A Positive Body Image Will Give You Confidence - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Every day we are bombarded with images of body perfection; in magazines, newspapers, television and social media, and it's impossible for any of us to live up to these images. The way we see ourselves affects how we feel about our body, and a poor body image comes from us feeling negative about our appearance, worrying if we're too tall, overweight or the wrong body shape.

Having a positive body image doesn't mean you think your body is perfect, after all no-one has a perfect body. Those with a positive body image are confident and comfortable with themselves, and don't waste any time worrying about the way they look.

Ways to raise your self-esteem:

• Concentrate on the parts of your body that you like
• Wear clothing that emphasises your good points
• Don't compare yourself to others
• Eat healthily but don't diet
• Begin an exercising regime
• Be active - walk and play sports regularly
• Do not smoke and only drink moderately
• Accept any compliments you receive

Sometimes it's a challenge to love our own bodies, when we’re surrounded by images in newspapers and magazines of skinny actresses and models - who's photo's have most probably been airbrushed There's a healthy weight range for our own particular body type, and we should consider that the food we put into our body is fuel, and all the choices we make about which food goes into our body should be a reflection of how good it is for our health. The number you see when you step on the scales is a measure of how healthy you are, and not how heavy.

We all have something we want to change about our body but we should only concentrate on the things we can change and not those that we can't. Instead of wishing you were taller or slimmer, go to a gym class and tone up your body. Always dress for how your body shape is and not what you wish it was, and wear clothing that you feel comfortable in, not clothes that feel too tight or restrict your movement.

Don't get stressed about size labels, as most clothes in the shops get made from templates, making it highly unlikely that these clothes will be a perfect fit on us anyway. You should feel good in the clothes you wear, so learn how to dress your own particular body shape, and find out which styles suit you and choose what works for you.

We can change the way we think about ourselves and the way we look. There are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that you can have, which will trim your body of unwanted fat. Vaser lipo can remove excess fat that you've found hard to lose through diet and exercise. Just a little smoothing out will make you look and feel more confident, and confidence is a very important part of maintaining a healthy body image.

Rejuvenate Your Face With A Vampire Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) also known as the Vampire Facelift, is a cosmetic treatment that's been used for about 8 years with fabulous results. It's a scientific discovery that recruits your body's natural agents, to rejuvenate your face and make you look years younger.

If you don't feel the need to undergo an invasive surgical procedure to improve the look of your skin, then the Vampire Facelift might be the solution you are looking for. When you notice your skin has become less smooth due to ageing, or your skin is looking tired, it might be time to consider a solution. The PRP treatment can give your skin back its youthful texture, glow and rosy colour.

The Vampire Facelift is an innovative treatment that uses the ingredients of your blood to rejuvenate tired, ageing skin along with fine lines and wrinkles. The unique ingredients of your blood are your platelets, and they're converted to platelet rich plasma by the Vampire Facelift technique.

Areas suitable for PRP treatment

For the Vampire Facelift treatment, we take 10 to 20 ml of blood, the same as a standard blood test, and this is then spun to separate blood platelets from the rest of the blood. Once these platelets have been withdrawn from the blood sample, they get injected carefully into the face and this stimulates new collagen formation, and this will result in rejuvenating your skin.

PRP is unique as there is :

• No risk of allergy or rejection. We are using your own blood.
• No animal materials involved.
• Minimal discomfort.
• Quick procedure, from start to finish of treatment is around one hour.

They injections are relatively painless, and we use a topical anaesthetic. We use very fine needles to inject small amounts of PRP into your skin, and from our experience, 3 treatments, spread 4 weeks apart are enough. The results can last up to 18 months and we recommend a touch up treatment around this time. The beauty of this treatment is that you are using your own blood, so it's completely non-toxic and hypoallergenic.

PRP is a stand alone or add-on treatment to the many cosmetic treatments we already offer at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. It gives good results for treatment of crepiness and wrinkling of the upper and lower eyelids.

It's also an ideal for enhancing the skin texture of the :

• Eye area
• Face
• Neck
• Hands
• Acne scarring

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Vampire Facelift clients are reporting back subtle improvements in wrinkle reduction, better skin texture and appearance, and their open pores are reducing dramatically.

Erase Fine Lines & Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing affects every area of the body, but of all the changes that occur, the changes in our face are the most obvious. Wrinkles and fine lines are the most common signs of ageing and they are formed through smiling, squinting, smoking, and any other repeated facial movement.

Wrinkles also develop because of damage to the skin, with the most damage coming from exposure to sunlight. Minimal, or no protection from the sun will cause the skin to become vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation. People who use sun cream regularly, are 24% less likely to show increased signs of ageing.

Wrinkle facts:

• Staying hydrated helps to keep the skin soft and supple. Dry skin leaves the skin looking flat and dull and the dryness will accentuate the wrinkles.
• You can get new wrinkles even when driving your car! The sun's UVA rays can penetrate through your car windows and cause wrinkling. Always wear sun cream.
• Heredity plays a role in how we age. The likelihood of us getting wrinkles and the timing at which we start to develop them, is influenced by genetics.
• Repeated facial expressions often cause the first of your wrinkles to form. Smiling, frowning and talking will all, over time, add lines to your face.
• Sleeping on the same side every night, repeatedly presses and squashes the face to the pillow. The problem is that the sleep lines won't spring back as quickly, the older we get.

Even if you have great genes and look younger than you are, there's no way to avoid the ageing changes in your facial appearance. The changes that appear on our face, are reflections our happiness and life challenges, and we can either learn to love these changes, or decide to do something about them.

These days we are all familiar with botox treatment, used to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic all our botox treatments are performed by our cosmetic doctor, Dr Bassi, who is trained in basic and advanced botox techniques. At Selston, we specialise in giving a soft natural look to your face and each botox treatment is customised specifically for you.

Botox treatments can be combined with procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and dermal fillers, which can help to prevent new wrinkles and lines from forming on the face.
