Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles can change our skin and appearance yet we all want to look our best. Life style choices obviously play an important part in looking after our skin for instance: stopping smoking, avoiding sunbathing, always using a good SPF, eating a healthy diet and getting adequate sleep all help. However the alteration of the skin’s natural elasticity and the effects of gravity result in loss of facial volume and the formation of lines and wrinkles.
So what can we do about it? Good cosmetic products really do help to maintain skin tone. Some of us may resort to surgery and have a face-lift. For many however this is an unacceptable option. An effective and far less invasive choice is treatment with dermal fillers or muscle relaxing injections.
Dermal Fillers are safe synthetic versions of natural skin constituents which when gently injected under the line of a facial wrinkle produce a marked de-emphasis of the line and give a smoother more relaxed look to the face. These products work well in the lower half of the face such as the lines from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They can also be used to give a subtle contouring to the lips- the so-called Paris Lip or Lip Enhancement.

Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation can cause significant distress as the dark spots tend to appear on the face, hands, and other highly visible body parts that have been exposed to the sun, and can be difficult to hide.
Hyperpigmentation is caused by an overproduction of melanin.
There are many types of hyperpigmentation, the main ones are as follows;
- Age spots caused by sun damage are the most common and are predominantly found on the face, skin and hands. The areas that are mostly exposed to the sun. They appear as darkened patches of skin.
- Melasma/chloasma – this occurs in 90% of pregnant women and is caused by hormonal changes. It appears largely on the face and arms as irregular darker patches.
- Post – inflammatory Pigmentation – Caused by trauma or injury. There is a difference in the skin tone as the age of the skin is different. This can also appear after some cosmetic treatments such as micro derm-abbrasion.

Subject to a consultation, treatment options that we offer for hyper pigmentation include the award winning Jan Marini range of both skin care products and systems.

Facial Redness
Redness, flushing, erythema and rosacea are common chronic inflammatory skin conditions. Rosacea and other forms of erythema are characterized by facial redness, telangiectasias (enlarged blood vessels), and sometimes lesions that look like acne papules and pustules. Rosacea affects an increasing number of individuals as the “over 40” population continues to grow. Most commonly, the clinical onset of rosacea begins between ages 30 and 50, but can occur in adolescence or in the elderly. Rosacea is also much more prevalent among women; when men get rosecea it is usually far more severe. It can give the impression of a person being embaressed when actually they are not and this can effect the person’s self – esteem.
Treatment
After a skin consultation, taking into account a medical history with either Rupal or Alison, a diagnosis is made which will determine the treatment plan which is best suited for the client. This can include products or peels from the Jan Marini range and/or depending on the suitability, a method such as diathermy to close down larger capillaries. Often a combination of product and procedure is the best route.

Smooth Neck Lines
Those lines produced by the platysma muscle radiating from the lower jaw along the front of the neck and decollete. Sometimes referred to as ‘turkey neck’, these lines are either horizontal ‘necklace lines’ or the vertical bands that are prominent when you clench your teeth.
No matter how well you look after your skin, you may find that your neck area is the biggest giveaway of your age. These lines are caused by the platysma muscle, which radiates from your lower jaw, along the front of your neck and decollete. We can use Botox to smooth these lines and give you a much smoother, younger looking neck. We can also recommend the use of Jan Marini Juveneck, a revolutionary anti-ageing cream.
