Treat the Facial Redness of Rosacea with Laser - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Rosacea is a chronic condition that affects the face, causing persistent redness and episodic flushing, initially starting with a tendency to blush easily. The condition causes dilated capillaries, resulting in general redness and well-defined blood vessels. The blood vessels covering these areas enlarge and dilate, producing facial thread veins, also called telangiectasia. Pimples can also occur on the face in rosacea, which resemble teenage acne, known as acne rosacea.

Symptoms often begins with flushing but other symptoms might be:

• Burning and stinging sensations
• Permanent redness
• Pimples (papules and pustules)
• Appearance of small blood vessels on the skin

Rosacea usually begins at any age over 30 and it shows as redness across the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead, tending to happen more often in women but be more severe in men. The face can embarrassingly become bright red and can cause the facial skin to feel sensitive, and can also burn or sting.

1. Cleanse your face gently before applying your make-up. Find a cleanser that's best suited to your skin type, avoiding products with harsh chemicals. Try to choose only natural-based products that won't make any flare ups worse. After cleansing, gently pat your face dry with a soft towel, without rubbing your face too harshly.
2. The fewer ingredients in your moisturiser the better and definitely fragrance free. Ultimately, you simply need a moisturiser that's gentle, rehydrates your skin and stops it from drying out.
3. A primer will help your make-up sit nicely on your skin. A green-tinted primer, used only on the affected areas, can hide the redness before you apply your foundation.
4. A good mineral-based foundation usually has fewer unwanted ingredients and will offer good coverage on your skin. Oil-based products might not hide the redness on your skin as effectively.
5. When you apply your foundation, to avoid irritating your skin you should apply it with a make-up brush and not with your fingers. It's important that you clean your brushes after every use, especially when you suffer from a skin condition, such as rosacea, that's prone to flare-ups.
6. You should choose your make-up carefully, as vibrant red lipsticks and bright eyeshadow will only magnify any remaining redness.

With the use of laser energies and expert technique, we are obtaining excellent results, not only in the cosmetic appearance but also a marked reduction in the upsetting flushing attacks of rosacea.

Remove Acne Scars With Medical Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Having acne and living with its after-effects isn't just confined to our teenage years, the scars and pock-marks left on our face can last a lifetime. Because after all, no-one is perfect, we all have flaws and most of the time we spend vast amounts of time and money trying to hide them.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have various cosmetic treatments available, ready and waiting to give you the complexion you want and deserve. Our medical grade microdermabrasion machine offers state of the art treatments from mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, and this translates into more impressive and lasting results to you.

Microdermabrasion before & after just one treatment

The outer surface layer of the skin replaces itself about every 28 days through shedding, which is known as exfoliation. Microdermabrasion treatment speeds up the rate at which the skin would normally renew itself, and revealing new, fresh glowing skin.

We all have days when our skin looks tired, dull and uneven, and pock-marked skin and large pores can make us feel self-conscious. Medical microdermabrasion is a safe, controlled treatment that intensely exfoliates and resurfaces the skin. It will polish the outer layers of the skin, revealing a healthy fresh complexion, while helping to diminish the appearance of acne scars and skin imperfections. It smooths the skin, removing small scars, uneven skin tone, birthmarks, sun damage, age and liver spots.

We perform microdermabrasion treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic with great results. It's a unique treatment that uses a light mist of crystals, which gently and painlessly dislodges dead and dull cells from the upper layer of the skin, whilst vacuum suction simultaneously removes the crystals and dead/dull cells, resulting in polished smooth and glowing skin. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, and it promotes growth of new skin and collagen, which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effect of ageing. Recovery time is negligible, you can return to work/normal activities immediately after your treatment.

Microdermabrasion treatment

Microdermabrasion was first developed in Italy in 1985, and today there are hundreds of microdermabrasion machines available, and all of them have the same basic design, to exfoliate dead skin cells. This treatment creates a smooth, even skin texture, providing a perfect surface for applying make-up. It also promotes collagen and helps to stop future breakouts, if it's done regularly.

Medical microdermabrasion is a safe procedure for women and men and it can treat specific skin conditions or be done as a facial to keep the skin in good condition.

Laser Treatment For Active Acne - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's nothing worse than getting spots,and an embarrassing outbreak of acne, whether you're a pimply teenage girl, a spotty youth or an adult is never an ideal scenario. The people we meet on a daily basis will look at our face first, and if we have spots it can cause us to feel self-conscious. We can try to help prevent our acne from getting worse, by avoiding frequent face washing, we can use a mild soap or cleanser, limit the amount of make-up we wear and try not to squeeze any blackheads, white heads or spots.

Around 80% of teenagers will get some degree of acne between the ages of 13 and 18 years because of changes to their hormone levels, which cause the sebaceous glands to produce increased amounts of sebum that can block the hair follicles. Spots usually occur on the face, arms, back and chest. The most embarrassing place to get acne, is on the face, as you can hide back or chest pimples underneath your clothing, but your face is always on show.

It's easier to treat facial acne than body acne, but there's a bigger chance of flare-ups on the face re-occurring. Acne, which is also known as acne vulgaris, is a common condition caused by skin cells that don't shed properly, plugging the pores and causing oil and bacteria to become trapped inside. As the oil and bacteria accumulate, the skin becomes inflamed and swells outwards, forming white heads, blackheads and pimples. Many things, such as cosmetics, dust, pollution and even shaving are all things that can irritate your skin or clog your pores, and they can also bring bacteria to this area, which is responsible for spots.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we use the most advanced laser technology in acne treatment and this treatment is effective for adult and adolescent acne and various grades of acne - severe, moderate or mild. The clinic's American FDA approved state of the art laser system delivers green laser light through the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural bacteria fighting defences, and significantly reducing any current and future breakouts.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort and some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses. We always offer a topical anaesthetic cream to make the treatment more comfortable and our advanced laser system has a cooled sapphire window on the tip of the laser scope to further protect and cool the skin.

Clinical data suggests that most patients find their acne will improve after about four treatments, two a week for two weeks. While many patients continue to improve in the months following treatment, some patients experience a plateau in their improvement. It might be necessary to have repeated treatments in the distant future to keep up the results.
