Lip Lines and Lip Hydration

This lovely set of lips belongs to a patient of mine who is a very beautiful 45 year old woman. She began noticing early signs of aging around her mouth. She wanted to have her lips returned to their youthful state.

I used a syringe of Juvederm Ultra to ease out her lip lines, her smile creases and her chin crease. Smoothing out these surrounding lines returned the attention to her beautiful lips. To finish I put some thin threads of Juvederm Ultra into both her top and bottom lips to give her some extra hydration and structure to the body of the lip without making them look obviously enhanced. She was delighted with her result.

Rosacea Treated with Elos

Written by Palm Clinic

This patients rosacea has been treated with Elos IPL with good improvement in the facial veins. Most rosacea patients require at least two to three treatments to attain this level of clearance.

Treatments with medical grade Elos are generally spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow all inflammation from the first treatment to settle.

The freckles have also improved with the same treatment.

Natural results with Dermal Fillers

Written by Palm Clinic

Dermal fillers placed in the cheeks, nasolabial folds and oral commissures along with a lip enhancement have all helped to subtly rejuvenate the face. There has been an emphasis on natural results.

Varicose Ulcer healed with Vein Laser Treatment

Written by Palm Clinic

This patient had a varicose ulcer for 4-5 months prior to treatment. Varicose ulcers are generally treated by compression hosiery and regular dressings but very often they do not heal until the underlying varicose vein has been treated. This then improves venous circulation which in turn reduces oedema in the tissues and clears tissue toxins more effectively.

The photos show complete resolution of the varicose ulcer.

Lifting the Brow with Dermal Filler

Written by Palm Clinic

As we progress though our 40s, the bones and fat of the face start to shrink away, causing the overlying skin to sag, forming folds over the eyes, hollowing under the eyes, flattening of once rounded cheeks and formation of jowls. This can give a tired, saggy appearance to the face. We call this shrinkage of bone and fat ‘volume loss’. We can treat volume loss by placing dermal filler under the skin to mimic the lost bone and fat: we call this ‘volumizing”.

These photos show the effect ‘volumizing’ the brow and frown area with dermal filler. I have used one syringe of Juvederm Ultraplus shared between both brows and the frown area. As you can see it has taken up the excess skin over the eyes and restored the curved contour of the brow bone, giving the natural light reflection under the brow that we often highlight with makeup. The eyes look fresher and more open. Placing this hydrating, nourishing hyaluranon substance has also improved the quality of the skin, reducing the appearance of pores and enhancing radiance.

Slowing down the aging face

Written by Palm Clinic

8 years of Botox® and Fillers. These photos show one of my lovely patients (you’ll recognise her from the video on our home page) aged 46 when she first started coming to me, compared with a recent photo aged 54. She’s had no surgery, only Botox® and dermal fillers. That’s right, she’s 54 in the photo on the right. I think she looks fresher and more vibrant now than 8 years ago, and wonderfully natural.

Treatment for Rosacea

Written by Palm Clinic

Rosacea (pronounced “rose ay shah”) is a common skin condition usually seen on the face. It often first appears as a general redness on the nose and cheeks, and sometimes on the forehead or chin. Many sufferers will blush easily. Rosacea comes and goes, but if left untreated it can develop into a perpetual skin redness with feelings of burning, stinging and irritation. Pimple-like bumps called acne rosacea may develop, and in severe cases the nose skin may become swollen and bumpy (rhinophyma).
