Facial Aesthetic Treatments
Botox
Botox is one of the most effective treatments for subtly tackling deep wrinkles and lines. It is a safe and quick treatment for both men and women that not only treats existing lines and wrinkles but can also prevent them from forming. Botox what is it and how does it work? BOTOX is produced from a toxin that is derived from the bacterium clostridium botulinum. It is injected in small amounts under the skin which then targets muscles and temporarily restricts their movement. This allows the overlying skin to repair resulting in a smooth – young wrinkle free appearance. Relaxation of the treated muscle starts within 2-3 days and the full effects can be seen within 12-14 days. Follow up reviews are done at 2 weeks to achieve great results and patient care. Botox is most commonly used on the following areas: Forehead Frown lines (between the eyes) Crow’s feet (side of eyes) It can also be used to treat: Cheek and chin dimples Upper lip (gummy smiles) Jawline Armpits (excessive sweating) How often do I need Botox? Results may vary on the individual and, depending on the severity of the wrinkles and the strength of the muscles treated, it can last between 3 – 6 months.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are commonly used to fill lines and wrinkles such as the line between the nose and mouth (Nasolabila line) or augment the shape and size of lips but with a greater understanding of the changes that occur with ageing, fillers can also be used for a wide range of procedures such as: Augment shape and size of lips Replace volume loss from the mid-face and temples Elevate and reposition eyebrows which have dropped Replace volume loss in the temples Lift jowls and sagging of the jawline Treat volume loss in the hands Reshape the nose Enhance Cheeks What Dermal Fillers do you use? Dr Jones has used a variety of Dermal Fillers and most frequently recommends Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler ranges such as: Belotero Juvederm Teosyal Restylane/Perlane These products are made from Hyaluronic Acid which is a complex polysaccharide (sugar) found in a number of sites in our bodies – Joints, Skin, Eyes. As the structure is identical to that in our bodies and as there is no animal product, the risk of allergies is minimal and allergy testing is not therefore required.
Exosome Treatments
NEW
Better Than Plant Exosomes, our B-SEQNC Lyophilized Exosomes are meticulously engineered to harness the power of bioidentical molecules, including growth factors and peptides, essential for cellular communication and skin rejuvenation. Each vial delivers precisely 5 billion pure exosomes, optimized for skin rejuvenation and cellular communication. Specifically reserved for professional use, they can be administered with Microneedling. The needle length is so short that it is painless and there is minimal risk of side effects. Can also be applied in conjunction with our Resurfacing CO2 Laser treatment as well as our and Microneedle-radiofrequency treatment. For longer lasting results, use in conjunction with our Skinseqnc serum and cream.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters can be used for anything from prevention to rejuvenation. We offer bespoke treatment protocols to suit all skin types and concerns. All skin Booster protocols require a course of treatments. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) PRF is obtained from a client's blood using a centrifuge and has NO additives. The skin rejuvenation effect of platelet-derived growth factors on tissue regeneration. These Growth Factors stimulate Fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen, elastin and important skin contents to promote healthy younger looking skin. PRF can also be used to stimulate hair growth, combinated with microneedling, to improve skin tone and texture, as well as combined with hyaluronic acid (dermal fillers) for volume loss. Polynucleotides Polynucleotides boost collagen and elastin by improving the health and action of the fibroblast cells, resulting in tissue regeneration and restored skin tone and elasticity. It has an antioxidant and hydrating effect in addition to the bio-remodelling, therefore resulting in skin that looks and feels healthier. Juvelook (PLLA) Combining Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), Juvelook offers a unique dual-action approach that provides instant skin hydration and long-term collagen stimulation benefits. The 2 components are both naturally degraded in the skin and produce long lasting effects. Sculptra This is another form of PLLA with a higher concentration and larger molecules. It is placed deeper and provides long lasting effects. 2 or 3 treatments are usually required to provide results lasting 18 - 24 months.
PDO Threads
Polydioxonone (PDO) Threads are a revolutionary development in aesthetic medicine. They are used to stimulate new collagen in the skin, giving a smoother texture, a brighter and tighter appearance and have also been proven to reduce pigmentation. As a result of the process the skin is gradually lifted and tightened to produce the desired effects. Although there are many types of threads, we use biodegradable materials which the body completely dissolves and removes. Whilst some threads are directly attached to the deeper layers of the skin to give an immediate pull and lift, others are placed in a specific form to stimulate collagen and give a gentle and gradual tightening and lift over 4-6 months. It is most commonly used on the following areas: Jawline Neck Upper lip lines (Smokers lines) Lip line shape Brow lift Nasolabial folds It can also be used to treat: Nose augmentation Chin Scars Cheeks Does it hurt? At Dr Huw Jones’ Clinic, everything is done to make any discomfort minimal. Topical cooling with the unique CryoJet or numbing creams can be applied. Local anaesthetic injections can also be provided to further reduce discomfort in certain areas. Can it be combined with other treatmetns? Whilst threads alone produce fabulous results, it is also a great treatment to combine with others. PRF, HIFU, Dermal fillers and Botox are often combined with PDO threads to create the desired results.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) uses safe ultrasound energy to both lift and tighten skin by encouraging the skin’s own healing processes – without any surgery or downtime. This is a non-invasive procedure that can lift the skin on the neck, under the chin and along the jawline. It can also be used to lift eyebrows and improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face and decolletage. The procedure encourages new collagen formation without disrupting the skin surface. It also tightens the layer directly below the skin (SMAS) producing immediate benefits. However, the full benefits will be seen from 2-3 months with the new collagen. Unlike laser treatments, there is no need to avoid the sunlight before or after. It is relatively painless and can be combined with other treatments to prolong effects which can last beyond 18 months.
Lasers
Fractionated carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment for skin resurfacing. Vascular Laser treatment for broken capillaries. CO2 lasers are one of the latest advances in non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments. The CO2 is used to treat deeper wrinkles, sun damage, age spots and some scars. The main treatment areas are the face, neck, décolletage and hands. You will see some results within the first few weeks which continue to improve over many months as collagen production increases and produces more elasticity and strength. Pigmentation marks fade and the skin develops an a more youthful, thicker and brighter appearance overall. Vascular laser treatment (or thermocoagulation or photosclerosis) is a fast and effective method for eliminating vascular lesions on any area of the body or face. Vascular lesions include broken capillaries, couperose and rosacea.
Microneedling Radiofrequency
Microneedling radiofrequency is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment with incredible results. It consists of tiny needles and radiofrequency waves used to create microwounds which in turn triggers the production of elastin and collagen and leads to new, fresher and tighter looking skin. What can it be used to treat? Increase collagen and elastin production Lift and tighten loose skin Improve skin texture and tone Reduce appearance of scars and large pores Improve stretchmarks Improve sun damage The treatment can be performed anywhere on the body but it is most commonly used on the following areas on the face; Upper and lower face Neck Decolletage Results are visible after just 1 session however, we recommend a course of 3, spaced 4 weeks apart for best results. Are there any side effects or downtime? It is a very safe, minimally invasive and very effective treatment. Healing is fairly quick with downtime estimated between 2-5 days, depending on the individual and the areas treated. The client will experience redness and slight swelling for 24-48 hours and then the skin will be dry for up to 4-5 days. It is important to keep the skin well hydrated and protected from the sun during these days and avoid any other skin treatments.
