Don’t Sweat, Just Botox!

By on May 7, 2013

The sun is shining, the pub is full and you are still wearing layers to hide your damp armpits and trying not to get to close to anyone – sound like you? Don’t panic! You are not alone and treatment is possible!

For most people, sweating occurs naturally after exercise or if you are particularly nervous (like a job interview!) but for some people, it’s a real issue. Sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism.

The problem occurs when the body produces more sweat than is necessary to cool the body, and this is known as Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Excessive sweating is most common on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and the underarms; and affects men and women equally.

Excessive sweating is actually more common than you think and understandably sufferers often feel embarrassed to talk about it openly or seek help.  They may instead take steps in their life to avoid situations where they might be likely to sweat – such as avoiding close contact, handshakes and physical exertion.

But what if you have to do those things on a daily basis? For example, a Dentist or a PE Teacher – they can’t avoid close contact or physical exertion – it’s their job! Imagine trying to avoid handshakes at work – or taking a change of clothing to work as you feel embarrassed to give a presentation due to wetness or staining of your clothes from excessive sweating.

Hyperhidrosis can therefore severely impact your everyday life and cause a huge amount of stress as you constantly worry and try to avoid situations where you may experience visible sweating. If you can relate to this, then no doubt it’s affecting your confidence, performance at work and your social life too, right?

So can you do anything about it? The answer is a resounding YES!

You can take control today and start living a normal active life without fear of those embarrassing damp patches re-appearing! Making a few of the following lifestyle changes may reduce the amount of sweat you produce:

  • Review your diet – certain foods are known to trigger Hyperhidrosis like all things spicy!
  • Use natural products and clothes, (such as cotton fibres),  to prevent irritation and overheating and wear clothes that don’t cling to the areas that sweat the most
  • Use antiperspirants instead of deodorants. Deodorants simply mask smells whereas antiperspirants actively reduce the amount of sweat
  • Baby wipes are handy to keep in your bag for freshening up quickly and discreetly!
  • Socks and shoes should be changed at least once, if not twice a day
  • Use an absorbent foot powder everyday
  • Avoid footwear that do not allow the feet to “breathe”

These are just a few simple ways to help control sweating. However if you have tried all the above and are still suffering, help is at hand.

The first thing to try is a strong antiperspirant that contains aluminum chloride to block the sweat duct openings. These are available at a local pharmacy or via your GP: Dricolor is the most well known strong antiperspirant brand. However they only last 48 hours, and may cause stinging and itching and therefore may not be a suitable long term solution for some.

If you’ve tried aluminum chloride and it’s ineffective, or you want a more long term solution; then Botulinum toxin injections ((Botox®) should be considered. Botox injections are an effective treatment for reducing excessive sweating in areas such as the armpit and forehead.

Botox injections for excessive sweating are quick to perform; taking around 20 minutes, and involves tiny injections just under the skin. The injections are not very painful and they work by blocking the nerves in the skin that control the sweat glands.

The treatment will start to work in about 7 days after the injections and the effects last for around six months. You can expect around a 90% reduction in your sweating from the treatment.

So not only is the treatment is quick, effective and safe, it can also make a huge difference to the everyday lives and confidence levels of those who suffer with excessive sweating.

Face Clinic London offer Botox® for excessive sweating and have two clinics in London located in Soho Central London, Harley Street.  Their treatments are performed by qualified doctors, to book a free consultation or find out more please visit their website,

Better Cosmetic Industry Regulation Recommended following Government Review

By on May 5, 2013

A recent government review into the cosmetic industry has recommended tighter regulation of certain cosmetic treatments as published in a report by the Department of Health in April.

The review led by Sir Bruce Keogh, the Health Service’s Medical Director claims that procedures including laser hair removal, Botox and dermal fillers account for 90% of cosmetic procedures in the UK and that better regulation is needed.

The panel of experts have advised that skilled and responsible practitioners and providers offer cosmetic treatments.

They would also like to encourage the public to be better informed and empowered by ensuring they are offered accurate advice and accessible redress if problems arise following a cosmetic procedure.

The report also suggests that UK legislation should be introduced to make dermal fillers prescription only.

Dermal fillers were highlighted as an area of concern because at present, any person, without medical training can set up and give dermal filler injections.

They also highlighted the worrying the ease with which injectable filler products can be bought online and administered at home, as well as the lack of sufficient checks on the quality of certain new dermal fillers.

The committee want to ensure that all practitioners are properly trained and qualified and anyone performing dermal filler treatments, to be accountable to a professional regulator.

This could be provided via professional regulation that already exists for doctors, nurses and dentists in the form of the GMC, NMC and GDC respectively.

Here at Face Clinic London, we welcome the report’s findings and agree that only qualified and trained medical professionals should carry out injectable cosmetic treatments.

All injectable treatments at Face Clinic London are performed by qualified and trained GMC registered doctors. We use long established European and / or FDA approved dermal filler brands.

All patients having treatment with us should feel confident that their practitioner is trained, qualified and regulated and will carry out the procedure safely.

Most people would agree that better regulation is needed to protect the public however there may be some years yet before that protection arrives, as the recommendations need to be agreed by government and then implemented.

What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Banish Uneven Skin Tone With Pigment Regulator

By on May 1, 2013

Summer is here – almost, and it’s that time of year when the sun comes out and out come all the freckles, blotches and skin blemishes!

Visible dark spots or patches can be identified on the skin’s surface, leaving skin with an un-even appearance, with sun exposure from the sun’s rays being the main cause.

So if you’re fed up of using make up to hide those unwanted freckles, dark patches or unsightly blemishes and you want to banish uneven skin tone for good; it’s time to try our beauty buy of the month – Pigment Regulator!

So what is it?

Melanin is the skin’s natural pigment which gives us all our individual natural skin tone and colour, which can darken or tan when exposed to sunlight or sun beds.

Pigment Regulator works on reducing melanin in the skin. It is a highly effective approach to full facial skin lightening offering a safe alternative to more disruptive medical skin lightening treatments.

It is ideal for those with patchy and localised areas of excess skin pigmentation, melasma, (which is skin pigmentation caused by hormonal changes), sun burnt skin, freckles, age spots and acne related discolorations, providing a natural, radiant even skin tone!

Made by SkinCeuticals, a world renowned skincare company, specialising in science led anti-aging products. SkinCeuticals offer products that gently and safely address this common skin concern by helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots and protecting against the development of further pigmentation.

How does it work?

Pigment Regulator reduces melanin in the skin via a formulation of kojic acid and emblica with a highly efficient exfoliating blend. Here is more information about these ingredients:

  • Kojic acid is a tyrosinase inhibitor which reduces production of excess amounts of melanin and signs of redness, as well as having antibacterial and antifungal properties
  • Emblica is a melanosome transfer inhibitor which prevents excess melanin from reaching the skin’s surface – a plant extract containing antioxidant properties
  • Exfoliants to break up and reduce melanin clusters on the skin’s surface and provide a vibrant and even skin surface

What are the benefits?

  • It is safe and as effective than harsher skin lightening methods such as 4% Hydroquinone
  • May be used all over the face to reduce local and diffused excess hyperpigmentation
  • Provides a natural even skin tone unlike harsh bleaching agents
  • Reduces brown spots, freckles, dark patches, redness and blotchiness
  • Improves overall skin tone for a brighter, more radiant appearance
  • Prevents future discolourations
  • May be used on a daily basis long term without unhealthy side effects

How to you use it?

Apply to the face, neck and chest twice daily. For optimum results, use as part of a SkinCeuticals regime that includes a topical antioxidant and a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Which other treatments can it be combined with?

Products which can be combined with pigment regulator to attain optimal results are antioxidants and sunscreens which together can effectively block UVA and UVB sun rays and prevent further new pigmentation occurring and stop existing pigmentation from becoming deeper.

Retinol is an effective corrective treatment which can be used at night to treat pigmentation in combination with Pigment Regulator.

Pigment Regulator can also be tried before other non-invasive rejuvenating procedures aimed at treating pigmentation such as laser, microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

So if you are tired of your skin complexion and are looking for an alternative treatment to even up your skin tone, then consider Pigment Regulator by Skinceuticals. Pigment Regulator is available in store at our Soho clinic or online via our skincare store.

7 Ways to Look Younger This Summer without Going under the Knife

By on April 11, 2013

The sun is out and the birds are singing. It can only mean one thing; spring/summer has definitely arrived.

Everyone wants to look their best at this time of year; to have clear, glowing skin and healthy luscious locks. But did you know that you can look and feel younger this summer, without going under the knife?

Facelifts are so last year. Instead, people are choosing to fake it- the easy way. You can look fresh and firm, without plastic surgery, and here are our top tips:

1. Botox

You can stop the clock and wrestle with those wrinkles with Botox treatment. If you have suffered from excessive sun exposure in the past, you can develop frown wrinkles as well as crow’s feet.

Botox is quick and easy, extremely safe, and it can last from 3 to 4 months. So if you get it now, it will last you most of the summer!

2. Facial Exercises

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and the muscles in our neck start to sag. Gravity unfortunately takes its toll and the end result is a ‘turkey neck’. This is the last thing you want when you swap those polo neck jumpers for fitted tees.

You can try some facial exercises to reduce the appearance, and you can also use neck creams and serums to firm the skin.

3. Quality Skincare

As summer approaches its essential to be using a high quality antioxidant serum such as Phloretin from SkinCeuticals, which has been shown to prevent damage caused by our busy urban lives including sun damage and environmental pollutants.

If you are planning a trip away in the sun, its imperative to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun, we have some of the best sunscreens available, that not only protect your skin from premature ageing but can also reduce your risk of skin cancer caused by UVA and UVB sun rays.

We recommend SkinCeuticals Sheer Mineral Sunscreen. All skincare products mentioned on this blog are available in store from our Soho clinic or online via our Skincare Store.

Also try the A.G.E Interrupter anti-aging cream. It contains 30% Proxylane which improves anchorage of the skin’s upper layers to increase elasticity and thickness. It also has 4% blueberry extract which acts as an antioxidant. Overall, it is formulated to improve the creping, thinning appearance of mature skin. Make sure you apply it in an upward motion.

4. Get a facial

Over the cold harsh winter, your skin can lose its sparkle and start to look dull. Now is the perfect time to get a facial.

You can use daily facial cleansers that are mild and gentle on your skin, but you should still use a thorough one and really exfoliate your skin at least once every 2 weeks.

Be careful though because you don’t want to strip the skin of its essentials lipids, anti-oxidants and water-binding substances by getting a facial that is too harsh.

5. Feed your face

There are a number of foods that you can eat this summer which can help you to look younger. There are various natural foods which can give you a natural glow and some of these include;

  • Eggs are rich in zinc which is important for healthy skin, as it controls oil production in the skin.
  • Strawberries are packed full of Vitamin C which keeps your skin smooth and rejuvenated, and wrinkle free. Other foods with vitamin C are broccoli and oranges.
  • Tomatoes are excellent at preventing fine lines and wrinkles because they contain lycopene, which can help to protect the skin from sun damage.

As well as eating healthily, make sure you drink plenty of water on a daily basis to prevent getting dehydrated.

6. Work the eyes

They say the eyes are the windows to your soul and they can show your true age. Brighten them up this summer and make them bag-free with the help of an eye serum. We recommend SkinCeuticals AOX eye gel proven to prevent the delicate eye area from both environmental and sun related ageing.

As well as preventing dark circles, rejuvenate your lashes and lift them up more to open up your eye shape. Try out cosmetic innovation Revitalash. The eyelash condition will give you longer, thicker and fuller eyelashes so you can flutter your lashes to your heart’s content.

Please note that you can only pick up Revitalash at our Soho clinic, so pop in and make your natural eyelashes look young and beautiful this season.

7. Semi-permanent makeup

Your makeup can do wonders to knock off the years. Use primers that tighten your skin, a good firming foundation, a great under-eye concealer, and chisel your cheekbones with some blusher.

Did you know that a well-shaped eyebrow can help to disguise sagging eyelids? Our semi-permanent eyebrow makeup is perfect to give you an attraction, youthful eyebrow every day this summer.

So there you have it- 6 ways to rejuvenate your complexion before you hit the beach! For a free consultation on any of the treatments mentioned above, please get in touch via our contact page.

Wedding Season Arrives: Would you consider Botox?

By on April 2, 2013

Spring is in the air which can only mean one thing; the wedding season is just around the corner.

Many loved-up couples choose the gorgeous spring/summer time to tie the knot. Although the great British weather is extremely unpredictable, the chances are you might experience a sunnier, warmer day in contrast to October or November time.

Now every person wants to look their best for the big day. Some men and women spend hundreds of pounds in the run-up to their wedding on beauty products and skincare treatments.

But is it a crime to want to look beautiful and flawless? Of course not! As after all, everyone only plans on getting married once.

Getting a facial or a back massage is the perfect way to relax during the stressful few months before a wedding. All the planning can get extremely hectic, but you can soon unwind by going to a spa or getting your nails done.

And more and more brides and groom-to-be’s are turning to Botox to look their best. There is a lot of pressure to impress at a wedding; the pictures are going to stay with you for the rest of your life, so it is imperative that you feel confident in your skin.

Some photographers do not like to airbrush photos, to make them appear as natural as possible, which means you don’t quite get the immaculate look that you may want.

How long before your wedding should you wait before having Botox?

We recommend you to have the Botox injections at least one month before the big day. It is always important to do a test-run; even though Botox treatment is quick and safe, if you have never had it before it is understandable that you may feel a little nervous.

However, it can take about 7-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment which is why we advise you to have it done at least a month before.

Also, you should avoid alcohol, facial massages and extreme changes in temperature such as steam rooms and sauna’s for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure- so take this into account when arranging your hen or stag do.

Are there side effects?

Botox injections are relatively painless but you might find that you experience slight tenderness and mild pain during the injection. There may be some minor swelling immediately after the injection; however this normally settles after about 30 minutes.

You may also get some slight bruising the next day, which is relatively uncommon, and is why we recommend you to get it done in advance.

Which areas on the face can you have Botox?

Generally, Botox works well for the frown, forehead and eye wrinkles. During the big day, you will find yourself overwhelmed with emotions and this may be evident in your facial expressions.

If you have any unwanted horizontal lines across your forehead, or frown lines in the area between your eyebrows, or crow’s feet in the outer corner of the eyes and you want to get rid of them for your wedding, you can with the help of Botox.

Botox for excessive sweating before your wedding

Another treatment which is becoming popular to have before a wedding or other significant occasion is hyperhidrosis treatment, also known as excessive sweating treatment.

Some people are prone to excessive sweating in response to hot temperatures, stress or emotion which is more likely to be a problem on an important occasion such as your wedding.

Botox can be injected into areas prone to excessive sweating such as the underarm or the forehead and can reduce sweating by up to 90 to 100 per cent.

The treatment involves small injections of Botox, and takes about 15 minutes to complete. The treatment takes effect in about 5 to 7 days and the sweating can be stopped or significantly reduced for about 4 to 6 months.

So if you are engaged to marry and you are considering Botox, make sure you get it done at least one month before to ensure your muscles have time to respond, and the treatment to take full effect. You want to be able to true show your true emotions on your big day and not worry about anything else!

How Long Do You Take Applying Makeup?

By on March 24, 2013

Did you know that women in the UK spend over a year of their lives applying makeup?

We all know that it is hard work to look beautiful on a daily basis, but how much time do you devote to looking good?
A recent survey has revealed that women spend 474 days putting on makeup; that’s one year and three months of their lives putting cosmetics onto their face.

It translates to devoting three hours and 19 minutes every week standing in front of the mirror- and it is eye makeup that is consuming the most amount of our time. The average woman takes 17 minutes every night out to apply eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara and groom the eyebrows.

All in all, that’s a lot of time being wasted, especially when you don’t have to exhaust so much energy!
You can save time and money by using semi-permanent makeup. Nowadays, we live in such a fast-paced, hectic world that such time-saving treatments can really be a lifesaver.

  • Do you spend a lot of time adding depth and definition to your eyebrows?
  • Do you use many cosmetics to try and create luscious lips?
  • Do you spend hours every day creating a natural Smokey eye look?

    • The bad news is that’s a lot of time that could be better spent elsewhere. Like working or spending time with your little ones. The good news is that you can combat the demanding procedure with our innovative semi-permanent makeup treatments.

    A massive 93% of the women surveyed said that they could never give up their makeup because it is a necessity on a night out; and half confessed that they need to wear it to work. However, you don’t have to exhaust so much time, and similarly, you don’t have to give it up completely.

    We are all in a rush in the morning to get ready and it’s not a crime to want to look at your best. With our help, you can go to bed looking polished and wake up looking au natural. You don’t need to go a single day worrying about your makeup smudging at the gym or when swimming; and you don’t need to carry hoards of cosmetics around.

    Interested in semi-permanent eyeliner and eyebrow makeup? Considering semi-permanent lip liner and lip makeup, or beauty spots?

    Find out more about semi-permanent makeup here, or contact us for a free consultation. Our highly qualified makeup technician, Rachel Pittman, will be able to answer any of your queries!

Beauty Buy of the Month: Hydrating B5 Gel

By on March 14, 2013

The weather just cannot make up its mind can it? One day spring has sprung and the sun is shining, and the next minute the UK is experiencing cold showers, gale force winds and even snow.

The changing climate can be really harmful on your face. It is extremely important at this time of year to protect your skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, so daily antioxidant use is essential to protect your skin. After applying an antioxidant serum, you also need to use a great moisturiser to adequately hydrate your skin giving added protection from the cold weather, central heating, air conditioning as well as sun damage.

That is why we have chosen the innovative Hydrating B5 Gel as our best beauty buy of the month!

Hydrating B5 Gel

Hydrating B5 Gel

What are the benefits?

Replenishes the nutrients your skin needs to feel smooth and supple. Enriched with vitamin B5, it is proven to accelerate skin repair and has a skin regenerating effect.

Contains hyaluronic acid which is a natural protein made by our own bodies. It boosts the production of collagen and elastin, therefore increasing the repair of dead skin cells and delaying the formation of lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin appearing younger.

Hyaluronic acid can also hold and absorb large amounts of moisture. This means that not only does it protect the skin and give it a plump appearance, but it is also oil-free, so it won’t leave you feeling oily under the heat.

What is it suitable for?

Dehydration
Dry skin
Normal or combination skin

Which celebrities use it?

We’ll let you into a secret that none of the celebrities want you to know- some big stars use this product to stay fresh-faced and fabulous on the red carpet. The must-have gel can be found both in Kristen Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow’s beauty bag.

How much does it cost?

SkinCeuticals is an extremely reputable manufacturer as they only use high quality ingredients. Many of their products are backed by scientific evidence, so you can be sure they have active ingredients that really work and are making a difference to your skin.

As they are a cut above regular cosmetic products, the SkinCeuticals brand is not available on the high street and regular department stores, and only available to purchase through approved medical spa’s including Face Clinic London and their online Skincare store at just £59 for a 30ml bottle which will last you for three months.

SkinCeuticals are used and recommended by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, select pharmacies, and medical spas all over the UK to correct the signs of aging and prevent future damage. Just try it for yourself to see why everyone is raving about the brand, you’ll never look back!

Why is it ideal?

It nourishes, protects and hydrates; maximising the benefits of a normal, daily moisturiser.

How do you use it?

Simply apply 2-3 drops on the face, neck and chest once or twice a day. Make sure you avoid your eyes. You can also apply it to other areas of the body that may be dehydrated. We highly recommended you to use it after applying a SkinCeuticals antioxidant serum and follow with a SkinCeuticals Sunscreen.

Skin Tag and Wart Removal Service at Face Clinic London

By on March 10, 2013

Face Clinic London are now offering skin tag and wart removal services at their Soho Clinic. Skin tags and warts are harmless fleshy lumps that can appear anywhere on the body especially in the neck, chest, face, hands and groin.

They can look unsightly, grow in size, cause irritation and sometimes snag against clothes and jewellery. They can be quickly and easily removed using liquid nitrogen freezing treatment which takes a few minutes. Liquid nitrogen has been used for many years to treat skin tags and warts and is safe and very effective.

At Face Clinic London we use Cryopen liquid nitrogen Cryotherapy treatment to remove skin tags. CryoPen is more accurate compared to traditional freezing treatments using a canister. It therefore causes less discomfort, allows deeper freezing and more effective results.

After the treatment the skin tags or warts will change colour and drop off after a few days and the skin will heal within a week. Occasionally a second freezing treatment is needed which is not charged for.

Skin tag and wart treatments at Face Clinic London are performed only by our doctors at our Soho Clinic in Central London. You should have a consultation with our doctor to assess the skin lesion before starting the treatment. The treatment takes only a few minutes and you are free to return to your normal activities as soon as you leave the clinic.

Find out more about Skin tag removal and wart removal including prices by visiting the relevant pages on our website. Appointments can be booked online, via email or by calling our Soho clinic on 08456044992 after 11am.
