The benefits of non-surgical nose reshaping

Non-surgical nose jobs have increased in popularity in recent years, as a less invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty surgery.

A non-surgical nose job uses injectable fillers to alter or reshape the contours of the nose. The results of surgery are non-permanent but can last up to 8-12 months.

Undertaking any cosmetic procedure is a decision that should not be taken lightly, whether the procedure involves full surgery or a non-surgical process.

Below we’ve highlighted the key benefits of non-surgical nose reshaping.

Recovery is quick

One of the main downsides of a full rhinoplasty treatment is that the after effects are drastic with recovery time lasting up to two weeks. As the surgery is invasive in restructuring the nose, you will be left with often quite significant pain, swelling and bruising. In our increasingly busy lives, many of us simply don’t have the time to take time out of work to recover from such a procedure. One of the biggest benefits of a non-surgical nose reshaping is that the effects are instant, with no downtime required to recover. There will be minor discomfort and you may notice a slight swelling, but this will go within a matter of hours.

Cost is lower

As the results of a non-surgical nose job are nonpermanent, the cost is significantly cheaper than a full surgical rhinoplasty. Non-surgical nose reshaping procedures usually start around 500-600 pounds, making the treatment more accessible in price for many people.

It’s non-permanent

Rather than having a drastic, irreversible invasive surgery such as a rhinoplasty, a non-surgical nose job allows you to undergo a nose reshaping without lasting effects. If you want to test out how your nose could look once it has been made to look more symmetrical, you can test this out with the injectable fillers used in a non-surgical procedure, before committing to a life changing treatment like rhinoplasty. Non-surgical nose reshaping gives you the option to take away your insecurities without overhauling how you look.

5 Tips for Botox Aftercare

5 Tips for Botox Aftercare

Botox is known as an anti wrinkle treatment because it’s a procedure that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles – and help avoid a few.

While many people have heard of Botox, the crucial aftercare step can often be overlooked.

If you fail to look after yourself properly, then you put yourself at risk to a number of things, including undoing the work which has been done. This can mean you may need another treatment, or, worse, that you could prevent yourself from healing properly and quickly.

Here is your guide on how to look after yourself properly when you’ve had Botox injections:

1. Don’t have any type of face massage or rub your face for around 24 hours after treatment

This is very important – if you do rub your face, you can move the Botox into an unwanted area causing detriment to the treatment.

2. Ensure you are sleeping correctly

When it’s time for bed, avoid sleeping on your face. It’s important to try and sleep on your back as this will reduce the risk of the Botox accidentally moving the around during your sleep.

3. Be careful when exercising

Some doctors recommended that you don’t lie down, bend down, or do any heavy or difficult exercise immediately after treatment because it can cause the Botox to move. Try to avoid exercise in the first few hours following treatment.

4. Avoid skin manipulation

You should avoid any aggressive skin manipulation – such as microdermabrasion, electrolysis or laser hair removal – for at least one week after your treatment. In general, just keep your hands off your face for a while. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

5. Use your muscles

To help your Botox work its way properly into your muscles, you should very gently exercise the muscles in the treated area by pulling your natural facial expressions. Apart from this, its time to wait for the results, which should take three to five days.

Why non-surgical options are the winning solution

While plastic surgery has been growing in popularity for several decades now, awareness of the downsides of this type of cosmetic intervention is also on the rise –

from celebrities who’ve gone under the knife one too many times, to death and serious illness caused by cosmetic surgery.

That’s just one of the things that’s driving a rise in non-surgical treatments for those looking to alter their appearance in some way. From fat busting injections to nose reshaping and even buttock enhancement, there are many options now available which don’t involve going into surgery.

What are the risks of surgery?

The risks of cosmetic surgery can be high. Allergic reactions to implants can cause serious illness, while any procedure involving general anaesthetic always comes at a risk, particularly for those with un-diagnosed health issues. There’s also a risk of infection – the site of a surgical intervention may become infected, leading to illness, disfigurement and even death in rare cases.

A number of people have noted more practices are offering cosmetic procedures at a reduced price. However, this lower price often comes at the expense of quality, as less qualified and experienced surgeons are performing them.

Even if there are no physical health implications of cosmetic surgery, a procedure which offers results different to those expected by the patient can be very damaging to mental health, and it’s something which is happening more and more often.

Why choose non-surgical cosmetic procedures?

On the other hand, non-surgical cosmetic procedures offer many of the benefits of cosmetic surgery but without the associated risks. Lower chances of infection and no need for general anaesthetic in many cases makes the procedure safer, while many non-surgical treatments are also less permanent than their surgical counterparts.

We offer a wide range of treatments suitable for all sorts of people. From lip fillers to non-surgical labiaplasty, butt lifts to facial rejuvenation, make non-surgical cosmetic treatment the first stop if you’d like to change something about the way that you look.

Non-surgical options for treating excessive sweating

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is an embarrassing condition affecting both men and women.

Profuse sweating can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly affects the armpits, groin, feet, and hands.

Treatment options for hyperhidrosis

Aluminium chloride antiperspirant

The first line of treatment for hyperhidrosis is usually antiperspirant containing aluminium chloride. The treatment is applied to the affected area and left overnight, before being washed off in the morning. Patients are usually advised to wear absorbent sweat pads too.

Iontophoresis

If aluminium chloride antiperspirants are not very effective, iontophoresis can be used instead. Iontophoresis involves placing the affected area into a tray of water that is connected to an iontophoresis machine. Low voltage electrical current is then passed through the area to be treated via electrodes and pads that are placed on the area and connected to the iontophoresis machine.

Although the treatment is effective, most patients require weekly treatments to maintain the relief.

Botulinum toxin (BTX-A)

If other options are not successful in treating hyperhidrosis, Botox is an option. Although Botox cannot cure hyperhidrosis, it can bring temporary relief to sufferers. The Botox treatment is injected into the skin around the affected area and works by dulling the nerves that supply the eccrine glands, which produce sweat.

BTX-A is usually very effective but treatment can be painful if the injections are to be placed in sensitive areas, such as the hands and feet. For this reason, a topical local anaesthetic is usually applied prior to treatment. The treatment must be repeated every three to six months for the effects to be maintained.

Other options

Other less frequently used options to treat hyperhidrosis include electromagnetic and laser technology. Both these treatments are non-invasive and are designed to target and destroy the sweat ducts. Once the sweat ducts are gone, hyperhidrosis is effectively cured.

In conclusion

Hyperhidrosis is an embarrassing condition that can really impact on a sufferer’s quality of life. There are several effective non-surgical treatments that can be carried out. First Clinical Aesthetics carry out the Botulinum toxin injections for treatment of hyperhidrosis. For more information, contact us today.
