FUE Hair Transplants to Restore a Full Head of Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As they grow older, most men will lose hair, and though for some the loss is barely noticeable, for others it's very obvious. and when hair loss is severe or begins at a young age, it can cause great anxiety. For men, hair loss can cause distress especially if it happens in their early adult life, whether the hair is thinning on top, receding at the temples or going bald at the back.

It's a fact of life that most men will lose some, or all of their hair as they get older, and while some men embrace their baldness, there are also those who decide to do something about it.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic's renowned hair transplant surgeon, Raghu Reddy, has developed the Third Generation FUE; the most advanced minimally invasive method of hair restoration, which can achieve better and more natural looking results than more traditional procedures. With these advanced techniques, the results can be very convincing, especially when restoration is performed by such an experienced hair transplant surgeon.

Benefits of Third Generation FUE includes:

• No scalpels, stitches or linear scarring
• Natural-looking results
• The ability to achieve maximum density
• Ability to choose grafts and hair for different areas of the scalp
• Lifelong guarantee
• Future loss of hair can be countered for
• We can correct previous scars

Since Dr Reddy started to perform FUE hair transplants at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, which is his satellite clinic serving the North and Midlands, his wealth of experience has made him a much sought after FUE transplant surgeon. Dr Reddy works most weekends at the Selston clinic.

The transplant procedure involves taking single hairs, which contain the sebaceous glands, as well as the nerve and blood tissue and then transplanting them to the area that needs filling in. We take the hair from the back of the head, and as this hair is not subject to hair loss, once it's transplanted it will remain. It's a painless procedure with little down time and no linear scaring.

The photo's below show Dr Reddy implanting the grafts and the grafts being prepared.

FUE treatments will leave you with natural looking, long-lasting results. The technique precisely targets and transplants only the strong, healthy hair follicles that aren't sensitive to testosterone, and this results in the hair loss being restored permanently. The specialist hair transplant doctors use custom-made microsurgical tools to ensure a single minimally invasive procedure, without unsightly scarring.

There will be some minor pin prick scarring immediately after the procedure, but this disappears during the healing process which takes approximately 5-7 days and any redness or slight swelling in the treatment area will also subside.

Get A Flatter Toned Chest with Vaser Lipo For Man Boobs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Most men want a well toned body, with a well toned chest, but unfortunately some men tend to gain weight on the breast area, which tends to cause a lot of embarrassment, and makes them extremely self-conscious about their body.

Before and after vaser lipo treatment

Lots of people joke about man boobs, but it isn't really a laughing matter for the men affected by this condition. It can cause psychological harm on those suffering, and can easily cause loss of confidence and even depression, especially to teenaged boys.

Man boobs, or gynecomastia, happens to more than 40% of men, and those who have this condition usually try to disguise their breasts from being seen by others. Whether it's wearing oversized shirts and tops, avoiding activities like swimming, where their bodies would be on show or even going to the extremes of binding the chest to try to get a smoother silhouette. These days, lots of men who are looking for a lasting solution to treat their oversized moobs, are now aware of vaser lipo treatment to have the fat in the breast area removed.

Important benefits of Vaser Lipo

• It can refine and emphasise muscle appearance
• Smooth's the skin in the most delicate areas, such as the arms and neck
• Can easily remove large amounts of stored fats
• Small incision scars won’t be visible as they will blend into the natural creases of your skin
• Can produce readily visible results in a single procedure
• Minimal discomfort and there's no risk involved.

The vaser lipo treatment uses ultrasound energy to break up fatty deposits in precisely targeted areas of the chest. It's gentle to the surrounding tissue, nerves, blood vessels and veins. The precise and gentle techniques mean that vaser treatment has a faster healing time that's much quicker than traditional liposuction. The skin on the treatment area is left looking much smoother, leaving you with a more naturally defined silhouette.

Before and after a vaser lipo procedure

The vaser lipo technique helps to contract and tighten the skin to sculpt the body. It's gentle to the tissue surrounding treatment areas, so as not to cause sagging skin but rather leave a smooth, contoured finish.

Vaser lipo treatment for male breast reduction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among men. You'll see the results immediately, although after the procedure is over, you'll have to take some precautions for quicker healing. You'll wear a compression garment for some weeks afterwards and in case of swelling or bruising, your doctor will prescribe you with pain relief.

Treatments To Improve The Condition of Your Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield Chesterfield

We are all different and we will all age in different ways. Some of us, if we are lucky, will grow old having firm, clear skin with a minimal of wrinkles, however, many of us won't. Over the years, we have many concerns about our skin's condition, and stress, worry, sun damage and even genetics, all play their part in how we'll look when we grow old.

We all know that as we get older everything can start to go steadily downhill and our skin will start to show its age, with fine lines and wrinkles beginning to appear. The skin becomes dull and our skin might lose elasticity, as our bodies no longer makes collagen at the same levels it used to. Luckily, these days we can actually do a lot to repair the outer damage, and give us back our healthy looking complexion.

A Non-Surgical Nose Job For a Perfect Facial Profile - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A non-surgical nose job using dermal fillers, is a great alternative that's available to those interested in improving or just enhancing the shape of their noses, without going through the pain, the cost and the recovery time, that's associated with a surgical nose job. However, a nose job using fillers can't make the nose smaller or correct deformities, but it can enhance the nose balance and correct asymmetry, as well as bridge augmentation and straightening your profile.

The non-surgical nose job is also known as the liquid nose job and is an ideal option for those who are unhappy with their nose shape but don't want invasive surgery. Using dermal filler treatment means there's minimal downtime, the results are instant and there's no need for a general anaesthetic.

You'll be a good candidate for nose reshaping if you want to :

• Straighten and soften a bump on the bridge of the nose
• Correct a nose that requires more height and definition.
• Define a nose following a surgical rhinoplasty
• Amend a slightly crooked nose
• Correct a hooked shape or a mild drooping of the nasal tip

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic the non-surgical nose job treatment begins with numbing cream getting applied to the outside of the nose. A fine needle injects Radiesse dermal filler into precise locations on the nose. The Radiesse filler does not migrate or lump together in the tissues and when it does break down, 8 to 10 months later, it does so symmetrically and evenly. The filler injections will take anywhere between 20-30 minutes to complete. The procedure results aren't permanent and will need future top-up treatments.

With dermal filler treatment the results are instant. After the procedure, the treated area may seem slightly red or swollen, but you can resume normal activities, and return to work immediately after the procedure. The results usually last 8 to 10 months, although the exact time will depend on the structure of your skin, lifestyle and age. Additional treatments can easily be performed any time after the first treatment.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi, who is a skilled, experience doctor, performs the non-surgical rhinoplasty. It's an ideal treatment that's quick, with no cuts or scars, has minimal downtime and will transform your appearance.

Enhance Your Lips With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield.

If you feel conscious that your lips have become thinner or that they disappear when you smile, then a lip augmentation might be the answer. It's a great treatment for those with thin lips or those who think having full lips will help to balance their face. Dermal filler injected into the lips will help them to look fuller by increasing the volume, which will make them look bigger and plumper.

Lip augmentation will :

• Increase lip volume
• Achieve a symmetrical look
• Enhance lip contours
• Improve the lip outline and definition
• Reduce lines and wrinkles from around the mouth

Lip augmentation is one of the most popular treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. It works to smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area and to shape and add volume to the lips, all helping to create the perfect overall look to enhance your facial features.

Wrinkles
Lips can become crepey and covered in fine lines. A lip filler injection to the upper and lower lips will boost hydration levels. This will hydrate the lips as well as smoothing the wrinkles.

Mouth and lip lines
Women have a problem with vertical lines around the mouth which cause lipstick bleeds and these are usually caused by genetics, smoking or sun exposure. With dermal filler we can soften these lines, leaving the area around the mouth enhanced, giving it a more youthful look.

Undefined lips
Lip filler added to the vermilion border, will give an outline, improve definition and minimize lip bleed.

Thin lips
Some of us are born with naturally thin lips or they lose volume as we age. A non-permanent filler made from hyaluronic acid can boost the lip area. Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient which gets broken down by the body over time, and can also be dissolved if you don't like the results.

Shape
The older we get, the more chance that the edge of the lips will become less defined. Over time, the collagen and elastin breaks down and the lips lose their pouting shape, and lines begin to develop around the lips.

It’s a fast procedure with almost no downtime. Any side effects such as swelling, bruising or redness are temporary and resolve within a few days and any lumpiness can easily be gently massaged out and will settle within a couple of days. After lip filler treatment, keep your lips moisturised and use a moisturising sun block.

At Selston, Dr Bassi has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner and has performed thousands of injectable treatments with outstanding results which are specific to you.

Botox Means You Won't Suffer With Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Summer has arrived and while the warm sunny weather might be great for some of us, there are others who dread it. Excessive sweating can bring misery to those who suffer from it. For one thing it can cause embarrassment and affect your self-confidence, and then worrying about it causes anxiety, which in turn can make the sweating worse.

A few factors about why you sweat;

Male and Female
Men sweat the most, especially during rigorous exercising and even though women have more sweat glands than men, they produce less sweat from each gland.
Body Mass
Because men are usually heavier and have more muscle mass, they tend to produce more heat than women do while exercising. So it seems that the higher a person's body mass index (BMI), the more they sweat. 
Alcohol
Alcohol will increase your heart rate and dilate the blood vessels, making your skin look flushed. Too much alcohol consumption will raise your body temperature, causing you to sweat more.
Spicy Foods
Your body temperature will go up when you eat spicy foods, causing your body to produce sweat to help cool itself down.
Hot Weather
On hot sunny days your body temperature will rise, increasing the heart rate and the blood flow, trying to cool itself down. However, in humid weather, when there's more moisture in the air, it's harder for the sweat on your skin to evaporate, slowing down the cooling process.
Constant sweating
People who experience excessive sweating are suffering from a condition known as hyperhidrosis, and this condition causes them to perspire more than is necessary to regulate their body temperature.

Those of us who sweat a lot, know that it can cause inconvenience, be uncomfortable, and even be embarrassing in some situations, as some of us will find out as we begin a glorious sunny summer.
But there are things that you can do to keep your sweating to a minimum;

• Clinical strength antiperspirants - Try to use antiperspirants labelled as clinical strength, which usually has aluminium chloride as its active ingredient. And don't forget - antiperspirants keep you from sweating, whilst deodorants just make you smell nice when you sweat.
• Botox injections - We can inject botox into the skin, to the areas of the body affected by hyperhidrosis. Botox helps to reduce sweating in these areas by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands.
• Diet - Calcium can slow down the sweating so eating calcium rich foods like low-fat yogurt, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, almonds, baked beans, kale and collard greens will help to regulate temperature and reduce perspiration.

Botox hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we provide the latest, safe, effective cosmetic medical treatments for excessive sweating. So, if you want a cool, dry summer, call us at Selston Cosmetic Clinic for more information.

Dermal Filler Restores Volume in Ageing Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, it's our hands that are one of the first areas that tend to show signs of ageing more than other parts of the body. Dry skin, wrinkles and sunspots on the hands are a dead giveaway about our age.

We use our hands all day, every day, whether it's housework, gardening or daily exposure to the weather. The sun, wind and rain, over the years, can cause our hands to become scaly, sun-damaged, wrinkled and veiny, and this all makes them look older than they are.

The hands, face and neck are the most visible areas of the body that are unclothed. People tend to concentrate their beauty regime on their face, using the best moisturisers, anti-ageing serums, sun-creams and make-up to help keep it looking as youthful as possible for as long as possible. The hands however, tend to be overlooked.

Over time the hands lose volume, fat and elasticity and become translucent and wrinkly and this results in the veins, tendons and bony structures becoming more apparent.

Before and after

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:

• Age / Sun spots - We get pigmentation spots on the hands after years of exposure to the sun and without prevention they will multiply, so when you're applying sun cream, don't forget to rub it into your hands.
• Prominent veins - Loss of volume that occurs with ageing will leave the hands thinner and bony, and this will make the veins more prominent. 
• Dry skin -  As with the face, a dry, dull complexion will make your hands look older than they are, so putting on an emollient-rich hand cream will help to improve the skin. Always use a hand moisturiser on the hands as dry skin can make the skin look wrinkly.
• Crepey skin - As we get older, the body produces less collagen. When the hands lose collagen, the skin on the hands gets thinner and starts to look dry and crumpled. UV light also results in collagen damage.

Exposure to the sun can quickly age your hands, but the bigger problem is volume loss. Dermal fillers will restore lost volume and plump up bony hands, making prominent veins look less obvious. A topical anesthetic gets applied before treatment and most dermal fillers contain anesthetic which makes the procedure much less painful and then dermal fillers are delicately inserted through small cannulas. The quality and texture of your skin improves with dermal filler treatment and decreases wrinkles and prominent veins.
