Dermaroller Treatment to Improve the Skin's Look & Texture - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we age, our collagen levels decline and our skin loses its elasticity and this can leave the skin looking tired and lined. Dermaroller treatment, also known as skin needling, reduces lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production, making the skin look fuller and improving the texture. 

Acne can leave behind scars and pock marks and the dermaroller procedure can help to regenerate the damaged skin, smoothing the scars and evening out the skin tone and texture. This will take time because the new collagen is forming, new skin cells are generating and the blood supply is becoming enhanced. Often you'll notice some improvement in the skin texture about one week after your treatment, but it can take about six weeks before we see bigger improvements, and over the following months the process will continue, giving the skin a natural and long-lasting enhancement. 

Dermaroller is a handheld, sterilized, single-use roller with thousands of micro-medical needle-columns. It's passed across the skin, causing tiny micro punctures in the surface of the skin. Each column penetrates into the dermis of the skin and afterwards will rapidly close, enabling the skin to quickly recover. This stimulates the skin, causing it to repair and regenerate itself safely and naturally, creating smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin.

Dermaroller can treat;

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne or surgical scars
• Large pores
• Sun damage
• Age spots and hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Rough patches and texture 
• Chicken pox scars

The number of treatments needed will really depend on how bad the problem is. It's recommended you have three treatments, six weeks apart, but more treatments might be needed. After treatment, your body will start to naturally regenerate and repair the skin, working below the surface in the dermis, generating new skin cells and enhancing the blood supply, as new collagen and elastin is forming. 

Dermaroller doesn't need any downtime. After the treatment your skin will look flushed and it might feel a bit warm and tight, but this will fade after a couple of hours and any redness will disappear over the next few days. You will notice these effects less with each treatment, as your skin will become more resilient, the more treatments you have.

Aftercare following dermaroller treatment is important, with sun protection and moisturisation being vital. The cosmetic doctor will recommend you to use a moisturiser because as your skin begins to repair it might feel drier as it undergoes the repair and rejuvenation process. You must avoid sun exposure for two weeks after the treatment and use a chemical free high factor sun screen daily.

Laser Treatment for Pigmentation & Hyperpigmentation - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Feeling comfortable in your skin is a great thing, but how comfortable do you feel when your skin is less than perfect? Pigmentation on the skin can badly affect self-esteem and confidence, with women using concealers, foundation and colour correctors to cover up an uneven skin tone. While being able to cover up pigmentation is easy enough, sometimes, once in a while, it's nice to leave the face bare.

When pigmentation occurs, it shows up as patches of skin turning darker in colour, blotches, dark spots and circles, or general darkening of the skin, all causing an uneven skin tone. The reason we get pigmentation on the skin is down to a number of things such as genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions and burns or spots. The visible effects of pigmentation can become more obvious with age, so earlier treatment can help with this and prevent any further damage.

 

As well as pigmentation, there is also hyperpigmentation, and this is when we get dark patches on the skin due to over-exposure to the sun. Hyperpigmentation is a concentrated increase in your skin's melanin, where patches of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin.

There are many reasons we get skin pigmentation including;

• Increased sun exposure
• Genetics
• Medical conditions
• Pregnancy
• Trauma to the skin
• Hormonal changes

You can get dark, patchy areas of skin from using sunbeds, because sunbeds give out a high dose of UV light, causing an excess production of melanin, making pigmentation show unevenly on the skin. There are several treatment options depending on the type of pigmentation problem. 

Treatments for hyperpigmentation:

Chemical peels - these are an effective treatment option. A skin peel removes blemishes and dull cells from the surface of the skin, improving the texture and smoothness of the skin.

Microdermabrasion - treatments for mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments translates into more impressive and lasting results. It's popularly used for the face but it's also great for the neck, chest and hands.

Laser treatment - targets pigmentation, breaks-up, it lightens deep sun damage and hormonal melasma, creating a more even skin tone.

The laser treatment for removing pigmentation is ideal to use on any area of the body. Pigmentation happens on areas of the body that are exposed to the elements, and is most commonly found on the face and hands. Laser is a safe treatment option and it won't harm the skin, the average procedure lasts around 30 minutes and most clients will notice a dramatic improvement in their skin after the first treatment.

  

Benefits of laser skin pigmentation treatment:

• It's safe to use on the face, hands, neck and chest
• There's no recovery time, you can return to normal activities immediately
• It's effective - giving outstanding results every time

Prevention is better than a cure, so as pigmentation and hyperpigmentation is largely caused by over exposure to the sun, it's highly recommended that you wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily to keep your skin safe and stop any further damage occurring. If it's very hot and sunny, then wear a hat and don’t expose your skin to the sun during the hottest part of the day.

Cosmetic Treatments For Ageing Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our hands manage to do a lot throughout the day and if we don’t take care of them, they might begin to look older than they really are. The hands can age faster than the face; with years of washing up, daily use, sunshine and environmental factors causing the skin on our hands to dry out and look old beyond their years. The hands get as much sun exposure as the face and yet we don't seem to pay them the same amount of attention.

Practicing a good skin care routine helps to keep our skin looking youthful and healthy, but unfortunately we don't seem give the same careful attention to our hands, as we do to our face. As we age, the veins and bones become more visible because the skin on the hands is thinner and more delicate than elsewhere, and just as we lose fat and collagen from the face and body, we also lose it on our hands, making them look old and skeletal.

These days we make a lot of effort to look after our body and face, with more of us opting for facial treatments like botox, dermal fillers and skin treatments to help keep us looking younger and rejuvenated. Some women take such good care to keep their face looking good, that they find 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.

The skin on your hands is a dead giveaway of ageing, and over time they can lose their firmness and volume, they can go dry, scaly and get crêpey skin and get protruding veins and age spots. Age spots are also called liver or sun spots, which are areas of hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. Since UV exposure causes age spots, the best way to prevent them is to protect your hands from the sun by using sun screen. Age spots can easily become less visible by using skin bleaching agents, fading or lightening creams or laser therapy.

• Exfoliating the skin with microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and make your skin softer and brighter, and can also help to even out the skin tone. When you exfoliate  your face at home, you should apply the same product to your hands.
• Always moisturizer your hands after they've been in water, by applying anti-ageing moisturizer whilst they are still damp.
• Chemical Peels will take away any dead skin, improving the skin tone, softening the skin and eliminating brown spots.
• Laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help plump up your skin.
• Dermal filler injections will correct volume loss in the back of wrinkly hands, which will improve the skin quality and plump your hands up again. A dermal filler treatment with hyaluronic acid, will help to plump the skin and make them wrinkle free.

Microdermabrasion Treatments For A Smoother, Healthier Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, treatments such as microdermabrasion and medical microdermabrasion are used for mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, mild acne scars and they can also help to unclog and minimise the pores. The treatment can lessen age spots, hyperpigmentation and superficial sun damage.

Exfoliation leaves your skin in fantastic condition and is an important part of your skin care regime. It takes away all the old, dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking fresh and bright.

Pigmentation before and after microdermabrasion treatment

When we are exfoliating our skin, there are some things we should, and shouldn't do;

• Many people exfoliate every day, thinking it will leave them with a clearer skin, but in fact over-exfoliating can damage healthy skin cells, leaving the skin irritated, dry and red. Exfoliating twice a week is enough to keep your complexion looking bright.
• Use a good quality exfoliator with active ingredients which encourage cell turnover. This will help to take off any dull and dead skin cells and help to keep the pores unclogged and clear, leaving you with a brighter complexion.
• A professional exfoliation treatment such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion can penetrate deeper into the skin than products used at home. The expert treatments will cause the dull, dead skin cells to turnover faster and can also treat a great number of skin concerns.
• Don't exfoliate irritated skin. It's important that you don't damage the skin’s barrier, so if exfoliating has caused skin irritation or made the skin over-sensitive, then you should stop exfoliating. Once the skin has returned to normal, then you can introduce exfoliation back into your skin care regime. 

Different products may work better for you than others, depending on your what your skin type is and what skin concerns you have. Find out your skin type to find out which exfoliator is best for you.

The microdermabrasion treatment uses a light mist of crystals on the upper layer of the skin, which will gently and painlessly dislodge the dead and dull cells, whilst its vacuum suction simultaneously removes both the crystals and dead cells. This results in a polished, smooth and glowing skin.

Microdermabrasion improves;

• Blotchy, uneven skin tones
• Dull lifeless skin
• Enlarged pores/blemishes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damaged skin/age spots
• Acne scarring
• Blackheads and white heads

Microdermabrasion treatment can help you improve any skin conditions or imperfections such as; fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, oily or dull skin, and reduce blackheads and pigmentation. Microdermabrasion gives fast and permanent results.

Regain Your Glowing Complexion With A Chemical Peel - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes we feel that our skin has lost its youthful glow and a lot of us put this down to age, believing the skin will automatically begin to get dull and wrinkly as we get older. However, achieving a glowing complexion and a flawless skin is possible whatever our age. There are many ways to improve the skin's condition, and one of the best treatments to do this, is a chemical skin peel.

Chemical peels come in many forms and can work wonders. They are ideal for those looking for a treatment that can reduce lines and wrinkles, as well as plump and restore the radiance in your skin.  There are no needles, injections or surgical procedures involved, making it an easy and painless way to achieve youthful skin.

Chemical peels are most commonly applied to the face; however, the neck and hands can also be treated. They can also help:

• Reduce the fine lines around the eyes and mouth
• Improve mild scars
• Treat certain types of acne
• Treat wrinkles caused by sun-damage and ageing
• Improve the look and texture of the skin
• Reduce age spots, freckles, and pigmentation on the skin

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer revolutionary medical skin peels which are an easy and stress-free procedure. Firstly there's a thorough cleansing of the skin, before we apply the chemical solution. The peel solution creates a controlled wound, and this will let new and healthy skin form in its place. Chemical peels are pain-free, there's no skin shredding, no skin flaking, no irritation and no redness. They promote growth of new skin, collagen and elastin, which thickens the skin and improves resistance to the effects of ageing. They will make your face look fresh and youthful, improving the skins texture and tone.

Chemical peels can benefit :

Fine lines
They work by dissolving dead skin cells. The solution causes the surface of the skin to peel away and after it heals, it will reveal healthier, tighter layers of skin.
Acne
Penetrating the surface layer of the skin will aid in the shedding of dead skin cells. Chemical peels are effective in treating acne, also helping to reduce acne scarring.
Uneven Skin Tone/ Pigmentation
Many people are prone to hyperpigmentation. Too much melanin in the skin is responsible for patches on the skin, which can easily be treated with skin peels.
Problem skin
Chemical peels can restore the texture of dry, sensitive or oily skin. Getting rid of the unwanted dead skin cells will give fresher skin, and tighter brighter and smaller pores. It's a good treatment to bring new and fresh skin cells to the surface.

After treatment don’t :

Pick at the skin -  picking off dry, flaky skin before it's ready to come off, can result in scarring and redness.
Exfoliate - Facial scrubs will only cause more irritation to the treated skin and this could result in scarring.
Over moisturise - The whole purpose of a chemical peel, is to peel the skin, so to hydrate the peeling skin when it's shedding, won't give you the best benefit.

Laser Treatment to Correct Pigmentation Marks on Face, Hands & Chest - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Skin pigmentation disorders affect the colour and tone of the skin. Our body contains pigment called melanin which decides the colour of our skin, hair and eyes. People with a darker skin will have more melanin in their skin cells than those with lighter skin, and if the skin cells become damaged or unhealthy, it will affect the melanin production, which in turn, will affect your skin.

Hyperpigmentation can happen for many reasons: over exposure to the sun, genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions or as a result of burns and it can also become more obvious as we get older, causing liver spots and if left untreated, it can worsen. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin.

Hyperpigmentation -  If your body makes too much melanin, parts of your skin may turn darker
Hypopigmentation -   Too little melanin, or if the cells that produce pigment get damaged, then parts of your skin may turn lighter 

Benefits of laser skin pigmentation treatment:

• The procedure is safe for the face, hands, neck and chest
• There's no recovery time, you can return to normal activities immediately
• It's effective - outstanding results every time

Laser treatment can help resolve these skin pigmentation problems, resurfacing the top layers of the skin and causing sun damage and pigmentation to disappear. Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced laser technology to offer a safe and effective easy way to treat irregular pigmentation. It works by damaging the top layers of the skin, forcing the collagen to kick in and start repairing the damage, so after a few weeks the skin will looker plumper and revitalised. The laser system allows us to resurface the skin and as the laser stimulates the collagen production, you’ll see a continuous improvement in texture and smoothness of the skin over several months.

• Treatment course - 2 treatments, each 4 weeks apart
• Back to work - Next day
• Duration Of Results - Permanent
• Anaesthetic - Local
• Results - Permanent

Depending on the size of the affected area, the treatment sessions can take between 5 to 30 minutes. In our experience a single treatment session will get the desired result, but occasionally two treatments might be needed. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, although some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin during the laser delivery, but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable. Afterwards, the skin on the treated areas will become darker, but this will flake off after a few days. You’ll most likely be able to see an improvement in skin tone and texture as soon as the redness fades after one treatment.

Freshen Up Dull Tired Skin With Chemical Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

None of us want to age either gracefully, or otherwise. It would seem that every time we look in a magazine we see beautiful celebrities, and oddly enough, they never seem to age. We all know that there is a lot of time, effort, money and cosmetic procedures that goes into making them look young and beautiful.

There's a lot of things that cause the skin to age. We can't do anything about some of them, but there are others that we can influence. The one thing we can't change is the natural ageing process, when the skin starts to become thinner and drier, and it's our genes that mostly control these changes and when they occur. The natural ageing process will see the face losing some the fulness, and we will all get visible lines and wrinkles appearing on our face.

The ageing we can influence, is the extrinsic ageing, and this is when the environment and our lifestyle choices can cause the skin to prematurely age. We can slow down the effects this type of ageing has on our skin, by taking some preventive actions.

The application of a Chemical Peel

• Over-drying your skin - using strong cleansers on the skin strips essential moisture, causing dead skin to build up.
• Eye wrinkles - use eye creams to keep the eyes hydrated and nourished, which can help to prevent ageing eye wrinkles.
• Healthy looking skin - regular facials and chemical peels will help to destroy dry, dead skin cells, allowing new glowing skin to replace it. 

How well you care for your skin from an early age can make a great deal of difference in how wrinkles form on your face later on. We can't go back in time, however, there are some tips and techniques that will keep your complexion looking radiant and glowing and make you feel more youthful.

• Exposure to the sun is the main cause of skin ageing. Sun protection is the best way to prevent this, by using sunscreen every single day, not just when it's sunny.
• Don't smoke. Smoking causes damage to collagen and elastin, and when collagen in the face becomes less elastic, it allows the soft tissue features of the face to sag. Smoking increases cholesterol, preventing you from getting enough oxygen to your skin and it can also cause lines and wrinkles to form around the mouth.
• Exfoliate regularly. This will make sure you remove the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. You can either exfoliate manually, using a facial scrub or at a clinic or beauty salon with a chemical peel.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we find that exfoliating the skin using medical chemical peels, helps to increase the skin cell turnover, shedding dead skin cells and pushing newer ones to form. The peels penetrate into the dermis of your skin and stimulate the fibroblasts deep within the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture and skin tone, giving your face a fresher, smoother and youthful appearance.

So while we can't stop time, happily there are things we can do to slow down the ageing process and repair some of the damage already done.

Get Fresher Smoother Skin With Dermaroller Therapy - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you feel your face is looking a bit tired, or you feel self-conscious about acne scars, or maybe your aged and sun-damaged skin is getting you down, then dermaroller, also known as microneedling, is a skin treatment you can have that stimulates skin renewal, and helps the skin appear fresher, firmer and younger.

Dermaroller therapy activates production of new collagen and fibroblast formation, which helps to reduce wrinkles and also improves the texture of the skin. The skin’s natural healing process helps to restore a smoother, clearer complexion and it can also help improve the appearance of many types of scarring.

Dermaroller procedures are one of the few skin treatments that are 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, resulting in a much shorter healing time.

The dermaroller instrument is a sterile roller which gets rolled across the skin, puncturing the outermost layers of the skin to create tiny pin prick injuries which are not visible to the naked eye, and these tiny wounds will stimulate new collagen deposition and regenerate new, healthy skin cells. The wounds will close within an hour, and you see visible signs of skin rejuvenation after just six to eight weeks and this can continue for up to a year after the treatment. The eventual process results in tight skin, fewer lines and wrinkles with a softening and reduction in scarring.

• Used to treat:
• Scarring​​
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin that lacks firmness and elasticity
• Enlarged pores​
• Acne and chicken pox scars
• Sun damage ​
• To lighten pigmentation marks
• To improve the appearance of stretch marks from pregnancy or weight loss
• To improve the appearance of cellulite

The dermaroller treatment has many benefits, including reducing stretch marks, scarring and wrinkles. It stimulates collagen and elastin and can repair and plump up the skin. Dermaroller results create smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.

• Procedure Time - up to 75 minutes
• Back To Work - Immediately
• Anaesthetic - Anaesthetic cream if needed
• Downtime - 1-5 days
• Duration Of Results - Maintenance courses might be required
• Results - Course of 4 to 6 treatments recommended

A Clearer Complexion Using Chemical Peels & Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all wish for a flawless complexion, and we usually resort to wearing foundation to cover the true condition of our skin. Many of us have experienced some sort of skin problem, and whether it's a blemish, pigmentation, sunburn, hormonal changes or acne scarring, these changes in our skin can sometimes make us feel self-conscious and embarrassed.

Pigmentation is the colouring of a person’s skin. Healthy skin will appear normal in colour, but the colour may change because of illness or injury and become darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation)

Chemical Peel Treatment

Liver spots, mottled brown patches and large freckles on the face, chest and hands affects millions of women. Liver spots occur because of damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet radiation and the best way to prevent this happening is by using a high factor sun cream on exposed skin from an early age. In some women, higher levels of hormones during pregnancy can cause a darkening of the skin across the upper lip, nose, cheeks and forehead, and it can also happen as a consequence of taking the contraceptive pill.

1. Sun damage contributes to uneven skin texture, and exposure will cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin and it's these which give the skin its smooth texture and resiliency.
2. Smoking also causes collagen and elastin damage, contributing to rough, prematurely aged skin.
3. Ageing causes of irregular skin texture because the cells on the skin's surface don’t shed as quickly.
4. Dead skin cells build up, leaving rough skin and a dull appearance.
5. Dull, tired skin occurs when your skin isn’t receiving enough oxygen and blood, making it look dull and weary.

Chemical peels offer a deep exfoliation, stimulating production of new collagen.
These unique non-invasive skin peels can give dramatic results for:

• Dull lifeless skin
• Ageing skin, sun damaged skin
• Irregular pigmentation
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Active acne

Microdermabrasion Treatment

Microdermabrasion treats an uneven skin tone. Treatment promotes growth of new skin and collagen, which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effect of ageing. It's popularly used for the face, neck, chest and hands.
Microdermabrasion improves:

• Blotchy, uneven skin tones
• Dull lifeless skin
• Enlarged pores/blemishes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damaged skin/age spots
• Acne scarring
• Blackheads and white heads

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.

Ways to Keep your Face Looking Younger for Longer - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

You can't stop your face from getting older, and it's hard when you see the noticeable signs of ageing when you look at yourself in the mirror. Whether it's the little wrinkles around your eyes or lips, or maybe age or pigmentation spots, you can soften the effects ageing with non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

Botox treatment for fine lines and wrinkles

Although there are obvious causes of premature ageing, there are also many common things that are less obvious, which over time can take a toll on the skin and add years to your face. While many of these tips might seem like common sense, following them will help your skin stay younger, for longer. It's never too soon to start looking after your skin.

Wear sun cream

Exposure to the sun is the number one reason for skin ageing. Over time it damages the skin, causing wrinkles, loss of elasticity, visible blood vessels, hyperpigmentation 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:

• The loss of elasticity in the skin.
• Translucent, thinner looking skin.
• Wrinkles and fine lines.
• Leathery, dryer, rough skin.
• Liver spots on the face, back of hands, arms, and body.
• Skin Cancer.
• Broken veins and capillaries on the face.
   

Laser treatment can takeaway broken veins on the face

Don't pick your spots!
Given the amount of germs and bacteria that's under the nails and on your hands, it's just not sanitary to touch and pick at your pimples. Picking at them can cause breakouts and even make existing spots worse. You shouldn't be picking at your zits, ingrown hairs, blackheads or anything else on your face. It can have permanent effects and even leave scars.

Anti-ageing skin care.
Cleanse: Gently wash your face both morning and night, but avoid cleansers that have high alcohol content and other drying agents._
Exfoliate: As dead cells accumulate, the complexion becomes dull and uneven, so exfoliate your skin weekly, using a gentle facial scrub which will keep the skin smooth, healthy and fresh.
Moisturise: Apply moisturiser over your face twice a day, not forgetting to treat the neck and the backs of your hands. Dry, ageing skin loses its elasticity, and this is when wrinkles begin to form.

Don't sleep with your make-up on!
It's said that a third of women at least twice a week, go to bed without removing their make-up, admit it, we've all done it! Make-up becomes clogged in the pores, making them look larger and resulting in a decline in the collagen, making the skin less supple. Leaving make-up on through the night results in an overgrowth of bacteria on your face, causing acne and giving the skin an unhealthy look.

Do not share make-up.
Sharing make-up is not a good idea. You risk catching infections when sharing someone else's make-up. Sharing mascara brushes can pass on eye infections, and using second-hand lipstick and chap sticks can spread viruses, like cold sores.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer non-surgical cosmetic treatment for the face, and with so many years experience we understand the many reasons why people come to us for help. Dr. Bassi knows that the point of good cosmetic procedures isn't to make someone look totally different, but to make subtle changes, making you look fresher, giving you clearer, younger looking skin and leaving you feeling confident and happy with your appearance.

We offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments 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 derma roller and chemical peels to smooth the surface of your skin. We offer a variety of cosmetic procedures for the face, why not book in for a free consultation to find out more and see how we can help.

Brighter, Healthier Skin with Dermaroller Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you feel like your skin is looking tired, dull and a bit unhealthy, then it's time to do something about it! Dermaroller is a procedure that stimulates the skin, helping it to regenerate and repair itself safely, naturally creating a smoother, brighter, healthier and younger-looking skin.

Dermaroller Treatment is also known as Skin Resurfacing or Skin Needling, and Selston Cosmetic Clinic has offered this cosmetic treatment since 2006. Our fully qualified doctor, Dr. Bassi is specially trained and highly experienced in carrying out this treatment with fantastic results.

There are many reasons why people choose to have dermaroller:

• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face and décolletage
• Softening the look of stretch marks
• Reducing the appearance of hyper-pigmentation
• Revitalising aged and sun-damaged skin
• Tightening pores, which become larger as we get older
• Rejuvenating hands and minimising the signs of ageing
• Improving the appearance of acne scarring, chicken pox scars and rosacea
• The treatment requires no down time and recovery times are shorter than chemical skin peels
• It naturally stimulates the skin to repair itself
• It's suitable for all skin tones and types (although it's not suitable for you if you have - active acne, eczema, psoriasis, raised moles or warts)

The medical needling instrument is a sterile roller, which the doctor rolls across the skin, causing a many micro-punctures to the lower layers of the skin, these stimulate the body to produce it own collagen. Clinical studies show that formation of collagen increases by 400%. The eventual process results in tight skin, fewer lines and wrinkles and softening and reducing scars.

We apply a topical anaesthetic cream before the procedure to numb the skin. The dermaroller device produces thousands of micro-medical needle-columns in the skin. Each column will penetrate into the dermis of the skin and will close rapidly, enabling the skin to recover quickly, usually in the same day. Once the procedure is over, your body will start to naturally regenerate and working below the surface in the dermis, repair the skin.

Immediately after the dermaroller procedure your skin will have a red appearance and may feel warm and tighter than usual, but this will start to subside over 24 hours. Once the redness has cleared, it’s important to take care of your skin with a daily effective anti-ageing regime. It may take up to 6 weeks before you see any visible signs of regeneration and repair and the results will continue to improve over the following months, giving you a natural and long-lasting enhancement. The procedure needs repeating every 8 to 12 weeks and optimal results are noticeable after 4-6 sessions. Clinical experience has shown the results are not temporary, but endure for many years (2-3 years)

This procedure has created great interest in the community because of its:

• Outstanding results
• Minimal downtime compared to other procedures, such as deep chemical peels.
• Client high satisfaction
