Laser Treatment for Ladies Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Beards might look great on the blokes, but not so much on the ladies. For women, one of the most embarrassing beauty issues is female facial hair, whether it's dark, coarse hairs or a sprinkling of pale peach fuzz.

Some facial hair on the upper lip, cheeks, hairline and chin is normal on women, although it can sometimes be quite hard to see as the hair is usually light and fair. It's when the facial hair develops thicker and coarser, that makes a woman want to seek hair removal treatment.

It's the male hormone testosterone that causes men to grow facial hair, but it's also quite normal for women to have low levels of testosterone in their body. Sometimes however, the hormones become unbalanced and this causes the testosterone levels to increase, and one result of this is thicker, coarser facial hair.

Facial hair in women is a result of :
Hormone imbalance.
Genetic and ethnic predisposition.
Underlying medical condition.
Being overweight.
Perimenopause and menopause

Most women wage a frequent battle against unwanted hair. Whether it's the hair on our legs, bikini lines, eyebrows, chins or the upper lip, over time we've tried all the hair removal tools at our disposal;

• Waxing
• Plucking
• Shaving
• Threading
• Bleaching

These methods are time-consuming, irritating and painful, and the hair comes back quickly and often thicker than before. But there is an alternative. Laser hair removal treatment offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair, which will save you both time and money in the long run.

Minimal discomfort might be experienced during laser treatment, just a minor stinging sensation on the skin when the we apply the laser pulses. Topical anaesthetic cream can easily be applied to the skin before the procedure, making treatments more comfortable.

Laser hair removal is a gentle and effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair from almost any area of the body. During the treatment, light gets absorbed by the melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy effectively destroys the hair follicle by heating the pigment, without damaging any of the surrounding cells, and then a short pulse of light simultaneously targets and destroys many of the hair follicles.

Laser hair removal not only creates smooth, natural looking skin, it's also the safest and most effective way to create permanent hair reduction, and has become the number one solution to removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal can give long-lasting results and the treatment is a better alternative, as we can treat small and large areas quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Dermal Filler Injections for Eye Bags, Sunken Eyes & Tear Troughs - Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield & Mansfield

There's nothing worse than spending ages doing your make-up, then looking in the mirror and all you notice is your tired looking eyes. Anyone can suffer from hollows under the eyes, although they inevitably worsen, the older you get. Having sunken eye hollows can cause you to feel disheartened when you notice the lost volume under the eyes. The volume loss can start in your early twenties and they tend to become more obvious with age.

The tear trough extends from the inner corner of the eye, making an arc shape, and continuing on to the outer corner, like a crescent-shaped area under your eye. The delicate skin under your eyes can sometimes seem dark, sunken and hollow and this is usually a result of either ageing, dehydration, or not getting enough sleep.

Why do we get dark circles and hollows under our eyes;

• Ageing.
• The most common reason is heredity.
• Volume loss caused by the loss of orbital fat under the lower eyelids .
• Collagen loss in the skin from age and sun damage.
• Dehydration causes a temporary loss of volume in the under-eye area.

A pronounced dip under the eye, creates shadows and can leave you looking tired and older than your years. Injecting dermal filler into the eye hollow can smooth the area, lessen the look of the dark circles and rejuvenate the area. Tear trough treatment places the dermal filler below the skin, which lifts up the tissues and makes the tear trough seem more shallow.

There are many terms used for sunken eyes:

• Hollow eyes
• Dark shadows
• Thin-looking skin beneath the eyes
• Dark circles beneath the eyes
• A tired face
• Tear trough hollows
• Under-eye hollows

The tear trough treatment is almost painless and it needs only a small amount of local anaesthetic numbing cream applied to the skin about 20 minutes before the injection treatment starts. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi uses a cannula for tear trough injections, as this technique minimises bruising and is a gentler technique. The recovery time is very quick, although patients may experience some redness and swelling, but this can easily be minimised with cover up make up.

Ways to improve sunken eyes;

• Have 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
• To relieve tiredness, apply slices of cucumber on the eyes to cool the skin and improve the blood circulation.
• Warm or cool tea bags placed on the eyes can improve blood circulation.
• To flush out excess water and reduce the dark, puffy appearance under the eyes, eat foods such as watermelon, celery and cucumber.
• A diet of dark green vegetables, like; spinach, broccoli, kale and sprouts will help with deep sunken eyes.

Many people are unhappy with the depressions and shadows beneath the eyes, and dermal filler treatments to this area are a safe and effective alternative to surgery.

Regain Your Flat Tummy With Vaser Lipo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of people think that beauty is all about what we see in the mirror, but really, beauty should also relate to our health and happiness. The fact is, that when you feel good about yourself, your self-confidence gets a boost, and having a positive self-image of ourselves, contributes to our overall well-being.

Vaser lipo is a suitable treatment for men and women. There might be many reasons for wanting this procedure; whether it's because of areas of stubborn fat that we just can't lose, even when we diet and exercise, or maybe post pregnancy baby belly. Removing fat from certain locations on the female body with vaser, will reveal the soft curves that usually define the female form, or maybe you want a more drastic fat removal, to re-shape and contour your body.

For a woman, although pregnancy and childbirth is an amazing thing, it's a major ordeal for the body to go through, and may leave the woman's body with excess fat, stretched and saggy skin. With vaser lipo, we can easily treat your mummy tummy and it's also ideal for small and large areas. It will also bring about skin tightening to really improve areas such as the arms, double chins and the knees, areas that are normally quite difficult to treat. 

Reasons for considering Vaser Lipo on the tummy:

• To take away stubborn excess post pregnancy fat.
• Reducing fatty bulges and sculpting a beautiful natural contour to the body.
• To give the body a more balanced and proportionate look.
• You will gain increased body confidence and improve your self-image.

Vaser lipo is gentle and a lot more precise than traditional liposuction, and it's a good way of removing fat from localised areas that seem resistant to diet and exercise. Vaser lipo involves inserting a thin probe, that emits ultrasound waves, these loosen the fat cells and are then removed using a suction cannula. There are many benefits with this procedure; minimal pain, bruising and swelling and immediate results.

Vaser lipo on the tummy area is a walk in, walk out treatment, and it's designed to flatten, tighten and contour the tummy. Vaser results are immediate and once the swelling and bruising has subsided, you'll get a clear indication of your new contours.

The vaser procedure doesn't involve knives or surgery, making it one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures available and ideal for those who are looking for safer, less painful alternatives to traditional liposuction. After your procedure, there'll be a gradual and continual improvement, and by six months you'll be able to see your final shape.

Beautiful Enhanced & Defined Lips At Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, our lips can get thinner and lose their definition and even a small amount of dermal filler can make all the difference. The lip clinic at Selston Cosmetic Clinic specialises in lip enhancement and lip augmentation, which is great in this age of selfies, when many of us want to perfect our pout.

Over the last few years, fuller lips have become very popular and the size and shape of the lips can easily be enhanced with dermal filler treatment, giving more volume and a fuller look to the lips. Lots of people worry that they might leave the clinic with over inflated lips, sometimes called a trout pout, but be assured this would never happen at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. Dr Bassi has performed many lip fillers and his treatment ethos is to produce elegant looking luscious lips, which should only get you compliments.

Our Client wanted to be rid of her lip creases gone, as well as tweaks to her lip outline and definition.

Lip enhancement generally involves giving your lips the outline and definition that time has destroyed and it will also minimize lip bleed. We can define the cupid bow which will give female lips a balance. The philtrum ridges, when defined by insertion of dermal filler, will further enhance the features of the lips.

Lip augmentation involves making the body of the lips fuller. The upper and lower lip can have filler injected into them, giving more volume and substance to the lip.

Lip treatments are always a popular procedure at the clinic. It takes about 15 minutes and the result is instant. Normally one syringe is more than enough to make a big difference and results will last around 6 months. Whether the aim is to restore lost volume from the ageing process or to augment the lips for cosmetic reasons, Dr Bassi will use his skill and experience to advise what will best suit your face. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic lip filler is £175 for 1ml hyaluronic acid filler and £300 for 2ml.

This client wanted greater volume with a natural look and an improved outline.

The great thing about lip fillers is how the results are almost immediate. After the injections, you may get some swelling, but once it wears down, you'll see the effects without having to wait weeks to see your new lips. Lip filler treatments last a considerable amount of time and get excellent results, but they aren't a permanent solution and will need to be repeated.

Dr Bassi specialises in exquisite, natural looking lips and because no-ones lips are identical, he tailors his facial and lip filler treatments to each individual patient, to help them look and feel their best.

Botox Injections to Relax & Soften the Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the main things that makes people nervous of having botox injections, is the thought of leaving the clinic with a mask like expression on their face. But botox doesn't have to leave you with a frozen looking face, because when it's done properly, it can make you looking younger, fresher and more vibrant. Tell-tale signs of badly injected botox, are a smooth and shiny forehead, or a face that doesn't move when you laugh or cry.

Once you have decided to have botox treatment, you must find a qualified and experienced doctor. A good cosmetic doctor must have a good knowledge about facial anatomy and skin.

We built the Selston Cosmetic Clinic on the strong foundation of Dr Bassi's 26 years of experience in medicine;

• Dr Bassi has been a part of the aesthetic industry for over 10 years and has a keen passion for human aesthetics.
• He is fully trained in botox and advanced botox techniques and has performed thousands of procedures.
• Dr Bassi continues to develop his techniques to provide the most up to date treatments to meet all the individual needs of all our clients.
• He has successfully performed thousands of botox procedures, and is always updating and perfecting his technique, by attending lots of conferences in facial aesthetics.
• Dr Bassi tailors his facial remodelling treatments to suit each patient, using artistry and scientific principles of beauty.

Before having any botox treatment, a consultation with Dr Bassi will be necessary. At the free consultation, he'll be able to tell you of the benefits, as well as any potential risks that might be associated with botox treatment. At the clinic we have a high client satisfaction rate and have many returning clients. Selston Cosmetic Clinic prides itself on delivering a professional, cost-effective service, which is well received by our clients.

The furrows that develop between the brows can give you an expression of intense concentration or even make you look angry. Relaxing these wrinkles will give your face a softer, more relaxed expression. A small amount of botox gets injected into the muscle that has created the wrinkle, and this results in the muscle relaxing, which softens the look of the wrinkles.

Botox is most commonly used to reduce frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead, crow’s feet or laughter-lines. Botox treatment isn't just about making you look more youthful, but more about making you look fresher and rejuvenated.

Vaser Lipo to Eliminate Back & Bra Fat - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Vaser lipo is suitable for women and men, and is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available. It's a procedure which  allows you to achieve definition, curves and will alter your shape and dress size. Vaser lipo is a body sculpting treatment, it's not designed as a weight loss treatment.

All women want to look and feel beautiful, but unfortunately there are certain things that can ruin our perfect look, whether it's the fat on our stomach, flabby thighs or bingo wings. One of the most unflattering things, is the bulge on our back, around the bra line area, which causes your bra to dig in, and the bulges to show from under tops and summer dresses. Wearing strapless and low back clothes is out of the question and it can ruin a smooth, sleek silhouette.

Many women struggle to get rid of back or bra fat. It's possible to have a healthy lifestyle and have a lean, athletic figure but still have stubborn areas of fat that refuse to go away. Unfortunately, no matter how strict your diet or how much you exercise, the back is one of the hardest areas of the body to lose fat and create tone.  Excess fat in this area can make your clothes fit uncomfortably, making you seem bigger than you actually are, and even when you’re fit and healthy, this added fat can have a profound effect on your self-esteem and body image.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, our ideal client is very close to their natural body weight, maybe carrying an extra couple of kilos, but isn't obese. When fatty deposits are just found in localised areas of the body; such as tummy, back, love handles or thighs, then the vaser results are much more defined and noticeable.

During your vaser lipo procedure, Dr Bassi will numb the treatment area with local anaesthetic. He will make tiny incisions, usually in the skin's natural creases so they'll be unnoticeable after the procedure. Small vaser probes get inserted, which will direct ultrasound energy into the fat cells, then we emulsify the fat cells which are then easily removed with a suction cannula.

Vaser has the potential to dramatically enhance the body’s shape. If you get into a healthy diet and an exercise routine before vaser lipo treatment, it will help you maintain your results after the procedure. The best candidates for the vaser lipo are those who are in good health and at a healthy starting weight.

How Our Lifestyle Can Affect Our Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our lifestyles are becoming more hectic and modern technology is taking over our lives. All this eventually takes it toll - on our skin!

Stressful schedules
A busy social life, and trying to go to every social invitation we're invited to, can leave us tired and increase our stress levels. Tiredness and stress can cause wrinkles and dull skin, and it can lower your immune system, which can result in acne breakouts.

Binge-watching
It seems that these days, there are many fantastic films and TV shows that we just have to watch. In these days of box sets and netflix, no-one wants to wait for next weeks episode, and we tend to binge-watch them in one sitting. Unfortunately, this can cause tiredness, dehydrated, dull looking skin, dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes.

Late nights
Failing to get a good nights sleep can cause havoc with our skin. Whether it's because of partying with your friends, working or watching movies late into the night, we are quite literally losing our beauty sleep. One of the side-effects of drinking excess alcohol, is its capacity to dry out the skin. The later we fall into our beds, the more likely we won't bother to remove our make-up and this can end up clogging your pores and causing spots. Lack of sleep will dehydrate your skin making it seem dull, and cause puffiness and dark shadows under the eyes.

Technology
It's scary to think that our mobile phone and gadgets might be ruining our looks. Our obsession with our phones and i-pads is really taking its toll on our neck and jaw line. The skin on the neck is thin and fragile, and because it's a highly visible part of the body, this area can really show how fast we are ageing. When you're constantly staring down at your phone; at social media, you tube and game apps, it causes sagging jowls and wrinkles on the neck, accelerating the signs of ageing.

Out and about
When we are outside we come into contact with; car fumes, smog and dust, and over time they all have a harmful effect on our skin. They are all impossible things for us to avoid, and can cause dehydration, wrinkles and redness. It's now believed that pollution is just as damaging to our skin as UV exposure. It's important to cleanse, tone and moisterize the skin, to rid it of daily dirt and grime.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have many treatments to help with the latest safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for fine lines and wrinkle reduction, dull, dehydrated skin, dark shadows and tear troughs. Our experienced and fully trained aesthetic team will talk you through a range of treatments, either single treatments or combining different treatments.
