Baby Face

With an ever increasing array of television programmes and adverts telling us how possible it is to look "ten years younger" or more, the demand for beauty and hair services that do just that has been increasing year on year.

Many of the TV programmes can take an extreme approach, but our experience has shown that a combination of preventative care plus some gentler and less invasive techniques can be just as effective.

So how do you get that baby faced complexion you’ve been searching for? Well, let’s start with your skin.

As a Guinot Crown Salon, the Charlie Taylor therapists are expert in performing treatments such as the Hydradermie Lift, which firms and tones facial muscles to immediately create a younger and firmer look. Alternatively, our highly popular C.A.C.I Non Surgical Face Lifts produces startling results and are a keen favourite for both male and female clients.

Another popular skincare range in the salon, from skincare giant MD Formulations, is a range of glycolic based products which are perfect for those clients in their mid twenties and early thirties. The facial peels and complementary moisturising products all work in harmony to deeply exfoliate the skin, leaving it looking younger and firmer straight away.

The next stage is to tackle any unwanted items: for example hair, scars, or blemishes.

Chromolite, designed specifically for permanent hair removal has been a great addition to our therapists toolkit. The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) process targets the blood vessels around the germ cells and the melanin within the hair shaft and root to create a safe and painless way to remove hair from unwanted places. This can offer massive relief to clients who may have been troubled by unwanted facial hair throughout their life.

Chromolite can also be used to treat severe cases of acne and to rejuvenate tired skin. Ask your therapist for a consultation on what would work best for you.

Of course, in extreme cases, these treatments may not be as effective and you will need to consider a more direct course of action. Perhaps, like in the television programme, you’ve been a heavy smoker for years, or you have seriously neglected your skincare routine. Well, don’t worry, there’s still hope!

About 18 months ago, we introduced a private consultation clinic for clients who were thinking of going down the route of more serious non-surgical treatments, such as Restylane or Collagen fillers which can be used to eliminate nose to mouth lines or to enhance lips, and botox facial injections which can remove brow and frown lines and banish crow’s feet.

Once a month, a qualified and experienced nurse is on hand to discuss the full range of options individually and confidentially with clients and recommend the best course of treatment necessary for you. All referred treatments are carried out by a qualified ophthalmologist who is an expert in this field. If you are interested in discussing any of these treatments in more detail, ask at reception or speak to one of the Charlie Taylor beauty therapists for more information.

And finally, don’t forget your hair – there’s a reason why those TV shows leave the hair until last: it can create the most dramatic change of all. Speak to your stylist – a new hair style could knock ten years off in one go!
