Which Vitamin C Antioxidant Is Right For You?

We are celebrating Vitamin C Month so we wanted to take a moment to talk about why Vitamin C plays such an important part in your skincare regime and which SkinCeuticals products we would recommend adding to your daily routine.

Discover the top 7 incredible benefits of Vitamin C:

Collagen Production: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin’s firmness and elasticity. Collagen production tends to decline with age, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. By promoting collagen synthesis, vitamin C helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are molecules that can lead to premature ageing and skin damage. By neutralising free radicals, vitamin C helps prevent oxidative stress and keeps the skin looking youthful.

Brightening Effect: Vitamin C has skin-brightening properties due to its ability to inhibit melanin production. Melanin is the pigment responsible for giving skin its colour, and overproduction can lead to hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots and uneven skin tone. Vitamin C can help fade existing dark spots and prevent the formation of new ones, resulting in a more even complexion.

Sun Protection: While not a substitute for sunscreen, vitamin C can help protect the skin from sun damage. It acts as a secondary defense mechanism against UV radiation by neutralising free radicals generated by sun exposure. Additionally, some research suggests that vitamin C may enhance the effectiveness of sunscreen when used together.

Wound Healing: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the skin’s natural wound-healing process. It helps promote the production of collagen, which is essential for repairing damaged skin tissue. By accelerating the healing process, vitamin C can improve the skin’s overall appearance and reduce the risk of scarring.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Vitamin C has mild anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm irritated or inflamed skin. It may be beneficial for conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema by reducing redness and inflammation.

Hydration and Moisture Retention: Vitamin C helps strengthen the skin’s barrier function, allowing it to better retain moisture. This can result in smoother, more hydrated skin with improved texture and suppleness.

Start your Cavendish journey with a skin anaylsis

Cavendish Clinic wants everyone to understand their skin; that is why we offer a complimentary skin analysis to all our clients. The SkinCeuticals SkinScope will assess your skin through two light modes: daylight mode for reviewing visible concerns, and an LED-UV light mode for identifying any underlying damage from sun damage, congested pores, oily spots, dehydrated and thinner skin, uneven texture, and poor desquamation (the natural process of skin cells being created, sloughed away, and replaced by new skin cells). Based on your skin concerns, you will receive a treatment plan to help you achieve the best results possible for your skin.

The science behind SkinCeuticals

SkinCeutical’s founding scientist, Dr. Sheldon Pinnell changed the face of topical antioxidants with his pivotal research. His quest for knowledge and dedication to skin science was paramount for establishing SkinCeuticals as the antioxidant authority. Dr. Pinnell’s Duke Antioxidant patent has been a driving force at SkinCeuticals since the company’s inception, but his contributions to science did not stop there. His skin science research findings have been published in peer-reviewed journals and have since been universally accepted in the dermatological community.

Research and innovation are at the core of the SkinCeuticals mission, and their dedication to science has established the brand as a leader in the advanced skincare arena. The company’s founding was the direct result of a revolutionary discovery that set the standard for antioxidant formulation. SkinCeuticals continues to pioneer next-generation products that will optimise the health and beauty of the skin—and change the face of skincare for years to come. To help you on your skincare journey we have created a skincare regime tailored to each skin concern.

We Asked Our Doctors: What’s The Difference Between Lip Filler and a Lip Flip?

In recent years, the quest for fuller lips has become a trend in aesthetic enhancements. Whether you’re considering overlining your lips with lip liners or contemplating about injections, it’s important to understand the difference between different lip treatments and the pros and cons of each one. Keep reading to learn more about the lip treatments we offer at Cavendish Clinic to help you make an informed decision and leaving you with a fuller pout.

Which lip treatments are available at Cavendish Clinic?

At Cavendish Clinic, we offer both the Lip Filler and Lip Flip treatment.

Lip Fillers

Lip Filler is an effective way to add volume and definition to the lips, with instant results. At Cavendish Clinic, our Aesthetic Doctors work with your individual features to provide subtle, natural-looking lip augmentation. We use Juvederm Ultra, Volite, Volift, Voluma & Volbella in all our Fillers.

Lip Flips

A Lip Flip is a cosmetic procedure that involves using anti-wrinkle injections (commonly known as Botox) into the muscles around the lips. Unlike lip fillers, which add volume to the lips, a Lip Flip works by relaxing the muscles around the lips, causing them to slightly roll outward. This can create the appearance of fuller upper lips and a more defined lip line without adding volume.

What’s the difference between Lip Fillers and Lip Flips?

Our Aesthetic Doctor, Dr Rosh, explains the fundamental disparity between a Lip Flip and Lip Filler. A Lip Flip involves using neuromodulators such as anti-wrinkle injections to inject into the orbicular muscle of the top lip. This relaxes the muscle, causing the top lip to flip outward, creating the illusion of increased fullness. On the other hand, Lip Fillers entail injecting hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to augment lip volume genuinely.

Lip-filler-before-and-after

How do you decide between the two?

The decision between a Lip Flip and Lip Filler depends on individual preferences and their desired outcomes. Dr Rosh recommends Lip Fillers for those seeking more volume and a voluptuous appearance. Alternatively, a Lip Flip is an excellent option for individuals aiming to maintain their natural volume whilst adding subtle projection and enhancement. Combining both treatments can offer a balanced and customised result.

How much does each treatment cost?

Lip Flips are generally more affordable than Lip Fillers, involving fewer units of neuromodulators per session. At Cavendish Clinic, the Lip Flip treatment costs £150. On the other hand, prices for Lip Fillers start from £295.

Precautions and Aftercare

At Cavendish Clinic, we advise our patients to expect mild swelling, bruising, pain, and tenderness with Lip Fillers, lasting from days to weeks. Lip Flips are a faster and less painful procedure and may have little to no downtime, with results visible within one to two weeks. It is recommended to avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and fish oil before appointments to minimise the risk of bruising and refraining from manipulating the injected areas post-treatment.

Precautions-and-Aftercare

Next Steps

Choosing between the two treatments depends on the individual goals and their preferences. We emphasise personalised consultations to guide individuals towards the most suitable solution. Consulting with a qualified professional is crucial to understanding each treatment and achieving the desired outcome. With Cavendish Clinic’s expertise, you can confidently make decisions that align with your vision of the perfect pout, ensuring a safe and satisfying experience on your aesthetic enhancement journey.

Steven’s BodyTiteâ„¢ Journey

At Cavendish Clinic, we take great pride in witnessing incredible transformations, and this week, we’re thrilled to share Steven’s remarkable BodyTiteâ„¢ journey with you. Seeking a solution to address his abdominal concerns, Steven began his transformative journey with Dr. Matt James. Let’s delve into Steven’s story and explore the revolutionary BodyTiteâ„¢ treatment that has left him with a more defined stomach and feeling confident about his body.

Steven’s Testimonial

Steven’s desire to lose fat from his lower stomach, often known as the dreaded ‘pouch,’ led him to Cavendish Clinic. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Matt James, a comprehensive consultation and treatment plan were crafted to align with Steven’s goals. The results? Steven is not only pleased but blown away by the outcome. In his own words, “BodyTiteâ„¢ has changed my life. It’s given me a more defined stomach. I now feel more confident in myself and how I look.”

Steven's-BodyTiteâ„¢-Journey

What is BodyTiteâ„¢?

BodyTiteâ„¢ is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilises radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten and contour the skin. This treatment is often employed for body sculpting, targeting areas with excess fat and loose skin. The RF energy is applied through a specialised handpiece, which simultaneously melts fat and tightens the surrounding skin. BodyTiteâ„¢ is commonly used for enhancing body contours, reducing stubborn fat deposits, and improving skin laxity without the need for more extensive surgery.

What are the benefits of BodyTiteâ„¢?

  • Dual Action: Unlike conventional methods, BodyTiteâ„¢ addresses both fat removal and skin tightening simultaneously, providing comprehensive results in a single treatment.
  • Minimally Invasive: BodyTiteâ„¢ is a minimally invasive procedure, meaning it requires smaller incisions compared to traditional surgeries, leading to less scarring and a quicker recovery.
  • Immediate and Progressive Results: Witness noticeable improvements after the treatment, with continued enhancement over the following three months as your body naturally responds to the procedure.
  • Body Contouring: The treatment is particularly useful for body sculpting, helping to enhance and define the natural contours of the body.
  • Precision: BodyTiteâ„¢ allows for precise targeting of specific areas, providing a customised approach to address individual concerns.
  • Less Downtime: Compared to more invasive surgical procedures, BodyTiteâ„¢ generally involves a shorter recovery period, allowing individuals to return to their normal activities sooner.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications: As a minimally invasive procedure, BodyTiteâ„¢ is associated with a lower risk of complications compared to more extensive surgeries.
  • Tailored Treatment Plans: Each BodyTiteâ„¢ journey begins with a personalised consultation, ensuring that the treatment plan aligns with individual goals and aspirations.

Steven’s success story is just one example of the incredible body transformations achievable at Cavendish Clinic. We are the UK’s leading clinic for body contouring. If you are looking for a body transformation, we offer a wide spectrum of body treatments, book a body consultation, and meet with one of our practitioners or surgeons to help advise you on the best treatments to suit your needs.

10 Top Tips to Maximise Your Laser Hair Removal Results

Are you contemplating laser hair removal or currently on your pathway to smoother skin? Whether you’re a frequent client for Laser Hair Removal or exploring your initial session at Cavendish Clinic, follow these tips to help achieve optimal results. Read on to learn more and achieve smoother hair-free skin.

1. Ensure you are a suitable candidate for Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is generally suitable for individuals who want to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair on various body parts. It is a popular cosmetic procedure that effectively targets and removes hair from specific areas. However, its suitability can depend on factors such as hair and skin colour.

Laser hair removal works best for individuals with light skin and dark hair because the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The contrast between light skin and dark hair allows the laser to heat and destroy the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth more effectively.

People with darker skin tones may also benefit from laser hair removal, but it is important to use a laser specifically designed for darker skin to avoid potential side effects like pigmentation changes or burns.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner to determine if laser hair removal is suitable for your specific skin and hair type. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions, such as hormonal imbalances or certain medications, may not be ideal candidates for this procedure. Pregnant women are generally advised to avoid laser hair removal during pregnancy.

2. Strategically scheduling treatment sessions

Multiple sessions are usually required for effective hair reduction. The number of sessions depends on the hair’s colour, thickness, and the treated area. Typically, it takes between 8 and 12 sessions spaced four weeks apart each time. It can be a long process, but the results are worth it and last.

3. Avoid waxing, threading, and tweezing

Before treatment, we recommend avoiding waxing, threading, or tweezing. Waxing should be avoided before laser hair removal because the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. Waxing removes the entire hair shaft, including the hair follicle, from the root. Without the hair follicle as a target, the laser has nothing to focus on during the treatment. As a result, the effectiveness of the laser hair removal procedure is compromised.

For laser hair removal to be most effective, the hair follicle needs to be present. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, and this energy is then converted into heat, damaging the hair follicle, and inhibiting future hair growth. If the follicle is removed through waxing, the laser treatment may not be as successful because there is no target for the laser to act upon.

4. Shave before treatment

To prepare for laser hair removal, it is recommended to shave the treatment area a day or two before the laser hair removal session. This allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively without singeing the surface hair.

5. Comfortable Clothing

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that is loose-fitting so it is easily adjustable and can facilitate the process for both you and the practitioner. It allows them to easily reach the treatment area without causing any unnecessary discomfort.

If you’re getting laser hair removal on your legs, consider wearing shorts or a skirt. For underarm or bikini area treatments, choose a top or bottoms that can be easily adjusted or removed. Some clinics may provide disposable garments or drapes to ensure your comfort and modesty during the procedure.

Additionally, it’s advisable to wear clothing made of breathable fabrics to help prevent irritation or overheating during and after the laser hair removal session. If you have any concerns about what to wear or how to prepare for your specific treatment, it’s always a good idea to check with the clinic or practitioner in advance. They can provide guidance based on the specific area being treated and their facility’s protocols.

6. Mindful Skincare

We advise clients to steer clear of self-tanning lotions, sprays, or creams. These products can irritate the skin and potentially interfere with the laser treatment’s effectiveness.

Refrain from using skincare products containing harsh chemicals, strong acids, or abrasive particles. This includes products with glycolic acid, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid, as they can be too harsh on the treated skin.

Fragranced lotions, creams, and soaps can irritate the treated area. Opt for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic products during the healing process. Avoid using scrubs or exfoliating products on the treated area for at least a week after laser hair removal. These products can be abrasive and may irritate the sensitive skin.

7. Limit sun exposure before and after treatment

Before and after treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least a few weeks before your treatment. Sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of side effects, such as pigmentation changes. Make sure to use a sunscreen with high SPF to help protect the skin in the sunlight. We suggest one of our bestselling SPFs, SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen.

8. Avoid hot showers and saunas

For a day or two after the treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, and activities that may cause excessive sweating. This helps prevent irritation and discomfort in the treated area.

9. Moisturise and follow post-care instructions

After laser hair removal, it’s important to take care of your skin to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications. We recommend keeping your skin well-moisturised with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser. Consider SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, which helps restore the skin’s external barrier and supports natural self-repair. Speed up healing by adding a serum with vitamin E, vitamin C, antioxidants and ferulic acid. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic has been tested and deemed suitable for use post-laser.

Follow any post-care instructions provided by your practitioner. This can help soothe the skin and promote optimal healing.

10. Choose a reputable clinic or practitioner

At Cavendish Clinic, we work with expert technicians across our clinics who will talk through what you’re looking for and give you a tailored plan. Get in touch if you have any further questions about Laser Hair Removal or to book an appointment today.

NEW Treatment Polynucleotides Now Available At Cavendish Clinic

This treatment is available at our Fitzrovia and Kensington Clinics

In the dynamic landscape of aesthetic advancements, a ground-breaking solution has emerged to redefine the standards of skin rejuvenation – Polynucleotide injectable treatments. Polynucleotides are the future of regenerative injectables. This treatment has now launched at Cavendish Clinic in Fitzrovia and Kensington and here’s why we love it. It helps to enhance skin elasticity and firmness for the appearance of a more youthful and radiant complexion. But what exactly are polynucleotides, and what are the benefits of this treatment?

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides, often abbreviated as PN or PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), are biological molecules consisting of long chains of nucleotide units. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, and they consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. In the context of medical and cosmetic applications, “polynucleotides” usually refers to a substance derived from salmon DNA or other sources. These polynucleotides are believed to have various therapeutic and regenerative properties. They are often used in treatments aimed at improving skin health, promoting wound healing, and stimulating tissue regeneration. Some potential applications include skin rejuvenation, hair loss treatment, and wound care. The idea behind using polynucleotides in these applications is that they may support cellular repair and regeneration processes, leading to improved tissue health and appearance.

What are the benefits of Polynucleotides?

This treatment is highly effective for reducing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin texture, hair loss and skin rejuvenation.

Skin Rejuvenation: PNs stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and other essential proteins, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By promoting collagen synthesis, PNs effectively diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful complexion.

Improved Skin Texture: PNs enhance skin texture by boosting hydration, promoting cell turnover, and addressing imperfections such as scars and uneven pigmentation.

Reduces the appearance of dark eyes: PNs are especially effective in the eye area, as they stimulate higher hyaluronic acid synthesis, ensuring that the under-eye area remains hydrated and plump.

Hair Loss: Thanks to their bio-stimulatory properties, they can regenerate your hair follicles to stimulate hair growth after just a few treatments.

What is Ameela®?

Ameela® is an innovative injectable solution based on natural polymerised polynucleotides. It is a highly moisturising gel that restores skin firmness and elasticity whilst protecting against cellular damage. Ameela offers three different products: Ameela® Eyes, Ameela® Face and Ameela® Rejuvenation.

Ameela® Eyes is specifically designed for the treatment of eyebags, and periocular wrinkles, and for enhancing the structural integrity of the skin, offering a more youthful and revitalised appearance. When applied to the periocular area, this polynucleotide gel initiates a bio-restructuration process, leading to the regeneration and bio-stimulation of the skin.

Ameela® Face is the leading choice in advanced skin rejuvenation. Specifically designed to address concerns of dehydrated skin, loss of elasticity, and the need for effective contouring, Ameela® Face stands out in the world of aesthetic treatments.

Ameela® Rejuvenation is designed to revitalise and restore your skin’s natural beauty. Utilising advanced polynucleotide technology, this treatment is your key to reducing wrinkles, improving skin tone, and rejuvenating the face, neck, hair, and hands.

Where are polynucleotides typically injected?

Polynucleotide injections are typically administered in areas where skin rejuvenation is desired, including the face, neck, hands, and décolletage (chest). These injections aim to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful appearance. The choice of specific areas depends on individual treatment goals, and consulting with a qualified healthcare professional is essential to tailor the procedure to individual needs.

When do you see the results of polynucleotides, and how long do they last?

You can typically observe initial improvements approximately 7-10 days after the initial treatment, and the full effects become evident within 3-4 weeks. It is at this point that we recommend scheduling your second and subsequent treatments to maintain and enhance the results. The effects can typically last up to 6 months before a maintenance session is required.

Why Cavendish Clinic?

Our commitment to excellence and safety. At our clinic, all injectable procedures are performed by highly qualified and experienced doctors. This commitment to doctor-led injectables not only guarantees precision and artistry in every procedure but also prioritises your safety, well-being, and optimal outcomes.

Ultimate Skincare Regime: Moisture, Hydration and Celluma LED Light Therapy

Our skin is often exposed to the cold and dry air from indoor heating and blustery winds during winter. The drop in temperature can lead to dryness, flaky and dull skin. At Cavendish Clinic, we’ve crafted the perfect winter skincare regime that combines the power of moisture, hydration, and cutting-edge technology with our Celluma LED Light Therapy to leave your skin looking and feeling healthy and radiant all season long.

Moisture: The Key to Winter Skin Bliss

The first step in achieving the perfect winter skin is to combat dryness with intense moisture. Start with an effective moisturising routine. Our skincare experts recommend incorporating a hydrating cleanser and a rich, nourishing moisturiser to replenish dehydrated skin and help create a protective barrier against blustery winds.

Hydration: Skincare With Helpful Ingredients

During the winter it’s important to stay hydrated as dry indoor heating increases the water you lose through your skin daily. We advise increasing your water intake and incorporating certain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine. Hyaluronic acid acts like a moisture magnet, attracting and retaining water for plump, supple skin.

SkinCeuticals has a range of products that will give your skin the support it needs during the wintertime:

  • The Hydrating B5 oil-free serum is enriched with vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid replenishes essential nutrients which helps the skin to feel supple and smooth.
  • The H.A. Intensifier Serum is a multi-functional serum proven to amplify and maintain the skin’s hyaluronic acid levels to help restore the natural appearance of plumpness, smoothness, and firmness.
  • The Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is a corrective moisturiser that restores essential skin lipids, improves the skin’s texture and promotes radiance.

Celluma LED Light Therapy: Illuminating Your Winter Skincare Routine

Celluma LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of light to promote skin rejuvenation. This FDA-cleared LED device stimulates cellular activity, accelerates healing, and boosts collagen production. In the winter months, when our skin needs extra support, it helps reduce redness, soothe inflammation, and enhance the overall health of your skin.

Incorporating Celluma into Your Skincare Routine

During your facial, enjoy the relaxation of the Celluma device as it is gently placed over your face. The LED light wavelengths help to promote collagen production, reduce inflammation, and enhance skin vitality. Relax and enjoy the gentle warmth and soothing light, creating a spa-like experience. The Celluma device is suitable for all skin types and requires no downtime – you can easily incorporate it into your regular skincare routine.

Celluma

Our skincare experts at Cavendish Clinic may recommend a series of Celluma sessions over several weeks to maximise the benefits. Consistency is key and regular treatments can lead to long-lasting improvements in skin tone and texture. During December clients can buy any course or package and receive unlimited Celluma LED Light Therapy*. Once purchased, it’s automatically credited to your account. Book anytime online, choose the location and select category promotions, subject to availability.

Understanding and Treating Hyperpigmentation

Latest Tips and Insights by Cavendish Clinic

Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and it can be frustrating to deal with. Whether it’s sunspots, melasma, acne scars, or age spots, hyperpigmentation can take a toll on your confidence and overall skin health. Let’s explore the latest tips and insights for understanding, preventing, and treating hyperpigmentation effectively.

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker in color than the surrounding skin. This happens due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. There are several common types of hyperpigmentation, including:

  1. Sunspots: These are caused by prolonged sun exposure and can appear as small, dark spots on the skin.
  2. Melasma: Often triggered by hormonal changes, melasma leads to brown or grayish patches on the face, particularly in women.
  3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): PIH occurs after skin inflammation, such as acne or a rash, and leaves behind dark marks.
Post-Inflammatory-Hyperpigmentation

Latest Tips and Insights:

1. Sunscreen is Your Best Friend:

One of the most crucial steps in preventing and treating hyperpigmentation is consistent sun protection. The sun’s UV rays can exacerbate existing hyperpigmentation and trigger new spots. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days.

We recommend SkinCeuticals Mineral Matte UV Defense SPF 30 30ml & Skin Blue Filter

2. Topical Brightening Agents:

Incorporate skincare products containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) into your routine. These ingredients can help fade existing pigmentation and prevent new spots from forming.

We recommend Defense Discolouration Serum & Skin Even IQ

3. Professional Treatments:

Consult with a dermatologist for advanced treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, microdermabrasion, or prescription-strength topical medications. These can be highly effective for stubborn hyperpigmentation.

4. Stay Consistent:

Treating hyperpigmentation takes time and consistency. Be patient and adhere to your skincare routine diligently to see noticeable improvements. We always recommend a twelve-12 plan, and then analyse your results.

5. Address Hormonal Triggers:

If you have melasma, consult with a healthcare provider to address any underlying hormonal issues that may be contributing to your pigmentation concerns.

6. Avoid Picking and Squeezing:

Resist the urge to pick at your skin or pop pimples, as this can worsen hyperpigmentation and lead to PIH.

7. Dietary Considerations:

Some studies suggest that a diet rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids may help promote healthy skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. Incorporate foods like berries, fish, and leafy greens into your diet.

5 Best Anti-Ageing Treatments at Cavendish Clinic

In a world that celebrates youthfulness, the quest for effective anti-ageing treatments has become a priority for many individuals. Anti-ageing treatments can work wonders in slowing down the signs of ageing. Cavendish Clinic is renowned for its cutting-edge aesthetic solutions and offers many treatments to help give you a more youthful look. To help you on your journey, we have narrowed down to the top 5 most popular anti-ageing treatments.

1. Anti-Wrinkle Injections 

Anti-Wrinkle injections have become synonymous with anti-ageing, and for a good reason. At Cavendish Clinic, experienced doctors use anti-wrinkle injections to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, providing a more youthful appearance. By targeting specific facial muscles, anti-wrinkle temporarily relaxes them, reducing the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. The procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking immediate and noticeable results. 

2. Dermal Fillers

As we age, our skin loses volume, collagen, and elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of wrinkles. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution to combat these signs of ageing, can be used in the areas around the cheeks, nose, eyes, jawline, and mouth. Made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found throughout the body. They work to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, restore or replace volume loss, improve asymmetry, and can be used to rehydrate the skin and improve skin texture.

3. Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a game-changer for those seeking a non-surgical facelift. This innovative treatment utilises ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin naturally. Ultherapy improves the skin’s elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin. The procedure is non-invasive, requires minimal recovery time, and delivers long-lasting results, making it a preferred choice for individuals looking for a more youthful contour. 

4. Chemical Peels

A chemical peel treatment involves applying a solution to exfoliate the outer layer of skin, revealing a smoother and more even skin surface, giving clients a healthier looking complexion. Chemical peels can address skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne, uneven skin tone and pigmentation. At Cavendish, we offer two different types of chemicals peel: SkinCeuticals Skin Peel and Radiance Obaji Skin Peel. 

5. Dermapen

Microneedling is a collagen-inducing treatment to help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores and acne scars. Microneedling creates micro-channels using tiny needles to penetrate the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the production of collagen and elastin. 

Ageing is a natural process we all go through, although we can always have a little help along the way.

In this appointment our Cavendish team will recommend a skincare regime and any relevant treatments for you. See yourself in a new light at Cavendish.
