			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-810" title="DMK Cosmetics" src="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/dmk-cosmetics.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />We were all very excited earlier this month when Sue from DMK UK (<a href="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/danne-montague-king/">Danne Montague King</a>) came to the clinic.</p>
<p>Sue came to demonstrate and show us the way with a new OIL FREE range of cosmetics now being used all over the world by Danne clients and many top celebrities.</p>
<p>The new range includes 5 different skin tone colours which includes Naturelle, Olive, Ebony, International and the Shinto Series and another five colours within those series to get the perfect tone match for you.</p>
<p><span id="more-809"></span>There are also 10 Correctors of various shades, one of which is a blue neutralizer. Which would be perfect for covering up that bruise, under eye dark circles and fine capillaries. There is also a selection of low and high lite tones to sculpt the face. And it doesn&#8217;t stop there. Great for covering up fine lines and wrinkles and a 30 ml jar should provide 40/60 standard applications.</p>
<p>To set the products a super HD Loose Setting Power is applied there are 3, Clear, Light and Dark.</p>
<p>The DMK Range have really thought about the extent of the many skin types from the very pale to rich ebony, great news for us all.</p>
<p><object width="553" height="311"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mkvi0eoadQY?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="553" height="311" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mkvi0eoadQY?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>As always the skin should be cleaned and prepared before application to get the desired result.</p>
<p>You can use these cosmetics if you don&#8217;t have any skin issues, but if you have for example, pigmentation, fine lines, redness etc. then they are also ideal.</p>
<p>We have all the above products, brushes and sponges, in fact everything you will need in clinic now.</p>
<p>And to make it even more cost effective you only buy the colour tone for YOU not 3 or 4 different tones in a palette that you will probably never use.</p>
<p>One you have established your perfect colour match, refills are the way to go. Perfect!!!</p>
<p>You can book a <strong>FREE HALF HOUR CONSULTATION AND COLOUR MATCH</strong> with one of our skin specialists by calling the clinic on 0113 282 3300.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="no_border alignnone size-full wp-image-751" title="Dr Danne Montague King at Face the Future" src="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/dr_king_at_facethefuture.jpg" alt="" width="553" height="368" /></p>
<p>On Friday 1st July 2011, Dr Danne Montague King visited the Face the Future, as part of his UK tour. Dr King is a world renowned skin chemist and his treatments and accompanying skin products have world wide acclaim.  Unlike many other skin brands, the results achieved with DMK  paramedical skin treatments are measurable and often life changing, with real solutions to skin problems such as Acne, Rosacea and Age Management.</p>
<p>DMK is probably the only stand alone paramedical skin system that achieves such amazing results. However, as technology also improves it is interesting to see other treatment modalities that can further enhance improvements. Dr Kings visit incorporated a talk about the changing face of the skin industry and how combination treatments are gaining results hitherto thought impossible.  Combining Danne treatments with other modalities such as Dermaroller, increase result potential and often speed up improvements for the patient. Dr King also discussed their new make up range (shortly arriving in clinic), which looks to have great potential in terms of both skin camouflage and skin health.</p>
<p>Dr King spent the rest of the afternoon chatting with staff and patients and enthralling us with stories of past cases and celebrities who have received the benefits of Danne Treatments (many of the top names in film and theatre).</p>
<p>Everyone had a great afternoon and luckily for us the weather was beautiful and we all retired to the garden for a glass of champagne and nibbles.</p>
<p>Thank you to Dr King for his visit and his inspiration in terms of skin care. DMK remains the cornerstone of treatments at Face the Future and we are looking forward to new treatment combinations in the coming year.</p>
<p>Thank you Dr King!</p>

Luckily, Face the Future provide a treatment that can help excess sweating using Botox. Plus, for April only we have a very special offer price!</p>
<p><strong>Both Armpits Usually:</strong> <del>£599</del> &#8211; <strong>Both Armpits Normal Offer Price:</strong> <del>£449</del></p>
<h2>BOTH ARMPITS APRIL OFFER PRICE: £399!</h2>
<p>This offer is for April only and with the bank holidays approaching it is best to get booked in early. Call the clinic today for more information on 0113 282 3300 and read some more information below.</p>
<p><span id="more-655"></span>In 2004 the FDA (US Foods and Drug Administration) approved the use of Botox for excessive sweating of the underarm (auxillary hyperhidrosis).</p>
<p>Using small localised injections botulinum toxin injections temporarily blocks the chemical messenger, in the nervous system, which &#8216;turns on&#8217; the bodies sweat glands.  By blocking this messenger, sweating can be dramatically reduced at the site of injection.</p>
<p>Research has shown that over 80% of people receiving Botox for excessive underarm sweating have achieved great results, relieving this embarrassing problem.  Typically results will last between 7 and 9 months.</p>
<p>Botulinum toxin injections can be administered by a qualified Dr, Nurse or Dentist and take a relatively little time.  There are very little side effects, though some patients may have a headache or experience flu type symptoms for a few hours afterwards.  It is advised to avaoid the gym or sauna/steam room for approximately 24 hours after the treatment.</p>
<p>During the procedure, a very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of botulinum toxin just under the skin near the sweat glands responsible for excessive perspiration. Multiple injections are administered in the area that needs to be treated. assessment of the area that needs to be treated.</p>
<p>Botulinum toxin injections do not cure hyperhidrosis; your symptoms will return gradually. Follow-up injections are required to maintain dryness. These repeat injections may be necessary at intervals varying from seven to sixteen months.</p>

<p>The fire part of the facial is an Intensive Resurfacing Masque clinically formulated with 18% un-buffered glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and malic acid, retinol, vitamin B3 and potent antioxidants, including green tea extracts.  The ice part of the facial is a cool rejuvenating masque that soothes and intensely hydrates the skin, using hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, grape-seed and rosemary extract.</p>
<p>The skin will glow after this facial and feels smoother, firmer and tighter.  The facial can be repeated every 4 weeks for a total of 6 facials, to maximise results or can be used singularly before an important event to give the skin a healthy glow.</p>
<p>New to Face the Future, the Fire and Ice Facial is currently on offer for <strong>£80 per treatment </strong>(usually £120 per treatment)!</p>
<p>Call us today on <strong>0113 282 3300</strong> to book a free consultation and if you want to know more about what this treatment is like, take a read below.</p>
<p><span id="more-624"></span><strong>One of our first clients to have the treatment in clinic was kind enough to do a review:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Coincidence is a funny thing. I’d recently been watching some YouTube videos on a new treatment, the Fire and Ice Facial and a couple of days later when I was at Face the Future having one of my block laser hair removal sessions, I got chatting to Kate about the Fire and Ice Facial. Turns out Face the Future were bringing this new treatment to the clinic, and know I was going to be the lucky client to get it first!</p>
<p>Having had previous facials wondered how this would compare, and if it is good enough for the celebs, it sure is good enough for me. My skin was starting to look a little dull and dry, probably the winter climate, central heating and the like. I hadn’t had a facial treatment in a while so new I needed a spruce up.</p>
<p>The Fire and Ice facial would take around 30 minutes.</p>
<p>My face was first cleansed. Then the &#8216;Fire&#8217; part was applied and left on my face for about three minutes. Kate said this was a mini peel and would loosen the dead skin and boost collagen, to be honest I didn&#8217;t feel any &#8216;Fire&#8217; at first, but after a couple of minutes I felt a warm, tingly sensation,</p>
<p>Ah, the fire had kicked in. I was beginning to wonder if I really had got skin like a hippo, you know thick and leathery!</p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t feel uncomfortable though. Kate stopped the Fire by neutralising my face.</p>
<p>Now comes the &#8216;Ice&#8217; part of the treatment. Wondering where the Ice comes into play. It wasn&#8217;t Ice as I thought. It was a really cool, (as in cold, not funky!) minty smelling rejuvenating mask and felt great after the warm tingle!</p>
<p>This was the skin plumping part of the treatment and while horizontal hoped the result would leave me feeling refreshed. This was left on for about ten minutes. Once removed and moisturiser applied, I was done, dare I look in the mirror? I was going out the next day!</p>
<p>I was a little pink. The flushed look was back to normal later that day. Although after saying that, in the future I would have the treatment a few days before, had I got an important occasion to go to (the sun blushed tomato look just isn’t my thing).</p>
<p>I really enjoyed my afternoon treatment and my face is not dry now and feels really smooth, firm and plumped. Not sure how long it will be before my next visit, but it will be soon.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/fake-obagi.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-618" title="Beware of Fake Obagi" src="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/fake-obagi.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a>Last year, you may have seen our blog posts on <a href="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/blog/be-aware-of-fake-dermamelan-products/">fake Dermamelan</a> products. Fake products are becoming more common now, not just in the skin care industry but also in many other trades. At <a href="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/">Face the Future</a>, we want to make sure you are buying the correct products, from authorised UK stockists at realistic prices.</p>
<p>Counterfeiters are now copying the <a href="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/products/obagi.html">Obagi</a> brand. We recently had a customer approach us, after she purchased some <a href="http://www.facethefuture.co.uk/shop/obagi/cat_55.html">Obagi</a> products from Hong Kong (they were slightly cheaper). After using the products, she had a severe reaction to her skin. She sent the products to us to verify them and we confirmed they were indeed copies. As the packaging is near identical to the original products, it is extremely difficult for the general public to tell the difference, until it is too late, so please be careful.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s a guide to help you decide if the online retailer is legitimate and the products are genuine:</strong></p>
<div class="red_list">
<p><strong>1. </strong>Does the price of the product seem too cheap? Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Is the seller an authorised stockist? You can usually verify the seller with the product manufacturer, or UK distributor.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Is the seller registered with the Care Quality Commission? This confirms the seller is a registered health care specialist, and therefore works to strict standards.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Does the seller have a physical clinic? We stock high strength products, which contain active ingredients, which are not available on the high street. You can only become an authorised stockist of these kinds of products if you have a clinic, with trained practitioners available for client consultation.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Is the seller in the UK? Remember, UK consumer laws do not cover you if there is a problem with products purchased abroad, or which are indeed fake. Also in most cases, a product can look cheap but then you may be charged duty when it comes into the UK.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Does the website seem trustworthy? Customers shopping on the internet can be immediately drawn in because, the price is shown in GBP and the prices seem cheap. You should always look for a UK telephone number and UK address. There are websites selling prescription strength products for UK consumers that are actually in Hong Kong and South Africa, with no guarantees the products are even genuine.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> Are you buying from eBay? eBay is great for finding a bargain, but would you risk buying a product from a seller, with no health care credentials or skin clinic history, who are selling products from their garage just to save yourself a few pounds? There are a number of eBay users selling fake Obagi products, with no guarantee where they have come from except the sellers “word”.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> Finally, if you are buying products, particularly for the face, don’t take any chances. You only get one face, look after it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been much in the media over the past few weeks, relating to the safety of non surgical treatments, such as Botox and Dermal Fillers.</p>
<p>A register of Clinics and Independent Practitioners has been established by the &#8216;Independent Health Advisory Scheme&#8217; (IHAS) and can be found at <a href="http://www.treatmentsyoucantrust.co.uk/">www.treatmentsyoucantrust.co.uk</a>.  It is hoped this register will provide a valuable resource, enabling potential patients to check whether a Clinic or Practitioner has the appropriate qualifications, experience and the standards of health and safety, needed for safe practice in this field of non surgical treatments.</p>
<p>Face the Future has been registered with the Care Quality Commission for over 5 years and is now undertaking the registration for the &#8216;Independent Health Advisory Scheme&#8217;.  Kate Bancroft, their in house Aesthetics Nurse, has over 20 years nursing experience and been practicing in the field of aesthetics for over 6 years.  She also has a BSc (Hon) in Healthcare and is a qualified teacher and trainer.  As an Independent Nurse Prescriber, Kate has a wealth of experience and you can always be assured that you see the same experienced Nurse, each time you visit the Clinic.</p>
<p>Although the IHAS register is not a perfect solution to the registration of non surgical providers, it is certainly a step in the right direction.  Hopefully, in time, it will offer potential users of non surgical procedures a central point to check out qualifications, relevant experience and credibility of Clinics and Practitioners.</p>
