Chemical Peels

Chemical peels Worthing

A chemical peel is solution applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells.

​

The aim is to improve the appearance of the skin – for example, by reducing age spots and evening out skin tone.

​

There are 3 types of peels, called superficial, medium and deep.

  • Superficial and medium peels are usually safe, as long as they're done correctly. These type of peels are not permanent and they need to be repeated.

  • Deeper peels are more risky. They're longer-lasting and do not usually need to be repeated.

  • In the UK, chemical peels cost about £60 to £100 for mild peels. Deeper peels may cost more than £500.

Marionette Line Filler

​

The marionette lines, or sad lines, are the lines that develop from the corner of the mouth and extend towards the jawline. Once they develop they tend to be one of the more prominent features of ageing in the face and the one that people often dislike the most.

Often when we are listening to another person speak we look at the mouth area, meaning the marionette lines are in a particularly visible areas of the face. However, these lines are relatively easy to treat with dermal filler and the overall effect of this profound when it comes to anti-ageing.

​

Who can get marionette line filler?

You can get marionette line filler if you are:

  • Over the age of 18

  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding

We would also like to be aware if you are taking any anticoagulant, or antiplatelet, medication, although this does not prevent you from having treatment. You will also have to make us aware if you have an allergy to local anaesthetic, as the majority of filler contains lidocaine and we will have to choose a product that does not contain this if you do in fact have an allergy.

​

Complications and side effects

The most common side effect of marionette line filler treatment is mild bruising and swelling. Arnica cream will be provided following the treatment, as part of your post-treatment pack, in order to increase the speed at which any bruising resolves (typically 5-7 days, up to 2 weeks for deeper haematomoas). The swelling occurs because the filler itself is made from hyaluronic acid and this attracts water, so a degree of swelling is unavoidable for around 1 week after treatment. This is generally not noticeable to the eye, but will often feel lumpy in the days post-treatment. However, this lumpiness then settles once the swelling reduces.

Navigating Dermal Filler Aftercare

​

Immediate Aftercare

Once you step out of our beauty salon, there are a few key instructions to keep in mind:

Avoid Disturbing the Treated Area

While the treated area may feel slightly different at first, it’s important to avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure. Doing so could potentially displace the filler or even lead to complications.

Stay Hydrated

Hydration is a fundamental component of healthy skin. Drinking plenty of water is particularly vital after dermal filler treatment, as these injectables work by attracting water molecules, thereby amplifying their volumizing effect.

Refrain from Intense Physical Activity

For the first 24-48 hours post-treatment, it’s best to minimise vigorous exercise. Such activities could increase blood flow, potentially causing the filler to move from the treatment area.
 

Aftercare in the First Week

The first week following your dermal filler treatment  involves preserving the results and reducing potential side effects.

Addressing Swelling and Bruising

Mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site are common side effects. Use a cold pack on the area to alleviate these symptoms. It’s advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol, both of which can exacerbate bruising.
 

Limit Sun and Heat Exposure

Sun and heat can worsen swelling or discomfort post-treatment. It’s recommended to shield the treated area from the sun, and if necessary, use a high SPF sunscreen.
