Facial & Hair Rejuvenation

What is your options for improving and get rid of nasolabial folds?

Nasolabial folds evolve as we age, as a result of bone loss in our body. This ends up by giving our face a more deepening look. As our bones shrink, particularly in the mid-facial region ,our skin tissue sinks into our face with it and we are unable to keep a plump and young look anymore!

Loss of fat from various fat compartments (cheeks, temples, lips and chin) is as well a component of face ageing to take in consideration, accentuated as well by the loss of elasticity of the soft tissues.

As the area of our face moves downwards, they end up creating a fold called Nasolabial Folds or smile lines.

MD Codes, the secret to getting rid of your mouth lines with a natural result.

Face sculpting with the MD codes is a series of key injections points for dermal fillers to elevate, rejuvenate and enhance. The aim is to deliver a natural look to my patients!

Instead of treating the problem area, this technique focuses on treating the cause of the issue and effectively will get rid of your mouth lines.

With a traditional approach to dermal filler treatment, fillers are injected directly in the concerned area that the patient is pointing out, like, for example, the nasolabial folds. At times, the added weight and volume simply results in more sagging and drooping, resulting in an unnatural appearance. Therefore, the cause of the ageing process is not being addressed.

With the MD codes technique, after analysis, the filler will maybe not be injected into the concerned area but into the source of the issue. Being treated holistically will get a much more effective result. Small volumes of dermal fillers injected at precise points will create a natural-looking lift and a rejuvenated look. The MD codes before and after the results have shown excellent results.

This method of treatment is far safer and superior to any other way to get rid of your mouth lines. So don’t wait and book a consultation to get a bespoke analysis and find out what treatment is suitable for you!

• Preventive Botox to look our best at work
  • Looking fresh and vital is not just a matter of vanity but can also be a  professional survival.
  • As we grow older, we need to be the best versions of ourselves. And this is why we do several things to keep us ahead of the game, like go to the gym, watch our diet, whiten our teeth, and have Botox done regularly!
  • It is normal to be apprehensive in the job industry, even though age discrimination is against the law. But even younger individuals in their 20s and 30s are preventing the ageing skin process by having preventive Botox!

Have you ever wondered what a non-surgical brow lift is? An Eyebrow Lift is an advanced non- surgical brow lift cosmetic procedure that raises the position of the eyebrow. A gently arched eyebrow conveys an attractive, youthful, happy, and confident individual. It is usually a more feminine aspect of beauty.

This is where Botox comes in. Treatments can be performed with BOTOX® to achieve a perfect eyebrow lift. Depending on the desired shape of the brow, small doses of botulinum toxin can be injected to elevate and promote a lateral eyebrow, lifting or raising the intermediate or medial part of the eyebrow.

The best result is achieved when treating the eyebrow lift together with the other areas of the upper face. In the case of a sagging brow, the use of dermal filler or threads could be necessary to get a complete and efficient result.

If you wish to find out more about this Botox treatment, please call the practice, my assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

Beyond Botox – the future of anti-ageing

Where are we with anti-Ageing?
When we think about anti-ageing techniques, we quickly imagine sunscreens or face creams or even our diet.  Some might already know about procedures such as Mesotherapy, Botox, and PRP.

Beyond Botox, The “second skin.”
But the last years have seen science advance at unimaginable levels. The development of lab researches has landed us with items like ‘the second skin’ that can erase wrinkles for specific periods.

Sounds weird, right? Hold on; you will love this! This ‘second skin’ is a silicone-based polymer film, which was developed at MIT university in the USA, and that is said to cover wrinkles and eye bags for 24 hours. It makes the skin look smoother and firmer as if you have undergone a Mesotherapy session!

One of the first things people notice about us is our aesthetics, specially our hair!

With the years, hair has meant different things to society. Looking back, it once indicated social status as well as religious and social statements about people in society.

Hair is a conversation starter and is usually used as a pre-judgement factor on someone’s personality and attributes, depending on the amount of hair products you use or don’t use in your hair care routine. People also make pre-judgements on your health, wealth and sexual desirability depending on how your hair looks like.

For example, long and healthy hair which is smooth and silky is marketed on TV adverts, making hair and haircare an important factor that is linked to sexuality! On the other hand, crazy hair styles are often viewed as passing on a message of non-conformity or of a big personality (think Lady Gaga)!

So, giving the importance of our beautiful and fragile hair, this month’s focus will be all about how to get healthy hair to shine under the sun! We will mainly focus on treatments to help stop hair thinning, what is alopecia, how to deal with grey hair.

And finally, we will also get inspiration from our stars for the best hair style to wear this summer and chose from the catwalk the best swimsuits of the summer to look our best while walking along the beach! All this whilst showing off our beautiful and shiny hair!

How to get healthy hair is always a hard question to determine, once we have passed superficial attempts used from drugstore pharmacies. It is why I recommend Hair Mesotherapy as an effective hair regrowth treatment for people suffering from alopecia and hair loss.

Mesotherapy, a non-surgical technique, consists of microinjections in your target tissues to stimulate the mesoderm, which relieves a wide variety of symptoms and conditions. Mesotherapy brings around the hair follicle a broad range of vitamins, minerals, nucleic acids, amino acids, and co-enzymes for hair regrowth, so the hair follicle can grow and survive through correct blood circulation. The excess of DHT ( Dy dihydrotestosterone) is neutralised.

For a painless procedure, suitable analgesia is applied, depending on the area to be treated and the length of your hair. The use of the  U225 Mesogun allows the rapid placement of plasma precisely into the scalp while reducing the discomfort of the procedure significantly.

Alopecia is a hair loss condition and is a terminology that refers to different forms of hair loss, both scarring, and non-scarring ones.

Alopecia areata is a non-scarring skin disease, as the hair follicle bulb is intact, and thus alopecia symptoms present abnormal pathophysiology where localized areas of hair loss are usually presented as patches.

With summer at our doorsteps, there are increasingly high chances that we don’t take care of our hair the way we should. For that reason, make sure you follow these useful haircare tips on how to get them  healthy !

1. Avoid the risks of Sun damage to your hair: 

It is important to wear a protection hat whilst under the sun, as too much sun can cause your hair to dry and create splits very easily. Blondes and people with grey hairs are also more vulnerable and that’s why you should also opt got hair care products with sunscreen in them!

Baldness Cause
Male baldness is not only due to age but multiple factors that are out of our control sometimes. It is usually characterised by hair decreasing from the lateral sides of the forehead and/or a thinning crown. These increase over time, and eventually, it can be too late to reverse these results. These are often referred to as the pattern of androgenic alopecia.

Hair loss solution with PRP
A hair loss remedy, Plasma therapy (PRP) can be useful in treating I-IV androgenic alopecia if there are still miniaturised hair follicles. This treatment won’t active, dormant follicles, but it has shown that up to 70% of patients do experience extra hair growth from active follicles.

Women are also among those that suffer from thinning hair, especially when they reach the age of 60. Loss patterns are usually different to men, although I have personally treated women with hair loss patterns more similar to men. Furthermore, female hair loss is more defused, and hence they do not have the same options for surgical transplant and medication. It is where PRP treatment kicks in, as it is a safe and effective alternate solution.

It has never been easier or faster to use techniques for hair growth. It comes to place, especially with the LaserBand 82, that delivers therapeutic light energy directly to your hair follicles through 82 medical-grade lasers (No LEDs)! 

These unique combs are designed to incorporate patented hair parting teeth, which part your hair during thin hair treatment and allows optimal laser light delivery to your follicles. It, therefore, provides a highly useful and effective treatment for hair loss and thinning hair. The laser light penetrates soft tissue and increases the action of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

This portable device is convenient for home use or while traveling, while still being fast and effective in its use. The treatment takes as little as 90 seconds and should be used three days a week.

There is something so fascinating about our eyes.

They convey how we feel, how we think, and dive deep into our state of mind.  As William Shakespeare famously said, the eyes are the window to the soul!

However, it is easy to suffer from aesthetic conditions around our eyes and especially our lower eyelid lines. So, this month’s focus will be all about how to make our eyes beautiful and how to get clear, bright eyes through many tips, including Botox around the eyes.

We will be exploring some of the causes of puffy eyes and dark circles and how we can find simple solutions to take care of these. We will also travel to Dubai to find some inspiration on eyebrows and how to have a killer look! And finally, stay tuned for our tips on skin regimen to get the beautiful eyes that you deserve!

Botox for crow’s feet has become an effective solution for softening wrinkles around the eyes. Still, it is a delicate area that needs to be approached carefully as not all patients are eligible for it.

The best time to use Botox for crow’s feet to solve wrinkles around the eyes is when wrinkles are still very thin so that the process can be as efficient as possible.

Injection Botox in this area needs to be done carefully to avoid touching other muscles of the face, which can sometimes cause sagging cheeks. Also, caution needs to be taken to make sure there is no change in the shape of the eyes after the injection has been done.

When wrinkles are more pronounced, I use a combination of Botox and derma fillers. I never inject Botox for around the eyes without addressing the forehead too. My 3 Botox areas focus on including the other muscles, which creates a better end result in synergy with a brow lift effect.

What is mesotherapy, and how can it remedy moderate dark circles under your eyes?

First, it is essential to understand why we have dark circles under the eyes. This can be due to various reasons, such as; a bad diet, smoking, allergic reactions, irregular sleep cycle, or even genetic predisposition. Dark circles usually don’t reflect internal organ problems. Still, ligaments that hold the fatty tissue under our eyes start to show when fat tissue and bone in this area disappear progressively.  The appearance of bags and dark circles under our eyes can also be due to a bad circulation of the periorbital region, which can result in fluid retention and under-eye circles.

One of the leading beauty tips for anti-ageing lies in the preservation of the periorbital region.

That is the most sensitive skin around your eyes that will show signs of ageing quicker than other areas. It is 1.5 millimeters thinner than the average thickness of the rest of your facial skin, making it more vulnerable to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

This is usually assisted by the fact that we have fewer oil glands in the periorbital region that the rest of our face, creating a tired look and a thin, fragile skin. It is not a hopeless case, however, and we can prevent and remedy aesthetic eye issues.

By understanding the problems, we can find solutions to cater for every particular case. Solutions range from dermal fillers, mesotherapy, Botox to prevent crow’s feet, and even the best sunscreen to protect your face! So don’t be demotivated, we are in this together!

Mesotherapy treatment to improve skin quality involves multiple microinjections of a vitamin & hyaluronic acid cocktail under the skin’s surface. It stimulates collagen production and improves the elasticity, pigmentation, and skin’s texture.

It replaces the essential vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid that is lost with lifestyle factors and ageing

I often recommend mesotherapy treatment for those who wish to improve their skin quality and skin’s radiance, firmness, and vitality.

It is an excellent way to achieve the subtle beauty preservation for which we all strive.

It is the secret for giving a natural, beautiful, glowing skin.

What is ‘Dracula Therapy’ (PRP)? How does it work?

‘Dracula Therapy’ or ‘Vampire Facelift Treatment’ involves re-injecting the platelets rich plasma (PRP) to help to rejuvenate your skin for a more radiant complexion and remove face wrinkles for a more youthful look.

The procedure will require me to draw a small amount of blood from your arm and then spin it in a centrifuge until the red blood cells separate from the platelets and plasma. I will then inject the platelet-rich plasma back into your troublesome areas to smooth and tighten your skin.

The Dracula treatment is different from fillers but also works in a way that helps you achieve a wrinkle-free complexion. It generates type 1 collagen, which will help to create more blood cells and help them function. It is what provides the skin with a filling effect that looks natural.

Why get Dracula treatment (PRP)?

People choose PRP because it is natural and autologous (obtained from the same individual), and you can also mix it in with other facial skincare treatments. You can mix it with hyaluronic acid and different types of procedures to have a long-lasting effect with the least side-effects.

• The procedure should not take longer than 90 minutes with little to no downtime.
• Duration of the results: 1-2 years (1-3 courses recommended from 1 month apart).
• Results start to be visible within a few weeks.
