The best anti-ageing treatments

Home » Blog » Anti-ageing and Rejuvenation

Our face is often one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing. Age spots, dry skin, crow’s feet, wrinkles, sagging skin, dark circles and generally looking tired are all big contributors to ageing skin.

There are lots of ways to help prevent these, one of the most important is regular use of sun protection but staying hydrated, reducing alcohol consumption and eating a healthy diet are all going to help reduce the signs of ageing.

At The Private Clinic, we see many patients come to see us seeking anti-ageing treatments. We are not able to stop the ageing process, but we can help your skin look healthy and reduce the appearance of elements that can cause you to look older.

We have listed some of our top-rated anti-ageing treatments below;

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is one of the most innovative ways to rejuvenate ageing skin. It is an ideal treatment to help even out areas of discolouration and can also reduce the appearance of fine lines. The procedure involves treating the top layer of the skin with pulses of light in a pre-selected pattern.

We use Pearl, Pearl Fractional, and Pearl Fusion laser skin resurfacing.

Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments. Fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid, which is a natural substance found in the body. Hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water which helps to hydrate the skin. As well as keeping the skin hydrated, when injected, it is also able to plump and volume to the skin which in turn can also reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Dermal Fillers can add volume and definition to the face.
Particularly effective in creating more prominent cheeks, fuller lips and reducing the appearance of lines around the nose and mouth.
Dermal fillers can also be used at certain points in the face to give the impression of a facelift which is known as the 8 point lift.

Results are instant, but they are best seen a week or so after treatment once any swelling has subsided.
Minimal downtime, some patients may experience bruising and swelling but this should disappear within a week.

IPL Photorejuvenation

IPL Photorejuvenation is a really effective non-invasive skin treatment to help smooth and even out the tone of the skin. Patients with age spots, sun damage and general skin tone irregularities can expect to achieve great results and more youthful and fresher looking skin.
The treatment uses intense pulsed light which passes through the skin epidermis, deeper into the dermis where the pulsed light energy heats up and stimulates cells called fibroblasts which encourages the production of fresh collagen. The wide range of light waves that IPL emits also work to reduce the appearance of redness, brown spots and discoloration in the skin as they will absorb the light and start to fade following a course of treatment.

Effective for rosacea, age spots, brown spots, sun damage/spots, fine lines and wrinkles, broken capillaries, large pores, hyperpigmentation, spider veins, stretch marks and general skin tone irregularities.
IPL Photorejuvenation takes around 1 hour to perform.
The treatment is relatively pain free although many describe the sensation as being flicked with an elastic band.
A course of 5 treatments is recommended but this will vary depending on the areas being treated and the condition of the skin.
Results from IPL treatment can usually start to be seen a week after each procedure, best results are seen 3-5 months after the last treatment.
Following a course of treatment, it is advised to have at least 1 or 2 treatments per year to maintain the results.
