Neck Rejuvenation (Décolletage)
The Décolletage area is referred to as the neckline, the zone extending about two handbreadths from the base of the neck down. The skin around this area is much more delicate and thinner than elsewhere on your body or face. The neck and chest area can give away your age.
How does Botox® work in the neck?
Botox® is very effective at correcting the medial two bands of the neck called platysmal bands. Botox® blocks impulses from the nerve to the muscles that are related to neck and relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.
Will I be able to move my neck?
Yes, you will be able to move your neck as normal and it does not prevent normal movement.
Does Botox® treatment hurt in the neck area?
You may experience some discomfort during the treatment, but as the needle is so small, this is usually minimal.
How often do I need to have treatments in the neck area with Botox®?
The results last on average 3-4 months. The average person will need to have Botox® injections about 3 to 4 times per year. However, after three or four treatment sessions, some clients have experienced a more lasting effect.
At Fresh Clinics we use a range of peels dependent upon your skin condition. You do not need to have problematic skin to have a safe medical skin peel treatment. Some patients like to have a mini boost peel (this is a lower percentage glycolic peel) to give them a “healthy glow” before a special event like a wedding or a party. We sometimes find that the weeks leading up to Christmas can be quite popular with people preparing to look good for festive parties and those relatives they have not seen in a while.
What is it?
We use the Neostrata skin peel range which has been clinically-proven and developed by Dermatologist’s. It is a series of peels using AHA (alphahydroxy acid) glycolic acids. This peel is for people wanting the effects of a deeper skin peel via a series of superficial peels, enabling them to continue their social life without any visible peeling.
Does it hurt?
It can have a slightly stingy feeling but not for long.
What will I look like after a glycolic peel treatment?
You skin will look fresh, glowing and clean. There may be some mild pinkness but this will reduce by the time you have left the clinic. It is an excellent treatment.
Can I go back to work after a glycolic peel treatment?
Yes you can. There is no downtime and you can have this treatment done in your lunch break.
What are the benefits of a glycolic peel?
The Neostrata skin peel is safe and beneficial in improving the visible signs of aging or sun damaged skin and for the treatment of various dermatological conditions including acne, dry skin, hyperkeratosis and hyper-pigmentation. You do not need to have problematic skin to have a safe medical skin peel treatment.
Who can do the treatment?
Our cosmetic therapist Catherine Jones can do this treatment for you. She is very experienced, has been fully trained and will put you at ease. For more complicated skin conditions, our nurse manager, Miss Julie Brackenbury.RGN will assess and treat you for this procedure.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
You do not have to have problematic skin to have a microdermabrasion treatment. Microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of acne scars, blackheads fine wrinkles and sunspots by exfoliating the top layers of the skin. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, helping your skin rejuvenate faster than normal. It improves the overall condition of the skin without downtime.
How long will it take?
20 - 30 minutes. Microdermabrasion has hardly any down time and you can have it done in your lunch hour. Everyone is different but after the treatment some patients can look like they have just popped in and out of a sauna for 5 minutes. You can wear make up afterwards but we would advise you to let your skin breath for a while before doing so.
Is Microdermabrasion Suitable For Me?
However, if the goal is to get rid of acne, superficial acne scars, blotchy skin, large pores, age or sun spots, fine wrinkles or uneven skin tone and texture, you are a perfect candidate for microdermabrasion. All skin types can be treated with microdermabrasion. If you are pregnant or breast feeding we would advise not to have this treatment because of the risk of increase in pigmentation (dark patches). If you are taking Roaccutane for acne we would again not advise you to have this treatment until 6 months after completion of the course.
