Skin Tightening with Radiage

Hi all ,

Roberta here again , giving you an update on skin tightening, which is called Radiage.
Back in June of last year , we launched the treatment called Radiage that tightens your skin. We were getting ok results , but wanted that bit more.........

So we went on further training to London, where we met alot of Radiage specialists and learnt better techniques and skills, giving amazing results! Our clients are already reporting back to me saying their skin feels and looks tighter and smoother. What a fab result!!!

If you require anymore information , please contact Roberta

PRP Update

Its now been five months since we introduced PRP to our clients, with very favourable results.
As PRP works by stimulating the regeneration and recovery of aging facial tissue, you have to wait for up to three months to allow the stem cells to attach and start to work.

PRP ( platelet rich plasma ) is the only treatment that can be used safely on the under eye wrinkles. We have been trialing this now for a while and the results are really very visible.
Clients are reporting back subtle improvements in wrinkle reduction, better skin texture and appearance and open pores reducing dramatically.

Two treatments are recommended 6 weeks apart with results lasting up to 18 months, and the beauty of this treatment is that you are using your own blood so it is completely non-toxic and hypoallergenic.

Please contact Mags if you would like any more information.

Vaser Hi-Def...' Bueno' to Bogota Feb 2010

Escaping the dire British weather, Dr Bassi and myself jetted off to Bogota in search of the latest techniques which would take Vaser Liposuction to the next level.

This new skill would make Dr Bassi one of the handful in the country to be Vaser Hi-Def trained. We and 10 other doctors from around the world were descending upon the genius behind Vaser Hi-Def, Dr Alfredo Hoyos and his esteemed world renowned Vaser Hi-Def trainers, Dr John Millard and Dr David Broadway.


South America being the home of cosmetic surgery, we soon discovered that from late teens, most people were on the route to self improvement! Every young person had perfect breasts and any excess flesh lead them to the operating table to achieve bodily perfection.



After touring the beautiful city of Bogota it was soon off to work, a day of lectures was followed by five days in the operating theatres. Both male and female patients were given the Hoyos magic, he laughed and joked his way through procedures making it look as easy as washing dishes! The end results were truly amazing, men looked like they had been working on their six packs all their lives, women looked like they had stepped off beach babe calendars, everything perfectly honed and chiselled!


I being quite a cynic was totally in awe of this procedure and the talent behind the team. What a shame we were there for such a short time, i'd have jumped on the table and begged them to throw every available treatment at me!

The evenings were spent soaking up the Colombian culture, and dining in fine restaurants under the starry moonlit sky. We return from a fabulous, enjoyable, informative and educational trip ready to take our place as a fully officially trained Vaser Hi-Def centre.

What Selston Cosmetic Clinic could do for you with Vaser Liposuction

Having an international client base, it is always nice to see how people have got on after 6 months of treatment. Vaser liposuction is one of our most popular treatments as it achieves what surgery can't - ridding your body of the last stubborn pockets of fat.

One of our clients from Dubai flew in and had various treatments and she has now emailed her results approx 6-8 months after treatment. I thought I would like to share these with you.

I think you will agree she looks absolutely fabulous

Breaking news…. Vaser Hi Def has arrived at Selston Cosmetic Clinic!

Vaser Hi Def takes Vaser Lipo to the next level.



Vaser Hi Def liposculpture marries art to Vaser liposuction. A simple analogy would be the Vaser Hi Def tools become chisels and the body is a block of marble, the Vaser Hi Def trained physician becomes a sculptor…and the body becomes slowly transformed into an athletic work of art which is pleasing to the eye and meets the expectations of modern society…of what is beautiful and sexy.
Selston Cosmetic Clinic at present is the only clinic outside London offering Vaser Hi Def liposuction. Our clinic is one of the handful offering this bespoke liposculpture procedure in the U.K.

Dr Bassi felt that having performed over 300 Vaser Lipo procedures and being a Vaser Lipo national trainer, that it was time to take his Vaser Lipo skills to the next level.

Dr Bassi and Mags flew out to Colombia, South America, where he had extensive training on the Vaser HI Def procedure by world renowned Hi Def surgeons Dr Alfredo Hoyos, Dr John Millard and Dr David Broadway.

Dr Hoyos pioneered and developed Vaser Hi Def and has performed well over 1000 procedures. Dr Millard and Dr Broadway took the procedure to the USA where it has caused a sensation in their media. Each Surgeon gave hands on training to Dr Bassi and brought their mastery of the procedure onto the table, giving him an excellent perceptive on how three experts executed Vaser Hi Def liposculpting.


In March 2008 , we were one of the first five clinics in the UK to offer Vaser Lipo and predicted that Vaser Lipo would become the gold standard in walk in - walk out liposuction in the UK…at that time smart lipo and laser lipo were all the rage. Now by Feb 2010 this is the case…well over 50 clinics in the UK are offering this procedure and the numbers are slowly increasing. We now feel that despite only a handful of doctors at present being certified in the UK to perform Vaser HI DEF, this next generation liposuction procedure will become the next gold standard.

Vaser Hi Def is ideally suited suited for mild to moderate overweight people, who have a BMI less than 30 and have good muscle tone. The procedure is tailor made for our clients who work out - but are unable to be obsessive about this and cannot live on a strict diet all of the time…this probably rings true for most of us part time gym bunnies!

So ladies if you want a more sexy, feminine body or gentleman a more athletic torso, we are talking six packs, then Vaser Hi Def is the answer for you.











Please contact Mags or Dr Bassi at Selston Cosmetic Clinic for further information regarding Vaser Hi Def.

Questions Regarding Hair Transplant Surgery

Below is a question we recieved from a gentleman whom had received hair transplant surgery but had reservations about the treatment receieved and the results gained so he asked our resident specialist Dr Reddy for his opinions.

“I have had a 2300 graft strip surgery 3 months ago to the front and temple region. I am not happy with the density and also the direction of the hair. I have heard that with the specialised implanter used in H+ technique, you can achieve better density and also better direction than traditional strip procedures.


My question is can the density and direction be improved and if yes, how soon can this be done after my first surgery?”

“Thanks for your question. Before I start answering, I would like to reassure you that 3m is still very early days to determine the success or failure of your strip surgery. I do not belong to the school of thought that FUE is better than strip surgery. My belief is that both surgeries should complement each other.

Moving on, yes we use a specialised implanter pen that helps in achieving better control over the angle and direction, whilst protecting the vital structures of the graft.

With regards to density, a couple of factors influence the density. Logic says that to achieve the desired coverage a surgeon should aim to achieve 50% of the density of the donor area. Any density beyond that would not provide any additional benefits.

So the answer to your question is that we can achieve the desired density in one procedure with the H+ technique.

With regards to answering your second question, I always advise my patients to wait at least 6 months before contemplating the second procedure.

The reasoning behind this is that you have to wait this long at least before you could assess the success of the first surgery and hence you can plan your second surgery better, without disturbing the healing process.”

Scouring the world to bring you breakthrough cosmetic treatments... PRP

We headed off to the Emerald Isles, to the Otto clinic for a few days to assess and train in the revolutionary, new cosmetic treatment PRP (platelet rich plasma) .

They have been using this treatment for over two years with fabulous results.

Dr Bassi was able to see the clinics results, meet treated clients and brought up to speed in the techniques they were using for this procedure. At the end of the training he even performed under eye treatment to the head trainer of the clinic.

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

For more information regarding PRP see our main web page.
