In the quest to find the fountain of youth there have been a lot of secrets handed down from generation to generation. One secret that is not being kept quite so quiet is the use of botox. Botox has been around for fifty years, initially to help individuals correct lazy eyes. It is only in recent times that it has been used as an excellent solution to assist in smoothing fine lines and deep wrinkles. Results are seen in as little in three days and last around three months.

With its evolution and ease of use, botox has become very popular within celebrity circles. Let’s examine some people who have taken advantage of the wonder injections, and see how it has helped them maintain their fresh, vibrant appearances.

This patient was treated at our open evening.

She showed her breasts to an invited audience before the treatment and again 30 minutes later after the treatment. I think you’ll agree that the results are fantastic.

There are no visible scars and the procedure was carried out under local anaesthetic only.

The “after” picture was taken 4 days later. As you can see the appearance and profile has been dramatically improved using macrolane, resulting in a natural looking breast enhancement.

She would be happy to talk about her experience with any interested patients. This can be arranged by calling the clinic.

If you would like to see another live demonstration please call the clinic and register your interest.

 

 

Permanent fillers under fire on The One Show Leslie Ash appeared on The One Show last night to talk about her own treatment which was clearly disastrous and the experience of yet another patient with a poor result. The main problem in the UK is the lack of regulation of the products. There are nearly 100 different types of filler available here, many of which have not been adequately tested. In the US however the regulation is very strict and is conducted by a body known as the FDA. For this reason at The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic we only use products with FDA approval. The treatments are also carried out by a very experienced Doctor as the problem with lack of product regulation is componded by inexperienced practitioners who may not be experienced or even qualified. We do in fact use one permanent filler called Aquamid. This product does have an excellent safety record but it should always be used with great care. Whilst it can give rise to permanent benefit if it is incorrectly placed it can also cause a permanent problem. We always start with a biodegradable product then follow up with Aquamid when the patient has had some experience of how the filler will appear. In this way we have always avoided problems and have a 100% satisfaction record.
