Rejuvenate & Brighten the Skin with Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes, when we look at our skin, all we notice are the fine lines, wrinkles, sun damaged and uneven skin tone, we might have blackheads and white heads, or maybe we have acne prone skin or superficial age spots. Medical microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment, if you want to improve the look of any of these symptoms.

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin rejuvenating technique, designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It works on fine wrinkles by evening out the skin texture through abrasion of the top layer of the skin. The results are subtle, resulting in a fresher look, reducing the fine lines and acne scarring. This is a fantastic treatment which will leave the skin feeling smoother and looking healthier, making it a lot easier for us to apply make-up.

Microdermabrasion treatment improves:

• Blotchy, uneven skin tones.
• Dull lifeless skin.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Sun damaged skin/age spots.
• Enlarged pores/blemishes.
• Acne scarring.
• Blackheads and white heads.

Microdermabrasion doesn't use any lasers or chemicals. The treatment involves passing a fine collection of medical grade crystals over the skin's surface, using a hand-held device. The micro-crystals, which are hard enough to disrupt the unwanted, tired skin cells that cause dull looking skin, but small enough not to do any damage or cause pain or discomfort. The micro-crystals propel across the skin's surface, removing just the top layer of skin cells, revealing new living cells and leaving behind a healthy glow. Treatment leaves the skins epidermal layers rejuvenated, leading to collagen production and plumper skin.

You should avoid microdermabrasion treatment if you have eczema, as it could worsen the condition. Sufferers of rosacea should also avoid this treatment as the exfoliation process also worsens the redness, itchiness and flaking symptoms.

At your first consultation you'll be advised on the number of treatments you will need. The whole procedure is usually complete within 20 minutes and the results are instantly visible. Some treatments may take longer, depending on the skin's condition and the overall required results. It's recommended that you take a course of treatments for long-lasting, overall improved skin appearance.

The treatment's been used to treat millions of clients over the last decade, achieving fantastic results. The procedure is safe and painless and there are no side effects. Microdermabrasion machines offer state of the art treatments, from mild exfoliation to deeper medical treatments, and this translates into more impressive and lasting results to you. It will improve, refresh and rejuvenate your skin.

Botox Injections For Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It doesn't matter how much we might hate it, sweating is a natural and important part of the body's ability to regulate its temperature, but excessive sweating is a different thing altogether. It's more than just a nuisance; it's uncomfortable, embarrassing and can lead to body odour and stained clothing, which can cause distress and anxiety.

There is some practical advice to deal with excessive sweating:

• Wearing appropriate clothing is essential. Cotton fabric is ideal as it's cool and it absorbs sweat, but it does tend to remain damp.
• Clothes made with synthetic fibres tend to draw sweat away from the body and make you feel dry, however this fabric is good at keeping the body warm and this can just make you sweat even more.
• Keeping your house and work environment well ventilated will help.
• A change of clothing during the day can help make you feel more comfortable.

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition which causes a person to sweat excessively. The sweating may affect the entire body, or it might only affect certain areas. Areas which are commonly affected include;

* The armpits
* Palms of the hands and soles of the feet
* The face
* Chest
* Groin

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:

• It limits what type of fabrics you can wear.
• Washing and dry-cleaning bills will probably soar.
• The embarrassment and frustration we feel when we're in public and with groups of friends.
• The chances are, that you will have to change your clothing more often.

Sweating excessively from the armpits is one of the most embarrassing of conditions and can seriously affect our self-esteem and the way we carry out our daily lives. If you are feeling hot and bothered and antiperspirants aren't keeping you dry, there are treatment options available to those suffering from excessive sweating.

Botox Hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative, with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. Firstly numbing the area to minimise any discomfort and then very small quantities of botox get injected in the armpit region, just under the skin. The use of very fine needles makes the botox injections almost painless.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest, safe, effective cosmetic medical treatments for excessive sweating. The treatment usually takes about 20-30 minutes and you can return to work immediately after the procedure. In most cases the treatment takes effect within a matter of days and can last up to 4-6 months.

Laser Away Unwanted Facial & Body Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over a lifetime, women can spend vast amounts of money on hair removal products, whether that's disposable razors, electrolysis, depilatory creams or waxing, either doing them at home or having treatment in a beauty salon. 

We try to find new ways of getting rid of unwanted body hair, some of us preferring to shave, some will wax, pluck or use depilatory creams, while others prefer laser hair removal to get rid of the hair permanently.

Getting rid of hairy legs, underarms or even that embarrassing upper lip and chin hair can work out costly, and you might think that having laser hair removal treatment would be more expensive than these treatments, but in fact over a lifetime, it works out much cheaper. Shaving, plucking, waxing and creams are time-consuming and what's more, only temporary. Laser hair removal can give long-lasting results, treating both large and small areas quickly and effectively.

Area's for hair removal:

• Upper lip
• Chin
• Forearms
• Underarms
• Legs
• Bikini line
• Back

Depending on the area, treatment can take from 10 minutes for the upper lip to 45 minutes for the back. The laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair, and the intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle without harming the surrounding skin, stopping future hair growth. 

Advanced Laser Technology offers a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair. 

Laser hair removal treatment has many benefits;

• For small areas the procedure time can take as little as 15 minutes
• The treatment course is six treatments, four weeks apart
• After treatment you can go back to work the following day
• The results last for one year plus
• Local anaesthetic makes any discomfort minimal
• You'll see final results after twelve weeks

Most clients experience minimal discomfort, some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses. We offer a topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable. Once your treatment session is complete, you are free to resume your normal routine. Some clients might experience a slight redness in the treated area, but this should resolve in a day or two.

Laser hair removal treatments have been around for a few years now and they still rank as one of the most popular beauty treatments out there, and it's not going anywhere, anytime soon. So if the thought of not having to shave, pluck or wax is tempting, then laser hair removal is the way to go.

Streamline Your Body With Vaser Lipo Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to look our best, but sometimes, even when we have a healthy diet and do a fair amount of exercise, we can still have trouble getting rid of areas of unwanted fat. Fat distribution in the body is largely determined by genetics, and while some people have problem areas at the hips and thighs, others may have issues with their arms or flanks. You can't spot reduce fat, and it's extremely hard to shift fat from stubborn areas so when you've tried everything else, perhaps it's time to turn to vaser lipo to treat those problem areas.

Vaser can;

• Remove excess fat from targeted areas 
• It's gentle procedure which can treat delicate areas
• Remove fat that is resistant to diet and exercise
• Provide precise body contouring
• Promote skin tightening for firm, smooth results

Vaser liposuction can remove unwanted fat deposits and help sculpt your body into a shape you're happy with. Vaser lipo uses the latest ultrasound technology which gently re-shapes your body to give better definition, and helps to achieve a slim and balanced appearance.

Areas That Can Be Treated With Vaser Lipo;

• Hips - love handles (the excess fat sitting on the sides of the torso)
• Arms - bingo wings (the underneath part of the upper arm)

• Thighs - the outer thighs and can also help to create an inner thigh gap
• Buttocks - reduce the size of the bottom
• Knees - the fatty deposits front and back of the knees

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!

Straighten & Enhance Your Nose Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you are unhappy about the shape of your nose, then treatment using a non-surgical dermal filler is a great option, using it in various ways to correct the problem. Whether it's used to straighten a curved or hook shape, plump out areas or depressions caused by an accident or maybe inserting filler into the nose tip for an upturned appearance, dermal fillers can solve these problems, and more:

• Straighten a slightly crooked nose.
• Build up a small nose.
• Straighten noses that are hook shaped.
• Correct a mild to moderate bump or depression on the bridge of the nose.
• A moderate drooping of nasal tip.
• Refinement after surgical rhinoplasty.
• Noses that would like more height, definition and a nose tip.
• Smoothing contours of the nose.

Until recent years, the only solution for reshaping the nose was a surgical rhinoplasty, which is a painful procedure which requires an overnight stay in the hospital and time off work for recovery. A surgical nose job is still the main solution for significant corrections on the size and shape of the nose, but for those with moderate issues, wanting nose reshaping or re-contouring, then a non-surgical nose job procedure is an ideal solution.

At a consultation, the doctor will discuss your needs and expectations and will look at your nasal profile, making sure that the treated nose will be in proportion to the width and height of your face. During the procedure topical anaesthesia gets applied to the nasal surface, which will numb the area, and the dermal filler is then injected into precise areas of the nose. It's a painless procedure lasting about ten minutes and there might be minimal swelling or redness afterwards, which will subside after a few days.

Compared to a surgical rhinoplasty:

• The results you get with dermal filler treatments are natural-looking.
• The results are visible straight away, compared to almost a year for surgical rhinoplasty.
• The client is conscious during the procedure and can interact with their cosmetic doctor.
• There's no downtime after the procedure.
• Any minor bruising or redness usually goes away in three to four days, but you can use make-up to hide this.
• Treatment takes minutes, not hours.
• Local anaesthetic used and minimal discomfort.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty and the results are instantly visible. If you have always wanted to give your nose a different look but you are reluctant to have invasive surgery, then this is the ideal treatment. A well-done rhinoplasty can subtly enhance your features and restore facial harmony, resulting in a very pleasing, natural appearance.

Safe Botox Treatment in Reputable Clinics - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Surprisingly anyone, regardless of qualifications or experience, can administer non-surgical cosmetic treatments like botox, meaning that every year in the UK, thousands of people suffer at the hands of untrained practitioners. Deciding where to go for botox treatment for the first time is difficult, but there are things that you can check, so you pick the right clinic, making sure that you're putting your health and appearance into the hands of the right people.

It's perfectly legal for anyone, regardless of what knowledge, ability, qualifications or experience they might have, to administer treatments to the paying customer. Treatments given by untrained people can result in injuries ranging from infections, burns, scarring and allergic reactions. The most popular and most used non-surgical cosmetic procedure is botox; the injectable treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, but to keep yourself safe, there are certain things to think about before deciding to have botox.

You should only go to a qualified and trained practitioner, preferably a doctor with experience in cosmetic treatments, and who has specialised, had training in facial anatomy and has a well-developed aesthetic eye.

• You can easily check out UK doctors on the registration checking service, which allows you to check a doctors GMC status online.
• Most reputable clinics offer a free consultation to clients, where you can enquire about different cosmetic procedures and find out what's involved in your chosen treatments before you commit yourself.
• Botox parties at home aren't safe or suitable places to have treatment. Avoid.
• Although most people tolerate injections, there are some people more sensitive to needles than others. Usually topical anesthetic creams or gels get applied to numb the area before any injections. Botox needles are very thin and the injections aren't very deep, so any discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal.
• The Practitioner/Doctor should offer a 2-week follow-up review.
• After injections, there's always some slight swelling and bruising, regardless of the experience and skill of your doctor. Significant results will show after 3-7 days when everything has settled down.
• Less is more, so always be aware that over-treating the face can make the face expressionless and mask-like.

Having botox injected into your facial muscles is a skilled procedure and should only be administered by professionals. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we provide an extensive range of cosmetic procedures, from botox, to vaser lipo, to laser hair removal etc, for the face and body.
