At The LUXE Clinique, we believe in assessing the condition of each client’s skin before treatment to determine what will work for your needs, and your skin type. But, to dispel any preconceptions about which treatments you may be able to access, we have created a guide on the nature of sensitive skin, and why some aesthetic treatments may help rather than harm skin with sensitivities.

What causes sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin can arise from a variety of factors, both internal and external. It’s often more reactive and prone to irritation, which can make it difficult for people to find suitable skincare treatments.

Common causes of sensitive skin include:

• Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to have more sensitive skin. If you have family members with sensitive skin, you may be more likely to experience it as well.
• Skin conditions: Conditions like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis can make the skin more sensitive, as they weaken the skin barrier.
• Environmental factors: Extreme weather conditions can exacerbate skin sensitivity. Pollution, UV exposure and excess humidity can contribute to irritation.
• Harsh skincare products: Overuse of harsh skincare products, such as strong exfoliants or fragranced creams, can damage the skin barrier, leading to sensitivity.

Symptoms of sensitive skin

People with sensitive skin experience specific symptoms in the area of sensitivity that depend on the reason for sensitive skin, the time, and the care taken towards the area.

• Redness: The skin appears flushed or irritated, especially after using certain skincare products or after exposure to environmental factors.
• Burning or stinging: Sensitive skin may feel uncomfortable or painful after applying skincare products, especially those with active ingredients like acids or retinoids.
• Dryness: The skin may feel dry, tight, or rough, even after moisturising, due to the impaired skin barrier.
• Itching: Irritation can cause the skin to itch.
• Flaking or peeling: In some cases, sensitive skin can flake or peel as a result of irritation, especially after exposure to certain ingredients or treatments.

Why is sensitive skin vulnerable to aesthetic treatments?

Sensitive skin tends to react more strongly to products and treatments. This is due to the skin’s weakened barrier, which is unable to retain moisture as effectively and is more prone to irritation. When you undergo an aesthetic treatment the skin is often exposed to ingredients or equipment that can agitate it.

In individuals with sensitive skin, the skin may respond with increased redness, swelling, stinging, or burning.

This heightened sensitivity makes it crucial to choose treatments that are specifically designed to minimise potential reactions.

Are aesthetic treatments safe for sensitive skin?

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, people with sensitive skin can benefit from procedures like Dermal fillers, Botox, and Profhilo, but discussing your symptoms with your Aesthetic Doctor is not only recommended, but necessary.

Non-surgical aesthetic practitioners will be able to assess the condition of your skin and suggest the most appropriate treatments for your skin type, and whether it would be more suitable to avoid the affected area.

Some of the most popular treatments that you should discuss as options if you have sensitive skin include:

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical solution for adding volume to areas like the cheeks,  lips and around the eyes. They are composed of biocompatible substances like hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin.

Are dermal fillers safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, dermal fillers are generally safe for sensitive skin, but there are a few considerations. People with sensitive skin may experience slight swelling or bruising after the treatment, which is completely normal and temporary. However, the risk of more severe reactions is minimal when the procedure is carried out carefully by a trained professional.

If you have sensitive skin, your Aesthetic Doctor will take extra precautions to prevent agitating or worsening the condition of your skin. Aftercare is also important to avoid triggering inflammation or sensitivity.

Botox

Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s widely used to combat common signs of ageing like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

Is Botox safe for sensitive skin?

Botox is generally safe for sensitive skin, as it’s injected into the muscles and not directly into the upper layer of skin. However, people with highly sensitive skin may experience some temporary redness or swelling at the injection site. These reactions are typically mild and subside within a few hours.

One key benefit of Botox is that it’s a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime, making it ideal for sensitive skin that may be prone to irritation from more invasive procedures.

If you have a history of allergic reactions or skin conditions like rosacea, make sure to discuss your concerns with your practitioner.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an injectable treatment that delivers high concentrations of hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve hydration, skin elasticity, and overall texture. This treatment is an excellent option for those looking to rejuvenate their skin without the need for fillers or Botox, and actively remodels skin tissue to reverse the signs of ageing.

Is Profhilo suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Profhilo is generally safe for sensitive skin because it works to restore hydration and improve skin quality without the need for more invasive methods.

Since it primarily hydrates and stimulates collagen production, Profhilo can be a great choice for those with sensitive skin looking for a more natural, non-intrusive treatment. As with any injectable procedure, mild redness or swelling may occur, but these reactions are typically short lived.

Tips for people with sensitive skin seeking aesthetic treatments

If you have sensitive skin and are considering dermal fillers, Botox, or Profhilo, then it’s important you take the right steps to protect your skin throughout your facial aesthetics journey.

As you pursue treatment, make sure to always:

1. Consult with an experienced practitioner: Always consult with a licensed professional who has experience working with sensitive skin. A thorough consultation will allow them to assess your skin type and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

An experienced doctor will never go ahead with treatment unless they are certain that it is safe and suitable for your unique skin. They will likewise be able to determine a safe alternative if the treatment you desire isn’t viable.

2. Opt for lighter treatments: If you have sensitive skin, consider opting for less invasive treatments like Profhilo, which is gentle and focuses on skin hydration and rejuvenation. You may find that these treatments are of benefit to your skin by providing hydration.

3. Follow aftercare instructions: Proper aftercare is crucial, especially for sensitive skin. Make sure to follow all post treatment instructions to avoid irritation or complications.

4. Use soothing products: After treatment, use gentle and hydrating products to calm your skin. Avoid products with active ingredients like retinol or acids that could irritate the skin further.

5. Avoid sun exposure: After any aesthetic treatment, protect your skin from sun exposure to prevent pigmentation and irritation.

At The LUXE Clinique, your safety and wellbeing is our top priority which is why every non-surgical aesthetic treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your needs and skin’s condition. We will also make sure that you are fully informed and comfortable with your chosen treatment before it goes ahead.

The post Are Facial Aesthetic Treatments Suitable for People with Sensitive Skin? first appeared on The LUXE Clinique.

At The LUXE Clinique, we understand the desire for balanced proportions of the chin and a defined jawline, which is why we offer quick and effective treatments to improve the shape of your chin.

Common reasons for chin enhancement

Improve facial proportions

A weak chin can significantly affect the balance of your facial features. The chin plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics by helping to define the lower third of the face. When the chin is underdeveloped or set back from the rest of the face, it can create the illusion of a larger nose or make the neckline appear less defined, or even add to the ”double chin” effect.

When the chin lacks definition, it can lead to a less harmonious facial profile and may even make other features, such as the cheeks or forehead, appear more pronounced.

Reduce the appearance of jowls

As we age, skin laxity and the loss of bone density can lead to the formation of jowls. By enhancing the chin, it’s possible to reduce the appearance of sagging skin and create a more youthful, defined jawline.

To create jawline definition

Chin augmentation, alongside other non-surgical aesthetic treatments, can create a more defined lower face, enhancing your features and shape of your face.

What causes a weak chin?

A weak chin is a cosmetic concern where the lower jaw sits further back in the face than the upper jaw. This results in the appearance of disproportion, particularly in your side profile.

Weak chins are caused by a number of genetic reasons including:

• An existing or developing overbite
• Natural facial bone structure
• Congenital conditions present from birth

How Ageing Changes Your Chin Shape

As we age, several natural processes can affect the appearance and shape of the chin:

• Loss of Bone Density: With age, the bones in the face, including the chin and jaw, may lose density and recess. This can cause the chin to appear less prominent and lead to a sagging jawline.
• Decreased Skin Elasticity: As collagen and elastin production decreases, the skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity. This can lead to sagging around the chin and jaw area, contributing to the appearance of jowls or a less defined jawline.
• Fat Redistribution: Ageing often results in a shift in facial fat distribution, with more fat accumulating under the chin and around the jawline. This can result in a double chin or less distinct jawline definition.
• Loss of Volume: Volume loss in the chin area can make the chin appear weaker and contribute to the ageing appearance of the lower face.

How to improve the shape of your chin

The treatment recommended for improving the shape of your chin will depend on the reason for your chin’s current shape.

1. Orthodontics

In some cases, a weak or poorly defined chin is caused by dental or skeletal issues, such as an underbite, overbite, or other misalignment problems in the teeth and jaw. For individuals with structural concerns, orthodontic treatments can be an effective solution for improving the chin’s appearance.

Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, can help correct the positioning of your teeth and jaw, which may have a positive effect on the appearance of the chin.

However, it’s important to note that orthodontics doesn’t directly add volume to the chin; it works by improving the positioning of the jaw, which is not the correct treatment for many with concerns about the shape of their chin.

2. Dermal fillers

If your chin lacks definition or projection, dermal fillers/non-surgical chin augmentation is a highly effective and non-invasive solution to reshape and enhance the chin area. Dermal fillers, which are usually made from hyaluronic acid (HA), can add volume, smooth contours, and restore balance to the lower face.

How Dermal Fillers Improve Chin Shape

Adding volume: For those with a recessed or weak chin, dermal fillers can be injected into specific areas of the chin to add volume and bring the chin forward. This enhances chin projection, improving the balance between the chin, nose, and forehead. Often the length of the chin may be treated also for facial proportions.

Sculpting the jawline: Dermal fillers can be used not only to augment the chin but also to contour the jawline, creating sharper angles and a more defined profile. The chin and jawline are often treated together to give a better appearance.

Quick results: One of the main advantages of dermal fillers is that the procedure is quick and requires little to no recovery time. Results are immediate, with minimal swelling or bruising for possibly a few days.

Dermal fillers are an excellent option for individuals looking to enhance the shape of their chin without undergoing surgery. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and offers noticeable improvements in facial symmetry and definition.

3. Profhilo and Polynucleotides

Profhilo is a revolutionary treatment that uses high-concentration hyaluronic acid to improve skin quality, restore volume, and stimulate collagen production. While dermal fillers focus on adding volume to the chin, Profhilo focuses on improving the overall texture and tightness of the skin around the chin and jawline.

This is the most effective treatment for the late signs of ageing. Profhilo biologically remodels sagging skin, making it ideal for reducing the crepey skin around jowls.

Polynucleotides are fractions of DNA, that when injected, improve skin texture and stimulate collagen and elastin, and as a regenerative treatment, allows  your own body to stimulate repair. These polynucleotides can also be combined with hyaluronic acid to really rejuvenate the skin, and the benefit of polynucleotides are that they can be focally injected into areas that need more treatment.

At The LUXE Clinique, Dr. Robby Bajaj takes the time to assess your unique facial profile and recommend the most suitable treatment plan to achieve the results you desire. Whether you’re looking to restore volume, create a more defined jawline, or rejuvenate ageing skin, we offer a range of solutions that can enhance your chin shape.

If you’re considering or ready to improve the shape of your chin, contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover which treatment is right for you. Together, we can help you achieve a more balanced, youthful and confident appearance.

The post How to Improve the Shape of your Chin first appeared on The LUXE Clinique.

Only with a healthy functioning system can our skin truly glow. So, when certain elements are lacking, the skin can become dull, and even have less protection from external damage and accelerate the signs of ageing.

At The LUXE Clinique, we are passionate about the rehabilitation of skin health to restore confidence as well as skin quality. From internal tissue to the surface layer, your skin will benefit from our tips on how to rejuvenate dull skin.

What is healthy skin?

• Soft and smooth in texture
• Full, firm and tight
• Even in colour
• Naturally hydrated from within
• Tolerant to the surrounding environment
• Free from active disease

What causes dull skin?

Dull skin is caused by a wide variety of factors including genetic factors, lifestyle choices, dehydration and UV radiation. It is common for skin to appear dull when the cells within your skin are not healthy or optimised to regulate its own hydration and cell turnover.

It’s important to understand factors that affect the appearance of the skin:

COLOUR

THICKNESS: Thick, medium, thin

OILINESS: Oily, normal, dry

ELASTICITY: Lax or firm

FRAGILITY: Proper or improper healing

Other causes of dull skin include:

• Build up of dead skin cells
• Ageing
• Sun damage

Dry and dull skin is vulnerable to environmental and bacterial damage as it cannot effectively protect itself unless it functions properly.

How to rejuvenate dull skin

Lifestyle habits

1. Engage a healthy sleep routine

When your body is tired, it loses its ability to take care of itself. This can lead to lower turnover of dead skin cells, lower blood supply delivered to the outer layers of skin and signs of premature ageing.

To correct your sleeping pattern, stick to the following advice:

• Set a regular bedtime
• Avoid using screens before bed: Blue light makes your mind active rather than tired
• Drink less caffeine: Caffeine is another contributor to premature ageing and disrupts your natural body clock
• Avoid naps more than 20 mins in the day
• Get up at the same time every day, and get a morning walk outside to regulate your body clock
• Exercise regularly throughout the week
• Avoid eating before bedtime
• Speak to a GP if your sleep is disrupted by factors other than the ones mentioned above

2. Stay hydrated

One of the greatest contributors to dull skin is a lack of hydration. Whilst applying moisturiser to your skin daily can aid your skin quality at a surface level, making sure you drink a suitable amount of water every day will also have an effect. It is important to also choose skin products that are not just based on moisturisers alone, as your skin will just become reliant on moisturiser.

To improve hydration in the skin you should also avoid regular smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol.

3. Exercise

Although not commonly thought of as a solution to poor skin health, exercise can have an overwhelming impact on your skin’s natural glow.

Exercising regularly can:

• Increase circulation and blood flow to the skin
• Boost collagen production levels
• Reduce stress levels that contribute to poor skin health
• Help promote healthy sleeping rhythms
• Improve overall skin tone
• Promote new cell growth and regeneration

To prevent acne and other associated skin problems when exercising, it is important to:

• Avoid touching your face during activities
• Wash your face immediately after exercising to remove excess sweat and dirt
• Use a light moisturiser or cleanser after cleaning
• Wear a strong waterproof SPF when exercising outside

4. Include the right nutrients in your diet

The processes that keep skin physiologically healthy rely on key nutrients in the diet. To help restore skin, cut down on:

• Sugary food
• Alcohol
• Nicotine
• Processed meats
• Fatty meats

Instead, consume foods that contain:

• Essential fatty acids
• Omega 3
• Lean protein
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin A

5. Wash at a cooler temperature

Hot water can seem harmless but overexposure to hot water or steam can strip your skin of its natural oils. Without them, your skin will become dry, irritated and lose its glow.

Topical skincare products

Topical skincare products treat the surface layers of skin, but also if your skin is treated correctly, you will also be able to absorb active skin products better to create a glow from within. When you select products with high quality ingredients that stimulate the natural processes that your skin needs,  you can achieve attractive results.

1. Cleansers and exfoliators

Cleaning your skin may sound obvious, but this needs to be done morning and night. There are options of gentle or hydrating cleansers, but exfoliating cleansers are also helpful to slough off dead skin cells at the surface, so should be incorporated at least twice weekly.

2. 2. Toner and oil control

The level of sebum/oil in your skin should be controlled, and the correct toners help to remove excessive oil and restore the pH of your skin.

3. Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is a nutrient rich antioxidant commonly used for its anti-aging and revitalising properties. It helps neutralise free radicals and  repair DNA skin damage, brighten the skin and provide a much needed protection from environmental pollutants and UV damage.

4. Hydrators

Hydrators promote the regulation of the skin’s normal moisture level, as opposed to rich moisturisers. Many people are solely reliant on moisturisers for their “glow”, but end up being reliant on it and actually have duller skin underneath (consider sole use of a moisturiser as a product that may just sit on dead skin cells if other steps are not taken).

Hyaluronic Acid Products

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that lubricates joints and tissues. It keeps skin hydrated and is the basis for many non-surgical aesthetic treatments like Dermal Fillers and Profhilo.

It is now possible to buy specialised Hyaluronic acid serums, cleansers and moisturisers for the face that rehydrates the top layer of skin if it isn’t receiving enough water.

5. UV protection

SPF protecting against UVA and UVB is very important all year round, as UVA even penetrates cloud and glass, and leads to skin ageing. Sun damage leads to pigmentation therefore uneven skin tone, and accelerates collagen and elastin breakdown. Never forget to protect your skin with a shield of SPF, minimum factor 30 every day!

6. Retinoids

Retinol is a Vitamin A derivative, and important to turn skin cells over faster to allow healthy skin to appear at the surface of the skin. It also helps with fine lines, pigmentation and an overall skin glow, with the added benefit of  thickening of the upper layer of the skin. Retinol is applied at night, and leads to a healthy skin appearance with consistent use.

*Do not take Retinoids if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant. There are some anticipated early effects such as dryness and mild irritation, but this can be minimised by starting gradually under the advice of your healthcare practitioner.*

The mentioned products, whilst impactful, will help with dull skin, but only after customising your skin care programme and with consistent use daily. For long term results, it is recommended that you also adjust your lifestyle habits and may also seek the restorative powers of non-surgical aesthetic treatments.

Restorative non-surgical aesthetics

The cause of dull skin is typically underlying and one of the most effective treatments is to inject naturally occuring proteins and hydrating agents into the skin that allow it to regain its existing function.

AtThe LUXE Clinique, we offer the following treatments that restore balance to your skin and the underlying tissues with natural results:

1. Skin Revitalisation/Skin Boosters

Dermal Fillers improve the tone, texture and hydration of skin.

This involves injecting Hyaluronic acid into the skin to reform the building blocks of healthy skin tissue. Hyaluronic acid binds to water in the skin, locking in moisture. It has been used safely in medical applications for many years.

Injected hyaluronic acid is slowly broken down in the body, and when skilfully used the results are subtle and will look natural.

Our Skin Revitalisation/Skin Boosters instantly restore lost volume from within, acting as a reservoir for hydration in a way moisturisers and cleansers cannot.

2. Profhilo

Profhilo is an innovative treatment that treats skin laxity and promotes hydration. Boasting one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic acid on the market, it is designed to actively remodel skin by stimulating 4 different types of collagen fibres, whilst also intensely hydrating the skin tissue to improve its appearance and glow.

Profhilo uses the ability to stimulate new collagen to give your skin a whole new lease of life by remodelling the skin. Results last up to six months.

Whilst the signs of ageing are perfectly natural, it is also very common to feel dissatisfied with the many ways that ageing changes your face. Whether you’re struggling to adjust to premature ageing, or are seeking the state-of-the-art solutions of crepey skin, The LUXE Clinique has the treatment for you.

Vitamin C Serums

Vitamin C cannot reverse the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but instead acts as a preventative measure for the signs of ageing. Combined with a good SPF sunscreen, vitamin C can prevent premature wrinkling by boosting the body’s production of collagen.

Serums typically contain the highest concentration of active vitamin C compared to creams and cleansers consequently leading to more effective results.

Best for:

• Fine lines
• Shallow wrinkles 

See results in:

12 weeks

Vitamin A (retinol) Creams

Vitamin A (retinol) creams help improve the activity of skin cells allowing better cell turnover and renewal. They even out anomalies in skin complexion including hyperpigmentation, acne scars and sunspots to smooth facial tone.

Vitamin A creams alone are responsible for minimising the appearance of existing lines and wrinkles, as well as preventing new lines from taking shape.

Investing in the right retinol cream for your skin type can have medical grade results.

Best for:

• Fine lines
• Shallow wrinkles

See results in:

Up to 6 months

Botox

Botox can be used to minimise the appearance of wrinkles over the upper portion of the face such as the forehead, glabella and other areas around the eyes. It is both a treatment for the signs of ageing and a preventative procedure to deter the emergence of permanent lines.

Botox (Botulinum toxin) is an injectable protein that enables controlled relaxation of facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and folds on the face. It can likewise be prescribed by a medical practitioner to reduce the appearance of genetic wrinkling such as bunny lines, chin dimpling and frown lines.

Best for:

• Fine line wrinkles
• Deep wrinkles and folds
• Frown lines
• Forehead
• Crows feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines across the nose
• Chin crease or dimpling

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to soften and correct lines and restore lost facial volume. Although many people equate filler treatments with being solely for the purposes of contour and lip enhancements, they can be used solely as an anti-ageing treatment.

Dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid, a sugar molecule that exists naturally within our skin and, alongside collagen, forms the foundation of healthy, youthful skin tissue.

Best for:

• Fine line wrinkles
• Deep wrinkles and folds
• Crepey skin
• Lost volume in hands
• Hollows under eyes 

See results in:

2-3 weeks

Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) that treats skin laxity and promotes hydration. As a filler, it has one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market and actively stimulates collagen production to create youthful, beautified skin.

Profhilo is the perfect introduction to aesthetic treatments; not quite a filler, this injectable moisturiser not only works to boost the appearance of your skin, but also remodels sagging facial tissue. An anti-ageing formula to leave you looking and feeling like yourself again.

Love the skin you’re in and book your bespoke Profhilo treatment at today.

How are Profhilo and fillers different?

Although both treatments utilise the effects of hyaluronic acid, Profhilo and Dermal Fillers are very different treatments.

Profhilo is not a filler; it is an injectable gel that stimulates 4 different types of collagen and elastin that promote elasticity in the skin. Dermal Fillers, on the other hand, are used to change the shape and structure of facial features by remaining under the skin.

Benefits of Profhilo

Profhilo is a highly effective anti-ageing treatment with numerous benefits. These include:

1. Improved skin texture and tone
2. Increased elasticity and firmness of skin
3. Boosted collagen levels to keep skin hydrated for up to 6 months
4. Visibly reduces the signs of ageing
5. Non-invasive treatment

Is Profhilo right for me?

Anyone who shows signs of ageing skin and is suitable for dermal filler treatment will also be eligible for Profhilo. This technique is temporary, simple and not quite a filler making it ideal for those who seek anti-ageing treatment but don’t feel comfortable receiving injectable fillers.

It is also suitable for anyone over the age of 18, but the results will be more pronounced on mature skin. Because Profhilo is temporary and maintenance treatment is suggested every 6 months, it isn’t recommended that Profilho is used as a preventive treatment.

Where can you use Profhilo?

Profhilo is most commonly used on the face but can be administered on the neck, décolleté, arms, knees and hands. These areas are particularly susceptible to the signs of ageing, and Profilho is the perfect solution to smoothing out wrinkles and folds in the skin.

How long does it take for Profhilo to heal?

The results of Profhilo will appear up to 8 weeks after treatment, but you will be able to return to work within 12 hours of both initial treatments.

How many Profhilo treatments will I need?

For the most effective results, it is recommended that you receive 2 treatments 4 weeks apart and then return for maintenance treatment every 6 months. Or you could receive a single treatment initially and return for maintenance treatments every 4 months.

Is Profhilo painful?

Profilo is rarely painful although mild discomfort can be expected during treatment. You may experience tenderness and small raised blebs that usually settle within 24 hours.

If you’re nervous around needles then you may experience additional discomfort during your treatment, but rest assured that Dr. Robby Bajaj is committed to providing you with the highest possible level of care. Please feel free to alleviate any worries at your consultation appointment, or at any time during the procedure.

Profhilo complications

The complications of Profhilo are similar to those that occur after injectable filler treatments. These include mild bruising and swelling, and occasionally allergic reactions.

However, if the treatment is administered by a fully qualified practitioner, then you shouldn’t experience any adverse reactions.

At The LUXE Clinique, you are in safe hands, whether you are seeking your first aesthetic treatment, or are seeking the revolutionary results of Profhilo. We want you to feel completely comfortable throughout the full treatment process, from your initial consultation through to any maintenance treatments you receive.

Dr Robby Bajaj has over 12 years experience in medical aesthetics and is committed to providing you with the highest quality treatment, care and products on the market.
