Appointments
We offer a variety of medical aesthetic treatments depending on your individual needs and concerns.
Before any treatment or procedure is administered, all new patients must undergo a thorough consultation, this is free of charge and puts you under no obligation. However, as well as giving you the opportunity to find out all you need to know about your chosen treatment, during the course of consultation all treatment options and costs involved will be discussed.
During your consultation we will offer honest advice. You will be able to discuss your worries, fears and reservations. We will give you an in depth explanation of procedures and will advise you of all the treatment options and realistic expectations. We will discuss aftercare, possible contra-indications and limitations. Our aim is to give you a comprehensive assessment in order that you may make an informed choice.
Treatments
Dermal Fillers
Juvéderm™ provides an instant solution for lines, wrinkles, lip enhancement and facial contouring, to which reduce the signs of ageing and enhance facial features.
The treatments are gradually absorbed over time, so whenever you see the need for improvement you can have further treatments to maintain or improve your youthful new look. With Juvéderm™, you can have a treatment for a special event and then later choose to have “top-up” treatments to maintain the effect. The time it takes for Juvederm™ to break down will vary from person to person.
The Juvéderm™ Vycross range has been specifically designed to incorporate different strengths and weights to address the varied areas of the face: Voluma™ creates visible lift to the cheeks, Volux™ provide excellent jawline definition and reshapes the chin, Volift™ is a medium weight filler used to soften lines, whilst Volbella™ is lighter and gives a soft enhancement to the lip area. We also use products from the Juvéderm™ Ultra range.
The Treatment of Lines & Wrinkles
Consultations for the Treatment of Lines & Wrinkles
*kindly note that the following information is provided as a reference only.
Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) is a natural protein which relaxes and softens lines and wrinkles, mainly in the upper third of the face.
Small injections are made into the specific muscles of the face that create wrinkles. This reduces the muscular activity and therefore softens the skin’s creasing. Botox® treatments generally become effective within 3–14 days. Some patients may need or require a treatment with filler also for best results.
Before any Botox® treatment is administered, patients will be required to undergo a full medical consultation with one of our nurses. This consultation is an essential part of the treatment process during which all treatment options and alternatives, risks and complications will be discussed. Your informed consent is a principal concern.
Botox® is a Prescription Only Medication and as such, treatments should only be administered by a qualified medical professional. All Cheshire Image Clinic nurses provide Botox® treatments and they all possess a validation certificate from the manufacturers of Botox® – Allergan. Our nurses are all registered nurse independent prescribers.
Profhilo®
Profhilo® is an injectable hyaluronic acid based product, designed to boost and hydrate the skin as well remodel ageing and sagging tissue.
This unique bio-remodelling treatment tightens and brightens skin. Profhilo® works by nourishing cells to restores skin hydration and firmness. It also stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin and provides natural looking results that are suitable for almost every skin type.
It can be used on all areas of the face, including the eye area.
The treatment is carried out in 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is an effective medical technique that is used to eliminate thread veins.
The treatment involves small precise injections into the tiny thread veins. This closes the blood vessel which is then absorbed by the body over a period of time and following a number of treatments.
The nurse will inform the patient of the approximate number of treatments required for the individual needs.
Minor Surgery
All Cheshire Image Clinic nurses are qualified to remove cysts, warts, moles, and polyps and these treatments routinely include the taking of a sample for histology.
Patients who undergo removal of problem “lumps and bumps” tell us how the procedure has enhanced their life, due to the fact that their confidence is boosted, and choice of clothing is no longer governed by unsightly or uncomfortable skin lesions.
As with all our procedures, review is an important part of your treatment and we encourage follow-up appointments.
Cosmetic Surgery Counselling
Cosmetic (or aesthetic or reconstructive) surgery has become an affordable, effective and acceptable way of rejuvenating certain parts of the body that have begun to change with the ageing process; or following an event such as pregnancy or extreme weight loss. Surgery also provides a means to reshape or remodel parts of our bodies that make us feel self-conscious or embarrassed.
Successful aesthetic treatment, including surgery, can also have important psychological/mental benefits contributing to the feeling of well-being, happiness and performance. Surgery is a way to improve appearance, increase confidence and boost self-esteem.
The Cheshire Image Clinic, as a centre of medical excellence, offers cosmetic surgery counselling and a specialist referral system.
Chemical Peels
Sun, smog, smoking, extremes of temperature and many other free radical causes are a constant threat to the health and well-being of our skin. Our genetic disposition and general health also contribute to skin health. As we age these are the reasons that our skin loses it brightness and softness, and appear more dull and lacking in moisture.
A healthy glowing skin signifies youth and attractiveness. Smooth, supple and bright skin is a reflection of inner health, well-being and happiness. In recent years significant progress has been made in aesthetics and cosmetology allowing specific and effective treatments for a patient.
A consultation will decide whether a Chemical Peel Treatment is the right choice of treatment for each individual. There are different types of peel; however The Cheshire Image Clinic may recommend rejuvenation using evidence based chemicals. Treatments and aftercare are unique to each patient.
