Dermabrasion, Dermasanding or Dermaplaning is a surgical procedure in which the plastic/cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist scrapes away the outermost layer of the skin with a rough wire brush, a tool containing diamond particles, or a hand-held instrument which resembles an electric razor. It can be used to treat wrinkles and certain pigment marks caused by sun damage, however more and more people are choosing lasers instead of dermabrasion to resurface their skin. It can also be used to remove some tattoos, although lasers are more commonly used for this today as well. Most patients heal within 9 or 10 days and are generally presentable to the general public after this period. However, healing can be delayed in older patients, or if you have any post-operative infection. Redness of the skin can take 3 months or so to fade. Private prices for a Dermabrasion, Dermasanding or Dermaplaning can range from £1,000 upwards depending on the extent of the area treated.

Juvederm ultrasmile

Hola, me inyectaron en mis labios juvederm ultra smile. Yo no queria volumen, solamente queria algo para las arrugas alredefor de mis labios. Se me infamaron mucho, al grado que casi se revienta la piel interna de mis labios. Ya paso 6 semanas. Y veo que si me agrego volumen. ( lo cual me molesto mucho ). Ademas de que tengo 2 partes con bultos lo cual se mira desigual. Cuanto dura el inyectable? Hay algo para disolver esto? Y si hay algo como trabajaria?

"I have had multiple facials, and dermaplaning with Jaye and her staff, every time I have come out feeling flawless. I was amazed at the difference in my skin and the clinic itself is so clean, and everyone so welcoming and knowledgeable. Jaye also helped me to find a new skin routine and its great! All the staff offer great advice for any questions I may have."

"Had the most lovely 2 hours of pampering, incl painless, dermabrasion, luxury facial a full body massage and after speaking to Jan had a b12 injection. The treatments were so nice, products smell and feel luxurious and the treatment room is immaculate, welcoming and relaxing and so tastefully done. I would highly recommend Auntie Wrinkle, a gift voucher would be lovely for a friend, mum etc who needs a little pampering Jan makes you feel welcome and has a nice manner."

Dermaplaning Facials

Dermaplaning is a really effective method of exfoliation that consists of gently scraping off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells and microscopic hairs in order to reveal an immediately smoother and brighter complexion and the softest skin.
