Cannula versus needle to treat tear trough

The tear trough is usually referred to as the dark shadow that lays beneath your eyes. An increasingly popular area that is treated with anti-ageing treatments, patients often worry that injecting will cause pain and bruising.

However, here at TheLondonFacialCare, I use a cannula to inject the eye area rather than a needle. Cannula’s are not sharp like needles, making it the perfect tool to inject this sensitive area of the skin.

By using the cannula, bruising is kept to a minimum, which makes it more convenient, as several of my patients want to resume their work activities and other schedules straight afterward.

It causes less pain than needles and requires fewer entry points than needles because they are longer. It provides a safer procedure as there is less risk of perforating a blood vessel.

Furthermore, I use the cannula to inject the tear trough as it is the safest method for injection, minimising your recovery time. However, I also use needles on specific filler treatments in there areas as they could provide better results in some instances.

If you wish to find out more about the tear trough procedure, please call the practice. My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

Do you get wrinkles above your lips?

Do you feel like your upper lip has flattened over the years?

Then you are not the only one! Our upper lip is a key indicator of ageing signs, which further draws on negative factors such as smoking, excessive sun exposure as well as genetics.

Here at TheLondonFacialCare, I use a combination of PDO threads and hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers or PRP (platelet rich plasma) to fix smoker’s lines above the lips, making it the most efficient non-surgical technique for rejuvenation.

PDO threads are known for the use of collagen type 1 and 3 regeneration, and it has been an approved method for it as well as lipolysis and neo-vascularisation!

The Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an excellent complimentary treatment with the PDO threads to get rid of wrinkles above your lips. It allows the neo-vascularisation and collagen regeneration to happen through a growth factor release, which in turn gives the treatments the best possible results. It is injected when we insert the barbed threads and is a great non-surgical alternative!

PDO threads have been around for a while, but the trend has really picked up in recent years due to the fact that practitioners have perfected the way to use them and apply them on patients according to their own, specific needs.

PDO threads are a great skin rejuvenation option, as there are almost never allergic reactions and long term complications after its use. The effects of the procedure last up to 8 months, before it is replaced with fibrosis.

There are many things we can solve with PDO threads. Treatments range from treating wrinkles, tightening the skin, contouring our face or even reducing a double chin, among many others. However, patients always have higher expectations of PDO threads, and they should understand that it is not a replacement for a real surgical lift. But an amazing alternative to be used when opting for non-surgical treatments.

But have you ever wondered how PDO threads really work and which is the best treatment for you?

What are PDO threads and barbed PDO threads?

PDO threads are one of the 21st-century anti-ageing miracle techniques, which tighten your skin and improve the minor wrinkles you picked up in the process of ageing!

Monofilament PDO threads are like a scaffold to the face, and it thus produces natural collagen in your skin, which makes it look younger, brighter, and more elastic.

Barbed PDO threads (COG), on the other hand, are used to fix sagging areas of the skin and can be used in conjunction with monofilament PDO threads.

Many use barbed PDO threads to achieve a lifting effect, but that is not always possible when the skin has caused to sag too much.

How to get rid of wrinkles above your lips ?

Do you feel like your upper lip has flattened over the years? Have you lost that cupid bow that gave a natural form to your lips?

You are not the only one! Our upper lip is a key indicator of ageing signs, which further draws on negative factors such as smoking, excessive sun exposure as well as genetics.

However, you can get rid of wrinkles above your lips, just as there are techniques for lip augmentation!

Cannula needles. Are they better to use for lip fillers?

How many of us have had lip augmentation and felt that the pain and bruising were not worth all the effort? With the traditional lip augmentation techniques using needles, it is often the case that patients are confronted with an increased risk of bruising and trauma, making the experience unbearable!

Here at TheLondonFacialCare, I use Cannula needles for over 95% of facial injections, making the process smoother and much more comfortable than the traditional way.

Apart from facial treatments that include cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lips, I also use the Cannula needles to inject your beautiful lips!

Not only does this treatment rejuvenate your face and body, but it is also delivered with the minimum discomfort and bruising possible. My patients can resume their activities straight after application, some going out for drinks or even going back to work straight after!

When my patients ask me why Cannula needles are a better injection technique for the lips, I explain that the process is smoother since you fill the upper and lower lip by poking a needle on each side, which pushes the vessels out of the way! It happens because Cannula needles have round tips, which minimise bruising and discomfort during penetration!

If you wish to find out more about this technique and lip augmentation, please call the practice! My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

Best lip filler treatment in London to achieve voluptuous and natural lips

Our lips are the most sensual and attractive part of our bodies, making our face look irresistibly good if they are defined and pronounced in a natural manner!

The biggest challenge, however, is to achieve natural lips after lip augmentation. After the trend had picked up, lip augmentation is generally a fine line between fake and natural.

One can tell the difference between fake and natural when the upper lip is fuller than the lower lip. The lower lip should always be fuller than the upper, otherwise you might have a permanent pout that screams ‘fake’ from miles away!

Do Botox and Fillers actually make you look older ?

Nowadays, It is increasingly the case that our younger generation is exposed to beauty standards from magazines and celebrities, that promote the perfect ‘flawless’ look!

As a result, we quickly want the perfect lips, the perfect cheekbones, the perfect brows, the perfect everything!

As a practitioner, I have seen the effects of Botox and fillers used in large amounts at younger ages, and can see that this does not have a ‘natural’ impacted look and make them look older by the time we are forty.

Careless use of these chemicals can have a different effect on the long term, which is why each case needs to be assessed carefully and slowly, to make sure results are efficient both short term and long term.

Here at The London Facial Care, I encourage my younger patients to adopt a moderate use of botox and fillers as well as the Obagi 360 system, a skincare regimen that helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines at an early stage. Obagi 360 restores moisture to your skin, and restores a refreshing complexion!

If you are interested to know more about Botox and fillers and which skin care regimen suits you the best, do not hesitate, please call the practice! My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me !

Facial wrinkles appear as the result of continuous contractions of the face muscles, which in time results in an aged appearance, filled with folds in the skin as well as a lack of smoothness in your look.

These facial wrinkles can appear in a range of areas and a variety of situations. You can produce sleep lines in your sleep; you can also develop facial wrinkles by frowning a lot, which will be seen in your forehead or frown lines as well as your crow’s feet.

Luckily, Botox is a fantastic product that can help prevent the formation of facial wrinkles in these areas by neutralising the muscle’s repeated contractions, avoiding your skin to fold, and in turn, keeping it smooth and looking young. Botox will, on the contrary useless for sleeping wrinkles, and the use of fillers will be necessary instead.

It is why, in some instances, I advise patients to use Botox in their 20’s as a preventive measure to push back the process of ageing so that they can look younger for longer!

If you wish to find out more about those procedures and concerns about wrinkles appearing on your face, please call the practice! My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

Is it okay for 20 Years olds to get Botox injections?

With a fast-evolving society, standards of beauty and perfection have changed over time to become more rigorous and less tolerating of flaws and imperfections. Photos shopped images of celebrities that have the ‘perfect look’ are at the forefront of magazines, which has made the new generation of youngsters even keener to adopt a flawless look! Taboos around the best time to focus on using non-surgical treatments to improve our looks have stopped us from starting Botox at a young age.

But is it necessary to wait?

As the years go by, it is increasingly apparent that our face is not the only give away our age!

However, it is never too late and here at the London Facial Care, and Dr Fern invites you to enjoy a special offer!

A big part of a women’s confidence lies in how comfortable she is with her body. And the décolletage is a big part of a woman’s confidence and sensuality!

However, it is more common than usual that women hide their décolleté because they have been affected by cumulative sun damage and wrinkles, as well as other factors. It affects the way they dress, drawing back from revealing tops and low cut dresses.  

Can Botox get rid of my neck bands?

First, we need to understand why our neck bands appear in the first place. The answer is, we usually lose fat as we grow older. It can result in issues such as sunken eyes or deepened cheekbones, as we have seen in previous editions.

However, it is more specific when it comes to our neck bands. The keyword here is platysma! Platysma is the muscle that covers the front of our necks, which, as we grow older, sometimes extends beyond and above the surface of our skin.

How many of us avoid a plunging neckline because we are uncomfortable with our neck and décolletage? It may come as a surprise, but many of us do this!

It is due to years of bad exposure to chemicals that have given us a crepey neck and décolletage. Sun exposure, smoking, and UV damage are some of the causes, followed by a lack of care of the area in our youth.

Often enough, you see yourself spending endless amounts of money on the expensive neck and décolletage creams and serums, promised by ads and commercials to be the miracle you are waiting for. Most of us know that this does not work.

However, you should not give up because here at The London Facial Care; we have uncovered different techniques and products that have been tested and proved to work, restoring beautiful necklines and the perfect décolletage treatment.

Anti-ageing techniques have been developed for this area of the body so that there is no need to resort to surgical intervention! And that with careful application of sunblock and exfoliating on a regular basis will take you a long way!
