Did you get some beautifully packaged soaps for Christmas? It’s a lovely gift and always smells amazing – perfect for displaying in the bathroom or storing in drawers with your clothes to keep them smelling fresh.  However, these highly fragranced soaps aren’t always the best from a skincare perspective. Soap can dry out your delicate […]

Earlier this month I renewed my Save Face membership, and for those of you who aren’t familiar with the organisation, I just wanted to explain a little about who they are, what they do, and why I am passionate about being a Save Face accredited practitioner (with Excellence Status – which is awarded to practitioners […]

This month’s blog about the skincare treatments available here at Younger U Aesthetics is all about Skin Rejuvenation Treatments – in particular, 3D Dermaforce Advanced Radiofrequency Microneedling.

Have you noticed that as the weather changes, the needs of your skin change and your tried and trusted skincare products aren’t quite working for you in the same way as they did previously? This is perfectly natural. During the warm weather of the summer months, there is an increase in oil production from the […]

After closing the Younger U Aesthetics clinic for a number of months as per government guidance during the Coronavirus pandemic, it’s been wonderful to see so many of my patients in the last few weeks! I know things look a little different in the clinic to ensure patient safety is prioritised, but one thing that […]

One of the most popular treatments here at Younger U Aesthetics is lip enhancement treatments. An article for the Aesthetics Edit (found here: https://aedit.com/procedure/lip-augmentation-and-injections) found that in the US, the use of soft tissue fillers (including Hyaluronic Acid based fillers) has increased by 312% since 2000, as non-surgical aesthetic ‘tweakments’ have become more mainstream and any […]

Spring is on its way (apparently) and it’s not unusual to feel compelled to have a good sort out and spring clean in preparation for the long, sunny days ahead. We spring clean our homes, our garages, our wardrobes, but when was the last time you spring cleaned your skincare regime? Here are some things […]

Over the last few years, dermatologists and skincare laboratories have been developing new injectable skincare treatments that offer results beyond those we see from traditional (but still popular!) wrinkle relaxing treatments and dermal fillers.  It’s not to say that these treatments are losing popularity – they are still extremely effective – but there is now […]

Collagen is the scaffolding that provides structure and strength to bones, muscles, skin and tendons, and is the most abundant protein in the human body.  It’s a major contributing factor when it comes to giving skin youthful volume and definition, but the natural production of collagen by our bodies reduces as we age; after the […]

It’s sale season, and everywhere I look I see ‘prices slashed’ and ‘cheapest ever!’ – whether that’s in relation to furniture, clothing, or even some non-surgical aesthetic treatments! I understand that for many people, the funds that they’ve got available to spend on life’s little luxuries can be tight, but although it’s great if you […]

When we added Profhilo to our list of non-surgical aesthetic treatments a year ago, we didn’t realise how popular the treatment would be! We’d read all the documentation, watched the clinical demonstrations and attended all of the product masterclasses, and had added the treatment to our product range as it met our incredibly high standards […]

There are certain treatments I offer here at Younger U Aesthetics that, though they can be undertaken all year round, increase in popularity as the weather turns colder.  As a result, I thought I’d share some of our popular winter treatments with you this month! Microsclerotherapy Microsclerotherapy is an aesthetic treatment designed to reduce the […]
