Maximum volume or restoring natural shape?

July 8, 2016 By Good Skin Days Team 1 Comment

It really isn’t a case of one method for all – there are many ways in which lip filler can be used to change the shape of your lips. Today we talk to Jayne Taylor and Caroline Hill, two of our Registered Nurse Practitioners about the differences in what can be achieved and why every patient is an individual.

Before your first treatment, you will have a free consultation where we will discuss at length your particular concerns and what you would like to achieve with lip filler. [Read more…] about Maximum volume or restoring natural shape?

Kylie Jenner and her lips continue to take up column inches but is it all filler?

February 25, 2016 By Good Skin Days Team Leave a Comment

In my time at Good Skin Days, I have seen lip fillers go from being a subtle treatment, popular with our more mature customers, to a treatment that is becoming more and more popular with young people wanting a glamorous look. In this blog I will explain why this treatment is not to be taken lightly.

Unrealistic comparisons?

We have had a number of young people visit the clinic with a photo of Kylie Jenner. Our job is to give them the facts.

The age of people seeking injectable treatments has dropped significantly, particularly people looking for lip fillers. There is no doubt, that the representation of celebrities with what are commonly known as OTT (over the top) lips is contributing to this upsurge. When we meet people who are looking to achieve this look, it is important that we present people with the facts, not only about the treatment but about the images that they are seeing in the media.

The New Year is often seen as a time to try something new and exciting. In this blog I’ll outline the importance of realistic expectations and a professional plan in achieving your goal.

As Botox becomes more popular with younger audiences, is it still something to be frowned upon?

November 19, 2015 By Good Skin Days Team 2 Comments

Projected global sales of Botox are set to reach over £2 billion by 2018 and more twentysomethings are choosing it than ever before. This post explains why more and more ‘young’ people are trying to change the face of their future…

Botox may still be disliked by some people but the treatment remains extremely popular. People often ask me what age they should start having Botox, and I normally respond by telling them that we generally treat people between the ages of 30 and 60. However, Botox is a treatment that is becoming more popular with people in their twenties and I can see the logic in that.

Don’t be put off laser hair removal – get the timing right

September 9, 2015 By Good Skin Days Team Leave a Comment

We often have to delay patients’ laser hair removal consultations because we don’t think treatment will be effective, or worse, we’re concerned it may even be unsafe. In this post I’ll tell you why this happens, and how to plan your treatment for the best possible results.

Reasons why your treatment could be delayed or even denied.

For your laser hair removal treatment to be safe and effective it has to be carried out when your skin is as close to its natural tone as possible. Sun tans, fake tans and makeup can cause changes to skin pigmentation. Practitioners may suggest that the treatment could be unsafe or ineffective if the difference between your natural skin tone and your current skin tone is too great.

Following yet another laser hair removal horror story from a cowboy clinic, we look at the increasing need to regulate the laser treatment industry.

I’m always saddened and frustrated when I read stories like this one that surfaced in the Mail this week. In short, a London woman with dark skin went for laser hair removal on her face at a local beauty salon and received extensive first degree burns and permanent scarring for her troubles.

We’ve written extensively on our blog about how a well trained practitioner would prepare and treat a laser hair removal patient. In fact, the most obvious mistakes made by this beautician have all featured in our consumer advice here: [Read more…] about It’s time for full regulation of every laser hair removal clinic

Why a cleanser might just be the most important tool in your skincare toolkit…

May 19, 2014 By Good Skin Days Team Leave a Comment

Your skin is your largest organ and a crucial part of several bodily functions. Not only is it the flexible, self-healing barrier that supports the immune system, but it’s also part of a complex network that helps slough off cellular waste material that builds up throughout the day and night. Glands in the skin also play an active role in the excretory system; secreting toxins and excess minerals from the body.

Laser Hair Removal – The Facts for People with Red, Grey or Blonde Hair

April 7, 2014 By Good Skin Days Team

We are often asked about the effectiveness of Laser Hair Removal on those patients who don’t have brown or black hair. At Good Skin Days, whilst we have the absolute best lasers available in the UK, even we accept that there are limitations of this treatment for patients with red, grey or blonde hair.
