An Eyebrow Lift Using Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we decide we need to combat signs of ageing, particularly wrinkles, there's no treatment more popular than Botox, but we can also use Botox injections to make changes to some facial features such as the eyebrows. Most of us want to look as good as we can, and a small amount of Botox can enhance our appearance by softening the signs of ageing, it can lift your brow while still making your face look natural. A highly arched eyebrow is a classic sign of youthful beauty.

One sign of facial ageing is the eyebrows, because their shape changes over time they can get a hooded look. A Botox brow lift involves injecting Botox into the muscles, into specific areas of the face. Muscle movement happens through the pushing and pulling of different muscles, and this is something that can easily be altered slightly to create natural looking eyebrows with a high arch.

As you get older your brow may drop or sag, but Botox treatments will allow you to lift the brow, giving your face a younger look and making you look less tired. A brow lift is a Botox injection treatment that can raise the skin tissues around the eyes and eyebrows, to raise the natural eyebrow arch. This treatment can also make the eyes look wider, resulting in a more youthful look. It's recommended that brow lifts are more suited to those with mild to moderate brow heaviness, due to low-hanging eyebrows or naturally drooping eyelids.

The Botox brow lift, or chemical lift, is a popular procedure for those who don't want to undergo invasive surgery. The treatment is ideal for all skin types, and those who have naturally drooping eyelids and low-hanging eyebrows may find it particularly effective. Injecting Botox into the brow will literally lift the skin tissues above and around the eyebrows, resulting in the natural eyebrow arch raising a few millimetres higher.

Botox is a non-surgical treatment, it has many benefits:

• A safe, effective, tried and tested product
• It's a relatively affordable cosmetic procedure
• Treatment needs no downtime
• When combined with fillers, it can give your whole face a more youthful, balanced look
• Botox can treat chronic migraines, excessive underarm sweating and other conditions
• Designed to give attractive, natural and understated results

Botox used in tandem with other injectable treatments can fully rejuvenate the entire face, reducing the wrinkles, plumping up the lips and replacing volume in the cheeks, which will all work together to soften the effects of ageing.

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.

Lose Double Chin & Define Your Jaw Line with Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you have a double chin it doesn't always mean you're are overweight, it can also mean that the muscles in the chin and neck aren't as developed as they could be. When we get older, our skin loses its elasticity and starts to sag, making it possible for a double chin to develop. Sometimes we don't realise that our jaw line is slowly merging with the chin until someone shows us photos taken in profile, giving us the proof we really didn't want to see.

Loose skin on the jaw line and neck, can result in a double chin or the dreaded jowls. This can cause embarrassment and loss of confidence and might be a sign that you should alter your diet. It is possible to reduce and even get rid of fat in the chin area with a healthy, low-fat, nutritious diet and regular exercise, but if this doesn't work, cosmetic treatment using vaser lipo could be the answer. 

There are people who are genetically predisposed to having a double chin. Our genetics influence the muscle and bone structure and where the fat is deposited on the face. Some get water retention under the chin, and others naturally store excess fat in the chin area. Excess body fat is also a cause of double chins as the body stores fat in different places. It's almost impossible to lose fat from just one place, so if you need to lose fat from your chin, you must lose fat from all over the body. Our age can also determine whether we do or don't develop a double chin, because the older we get, the more our skin thins and becomes less elastic, and this causes muscles to lose their tone, which creates the sagging droopy look.  

If diet and exercise just won't get rid of it, then vaser lipo is an ideal way to get rid of fat from under the chin. It's a straightforward procedure that gives fabulous results. After a local anaesthetic numbs the area, the vaser melts and liquefies the fat cells, which then get suctioned out through thin probes. Vaser lipo is not a method to lose weight or an alternative to diet and exercise but a form of body contouring, which sculpts the body to get the desired look.

Just because you have a double chin doesn't necessarily mean you're old and it doesn't have to mean that you're overweight. But, whatever the cause is, while it's there, it can totally take away the beauty of a face.

Look Younger & Lift Sagging Skin with PDO Threadlifts - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we're young, the skin on our face is taut and smooth, it has a smooth contour where the cheek meets the chin and strong definition at the jaw line. But as we get older, collagen is lost, causing the skin around the cheeks to become thinner which will make us look older. As the skin loses elasticity it will cause gravity to gradually pull the loose skin downwards, and this will result in jowls appearing at the lower face.

We can rectify lost volume and elasticity in a few ways. Dermal fillers are a good option for people who don't want a surgical procedure. Fillers add volume, create cheekbones and give the skin a gentle lift. Dermal fillers last up to one year depending on your lifestyle, those who party hard might find they don't last as long. Dermal fillers can give instant results and you can return to work the next day looking fresh and rejuvenated.

Another treatment that gets great results, are PDO thread lifts. The PDO thread lift treatment has a dual effect. Firstly, they give an immediate lift to sagging skin and secondly they stimulate the body's own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The skin gets numbed with a local anaesthetic and the threads are then injected under the skin in strategic places, forming a matrix of threads which will lift and rejuvenate the skin. Some threads are so fine they are like hairs, the stronger threads are thicker and have small barbs on them that will attach to the skin and give a good lifting result.

PDO threads are ideal to treat;

• Forehead wrinkles
• Sagging eyebrows
• Lower eyelid - bags under the eyes
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Jaw line

While the threads remain under the skin, they cause collagen to form by stimulating the fibroblasts and this will also improve your skin tone and radiance. The procedure is almost painless with little downtime. You might experience the odd bruise, but these can easily be covered with light make up. The PDO threads don't need removing from the body as they absorb into the body, and they can either be used as a stand-alone treatment or used along with botox and fillers to get a fantastic result.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer an extensive range of cosmetic procedures for the face and body to help create a younger, more youthful looking you!

Botox & Filler for a Liquid Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unfortunately we'll all get older, and when we do we'll notice our face developing fine lines and wrinkles. Sagging facial skin will make us look tired, and if we lose volume in our face we'll also start to look gaunt. Many people think that invasive face lift surgery is the solution to correct these effects of facial ageing, however there's another option. Instead of going under the knife for a surgical procedure, many people find they'll get fantastic results from a non-surgical procedure such as the liquid face lift.

A liquid face lift is a cosmetic procedure where a combination of injected botox and fillers freshen the face by softening lines and wrinkles and adding volume to the face. When it's strategically placed, botox can give you an eye lift and the dermal filler, when injected into sunken, hollow cheeks will add volume to the face.

Those who can benefit are:

• Clients who aren't quite ready, or who are reluctant to have invasive surgery.
• Those who have slight sagging of the jowls.
• Clients who have lost volume in the cheeks.
• People who have lost volume under the eyes.

Botox and filler can also be injected into the temples, lower eyelids, cheeks and jaw-line to create more youthful facial contours. Using local anaesthetic on the face, means any pain is minimal and unlike a surgical face lift, clients can go back to work the following day.

A liquid face lift treatment would benefit those who want 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 injections of botox to erase the fine lines, realistic goals of a refreshed younger looking face are achievable.

Benefits of a non-surgical procedure:

• It's non-invasive, no stitches or cuts and no bleeding
• Fast treatment time - 20 - 30 minutes
• Quick recovery - minor swelling for a few days
• It's affordable
• Back to work - next day
• Duration of results - up to 12 months
• Anaesthetic - local
• Results seen - immediate dramatic results

Having a liquid face lift is a minimal, swift procedure which can take five to seven years off of your facial appearance. It's possible to arrive and leave within an hour, having had a face lift without the need of a scalpel.

Define Your Profile & Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Getting older will happen to us all, and the worst part is looking in the mirror and noticing the way our face is changing. We might see our face beginning to sag, bags appear under the eyes, we might notice the start of jowls and the lack of definition at the jaw line. Sometimes it's almost enough to make us avoid looking in the mirror because we're so self-conscious of our faults.

There comes a time when we reach a certain age, and we start to notice our facial profile has suddenly become a little blurry. The strong definition of our features aren't as sharp as they were, and we lose volume in various areas of our face; under the eyes will become hollow, the fat pads in our cheekbones will diminish making the face look gaunt, we can develop nose to mouth lines giving us jowls, and the skin's elasticity loosens leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

There are some treatment options that we can have to rectify this;

Face lift - we can have a full cosmetic face lift. This however is a painful and costly experience which needs good deal of down time. These days lots women, and men, prefer non-invasive procedures that need less recovery time and less self-care after the treatment.

Dermal Fillers - these can add volume to fill in hollows under the eyes, give the skin a gentle lift, creating higher cheekbones or injected along the jaw line to give definition. Injectable treatments have always been a good option for those not wanting a surgical procedure. Dermal fillers give great results and you can return to work the next day with no-one knowing you've had any treatment, they will just be curious to know how you look so fresh and rejuvenated.

PDO threads lifts- at Selston Cosmetic Clinic we've performed PDO thread lift treatment for a few years now and they can make a massive difference. We can use PDO's as a stand alone treatment or use it together with botox and dermal fillers to get a fantastic result.

The PDO threads we use for this treatment are the same ones used in open heart surgery and over the months they will gradually dissolve. All the time the threads remain under the skin, they cause collagen to form by stimulating the fibroblasts, and this also improves skin tone and radiance. Before treatment, local anaesthetic is given which dramatically reduces any discomfort from the injections. We place the threads under the skin, and they lift and tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and smooth the skin by promoting hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration. The procedure takes less than an hour and the results last between 12-18 months. PDO thread lifts are essentially a face lift without the surgery. There are no incisions or cuts, just simple injections placed in strategic places.

Areas suitable for PDO threads;

• Horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles
• Sagging eyebrows
• Bags under the eyes
• Cheeks
• Naso-labial folds
• Marionette lines
• Jaw line
• Creased cheeks

The procedure is almost painless with only a small amount of downtime. You might experience the odd bruise, but these are easily covered with light make-up. If you want to redefine your face, but you don’t want invasive surgery, then PDO thread lift treatment is an ideal solution.

Lose Unwanted Fat From a Double Chin with Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When you have a firm, chiselled chin it can help to define the shape of your face and profile in a positive way, but over time fat can settle under the chin. Lots of women become concerned that a rounder, fuller face can give the impression that they're fatter than they actually are.

There are some things we can do, to try to help reduce the double chin:

Facial exercises

* Open your mouth and move the lower jaw from right to left, repeating for at least 5 minutes a day for the best results.

* In an exaggerated way, pronounce the vowels - A E I O and U stretching the mouth area wide. For the best results, repeat 15 times a day.

* Open your mouth wide and try to pull your bottom lip towards your nose, moving the lower jaw up and down,
* While keeping your spine straight, roll your head gently, first turning your head clockwise, then anticlockwise.

Chewing Gum

If the cause of the double chin is through weak, sagging muscles then chewing gum is a good remedy (try sugar free) Chewing gum will give your facial muscles and the jaw a workout and help to tone your chin. 

Posture

Posture can play a role in reducing your double chin, as sitting for long periods with your head down and your shoulders hunched can cause you to ruin your posture, lose flexibility and weaken the muscles in the front of your neck which encourages a double chin. Sit straight and look forwards.

Even slender people who don't have any excess body weight might get a double chin, and this can happen for a variety of reasons. It might be that your chin is inherently weak, it could be a trait that's been passed along through the family through genetics, gaining excess weight or just getting older. Whatever the reason, most people think that it makes them look older and heavier.

Vaser lipo is a safe and effective way to get rid of excess fat from beneath the chin. A small incision's made under the chin and a cannula gets inserted to drain out the excess fat. This fat gets dislodged and melted, and then the liquid fat is drained. The treatment is relatively painless and needs only a local anaesthetic. The recovery time is brief and there's a very low risk of complications. Once you have completely healed you will appreciate the sharper, more defined chin and a face that's looking healthier and younger.

A double chin isn’t flattering on anyone, and sometimes, no matter how often we exercise or eat healthily, the double chin just won’t go away. People are usually self-conscious of a flabby chin and if it's unresponsive to diet and exercise, then vaser lipo treatment can give you the strong, defined chin that you want.

Improve an Ageing Face with a PDO Thread Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you feel that as you've grown older, the skin on your face has become loose or that it's starting to sag, and you would like a tighter, fresher, more youthful look without having any invasive surgery, then you should really consider PDO thread lift treatment. 

When we age it causes the skin tissue to become thinner, because the collagen and elastin fibres break down, and this will result in sagging skin, creases, folds, lines and wrinkles. PDO threads are a non-surgical treatment that can restore the face and neck, giving it back a youthful shape. They can improve and reduce sagging, loose skin, such as the jowls, cheeks, neck and eyebrows. 

At a consultation the cosmetic doctor will discuss your needs and decide what sort of result you are looking for. He will decide which areas he will concentrate on, to get an overall enhanced appearance. Thread lifts can help improve sagging cheeks, forehead wrinkles, deep lines and wrinkles, loss of facial volume, jowls and can even redefine the jaw line. Thread lifts are ideal for those who want a subtle change in their mid and lower face and don't want a long recovery time.

PDO Thread lifts can give you amazing results on;

• Sagging jowls
• Under eye bags
• Drooping upper eyebrows
• Defining the jaw line

The thread lift procedure involves lifting different areas of the face using specialised threads, all done without the need for surgical incisions. An ultra fine needle inserts the thread into the skin, into either the skin itself, the subcutaneous fat or the muscle.

The threads help to tighten and firm the skin by promoting collagen and elastin and also improves skin hydration by promoting hyaluronic acid which smooths the skin. Wrinkles will ease and the skin will look less crepe-like. You'll notice a lifted appearance immediately after the treatment, and the results will continue improving over the following days and weeks.

The benefits of a thread lift include;

• Instant and long-lasting results
• Minimal downtime
• Increase in natural collagen production
• No cuts and no incisions
• No stitches

The PDO threads gradually dissolve after 6 months, and the skin will keep improving for about 2-6 months, as new collagen grows between the threads giving a further lift and tightening to the skin. The results last for 12-18 months.

Define & Contour the Jaw Line with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Time takes its toll on our face as we get older, and as it goes through so much, it's understandable that sometimes it might need a bit of TLC. As well as changes to the texture of the skin, such as dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, the face also changes shape as we age. Loss of fat in the upper face, plus the effects of gravity can cause the skin to droop downwards, and this can lead to jowls, causing a loss of definition in the jaw line.

The jaw is what separates our face from our neck, but over time we lose definition in the jaw line which blurs the distinction between the two areas. Dermal fillers are able to correct and get back a beautifully defined jaw. A square jaw can look good on some men, who see it as the typically masculine face shape, but jaw line contouring is also ideal for women who have a square shape to the jaw, and want to get a softer, more feminine look.

Over time, the jaw line begins to sag as we lose volume from the face, which causes it to droop and fall forward. The sag can become quite significant, causing a previously straight jaw to change into a wavy one.

Dermal fillers can correct a sagging jaw and help to recover the straight jaw line of our youth. Dermal fillers can easily be injected into the jowl area to disguise the jowls by blending them into the adjacent areas, hiding the jowls and giving the jaw a straighter line.

Dermal filler is a highly successful treatment which gets impressive results. Fillers get injected along the jaw line using a tiny cannula or a small fine needle into the jowl area and this makes the jaw line look straighter. As a result, the male jaw line becomes wider and straighter and more masculine and has a more defined angle at the base of the jaw, while the female jaw line still has a more feminine gentle curve and softness to the contour of the jaw.

A jaw enhancement will benefit:

• Those with a weak jaw line
• Men who want a more chiselled jaw
• Those who can see signs of ageing in the jaw line
• Those who want a softer jaw line

Enhancing and contouring the jaw using dermal filler injections can effectively alter the outline of the jaw area  This treatment is popular, due to its instant results, natural feel and the easy ability of the injections and the little to no downtime.

Fill in Hollow Tear Troughs With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time, our skin can start to look tired and lose its youthful glow. The reason the skin loses its firmness and starts to sag is mainly down to ageing, although too much sun, smoking, weight loss and genetics can also cause sagging and wrinkling.

No amount of eye creams and serums will help with eye hollows or dark circles, and usually corrective make-up is the only thing that will help to disguise them. Dermal fillers are very effective for filling in folds on the face or hollows and dark circles under the eyes, and a simple injection of filler can easily be used to fill in the tear troughs, giving an instant plumping effect of the hollows.

• There are many reasons why we get sunken eyes:
• Ageing
• Lack of sleep
• Tension and stress
• Genetics
• Bad food habits and indigestion
• Not enough hydration
• Too much caffeine intake
• Smoking

As we age, the body loses fat and bone density, especially in the face. The supporting structures that hold everything together start to decline, and the skin will lose collagen and become thinner and more translucent. Losing excess weight can make us look fitter and healthier, but it can also age us. A dramatic loss of fat in the face can hollow out the cheeks and eyes, and cause the blood vessels around the eyes to become more visible and transparent.

By the time we reach our mid twenties, our body stops producing collagen and elastin, which are the two proteins that work together to keep our tissue firm and the skin elastic. Once the existing collagen in the body starts to break down, the body will start to show typical signs of ageing, such as sunken cheeks, tear troughs, deep lines and wrinkles.

The dermal filler we use at Selston Cosmetic Clinic is Teosyal Redensity II, which fills out the hollows and lines under the eyes, whilst helping to mask the dark circles with its light reflecting technology. This is a hylauronic acid based filler, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the body, and is ideal for treating tear troughs.

Allergic reactions to dermal fillers are nearly unheard of, and any infections or side effects are extremely rare, as long as a trained practitioner with specialist training injects the filler. Sometimes there might be temporary side effects such as redness, slight bruising or swelling and this will happen immediately after the injection treatment, but these will disappear after a couple of days.

Improve,Tighten & Tone Lax Skin with Accent Radio Frequency - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's quite demoralising when we notice our skin becoming thin and lax as we get older. Over time, the firm and toned look that helps to keep us looking young, slowly starts to get less firm, and not so toned. It can take us by surprise to see our skin start to lose its first flush of youth, noticing the smile lines get deeper, seeing drooping eyebrows and the jaw line starting to sag, but what can we do about it?

Accent radio-frequency is an energy that causes heating by using radio waves. It's used to treat areas on the face and body, where the heat causes the fat cells to disrupt, reducing the cellulite and tightening the skin. Radio-frequency will address skin laxity and its firmness. When the skin gets heated to a certain temperature, we'll see improvement of the collagen formation and an increase of the blood flow and circulation, strengthening the tissue, and improving the skin's texture. It's an ideal treatment if you're looking for skin improvement without using needles or having incisions.

Accent radio-frequency is used either as a stand alone treatment, or combined with other procedures to enhance the results. It's a comfortable way to tone, tighten and smooth your skin, giving you rejuvenated skin firmness and a youthful toned look. This is a non-invasive way to treat wrinkles, and it's effective in tightening loose skin, promoting healthy collagen production and improving body shape. 

Accent radio-frequency improves;

• Skin Tightening
• Cellulite
• Stretch Marks
• Neck Tightening
• Face Tightening
• Arm Tightening
• Lines & Wrinkles

Radio-frequency is mostly used for facial tightening, and is best suited to those with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues. It can treat any skin colour and it's commonly used for improving the forehead, beneath the eyes, cheeks, on the mid-face, the jaw line, and neck.

There are important considerations to consider when you have radio-frequency treatment. You need to play an active part in your treatment to gain and keep up your results. You'll need to drink lots of water, as dehydration plays a big part in the way that we age. Clients should make sure they're hydrated at the time of treatment because of the interaction between radio-frequency and the water molecules in their tissue.

Skin tightening procedures are non-invasive and an improvement of cellulite and fat reduction can sometimes be seen after the first session, but most people will see a significant improvement after several sessions. We recommend six sessions two weeks apart, but more might be required depending on the extent of the problem.

Accent is a highly versatile treatment, it's perfect to combine with microdermabrasion and skin peels. The results are immediate results and there's no down time.

Radio Frequency Treatment to Tighten Loose Sagging Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin becomes thinner as we age, and we can lose that firm, toned look that keeps us looking youthful. Skin tightening treatments are ideal for those who are showing signs of ageing; like wrinkles or loose, sagging skin, and if you want a non-surgical, safe and effective way to rejuvenate your face, then this is the ideal treatment. 

Accent radio frequency is a revolutionary treatment that uses advanced radio frequency technology to treat your lines and wrinkles, while remaining non-invasive. Accent is highly effective in tightening loose skin, promoting healthy collagen production and improving body shape. 

Accent radio frequency is a treatment that addresses face and body areas that are in need of skin tightening and cellulite reduction. An improvement in cellulite and fat reduction can sometimes be seen after the first session, but most people will see a significant improvement after several sessions. For those who are looking for improvement without using any needles or incisions, this treatment is the one for you. Accent can either be used as a stand alone treatment or combined with other treatments to enhance results.

Radio frequency treatment provides pleasing results by:

• Tightening up fine lines and wrinkles on the face
• Reducing sagging jowls
• Firming up the loose and lax skin of the neck
• Improving cellulite and stretch marks
• Arm tightening (aka Bingo Wings)

Radio frequency is an energy that causes heating by using radio waves, and it's this heating that causes the fat cells to disrupt and the skin to tighten. The heating of the skin to a certain temperature means you will improve collagen formation, increase the blood flow and circulation and that will strengthen the tissue and improve the texture. Collagen reduces as we age, but the good news is we can rebuild it, so the more sessions you have, the better the result. The treatment has sometimes been compared to a hot massage, that's given with minimal discomfort.

You will need to play an active part in your treatment to gain, and keep up your results. Dehydration is one of the things that ages us, so you will need to drink a lot of water. At the time of treatment you should make sure that you're hydrated, because of the interaction between radio frequency and the water molecules in the tissue, and exercise and diet control will always enhance your result.

The accent treatment is a comfortable way to tone, tighten and smooth your skin, giving you a rejuvenated youthful firmness of the skin.

Ageing Skin - Why & How It Ages - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As they are always exposed, the face and hands are the first parts of our body to show signs of ageing. Whether they are facing the cold, wind and rain of winter or the heat of the sun in summer, all types of weather can affect the skin. And it's not just the weather; the pollution and car fumes in the towns can also play a part in ageing our skin.

Dermaroller treatment to rejuvenate skin

Lots of things accelerate the ageing process of the skin:

Stress - signs of stress can show up on your skin, hair and nails
Lack of sleep - those who sleep badly have more fine lines, uneven skin colour and slackening of skin.
Sun damage - the sun is responsible for most visible signs of skin ageing. UVA rays emitted by the sun can cause pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity through collagen and elastin breakdown and skin-texture quality.
Smoking - exposure to smoke, and even second-hand smoke, can cause damage to the elastin fibres causing sagging to the skin, age spots and lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
Pollution and the environment - can cause fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, dehydrated skin, which can leave the skin dry, rough and itchy, and the city dust and dirt clogging up the pores and making the skin look lifeless and dull.

Cheeks, jawline and chin refinement using dermal filler

As a result of normal ageing, one of the main things we notice, is loss of volume. As we age our  facial fat is generally lost, causing the soft tissues to become thinner. Collagen; the dense fibres for strength, and elastin; the elastic fibres for suppleness will become less firm and elastic as we get older, allowing the soft tissue in the face to sag. This results in the face looking thinner and facial bones looking more prominent.

Dermal filler to replace lost volume

• The cheeks - there's less production of collagen and elastin meaning that the ageing skin is vulnerable to the effects of gravity and can sag, resulting in jowls and bags under the eyes. 
• The mouth -  laugh lines deepen and the fine lines that surround the lips, known as smokers lines appear, and we lose definition resulting in the dreaded lipstick bleed.
• The eyes - upper and lower, begin to sag, creating dark circles and tear troughs.
• Facial thread veins - The blood vessels in ageing thin skin are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing thread veins.
• Age spots - this occurs when the pigment cells in the skin increase in certain areas and cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• The forehead - gains wrinkles and furrows through repetitive facial expression movements, made over time.
• The skin - generalised wrinkling of the face may occur because of thinning ageing skin, and reduced skin cell turnover will result in thinner crepe like skin. More mature skin, also has fewer sweat and oil glands, therefore it is prone to dryness.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer the latest cutting edge, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for anti-ageing of the skin. A little wrinkle, a bit of sagging or dark circle might be making you look older than you really are, but we've got an experienced and fully trained aesthetic team to help you choose from a variety of treatments, and recommend which treatment is suitable for your concerns.

PDO Thread Lift Treatment To Lift & Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older our skin's elasticity loosens and we have a tendency to lose volume in various areas of our face. This can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin, with nose to mouth lines developing, resulting in jowls. If an invasive surgical facelift is not for you, then a non-surgical treatment is the solution. More of us are looking for treatments to lift and rejuvenate the face using non-invasive procedures and PDO thread lifts can deliver this and give you excellent results.

They are ideal to use on:

• Sagging jowls
• Eye bags
• Drooping upper eyebrows

The procedure will lift your face at targeted points, stimulating ongoing collagen and elastin production, which will make your skin feel and look firmer. The treatment will smooth wrinkles, tighten your skin and define the jaw line, creating a gentle, rejuvenating lift and giving you natural-looking results. After a topical anaesthetic cream gets applied, a very fine needle will insert the threads into the areas that need lifting. The threads discreetly hold repositioned skin and facial tissue in place after the procedure, and as there aren't any cuts or incisions, there’s no scarring. The treatment takes 45-60 minutes.

The advantages of having PDO thread lift treatment include:

• The results are instant
• Improvement of skin's texture and tone
• Increase of collagen production
• No cuts or incisions
• Skin tightening
• There are no visible signs of the treatment
• Minimal down time
• The procedure has a high safety profile
• The treatment is simple and relatively fast

PDO thread lifts treatment uses simple injections, placed just underneath the surface of the skin in strategic places, without making any cuts or incisions. They are special dissolvable threads, made from the same material as surgical sutures, which have been safely used in heart surgery for many years.

The threads are extremely versatile, and will give amazing results around the face and neck. They can treat vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, sagging brows, drooping cheeks, a saggy jaw line, neck folds and wrinkles on the chin.

When they're injected they create 3 effects:

• They lift the skin
• They'll tighten the skin by promoting collagen and elastin.
• Smooth out the skin by promoting the formation of hyalauronic acid, which improves skin hydration/moisturisation.

The PDO thread lift procedure can treat either all of your face, or just partial areas, dependant on your needs and it will combine beautifully with dermal filler. Wrinkles will reduce and crepe like skin will look more youthful. The results deliver a naturally attractive, subtle lift, that will give a refreshed, rejuvenated youthful look.

Treatments for Facial Ageing - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging of the skin and volume loss, and as time goes by, these will only intensify. Skin naturally starts to lose its elasticity, which causes wrinkles, and repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking and poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process and cause early wrinkling.

Dermal fillers fill the hollows under the eyes

Our skin ages in different ways:

Wrinkles
Skin loses some of its elasticity due to wrinkles and fine lines becoming thinner and drier and the wrinkles are often found around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Frequent fine motor movements of the face, that get repeated over the years, usually cause these lines.

• Eye Lines - Wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or at the computer screen.
• Frown lines - caused by frequent furrowing of the forehead in concentration or concern.
• Mouth lines - around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, or puckering the lips when drinking through a straw.

Loss of volume
As we get into our 30's, one of the most dramatic changes to the skin is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. Our skin will start to lose its plumpness because of the loss of fat and tissue under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

Loss in facial volume causes:

• Permanent parentheses lines on the resting face
• Sagging skin after sudden weight loss
• The cheeks flatten over time
• Hollows to appear under the eyes

Sagging
As we age, our skin loses the collagen and elastin which keeps it looking soft, plump and youthful. Ageing and gravity cause the facial muscles to weaken, which causes the skin to sag a little further down every day.

Sagging skin causes:

• Fine lines and wrinkles forming in the skin.
• Pores in the skin often seem bigger.
• Furrows and crevices start to develop around the eyes, neck and mouth.
• Lack of definition at the jaw

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control, like genetics, anatomy and gravity.
However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

A liquid face lift using a combination of botox and fillers

Botox - Facial lines and wrinkles aren't evident when the muscles underneath are relaxed. These signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.
Accent skin tightening - We can use this as a stand alone treatment or combined with other treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermaroller, to enhance results. These are great ways to tone, tighten and smooth your skin. It gives you rejuvenated skin firmness with the toned look of youth.
