BOTOX


Botox, or Botulinum toxin treatment is a very well known and very popular cosmetic treatment. It is most often used to remove fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, between the brow, around the mouth and more.  Botox works by relaxing the muscles under the skin and when these muscles are relaxed, therefore not moving, the above skin is not moved/wrinkled.

There are many cosmetic uses for Botox which may be discussed with your clinician.

Laser Hair Removal


Laser hair removal is an incredibly popular treatment for use on anyone with hair that they want to see removed. This could be facial hair, neck, back, legs, toe hair and more. Many have reported good results from laser hair removal.

It is very popular with PCOS sufferers. PCOS, amongst other issues results in hirsutism for many women which is male pattern hair growth on the face, neck, chest and more, thanks to increased levels of testosterone.

Repeat visits or tops may be required for some individuals to maintain the results. How long between sessions will depend on the individual.

Please note that a patch test will be required in advance to assess suitability. The treatments work better the darker the hair.

Microneedling


Also referred to as collagen induction therapy is the processes of repeatedly inserting very small and sterile needles into the skin. This is known to boost collagen and may be used alongside other treatments such as radiofrequency. Popular thanks to its lack of down time post-procedure, microneedling, which has actually been around since the mid nineties is a well-known treatment for acne/acne scars amongst other complaints.

Dental Work


Alongside dental reconstruction which would usually take place at a dental surgery or a local hospital, teeth whitening is amongst one of the most common cosmetic dental procedures asked for.

It is important to ensure that whoever is undertaking your teeth whitening is fully trained and professionally registered. Teeth whitening is only safe when undertaken by a professional. Unregistered individuals and businesses offering this treatment could unwittingly cause irreversible damage to your teeth and gums. They will also not be sufficiently trained to offer effective aftercare in the event of something going wrong.

It is common for those undertaking teeth whitening to attend a number of sessions in order to achieve the end result they were hoping for. You will be given a before and after indication based on the colour and condition of your teeth at the time of booking.
 
Points to Remember

  • Teeth whitening is only safe (and legal) if undertaken by a trained professional.
  • Over the counter teeth whitening kits are unlikely to offer expected results and may be damaging.
  • Consider veneers before teeth whitening, if your dentist feels this is appropriate. Veneers are easier to look after and don’t permanently alter the teeth like teeth whitening can.
  • Be aware that how white the end result will be will depend on the condition of your teeth and how yellow/dark they are.
  • Consider aftercare and lifestyle changes you may wish to make in order to maintain the look of your teeth post-whitening.

Surgical tightening


This is possibly the procedure which offers the most dramatic results. Surgery does come with risks however, not least the down-time, risk of infection and more. Surgical tightening tends to be used for situations where the tightening required is extensive and where perhaps other treatments may not be as effective.

Ultrasound skin tightening


This treatment uses ultrasound waves/energy to increase the amount of collagen under the skin, therefore encouraging firmer, smoother skin. Again, a popular treatment thanks to the non-surgical aspect and the results on the face and neck especially.

Laser Skin Tightening


A non-surgical set of treatments which involve using lasers to heat the collagen found naturally under the skin in order to cause the treated skin to tighten. This is a popular treatment thanks to fast results and non-invasive procedures.

Radiofrequency treatments


For neck and jowls especially, Radiofrequency energy treatments (RF) has become very popular. RF energy heats up the under-skin collagen and stimulates additional natural production. As we know, collagen goes a long way to producing tighter and younger-looking skin.

What is Cosmetic Surgery?


Cosmetic surgery is a somewhat broad term which covers a number of procedures and associated treatments. There is also some confusion between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgery tends to be procedures that are reconstructive or involve the alteration of the body to provide medical benefits. Cosmetic surgery is more centered around changing or enhancing the appearance of the body for a number of reasons. There are many non-surgery cosmetic procedures available which are significantly less invasive then surgery.

Why Choose Cosmetic Procedures?



There are a number of reasons that individuals choose to undergo a cosmetic procedure, surgical or otherwise. These reasons may include

  • To boost confidence.
  • To enhance appearance.
  • To improve self-esteem.
  • To deal with appearance issues arising from medical issues i.e. PCOS.
  • To feel good.

The decision to undertake any type of cosmetic procedure is one that an individual will make for their own reasons. It is important to remember that cosmetic procedures do not fix underlying medical issues other than in very special occasions where a medical professional may suggest cosmetic treatments.

Cosmetic procedures may help with self-confidence and mood yet again if you have underlying issues with depression or similar please speak to your GP before making the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery.

Communicate clearly with the team that will be working with you so that your questions may be answered fully and so that you may have realistic expectations regarding results.


Choosing a Registered and Experienced Provider


A recent YouGov poll has shown that nearly 75% of Brits are concerned about having Botox treatments because of worries about whether the provider would be adequately trained. They are right to be cautious. The cosmetic surgery and cosmetic treatments market is a vast one and buying treatments from someone not licensed to do them is not only a poor use of your money, it could also potentially be dangerous. When researching treatments and treatment providers the IHAS (Independent Healthcare Advisory Service) advise all consumers to do their due diligence and report any concerns.

Not only are unlicensed and unqualified cosmetic treatments likely to be ineffective, they may may cause catastrophic and irreversible damage. In addition to this it is worth considering what would happen if you use a less than professional service in terms of after care and how your experienced may be managed in the event of something going wrong.


Helping Yourself


In order to stay fit, healthy and well the NHS suggests regular exercise, varying from low intensity to high intensity types depending on your age, ability and goals. Maintaining an active lifestyle goes a long way towards keeping you healthy.

Nutrition

It is important to look after your body from the inside out. Enjoying a nutritious balanced diet is important for the maintenance of your health. If you are concerned about your diet or have specific needs it may be worth considering an appointment with a registered dietician who will help you put together a diet plan based on your goals and your body’s needs.

Quit Smoking

The effects of smoking on the body have been well documented. Not only are you at a much higher risk of serious and life-altering disease, smoking also dulls the skin, increases the speed of aging and more, none of which you will aspire to if you are looking to enhance your physical appearance via cosmetic procedures.
If you have tried to quit smoking yet have struggled you may be interested to know that Public Health England, the organisation responsible for the Go Smoke Free bans are keen advocates for the use of e cigarettes. E cigarettes are, say PHE, at least 97% less harmful than tobacco cigarettes and the number of people who report e cigs as being the tool that helped them quit smoking for good has risen sharply in recent years.

Exercise

In order to stay fit, healthy and well the NHS suggests regular exercise, varying from low intensity to high intensity types depending on your age, ability and goals. Maintaining an active lifestyle goes a long way towards keeping you healthy.

Hydration

You may be fed up of hearing how important it is to maintain your hydration levels however the effect remains that it IS important. Dehydration causes both physical and mental negative effects and for skin care especially good hydration is a must.
Monitor how much you drink over the course of a day and the recommended guideline and then gradually increase how much you drink over time to reach optimum levels.
