What Are Injectable Moisturisers And Skin Boosters?

by

As the summer comes to a close, most of us swap to a more heavy-duty moisturiser. The winter weather calls for a higher level of hydration and injectable moisturisers are the ideal solution. Injectable moisturisers (or skin boosters) are the hottest cosmetic trend right now. Read on to find out why.

How Do Injectable Moisturisers Work?

Volite is the latest anti-ageing treatment from the famous Botox® brand, Juvéderm. The Volite contains hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the body to plump and hydrate the skin. Just one treatment provides a whole nine months of dermal hydration. The result? A beautiful glowing, dewy complexion. Skin boosters like Juvéderm Volite plump and even the skin and can help reduce fine lines.

How Are Moisture Injections Different To Dermal Fillers?

The hyaluronic acid in moisture injections is more aqueous than in traditional dermal fillers. This fluid texture allows the moisture to spread evenly across the skin. The flowing hyaluronic acid in injectable moisturisers is well suited for hands, neck and décolletage application.

Why Is Juvéderm Volite Moisturiser Treatment Better Than Normal Moisturisers?

There are plenty of anti-ageing moisturisers on the market, however these can only be applied on top of the skin. Your complexion will only retain a small amount of moisture from topical creams. However, injectable moisturisers stimulate under the skin barrier to increase the body’s own production of collagen and also elastin to rejuvenate your complexion.

Where Can I Get A Skin Booster Treatment?

An experienced aesthetic practitioner, Austin Brewer, has years of experience applying cosmetic treatments with Juvéderm products. Juvéderm Volite is ideal for anyone who wants more skin moisture and equally a glowing complexion. Visit our skin clinic in Bournemouth to find out more.

When Is The Best Time To Start Botox?

by

So, when is the best time to start Botox?  We all know the basics of good skincare. Avoid smoking, sunbathing, and get your eight hours of beauty sleep, etc. But lifestyle habits can have a varied effect on your skin depending on your age. Drinking a few too many cocktails in the sun will have a less damaging effect on a twenty-year-old than a fifty-year-old. So when should you start thinking about wrinkle treatments?

Botox In Your Twenties

“Preventive Botox” is becoming more and more popular with young women. Many women in their twenties are having Botox with Austin Brewer Facial Aesthetics to reduce the risk of wrinkles and lines forming too deeply in future. This may be a good idea for those who are noticing faint lines from squinting or frowning. Early Botox is also recommended for twenty-somethings who regularly sunbathe or smoke.

Botox In Your Thirties

Your thirties are normally when most people start to see noticeable wrinkles and lines. Women who have started their own family (and are suffering from lack of sleep!) may be more susceptible to early wrinkles. Similarly, stress, smoking and sun rays will start to cause more damage to the skin than before. This is a good time to start Botox wrinkle treatments to prevent permanent deep lines.

Botox In Your Forties

At forty, most women will begin to form prominent crow’s feet and frown lines. Botox can be applied to these target areas to rejuvenate the skin and take years off you! This is also a good time to start a skin-boosting treatment that stimulates your body’s production of regeneration, such as Polynucleotides,  which stimulate collagen production and reduce the signs of ageing.

Botox In Your Fifties

By the time women hit fifty, deep lines have formed around the eyes and mouth. The face may have also lost volume and elasticity. We recommend using a combination of Botox for pronounced lines and dermal fillers to bring back a youthful volume and glow to your complexion.

Botox In Your Sixties

Botox is for everyone, and it’s never too late. Injections of Botox are an ideal option for mature women who don’t wish to undergo cosmetic surgery but want to improve their appearance. Although Botox alone may not make you look twenty-one again, it can be combined with a dermal filler 8-point facelift to achieve a fresh, younger look.

Hopefully, this helps answer the “When is the best time to start Botox?” If you would like further information or would like to try Botox or lip fillers, contact us at our Austin Brewer skin clinic in Bournemouth & Poole or Harley Street, London via the contact us buttons below.

What is a liquid facelift?

by

What is a liquid facelift? also known as a non-surgical facelift.  Here at Austin Brewer Facial Aesthetics, we can offer an all-around solution that’s better than a cream but less drastic than going under the knife.  Despite the claims of beauty creams, products and lotions, no external moisturiser will truly eradicate wrinkles. However, not everyone is willing to go under the knife to achieve a youthful look. Luckily, there is a solution. Read on to discover why ‘liquid facelifts’ are the ideal solution for non-surgical, effective results.

How does a liquid facelift work?

A ‘liquid facelift’ uses dermal fillers and Botox®, strategically inserted into specific areas of the face to emulate the results of a surgical facelift. Dermal fillers contain biocompatible hyaluronic acid to moisturise the skin and boost skin tone. Botox is made from Botulinum Toxin Type A, an intensely purified protein that relaxes the muscle area. Both are used together to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and sagging to create a natural-looking, youthful result.

How long do the results last?

The results of the treatment can last anywhere between one and two years. The length of the results may depend on which areas of the face are targeted. The effects of a liquid facelift can be seen almost instantly after the cosmetic treatment, after any mild swelling has dissipated after 24 hours.

What if I don’t want Botox?

If you are interested in the idea of a liquid facelift but are not sure if you are ready for Botox, or perhaps you simply don’t need it just yet. Talk to your aesthetic practitioner about an 8-point facelift. This is similar to a liquid facelift but uses only dermal fillers. The facial fillers are inserted into specific areas of the face as outlined by the MD code system.

Where can I get a liquid facelift?

For natural and reliable results, consult a qualified and experienced aesthetic practitioner. Austin Brewer has over 25 years of experience producing wrinkle treatments with outstanding results.

The best dermal fillers in Bournemouth & Poole for cheeks & face

by

Are you looking for the best dermal fillers in Bournemouth & Poole?

Nothing looks so youthful as a face with full, round cheeks. Although many of us may resent ‘baby face’ in our early years, the difference when volume is lost in the face is considerable. Sadly, as we age the face loses its volume. This can result in a hollow, gaunt look.  But luckily you can rejuvenate the shape of your cheeks with the best dermal fillers in Bournemouth & Poole.

How do cheek dermal fillers work?

Cheeks are a central focus of the face. A flattering cheek shape can help improve the jawline or simply plump areas where cheeks have lost volume over time. Dermal fillers help revitalise your appearance by injecting hyaluronic acid to plump out the cheeks. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body and has amazing moisturising agents to improve the skin tone.

MD codes for cheeks

If your aesthetic practitioner is inexperienced or unknowledgeable, dermal fillers in the cheeks may look unnaturally ‘pillowy’. This is caused by using too much filler in the wrong areas of the face. If you are considering trying dermal fillers for the first time, ask your practitioner for an MD Code dermal filler facelift. MD codes are an innovative system to provide aesthetic practitioners with clear guidelines to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.

What are the best dermal fillers for cheeks?

We use the best dermal fillers in Bournemouth & Poole, namely Juvederm.  All the fillers we use in our skin clinic in Bournemouth are 100% hyaluronic acid-based and biocompatible. The brand and type of dermal filler may vary according to each patient’s individual needs. We currently use Restylane and Juvéderm dermal fillers in our clinic.

How long do cheek fillers last?

Dermal fillers will last between six and eighteen months. The length of after-effects will be dependent on the amount used and the requirements of the client.

What is an 8 Point Facelift?

by

The new 8 Point facelift is a hot topic amongst beauty bloggers right now.  With its significant but natural effects, it’s clear to see why.  Even those who swore they would never touch a needle are trying this new non-surgical facelift. We explain how the eight-point face lift system is different and why you should try it.

You may be hesitant to try Botox in Bournemouth or dermal fillers after seeing the ‘frozen face’ results from inexperienced practitioners.  MD codes are different.  The innovative 8-point facelift takes any unpredictable guesswork out of the equation.  Dr Maio’s dermal filler system instructs aesthetic practitioners where to inject fillers to create specific changes or movement in the face.  MD codes in the 8-point facelift also provide detailed recommendations of the correct amount of filler to use.  This prevents any risk of puffy ‘pillow face’ effects.

What do MD Codes do?

The main aim of MD codes is to reverse the signs of gravity and ageing.  Dermal fillers are applied to tighten areas of the face that are starting to sag or plump areas that need more volume.
Some common areas include:

• Lifting cheekbones
• Reduce lines from the nose to the mouth
• Add symmetry
• Plump hollow areas under the eyes

This system only uses the minimal number of injections to create a youthful and natural look.

Does the 8-point facelift hurt?

You may experience a slight stinging in the areas being treated. However, the fillers are applied with an ultra-thin needle, similar to lip fillers, so the discomfort is minimal.  There is also lidocaine in the fillers.  So any minimal pain or discomfort will soon fade after the treatment is complete.

How long does an 8-point facelift last?

This cosmetic treatment procedure only takes between 45 mins to 1 hour to complete.  As each treatment is bespoke to the individual, some procedures may not need fillers in all 8 points.

The stunning results of the 8-point facelift system can last up to 18 months.  Length of results may vary depending on the type of dermal filler used and the areas which are treated.

Can Dermal Fillers help acne scars?

by

Even if the worst of your acne-ridden days are long gone, the evidence can remain on your face. Acne affects nearly all of us at some point but long-term physical scarring affects 20% of acne sufferers. At our skin clinic in Bournemouth, we understand that acne scarring can have deep impact on your self-esteem. Many of our patients talk about the impact of scarring has on their daily routine. But here we discuss how acne scarring can be treated with dermal fillers to help you feel confident in your own skin.

How dermal fillers treat acne scars

Dermal fillers in Bournemouth are ideal for treating specific types of acne scars. The treatment is most effective for ‘rolling’ scars (a wave-like indentation in the skin) and ‘boxcar’ scars (similar to chicken pox scars). The hyaluronic acid from the facial fillers are injected into the skin to plump the indentation. This adds volume in the skin to create a smooth surface texture.

What to expect

We recommend having an in-depth skin consultation with your facial aesthetic practitioner before starting treatment. They will discuss with you your requirements and the best type of dermal filler for your treatment. During your cosmetic treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and the dermal fillers will be injected into the desired areas. You may feel a little stinging sensation, but this discomfort is only temporary. The procedure is simple, and the results can be seen immediately.

Other cosmetic treatments for acne

If you are suffering from acne on a regular basis, try a chemical peel in Bournemouth. Chemical peels are very effective at decreasing acne breakouts and can help fade the signs of discolouration.

What is a Botox Lip Flip?

by

If you are on the hunt for full, pouty lips you may have heard of the latest cosmetic treatment trend the ‘Botox® Lip Flip’. But what is it? Learn more below from aesthetic practitioner in Bournemouth, Austin Brewer

The difference between lip fillers and the Botox ‘Lip Flip’

The first thing to note is the ‘Lip Flip’ is not the same as lip fillers. Lip filler plumps the lips by injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips. This cosmetic treatment enlarges the lips by adding more volume. The process is quick and the results can last up to six months. If you want to know more about lip fillers in Poole, contact our aesthetic practitioner clinic for more information.

Botox® on the other hand, is an injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A, which relaxes the muscle and its activity. It is commonly used as a smoothing wrinkle treatment. Our Botox® in Bournemouth treatments can last up to 3 months.

How does it work?

The ‘Lip Flip’ is a technique that creates the appearance of fuller lips. Botox® injections are inserted into strategic areas around the mouth (the ‘orbicularis oris’). This approach relaxes the muscle at the sides of both the top and lower lip to ‘flip’ the lip out and create a pretty, pouty illusion – but beware it’s not the right look for everyone.

Where to get a Botox® Lip Flip

If you are wanting a ‘Lip Flip’, be sure to visit an experienced and qualified aesthetic practitioner. The ‘Lip Flip’ is an intricate technique and requires an experienced professional to create a natural-looking result. Austin Brewer has over 25 years of experience performing high-quality facial aesthetic treatments.

How does Botox treat depression?

by

When you are feeling down, it can be clearly seen in your facial expression. Many of us have childhood memories being told to ‘turn a frown upside down’, but can your facial expression affect how you feel?

Physical ways Botox can help depression

How can you use Botox® for depression? A study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research tested subjects with Botox® injected into the facial areas most commonly connected to low mood. The subjects were suffering from long-term depression but unconcerned with how they looked. Many of them claimed they never would have considered Botox® to improve their appearance. The research concluded that Botox® still improved the mood of the test subjects. This is because the injection of botulinum toxin relaxed the ‘frowning’ muscles and reduces the negative emotional signals transmitted to the brain.

Psychological ways Botox  treats depression

So, we understand Botox® in Bournemouth helps alleviate depression physically but what about psychologically? How we feel about our physical appearance can have a significant effect on our self-esteem. Most people will confirm that when they look good, they feel better and more confident. We find many of our clients feel Botox® smooths out their insecurities (as well as their wrinkles!). If you are feeling self-conscious about your laughter lines or those deep lines between your brows, wrinkle treatments can help reduce your concerns and feel better daily.

Botox® in Bournemouth

Whether you want to treat the physical or psychological symptoms of depression, start your journey with Botox® in Poole now. Austin Brewer is a professional aesthetic practitioner, who has many years’ experience in performing cosmetic treatments. Every patient is put completely at ease before treatment. You can enjoy the benefits of beautifully smooth skin for up to approximately 3 months.

What are MD Codes?

by

MD Codes were created in Brazil by international aesthetic expert, Dr Maurico de Maio. He created a precise system to help aesthetic practitioners inject the correct type of dermal fillers in specific areas of the face to achieve an optimal and natural-looking rejuvenation.

This customised dermal filler treatment is designed especially for you. The Code system enables aesthetic practitioners to create bespoke treatments which complement your exact facial structure and proportions.

Treatment can also be optimised to your budget, by having treatment happen in stages. If you are looking for a cost-effective treatment focusing on just the eye area, Austin Brewer can plan an MD Code treatment suited to your requirements.

MD Codes for wrinkle treatments

As an innovative dermal filler technique, MD Codes may be strategically placed to both counter signs of ageing in the face and complement the natural facial composition of the individual. Your wrinkle treatment will rejuvenate sagging or wrinkled areas, but will leave you with a natural expression.

Which areas of the face are treated?

The MD Codes can be applied anywhere over the whole facial area. There are a total of 75 MD Codes to troubleshoot target areas, such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, forehead, brow line, eye area and the lips.

Are MD Codes safe?

The MD Code method is a set of guidelines for aesthetic practitioners. This methodical system ensures patients are benefiting from the safest and most effective form of cosmetic treatment. The dermal fillers we use in our skin clinic in Bournemouth are of the highest quality hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the human body. Dermal fillers and lip fillers cause only a slight, temporary discomfort.

Why chemical peels are the secret to beautiful skin

by

Chemical peels are often talked about as a pinnacle of cosmetic treatments for skin care, and with good reason! Chemical peels are an effective way to achieve a radiant glow for your complexion. Read on to discover why skin peels are well worth the investment.

How do chemical peels work?

A chemical peel is a chemical solution that is applied to the face. The solution exfoliates the skin and gently peels it off.  The ‘new’ skin underneath will be visibly brighter and smoother than before. This process produces a combination of desirable results.

Goodbye Acne!

Although commonly associated with puberty, there has been a huge rise in adults seeking acne treatment in the past few years. In fact, one study found that acne now affects 9.4% of the worlds’ population! Luckily, skin peels can be an effective acne treatment. Chemical peels with salicylic acid can not only help prevent breakouts, it also minimises the appearance of acne scars.

Wrinkle treatment for aging skin

Sadly, aging eventually affects us all. But skin peels are an excellent wrinkle treatment, as they stimulate the collagen production of your skin. This extra collagen plumps up your skin and helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Make your skin (and skin-care routine) work harder!

Not only will chemical peels increase the level of collagen in your skin, it will also produce more hyaluronic acid (the core ingredient for dermal fillers!).  This will soften and smooth the surface texture of your skin. As an added bonus, your skin care products will also perform better after the skin cells have been exfoliated from your face, resulting in a fresh complexion for longer!

Are Botox Injections safe?

by

Botox has had a varied reputation over the years. From the initial health scares when Botox was first introduced as a cosmetic treatment, most people now accept that Botox is a safe way to treat wrinkles. Are botox injections safe?.  If you have any lingering concerns about the safety of Botox, let us put your mind at ease.

Botox for medical conditions

Years before Botox was used for cosmetic treatments, it was originally used in the medical profession to treat muscle spasms, eyelid tics and underarm sweating.  There is a long history of Botox safety.

Despite media scares and word-of-mouth rumours, Botox has a long and safe history. According to a 2005 study, there have only been 36 cases of adverse effects to Botox from 1989 to 2003, and 13 of those patients had previous medical conditions that may have caused the issues. The treatment has been approved as safe by governmental regulation bodies in over 80 countries across the globe.

Minor side effects

Botox can have minor side effects for a small minority of people. These include a slight bruising or skin discolouration.

Find a reputable aesthetic practitioner

Although Botox is now commonplace, it is important to remember that Botox is a prescription-only product. Botox injections should only ever be prescribed and performed by a qualified aesthetic practitioner, doctor, nurse, dentist.  So when you ask “are botox injections safe?” And are considering Botox, or any other Botox treatment, take time to find a trustworthy and reputable aesthetic practitioner such as Austin Brewer.

Book a skin consultation first

Always have a face-to-face skin consultation before using Botox. Discuss with your practitioner your medical history and the reasons you would like the treatment. Your practitioner should discuss how the treatment works and any minor side effects that may occur.

Why are lip fillers so popular?

by

Why are lip fillers so popular?, Full, plump lips are a huge trend right now, so it makes sense that lip fillers are in demand! But what else is causing the rise of lip fillers? We look at the many reasons why more and more people are trying lip fillers for the first time!

Change the shape, not just the size

Although there is a common misconception that lip fillers are used to create fake-looking full lips, filler can alter just specific sections of the lips. For example, many opt for fillers to be injected just their top lip or the lip line to alter the shape and create a natural look.  And of course the filler needs to be injected by a qualified professional who has artistic ability.  Lip filler treatments are completely unique to each individual – there is no one size fits all.

Lip fillers for a younger audience

As we get older, our lips tend to lose elasticity and thin out. As with dermal fillers, lip enhancements plump the lips with hyaluronic acid to give an overall youthful look. However, most people interested in lip fillers are in their 20s. More young people are seeking out lip fillers in Bournemouth, including girls in their late teens.

Lip fillers are not permanent

There has been a rise of non-surgical cosmetic solutions in the past few years. The appeal seems to stem from their temporary nature. After watching ‘plastic surgery gone wrong’ programmes, many dislike the idea of permanent plastic surgery. Instead you can try temporary lip fillers and see the results without any long-lasting effects.

Cosmetic treatments are not taboo

Whilst once considered a taboo subject, more people are talking about cosmetic treatments than before. Following the example of Kylie Jenner, young people openly show off their new full lips in selfies on social media.

Lip fillers are an easy procedure

Lip filler injections are a simple, non-surgical treatment. The procedure usually takes less than half an hour and causes only a mild discomfort for most patients. It is a safe, fast and easy solution for those who want fuller lips.

Interested in trying lip fillers in Bournemouth? Contact experienced aesthetic practitioner, Austin Brewer for more information about lip fillers or any of our other cosmetic treatments on  07823 88388 to arrange a free skin consultation.

Can Skin Needling be done at home?

by

With many home micro needling kits on the market, it is tempting to try them out and see how much you could save.  Can skin needling be done at home?.  Here we discuss what you should know about skin needling at home – and why you may reconsider buying that dermaroller home kit!

Home kit dermaroller needles are different

The needles included in a micro needling home kit are less than 1mm. Professional dermaroller treatments use needles that are between 1mm and 3mm. Longer needles are necessary for treating deeper skin damage, such as acne scars and wrinkles.

Professional skin needling will achieve better results

Perhaps unsurprisingly, dermaroller treatment performed by a professional will be more effective and last longer.  Professionals have an array of different derma rollers and can use the best ones to suit your skin. A medical professional will also have the training and experience to create an effective micro needling treatment plan.

Evaluate which cosmetic treatment is right for you

Micro needling is not safe if you have very sensitive skin, cold sores or inflammatory conditions such as rosacea. A medical professional will assess if skin needling is safe for you as an individual. If you are looking for rosacea treatment, consider thermavein treatment instead.

Professional aesthetic practitioner clinics are safer

By visiting an experienced aesthetic practitioner, you can be assured the procedure will take place in a clean and sterile environment. All equipment will be sterilised or cleaned with a specialist cleaner between treatments. It is essential to disinfect equipment properly, as infection can be a dangerous side effect of micro needling. Professionals have also completed training to perform the procedure in a safe manner. By attempting the skin needling yourself, there is a risk you may cause scarring or bruising to your skin.

If you would like a safe dermaroller treatment, visit our skin clinic in Bournemouth. Austin Brewer is an experienced and certified aesthetic practitioner and is dedicated to achieving amazing results. Contact us now to book your free skin consultation or call on 07823 883888.
