The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, a cosmetic surgery company based out of London with over 15 years of experience in helping people achieve their personal appearance goals, in association with Q-Med held a special opening event to introduce the newest technology in the field of breast augmentation: Macrolane. The evening was extremely successful with a large number of guests attending and enjoying the pleasures and charms of the evening. Attendees enjoyed delicious snacks and drinks as they discussed learned about this new method that is making headlines and changing the lives of people who seek cosmetic surgery to enhance their outer beauty. Men and women who attended the event were in high spirits and had a wonderful time.

Macrolane injections are bringing forth tremendous results when it comes to breast augmentation. Other forms of this type of cosmetic surgery can be extremely invasive and can leave patients with quite a bit of soreness and pain during recovery. Consequently, professionals have been looking for a method that will cause less pain and minimize risks of problems, while providing patients with the look and breast size they desire. Macrolane gel for many has become the answer.

Macrolane is a hyaluronic acid gel available in two different concentrations for injection into the breasts, calves or buttocks. The result, when used in the breasts, is a more full breast size and shape. Men are able to use Macrolane injections in their chest to create a full, muscular shape. The gel can also be used to fill in and cover up scaring from previous surgeries. Results from Macrolane injections are noticeable right away and the entire process is far less invasive or painful than traditional methods. Within 90 minutes a woman can go from dissatisfaction with her breast shape and size to feeling confident about her appearance. Side effects of the injections have been minimal and go away quickly.

People are excited about Macrolane and it is easy to see why. The technology is spreading and becoming more and more popular in Chiswick and throughout the country. The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic is excited to be in possession of this new technology and to utilize it to help people gain confidence and peace with their appearances.

This open evening event was endorsed by Macrolane. For those who unfortunately missed this spectacular night, we are happy to announce that another open evening will be held in mid-September. The date and time will be announced in the near future.

When you go to a cosmetic consultation, one of the first things to look for is if the doctor walks you through imaging and education. This way, you can see the kind of results you can expect from one of many surgeries or procedures. During this piece of the consultation, you can find out what the surgery or procedure entails, what its affects will be on the body, and what types of anesthesia can be used during the procedure.

When you come in a cosmetic consultation, you should always ask about the costs involved. You may have to pay for the surgery, follow-up visits, medications, and other items. If you know all of this up front, you will not have to deal with any unexpected curveballs.

Additionally, it is during a cosmetic consultation that you can ask about recovery time. If you have a job or other responsibilities, you will want to know how long it will take for you to recover from the necessary procedures. Similarly, this is a time to ask what will happen following the surgery or procedure in terms of following up with the doctor. This way, the doctor can check on your healing time and make sure everything went as planned.

Lastly, a cosmetic consultation is a time to talk to about your doctor’s certifications, experiences, and qualifications. Whenever you have a cosmetic procedure done, you want to make sure you are going with a doctor whom you trust. A body is a sensitive thing. You do not want an inexperienced doctor working on your body or dealing with your health. If something goes wrong with the procedure, your health could be compromised.

Unwanted hair is a common problem for both men and women, and regular hair removal methods don’t always do the job, or are time consuming. The most common hair removal methods are shaving and waxing, both those can be both painful or costly, or sometimes both. Tweezing is a less common method, but can leave skin irritated and sometimes infected. For the extreme measures, electrolysis and laser hair removal are alternatives, but are expensive and require multiple sessions.

Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is the newest advance in hair removal technology, and is quite quick and relatively painless. The area with hair on it is trimmed to remove excess body hair above the skin, then a practioner might spread a gel across the area with unwanted hair - the gel is similar to the kind used in ultrasounds, and is thick and clear, keeping the skin cool while the light is on it. The practioner, or dermatologist, then uses a small hand-held “wand-like” device and moves it over the area where hair is to be removed. The wand emits a broad-spectrum light that is converted into heat energy, so when the light touches the root of the hair the follicle is destroyed, or at least damaged. The process is non-invasive and can be used on all types of skin.

Skin disorders like rosacea, pigmented birth marks and sun damage can be helped with IPL therapy. Most people experience redness and swelling around the base of the follicles where the hair was removed; this indicates that the treatment was successful, and should disappear within a few hours. Within a few weeks, or sometimes a couple of months - or whenever hair starts to regrow - IPL can be done again, as some follicles aren’t completely destroyed the first time around. Treatment sessions usually last around fifteen minutes on average, which means patients are able to have the procedure done without disrupting their daily activity.

Both women and men alike are coming forth and touting the remarkable results they have experienced from Macrolane injections. Instead of undergoing rather invasive and painful plastic surgery, people have been successfully using Macrolane gel to get the results they desire for body shaping and contouring. The results are immediate and last for up to a year.

Macrolane is a hyaluronic acid gel that is non-animal based. The gel is available in two different concentrations, with one being thicker than other. The areas in which this treatment is generally used include the calves, derriere and breasts. Injections into the breast tissue can create cleavage and fuller breasts. Men can get it injected into the pectoral region to build the appearance of the chest as well. It can also build up mass in the calves and contour buttocks. What’s more, it can be used to fill-in scars and other issues caused by liposuction. The effects of the injections are seen right away and look natural.

The treatment is usually done as an outpatient procedure in the doctor’s office. It is treated as minor surgery, so general precautions must be taken. Having the treatment done in a sterile environment by a doctor that has been trained to work with Macrolane is very important. The whole process can take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure. The gel is injected into the “problem areas” of the body. It is important to know that certain side effects stemming from the injection can happen. They can include, but not be limited to: redness, swelling and bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are considered normal and do go away. Normal activity can usually be resumed shortly after the procedure, but strenuous activity and exposure to temperature extremes should be avoided for some time afterward.

Macrolane is gaining widespread attention as more people want to look their best without going through plastic surgery.Results can be seen at www.Macrolane.com or www.botonics.co.uk.com. It is important to remember that Macrolane is temporary, with most results lasting around a year. Therefore, yearly injections are the norm for this procedure. But with minimal downtime and little to no painful side effects, it seems to be worth it for so many people that have already used this avant-garde procedure to look their best.
