Well the sun is certainly making a bit of an appearance at the moment, much to most people’s delight. Sometimes, however, it’s easy to forget about looking after our skin in the sun when we’re not on holiday. It is vitally important to wear a daily Sun Protection Factor (SPF) to avoid premature ageing, redness, pigmentation and of course minimise the risk of skin cancer.  The SPF doesn’t have to be high, for most people 15-25 is adequate, as long as it is reapplied on a regular basis. There are also a range of hydrating products that can be used to ensure that our skin remains supple and fresh.  I recommend a specific range of products in the clinic including a rejuvenating lotion, moisturising protector, SPF and a medically formulated serum to maximise skin care and ward off any damage from the heat and light.  At the same time improving the appearance, hydrating and protecting your skin. Skin care isn’t all about reactive repair, proactive protection is the key!

Skin Deep - How to combat unwanted pigmentation

Skin Deep – May 2013

South Warrington News

Welcome to ‘Skin Deep’ – This month’s feature looks at our ‘Pigmentation’.  

Any questions, just ask Dr. Angie Winnington-Sharp – www.cheshireskinclinic.com angie@cheshireskinclinic.com or 01925 263660 & 07967 481594.  Next month – ‘Skin Care in the Sun’.

It only takes a few days of sunshine to make us smile and feel more positive. Maybe this year we will get a lovely summer and a few more glorious bank holiday weekends where we get to wear our sunglasses and flip-flops. 

We know that Vitamin D is good for us, but we also know that exposure to UV light isn’t, hence wearing a good SPF is essential to protect our skin from damage and premature ageing. One thing that can have a more noticeable ageing affect than fine lines and wrinkles is excess pigment in our skin. As  I am someone who develops more and more freckles each year, despite wearing  a daily SPF, I am careful in the sun as there is a difference in appearance between small freckles that develop quickly in bright sunlight and the gradual onset of age spots that tend to be larger and don’t retreat when the weather cools down.  They can make a person look a little older if on the more visible areas of the body, such as the face, chest and hands. A good way of reducing them and then keeping them at bay is to treat them with visible light that has the UV filtered out of it.  This is a non-invasive way of removing excess pigment, without damaging your underlying natural skin tone, and it takes just a few minutes. The best time to treat darker pigment is just before or after the main summer months and any planned holidays. So then next time we get a dip in the temperature, why not take advantage of the cooler conditions and perfect your skin before the holiday season really starts.

Non-Surgical Face Lifts

Skin Deep – April 2013

South Warrington News

Welcome to ‘Skin Deep’ – This month’s feature looks at our ‘Non-Surgical Face Lifts’.  

Any questions, just ask Dr. Angie Winnington-Sharp – www.cheshireskinclinic.com angie@cheshireskinclinic.com or 01925 263660 & 07967 481594.  Next month – ‘Pigmentation’.

As we are bombarded with more and more adverts and programs insisting that we should all aspire to have the perfect face and body; get rid of embarrassing features and generally ‘seek perfection’, it can become all too easy to opt for drastic, risky surgery and then spend months, if not years, wishing that we hadn’t rushed into it.  Surgical procedures clearly come with an element of risk, as any use of anaesthetics and/or surgical intervention can induce a negative response from our bodies.  This is why more people than ever are deciding to ‘ease themselves’ into appearance altering treatments by starting off with something non-surgical and thus minimising the risk and the financial costs. Non-surgical face lifts are the ideal way to see an improvement in our appearance without any incision or invasion to the skin’s natural barrier, whilst still lifting, toning and tightening an area and thus altering our outward appearance. Radio-frequency and pulsed light/laser techniques can be easily combined to give exceptional results, which, in time will revert back to our starting point if not ‘topped-up’. Therefore, these treatments can be used as a stepping stone to surgery, if this is what someone’s ultimate goal is, or as a complete alternative on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis, hence negating the need for surgery completely. We are all familiar with the saying, “don’t run before you can walk”. In this instance, why have surgery unless it is absolutely necessary, especially when you can get such fantastic results without the risk.
