Skin Rejuvenation Treatments Cheltenham – Skin ageing and how to reverse it.

We offer an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment at our Cheltenham clinic. Prematurely aged skin is a thing I see a lot in my Cheltenham skin clinic, and it’s usually caused by sun damage and smoking or, indeed, both. When people think of aged skin, we can imagine leathery texture and deep wrinkles, not just around the eyes but “smokers'” lines around the mouth too. The skin quality can either become thick and leathery or thin and translucent, like tissue paper.

Added onto that can be the effects of outside elements, like sun damage manifested in pigmentation spots, or “farmer’s” cheeks, covered in tiny red veins or rosacea. Creating a clear canvas can help even extreme skin damage, as I just described. We do this procedure by removing the red and the brown and then tackling the texture and the wrinkles.

Of course no one can stop the ageing process, but we certainly can do a lot to reverse it.

Skin Rejuvenation

I recommend Tixel for lines and wrinkles. Tixel is the new gold standard and latest resurfacing treatment to reduce lines; it can even treat right next to the lash line. Plastic surgeons are now replacing some of their eyelift surgery procedures with Tixel instead. Results can be dramatic and non-invasive, taking up to 10 years off the skin with no needles or surgery.

Another thing that gets significant results on aged skin is RED light therapy and laser work or IPL work for both pigments and red veins. The Red light LED is the only treatment in the world where you lie under a canopy of lights, eyes closed, and relax whilst the light goes really deep into the skin and gives all the skin cells a huge boot camp workout! This results in plumper skin, where all the new collagen has been produced.

Hero Products

My hero products would be hyaluronic acid, the skin’s lubricant. By the time we are 60, we have only 10% left. Furthermore, vitamin C antioxidant is taken as a serum for brightening and strengthening the skin. Vitamin A, or retinol, also encourages the skin cells to turn over a little faster. (They become sluggish as we age) and finally a beneficial everyday-use SPF for protection.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

As our faces age, we lose fat, collagen production slows, and the framework of our faces slackens like a hammock in our face structure. At one time, surgery was the only thing that lifted the face. However, now we have Radiofrequency and HIFU, all of which can help hugely.

My approach is very often combination treatments, so, for example, I may do a relaxing vitamin-infusion facial. I incorporate this procedure with some lifting with heat, like Radiofrequency or infra-red LED combo, and maybe a little tixel under the eyes.

This is what I love about the aesthetics industry today. Of course we can enjoy a facial. However, we now have the devices and technology to achieve real and lasting results for the ultimate non-surgical facelift. My aim with facials is to have the entire lovely feel of a spa facial but with the results of a more Medi-treatment or facial.
