In the line of Beauty

February 1, 2012 by

The Guardian

Seeing your figure finally look the way you want it to is incredible. As more and more women toy with the idea of cosmetic procedures, Clare Marfleet talks about the rationale behind her own decision.

Clare Marfleet, 33, from London, is medical manager at The Private Clinic of Harley Street, a centre specialising in non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.

My background is in nursing, but I left the NHS eight years ago to work in a private-laser treatment clinic. It shaped my view of cosmetic medicine. I got to know the practitioners, and how skilled they were. I also witnessed the fantastic results clients and colleagues were getting.

The first treatment I had, six years ago, was laser hair removal. I was fed up with constantly shaving and skin irritation, particularly around my bikini line. I wasn’t earning a great deal, so the treatment was relatively expensive, but 10 years of waxing would probably amount to the the same.

Since the treatment, I’ve shaved once every six months and any hair re-growth is very fine. It gave me a big confidence boost and saved lots of time.

The experience was so positive that I had photo rejuvenation two years later. Having suffered from mild acne and sun damage, I’ve never had the best skin, and the treatment is really good for evening-out skin tone. I was thrilled with the result.

Since joining the clinic as medical manager three years ago, I’ve had further procedures including pixel treatment,which improves complexion, skin texture and tone, acne scars and wrinkles, and dermal filler around my top lip. I wasn’t worried about having an injection because I’ve never seen an adverse reaction and the hyaluronic acid injected is produced naturally in the body, gradually breaking down over time. The biggest procedure I’ve had is vaser lipo, a fat removal treatment. Pot bellies are a family trait and I always hated mine. No diet or exercise plan ever made a difference and it affected my body confidence and wardrobe choices. I’d never wear a bikini, or low-rise jeans, and if I wore a tight-fitting dress I’d put unattractive, support pants underneath.

I gave the treatment plenty of thought, and discussed it with my partner, Adrian, who was completely supportive. I have faith in the doctors I work with and procedures like vaser lipo don’t carry the same inherent risks as invasive cosmetic surgery under general anaesthesia.

In early 2009 I had the treatment under local anaesthetic. It took 90 minutes to break down the areas of fat around my abdomen, using a probe inserted through small incisions in my abdomen.

Apart from feeling some pushing and pulling, it wasn’t painful. They actually showed me the fatty deposits they’d removed, using gentle suction.

I only needed two days off work to recover and as the treatment leaves the collagen matrix of the skin intact, healing is fast. I did have some swelling and bruising, but the results were apparent within days; for the first time, my stomach was flatter. Looking in the mirror and seeing your figure finally look the way you want it to is incredible. I’ve since been on holiday to Crete with my girlfriends and wore a bikini on the beach for the first time. The Bridget Jones pants are history and my confidence has sky-rocketed.

Like me, the vast majority of women who come to the clinic want to make the most of their looks, rather than making huge changes. It’s an extension of the beauty salon and I regard the treatments I’ve had as maintenace. Unlike invasive surgery, you don’t spend thousands of pounds or take weeks off work.

Images of Leslie Ash and Pete Burns are extreme examples of cosmetic treatments gone wrong. I would never put myself at risk and most women I know and work with would only have cosmetic treatment after being properly consulted. It should always be an informed choice.

New technologies, with results as good as surgery, mean there is less reason than ever to go under the knife. As treatments become popular, prices get competitive, so they are becoming more accessible too. Our clinic has experienced a marked increase in demand and we’re expanding as a result.

Like most women, I worry about ageing and the industry I work in does compound that fear. I don’t relish the thought of sagging skin, but I’m happy to look my age. I don’t have cosmetic treatments because I want people to think I’m 10 years younger; I have them because I want to look, and feel, good.

How to remove and minimise the appearance of wrinkles?

December 29, 2018 by Julia Morgan Leave a Comment

Fine lines and wrinkles are the main signs of ageing that you may want to erase or delay their appearance. There are many non-surgical treatments available to tackle this issue and that will help achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

In this blog post, we will be addressing the most efficient non-surgical treatments to improve the appearance of the skin, remove and delay the signs of ageing.

Wrinkle Injections

Wrinkle injections are a non-invasive procedure which consists in injecting small doses of a high- quality toxin called Botulinum, which is FDA approved for medical and cosmetic use. This procedure is used to relax the muscle which causes the creation of wrinkles and fine lines giving a smooth and rejuvenated appearance.

Wrinkle injections not only are used to treat existing wrinkles but also are able to prevent the formation of new ones.

Wrinkles injection can be applied in various areas such as:

  • Around the eyebrows resulting in a simulation of an eyebrow lift.
  • Forehead to remove the wrinkles on the forehead areas as well as frown lines.
  • Crows Feet, around the eye area.
  • In between the eyes (glabellar lines).
  • Bunny Feet, formed around your nose usually du to scrunching the nose upwards. Upper Lip Lines
  • Gummy smile to reduce the visibility of the gums when smiling.
  • Around the mouth / Marionette Lines / Smile Lines
  • Neck Lines.
  • Jaw / Square Jaw
  • Chin

To see more before and after images of anti wrinkle, injection results click on our website.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler is a non-invasive treatment which consists of the injection of Hyaluronic acid a naturally occurring substance in the body able to retain moisture and plump the skin reducing the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles.

Dermal filler can also be applied to several areas of the skin to add volume to the lips, cheeks, chin, and nose to mouth lines and is also able to perform an “8 Point Lift” which replicates the results of the surgical facelift.

You can see before and after images of dermal filler results on our website.

Thermage

Thermage is a non-invasive treatment able to contour and tighten the skin at once. It consists of a laser treatment which uses heat to stimulate the natural production of collagen of the body creating the effect that can be similar to a non-surgical facelift.

Thermage is a procedure that can be performed on the face, body, neck and décolletage smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. The results are natural and can be seen over the period of 6 months of the treatment.

Laser Skin Tightening

Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive laser procedure able to improve the skin texture and firmness by stimulating the production of collagen. This procedure uses infrared light to tighten and reduce the signs of ageing providing by inducing the formation of new collagen leaving nearly instant results. The most noticeable results can be seen 4 weeks after the treatment and will continue to improve over the following 6 months.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an injectable treatment to remodel the skin. This treatment consists in the injection of Prophilo (100% Hyaluronic Acid) which enables the production of the body’s own collagen for a tighter more youthful looking skin improving its elasticity, hydration and overall brightness. Prophilo overall is able to improve the quality of the skin and enables the reduction of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Regenlite

Regenlite is a laser treatment which induces the production of collagen by the body. This procedure targets the microvessels present under the skin mimicking an injury, this way the body reacts by producing new collagen enabling the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and stretch marks over time.

This treatment is non-invasive and the downtime required is minimal being able to return to work shortly after the procedure. The results from the Regenlite treatment can be seen over the following 3 months from the treatment.

Body Confidence – Banish, Disguise and Exercise those wobbly bits!

April 3, 2013 by

Fighting Fifty

Body Confidence – Banish, Disguise and excercise those wobbly bits!

Whether you want to banish the bulge, exercise the arms or disguise those areas you would rather people didn’t see, we have the solution.

Banish: Cosmetic Doctor – Dr Dennis Wolf from The Private Clinic

Thighs

Banish:  ‘Stretch marks and cellulite can make women more conscious about their thighs but thanks to high tech treatments they can be tackled permanently. Carboxytherapy uses carbon dioxide to ‘trick’ the body into improving the blood circulation which improves both cellulite and scars. Velashape also tackles cellulite, it combines combines radio frequency, infra-red, vacuum and mechanical massage and has a firming effect as well.Vaser for bulk reduction and contouring.

Small Breasts

Banish: ‘We can now enhance breast shape and size without resorting to implant surgery by using a technique known as fat transfer.  It’s a two-in-one treatment that removes unwanted fat from one area of the body and, after it’s carefully processed, it is re-injected into the breast area to increase fullness and improve the shape.  It’s a walk-in/walk-out day case procedure and is becoming a very popular choice for anyone who wants a more fullness, volume which still retains a natural look and feel.’

Tummy

Banish:  ‘A lot of women find it hard to shift the ‘spare tyre’ around the waist, hormones mean that this area is prone to fat deposits.  We can remove fat using Vaser lipo techniques and then if there is lax skin, a tightening radio frequency treatment such as Thermage CPT would result in a taut, flat tummy.  Lots of women report that having a treatment like this is the trigger for a healthier lifestyle and a real confidence booster.’

Hips

Banish: ‘Fat pockets on the hips often remain, even with a strict exercise routine. Vaser or microcanula liposuction can quickly slim down this area.  Vaser is less invasive, tightens the skin more than traditional liposuction and requires little time away from work.’

Calves

Banish: ‘Varicose veins spoil even shapely legs.  Caused by weak vein valves, varicose veins can be uncomfortable but a new treatment – Endovenous Laser Ablation is a minimally invasive varicose vein treatment that is worth researching.  It’s performed with a local anesthetic so is faster and easier than traditional vein surgery.’

Upper Arms

Banish: ‘As we age, skin tone in this area can become lax and saggy, Thermage CPT can help tighten this up and if there is excess fat in this area, Vaser would be the gold standard treatment to get a fast result.  Remember that you need to wear a compression garment for a few weeks after treatment but there is very little down-time and patients can return to work after a day’s rest and recuperation.’

Bums

Banish: ‘Bottoms are back in fashion, thanks to J-lo and Kim Kardashian. Think about shape, not size, and shape perfecting treatments include using Macrolane or Fat Transfer to enhance the area and balancing that out by shaping the lower back with Vaser.’

What are the options for a facelift or non-surgical facelift?

March 31, 2018 by Steffanie Griffiths Leave a Comment

As we get older, it is our face that is responsible for revealing most tell-tale signs of ageing – an area of the body we also expose the most. The natural ageing process causes the skin to lose elasticity and volume, which along with gravity, inevitably leads the face to draw downwards and nearer the bone, often leading to unwanted lines, folds and sagginess! To help turn back the time on your face, several non-surgical and surgical facelift options are available, offering youth-restoring, natural-looking results.

Surgical Facelift

Mid Facelift with The Private Clinic

A face or neck lift, otherwise known as a rhytidoplasty procedure, is a surgical procedure that can  tighten loose skin around your face, jawline and neck region to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The procedure works by first making an incision, lifting skin and tissue prior to repositioning it, and discarding any excess. There are actually five face variations of the facelift, addressing different facial areas, and these are the full facelift, mini facelift, forehead and brow lift, mid-face lift and combined facelift and blepharoplasty procedure:

Facelift with The Private Clinic
  • Full Facelift: This procedure can achieve a dramatic improvement to your whole face, giving a younger-looking, naturally fresher look. An incision is commonly made at the temple, running along the hairline and round to behind the ears, before lifting the lower and upper face, and removing excess skin, folds and deep lines. The procedure can improve low or heavy brows, deep lines between the mouth and nose and any excess skin in the jowls region, for example. Sagging under the jaw can also be corrected with additional incision under the chin (Pictured right).
  • Mini Facelift: Focusing on enhancing the jowls and cheeks in the lower region of the face, this procedure is best for patients with moderate skin laxity and presence of some jowls. The incisions in the Mini Face Lift are much shorter, running from the temples to the natural crease found in front of the ear, and the procedure offers minimal scaring with shorter recovery in comparison to the full face lift.
  • Forehead and Brow lift (browplasty) – This procedure lifts your forehead, elevating the brows and removing deep lines, and will enhance the overall appearance of your face too.
  • Mid-Face Lift (Cheeklift) – A mid-face lift restores the cheeks and lower eyelid area. Sagging, tired cheeks become lifted and the face has a restored, rejuvenated appearance. This treatment can also resolve deep nasal folds.
  • Facelift and Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) – This is a combination procedure used to rejuvenate the eyelids and face.

All of these procedures take between 1-3 hours, with the more extensive procedures taking longer. Many of the procedures only require local anaesthesia, but most patients need general anaesthesia for a full facelift. Depending on the treatment, an overnight hospital stay may also be required. Facelift results can last for several years, and a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle can help prolong the effects.

To determine the appropriate procedure for you, your Consultant Reconstructive and Plastic Surgeon should assess your skin quality, general health and facial structure. With each patient having a unique face, an expert surgeon should also tailor your surgical facelift procedure to your individual requirements.

One Stitch Facelift

As well as the surgical facelift, we are also able to offer the one-stitch facelift or 3D Facelift procedure is much less invasive than a full facelift and can be safely carried out under local anaesthetic. The results are a little more subtle in comparison and very effective in producing a firmer, tighter and more rejuvenated appearance to the face. The one-stitch facelift targets the mid-face but can also help to improve the jawline. The temporal facelift is performed in a similar way but this option instead targets the upper face.

Both procedures are performed under local anaesthetic and have minimal downtime with low risk of bruising and swelling meaning the majority of patients are back to work within 1-2 days.

How to look 10 years younger in 10 days?

You may have seen the programme ’10 Years Younger in 10 Days’ on Channel 5 featuring Dr Tapan Patel who performed a non-surgical facelift on patient Sarah. There are many aesthetic treatment options out there to help you look younger in a short space of time including Dermal Fillers and thread lifts which you can find out more information on below. Many of our cosmetic surgery procedures these days also require a lot less downtime so a one stitch facelift may be an option if you are looking to restore youth to the face but what about the rest of your body? It is not just our faces that can age us, sagging skin and excess fat can also make us look and feel older. Plastic surgery procedures such as breast uplifts, breast reductions and tummy tucks are becoming popular with patients looking to feel more youthful and excess fat can also be targeted with our range of body contouring procedures such as coolsculpting which can be performed in as little as 34 minutes and requires no downtime. To find out more about looking younger, contact us to book a consultation with one of our experts who will be able to suggest the best treatment plan for you.

Non-Surgical Facelift

Not everyone is willing to have extensive surgery to turn back the years. So we’ve suggested some non-surgical facelift options that can also provide excellent results, including the Thread Lift, 8 Point Lift, Thermage, Face Fat Transfer and Dermal Fillers. These are all walk-in-out procedures, with no or minimal downtime, and usually take under an hour to complete, aside from the Face Fat Transfer taking approximately 90 minutes:

  • Thread Lift: This revolutionary method lifts sagging regions of the face with no need for incisions! The technique uses small biodegradable sutures fitted with bi-directional cones, which work to raise loose tissue on sagging cheeks or jowls, resolving wrinkles, deep lines and a loss of facial volume as well as provide jaw line definition. Offering results lasting up to 18 months, the procedure is able to target the lower jaw, eyebrows, cheek and neck. At The Private Clinic, we offer two variations of the Thread Lift – the PDO Thread Lift and Silhouette Soft Thread Lift.  Thread lift treatments are available in London Harley Street, Birmingham, Bristol, Buckinghamshire, Leeds, Manchester and Northampton.
  • 8 Point Lift: The specialised lifting and volumising treatment uses high quality dermal fillers in 8 key facial areas to lift ageing features and rejuvenate the face: the tear trough, mid-face, cheek structure, nasolabial folds, lip corners, pre-jowl area, jawlines and cheek fillers. Also referred to as the ‘liquid’ or ‘fluid facelift’ the procedure uses a precise technique to tackle soft tissue loss, and provides a more complete solution than singular filler treatments. Results for this procedure also last up to 18 months. The 8 point lift is available in London Harley Street, Birmingham, Bristol, Buckinghamshire, Leeds, Manchester and Northampton.
  • Thermage: Offering more subtle and natural-looking results, this technique uses radiofrequency energy for tightening loose areas, by stimulating natural collagen production. The procedure can target the majority of the neck, facial and décolletage areas, and effects can last for several years. Thermage is available in London Harley Street.
  • A Face Fat Transfer is a great option for those missing volume on the face. The most ‘natural’ facelift option, results are particularly soft and minimal chance of infection or scarring exists. The procedure uses minimally-invasive Vaser Liposuction to remove stubborn areas of fat from any donor site you wish. The fat then becomes refined and injected within the face, to achieve volume and lift hollow areas. Treatment Results can last for several years. Face fat transfer treatment is available in London Harley Street.
  • Dermal Fillers present a popular non-invasive solution for resolving wrinkles and fine lines, contouring the face and restoring volume to facial areas hollowed due to ageing. The procedure involves a small amount of filler, containing hyaluronic acid, being injected into the skin via an ultrafine needle. A few of the corrections possible with dermal fillers include filling out Naso-labial folds (nose to mouth lines), filling in the hollowed area under the eye, adding volume to and defining the cheek and lifting and defining the jaw line. The effects of the treatment should last for approximately 4-8 months but will gradually fade. At this point, you can choose to have a top up treatment, or if you choose to discontinue injections, the dermal filler gel will simply biodegrade and disappear. Dermal filler treatment is available in London Harley Street, Birmingham, Bristol, Buckinghamshire, Leeds, Manchester and Northampton.
  • Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that is suitable for the face, neck, chin and eyebrows. Using micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy the treatment is ale to target depths of the skin not achievable by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. The energy stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin to reverse the visible signs of ageing and provides a significant lift to the layers of tissue which other laser are not FDA cleared to treat. Ultherapy is available in London Marylebone and Stoke Poges, Bucks.
  • CoolSculpting to the chin is another great option for those looking for minimally invasive procedures for the face. CoolSculpting is a fat reduction treatment and is suitable for use on the chin. Excess fat on the chin can cause us to look older than we are and reducing this area of fat can instantly change the shape and overall appearance of the jawline. CoolSculpting does not require any needles or anesthesia. It uses controlled cooling to selectively target and destroy only the fat cells that are being treated. The fat cells are then broken down and removed by the body over time. Treatment time can take as little as 35 minutes and there is no downtime meaning you will be able to return to your everyday activities included work and exercise immediately after the procedure. CoolSculpting for the neck is available in Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, London Marylebone and Stoke Poges, Bucks.

With an extensive list of anti-ageing options available, it is important to understand what each involves and is able to offer you.

As we age collagen production slows down, skin loses its elasticity and the contours of the face and body appear less defined. Normal changes in skin that come as we age include more visible wrinkles and sagging skin, uneven texture, dryness, and thinning of the superficial layer of the skin.

The Private Clinic of Harley Street is one of few clinics in the UK to offer the revolutionary non-surgical Thermage CPT skin tightening treatment. Thermage has been described as a Non-Surgical Facelift and is recognised for its body skin tightening results.

Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment—with no surgery, no injections, and no downtime. Instead, Thermage stimulates your body’s natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle, natural looking results. Thermage is an effective treatment for skin tightening on the face, neck and décolletage, as well as the body. The treatment is an effective solution for sagging skin, loose jowls or lack of definition in the jawline, sagging skin under the chin and wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth and forehead.

Thermage involves no surgery, no injections and little to no downtime, and Thermage works on all skin types on and off the face. It produces subtle and gradual results resulting in smooth, sleek skin and an overall younger looking appearance.

  • Where on the body is Thermage performed?

    The Thermage CPT procedure is actually a very versatile, non-invasive treatment that can be performed on numerous areas of the body. As well as being able to help tighten your skin safely on your face, neck and décolletage it can also be performed on areas of the body that are suffering from skin that is crepey or sagging.Face & Jaws:Sagging skin Loose jowls or lack of definition in jaw line Sagging skin under the chin Wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth or foreheadEyesHooding Fine Lines Wrinkles Furrowed Brows Body (abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms)Crepey Skin Dimples Cellulite Sagging

  • How is Thermage different from other skin tightening treatments?

    While laser treatments and other radiofrequency procedures also tighten skin, no other treatment heats as deeply as Thermage. By heating the innermost layers of skin, Thermage is the most effective at tightening collagen and stimulating the formation of new collagen, which results in tighter skin and an overall younger looking appearance. Also, Thermage generally achieves results in a single treatment compared to other technologies requiring multiple treatment sessions.

  • How soon will I see the results?

    Most clients will notice an improvement straight after treatment.The effects continue to improve for up to 6 months following a single treatment.Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and natural ageing process.

  • How much does Thermage cost?

    The cost for the Thermage CPT skin tightening treatment will vary depending on the areas being treated.You will be able to discuss the fees and obtain an accurate quote during your initial consultation.Consultations with our expert thermage practitioners are £25 however this cost is redeemable against the price of any thermage treatment that you wish to book following your consultation.Below is a guide to our Thermage Skin Tightening treatment prices:Lower face & Jowls – £1,900 Face – £2,300 Lower Face, Jowls & Upper Neck – £2,500

    Excellent treatment guided by Dr.Nicholas Kalavrezos and the Anaesthesia Team led by Dr Martinez. It was mg first time under General A and I wasn’t too excited. From start to finish all the nurses were superb, the room was clean and my food was also yummy. Sometimes it pays to sort your Private Medical Insurance our. The surgery was booked in less than a week after my 2nd consultation. MRSA and Covid Test also were done prior. I can not recommend The Harley Street Clinic enough.Thank you everyone. Regards Monica

    Had a FUE hair transplant on 16 December with Dr Furqan Raja.He and the two nurses he worked with were fantastic!They made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and constantly checked in with me. I had 1700 grafts taken from the back of my head and put into the front where I had gone bald either side of my windows peak.It took a bit longer than I thought (about 8.5 hours) but this was due to the high quality, attention to detail and best result they wanted to achieve for me.I had the procedure done at the Leeds clinic but could have chosen Manchester too. I travelled two hours there and back in one day.I am now following the after care information they gave me and also the full kit of products they provided (all included in the price) to help me make sure I look after the new grafts properly.I have follow up appointments with the nurse and access to an emergency on call nurse 24/7 if required. But so far, I have no pain and everything is exactly as described to me in advance of the procedure.I did a LOT of research online and found many of the other national FUE/FUT hair transplant clinics too sales driven and very pushy. Dr Furqan Raja and the team at the private clinic gave me time and space to decide on what was right for me, and importantly they never sold to me but just answered all my questions in a professional, caring and trustworthy manor.This is why I chose them and looking at the early results I am pleased I did!If you speak to other clinics and do your research, make sure you also book a consultation with The Private Clinic. Alex Clair in Manchester was my Patient Coordinator and he went out of his way to help me and gave me lots of free, practical and helpful information up front.Their straightforward, honest and friendly approach was great throughout. Highly recommended Dr Furqan Raja, Alex Clair and the whole team.

    All of a sudden I noticed these veins under my eyes, it was soooo upsetting to see everyday! I didn’t think I could do anything about them. Until I googled and it came up with Harley street and they did removal of under eye veins. I rang the them up and they was so helpful! And from there I was booked in and was so happy to know I can get something done! Everytime I called up nothing was a problem and was always happy to talk to me and answer any questions I had. When it came to the day of the procedure, Marie was so calming and made me feel as relaxed as possible. It was a little uncomfortable but soooo worth it as the results are amazing! Very happy I chose Harley street for the this treatment! Thankyou so much!

    I had treatment with Nurse Marie. She was so kind. The first treatment was rather painful and when I came in for my second round I was very nervous. Marie was so caring, she totally understood and took her time treating. Would definitely recommend.

    Anti – aging treatments with Dr Santa Cruz are a must for me. I have been seeing her for about 3 years now at the Private Clinic of Harley Street. Very knowledgeable and takes before and after photos which have been incredibly helpful when we want to see how much of a difference the treatment has made. I would highly recommend her as her treatments are 100% effective and painless. Also I feel safe with the covid -safe measures they have in place.
