The most trusted skin clinic in Leeds and Bradford, West Yorkshire. Specialists in Laser Hair Removal, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.
In our first blog of 2017, we look at one of the most common early signs of ageing – crow’s feet. We’ll explain how they happen, and how we can treat them effectively…
What are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet are the small fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the outer edge of the eyes. They’re sometimes called laughter lines or character lines. People generally start developing them in their late twenties and they tend to deepen over time. [Read more…] about How to get rid of Crow’s Feet
We began Good Skin Days in 2009. Our plan was to use a brand new, purpose-built building and team of skin specialists to bring a unique skin clinic to the Leeds and Bradford area. Six years on, our reputation for great care and expertise across a huge range of medical and aesthetic treatments and procedures attracts patients from across the north of the country.
In 2014 we were delighted to be recognised by the Aesthetics Awards, who named us the best clinic in the North of England.
In 2015 we won a further two awards. At the prestigious My Face, My Body Awards, we were named the Best Aesthetic Clinic in Northern England, Scotland and Ireland. Shortly after, we returned to the Aesthetics Awards where we completed an unprecedented year for Good Skin Days by being awarded the Best Clinic, North England prize for the second year running.

We are now offering Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy at the clinic, often referred to as ‘The Vampire Facelift’. You might have seen Kim Kardashian trying out the procedure on her TV show, but what is really involved? We explain all here in our step-by-step guide…
The Vampire Facelift is a name for a non-surgical cosmetic procedure involving the re-injection of a gel-like substance—platelet rich plasma (PRP)—derived from a patient’s own blood back into multiple areas of the skin on the face to target problem areas, treat wrinkles and to ‘rejuvenate’ the face.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. When activated, PRP takes on the form of a viscous gel containing high levels of several platelet-derived growth factors (cytokines) that may then be injected into the face in much the same manner as other dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane.
The appointment will consist of a 30 minute consultation with one of our trained Nurses and the treatment itself takes about an hour. It is a complex procedure and must be carried out by trained professionals. Often patients will notice a difference to their skin immediately after the treatment. For more about each step, see our explanation below.
We are in need of two models for the 4th February at 1.30pm and 2.30pm who would like to benefit from mid face dermal fillers (Cheeks) and lip enhancement with lip fillers. The treatments will be at no cost to the models however they will have to be comfortable with ‘action’ pictures being taken on the day and their before and after pictures being used for marketing purposes.
We are offering places on a first come first served basis however the models will also be checked for suitability and the clinic reserves the right to choose the most suitable model for training purposes. The nurses who will be training are highly experienced and the day acts more of a refresher of basic technique and exploring advanced techniques. We will be using exclusively Juvederm facial filler products and focusing on their vycross range which is Voluma, Volift and Volbella.

An insight into the Botox industry and why ‘faux-tox’ is no laughing matter.
A recent article in the Daily Mail stated that a staggering 84% of Botox users have absolutely no idea of the ingredients of the injections that they are being given or even if they contained the key ingredient ‘Botulinium toxin’ (which gives ‘Botox’ it’s name).
Many of the patients asked also said that they were unaware if the person administering the injection was appropriately trained to perform the delicate procedure.
At Good Skin Days, we also happen to agree with the two-thirds of the 1,500 respondents who think that the industry should be more stringently regulated in order to protect the UK population from unqualified practitioners using sub-standard products.

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.

Advanced Botox is a term now widely used to describe anti-wrinkle injections of more complex areas of the face and neck. Nurses with advanced training in facial anatomy and with extensive experience can take a far more comprehensive approach when using injectables like Botox, in order to achieve the results that make the most impact to the way you look.
Commonly, Botox is administered to the Crow’s Feet, Glabella and Forehead areas of the face and whilst these areas are still hugely important in achieving a smooth overall aesthetic look, it might be that you could benefit from treatment in other areas to achieve maximum results.
