There’s No Vacation From Skin Care

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Everybody loves to go on vacation. Whether you happen to be into sun and sand, or slopes and snow boards, a little time away from all the boring yet stressful parts of your life can be just the rejuvenation you need, to get back to things energized and ready to build a better life. But, of course, even on vacation, you still have some responsibilities. While no one wants to think of serious chapping, let alone melanoma skin cancer, these are both potential hazards, which can be magnified by the weather conditions you may encounter while you are on vacation. So whether you happen to be going on cruises or skiing on the Alps, you may want to take heed of the following tips for on the go skin care.

Pack some dry skin lotion. While many people do not think of this, dry skin can make your entire vacation less comfortable overall. A little lotion applied liberally can make you feel a lot better… and if you happen to be on the beach and on the prowl, it can also help you to look better for the opposite sex.

Also pack the sun screen. Sun screen of at least SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30 is extremely useful for keeping your skin from developing all sorts of cancerous growths over time. Just apply it half an hour before you plan to go out into the Sun, and the effects will become noticeable overtime. While not everyone who get a lot of sun get cancer, many people develop hard, leathery skin as they grow older – and a great deal of the reason for this is contained in their level of unprotected Sun exposure. Also keep in mind that the Sun’s radiation is only slightly lessened, even by heavy cloud cover. Just because the weather is cold, does not mean you should abandon the use of Sun screen.

Botox.. the good, the bad and the ugly…

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

So much has been written about Botox – a purified protein, a toxin (but don’t worry – it’s dosage in cosmetics is so small) and a revolution in cosmetic, non surgical procedures.

The development advances and practice have allowed Botox to be utilized in all areas.

So where can I have Botox cosmetically?

Forehead

Frown Lines

Crows Feet

Around the lips – NOT in the lips

Neck (lines on the neck)

Jaw Line – to enhance and create definition

Arm Pits – excellent for decrease in perspiration or Hyperdrosis – lasts up to 9

months and is a complete life changing event.

Gummy Smile

What side effects can I get ?

Quite honestly, minimal – as long as each face is diagnosed, the practitioner experienced and the patient knows what they want:

So what can happen?

Bruising – always possible and always avoidable

Drooping – yes, eyebrows can drop if muscles are not assessed – but again minimal

Uneven eye brows – sometimes this happens and is easily corrected – as with all Botox treatments

I don’t want to look plastic with Botox

A comment that I hear every hour, rest assured Botox can produce any result that you want.  It’s dependant on your wishes, I like movement, I can move my eyebrows, smile and my forehead…………..

Why?  Cos I want to!  I’m 40 years old, happy and I love Botox.  And, for those that like no movement –  Yes!  we can do that too!!!

How long will it last and is it painful?

Well pain is perception, but I assume you will hardly feel a thing.

How long does it last?  Well three months plus and that’s it …movement begins to return about six weeks after injections, but very gradually.

I always recommend that you have it injected every three months as the whole aim is to let the muscles relax – and then back.

Remember, just like going to a gym, start to exercise and they’ll build up bulk – a little Botox and they produce a nice rejuvenation

Combination Treatments:

Yes, Botox is used with Restylane facial fillers, lip fillers and volumisers.

Synergistic results are fantastic, remember good facial rejuvenation is all about diagnosis.

And how is it done………..

The simplest thing I could do here is video it and show you exactly how I do it…………….

It’s open, honest and a real patient journey.  Enjoy it and please feel free to ask me any questions.

Top Tips on Botox

1. Don’t be afraid to ask questions with your practitioner

2. Ensure that your practice can show you some before and after pictures and then you’re happy

3. Yes – believe in recommendation – ask friends

4. Be happy, have trust and only do it once you are happy to – It’s proven that it takes 15 months from the initial thought to the actual injections – hard fact!
