One of the main changes we notice with age is the loss of volume, particularly in the cheeks and lips. This is where dermal fillers are extremely effective. They are also very effective in plumping out larger, more established wrinkles such as those that extend from the nose to the lip (the nasolabial folds). LipsSoft fillers can be used to enhance the body and the boarders of the lips, giving back a natural-looking youthfulness. These fillers are usually made from a naturally occurring complex sugars, and can be used to create volume and decrease the lines that form around the lips that cause lipstick to bleed. Wrinkles and FoldsDermal fillers can be placed below the skins surface to literally ‘fill in’ or ‘plump up’ the wrinkles and folds that remain when our face is at rest. They can also be used to enhance and restore volume in areas such as the mid face and the cheekbone area, and to provide a more youthful conture to the lower face and jaw line. Prior to your treatment you will need to have a consultation with one of our medical practitioners to ascertain your suitability for treatment. A treatment involves a series of injections depending on the area being treated. In some instances, a numbing cream or topical analgesia will be used to help to numb the area. The procedure takes between 15-30mins, and the results are instant. There may be some minor swelling and mild bruising after the procedure and clients often have anto accelerate the healing of this. The longevity of the results is dependent on a multitude of factors, including the patient, the location of the injection, and the particular product used. Generally results last from 6 months in areas such as the lips,  up to 12 months in areas such as the nasolabial folds. Subsequent treatments will almost always have a longer duration of effect.

Starting with facial flushing, rosacea usually progresses to persistent redness, thickening of the skin, visible capillaries and then to painful inflammation and raised red bumps. It is embarrassing and very difficult to hide. Any of the following warning signs is a signal to seek help before the condition becomes increasingly severe: Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or foreheadSmall visible blood vessels on the faceBumps or pimples on the faceWatery or irritated eyes.If you think you have rosacea, then be proactive and get help. The condition gets progressively worse and with no cure available, effective management is essential. Seek advice on choosing the most appropriate skincare for your rosacea. Get your skincare wrong and you will make the condition worse, but get it right and you can control it. The good news is there are fantastic treatments available for rapid improvement in redness and dilated capillaries. Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light therapies work by heating up and collapsing the vessels down. Although most clients see a significant improvement in their symptoms following one session, several sessions are usually needed to complete the treatment and maintenance may be required. Quite often, we see clients who have left their condition too long before seeking treatment and it is difficult to gain control. Left untreated, rosacea can severely damage the skin, leading to dilation of facial capillaries, extreme sensitivity, and thickening of the skin causing a condition called rhinophyma (enlargement of the nose). If you suspect you may have rosacea then I urge you to seek advice from a skin specialist. Rosacea may not be curable, but it is controllable and with the right advice, you can learn to live with it.

Commonly located on the nose, cheeks and chin they appear as small red vessels under the skin. If left untreated, these vessels will continue to dilate and become more noticeable.

A nurse will have a  with you before recommending treatment in order to assess the extent of damage and to give you realistic expectations of what to expect. They do this by using state-of -the-art imaging software that visualises your skin two millimetres below the skin revealing the extent of the blood vessel damage under your skin. From there they can make recommendations and perform any test patches that may be necessary. Clear Complexions is excited to now be offering the Genesis and Excel  lasers. These lasers allow us to focus on many more layers in the skin than possible before. The Excel laser targets those obvious, larger broken vessels that can be so resistant to other treatments, while the Genesis focuses on that deeper, diffuse redness that’s just beyond the reach of .   The number and type of  treatments required depends on the size of the vessel, the length of time it has been visible, the general health of the skin and any underlying medical causes for the vascular damage. Your nurse will be able to advise you of the best treatment or combination and estimated number of treatments required at the time of your consultation. <
