Get a Better Skin Tone & Texture with Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin becomes vulnerable to a fair amount of damage throughout the years, some things like injury scars, sun damage and pock marks left over from acne, as well as the loss of collagen and elastin due to general ageing, and all these things can make the skin start to look tired and worn.

Skin damage builds up and over time and it can cause your skin texture to become uneven, the skin's surface can show scars and can even start to look discoloured. You can vastly improve your skin by exfoliating, making the skin look softer, and giving it a more even surface, and this will help any cosmetic skin treatments to work better and will also provide a better base to apply your make-up on.

We can exfoliate the skin in different ways:

We can use a traditional exfoliating scrub twice a week. A facial scrub has tiny, sand-like particles which will smooth away any rough areas as you gently apply it, and this will remove any dead skin cells on your skin and uncover new ones, leaving your skin feeling soft and looking flawless.

Liquid exfoliators use acid to take away the dead skin, dissolving the glue-like substance that bonds the dead skin cells. These acid based products clean deep within the pores and some of them can boost hydration, cell turnover and collagen production. The skin naturally sheds cells daily, however, by applying face products and make-up every day means we sometimes halt this process, but using acids every day can copy the natural process.

Microdermabrasion treatment at a cosmetic clinic can go more in-depth, going deeper than your typical facial scrub. The treatment uses medical grade crystals that we vacuum across the outer surface of the skin at a high speed, using a hand-held device. The superfine crystals will smooth away fine lines, and reduce pigment irregularities on the surface of the skin, stimulating an increase in cell turnover, and giving you a brightness to your complexion.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetic medical procedures performed today. It's an ideal treatment for the skin because it uses non-allergenic crystals, which is good for any skin that's sensitive to chemicals. Microdermabrasion is a safe non-surgical treatment which doesn't present any risks when it's performed by a qualified practitioner. This treatment can easily be done in a lunchtime and is one which will allow you to return to your normal activities on the same day

Achieve Younger Looking Skin With Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We don't get to adulthood without seeing some sort of evidence on our face and we would all love to turn the clock back and get back the perfect, unblemished skin of our youth. Our skin has to contend with many things as we get older; sun, harsh weather and bad habits, and unfortunately these effects show on our face and tell the story. Skin problems like acne scars, liver spots on the back of the hands, face and décolletage or skin that's been damaged by too much sun, can all affect our self-confidence.

There are many reasons why we are not satisfied with our appearance but whether it's our face, neck or hands that we have a problem with, a solution is available. According to many doctors, one of the best anti-ageing treatments is the SmartXide DOT which is a fractional Co2 laser system which will improve the texture, tone and overall quality of your skin.

It's an ideal treatment for:

• Wrinkles
• Poor texture
• Large skin pores
• Sun damage
• Sun spots
• Brown spots
• Acne scars
• Surgical scars
• Uneven pigmentation
• Stretch marks

SmartXide Dot is tailored to each person's skin-type and to how much damage is on the skin. SmartXide Dot treatment helps to soften wrinkles of the face, especially around the mouth and eyes, as well having the unique ability to tighten loose skin. The skin treatment can soften deep lines and fine wrinkles until they disappear, leaving the skin smoother, fresher and looking more youthful. By forming a completely new skin layer, it will restore the tone and glow to the face and other treated areas.

The laser is good for:

• Reversing the look of ageing skin
• To effectively repair sun damaged skin
• Improve skin tightening, texture and firmness
• Smooth wrinkles and lines
• Even out the skin tone and colour
• Reduce acne marks and other scars
• Treat pigmentation (brown spots and skin discolouration)
• Reduce large pores on the skin.

Scars from acne or other skin injuries can also benefit from using this treatment. The laser treatment takes about 30 minutes to restore the skin's youthful appearance. The laser stimulates new collagen growth which helps to prolong the effects of the treatment, and gives a more even result. While it's true that we can't halt the ageing process, with care, we can maintain your rejuvenated skin's appearance for years to come.

Facial Peels & Microdermabrasion Treatments For Men - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Now more than ever before, there's an increasing pressure on men to look good. In the past, men would tend to look the way they did, accept what they had and then just suffer in silence, but these days it's a lot easier for men to look after their skin and look the best they can, just the same as women do.

Typically, men aren’t used to practicing regular skin care routines from an early age as women are, and this poor skin hygiene can lead to dead cells forming on men’s skin which gives their facial complexion a very dull look. It seems that men often feel that they don't need to look after their skin in the same way that women do, and while men usually have different needs for their skin than women do, they shouldn't neglect the skin altogether, and ideally should develop a routine to keep the skin as healthy as they can.

When we think of anti-ageing treatments, our first thought is usually of women's treatments and products. Adverts for cosmetic facial procedures are typically aimed at women and always seem to use female models to advertise the products. These days however, there's a growing number of men, who show a greater interest in how they look, and in the state of their skin and are they are
now willing to do something about it.

Popularity of chemical peels for men has grown steadily in recent years, and the ‘man peel’ is now a regular feature in skin care regime of many men.

Facial peels create smoother-looking skin by removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface, and letting new, healthy cells to grow back. The treatment also helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, mild acne scarring, enlarged pores, brown spots, ingrown hairs and as well as all this, they also give a smoother texture to the skin. Technically, the treatment for men is the same as the treatment for women, however, the peels for men target different areas. Facial treatments for men are particularly effective for those who shave, as regular shaving can cause irritations on the face.

It's thought that in the past, men haven't been as meticulous as women with their skin care routines, so microdermabrasion treatment might just prove to be a revelation to them, as chemical peels help rejuvenate skin on the chest, neck, hands, forearms, as well as the face. Men might enjoy looking manly and rugged, but rough, pitted, wrinkled or blemished skin isn't really the image men want to show off.

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation treatment which buffs away the top layer of skin, dislodging the dead skin cells, leaving you with a fresh and rejuvenated look. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, our medical grade microdermabrasion machine offers the latest treatment, from mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments. The treatment uses a light mist of crystals, to gently and painlessly dislodge dead and dull cells from the top layer of the skin and at the same time a vacuum suction removes them, resulting in smooth and glowing skin.

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.
