Do you have bags under the eyes ? Have you tried to change your diet to improve it ?

How many of us have spent endless amounts of money on creams to treat bags under the eyes, with temporary effects that never seem to last? No matter how expensive these products are, they never seem to fully address this issue.

But have you ever thought of looking deeper into your diet to fix bags under the eyes? Many of us ignore that a healthy diet can go a long way in treating bags under the eyes and this is why I have compiled the best foodstuffs to have and to avoid, so you can have to get rid of puffiness under your eyes.

Every year, it is a real pleasure for me to go to Monaco and attend the most important aesthetic & anti-aging world congress ! I love being a student again and I love spending all those hours learning more, improving my techniques and meeting my colleagues!

This year’s AMWC congress will give a special recognition to Taiwan for its contribution to the advancement of global anti-aging medicine. Taiwan is one of the world’s most dynamic settings in aesthetic medicine and key leaders of Taiwan aesthetics will be attending.

I’m curious to find out and observe their anti-ageing techniques and expertise.I will keep you updated day by day, and let you know what made me feel enthusiastic! I will give you information about which procedures or new anti-ageing products I will come back with to carry on making my patients beautiful and ageless!

Also, patient safety will be the main theme this year, which is the number one priority that practitioners care about. All of it will be developed throughout the scientific sessions, panels, live demonstrations and problem-based debates. Can’t wait to be there!

It is nice to take care of our skin, getting the last tips for a perfect make up but the most attractive person, sometime are not the most beautiful one !

Have you heard about Haikus ? I’m passionate about it !

Haiku is a form of poetry, first made popular in Japan, which has become appreciated

around the world. In Japan these poems are valued for their simplicity, openness, depth and lightness.

with only 3 sentences, haikus are incredibly modern. They embrace  perfectly our modernity with a  fast and short communication style while on the same time it invites us practicing to pause in the moment and cultivate a sense of awareness, compassion and peace.

Haikus are an instant photography of a moment or an emotion.

Let’s celebrate spring coming with an Haiku from Saryū and an haiku from my personal creation:

“Without a brush

The willow paints the wind”

Saryū

“Le Printemps s’éveille

Mon corps aussi

Et tous mes sens avec”

So what are PDO threads, you ask?

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

Do you want to find out more about PDO threads and whether it is right for you?

Stay tuned to this month’s edition of the Dr Fern Mag and book your consultation to achieve a youthful face again!

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?

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 a great complimentary treatment with the PDO threads to get rid of wrinkles above your lips as it allows the neo-vascularisation and collagen regeneration happen through a growth factor release, which in turns gives the treatments the best possible results. It is injected when we insert the barbed threads and is a great non-surgical alternative!

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

We all know that with age, our skin loses its tightness and starts to sag as an inevitable part of human nature. We can delay this process by following a carefully designed skin regimen and by using anti-ageing techniques that are increasingly well designed to deal with this.

Get your lips a boost for Valentine’s !

As the years have gone by, have you felt as if your lips are losing their thickness and slowly starting to fade?

Do you fantasise about wearing your favourite shade of lipstick or gloss, knowing your lips look gorgeous and natural? Be at your best this Valentine’s day with a Lips boost!

At TheLondonFacialCare, I am here to give you the look you have always wanted. I will work very closely with you, to give you the correct dermal fillers ensuring the best possible outcome. The procedure will be carried out smoothly with extra attention to having an even spread of filler helping to revitalise your lips shape and softness.

Book your consultation today with Dr Fern and bring your lips back to life and celebrate Valentine’s day the way you want to!

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!

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

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

Here at TheLondonFacialCare, i use Microcannulas 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 Microcannula to inject your beautiful lips!

Not only does this treatment rejuvenate your face and body, it is delivered with the minimum discomfort and bruising possible. My patients are able to 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 microcanulas 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! This happens because microcannulas have round tips, which minimise bruising and discomfort during penetration!

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

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!

February the 14th is the day to celebrate love, and that day would remain incomplete without perfect Valentine’s lips. Here are our advises for this very special day, which will make you irresistibly kissable for your spouse!

If you have not noticed yet, 2018 is the year to shine away with all the glitter and gloss you can find!

If it wasn’t enough to put that on our body’s during carnival or try get rid of it after our children’s sleepovers, the trend is now to put it all over our lips!

Our favourite artists, like Rihanna, are fully embracing this trend, and has even come out with her own version of glossy glitter in her make up collection! Try her Fenty Beauty gloss, its gorgeous!

For the real trick in the bag, copy famous make-up artists that are applying gloss and glitter over lipstick! Make sure to opt for a darker lipstick with lighter gloss and glitter, and highlight your cupid bow by being irresistible!

If you like being a little less out there and more classic, traditional red is not and has never come out of fashion! Less is more and you don’t need a full-blown makeover to handle a classic red, just wear it with confidence!

This Valentines, you and your lips are the star of the show!

It is nice to take care of our skin, getting the last tips for a perfect make up but the most attractive person, sometime are not the most beautiful one !
