Mesotherapy - Advanced Beauty Solutions by Georgia Low-Louchiey

I've seen so many posts on Facebook about Mesotherapy lately, it's something I've never thought of trying.  To be honest the needle thing put me off as it involves many injections, but when I saw a video come up on Facebook by Georgia Low-louchiey using a Mesogun, it didn't look scary at all.   The client looked very relaxed and it didn't look painful. It's a quicker, safer and more comfortable way of doing it.  Mesotherapy consists of minute injections of vitamin and mineral enriched serum including hyaluronic acid antioxidant properties which is put into the mid section (epidermal layer of the skin).   These are vital nutrients required for fresh and healthy skin.

With age the skin loses it's ability to make as much collagen and that vital collagen depletes.  Collagen is needed for elastin to  keep the skin supple.   When the collagen depletes this gives it a tired appearance and the skin will sag.  The nutrients we are feeding our bodies go to vital organs first and the skin is one of the last places to benefit.  Facial Mesotherapy will benefit the skin by fighting natural sagging and ageing, improving the appearance of wrinkles, leaving the skin rejuvenated and toned.  This treatment can be used on the face, neck and décolletage to improve skin conditions such as dullness, dryness, acne,
fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, pigmentation, sun damage and rosacea. 


As you can see, I did my research and was keen to try Mesotherapy.  I had been looking at a few therapists, but Giorgia impressed me with her results and her technique.  Georgia works from home, she has a therapy room which is clean and professional.  He business is called Advanced Beauty Solutions and she is based in Harlow not far from Harlow Town Station.  When I met Giorgia she was kind and lovely.  A friendly and calming person.  We had an initial consultation where we looked at my general and skin health and she told me how everything worked giving me a chance to ask questions. 


First of all my skin was thoroughly cleansed and then a degreasing agent was used which helps the chemical peel to absorb at an even rate.  A self neutralising chemical peel was applied to my face and neck to start off skin regeneration and turnover of dead skin cells.  This was not a strong peel, it felt tingly. Then the Mesogun was loaded and set. The chemical peel was neutralised with bicarbonate of soda solution and then Georgia went to work with the Mesogun.  The actual Mesotherapy wasn't painful at all and didn't take too long.  There are sensitive areas which give slight discomfort, but I've had needle treatment in the past via botox and fillers and this is nothing compared to that.  To my surprise at the end Georgia added a seaweed mask.  This calms the skin and ensures that all the ingredients are pushed further into the skin.  This is something I've not seen done when I've studied this on You Tube.  I must say that this is a real treatment and is very relaxing.  The whole time Georgia checked how I was and made me feel very comfortable.


Afterwards my skin was plumper, pinker, softer, more toned, I could really feel the difference.  Sunblock was applied and I was given a PH Formala A.G.E. recovery cream containing a small amount of the acid that is in the peel to keep my skin cell turnover going until my next appointment.  I was advised to carry on with my usual skin routine and to use sunblock daily to protect my skin from the sun.  Also Georgia advises the client to use a collagen supplement to compliment this treatment  as Mesotherapy kicks the skin into action to produce more of it's own collagen which depletes with age.  Collagen supplements will support the new collagen regeneration.


I am going back for two more treatments to get the full effect of Mesotherapy.  Usually 5-8 treatments are advised, but as my skin is healthy for my age I have been advised that 3 are adequate.  Next time the Mesogun will penetrate into the more deeper layers of my skin to really get those fibroblasts working and as my peel would have turned over the skin cells and rid me of dead skin cells the next treatment will be even more effective.  Plus it will be nice to see Georgia again!

Anti Wrinkle Injections at Vie Southend as part of Full Eye Rejuvination

The final part of my "Full Eye Rejuvination Package" at Vie Aesthetics was botox 3 areas.  Dr Liakas expertly and quickly injected all areas that needed lifting and relaxing without pain.  The results of this took 4 days to kick in and I had a noticeable brow lift!  The wrinkle across my had was gone as were my fine lines and crows feet around my eyes.  Very pleasing!

Then as a final tweak Dr Laikas decided to give me cheek fillers using Ellanse which is 100% hyaluronic acid and 100% collagen which last for 2 years and stimulates your own production of collagen for that time too.  Now usually I have been sceptical of cheek fillers as you see certain celebrities with puffed up faces in the tabloids, but I trust Dr Liakas and if he thought cheek fillers would improve my appearance, that was good enough for me.  Again he injected quickly and without pain.  (It's a good idea to take Arnica tablets on the run up to and after you have injectables and have Arnica cream in reserve if you bruise easily and don't take any blood thinning drugs).  I could not believe the difference the Ellanse made!  It brought my lower face up and even lifted the corners of my eyes as well as giving me defined cheek bones.  It changed the whole shape of my face to look fresher and younger.  Dr Liakas even used a few drops of the Ellanse to smooth out my nose to mouth lines which was a nice surprise.


I just can't believe the difference in the way I look!  My face has really evolved and I look more like the younger me.  My husband is very pleased, my friends have complimented me and even my children have too.

Tear Trough Filler at Vie Southend

As part of a "Full Eye Rejuvination" package at Vie Asthethics in Southend on Sea, I have had Tear Trough Fillers using one of the best fillers on the market - Perfectha.
The package includes; Tear Trough Fillers, Soft Surgery PlexR Blepharoplasty using a plasma technique and the Botox 3 areas to lift the brows.
The tear trough fillers consist of a series of injections using Perfectha around the lower eyes where they are hollow and dark circles appear.  Firstly numbing cream was applied and then ice packs and arnica cream to prevent bruising as much as possible.  Then the injections, which didn't hurt at all and didn't take long.  DrLiakas is an expert injector.
I was astonished at the immediate results!  My eyes were lifted at the corners, no more hollows and my nose to mouth lines were lifted!  I was amazed at what a different look it gave me!  Such an easy, quick and painless treatment.  To help with the healing I used a neck pillow for a few days to prevent rolling over at night and I took arnica to help with the slight swelling and bruising.  I used a high SPF, an SPF oxidising foundation and sunglasses during the day for protection against the sun.
The next step is 3 areas botox to lift the brow and give a fresh look whilst ironing out my wrinkles around my eyes!  This will totally compliment the Silhouette Soft thread lift I had in my lower face recently and make me look a whole lot younger and fresher.
The "Full Eye Rejuvination" package will be available from Vie very soon, but for now they have packages involving the Silhouette Soft "Puppet Face Lift" with botox and fillers.

Soft Surgery Blepharoplasty at Vie Southend

I have been very down about my eyes for years.  I noticed that after 25 my skin above my upper eyelids has been drooping and over the years the droopy skin has turned into upper eye bags.  The problem has become so bad that I have been raising my eyelids quite a lot without realizing it, causing a line across my forehead.


In the past I have tried botox to correct the problem, it has helped but their is only so much that can be done with botox and the skin still remains when the botox wears off.  I recently saw an option for "Soft Surgery Blepharoplasty" at Vie Aesthethics at Southend-On-Sea.  This clinic is run by husband and wife team Vicky and Dr Ionnas Liakas.  Dr Liakas is an experienced and certified specialist doctor. 


Vie is a really nice chic little clinic which is very easy to get to.  There are many different procedures to choose from.  One of their most popular specialities is Silhouette Soft "puppet face lift" that I recently had at a clinic in South Ealing.  In fact there were a few clients getting this done on the day I was there.


During my consultation for PlexR®,  I was warned of around 7 days down time and the fact that this procedure is not always a completely painless one depending on the person's pain threshold.  I decided that the price of this was worth paying to regain my confidence about my eyes and to make the top half of my face match the bottom half.  I was told about what was involved.  "PlexR®, is a device that forms plasma to sublimate the excess skin. It delivers its energy only on the superficial skin cells, without affecting deeper tissues, thus enables the perfect plasticity of the eyelid movement immediately after the treatment. The result is immediate reduction of the excess skin on the upper or lower eyelid, as well as the shrinking of the excess skin in the external region around the eye. The benefits are also the improvement of the expression lines at the corner of the eye and the cheekbone (“crow’s feet”)."  Basically this means a conductor pen is used which is similar to lightening.  It doesn't touch the skin, but is aimed at the skin and is extremely accurate.  It needs a skilled hand.   The offending loose skin is then evaporated.  What is left behind are scabs which protect the new skin whilst it's forming.  During that time an oxidising high SPF protection mineral foundation is recommended and of course sunglasses.  Depending on how much loose skin is present, the client. may need between 1 and 3 treatments, 4 to 6 weeks apart. 


Numbing cream is applied, but I was very nervous so Dr Liakas gave me a local anesthetic to make me as comfortable as he possibly could.  The one thing I did like about this was I didn't have to wear lead lenses under my eyelids as I am very squeamish about my eyes.  It took around 30 minutes, not too long and once it was finished I could see an immediate effect before the swelling kicked in.   I had eyelids again, a bothersome skin tag was gone and a new arch on each eyebrow, this made me very happy.  The swelling was apparent for a few days, my eyes felt very tight, but I kept telling myself that the end result was worth it and I couldn't wait until the scabs fell off revealing the new tighter "baby" skin.  I used the make up I was supplied religiously and micellar water only to take it off without rubbing.  No rubbing or picking allowed as if the scabs are removed before they fall off naturally it can cause pigmentation.  I also used a neck pillow at night to sleep for a week to ensure I didn't disturb my eyes.


The scabs came off gradually and I began to see the result slowly, which made me feel happy that I had chosen this treatment.  When all of the scabs were gone, I just couldn't believe my reflection.  I looked like the old me again, the one when I was younger.  I still had a lot of looking after to do as the skin was brand new, so I religiously used a high SPF, the make up and sunglasses for protection.  Now when I apply my make up, I can be more experimental as it really shows now that I have eyelids again.  I can now wear lashes without them looking odd too.  My husband wasn't sure about this when he saw me looking swollen and scabby, but now all has healed he absolutely loves it and supported me through it too.  My friends have all commented on how great I look now.  I can also see clearer as having none of the droopy skin there lets in more light.  But most importantly, this has given me back my confidence about my eyes without having to have a surgeon cut at them and all of the risks involved in surgery as well as the recovery.


This treatment has many uses, removal of skin tags, removal of upper and lower eye bags, tattoo removal, scar removal and removal of lines, wrinkles and crows feet.  The downtime for this procedure is still much less than conventional surgery. (In surgery with cutting, there is swelling and significant bruising for up to 3 weeks.  As I mentioned, I had swelling but no bruising after PlexR).  Also in surgery people have a surgical scar on the eye lid.  PlexR does not leave any scars.  In fact Dr Liakas has had clients who came for PlexR to correct conventional blepharoplasty surgery and rid the scars. One patient had the arch of the upper eyelid perfected and to the patient's delight the scar also disappeared.  Even after 3 sessions of PlexR, (which is rarely required), the costs are still substantially less with PlexR than conventional surgery, so this option is definitely worth looking at if you are considering an eyelift or lower eye bag removal for a fresher look and better vision.


I have been invited back for tear trough fillers using Perfectha and botox to complete the look.  PlexR combined with botox and fillers is a package is called "Full Eye Rejuvination" and will be available at Vie Asthetics very soon.

Collagen Shots by Rejuvenated

After I wrote about Skinade collagen supplement, a representative from Rejuvenated contacted me about their Collagen Shots and asked me to test and review.  Rejuvenated are a small British brand which have worked on the collagen principle for 23 years.  I am always keen to test new products and to support a small British business is very important to me.

This Collagen supplement is different in the way that it contains Acia Berry to aid fat loss and it contains zero sugar, so this will help with weight loss as well as improve skin, hair, nails and bones.  (Sugar is particularly bad for the skin).  This product is also Gluten free and free from starch, fat, preservatives and artificial colours.  The only way you would be allergic to this product is if you are allergic to fish as the collagen is collected from natural marine substances.


The ingredients are; Marine Collagen 10,000mg, Vitamin C, Acia Berry, Hyaluronic Acid, Stevia, Vitamins B3 B5 B6, Zinc, Copper.  All the natural nutrients required for a healthy body and healthy skin.  No nasties.  Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for normal function of skin.  Vitamin B3 and Zinc help maintain normal skin.  Zinc and Copper together contribute to normal DNA synthethsis.  Hyaluronic Acid is needed by the body to bind water and give the skin moisture and plumpness, this depletes naturally with age as does natural production of Collagen.


This supplement comes in powder form in a 330g pouch with a scoop for precise measuring and contains 30 servings.  The scoop of powder needs to be whisked with water with a fork and drank before bed.  It tastes good and natural, you can taste that it doesn't contain sugar.  There is no nasty after taste.  The ingredients go to work on an empty stomach to be absorbed into the body's system and work on the skin in particular. 


After full use of this product I noticed a difference, not only to my skin but to my body shape!  I was not eating differently or doing anything differently, so I believe that this product helped me to lose fat.  I do not weigh myself, I just go by my dress size as sometimes body muscle can with more than body fat and the scales can be deceiving.  How I really noticed a difference was one night after a hectic day I fell into bed in my underwear.  When I woke up in the morning and got out of bed, I got a glimpse of myself in the mirror in my undies and was surprised to see that my shape had noticeably changed!  My tummy was much smaller and everything else looked like inches had come off.  Very pleasing!  Also as I have a lot of aesthetic treatments, this product has contributed drastically to my healing process and left my skin firm, pink, soft, clear and plump.  My hair and nails seem to have grown quicker than usual too.


Rejuvenated have a full range of anti ageing  and well being supplements.  An interesting one which would compliment collagen shots is H3O Hydration Night Repair which is a tablet to take at night.  It provides minerals and ions key in hydration for skin and health.  This will rehydrate you overnight.  There is also a H30 Hydration Drink for daytime. The Well Being range is designed to specifically support fitness and weight loss.


You can learn about and purchase Rejuvenated supplements at www.rejuvenated.co.uk   Retail price of Collagen Shots is £39.95 making it affordable for customers to purchase regularly.

Hair At The Vanilla Room In Hornchurch - Olaplex

The Vanilla Room in Hornchurch have a new hair treatment call Olaplex.  It conditions right to the very core of the hair shaft and strengthens the hair from the inside out.  I decided to get down there and check it out as I needed a whole new hair makeover.


My stylist Emmy, (Who has 26 years experience), and I had a consultation where we decided on a funky choppy bob and to colour my hair incorporating the Olaplex conditioning treatment.  As I have a much younger looking face now thanks to Vie Aesthetics and Dr Giorgia Ratta, I wanted something funky.  We decided on a warm chestnut brown with bright red choppy streaks going through it.  (I've been red before and really liked it).


Olaplex 1 was used in my colours, which were left on for 20 minutes.  Then Olaplex 2 was applied for a further 20 minutes.  After that my hair was washed with Vitamino Colour Shampoo and Keratise Fuso Dose treatment with radiance booster was applied to keep my colour for longer.  Once that was rinsed out, Emmy went to work with her magic scissors and expertly blow dried my hair using Volumifique heat protection spray.


I was happy with my new look and the softness and glossiness of my hair.  This treatment will last me for a few weeks and has helped to repair the damage caused by over colouring my hair as I change it often.  I would especially recommend Olaplex if your colouring your hair and also as a stand alone treatment, especially for highlighted and bleached hair as it rebuilds your hair from the inside out, repairing damage.   You can even buy a bottle to use at home.  Olaplex if used with your colour is £20, if used as a stand alone treatment it's £35 and to buy for home use it's £36.  Keratise Fuso Dose is £17.50.  Cut and style is from £36.  Consultations and fringe trims are complimentary.  The Vanilla Rooms also offer hair extensions and beauty treatments including; facials, machine facials, nails, eyelashes, brow treatments, make up, body treatments, massage and sunless tanning.  All prices and services are on the website.


I noticed that when I next washed my hair, very little colour came out due to the Olaplex and the Fuso Dose Treatment and when dried my hair felt very soft to the touch and was nice and shiny, proof that this treatment really does work!


The Vanilla Room is a really creative salon, and it's Facebook page is packed with lots of hair style inspiration and advice. Certainly worth a 'Like' if you're thinking of a new look this season.  If you're quick, you can still enjoy the SPRING HAIR SALE. This gives new clients 25% off colour, cut & style services, or 50% off cut & style services until the end of April. For more info on the sale visit www.thevanillaroom.co.uk

How To Tackle Skin Tags At Home

Since having my babies, skin tags have been the bain of my life!  It's just horrible when you get them on your face!  I had one on my forehead and was forever covering my hair over it.  As your making baby's skin in pregnancy, these can appear as side effects like as you making baby's hair your hair growth increases and shedding decreases making your hair fuller, not a bad side effect!


I tried all sorts, scouring the internet for a cure as GPs put it down to vanity and don't treat for this.  I tried tea tree oil, verruca creams, pure alcohol, green tea, all sorts of solutions.  I couldn't bring myself to try cutting it off with a small pair of scissors and then it came to me.  What do the doctors do with unwanted skin like warts and verrucas?  The freeze them!  Cryo.  so I went to my local chemist and scoured the shelves for the most effect, but safe freezing treatment.


I found Wartie Precision Tip Wart and Verruca remover.  No harm to surrounding skin and safe enough to use on children 4+.  I took this home and decided to give it a go.  It is so easy and quick to use and totally painless.  I used this twice a day for 2 days and then kept the area clean with tea tree and Savlon.   Immediately the skin tag was smaller.  After a few days tag had fallen and the redness was fading.  Skin tag problem solved!  If only I'd have thought of this earlier!

Venus Freeze Collagen Facia at Daclinic Brentwood

In my quest for younger, firmer, smoother skin in my 40's I headed over to www.daclinic.co.uk in Brentwood owned and run by the lovely Noorie Jiwa-Maddison who is qualified at NVQ3 level.  Daclinic is based nearby the TOWIE infuences; Amy's Salon and Lucy's Boutique.

Noorie offers a treatment called Venus Freeze which is a machine that heats the deeper layers of the skin boosting collagen production.  This reduces fat and cellulite, smooths fine lines and wrinkles and firms sagging skin, plumping up the skin and giving it a healthy glow.  This treatment will also help to banish cellulite and shape the body.  Celebrity endorsed, this treatment is popular with Lisa Snowden and Yasmin Le Bon.

It's advisable to drink lots of water after the treatment to help things along and keep the skin hydrated.  Also a collagen suppliment will help things along.  You can have this treatment on any part of your body, I chose my face as that is always on show.

A warm wand which is plugged into a Venus Freeze machine is passed over the skin in circular massaging movements once the skin is coated in a protective layer of glycerine to prevent burning from the heat.  It feels warm and very relaxing.  Noorie even has a heated blanket on her salon bed which was really soothing on my back and very cosy and comforting as it was winter when I had the treatment.

A course of 6 treatments is recommended for optimum results so that's what I had with before and after pictures to see the effect.  After that it is advised that you maintain top ups at the very most every 3 months.

I was more than happy with the results every time I left the clinic and at the end of the course I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall result and the before and after pictures were astonishing.  My skin is so plump, soft, clear and smooth.  I have such a healthy glow to my skin and it no longer looks grey and tired.  I've had some really l

lovely compliments on my skin from friends.  Even India Willoughby DMd me on Twitter to tell me how fabulous my skin looks!

A Good Skin Care Routine Is Essential

This week I am advising on skin care.  For years I've realised that I've been using the wrong products, packed with chemicals and parabens.  After visiting many clinics, I now know to choose products with natural and organic ingredients.


Firstly cleansing; wipes are bad, they just move the dirt and make up around without properly removing it.  Micellar Water with cotton pads are good for removing make up in my experience, but you need to follow this up with a facial wash and tepid water.   (Tepid and not hot water will not cause any damage to the skin).  Choose a fragrance and soap free cleansing foam which suits your skin type and rub gently.  Once rinsed thoroughly, follow wet cleansing with a few splashes of cold water to tone and close pores.  (I like to use Cuticura Skin +Balance Facial Wash.  I opt for Sensitive Skin Soothing Facial Wash with aloe vera and chamomile for day and night use.  I sometimes used Cuticura Skin + Balance Combination/Oily Skin Facial Wash with zinc and cucumber extract on an oily skin day.  Twice a week I use Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active 3 in 1; wash, scrub and mask.  This product has triple mineral action and salicylic acid which melts away bacteria, dirt and sebum clogging pores.  It can be used as a quick wash and exfoliator as it contains pumice, or you can leave it on until it dries as a purifying mask as it contains white clay, before you rinse it off.


Once skin is clean and patted dry with a clean towel it's time to moisturise.  I do like snail saliva products as they contain amino acids and encourage cell turnover and renewal as well as collagen production.  There are two in particular that I like; Endocare Tensage and Mizon Black Snail cream (90% snail slime) along with the Mizon Black Snail eye serum.  I also tend to go for Dr Organic products from Holland and Barratt when my purse isn't particularly full.  I really like the Munuka Honey day cream containing vitamin C which is really good for healing damage.  It also contains a natural SPF Zinc Oxide.  You can also buy Zinc Oxide cream from chemists for extra protection and it's really good for repairing sun damage and ageing skin.  For night cream I particularly like Dr Organic Royal Jelly Cream, it's rich and nutritious for an overnight boost. Dr Organic do have Snail Slime creams and serums in the range.  I have been looking at Vitamin C creams on the market, I quite like Glow Boosting Vitamin C moisturising gel from the Body Shop and a really good high SPF containing vitamin C is Heliocare 360 SPF 50 if you have that sort of money to spend on creams.  I sometimes use organic coconut oil on my face overnight, if I'm washing my hair in the morning as it's naturally hydrating and nutritious.  It's also good to use as an eyelash and eyebrow conditioner and a lip balm.


Coming onto face masks.  These are a skin luxury you need to make time for.  I like the sachets of Dr Organic Snail Slime moisture mask from Holland and Barratt and they're very affordable.  I also got sent some masks sheets recently that I was impressed with from Timeless Truth http://www.beautifulpr.com/timeless-truth-pr01  There are some variations in this range.  The deep cleansing masks and relaxing masks such as the Charcoal Detox mask and Calming Multipeptide mask, the results are immediate, with just one use skin is left hydrated, plump and radiant.  The Bio-Cellulose range (the anti-ageing Bee Venom, Apple Stem Cell Collagen & Eye-Masks) deliver intense hydration in one single application - bio-cellulose is considered one of the purest materials on the market today, derived from coconut fibres, and able to hold 100X its weight in serum, penetrating the skin deeply hydrating it.  These masks can be kept in the fridge and used around 3-4 times before disposal.  I really like how they immediately took any puffiness away and the skin was visually plumper and soft to touch.  I also like to use Purederm Anti Wrinkle gel patches for under my eyes to take puffiness down, these are relatively inexpensive from Holland and Barratt.


I have learned a lot about skincare since going to clinics and have changed my skin routine drastically, binning all products containing nasty chemicals a parabens.  I have noticed a strong difference in my skin since doing this.  Hardly any break outs, significantly less white heads, less oiliness, (my skin was producing a lot of sebum to protect itself fro all the chemicals), softer, plumper and pinker skin with a noticeable softening of fine lines.  My skin feels clean and comfortable, whereas it used to feel quite irritated and greasy.  So it is definitely worth having an overhaul of your skincare routine and searching the ingredients of the products that you buy as you could be doing more harm than good.

Hair at Halls of Ivy Romford

I have been to Halls Of Ivy as a model for practice with trainees for years now.  I have had many things done from Acrylic Nails to Waxing to Massage and Facials.  I have now decided to model for the Level 3 apprentice hairdressers for highlights.  I have always had a good experience regarding my treatments at Halls of Ivy.  Very professional, safe, friendly and enjoyable. 

Chantelle of hair and Beauty Clinic in Chadwell Heath as my hairdresser for the day.  Chantelle was friendly, had a good rapport and it was obvious that she enjoys what she does.  We decided on caramel colours to contrast my brunette hair.  Foils were used and this took a while so I was made comfortable with cups of tea and magazines.  After Chantelle cut my hair into a choppy bob and blow dried to my preference.  I was amazed at the lift in colour, it gave me a whole new look without being too obvious.  The cut gave my hair more shape and appearance of volume.  It exceeded my
expectations.
