THE MOST COMMON BEAUTY
PROBLEMS & TREATMENTS AVAILABLE
The team at Heswall and West Kirby based SDS Rejuvenate give us the
lowdown on the best treatments for the most common beauty complaints.
THE PROBLEM: ACNE SCARS & STRETCHMARKS THE PROBLEM: JOWLS AND TURKEY NECK
THE SOLUTION: Micro Needling
The skin is prepped with a cocktail of topical serums, including
hyaluronic acid, amino acids, micro nutrients and tissue growth factors.
The serums are then driven deeper by an electronic device, known
as M-Pen, by Mesoestetic. This stimulates fibroblasts and other cells
involved in skin healing and regeneration to plump the skin, reducing
scars and fine lines.
PAIN FACTOR: A bearable scratchy sensation; it's more painful on
thin skin and tickles around the nose.
RESULTS: Expect some redness after the treatment which settles within
24 hours. Results take a few months to shine through. Scars are not
completely eradicated but the treatment tones down colour and raised
areas. Different cocktails or serums can be mixed for plumping out lines
and wrinkles on the face or any part of the body where skin tone needs
work. Course of treatment recommended. THE SOLUTION: 3D-HIFU
Non-surgical skin lifting has become one of the most sought after
treatments and HIFU is the latest non-surgical technology to excel in
this area in just one single session! It targets individually; brow lifting,
jowl line lifting, nasolabial fold reduction, periorbital wrinkle reduction
and overall skin tightening and rejuvenation.
PAIN FACTOR: Bearable! You will experience a slight vibration
and warmth whilst the energy is being penetrated. It can feel a little
uncomfortable around the jawline.
RESULTS: Generally a noticeable improvement in your facial
contouring, fine line and wrinkles within a 4 week period and skin
tightening and contouring can take up to 3 months to see a difference.
THE PROBLEM: A DROOPING FACE
THE SOLUTION: 8 point face lift
A highly specialised technique performed only by doctors, that uses
dermal filler injections to lift the face: sculpting jowls, lifting sagging
cheeks and opening up droopy eyes. With a super fine needle, the filler
is strategically injected at eight points including along the line of the
cheekbone, the jawline and the corners of the mouth. Ideal for those in
their 40’s or early 50’s who want instant results. The 8 point lift uses the
latest Juvederm hyaluronic acid gels such as Volbella, Volift and Voluma.
These are injected between the skin and bone to produce a soft elegant
result.
PAIN FACTOR: Totally bearable, Juvéderm contains a built in
anaesthetic called Lidocaine that takes the sting out of the injection.
Very occasionally people bruise but otherwise there is no downtime.
RESULTS: An instant wow factor, everything is lifted and the skin does
not look vacuum packed and pulled! Results should last for 18 to 24
months.
THE PROBLEM: HOODED OR SAGGY EYELIDS
THE SOLUTION: PLEXR Plasma treatment
Plasma treatment is performed only by doctors and consists of multiple
shots spaced closely together fired by a hand held device called a PLEXR.
The treatment often referred to as “soft surgery” can be used in many
circumstances but the most commonly recognised treatment is that of
the upper eye lids. This procedure using plasma replaces the need for a
surgical blepharoplasty and can be used not only on the upper eye lid,
but also the lower eye lid. As there is no heat transferred to surrounding
tissues there is no damage to normal skin. PLEXR uses plasma so there
is no electric current which can cause problems for some patients.
PAIN FACTOR: Virtually painless. A local anaesthetic cream is applied
for 30 minutes prior to the treatment to minimise any discomfort. You
may experience a sensation of heat in some sensitive areas with a post
treatment tingling sensation.
RESULTS: Following treatment, tiny dark brown/black spots are
evident. The area can be tender for a few days with some experiencing
post treatment swelling. Scabs can develop and it is important to keep
the area clean, dry and protected. The results are seen after 3 weeks and
results are similar to surgery. 3 treatments may be required.
