Enhance Your Look With Semi-Permanent Make-up - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

People choose to have applications of semi-permanent make-up for a variety of reasons. Whether it's because of limited time in the mornings or perhaps you'd rather spend the extra minutes in bed, then semi-permanent make-up could be the treatment for you. For some people it's about saving time and taking away the hassle of applying make-up every morning, maybe they want to change or enhance their natural features, but others find it the ideal choice if they have poor eyesight, have medical conditions such as alopecia or suffer with neurological weakness or tremors, in fact anyone who finds it difficult applying make-up evenly every day will benefit hugely by having semi-permanent make-up.

Some of the benefits of semi-permanent makeup:

• It saves time
• Improves the look of sparse, fair-haired or poorly shaped eyebrows
• Helps those suffering with alopecia, or hair loss through medical problems
• Gives you back lost shape and definition
• Helps to achieve symmetrical eyebrows
• It's ideal for those who are sensitive to the ingredients in make-up
• People who suffer from poor eyesight or shaky hands
• Stays on the face at the gym or the swimming pool
• Balances facial features that are unsymmetrical or uneven
• Skilfully designed treatment tailored to suit each persons needs

Semi-permanent make-up is safe and hygienic. Topical anaesthetic cream gets applied to deal with any minor discomfort, and then it's applied quickly and easily and is almost pain-free. For the first few days mild redness and swelling may occur, but you can go back to normal everyday activity straight after the treatment.

Lip liner - makes the lips seem fuller, giving them definition and colour
Eyebrows - semi-permanent make-up can thicken, redefine or lengthen the look of the eyebrows
Eyeliner - gives a subtle lash enhancement or a definite line, making your eyes look bigger and wider

After semi-permanent treatment it's important not to touch or pick the treated area, as even clean hands can cause infection by introducing dirt and germs on the skin which might create scar tissue, and picking the scabs can take away the colour from the treated area, leaving a patchy final result. Any patchy areas can easily be corrected at a later appointment, however, if the scab gets picked and comes off too soon it will expose the skin and infection can occur. It's also advisable to keep the area completely dry for a couple of days after your treatment.

Ease Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all get older, this is just a simple fact of life, however, there are some people who unfortunately feel they look older than their years. Wrinkles are mostly associated with older people but they can appear at any age and it's not unusual for those in their late twenties or early thirties to seek wrinkle treatments.

Botox is not just for treating the wrinkles of older people, lots of younger clients are now having this anti-ageing treatment as a prevention method. If you stop the beginnings of a wrinkle and keep having maintenance treatments, you'll stay looking more youthful for longer. We don't have to age gracefully anymore as botox injections are an affordable treatment used by both women and men.

The face is the place where age shows up first, and wrinkle fillers are ideal for those who want a youthful appearance without having to do anything too drastic. Botox is non-invasive and can give an incredibly natural result, dramatically reducing wrinkles and giving a smoother, less tired-looking face. Botox cosmetic treatments can help a range of problem areas.

The upper face is the main area of Botox treatments:

• Crow's-feet at the sides of the eyes.
• Frown lines.
• Forehead creases.

One of the most common things people want to treat are dynamic wrinkles which result through muscle contractions. The frown lines across the forehead, and the two vertical lines between the eyebrows form through the repeated movement of facial muscles when we express ourselves.

Eventually as the skin ages, its elastic fibres fracture, the collagen in the skin breaks down and the skin takes longer to recover from being creased. The lines begin to bed into the skin and no longer disappear, even when the face is at rest. The muscles on the forehead cause the skin to crinkle up when we are concentrating, looking into the sun, speaking expressively and many other things that happen daily. In fact, every time you scowl, squint, glare or grimace, these lines are slowing starting to develop.

Botox treatments have no recovery period, so you will be able to return to your regular activities immediately, with no discomfort. Any pain associated with botox injections is minimal but having a topical anaesthetic cream applied before treatment can help with any potential discomfort. Botox treatment takes just minutes to perform and the results last anywhere from 3-6 months.

Refresh Your Skin With Treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't stop our face from getting older, but it's hard when you can see the noticeable signs of ageing such as fine wrinkles around the eyes or lips, or maybe pigmentation spots when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Sometimes though, there are ordinary things apart from ageing, which over time can take a toll on the skin and add years to our face. 

Acne marks and scarring ruin the texture of the skin and leave it looking uneven, so try hard not to pick at your spots. Given the amount of germs and bacteria that's hidden on the hands and under your nails, it's just not sanitary to touch and pick at your spots, it can cause breakouts and make existing spots even worse. Picking at your spots, ingrown hairs, blackheads or anything else on your face can have permanent effects and even leave scars.

Cleanse - Gently wash your face morning and night, avoiding cleansers with a high alcohol content and drying agents.
Exfoliate -  The complexion becomes dull and uneven as dead cells accumulate, so make sure you exfoliate your skin weekly. Using a gentle facial scrub which will help to keep the skin smooth, healthy and fresh.
Moisturise -  Apply moisturiser over your face twice a day, not forgetting to treat the neck and the back of your hands. Dry skin loses its elasticity and this is when wrinkles begin to form.

Exposure to the sun is the number one reason for skin ageing, so always wear sun screen. Over time too much excess sun damages the skin, causing wrinkles, loss of elasticity, visible blood vessels, hyper-pigmentation and even skin cancer. Even if you aren't sunbathing you should still protect your skin by wearing sun cream every day.

Not doing so can result in:

• Losing elasticity in the skin
• Translucent, thinner looking skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dry, rough skin
• Liver spots on the face, back of hands, arms and body
• Broken veins and capillaries
• Skin cancer

It's said that a third of women go to bed, at least twice a week, without removing their make-up. Stale make-up can clog up the pores making them look larger, resulting in a decline in the collagen and making the skin less supple. Leaving make-up on through the night can result in an overgrowth of bacteria on your face, it can cause acne and give the skin a dull, unhealthy look.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can soften the effects ageing with non-surgical cosmetic procedures. There are many cosmetic procedures for the face, such as botox, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, lip augmentation and fillers to plump up your lips, laser treatment to remove blemishes, moles and thread veins and chemical peels and microdermabrasion to smooth the surface of your skin.

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.

Are You Ready For Vaser Treatment? - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all have body issues and at one time or another we'll all feel insecure about the way our body looks. All around us, there are images of men and women who seemingly have no body imperfections, and although we know that these images get enhanced and airbrushed, it doesn't stop us feeling dissatisfied with our own imperfect body.

Sometimes, we wish our body was more streamlined, a bit sleeker and toned, and one way to do this, is with vaser lipo. Vaser treatment is a great way to slim and contour your body exactly the way you want and it's a gentler, more precise method than traditional liposuction, making it an ideal way to achieve your desired shape, but are you a good candidate for this procedure?

Candidates for vaser lipo treatment must consider:

*  Having relatively good health before your vaser lipo is important, and also that you don't have any illnesses or medical conditions that might stop you from healing properly after the treatment. However, if you do suffer from a particular health condition, your doctor will talk to you about your suitability for vaser lipo.

*  If you're within 30% of your goal weight, then vaser lipo is an ideal treatment for you. More than 30% then you should probably consider a different weight loss method, as vaser lipo isn't a weight reduction procedure, it's a body contouring procedure.

*  Having firm skin with good elasticity will help you to achieve the look you want, once your procedure is over. Usually, visible skin retraction takes between 2-4 weeks and gets even better over the 4-6 months following the procedure.

*  To achieve the best results, many experienced vaser doctors recommend that you start to tone your muscles before you have a procedure, as it helps if you already have good muscle tone before your vaser treatment.

Vaser is a minimally invasive treatment and is a great way to target problem areas and sculpt the body. When faddy diets and hours exercising at the gym just won't get rid of that stubborn tummy, or give you a sleek silhouette, then it might be time to consider vaser lipo.

People choosing vaser lipo treatments should have a realistic idea of what results they want to get. At a consultation the vaser doctor will look at your fat distribution, skin, muscle tone and overall body shape, and will talk you through the procedure. The doctor will give you honest advice on what is, and what isn't achievable. So if you're in good health, have reasonable expectations about the results, if you're within 30% of your ideal weight and have firm skin with good elasticity, then you are a good candidate for vaser lipo treatment.

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.
