Pigmentation
We seem to have an influx of patients with Chloasma / Melasma, which is unusual this time of year. Normally the summer months deepen pigmentation and we have alot of patients distressed by the darkened patchy pigmentation on their face but as the summer months pass by and pigmentation fades, these patients usually decrease in number.
We have two fantastic treatments we offer to control pigmentation, which have excellent results. Its a pretty good time to have the treatment as skin will look absolutely fantastic for Christmas.

Botox in December!
Botox is definitely a firm favourite this month, with customers old and new making sure they are booked in for their Christmas top ups.
The Botox trend is moving away from perfectly straight, smooth foreheads and undetectable crows feet to a much more natural and subtle look. A much nicer and more natural look in my opinion. Soft, subtle and virtually undetectable rather than that very obvious ‘Botox look’.
Acoustic Wave Therapy Update
The Acoustic Wave Therapy machine is proving really successful. We have now had several patients complete their course and all are delighted with the results. More patients are coming to the end of their treatment and again results are looking positive.
Skin Peels
There are so many skin peels on offer, it is difficult to choose which one may or may not be right for your individual skin type. Peeling the skin is not a simple process, like peeling an onion and before embarking on this often quite invasive form of skin treatment, it is important to understand the basics of why we ‘peel the skin’ and what we hope to achieve.
Mild peels can be used to brighten skin as a quick fix. Peels such as glycolic, lactic and mandelic peels can give a nice result for those patients just wanting a fresher brighter complexion and a course of these mild peels can give a nice cosmetic result. Microdermabrasion can also be considered in this category, however I would urge caution, as the latest research shows that one or two microdermabrasions can be great for the skin but a longer course of treatment may in fact have negative results, particularly if skin type has not been assessed accurately.
Permanent Hair Removal Methods
If you’re considering having permanent hair removal, but not sure which method is best for you, take a look at the guide I have put together below and this should give you a good idea!
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal is achieved by using a treatment method called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). IPL effectively reduces dark, coarse hair, leading to permanent hair reduction.
Juvéderm Ultra – The Latest Filler
Here at Face the Future, we have a wide range of injectable fillers and the latest to introduce is Juvéderm Ultra.
You may have heard of this filler because Juvéderm have a large advertising campaign going on at the moment.
Juvéderm Ultra is a new generation of dermal fillers from Allergan, a world leader in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic products. It is a natural, biodegradable gel that flows easily into your skin, instantly filling out those troublesome lines leaving a smooth and natural look and feel. So, you’ll notice an immediate difference after just one treatment.
Acoustic Wave Therapy (Cellulite Treatment)
7 days in and we have had numerous clients taking the opportunity to test this new machine. The overwhelming comments from clients are it definitely works and so far everybody has booked further treatments. We have 11 places left on the trial so if you want to try it at £39 per session book early, you won’t be disappointed!
Acne in a nutshell – Part One
We’ve had lots of Acne sufferers in again this month, so thought it was time we looked at a simplified description of the ‘whys’ and ‘wherefores’ of Acne. Acne is incredibly complicated and the following is a quick guide only. We have fantastic results with our Acne treatments and with time and commitment on the part of our patients and our practitioners, we get fantastic results.
Acne is a devastating disease affecting teenagers and adults alike. Approximately 80% of teenagers have acne at some stage with around 20% developing scarring. It is not so much the skin disease as the psychological effects, which can have a profound and long lasting effect on confidence and self esteem.
Mesotherapy
Just loving our new mesotherapy machine! A cocktail of Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamins are pushed into the skin using a Transderm machine (No needles necessary).
Invented initially for the Juventus Football Team, as an alternative to injections post sports injury, the machine pushes ingredients into the dermis, to the same level that previously only injections would reach. For footballers, this means that injections such as Cortisone have become a thing of the past, as the machine now offers a pain free way of introducing the medicines into the skin.
What’s bad about sugary snacks for skin
So, we know some of the foods that are good for our skin…..but what about the bad guys;
Refined sugar and carb snacks may give you a quick buzz, but this burst of’ energy’ is not good for your system. Very simply explained it puts the blood sugar out of balance and your body sends out more insulin to cope with this. If this happens regularly it results in the decreased ability to remove excess blood glucose from the bloodstream.
