Look Younger with a Selston Sculpt Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are lots of things that cause our skin to age. There are some things we can't do anything about and there's others we can influence, but one thing that we can't change is the natural ageing process. Over time, we'll all get visible lines on our face and it's only natural for the face to lose some of its youthful fullness and our skin to become thinner and drier.

A face that ages gracefully is a beautiful thing, but there are changes that occur with age that we would like to slow down. We would all like to hide our lines and wrinkles, cover up crow’s feet, fill out sunken cheeks and get rid of the bags under our eyes and get back the skin we had in our youth.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we have a treatment we call the Selston Sculpt which is an original non-invasive facelift procedure, it reduces the signs of ageing without any invasive surgical procedures. We administer treatments to the face via injection; to fight wrinkles, lines and sagging facial skin, using dermal fillers of various densities to restructure and harmonise the face, resulting in a naturally looking, balanced, contoured, fresher face.

The Selston Sculpt facelift treatment works on all age groups with fantastic results. A natural looking result from the Selston Sculpt using the best techniques with dermal fillers can address different problems.

The Selston Sculpt is a cosmetic procedure created by Dr Bassi and it's exclusive to Selston Cosmetic Clinic.

It's an original facelift procedure that naturally reduces the signs of ageing by removing fine lines. It gives the face an instant, radiant and glowing complexion.

This is another brilliant result from the Selston Sculpt, giving a natural enhancement for this lovely woman, and it shows in the before and after photos how we can take those age lines away but still giving her that natural refreshed look.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With a PDO Thread Lift Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young and in our prime, the skin on our face is usually smooth and taut but we all grow older, and the worst part of this is seeing the way our face ages. These changes can make us feel self-conscious and many of us would like to turn back time.

It's quite demoralising when we get to an age when our features are no longer as sharp or as defined as they once were. The facial profile suddenly becomes a bit blurry and we notice that our cheekbones are starting to sag down our face, causing the jaw-line to become undefined and the neck starts to look wrinkly.

Collagen is lost over time, making the skin less elastic. This looser skin is gradually pulled downwards, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, and resulting in jowls in the lower face, making us look older. Today's women prefer less invasive and non-invasive treatments that involve less recovery time and less self-care after the treatment.

An ideal cosmetic treatment that will tighten and tone the loose skin, without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure, is a PDO thread lift. This thread lift can deliver what is essentially a face lift, but without the invasive surgery. There are no cuts or incisions, just simple injections which we place in strategic places on the face.

A PDO thread lift will lift loose or sagging skin, improving and rejuvenating the of the structure of the face. PDO threads are inserted into the skin with a very fine needle, either just under the skin, or in the fatty layer just beneath the skin, lifting the tissue and muscle and greatly improving the texture of the skin. It's a minimally invasive treatment achieving tighter, younger looking skin and lasting for up to two years. The threads are absorbable so they don't need removing from the body. Once inserted, they will pull up the jaw-line, lift the cheeks and will reduce the lines around the eyes, nose and mouth, and tighten the neck.

An instant facial lift is often noticeable straight after the treatment, but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards. The PDO threads produce collagen around the threads and the new collagen that's produced, lifts the skin and creates more volume.

PDO threads get inserted all over the face and combine beautifully with dermal fillers to reveal a new, rejuvenated you. Thread lifts are an extremely versatile treatment, they're very simple, safe and almost painless. It's a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure that leaves you with a natural, rejuvenated look.

Versatile Ways To Use Botox at Selson Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox is one of the least invasive cosmetic procedures available, and demand for it has risen over the last decade, making botox treatment an affordable luxury. While we all know about the cosmetic benefits of botox, it's interesting to know that the use of botox for cosmetic purposes came about accidentally, when a Canadian doctor discovered an unexpected side-effect when she noticed that patients being treated for uncontrollable eye spasms began losing their frown lines when they had injections of botox. Although the results are temporary, the procedure was simple, safe and effective.

Botox causes a temporary improvement of the fine facial lines by blocking nerve transmission to temporarily reduce the facial muscle contractions which cause wrinkles and frown lines. These lines will look finer or potentially fade after multiple treatments, which give the face a more graceful appearance. 

The skin tightening caused by botox injections around the eyebrows and forehead, are similar to a non surgical face lift, by relaxing the facial muscles that cause the wrinkling associated with ageing. The skin tightens after the botox injection and the face starts looking younger within a short period.
These days, botox is mostly used as an anti-ageing facial treatment, and improvements can easily be made on many parts of the face, but it also works for other medical conditions.

Places where can Botox help:

• Eyes - Used to take away fine lines and wrinkles from around the eyes
• Chin - by softening the cobblestone or puckered appearance of the chin
• Lip Lines - botox softens the lip lines and smokers lines above the lips
• Nose - It can lessen the nostril flaring, to trim the width of the nose
• Eyes - Will lift the brow, raising the outer third of the eyebrow and creating the perfect arch
• Nose - By reducing the horizontal bunny lines on the upper part of the nose
• Armpits - Injections of botox can stop excessive sweating under the armpits (hyperhidrosis)
• Head - We use botox to treat migraines and tension headaches

Botox can work wonders, giving your face a fresh, healthy and wrinkle-free appearance, not a startled and expressionless look. A highly trained practitioner will tailor any facial remodelling treatments to suit each person, as no two faces are identical.

For women who are wary of going under the knife, but would like to lessen wrinkles and enhance their facial features, botox, a non-surgical injectable face lift option could be just what they're looking for. So whether you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines or use as a treatment for medical ailments, the benefits of using botox are many.

Liquid Facelift Treatment Using Botox & Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As the years go by, we start to notice those unavoidable signs of ageing as they start to show on our face. The skin loses collagen and elasticity and starts to sag, resulting in jowls. We also lose volume, making the cheeks and temples look flatter and hollow, and the lips become thinner and less defined. Wrinkles and fine lines will also, sooner or later, make their presence felt. With so many treatments available to rejuvenate the skin, it’s very hard to know which one is the best for you.

The liquid facelift has made an impact in cosmetic procedures during the past few years. The treatment aims to treat the upper, mid and lower areas of the face, to create a refreshed, balanced appearance that is subtle and entirely natural looking. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi has performed thousands of injectable treatments and has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner. 

The liquid facelift procedure uses injectable treatments; strategically placed dermal fillers to help increase the volume and shape of your face, and botox to ease the look of wrinkles, folds and creases and to help prevent further lines and wrinkles forming. 

Dermal fillers
Dermal Fillers will add volume to fill out the hollows in the cheeks, plump up the lips and create a softly contoured, more youthful looking face. Some of the most ageing lines and creases on the face are in the area between the nose and mouth, and these can leave your face looking tired and aged, but they can easily be corrected with fillers.

Botox
We use botox to freshen up the face, softening lines and wrinkles, eliminating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows. Strategically placed, botox can also give you an eye lift and lift the corners of the mouth.

It can benefit;
Clients with slight sagging of the jowls.
Those who have lost volume in the cheeks.
Those who have lost volume in the face.
Help to ease out lines and wrinkles in the face.
The lips can lose smokers lines and also get plumped up.

The liquid facelift addresses some of the signs of ageing without the need for surgery. It's a quick and effective, minimally invasive treatment that's a walk in, walk out procedure and has long-lasting results and a short recovery time.

By using dermal fillers and botox injections, it's now possible for a skilled cosmetic doctor to help you look younger and more refreshed in a couple of hours.

Firmer, Tighter Skin with PDO Thread lifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you are starting to get a saggy face, with jowls at your jaw and drooping eyelids but feel that you don't want to go to the time and expense of a face lift, then PDO thread lifts is the treatment for you.

Treads being inserted during a PDO thread lift procedure.

PDO thread lifts are really a face lift without surgery, and the procedure itself is very simple as there are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places. The threads used are Polydioxanone (PDO) which are a synthetic fibre, used in medicine for many years, typically in surgery. Before treatment, local anaesthetic gets injected, which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections. The PDO threads are simply inserted into the skin with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle and improve skin texture. They dissolve after a certain amount of time in the skin.

When we start to get older we tend to lose the volume in various areas of our face and PDO thread lifts are ideal for loose or sagging skin. The treatment is non-invasive and is done purely with injections. They are extremely versatile and can treat all around the face and neck, treating vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, drooping cheeks, sagging brows, sagging jaw line, pronounced nasolabial (nose to mouth) and marionette (corner of the mouth to the chin) folds and neck and folds and wrinkles on the chin.

PDO thread lifts can improve

• The horizontal and vertical forehead lines and wrinkles
• A forehead lift
• Sagging eyebrows
• Lower eyelid - bags under the eyes
• Marionette lines
• Jaw line
• Naso-labial folds
• Creased cheeks.

Thread lifts will give the skin an immediate lift, take away fine lines and wrinkles and improve the skin's appearance. They lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting the formation of hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration / moisturisation. PDO threads will dissolve at around 6 months and by this time the collagen will have been rebuilt and the effects will last up to two years.

As with all injectable treatments, bruising can happen after the procedure. The amount of bruising is different from client to client and will also depend on the area being treated. The recovery time for this treatment is usually under a week and you should avoid strenuous exercise for between two to three weeks.

PDO thread lift treatment will improve your skin texture, leaving you with tighter, firmer skin and natural looking results, giving you a refreshed, rejuvenated, youthful look.

Smoother Tighter Face with PDO Thread Lifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young and in our prime, the skin on our face is usually smooth and taut. The jaw-line has a strong definition, and the contour where the cheek meets the chin is smooth. It's quite devastating to get to that age when your features are no longer as sharp or defined as they once were. The facial profile suddenly becomes a bit blurry and we notice that our cheekbones start to sag down our face causing the jaw-line to become saggy and the neck beginning  to look wrinkly.

During the procedure

As our skin ages, some of the collagen is lost, making the skin less elastic. The loose skin is gradually pulled downwards, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, and resulting in jowls in the lower face, making us look older. One way to tighten and tone the loose skin without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure is a PDO thread lift. PDO thread lifts can deliver what is essentially a facelift, without the surgery. There are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places.

The PDO thread lift will improve and rejuvenate the face's structure, lifting loose or sagging skin. PDO threads are simply inserted into the skin with a very fine needle, either just under the skin, or in the fatty layer just beneath the skin, lifting the tissue and muscle and improving the texture of the skin. Once they're inserted, they will pull up the jaw-line, lift the cheeks and will reduce the lines around the eyes, nose and mouth, and tighten the neck.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we regularly perform PDO thread lifts with great results. We can insert threads all over the face and they will combine beautifully with dermal filler to reveal a rejuvenated new you! Thread lifts are an extremely versatile procedure, they're very simple, safe and almost painless. It's a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure that leaves you with a natural, rejuvenated look.

PDO Thread Lift before and after

After a thread lift, an instant lift is often noticeable but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards. The PDO threads produce collagen around the threads and the new collagen that's produced, lifts the skin.

It's a minimally invasive treatment achieving tighter, younger looking skin, lasting for up to two years. The threads are absorbable so they don't need removing from the body.You will see an immediate visible lifting effect and a natural improvement in the skin.

Firmer, Youthful Skin with Pelleve Radio Frequency Skin Tightening - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have a few treatments for tightening up the skin and giving the face a more youthful look. One of our treatments is Pelleve radio frequency skin tightening, which gives results similar to a non-surgical face lift or brow lift!

It achieves great results by:
Tightening up the fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Reducing the harshness of crow's-feet at the eyes.
Lines on the brows.
It reduces saggy Jowls.
The neck - It firms up the loose and lax skin of the neck.

Pelleve skin tightening treatment is non-invasive, it involves no incisions and there's no bleeding or scarring. First, a protective gel gets applied to the face which will reduce any discomfort. Topical anaesthetics creams can also be used if desired. We can give oral analgesics such as paracetamol or co-codomol to minimize the heat sensation, but Dr. Bassi will discuss pre-treatment pain relief at the time of the first consultation as each patient's needs vary.

Areas suitable for Pelleve skin tightening treatment.

Radio frequency energy heats the collagen in the skin, which tightens the existing collagen and then stimulates new collagen production, which will result in rejuvenated, youthful skin. Radio frequency energy has been used for over 30 years and it's considered a very safe form of treatment. When we apply the radiage wand to the skin, there might be a feeling of brief, mild to intense warming sensation around the treatment area as the radio frequency energy heats and tightens the loose and lax skin of the face and neck. The result is an improvement in skin quality and firmness, which you can see and feel.


Those with mild to moderate wrinkles who have a single Pelleve treatment show immediate improvements in wrinkle reduction and skin laxity, and this continues to improve up to six months after the treatment. The results are immediate and because we don't use anaesthesia, any swelling is minor, there is no recovery time and you can return to work immediately. Very occasionally there is redness of the skin this usually subsides within a few hours.

Depending on which area you choose, the treatment times can range from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. The treatment is suitable for all skin colours with the 30 to 60 year age group responding best to this treatment. Further skin tightening happens over the next 4 to 6 months as more, new collagen is formed. It's recommended that you have 6 to 8 treatments, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. The Pelleve radio frequency skin tightening will last for 16-18 months and you can combine Pelleve with any cosmetic treatments.

The result is firmer, tighter younger looking skin.

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.

PDO Thread Lift Treatment for a Younger Looking Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to stave off the ageing process. When we are young, the skin on our face is nice and tight, with the cheek and chin meeting in a smooth contour and definition at the jaw-line. But when we start to age, collagen is lost, making the skin less elastic, and gravity will start to pull the loose skin downwards, creating jowls in the lower face and causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner, making us look older.

Ageing causes the skin tissue to become thinner because the fibres in the collagen and elastin break down, which results in sagging skin, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. If you look in the mirror and wish for a sharp defined jaw-line, but you aren't ready for a surgical facelift, then a PDO thread lift is the solution. A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift and is often called the lunch hour lift, because it can be performed within 60 minutes or less. The procedure actually changes the shape of your face, restoring a youthful look in the same way as a surgical facelift.

The thread lift improves and rejuvenates the structure of the face. They are great for loose or sagging skin, and PDO threads need no cuts or incisions, they are simply inserted into the skin with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle and improve skin texture. Depending on the area being treated, the threads are inserted either just under the skin, or into the fatty layer just beneath the skin.

The PDO threads have a dual effect, first to give an immediate lift, secondly to stimulate the body's own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid and they are absorbable so they don't need to be removed from the body. The thread is the same as what's used in open heart surgery and will dissolve at around 6 months. By this time the collagen will have been rebuilt and the effects will last up to two years. Results are visible straight away but continue to improve as collagen is promoted.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we regularly perform PDO thread lifts with great results. The threads can be used all over the face and will combine beautifully with Dermal Filler to give a rejuvenated new you! Just recently this lovely woman had a thread lift at our clinic (see photo below)



              Before treatment     -   and then 5 days later

An instant lift is often noticeable but what's even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards.

The procedure is suitable for most people from age 25 onwards, when the effects of ageing starts to become apparent. PDO thread lifts reverse the effects of ageing and vastly improve quality of the skin. Sagging jowls, eye bags, drooping upper eyebrows and the jaw-line are all area's suitable for this procedure.

Thread lifts are extremely versatile and the procedure is very simple, safe and almost painless. It's a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure lift that gives a natural, rejuvenated look.

Liquid Facelift at Selston - Before & After Photo's - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing, is unfortunately inevitable. As we get older, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging facial skin begins to develop and we tend to lose volume in our face.

Many think facelift surgery is the solution to correct these effects of facial ageing. However, there is another option, and instead of going under the knife for a surgical facelift, many people might get fantastic results from a non-surgical procedure such as the liquid facelift.

After the treatment and WOW! What a difference!

Before the liquid facelift

A liquid facelift, also known as an injectable facelift, is where Botox is injected to freshen up the face by softening lines and wrinkles. Strategically placed, Botox can also give you an eye lift. Dermal Filler such as Radiesse is injected to volumise the face, giving it an instant result, like a mini facelift.

Botox and filler can be injected into the temples, lower eyelids, cheeks and jaw-line to create more youthful facial contours. The filler gives volumisation to areas that have sagged, and signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging jowls will diminish, and the procedure can take five to seven years off of your facial appearance. Local anaesthetic is used on the face, meaning any pain is minimal and unlike a surgical facelift, patients can go back to work the following day.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we are performing many liquid facelifts using Radiesse dermal filler and Botox. Liquid facelifts are becoming extremely popular at Selston and you can be in and out within an hour having had a facelift without the need of a scalpel! As the before and after photo's show, we are getting fantastic results!

After

Before

The best candidates for the liquid facelift treatment are those who would like 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 use of Botox to erase the fine lines......you can achieve realistic goals of a refreshed younger looking face.

A non surgical liquid facelift involves:

• No stitches or cuts, so no bleeding
• Downtime - 1 day
• Affordability
• Procedure time - 20 - 30 minutes
• Back To Work - Next Day
• Duration Of Results - up to 12 Months
• Anaesthetic - Local
• Results Seen - Immediate

The use of Radiesse and Botox to achieve a liquid facelift is really phenomenal! It is amazing to see the difference a few syringes of dermal filler and the skill of the doctor can make in a relatively quick treatment!

The liquid facelift is now the answer!

PDO Thread Lift - The Non-Surgical Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

PDO Thread Lift treatment - the non-surgical face lift.

Are you starting to look your age and feel like you could do with a face lift - but you definitely don't want to go under the surgeon's knife?

It's great when we're young and the skin on our face is nice and tight, the jaw-line is defined and the cheeks and chin have a smooth contour. But sadly, this youthfulness doesn't last.

Our skin is made up of 80 per cent collagen but disappointingly, after the age of 25 we lose it at the rate of about one per cent a year! Collagen, which is responsible for the smooth, plump appearance of young, healthy skin is lost, and we are left with wrinkles and saggy skin which is a lot less elastic.

Gravity pulls the loose skin and causes it to sag, creating jowls in the lower face and thinner skin around the cheeks, making us look older. As we age, the loss of collagen and elastin in our skin can cause our facial tone to get looser, and wrinkles, fine lines and creases begin appearing on our face.
Losing the collagen, along with the natural loss of fat on our face, can make the cheeks look hollow and create heaviness above the jaw-line and the chin, leaving us with an older, tired appearance.

Until fairly recently, a face lift was the only real option for turning back the signs of ageing, however, now there is a fantastic anti-ageing treatment in the form of the PDO Thread Lift. Polydioxanone (PDO) is a wound stitching thread which has an excellent safety record and has been involved in surgical use for 25 years.
The thread lift procedure makes it possible to lift and tone sagging skin by using injectable threads, and better still, it doesn't need general anaesthetic, incisions or any invasive surgery.

Which areas can be treated with the threads?

• Sagging jowls
• Eye bags
• Drooping upper eyebrows
• Jaw-line

The Thread Lift is a procedure which rejuvenates and improves the structure of the face. Specialised threads are introduced into the skin with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle and improve skin texture. Depending on the area being treated, the threads are inserted either just under the skin or into the fatty layer just beneath the skin. The PDO threads have a dual effect, first to give an immediate lifting effect, secondly to stimulate the body's own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

What results can I expect from the Thread Lift?

• After the procedure, an instant lift is often noticeable but even better, is that the effects will continue to improve for days and weeks afterwards.
• The threads are absorbable so they do not need to be removed from the body.
• The PDO threads will give the skin a natural improvement and an immediate visible lifting effect.
• Wrinkles will be reduced and crêpe like skin will look more youthful.

Advantages of having PDO thread lifts

• The results are instant
• The Thread lift has no tell-tale signs
• Minimal down time
• No cuts or incisions
• Has a high safety profile
• Skin tightening
• Improvement of tone and texture
• Increase of collagen production
• The treatment is simple and relatively fast

The great news is that the results get even better over the next 12 weeks, because collagen, elastin and hyalauronic acid is stimulated and produced.
They last 12 to 18 months.
Wrinkles will be reduced and crepe like skin will look more youthful.

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.

Before

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.

Ashley Judd

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.

As we age our upper cheeks become flatter and saggy, and correction of these with dermal fillers gives you a 'cheek lift'. This treatment plumps up the apples of the cheeks and sculpts the cheek bones. This instantly gives your face a more youthful appearance. Cheek enhancements are one of the most common treatments requested at our clinic and we have numerous clients returning for repeat treatments.

Dr Bassi is a fully trained cosmetic practitioner in advanced filler techniques. As no two faces are similar, he tailors his facial filler and remodelling treatment to each individual patient , to help them look and feel their best.

PDO Threadlifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield.

PDO Threadlifts


Getting older happens to us all and the worst part is watching the way our face changes. Have you started looking in the mirror and not liking what you see ?
Are you starting to get a saggy face ? Got some jowls at the jaw ? drooping eyelids ? And are you starting to avoid looking in the mirror because you are so self-conscious of your faults.

As we age we tend to lose the volume in various areas of our face. Also the elasticity of the skin  loosens and this leads to wrinkles and sagging skin.
The nose to mouth lines develop and that's when we get jowls.

Luckily these problems can be rectified. And PDO Threads are the answer !
These days women prefer less invasive and non-invasive procedures that involves less recovery time and less self care after the treatment.

PDO threadlifts are essentially a facelift without surgery. There are no incisions or cuts,  just simple injections placed in strategic places.
The procedure is very simple, similar to dermal fillers, but in this procedure we leave a thread inside instead of filler.

PDO threads immediately lift the skin, creating more volume and then they stimulate collagen production in the area to give tighter skin and a more youthful look.
PDO threads have been used in heart surgery for many years and are perfectly safe.
You may have read recently that EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth, has turned back time with a non-surgical facelift which used a dissolvable thread to remove wrinkles.

PDO threads are extremely versatile and can be used all around the face and neck. They can treat vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, sagging brows, drooping cheeks, saggy jawline, neck folds and wrinkles on the chin..

We offer this treatment at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, where after a consultation with Dr Bassi to discuss your needs, the procedure can be performed and give you amazing results.
Check out our before and after photo's.

The thread is used to give a tailor-made result, lifting specific parts of the face.
Beforehand, an injection of local anaesthetic is given, which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections.
The PDO threads are injected and they lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting the formation of  hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration / moisturisation.
Wrinkles will be reduced and crepe-like skin will look more youthful

So if you want to redefine your face but you don’t want surgery - Give us a call !

Cheap Botox is to be avoided - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox

Everybody loves a party !

Ann Summers, Avon or pamper parties are still all the rage. And so it seems are cheap botox parties. But at what cost ?

It's amazing to find that ladies, and men, are putting themselves in the hands of any "beauty professional" that can offer a quick cheap facial fix !

Cheap Botox parties held at home and when either self injecting or being administered by inexperienced hands can quite easily go terribly wrong. When it's not injected properly, or in exactly the right place, you could end up paralysing the wrong muscles, or be left with droopy eyelids and eyebrows, or in the worst case scenario you could even paralyse the muscles that move your eyeball which will give you problems with your eyesight.

A Botox party- a social event with alcohol and refreshments at a friend’s home, might seem like a relaxing and fun way to try this treatment, perhaps at a discounted price. However, there are safety measures required for Botox such as: informed consent, keeping a detailed medical record, sterile
injection procedure, and continued refrigeration of Botox which may not be in place at home parties.

 The risk of infection when administered by an untrained person is higher than with a fully trained provider. If and when problems arise afterwards there is no access to follow up care. The treatment of administering Botox in a non medical setting is putting people at risk...... and the risks greatly outweigh the benefits.

Botox, made popular by a vast number of celebrities who have admitted using it, is a licensed medicine. Administering it is an art that requires a high level of expertise along with a talent for the craft. Don’t let price be your guide. If you see an offer for a treatment that is much less than the standard fee, it is likely that compromises are being made either in the skill of the provider, the quality of the product or the amount being used.

Any medical procedure should be done in an established medical office. Our advice…save your parties and drinking games for the weekends and visit Selston Cosmetic Clinic for any cosmetic treatment. Call now for an appointment and find out what we can offer you. Be safe - put your face in our hands !

Selston Cosmetic Clinic is based in Nottingham in the East Midlands.

Easy access for Nottinghamshire, Derby, Chesterfield and Mansfield. We are just off Junction 27 on the M1.

When you look in the mirror, you want to see a face you are proud of.

Can you put a price on that?
