The focus of cosmetic enhancement has traditionally been the face. There are, however, other areas of the body where non-surgical treatments can be applied. Because the skin on the back of the hands is extremely thin, the loss of fat padding on any level can be visible very quickly. Take away that cushion and all the structures in the hand show up – the tendons, bones and the veins.

To treat the hands effectively, I use Restylane Vital ™.  This is a versatile, safe, effective treatment used to rejuvenate the skin in a way that creams and moisturisers simply cannot do. By injecting very small deposits of Hyaluronic acid, Restylane Vital treatment improves the skin quality for a fresher look.  The treatment is highly effective, easy and non time-consuming and delivers long-lasting results.
The result generally last 12 months or even longer. The longevity of these products is variable and each individual may obtain a different result. A plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result can be created for you. Our treatment provides a long-lasting but not permanent result leaving you the option of refining your treatment in tune with changing taste and fashion. There is very little to no down-time involved in the procedure. In fact, most patients return to their normal, daily activities right after their visit.

In order to reduce any discomfort, I apply a topical local anaesthetic to the back of the hands as well as a local anaesthetic already added to the syringe.
The malleability and longevity allow the hands to be completely natural looking after treatment. Restylane Vital sits very well in the hands and provides a cushion replacement. The depressions between the tendons and veins are refilled so both the bony appearance and the vein prominences (and the dark color of the veins) are reduced, giving your hands a softer, fuller appearance that signifies youth.If you would like to know more about these treatments.

Appetite suppressant sprays do not replace dieting, they help you with it. Fullfast contains all natural ingredients that cause your brain to produce more serotonin, a chemical that encourages a content, full feeling not unlike the one you experience after a good meal. With this spray, you get that same feeling quicker and retain it for a longer period of time.

With the Fullfast Spray you don’t have so many cravings that depend only on mood or circumstances. In addition, keeping to your diet becomes that bit more straightforward. Even if all you’re doing is trying to get rid of those few pounds that won’t quite come off, outside help from an appetite controller can go a long way to helping you. Exercise, eat right, and use this spray to counter excessive hunger and you will begin to see positive results soon.

This product is easy to use. It comes in a small bottle you can carry in your pocket or your purse. Five times a day, spray three sprays under young tongue, enjoying its fresh citrus flavor. If you use it about half an hour before or after meals, you will optimise its benefits. It is both safe and does not have the side-effects you get from taking appetite suppressant products that use stimulants as their main ingredients. The icing on the cake is that Fullfast spray is completely non-addictive.

If you are taking regular medication including diet pills, you do not need to worry about ‘cross-reactions’. Up until now, no cross-reactions have been reported. Fullfast has been successfully sold in both the US and Italy prior to its launch in the UK. It is not experimental but scientifically proven and 100% natural, with no synthetic or artificial ingredients. Find out more about it at Official FullFast Website.

The International Journal of Obesity conducted a study on Fullfast spray (to see an extract on the report Click Here). The results were clear and the veracity of Fullfast’s claims were bourne out with a double-blind study. The results showed that compared with people who only used a placebo, people using the real spray began to report feeling less hunger after only five days. Twenty-one days into the study they said their cravings had disappeared completely. So it appears that it really does work.

Providing my clients with a service that is continually improving is very improtant to me. This is why I have been really pleased with a new injection aid that has only recently become available. The Ariste Assisted Injection System allows me to deliver injections with increased accuracy and precision than ever before. What is more, the Artiste Assisted Injection System permits a far more even and controlled delivery.

The Ariste System uses air pressure instead of thumb pressure by easing the injection process, smoothly delivering even the most viscous materials through fine gauge needles, without thumb fatigue.

Clients tell me they feel far less discomfort than other treatment methods ie. the normal method of injecting. There is compelling evidence to show that this system causes far less trauma, less bruising and swelling.

The Artiste Assisted Injection System takes the whole injerction system onto a different level. From my point of view, it is a technology that could transform my profession. I have recently been very kindly lent an Artiste machine, due to the reasons above and putting it to the test I am now seriously considering making a purchase!

In my earnest quest for a complete understanding of how the skin ages and how it can be enhanced,The Facial Aesthetic Conference and Exhibition (FACE) 2012, could not have come at a better time. The conference was held at the Royal College of Physicians in Regents Park, London and I was lucky to be a guest of the dermatology experts Galderma. The conference aims to increase the knowledge of practitioners and to educate practitioners in assisting clients to obtain healthier more radiant skin.

As an aesthetic treatment expert, I am continually looking to improve and advance my knowledge in the key areas of anti-ageing. As well as diagnosing and providing immediate treatments, such as muscle relaxants and dermal fillers, long term skin care is a process that is often overlooked. The amount of information, skin products and procedures on offer for anti-ageing is bewildering, not just for clients but sometimes for the industry as a whole.

This is where Endocare products offer a clear and manageable way to help the skin retain a youthful look. The Endocare process works as ‘pre-treatment’ prior to using muscle relaxants, dermal fillers, peels as well as preparing the skin before Genuine DermaRoller treatment and maintaining skin health. Endocare provides a unique range of moisturisers, serums, sun creams etc. The FACE conference informed us, that skin care plays a very important role in the treatments we offer, they not only prepare the skin but continue to maintain it.

I’m looking forward to introducing my clients to the Endocare process. I have a meeting arranged this week to learn more about these products and how they will benefit my clients and to be able to continue the dedicated care I give. In the meantime if you would like more information please let me know and of course I’ll be happy to help.

“Lips have always attracted attention. As the most prominent and sensuous feature of the face, they create impact at first glance. Our ideals of what the perfect lips look like have, as with most trends and ideals, changed over time.”

Skin care company Galderma are aiming to take Lip enhancement to a completely new level with the release of two new products. Restylane Lip Volume for volume enhancement and Restylane Lip refresh for revitalisation and restored hydrobalance.

Having worked with lips for the last 5 years I have seen considerable improvements in the way this technology works and the method by which it is delivered. What has not changed is most people’s attitude to the lip enhancement process. Some clients avoid any kind of lip treatment because they think it is ‘all or nothing’. The image of Lesley Ash and Pete Burns still haunts the Public imagination. What they do not realise is that Lip enhancement has come a very long way in a short time.

The way I describe the new approach to clients is that you can now have six different treatments to your lips that enhance the way they look. Each of these six treatments can be completed using a number of different techniques.

We call these approaches ‘indications’ – and they include:

Emphasised Lip definition and restored hydrobalance

Enhanced lip volume

Lip line / vermilion border

Philtrum and Cupid’s bow

Corners of the mouth (oral commissures)

Perioral lines (smokers lines)

It is this new approach to lips that I combine with a free consultation. It allows me to tailor the techniques to meet your needs. I like to think that I combine this tailored approach with years of experience as a qualified nurse and highly trained aesthetic practitioner.

If I could sum up in one word the new lip enhancement treatments and my approach to them, it would be ‘discretion’. My clients tell me that there are two sets of people who affect their decision when it comes to lip enhancement. They are husbands/partners and friends. The opinions or observations of these two groups have a decisive impact on the decision whether to go ahead with lip enhancement.

It is for this reason that the client wants control over their treatment. They want the option of subtle change or a more visible end result. With discretion, expertise and and a tailored approach, this is now possible.
