TREATMENTS

Fine lines, wrinkles and skin folds can now be successfully improved with expertly placed, market leader hyaluronic dermal fillers, giving immediate results. Whether you’re looking for defined facial contours, fuller lips or softened facial lines, these dermal fillers bring out the best in you — instantly and naturally. Because they degrade slowly over time, you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want.
Hyaluronic acid holds water, hydrating and giving volume to the skin. As we get older the production of our natural hyaluronic acid diminishes. A simple injection of chosen evidence based dermal filler, will replenish lost volume and improve your looks by enhancing your facial profile, creating fuller lips, and smoothing out lines and wrinkles.

Natural on the outside – In less time than a lunch break, you can have treatment and then get on with your usual life. Topical anaesthetic cream is first applied and there is no need for any pre-testing. You will see the result instantly, and the effect will typically last 6 months to over a year.
Longevity is specific to each individual and the area treated.

Facial lines are caused by the repeated use of the facial muscles in a particular manner. Just as a freshly ironed shirt will become severely creased, for example at the elbow as a result of bending the arm, in a similar way our facial lines form whenever we frown, squint or smile. Some people have a distinctive facial habit — grimacing, raising eyebrows, using one side of the face more than the other — and in time they will see a set of facial lines appear which reflect this individual habit.

The Medical Aesthetic Clinic’s ‘Hibernation’ Treatment is different in that it is a preventative approach. Injections are given, usually to the forehead frown area, which temporarily weakens the frown muscles and thus puts them to sleep for a period of 3 to 5 months. The weakening of the muscles is always temporary, with the basic aim being to break the habit of frowning.

The injection procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The practitioner will ask you to frown hard, so that the exact pattern of forehead and frown movement is clearly seen for each individual patient. Afterwards, there will be some tiny red marks or as is the case with any needle, sometimes some bruising. The injection starts to take effect after 2 to 4 days and you will feel that it is becoming more difficult to frown. After about two weeks the maximum effect will be apparent

The substance that is injected is botulinum toxin which has been in use for over 20 years as an accepted form of treatment for squints and nervous ticks. The substance cannot cause any permanent damage by unwanted travel within the body because it becomes attached to the muscle itself. As a result, it is a very safe treatment using a licenced product.

Winner of the most innovative treatment at the Aesthetic Awards in 2016, Profhilo is a real game changer.
​
Neither a mesotherapy treatment or a filler, Profhilo is a bioremodelling treatment which works to cure wrinkles from within than just fill them. Profhilo deeply hydrates the skin whilst adding weightless volume for a youthful look.

In addition, it has a unique lifting and tightening effect to remodel sagging and ageing tissue. We can use this treatment on the face, neck and hands.

Dermaroller treatment can significantly improve the appearance of:
Acne scars
Aged and sun damaged skin
Facial and décolleté lines and wrinkles
Medical dermaroller devices are used which provide advanced micro-medical skin-needling, and stimulate the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely, creating smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.

Procedure
The medical dermaroller device produces thousands of micro-medical needle-columns in the skin. Each column will penetrate into the dermis of the skin and will be approximately 0.1mm in width. The column will close rapidly enabling the skin to recover quickly — often in the same day. Your practitioner will use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin making the procedure comfortable; it will normally take up to 30 minutes for the topical anaesthetic to work and 20 – 30 minutes for the procedure.

After a procedure your body will start to naturally regenerate and repair the skin, working below the surface in the dermis. This takes time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and blood supply is enhanced. It can take up to 6 weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen and the process will continue over the following months, providing you with a natural and long lasting enhancement. The treatment can be repeated after 6 weeks.

Thread veins in the legs can be unsightly and embarrassing for some people. Now there is a treatment that will improve their appearance.
​
Sclerotherapy involves the use of a tiny needle to flush a small amount of a medication into the thread veins to cause them to dissolve away. We will not be able to get rid of every thread vein but we will try to decrease the venous appearance of your legs with gradual lightening of the thread veins with each session. You may feel a very slight pricking sensation as the injections are being performed.
