Find Out How You Can Get A Younger Looking Face With This One Secret Trick

Posted on March 24, 2017July 16, 2020 by Davina

We all want to stay looking young and healthy but even with the best intentions, regular exercise and a balanced diet, it can be difficult to stop the signs of aging altogether, particularly on the face. Lines around the eyes, or crow’s feet as they are also known, can age a person’s appearance especially when they smile, and frown lines aren’t much better for the self-confidence.

Anti-wrinkle treatment, or Botox® as it’s also known, has become exceptionally popular over the years. Men and women of all ages have undergone this procedure in order to stay looking young, fresh and wrinkle free.

We’ve put together this short guide to explain what’s involved in anti-wrinkle injections, before and after customer experiences and how the injections work to iron out your skin, giving you a smoother and younger appearance.

What’s involved in anti-aging injections?

If you’re new to Botox® it can be a bit daunting if you’re not sure what’s involved in the procedure. Botox® works to reduce overall movement in your muscles, giving your skin the opportunity to relax over time, and reversing the signs of aging as a result.

Botox® is extremely commonplace these days with many celebrities having regular anti-wrinkle injections, something not all of them might confess to! Since the procedure itself is so quick and easy, our customers can come and see us in their lunch break without anyone even knowing that they have undergone treatment.

Botox® involves a series of a few small injections to the affected area, whether it be around the eyes, the forehead or other areas on the face. Once the injections have been administered, the Botox® formula gets straight to work and results are seen within just a couple of weeks.

How much do they cost?

When it comes to anti-aging treatment, London is home to many Botox® clinics, each offering the service at varying costs. Here at Look Lovely London, we operate a fair and transparent pricing policy for all our customers. For one area of Botox® we charge £140, for two areas it’s £210 and for three areas it’s £270.

Are there any side effects associated with anti wrinkle treaments?

Some customers who are particularly sensitive to pain experience minor discomfort when the needles are inserted into the skin but this is very minimal and the procedure itself is very quick so any discomfort will be short lived. Bruising is pretty rare but if you do experience any minor bruising, this can be easily covered with concealer and will disappear within about three days.

What do our customers think about these treatments?

Without exception, our customers are thrilled with the results and enjoy having fresher, younger and smoother skin, and without the need for expensive face creams. Many of them also opt to return for further treatment, usually about four months after their last treatment, which is when movement tends to return to the muscles.

Which areas can be treated with anti wrinkle injections?

Most customers choose to undergo Botox® on the face since that is where signs of aging appear the most. However, Botox® treatment is also used to treat excessive sweating in the underarms, known as Hyperhidrosis, and on the necklines to lift aging skin and improve its appearance.

If you’re new to Botox® and you’re feeling nervous about undergoing anti-wrinkle injections, our team is on hand to put your mind at rest. You’ll be offered a free consultation before your treatment which will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about Botox® treatment and our team will be able to explain the process in more detail with you.

They can also discuss a treatment plan with you, giving you advice on which areas to treat and explaining when you may need to return for further treatment if you wish. If you have any questions about anti-aging treatment now or in the future, our friendly and helpful team is available on 020 3199 8245.

Get back in control of the aging clock today and take your first steps towards being the very best version of yourself!

Discover How You Can Fight Excessive Underarm Sweat In Under 30 Minutes

Posted on February 2, 2017July 16, 2020 by Davina

We all like to feel confident in our own skin but sometimes our bodies can catch us out, and often at the most inopportune moments. Many of us struggle to manage the day-to-day inconvenience of excessive sweating and it can cause a person deep embarrassment, especially if they suffer from excessive sweating around the armpit area.

Managing excessive sweating in our increasingly busy, modern lives, is very difficult. We should all be able to exercise with confidence or wear a special top on a night out without feeling anxious about ending the evening with a top covered in embarrassing sweat marks.

If you find yourself reaching for the deodorant far too regularly, the great news is that there is a treatment available which targets excessive sweating, or ‘hyperhidrosis’ as it is also known.

So, what’s involved in this treatment? We’ve put together this short guide to highlight what the process entails, how it works and how much it costs.

What is involved in treating excessive sweating in the underarm area?

Surprisingly, it’s Botox®. You may well have heard about Botox® injections being used to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines on a person’s face but did you know that Botox® is also extremely effective in targeting excessive sweating?

Many patients are now discovering that Botox® is a great way of reducing activity in their sweat glands, meaning that embarrassing sweat marks on a top can now be a thing of the past.

How much does Botox® for hyperhidrosis cost?

If you suffer from excessive sweating in the armpits, treatment in the UK is readily available but costs vary from clinic to clinic. Here at Look Lovely London, we charge just £450 to treat both armpits. The procedure itself takes just 25 minutes and we’re sure that you’ll be delighted with the results.

Are there any side effects to the treatment?

When it comes to Botox® for excessive sweating treatment, side effects are usually pretty minimal. Most patients don’t experience any side effects at all other than minor bruising which can sometimes appear where the needles have been administered. But since these are on your armpits they will not be visible to anyone, meaning that you can undergo Botox® in your lunch break without anyone knowing!

What happens on the day of your treatment?

One of our experienced and highly qualified team members will talk you through the procedure in full and this will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have. Some patients who have not undergone Botox® injections before can feel slightly anxious about the procedure and our team members are all experienced in reassuring nervous patients. The procedure will not take place until you are fully confident and ready.

The underarm area will be fully cleansed and then the Botox® injections will be placed no more than 3mm into the skin. Some patients feel a small sting when the needle is inserted and others don’t feel anything at all.

You may also notice small bumps where the needle enters the skin but these usually disappear within about ten minutes.

How long do the results last for?

Generally speaking, results from Botox® injections to the underarms can last up to nine months. This is why the procedure appeals so much to patients suffering with hyperhidrosis since they are able to carry on with their normal lives and enjoy the effects of the treatment for a long time. If they then want to return for further treatment then they can opt to do so.

Once you have tried Botox® to treat hyperhidrosis, we’re pretty confident that you’ll be delighted with the results. Many patients contact us to share their hyperhidrosis ‘before and after’ stories with us, and they always say that they only wish they’d known about Botox® sooner!

If you are struggling with excessive sweating and you don’t know where to turn, give our friendly and helpful team a call today on 0203 199 8236 and book a free consultation. We’re on hand to talk you through your concerns and give you all the information you need on the procedure.

Liberate yourself from a potentially life-long issue and fight back against hyperhidrosis for good!

Find Out How To Take Years Off The Clock In Just 10 Minutes With This One Simple Trick

Posted on December 1, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

Let’s face it: all of us at some point in our lives have felt insecure about the way that we look. Comparing ourselves to friends, family members and, of course, celebrities, makes us focus on our flaws and dream about all the things we would change about ourselves if we could wave a magic wand.

Of course, there are many cosmetic surgeries out there which can help to address your perceived flaws, either on the face or on the body. Whether it’s a nose job, breast implants or tummy tuck, making the decision to go under the knife is a big one and should not be taken lightly. Here at Look Lovely London, we believe that a lot can be achieved by making minor adjustments to your body and face, simply by undergoing a few non-surgical procedures designed to improve your appearance and self-esteem. No long-lasting recovery needed, no hefty price tag and no scarring. Sound good? Read on.

Why are Botox® injections so popular?

There was once a time when Botox® injections were reserved only for the rich and famous, whether or not they admitted to it! But over the course of time, Botox® has become far more commonplace and is not only used to manage and reduce the signs of ageing, it can also be used to effectively treat medical problems such as excessive saliva production or sweating around the underarm area.

However, one of the most common areas which can be treated by Botox® is the eye area. When we start to age, our skin loses its elasticity and starts to sag over time, creating wrinkles and fine lines. When we smile or laugh, lines appear around the eye area and these can add years to our actual age and have a real impact on our self-esteem.

Botox® around eyes is so popular simply because it works! By undergoing a few small injections which are designed to prevent movement in the muscles around the eye area, your skin appears more smooth and soft and can make you look younger, almost immediately.

Are there any side effects associated with Botox® injections?

When it comes to Botox®, side effects are usually minimal. Some patients experience minor bruising to the treated area but this is fairly uncommon and will usually fade pretty quickly. If you’re worried about bruising, you can rest assured that most bruising can usually be easily covered up with concealer and tends not to last more than a couple of days.

You also might notice a few small bumps where the injections have been administered but these usually disappear within about ten minutes. Part of the appeal of Botox® is that it doesn’t take much time at all to administer and you can get on with the rest of your day without anyone knowing!

How quickly will results appear?

Although many patients report that they can see results in just a few days after treatment, the wrinkle-relaxing injections actually take ten days in total to take full effect. After two weeks, you will really notice how smooth and fresh your eye area looks and these results will usually last for three to four months which is when you’ll start to notice more movement in the muscles. If you want to return for further treatment after this time then you can do so. Most patients love the effects of Botox® so much that they usually choose to return for more treatment but the decision is, of course, entirely yours.

How much does Botox® cost per area?

Depending on the areas treated, price tags for Botox® can vary from clinic to clinic. Here at Look Lovely London, we charge just £140 for one area, £210 for two areas and £270 for three areas.

If you’re new to Botox® or you’re already an avid fan of anti-wrinkle injections, our London-based clinic is here for you. Give us a call today on 0203 199 8236 and find out how a few injections around your eye area can take years off your age in just a couple of weeks!

Learn The Secret To Removing Vertical Neck Wrinkles That Celebrities Don’t Want You To Know

Posted on November 2, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

None of us want to look or feel older than we are. And with the rise in celebrity press coverage showcasing men and women of all ages looking young and healthy, it’s no wonder we’re all searching for the secret to youthful skin.

Smooth line-free foreheads, disappearing wrinkles and young, fresh skin can take years off a person’s visible age. But a youthful appearance is not just about a wrinkle-free face. One of the most common complaints amongst our patients is the ageing effect of the platysmal band, also known as the vertical lines on a person’s neck.

Since we receive so many enquiries about how to reduce the appearance of prominent necklines, we’ve put together this handy guide to explain a bit more about how anti-wrinkle injections can help.

What is the platysmal band?

Put simply, the vertical lines which appear on your neck when you clench your teeth or tighten your jaw, is your platysmal band. The appearance of a prominent platysmal band can often age a person and can result in self-confidence issues.

Many of our patients believe that the only way to reduce the appearance of an ageing platysmal band is to undergo invasive, expensive and painful cosmetic surgery, known as a neck lift. While this procedure can certainly make a big difference, we recommend the much less invasive and less costly procedure of Botox® treatment. If you’re suffering from self-esteem issues as a result of a prominent platysmal band, Botox® is by far one of the most effective treatments.

How does Botox® improve the appearance of a platysmal band?

If you’re interested in the difference Botox® can make to platysmal bands, before and after pictures on the internet will speak for themselves. Botox® injections work gently to reduce the harsh appearance of a platysmal band, softening the area to make it much less prominent. Results can last between three and six months so you don’t have to worry about fitting in regular injections into your busy schedule and the procedure itself takes hardly any time at all.

How much does Botox® for the platysmal band cost?

Since there are many practitioners specialising in treating platysmal bands, Botox® costs can vary from clinic to clinic. Here at Look Lovely London, our rates for treating the platysmal band start at just £350.

If you’d like to get an exact idea on cost, book yourself in for a free, no-obligation consultation where one of our trained doctors will discuss your treatment plan with you. Our policy is to always work flexibly around your budget, as opposed to over-selling products or treatments that you don’t necessarily need.

Do Botox® injections hurt?

Most patients do not experience any pain associated with Botox® injections. You may feel slight discomfort when the needle is administered but since the procedure only lasts for a few minutes, any discomfort will be short lived. If you’re particularly sensitive to pain or worried about experiencing any discomfort, just let the team at Look Lovely London know and they will talk this through with you in more detail.

Does Botox® cause any bruising?

Some patients experience minor bruising to the treated area but this can usually be covered up with concealer and fades within about three days.

Which other areas can be treated with Botox®?

Botox® tends to be used most commonly on the face. Frown lines, crow’s feet, smokers’ lines and forehead lines can be easily treated with Botox® and with long-lasting effects, too. In addition to treating the face and neck, Botox® can also be used to minimise the effects of excessive sweating in the underarm area. With so many uses, it’s no surprise that Botox® is so popular!

How long do Botox® results last for?

Not only do results last for up to six months, there is also evidence to suggest that Botox® treatment can have a cumulative effect, meaning that you’ll need fewer treatments over time.

If you’re worried about the appearance of your platysmal band and you’d like more information, just contact our helpful and friendly team on 0203 199 8236 and they will arrange for you to meet with one of our skilled doctors.

Give yourself a much-needed boost of confidence and treat yourself to a new, younger-looking you!

Find Out How Easy it is to Get An Anti Wrinkle Treatment Done During Your Lunch

Posted on October 18, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

Fast Botox® on your lunch break

We’re all a little intrigued by Botox®. Celebrities of all ages grace our TV screens or magazine front covers every day with young and fresh skin and, whether they admit to it or not, it’s pretty safe to assume that Botox® is one of the reasons that they look so good.

But what exactly is Botox® treatment? How much does it cost? How does it work? Let’s take a closer look at what’s involved and how you can fit regular Botox® treatment into your working week with minimal fuss or interruption to your busy schedule.

What is Botox® and how quickly will you see the results?

As skin starts to age, it can lose its elasticity. This happens with natural ageing but there are also lifestyle choices which can affect your skin’s appearance, such as smoking, drinking excessive alcohol and subjecting your skin to too much sun. All of these factors can result in unwanted wrinkles and Botox® is designed to help.

Botox® reduces overall muscle movement which then gives your skin the opportunity to relax and repair itself. Simply having a few non-invasive injections will make a lot of difference to your overall appearance and the results can be seen within 10-14 days. Patients who undergo Botox® can then choose whether or not to return for further treatment, usually 3-4 months after the initial injections when muscle movement starts to return to the treated area.

How long does it take to undergo Botox® treatment?

Since Botox® injections are quick, you can easily fit in an appointment on your lunch break and return to the office without anyone knowing that you’ve had any treatment. Some patients experience minor bumps around the treated area but this usually subsides after about ten minutes, leaving them to carry on with the rest of their day.

Which areas of the body can be treated with Botox®?

Most patients tend to treat areas on the face, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines. You can also treat other areas of the body, such as the neck and armpits. The latter treatment is for patients who suffer from excessive sweating in the armpit area.

How much does Botox® cost?

Depending on how many areas you want to treat, prices will vary. If you want to treat just one area then the cost is £140.00. For two areas it is £210.00 and for three it costs £270.00. Botox® treatment for excessive sweating costs £450.00 for both armpits and prices for treating vertical neck lines start at £350.00.

Where can you undergo Botox® treatment?

If you’re looking for Botox® injection treatment, London offers a range of clinics to choose from. As with any cosmetic or surgical procedure, doing your research is absolutely key before you decide which clinic to use. Our team at Look Lovely London is experienced and qualified in a range of treatments and offers a free consultation which is an ideal opportunity for you to ask any questions. We’ll talk you through the Botox® procedure and make sure you’re feeling completely comfortable about the treatment.

Why is London one of the UK’s most popular areas for Botox®?

Many of us lead busy lives and we want to know where we can receive fast Botox® treatment. London clinics are well set up for this, since public transport is so efficient and regular, so you can easily find a local clinic to you if you’re short on time. So, if you’re looking for Botox® injections on a lunch break, London offers a variety of choice.

If you’re new to Botox® treatment, give our friendly and helpful team at Look Lovely London a call. Our dedicated team will arrange a free, no-obligation consultation where you can discuss the possibility of having Botox® treatment. You can use the consultation to ask any questions you might have about Botox® and ask for guidance on which areas you should treat.

Rescue & Revive Your Appearance Instantly With Anti Wrinkle Injections

Posted on September 2, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

It’s all fine time telling a tale, but when it comes to our appearances, we’d rather it left our skin alone. Thankfully, holding onto a fresh and youthful-looking appearance is no longer a problem, thanks to the ease and affordability of anti-wrinkle injections.

Along with dermal fillers, wrinkle treatment is one of Look Lovely London’s specialist areas with our experienced doctors using the procedure as a way to combat the signs of ageing and leave customers with fresher and younger-looking skin.

Where can anti-wrinkle injections be administered?

We understand that every customer is different, which is why we have expanded our anti-wrinkle services to treat the following areas: –

Forehead lines

Forehead lines are the horizontal lines across the top of the head, most often caused by the raising of eyebrows or surprised expressions. We can gently smooth these lines with just 4-6 very small injections.

Frown lines

Concentration or anger can cause deep frown lines to form in between the eyebrows with the lines becoming permanent over time. We work to prevent the formation and deepening of these grooves with anti-wrinkle injections, usually on a twice-a-year basis.

Eye lines (crow’s feet)

Smiling shouldn’t receive a punishment, but over time, it sadly has an effect on our appearances, causing fine lines to appear around the eyes, which in turn makes the eyes look smaller. We work with anti-wrinkle injections to return the brightness to the eye area without preventing you from smiling naturally.

Smoker’s lines

Over time, smoking or ageing can cause ‘puckered’ lines around the lips, but we gently administer anti-wrinkle injections in very small doses around these lines to soften them.

Other

In addition to the popular treatments listed above, we also administer anti-wrinkle injections to treat bunny lines (the horizontal wrinkles that appear across the nose bridge), protuberant pointy chins (ageing can cause ridging towards the lower face and chin), vertical necklines and the loss of definition in the jaw area (Nefertiti lift). We can also administer anti-wrinkle treatment in the armpits to reduce excess sweating.

What should I expect during and after anti-wrinkle treatment?

Ahead of your procedure, our specialist doctor will discuss your needs and concerns in detail before deciding on the most suitable treatment and the amount of dosage required. On the day, you will have the chance to ask any other questions about the procedure. The goal is to make you feel as relaxed as possible about undergoing treatment.

The doctor will cleanse the treatment area before administering the product with a fine needle no more than 3mm into the skin. A small stinging sensation may be felt upon treatment but this will clear within seconds. Little bumps may temporarily appear, but typically go away within ten minutes. Treatment takes just fifteen minutes making it more convenient than ever.

After leaving the surgery, you should expect the treatment to take full effect within ten days. By the second week, your skin will feel noticeably smoother. After three or four months, the body naturally breaks down the product, which is when customers generally come back for further treatment. Studies and experience have proved that the effects last longer after each consecutive treatment.

Will the effects look natural?

We are strongly against the ‘fake’ look, which is why we pride ourselves on our gentle approach for a natural-looking treatment. If you’re anxious about the procedure, we offer the option of ‘Baby Botox’, a smaller dose of treatment that can be topped up two weeks later if needed. The procedure is very safe and there have been no long-term adverse effects reported. It’s no coincidence that 96% of our clients return for further treatment.

How much does anti-wrinkle treatment cost?

Look Lovely London charges just £140 to treat one area of the skin, £210 for two areas or £270 for three. Excessive sweat treatment costs £450 for both armpits, while a Nefertiti lift starts from £255 and vertical neckline treatment starts from £350. For advice on which treatment option is most suitable for you or if you have any questions about our procedures, please call 0203 199 8236 to speak to our friendly team of staff and book a no-obligation consultation for free.

Wave Goodbye to Neck Wrinkles with This One Easy Step

Posted on August 15, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

Vertical neck lines: how to combat this common problem

Getting older goes hand in hand with the onset of many skin elasticity issues – crow’s feet, permanent wrinkles and bags around the eyes to name a few. Another common complaint as the years roll on is the appearance of vertical neck lines, which become accentuated each time we clench our teeth and tighten our jaw and worsen every time we speak, swallow, stretch and expose our skin to the sun.

At Look Lovely London, we are committed to reducing and eliminating the appearance of these fine lines and we offer competitive and accessible packages to ensure that everyone has easy access to the best treatment for vertical neck lines.

What kind of treatment for vertical neck lines do you offer?

At Look Lovely London, we offer anti-wrinkle injections (more commonly known as Botox®) to help combat permanent lines and wrinkles, loose skin, dull complexions and any other skin complaints caused by excess sun exposure, smoking, alcohol consumption, dehydration and general ageing. Anti-wrinkle injections can be applied to various areas of the skin and one of the areas we most commonly treat is the neck. Botox® works at reducing the appearance of fine lines in the neck, resulting in smoother and firmer skin, and thus a more youthful appearance.

Why seek treatment for vertical neck lines?

Vertical neck lines not only result in an older appearance, but they make our complexions appear dull and lifeless and, if left untreated, can increase the visibility of our Platysmal bands (the two strips of muscles running up the left and right side of the neck). Anti-wrinkle injections in the neck help to prevent the need for a Nefertiti lift (a neck lift) by softening the Platysmal bands and reducing any vertical lines running down the neck.

How much does the treatment cost?

The cost to fix vertical lines in necks varies depending on the nature of treatment required but generally prices start from £350. The skin naturally begins to break down the product around three months after the treatment has been administered, so we recommend coming back for a second dose of treatment from four months onwards. Research shows that the effects of the injections are longer lasting and more effective after each consecutive treatment, so your cosmetic expenditure will decrease over time.

What happens on the day of my treatment?

By the time the day of treatment arrives, you will already have undergone a professional and personalised consultation, where one of our highly qualified doctors will have assessed your medical history and explained the treatment in full. When you arrive for treatment, you will have the chance to ask any outstanding questions and then, once you are comfortable, the doctor will cleanse your neck area and administer the needles no more than 3mm into your skin. You may feel small bumps on the skin where the product has been injected but these usually disappear within 10 minutes or so.

What can I expect after the treatment?

After around 10 days, you will notice the lines in your neck become softer and less defined with the skin feeling more supple and appearing more youthful. Over several months, the skin begins to break down the treatment, which can result in the reappearance of vertical neck lines. It is for this reason that we recommend coming back approximately every four months during the first year of treatment.

Are there any risks with the treatment?

Anti-wrinkle injections have been proven a safe and effective procedure and we make it our mission to carry out only the finest and most personalised treatments on all of our customers. For those concerned, we offer the option of ‘Baby Botox®’, which is a smaller dose of treatment, followed by a two-week review and a further small dose if required.
When the injections are administered, customers may experience some mild discomfort for up to five minutes with the majority of customers finding no bruising afterwards. For those that do, the bruising generally clears within a few days and can be covered with makeup. As the treatment is naturally broken down by the skin, the appearance of the neck will gradually return to normal, at which point you can decide whether you would like to return for further treatment.

If you are concerned about the procedure, would like to learn more about it or are looking to schedule a consultation, please contact our friendly team on 0203 199 8236 and we can kick-start the process of making your dream of having a fresher and more youthful appearance a reality.

Drop the Double Chin and Get A Smooth Neck with A Nefertiti Lift

Posted on August 2, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

Nefertiti lift: the neck treatment that’s taking the cosmetic world by storm

Turning back the clock is no mean feat. As well as crow’s feet, sagging skin and general wrinkles, a common skin problem we encounter as we grow older is the increasing visibility of Platysmal bands: the two strips of muscles running up from the base of our necks. This is where the Nefertiti lift comes in.

Named after the Egyptian queen known and admired for her good bone structure and long and elegant neck, the quick, easy and increasingly popular treatment works to re-establish the jaw line and slim down the lower face. And, thanks to Look Lovely London, it has never been easier to access a Nefertiti lift. London is home to a wide range of cosmetic clinics, but our commitment to affordable and high-quality procedures makes us stand out from the rest.

Why have a Nefertiti lift?

As we grow older, our faces change from triangular (high cheekbones with a defined jaw line) to a shape that is more square-like with the jaw becoming heavier and a double chin commonly forming. A Nefertiti lift (or neck lift) offers an effective solution for this issue. Look Lovely London also offers treatments to reduce any vertical lines on the neck, which prevents the onset of Platysmal bands and thus, the subsequent requirement for a neck lift. Results usually last around 3-6 months depending on the condition of the skin and how often the treatment is administered.

What happens during a Nefertiti lift procedure?

The Nefertiti lift procedure begins by ensuring that the neck muscles are properly relaxed. Once they are, multiple injections of Botox® are applied along the lower jaw line and down the side of the neck, which works to improve the definition of the jaw line, rebalance the underlying muscles and thus create a visible lift. Treatment generally takes just 15 minutes, allowing customers to effortlessly slot in the procedure into their busy schedules.

How long do the effects of Nefertiti lifts last?

It usually takes around 10 days for customers to appreciate the full effects of a Nefertiti lift. After this, the muscles begin to break down the treatment and after three to four months, customers may notice the neck gradually returning to its former state. It is for this reason that we recommend that customers return for a second treatment from four months onwards depending on their preferences. Research shows that results tend to last longer after each consecutive treatment.

What will happen on the day of treatment?

Before undergoing treatment, you will be invited to a thorough consultation with one of our highly experienced doctors, who will take the time to review your medical history and assess whether you are suitable for the procedure. The treatment will be thoroughly discussed and explained and you will have the chance to ask any outstanding questions about the Nefertiti lift. Once you are comfortable and ready, the treatment will begin.

The doctor will first cleanse the neck area before administering the injections no more than 3mm into the skin. A small sting upon needle entry may be felt, but this usually clears within seconds. Once the treatment is complete, customers may notice small bumps where the product has been injected, but these generally disappear within ten minutes.

Does the Nefertiti lift hurt?

As with all Botox® treatments, customers will experience some mild discomfort in the neck area for a maximum of five minutes. Most people don’t experience bruising, but those that do notice skin returning back to normal within three days after the Nefertiti lift. Before and after differences in the neck are vast, so most customers soon forget about any discomfort experienced.

How much does a Nefertiti lift cost?

It’s difficult to present the exact cost of a Nefertiti lift as the scale of treatment varies from person to person. For basic treatment, prices start from as little as £255 and for those looking to prevent the onset of Platysmal bands, we offer competitive pricing starting from £350.

Take the first step to an elegant and more youthful neck and jaw line by calling 0203 199 8236, where our friendly team will be able to schedule your first consultation and assist with any questions.

Don’t Sweat It – How You Can Make Excess Underarm Sweating A Thing Of The Past

Posted on July 21, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

Find out now how you can fix excessive underarm sweating with Botox and have lasting results in under a week.

Many people hear the word Botox® and they think of reduced fine lines and wrinkles and a smoother, more youthful complexion. While it’s true that this wonder treatment can shave years off your appearance, it has another extremely popular use: it can help to change the lives of people who suffer from excessive sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis).

Excessive sweating, especially under the arms, can cause huge discomfort and embarrassment. But Look Lovely London is here to make hyperhidrosis a thing of your past. Although nobody can cure excessive sweating for good, the right treatments at the right time can help you live your life to the fullest – no sweat!

Botox® injections for sweating armpits

First of all, if you’re considering Botox® for excessive sweating anywhere, it’s critical that you choose a trained clinician to perform the procedure. Your doctor needs to have had special training in order to make the right injections with the right quantities in the right places.

Excessive sweating can occur all over the body, but the most common sites for hyperhidrosis are under the arms, under the breasts, on the forehead, and on the hands and feet. Sweating at any of these sites causes daily problems and embarrassment, but a quick Botox® procedure can completely turn things around. In fact, using Botox® to treat excessive sweating has been proven to reduce sweating by around 85% under the arms, with similarly impressive results elsewhere.

How does it work?

There’s a particular chemical in the body which is responsible for switching the sweating reflex on. Botox® works by temporarily blocking this chemical and therefore stopping or interrupting its secretion and improving or even temporarily curing hyperhidrosis at the site.

The Botox® is inserted at a very shallow level and lies just beneath the surface of the skin.

How is it done?

First, you will have an in-depth consultation with your doctor to identify the problem area(s) and talk through any questions or concerns you might have. During your treatment, a fine needle is used to skillfully inject the Botox® in specific locations, usually in a grid-like pattern.

If you’re worried about feeling the needle going in, your doctor can give you a mini ice pack to numb the areas that are going to be treated. At Look Lovely London, we also give clients ice packs to take home if they’re experiencing any discomfort after Botox® injections.

When will I notice results?

You will start to notice a difference within two to four days, but you might find that your symptoms continue to improve over the following days. The full effects of your Botox® treatment will be evident after two weeks.

How do I prepare for treatment?

With most hyperhidrosis Botox® treatments, all you need to do is show up on the day of your appointment. However, you’re having Botox® injections for sweating armpits, most clinicians recommend that you don’t shave your armpits for at least three to four days before your treatment is booked in.

How long will it last?

For most people, the effects of this treatment should last anywhere between four and 12 months. Some people find that the effects can last as long as 14 months. Plenty of studies have been performed to ensure that repeat treatment of Botox® for sweating is totally safe, so you can enjoy consistent results for as long as you want. In fact, a very high percentage of our clients here at Look Lovely London return for repeat treatment.

How to Avoid Becoming a Botox Horror Story

Posted on March 16, 2016July 16, 2020 by Davina

With any cosmetic treatment, you’re bound to be feeling a little apprehensive, particularly if this is your first treatment. It can be difficult to know who to trust and which questions to ask. If you’re a Botox® first-timer, the first thing you should do is some research.

There are now many practitioners out there who can offer Botox® treatment to consumers across the world. Here in London there are many clinics offering a range of cosmetic treatments and the prices vary dramatically. Some manage to undercut other practitioners by offering the treatment at a lower cost. Others claim to be industry leaders in the procedure, with sometimes very little goods to back it up. When it comes to cost of Botox® treatment, it can be difficult to know where to start. How much should it cost? Should the practitioners have certain accreditations or qualifications? How often should Botox® be administered?

For the reasons above, it can be daunting to know who to trust, which is why our advice is always to spend time doing your research.

This short guide will help you to make an informed decision to avoid your first Botox® experience being the subject of a Botox® horror story.

Accreditation

Without exception, accreditation and qualifications are what sets any practitioner apart from its competitors, no matter what the treatment or procedure.

Here at Look Lovely London, we take quality standards extremely seriously. That’s why our lead GP, DrDavina Wilson, has recently signed up as a fully-fledged member of Save Face. As the only regulatory body for aesthetic medicine, Save Face expects all members to comply and adhere to quality standards to ensure safe administration of all non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

DrDavina Wilson and Look Lovely London have been fully checked by Save Face to ensure that their qualifications and training are to a high standard. The Save Face team has also visited the clinic to ensure that patients experience high levels of cleanliness and safety. They also ensure that Look Lovely London provides a welcoming environment for patients to enjoy.

With around only 40 other practitioners in central London with the Save Face accreditation, Look Lovely London has been successfully awarded membership so our patients can rest assured that they are in good hands. Given its scope and importance, Save Face is also soon to be acknowledged as a vital regulatory body for patient safety by The Department of Health and Care Quality Commission.

Cost and quality of care

Here at Look Lovely London, we like to strike the right balance between quality of care and cost effectiveness. Many practitioners will offer treatment at a low cost but the quality of care can often be compromised. In order to avoid receiving poor-quality treatment, we always advise that you look into any practitioner’s previous history as well as finding testimonials from other patients. Low cost does not always mean cost effective. Price and quality of care should be of equal importance so we advise that you do not make any compromises on either.

Treatment plans

Another good reason to do your research is because Botox® can sometimes make a person’s face look “frozen”. We’ve all seen the press coverage of celebrity men and women sporting a smooth unlined face with little or no facial expression. This can happen when Botox® is administered too regularly.

Our team strongly advises against having Botox® too regularly. We want our patients to leave our clinic looking young, fresh faced and, above all, natural. If you choose a practitioner who advises very regular treatment but you’re looking for a natural look, we would urge you to discuss this with them in more detail. As the patient, you can decide when and how much Botox® treatment you have, so just remember that you are in control. Our team at Look Lovely London will never advise you to have too much treatment and we’ll happily talk through your treatment plan with you until you feel fully confident in us.

We hope that this guide will help you to choose the right practitioner for you. We’re delighted to be members of Save Face and if you’d like more information on the accreditation, just visit their website www.saveface.co.uk.
