Non surgical facial treatments from Serenity Beauty

Lindsay has been a dentist for over 20 years and also has medical aesthetic training in some of today’s most popular cosmetic treatments namely:

• Injections to soften line lines and wrinkles
• Dermal  Fillers
• Chemical Peels
• Skin analysis and cosmoceuticals

So how do these facial treatments help address the various aspects of the ageing process?

1. Skin quality: As we age our skin becomes less radiant as it has a rougher/drier surface texture with an uneven skin tone together with possible pigmentation. Skin quality can be improved by using a good quality skincare regime* together with prescriptive chemical peels* and daily use of an SPF 30* suncare lotion.

1. Loss of volume: As we get older the skin appears less plump due to a reduction in the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid present. This can be helped by using dermal fillers*

These contain hyaluronic acid molecules which attract water so hydrate the skin and increase skin volume .

1. Dynamic lines: Over time these lines appear due to our facial expressions repeatedly creasing our skin. Examples of these are smiling and frowning lines, the latter of which can unfortunately make us look grumpy! Dynamic lines can be temporarily softened with injectable treatments*.

1. Static lines: These are present at rest when our face is relaxed and result from a combination of hereditary factors and other influences such as diet, smoking, sun damage etc. Initially specific areas can be treated with dermal fillers* to  soften  the wrinkles but as the skin becomes more lax surgery would be the treatment of choice for an individual seeking a cosmetic solution.

* Additional  non-surgical facial treatments options may be available at other clinics
