botox – anti ageing process

Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire talks about the ageing process.

 

As time passes our skin succumbs to a perfectly natural ageing process. The effects of  pollution, stress, fatigue and toxins leave their mark and the skin loses its suppleness and elasticity. Nothing reflects our age more than the state of our skin.

The key to growing old gracefully is through good living and awareness of your environment. While many of the changes that come with skin can’t be avoided, some can definitely be minimized. First, it helps to have a basic understanding what happens to the skin as it goes through the aging process.

 

Intrinsic Aging 

The skin ages in two key ways: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic aging is genetically predetermined—you can’t avoid it. Eventually, skin gets thinner, drier and less elastic. This happens because we produce less collagen over time. This drop in collagen production also causes skin to sag and is unable to bounce back with weight loss or gain.

 

The reason skin gets dryer and thinner over time is because the dermis (deep layers of the skin) loses its ability to hold or attract water.   On top of this, age causes a marked decrease in the sweat glands and the oil producing sebaceous glands. Oils, water and sweat are the elements of moist, plump skin.

 

Although the extent of these changes varies from person to person, skin ageing usually first becomes apparent in our 30s.

 

 

 

Extrinsic Aging 

Extrinsic aging is directly related to exposure to toxins and environmental elements. As you know, the sun is one of the biggest culprits behind extrinsic aging. It basically intensifies the intrinsic aging process, causing us to look older that our true age. Sun-related aging, called “photo aging” causes fine lines, wrinkles, age spots (due to pigment changes), enlarged pores, broken capillaries and rough, uneven skin tone and texture.

 

Our lifestyle is another factor in extrinsic aging.   For example, cigarette smoking not only speeds up the breakdown of collagen and elastin, it causes the formation of skin-killing free radicals (A chemically active atom). Further, it makes it harder for the skin to repair itself. Poor eating habits will also have an effect. A colorful, well-balanced diet is rich in the antioxidants and anti-inflammatories vital for a healthy complexion.

botox – advanced training

Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire was privileged to be invited by the manufactures of botox to a 2 day advanced training course. He was invited because he was one of their top 20 customers nationwide. The event was held in London and included an overnight stay in a central hotel.

The first day was more content based. We learnt how botox was made, common complications with botox. In the afternoon we refreshed ourselves with a live anatomy section. It is rare these days to see all the nerves and muscles under the skin and was quite interesting to see where our injection goes.

We then retired for our dinner in the evening. Here we mingled with fellow professionals and this was interesting in terms of how other professionals operate their clinics and what treatments they provide. These professionals work from different parts of the country and each of us are unique in terms of what we offer our patients.

The second day was all practical based. We learnt about advanced botox techniques, dermal fillers, skin boosters.

In all it was a mixed 2 days of topics that has added to my options available for my patients. I would like to thank the organisers for organising a wonderful array of topics and speakers.

Botox – testimonial

Here is an excellent testimonial regarding Dr Singh and his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, from one of his highly esteemed peers.

I met the author in 2008 when he won an Award for ‘Best Marketing’ initiative at the Private Practice Awards in 200X. At that stage I had a more active interest in Facial Aesthetics and botox so a conversation with him was fruitful and fun. My own training in Facial Aesthetics and botox very cleared showed that although it could appear that dentistry was intruding into medicine, these techniques are definitely more effectively delivered by dentists in their practices. It’s not meant to be contentious but it is evident when you observe many doctors showing:

 

– their ill ease at simply holding a syringe

-exhibiting the syringe to the patient as they approached to inject around the eye , where we know how to keep it out of sight until delivery

– show their unfamiliarity with calculating dosages to enable correct dilution

-drawing up Lignocaine from a vial into a syringe prior to numbing the face for injecting fillers

 

It materialises that our colleague has substantial experience in the commercial world the key amongst them being property. This experience has given him a fresh approach to the delivery of our professional services, especially in the field of marketing. Serving him well in creating a very successful dental practice with a strong element of facial aesthetics has encouraged the author to take to the stage and begin sharing his vision and strategies with the audience. However, as a profession we tend to be in the ‘cash rich and time poor’ category, so finding the time to travel and spend a day at a meeting to learn more is not everyone’s’ wont. Accordingly, accessing that information in this book not only suits that type of dentist but it also serves as a very useful reference book too.

 

There is absolutely no point embarking along new ways of delivering dentistry unless you can be successful at it. However, as a developing market it is inevitable that some mistakes are made along the journey to success. The author honestly shares the mistakes he made to help prevent the reader from emulating him and to direct time and money into successful and proven marketing strategies. The hope is that when they augment superb delivery of this sought after service it will ensure the investment in Facial Aesthetics and botox pays off. The best part of this book is that that the author does not pretend to be a specialist imparting his special skills to others. One can clearly pick up that this is an experienced practitioner that has learned his art lucratively and is now seeking to share that empathetically with a collegiate style.

Botox in Stevenage, Hertfordshire – anti ageing process

Many patients visit my clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire for botox to slow down the ageing process. If we all learnt a bit more on how the ageing process works, then we would be better educated on how to minimise the effects of ageing.

 

As time passes our skin succumbs to a perfectly natural ageing process. The effects of  pollution, stress, fatigue and toxins leave their mark and the skin loses its suppleness and elasticity. Nothing reflects our age more than the state of our skin.

The key to growing old gracefully is through good living and awareness of your environment. Even though botox can help reduce the signs of ageing, prevention is always better than cure. While many of the changes that come with skin can’t be avoided, some can definitely be minimized. First, it helps to have a basic understanding what happens to the skin as it goes through the aging process.

 

Intrinsic Aging 

The skin ages in two key ways: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic aging is genetically predetermined—you can’t avoid it. Eventually, skin gets thinner, drier and less elastic. This happens because we produce less collagen over time. This drop in collagen production also causes skin to sag and is unable to bounce back with weight loss or gain.

 

The reason skin gets dryer and thinner over time is because the dermis (deep layers of the skin) loses its ability to hold or attract water.   On top of this, age causes a marked decrease in the sweat glands and the oil producing sebaceous glands. Oils, water and sweat are the elements of moist, plump skin.

 

Although the extent of these changes varies from person to person, skin ageing usually first becomes apparent in our 30s. This is the most commonest age we have for our botox patients and this is an ideal time to think about botox.

 

 

 

 

Extrinsic Aging 

Extrinsic aging is directly related to exposure to toxins and environmental elements. As you know, the sun is one of the biggest culprits behind extrinsic aging. It basically intensifies the intrinsic aging process, causing us to look older that our true age. Sun-related aging, called “photo aging” causes fine lines, wrinkles, age spots (due to pigment changes), enlarged pores, broken capillaries and rough, uneven skin tone and texture. I would say most of our botox patients wished they had either stayed out of the sun or used sun protection a lot more.

 

Our lifestyle is another factor in extrinsic aging.   For example, cigarette smoking not only speeds up the breakdown of collagen and elastin, it causes the formation of skin-killing free radicals (A chemically active atom). Further, it makes it harder for the skin to repair itself. Poor eating habits will also have an effect. A colorful, well-balanced diet is rich in the antioxidants and anti-inflammatories vital for a healthy complexion.

 

Botox is a wonderful treatment choice to help us with anti ageing and for more information visit botox hertfordshire or call us on 01438 300111.

botox – post treatment

Following your treatment for botox in hertfordshire, we give out the following advice to maximise the results from the botox.

 

Post Treatment Instructions

  1. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol to prevent headaches

 

  1. Refrain from touching the treated area for 3-4 hours

 

  1. Remain upright for 3-4 hours

 

  1. Do not exercise on day of treatment

 

  1. Avoid sun beds for 7 days

 

  1. No facials/chemical skin peels or laser resurfacing treatment for 7 days

 

  1. The use of tight head gear (crash helmets) should be avoided on the day treatment has taken place

 

How to prolong the life of your treatment…

The following information will help reduce the triggers that can cause premature ageing.

 

  1. Always wear a sun protection factor, the sun breaks down the supportive structure of the skin, it causes pigmentation and fine lines. Use a minimum factor 15 (SPF) daily even in the winter and cloudy days. The UV rays will still affect the skin.
  2. Protect against free radical damage. Free radicals attack your collagen and elastin fibres that make up the structure of the skin. They around us everyday a daily dose of vitamins and antioxidant supplement will minimise this damage.
  3. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and smoking, these all dehydrate the skin and increase the free radical attacks.
  4. Try to relax as much as possible, stress will break down the treatment quicker as your muscles will be tense and fighting against the Botox. Take time to treat your self.

Ask us about ways we can help you maintain the best regime for your skin health. We offer Sun protection products, nutritional supplements and relaxation treatments.

Botox from Stevenage in Hertfordshire

Since I have relocated to my home address in Stevenage, Hertfordshire many patients asked my why I decided to work from home, here I discuss my reasons why and what benefits this has given my patients.

I explain that by working from my converted conservatory, there are a number of benefits to them immediately:

  • Less overheads, therefore I can reduce my fees for botox and you as the patient get much more value for your money
  • Flexible working arrangements – since I am working from home and the clinic is set up, I can see patients I an emergency. This gives you peace of mind of being able to have the botox whenever it best suits you
  • You will still receive the same high standards in patient care, cleanness and cross infection control as you would expect in a normal clinic. We have all the necessary insurance and legal aspects covered. We have our clinical waste managed by a regulated carrier
  • I can spend more time with my patients as there is no time pressure and I can extend my hours as I wish.
  • I have more time now to attend more advanced courses and learn new skills. This has been demonstrated by me now offering – dermaroller, tear trough treatments, advanced fillers and a new skin range coming soon.

 

I wished I had done it years ago. There is however one downside with working from home, I just cant stop eating. When I am busy it is fine, but when I have a gap, I just go into the kitchen and start nibbling away. It is so bad, that my wife has hidden compartments to keep treats for her and our kids and away from me!
