be a bit more selfish and do all the things we’ve always wanted to do, and that's when all the lines and furrows begin to develop and make us feel old!

Many women, and even some men, can feel anxious about not only ageing, but also the effects of ageing and it’s only natural that some people want to turn back the hands of time. Ageing, is of course inevitable, and this means changes to our bodies which we can't prevent. We tend to notice these changes first in our skin, and things like wrinkles, furrows, a loss of volume & elasticity all become more common as we age.

When our skin has spent years exposed to the elements, the description "a weathered face" can perfectly describe how it's suffered the effects of harsh seasons and now looks a bit old, wrinkled, and lived in! On many people, frown lines produce an angry or sad look that detracts from a pleasant facial appearance.

Do's :

• Wear sunny weather sunglasses. They will help you from squinting in the sunshine, creating more wrinkles.
• Moisturise daily.
• Getting a full night’s sleep will help cut down on stress, a primary source of wrinkles.
• Always use your reading glasses while working at a computer screen or watching TV and reading.
• Drink plenty of water.

Don'ts :

• Avoid smoking as it breaks down collagen, which gives skin its elasticity.

Frown lines or furrows are how we describe the wrinkles that begin to form horizontally across the forehead, and between the eyes. When we are concentrating, looking into the sun or even just talking, the muscles contracting on the forehead will cause the skin to crinkle up. Also raising the eyebrows, scowling, squinting, glaring or frowning will, over time, develop these lines.

This usually happens when you reach your thirties, but if you don't take good care of your skin it can happen earlier and later for those who do. Like other lines on the face, frown lines and furrows are usually consequences of age and use. When we are children, the skin is supple and elastic and when we make lines with our facial expressions, they naturally return to its line free self when we stop. But as the years go by, the skin ceases being so responsive and it becomes thinner and less elastic and the lines we get on our forehead gradually get deeper, until they are permanent.

Nowadays, thanks to cosmetic surgery, we can alter the things that we don’t like about ourselves. Everyone has their own idea what their appearance should look like, and no matter what that preference might be, having a cosmetic procedure makes it incredibly achievable. Non-invasive botox injections are perfect for getting rid of those frown lines and furrows, helping you to regain a smoother forehead and reduce the signs of ageing.

The Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers a botox Cosmetic Clinic service Monday – Friday with afternoon and evening appointments and Saturday morning appointments. Dr. S. R. Bassi  heads the clinic team, assisted by an experienced aesthetic assistant.

The botox injection procedure takes around fifteen minutes and results give a youthful refreshing look with normal, natural facial expressions. Prior to the procedure, we take an appropriate full medical history and examination, we discuss your requirements and expectations and  fully explain the treatment procedure.

To regain a smoother, younger looking you, call us and get a free consultation. We'll turn that frown into a smile in minutes!
