As seen in Vogue
Now that skin clinics and salons are finally open again, demand for skin treatments is high. But after a year spent at home, what treatments should we be considering to restore tired skin?
Vogue outlined its recommendations last year in a feature entitled:
10 Post-Lockdown Aesthetic Treatments To Book Now
Such a long time away from our normal routines has caused many clients to reconsider their objective and therefore their regime as well. As the Vogue feature identifies:
“Many of us have seen our faces in ways we never thought we would, rethinking not only how we wear our make-up but how our faces hold themselves and seeing lines, bags, and incongruences that once went unnoticed; that’s the power of the camera. No angle of our faces, necks and heads has been left unturned.”
The extensive use of video has made us aware of how we look and of how others see us too. The good news is that there are a number of treatments that can specifically and directly tackle those features that have become less desirable as a result of lockdown.
The top 6 of Vogue’s suggestions are listed below. These are all available, along with a number of alternatives, at Mulberry House Clinic; which offers a vast array of injectable, laser and other skin treatments at its Northamptonshire base.
6 Post-Lockdown Skin Treatments
- Tear Trough Fillers
Dark circles and eye bags are a common complaint among those who have viewed themselves on video calls. In addition, wearing masks has drawn attention up the face, putting more focus on the eye area as well as the forehead.
Dark circles and eye bags result from loss of volume under the eye area. Tear trough filler is an effective way of addressing this, by carefully replenishing volume in order to smooth out hollows and shadows.
Mulberry House Clinic offers an extensive range of dermal fillers including Juvederm, Aliaxin, Belotero and Ellanse - Profhilo® Injections
Another complain during lockdown is poor skin condition, with dull appearance and rough, dehydrated texture. Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment which works to hydrate the skin as well as improving its tightness and texture. As well as Profhilo® injections, Mulberry House Clinic offers an extensive range of dermal fillers - Ultherapy Ultrasound Treatment
Loss of definition around the jawline, loose skin and jowls are all too evident when looking at a laptop all day. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the skin’s own mechanisms, boosting collagen which in turn works to tighten and smooth the skin’s appearance. Ultherapy can be used to effectively ‘lift’ the tissues to improve the contours for a more youthful profile.
Other high tech options to consider, also available at Mulberry House Clinic, are IPL, laser skin treatments and TIXEL® thermal fractional rejuvenation - Ultherapy and BOTOX® Combination
While both these treatments can be used on their own with great effect, combination treatments can be even more effective. Vogue recommends a combination of Ultherapy and BOTOX® to address forehead and brow lines, creating a non-surgical brow lift that not only rejuvenates the face but makes it look more open and less angry.
Dr John Tanqueray often combines treatments for best results, using injectables alongside the more advanced skin treatments for a better holistic result - Laser Treatment
Many clients have experience breakouts over the last year. A rollercoaster of stress plus too much time indoors can leave the skin oily, spotty and inflamed, then laser treatment could be an option. Mulberry House Clinic offers Resurfx laser skin resurfacing as well as IPL (intense pulsed light treatment) and other high tech solutions. The clinic is also the ONLY Accredited Treatment Centre of the Acne and Rosacea Association UK (ARA) to be found within a 10 mile radius of Northampton. Patients can be reassured that of high standards of knowledge about these difficult conditions and a range of appropriate treatment options. - Chemical peels
Chemical peels are expected to be a popular option again after this lockdown. A relatively quick and simple procedure that can quickly kickstart the skin’s renewal mechanisms for a healthier, more radiant glow as well as softer, smoother skin texture. The chemical peel works to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher skin beneath which is in turn stimulated to renew.
Mulberry House Clinic offers a range of peels of various strengths. Stronger peels involve more downtime for more intensive results, while light peels have the benefit of needing no downtime at all, yet can build up a noticeable improvement, especially over a course of sessions. In addition, microdermabrasion offers an alternative solution, using mechanical action for intensive exfoliation.
