Polynucleotides

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are tiny purified molecules injected into the skin which encourage it to maintain its youthful appearance. They are commonly referred to as biostimulators or biorevitalisers. This injectable is a cosmetic treatment quickly gaining popularity due to its ability to promote skin regeneration and encourage revitalisation naturally.

What do Polynucleotides do for your skin?

Polynucleotides help your skin to heal, repair and glow! By stimulating your cells to produce their own collagen and elastin, they will improve skin quality, firmness and elasticity. Polynucleotides are great for reducing fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes. We also recommend the treatment if you are looking for help with any acne scarring or rosacea.

Where can I have Polynucleotides?

This injectable product can be used for the face, along with the neck and decolletage areas. We also offer a specialised Polynucleotide injectable designed specifically for the delicate eye area.

Are polynucleotides natural?

Yes!  Polynucleotides are of natural origin and derived from European freshwater fish intended for human consumption, which most closely resembles human DNA.

How often should I have a Polynucleotide treatment?

For best results, we recommend that patients opt for a course of 3-4 treatments. You practitioner will always tailor your treatment plan specifically to your skin and desired outcome.

What can you expect after a polynucleotide treatment?

You can expect improved skin texture, tone and hydration. Polynucleotide’s are particularly great for acne scarring, and reducing any redness created by Rosacea.

How long do the results last?

Typically, the effects of these treatments last 6 to 12 months. Regular treatments can provide more noticeable and long-lasting results.

What other treatments would you recommend alongside Polynucleotide injectables?

Polynucleotides not only rejuvenate your skin on their own, but they also enhance other treatments as they create a brilliant foundation. Polynucleotides are best teamed with other treatments for ultimate results.

What is the cost?

A course of 3 treatments is required, and costs £895 for the package. Each treatment is one month apart. Your practitioner will advise on your recommended treatment plan during your consultation.

Trap Tox

Anti wrinkle injections for your shoulders? Trap Tox

Most of you know me as active, running up and down the stairs, chatting away and carrying out lots of procedures. I’m basically on the go for most of the day.

However, since my teenage years I have endured persistent back pain. I have a poor posture due to a curvature in my upper spine (scoliosis). After physio, osteopathy and even operations I realised that exercise and stretching is the key to keeping the pain at bay.

The pain and tension is mainly in my upper back and shoulders. It often radiates up my neck to my head creating tension headaches. It can even move down to my chest wall causing discomfort due to the tightness.

These sore pressure point could be eased temporarily with a massage, but the tightness would return after long working hours, poor sleep, stressed and sitting at a desk. And I think we are all familiar with this scenario!

As my trapezius muscle was constantly working it was built up like ‘Ox shoulders’.  Put politely, you could call them ‘swimmer’s shoulders’ but I looked quite masculine and pulled forward with a hunch. Then I discovered a miracle treatment called ‘Trap tox” and I realised it would be the best chance to release spasm and tension.

I had 5 injections of anti-wrinkle into the trapezius. The trapezius muscle is a back muscle that runs from the base on of your neck to the shoulder bone. The injections were virtually painless and felt like having acupuncture.

I also wanted to treat my pecs (pectoral muscle which lies over the front chest wall). My pecs were also tight as the muscle shortens with persistent poor posture. When these muscles are temporarily calmed the upper back opens up and releases upper back tension.

These types of shoulder treatments are very safe and have been available on the NHS for years, however the wait-lists are now too long and patients have been struggling with worsening pain.

Two weeks from the treatment and I felt my back was more mobile, looser and had way less tension. Then at the 4 weeks mark my shoulders where less bulky and had an attractive sloping effect. I enjoy the aesthetic changes, but I was amazed that I no longer had upper back tightness and headaches. My mood also improved, and my husband say I’m more upbeat and happier now, which is a bonus!

For me this treatment has been a game changer. If you feel constant tightness and tenderness in the trapezius muscle or a your chest wall, then this is the best treatment for you. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I will definitely be having this treatment every 4-6 months.

Why live with sun spots? Remove them with Cryopen

Why live with sun spots?

In my early 30’s I was partial to a bit of sun in Ibiza and Vegas, living the dream, and rarely using cream! However, in my late 30’s I started to notice some unsightly dark brown spots around my nose and on my central cheek area. The seemed to get darker over the summer months, and one spot was the size of a 5 pence piece! Even in the winter, with cover up you could still see them popping through my makeup towards the end of the day. After trying to conceal them with no avail I went to see my GP to find out what they were and what could be done. The GP simply reassured me they were called ‘sun spots’ or ‘liver spots’ – all benign, but permanent and not removable on the NHS. Benign meant not dangerous but I didn’t like the sound of circles of dark pigmentation on my face from a misspent decade in my 30’s.

 

I got some creams…..

I went down the usual route of over-the-counter pigmentation creams  which did absolutely nothing to the sun damaged spots. I started to get self-conscious about these 3 pesky patches on my face, and felt like people were looking at them when chatting to me. I then investigated further and decided to go for IPL to lift the patches and hopefully clear them.

Now I won’t bash IPL treatments –  as this light pulse laser treatment did wonders for my overall complexion. The treatment cleared redness and lightened my overall pigmentation but sadly the patches remained. I then went on to do a deep peel, and again the pigmentation cleared but the spots didn’t budge.

I was then at a loss of what to do, so I booked my appointment with Look Lovely London and saw Hannah who has been treating me for a decade.

 

It was time for professional help

Hannah gave me a detailed consultation and then proceeded to explain the best way to finally clear the 3 patches was to use the Cryopen. She explained this freezing pen would eradicate the spots within 2 weeks and leave me with clear, new skin underneath. I wish I had known about this treatment sooner! Basically, the Cryopen can clear anything unsightly on the face and body like moles, warts or even collections of vessels.

The treatment took 5 minutes and was almost painless. Hannah told me it was pressurised liquid nitrous oxide that destroyed the top layer of the dark skin to freeze off the pigmentation. No aesthetic was needed, and I left with just a tingle on the skin that cleared within 45 mins. The team told me the spots may get darker for 2 days and then slightly scab over and clear within 10 days. I was prepared for this and simply put a little cover up on the area after a day.

Within 10 days, they had vanished! I was absolutely delighted. I kicked myself for not researching this simple treatment sooner and having to live with them spots for 3 years before getting them cleared. Hannah advised me to look after my skin in the future wearing SPF 50 cream to prevent any further pigmentation and sun damage. Now being sensible and after my IPL and cryotherapy treatments, my skin is a clear as it was in my twenties!

Why everyone loves Morpheus8

Morpheus8 – why do we love it and why is everyone talking about it!

 

The reasons we love this treatment are pretty simple.

Morpheus8 is an amazing treatment for face and body that helps treat the following concerns:

• Acne + acne scarring

• Saggy and loose skin (especially in the jowling area)

• Enlarged pores

• Fine lines + wrinkles

• Poor skin texture

• Uneven skin tone

 

What makes Morpheus8 so special?

It is the dream team combination of radiofrequency energy for skin tightening and microneedling for collagen stimulation that has made this treatment a firm favourite of the clinic.

 

What results have we seen in the last year?

The improvements in our patient’s skin after a course of Morpheus8 treatments has been mind blowing! To have a treatment that not only tightens the skin and contours the lower face, but also improves the condition and feel of the skin is incredible. It is the only treatment in the clinic that every single member of the team has had – and this is because it  really does cater to pretty much all concerns and needs. It is the best anti ageing treatment out there!

 

Morpheus8, HIFU Non Surgical Facelift, Dermal filler, Anti Wrinkle Injections –  what do I actually need?

Every patient is individual and needs a treatment plan that addresses their personal concerns and needs. We love that with Morpheus8 you can combine it with injectable treatments (2 weeks after your Morpheus8 treatment) We particularly love that our patients who are not wanting or ready to go down the injectable route just yet – Morpheus8 gives them natural, long lasting results.

It can be confusing with so many clinics and treatments out there all promising that you can turn the clock back 30 years. Firstly, there is no need for this to be the goal – and is totally unrealistic! We specialise in natural results that make you look like a refreshed version of yourself. You will always still look like you!  Your consultation is so important when choosing to have any treatment. This will ensure you feel comfortable, and have the opportunity to ask all the questions you can think of. This ensures you have the best treatment plan and realistic expectations about the treatment you are having. We’ve seen this successful patient journey so many times, and it fills us with so much joy and happiness when we see how much a treatment can change someone’s life and how they feel about themselves.

 

Would we recommend Morpheus8?

Of course! We love Morpheus8. As a clinic we only bring in treatments that we truly believe work. Whether your concern is jowling, wanting a snatched jawline, improving skin snap back, remodelling your skin texture, or just simply having a non surgical and nin injectable anti ageing treatment – Morpheus8 can target them all in one 45 minute appointment. What more do you need?

Non Surgical Facelift (HIFU)

HIFU: the ultimate non-surgical face lift!

The quest for a way to look more youthful is never ending, one of the concerns I hear about the most is definitely regarding the lower face.  Sagging of the skin, the drooping of jowls, loss of definition in the jawline and cheekbones – to name but a few.  It can be very overwhelming (and sudden!) and feel like a surgical facelift is the only solution.

Fortunately, being part of such a tech savvy generation there are now many ways to reverse ageing, in a much more accessible, non-invasive and safer way than your standard surgical procedure.

What is HIFU & how does it work?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU, is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that is quickly becoming one o the most popular options for those looking to improve their appearance and achieve a more youthful look. HIFU uses high-frequency sound waves to heat and cause trauma in a specific area of the face or body, making it a safe and effective option for addressing a variety of skin concerns.

One of the key benefits of HIFU is that it is a non-invasive procedure, meaning that there are no incisions or anaesthesia required. This makes it an ideal option for those who want to improve their appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgical procedures. Additionally, HIFU is a quick and easy treatment that can be completed in a single session, with minimal recovery time required.

Another benefit of HIFU is that the results can be long-lasting, with many people seeing visible improvement for several months or even years. It is an excellent alternative for those who are not ready for more invasive procedures such as a surgical facelift and want to maintain the result for a longer time.

Overall, HIFU is a safe and effective treatment that can help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgical procedures.

What to expect on the day of your HIFU treatment?

  1. Consultation: Before the treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our skilled practitioners to discuss your concerns and goals, and to ensure that HIFU is the right treatment option for you. They will also give you an idea of what to expect during and after the procedure.
  2. Preparing the skin: Your skin will be cleaned and prepared before the procedure. This will include the application of an ultrasound gel to the target areas to facilitate the transmission of ultrasonic energy.  Your practitioner will draw a map and numbers on your face of where and how deep the treatment will go depending on your own personal anatomy.
  3. The treatment: The HIFU machine is placed on the skin, a button Is pressed, making a slight zapping sound, you may feel a little heat during this where the machine is delivering focused ultrasonic energy to the specific area of the skin, where the tightening and rejuvenation is happening.
  4. This process is repeated as necessary based on your desired results and skin condition. Once the treatment is complete your skin with be cleansed of any excess gel, aftercare will then be applied to protect and moisturise the skin.
  5. The final step: Follow up with your practitioner for evaluation of the results, including any necessary maintenance treatments. This is usually 3 months post treatment.

How will HIFU help you and who is a suitable candidate?

HIFU is suitable for anyone looking for a non-invasive way to improve the appearance of ageing skin, including fine lines and wrinkles, without undergoing surgery. It is often recommended for people with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. You can expect HIFU to help with anything from improving skin texture, firmness, facial contouring, enhancing skin elasticity, and help to reduce any fine lines. It is important to note that results will vary from person to person and may depend on factors such as skin type, the extent of skin damage and the number of treatments received.

What is the downtime and after care of HIFU?

The downtime of HIFU can vary slightly depending on the person, unlike a surgical facelift taking months to heal and a long list of aftercare to follow, HIFU can range from a few hours to a few days. Some common side effects include redness, slight swelling and mild discomfort in the treated area, but these usually resolve quickly. Patients are able to resume normal activities soon after the procedure but are advised to avoid strenuous activities and excessive heat exposure for a few days. It is important to follow the aftercare provided by the medical provider to minimize downtime and optimise results.

Hifu or Ultherapy?

Ultherapy and HIFU are essentially the same treatment, as they are both forms of focused ultrasound. Ultherapy however is the older technology, and we use the Ultraformer 3 which is the more modern device. Although Ultherapy does have ultrasound incorporated, this is essentially the only difference, and when seeing a skilled practitioner is not necessary. Our practitioners have  actually worked with both devices, and we chose Hifu as the sessions were less painful/uncomfortable and the treatment appointments took much less time.

The Skin Booster Buzz

The Skin Booster Buzz

We can all get skin that looks dry and dull after the festive period with late nights, one too many glasses of wine and even travel causing havoc for our skin.  If you want a hydrated, fresher natural look – without any risk – then skin boosters are for you.

Skin boosters are suitable for everyone. This magical solution is injected just beneath the skin, with the main ingredients being hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is in every skin cell in our body, and is needed to hydrate and nourish the top layers of the skin – keeping it looking supple and smooth. By injecting this component directly underneath the skin, you get that air-brushed dewy glow instantly, which develops further over the following weeks.

Perhaps your moisturiser and home care products just aren’t doing the job, and your skin still feels dry and tight? Skin boosters are a great option for you. These boosters can reach areas in the skin that creams can never penetrate. The bonus is the moisture delivered to the skin via a skin booster, is locked in for up to 6 months – keeping your skin healthy and hydrated.

The most popular areas to treat are crepyiness of the face, mainly around the mouth and cheeks upon smiling, and the dreaded tech neck – which causes horizontal lines and poor texture on the neck. Having a maintenance booster every 6 months can dramatically improve your skins elasticity, firmness, and plumpness – meaning less wrinkles in the long run!

The booster of all boosters – the new revolutionary skin treatment has hit London!

So, what’s the Neauvia hype?

You may have heard of Profhilo which has always been a clinic favourite! (It literally can do wonders!) However we are delighted to launch a new breed of skin booster at Look Lovely London – Neauvia Hydro Deluxe. This booster is a revolutionary new treatment which gives 3 times as much goodness in each session, when compared to Profhilo – and contains a highly active and effective combination of hyaluronic acid, peptides and calcium.

We know the benefits of hyaluronic acid (which is the only component in Profhilo), however the additional peptides found in Neauvia, are complex essential proteins that help break down pigmentation to give an even complexion. The final magical component in Neauvia is calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA). This calcium tricks your skin’s repair cells (called fibroblasts) to work harder and produce more elastins and collagen within the dermis. There is no other booster on the market offering this trio of goodness and we’ve seen some mind blowing results!

The effects of Neauvia continue way beyond most boosters, due to the added benefits of CaHA – which continues to stimulate your skin to produce its own collagen. Human collagen lasts longer than man-made collagen so this treatment will just keep on giving. The skin will continue to improve over the months thanks to the perfect combination of hydration, nourishment, and stimulation.

At Look Lovely London we truly believe in results of skin boosters, and we want all our patients to benefit from them. Skin boosters can be used in a variety of ways, which means we can target treat all your concerns – and help choose the best skin booster for you. Skin boosters can also be offered in combination with any other treatment if you are pushed for time.

Skin Booster or Profhilo Package: £600 for two appointments (1 appointment every 4 weeks)

Why not treat your skin over the cold winter months to get your skin glowing for spring?

Hydrafacial or Microneedling with mesotherapy?

THE ANSWER IS – YOU NEED BOTH!

Hydrafacial + microneedling with mesotherapy = skin perfection

Being a big fan of the Wow Facial at Look Lovely London –  I was very surprised when it was suggested that I book for not just one new treatment – but two combined together. Who knew that was even  thing?

Having spent a week in September enjoying some heat abroard (with SPF this time) – it was slightly annoying to arrive back to London to not only rain, but a face covered in small under the skin spots. Having spent the last 9 years of my twenties spending a lot of money on skin treatments and products, I mostly have been able to keep my acne prone skin at bay. However, a week spent tanning and enjoying the pool and sea, caused a bit of havoc for me! Most of us find after summer our skin needs a big boost of hydration to restore it back to its dewy best and now, I not only needed this – but also needed a treatment to calm my skin and reduce my inflammation. The day after landing these small spots seemed to not only get bigger, but more were forming under the skin.

I visited the clinic and was recommend the HydraFacial combined with the micro needling mesotherapy treatment by Marlena. I am always up for trying a new treatment, and was also extremely desperate to get my skin back under control as quickly as I could.

We started with the 6 step HydraFacial to help clear my congestion and calm the skin. I should say it was looking very red pre treatment and the spots under the skin were big especially on my cheek! The peel stage did feel a bit tingly, but I was reassured that was a good sign and the extracting device felt amazing as you know it is pulling out every blackhead and impurity. The LED light was also used to help calm the inflammation as different lights can be used for different concerns.

After this we moved onto the micro needling with mesotherapy stage, where Marlena used different needle depths across my face to give me the best treatment. This section of the treatment was to help rejuvenate my skin and push it towards healing with fresh new skin. The mesotherapy really brightens and gives the skin a glow and as I had the HydraFacial first, we gave it the best cleansed base to work with.  The treatment took about 45 minutes in all (perfect for someone who does not always find the time to book in for treatment) I was then advised to not use any active products for 3 days to allow my skin time to heal. I was slightly red for a few hours following the treatment but nothing major and I did not apply any make up until the following day.

The most important bit now is the results I have had- it took around 4 days for most of my blemishes to literally disappear and somehow even the bigger blemishes went by day 5. I am now at day 6 and even I can’t believe how quickly my skin has healed. It looks so bright and clean, and I even felt confident enough to go to the gym last night without any make up on. Although it is never enjoyable to have breakouts this has led me to fully appreciate the power of a HydraFacial combined with micro needling and mesotherapy. I am already looking forward to my next one.
