Here are just some of the types of presentations I regularly receive:

1. Patients often say people tell them they look tired, or ask if they are worried, or have they done something to upset the patient, when none of these apply.
2. They want to keep their job
3. They want to get a new job
4. They could be in line for a promotion
5. They are single now
6. Their children have grown up and now it’s time for themselves
7. They just want to look a bit fresher

But the most common, new, presentation is can I slow the appearance of aging down?

More and more presentations involve questions about a sensible prevention program.

Is it possible?

The answer is ABSOLUTELY.

How does a sensible aging-prevention program work?

First of all, we can’t totally stop aging, most reasonable people would know this.

But we can slow it to a crawl by keeping the natural forces going that keep as looking fresh and appropriate for our age.

We can generate improved elasticity, control the surface appearances of fine lines and reduce the range of movement of our facial expression muscles and lots more.

Stay looking the best you can for as long as you can? ABSOLUTELY.

Can we combine ‘cure’ with ‘prevention’

Even though there is excellent medical and scientific technology there is no ‘cure’ for aging but you can ABSOLUTELY combine reducing what signs of aging we see now and slow down further degeneration.

We can make the skin fit tighter to the frame of the face….Thermage

We can reduce the sun damage…….Fraxel Restore

We can produce a more uniform complexion…..Fraxel Dual

We can replace lost volume that allows the face to sag………permanently or semi-permanently

We can reduce the signs of wrinkles that appear when we frown, squint or become surprised…..wrinkle injections

We can reduce areas of fat, bits that won’t budge…..Coolsculpting

Have I left it too long to do something?

My patients are young and old. It’s never too late, just a matter of choices and expectations.

Likewise, we at epiclinic® use advanced technologies to record and monitor the true changes we have made so you, the patient, can be certain about results, where they appear and by how much.

Before and after photos are usually NOT very reliable so you won’t find too many on this website. At epiclinic® we believe it is important to show real evidence of outcomes, not spruked with photoshop editing or soft-focus lenses.

3D scanning with micron-capable technology gives us truthful interpretations, allowing the patient to see their features from angles only others see.

But more importantly, our technology allows us to physically measure where changes have occurred, so if we told you that you can expect lifting of sagging areas, we can measure it by superimposing the pre-treatment scan, with the post-treatment result.

Can we show you what changes have been delivered? ABSOLUTELY!

Treating the masseter muscle with cosmetic injections helps to resolve jaw clenching, teeth grinding and headaches that can be are caused by this muscle. A single treatment can bring relief for several months. Some patients even find that the muscles begin to become weaker after a few sessions, so injections can be performed increasingly less often and may eventually become unnecessary.

These injections target only the problematic jaw muscles, so surrounding muscles are left intact and jaw function is uncompromised. In fact, most patients who undergo this therapy as a treatment for jaw tension or TMJ disorder find that functionality increases when the pain of opening and closing their jaw goes away.

As we age many of us experience undesirable thin loose skin, lack of skin elasticity, volume loss, jowling and multiple lines in our neck and jaw.  As part of epiclinic’s® unwavering commitment to provide the latest in anti aging treatments, we offer the “Nefertiti Lift” – an effective non surgical mini lift to rejuvenate the neck and jaw!

The “Nefertiti Lift” treatment at epiclinic® is performed within 10 minutes. Elevating the corners of the mouth, lifting and improving definition of the jaw line, it is a standalone treatment lasting, on average, 6 months. The Nefertiti Lift is performed using anti-wrinkle injectables. Over the last 2 decades, the use of injectables for aesthetic enhancement has dramatically increased. With almost immediate effects & no down time, more patients are seeking treatments that can repair & prevent premature aging. The Nefertiti Lift demonstrates the ability to provide non – invasive solutions with excellent results.

So what can we do to treat hyperhidrosis? In medicine we always advise simple things first. Topical treatments
such as frequent showering and drying of the affected area and using anti-perspirants with high aluminium
content are the first-line. Oral medication is rarely sufficient, as patients usually cannot tolerate dosages
high enough to control the sweating (due to the side effects of dry mouth and blurred vision). Iontophoresis,
although time consuming, has been shown to be effective for palmar hyperhidrosis. In the past, the last
available option was surgery to destroy the sympathetic nerve ganglia supplying the affected area.

Anti Wrinkle injections work by blocking the communication between the sympathetic nerves and the
sweat glands. The effect mimics surgery without the risks of nerve damage, scarring, and compensatory
hyperhidrosis elsewhere in the body. Clinical studies show that Anti-wrinkle substances injections produce a 90% reduction in
sweat production. This drops the sweat level to easily managed levels for most patients so that sweating rarely
if ever interferes with their daily activities.

The effects of the treatment for hyperhidrosis last up to 12 months. Patients just love the result once they’ve
had their first treatment, and insist on getting “top-ups” as soon as they notice the coverage dropping (at
around the 9 month mark). Case studies show that with repeated injections the sweat control gets better
(patients become more confident in the treatment, and the emotional component of sweating is lessened) and
tends to last longer.

Liposculpture is a major refinement in the technique of liposuction. Liposculpture is performed under local anaesthetic and is a minimally invasive body sculpting procedure that provides amazing results for patients. This technique is less upsetting to your body than other treatments, as the instruments are smaller and use very small skin punctures, resulting in little or no visible scars. The best candidates for liposculpture should have firm elastic skin, be in relatively good health and efforts should have been made in the initial to remove fat by means of excercise and diet.

Patients with distinctive areas of localised fat, which is uneven to the rest of their bodies, such as the inner and outer thighs, knees, hip, buttocks and abdomen can be treated with the help of a liposuction surgeon.

Tumescent liposuction offers many benefits to patients, being only a relatively minor removal of tissue it can lead to a dramatic improvement in body shape and contour. Virtually any area of fat accumulation can be treated with liposculpture. The major advantages of having a liposculpture treatment are that patient experience minimal bleeding and bruising, resulting in a shorter recovery time. No general anaesthetic or hospital stay is needed and results are more predictable and controllable with final adjustments made towards the end of the procedure. If you want to banish that undesired and stubborn fat it is worth visiting a liposuction clinic and discussing the best treatment plan for you.

There are a number of components to an aging face; mostly people experience fine lines and wrinkles, loss of volume in the cheeks, loss of elasticity and the changing of skin pigmentation such as age spots. A facelift can correct many parts of the face to improve the appearance including tightening loose skin, eliminating deep creases below the eyed lids and along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth. Today’s plastic surgery facelift techniques address the underlying structures of the face and help tighten the facial muscles, for longer lasting effects.

One of a cosmetic facelift’s most noticeable benefits is restoration of your facial contour. It can restore a smooth, youthful look to the cheeks and lower eyelids. A facelift procedure can create a more attractive jaw line and smoothes the neck.

If performed correctly a cosmetic face lift appears very natural, with the aim of facelift surgery being to leave scars that are as inconspicuous as possible and in most cases, scars fade considerably with time. A facelift procedure will make you look refreshed and more youthful.

A facelift performed to correct sagging skin before the development of lines and wrinkles will often prevent the formation of these lines and wrinkles for many years and thus preserve a more youthful complexion.

Whilst typical methods of alleviating the signs of facial lines and wrinkles involve the use of over the counter creams and lotions, these can often prove expensive and ineffective.

Some of the best anti-wrinkle treatments are anti-wrinkle injections. These injections are used in very small doses to immobilise select muscles of the face, the most common being to the forehead, brow, cheeks and the ‘crow’s feet’ which appear around the eyes. Other areas such as chin or neck may also be suitable.

Once the agent has been injected into the muscle, it becomes relaxed and the ‘crinkles’ of the skin lie flat and hence, the wrinkles are softened significantly.

Anti wrinkle products have become a staple for most aging women, and even some men. There are many products on the market today that are intended to slow down the aging process and define wrinkles in a variety of different ways. Some of these products plump up the skin by adding much needed moisture. As we age, our skin becomes drier, and wrinkles are the result of a breakdown of collagen and a loss of moisture. Some men and woman choose to use anti-wrinkle remedies.

By visiting your specialist cosmetic clinic you can learn more about the available treatments for facial lines and wrinkles and effectively remove the visible signs of aging, for a natural, rejuvenated sense of youth and vitality in your appearance.

Advancement in anti-wrinkle technology and techniques have allowed for more options and less invasive procedures. Anti-wrinkle treatments can now be performed with little downtime, risks, recovery, pain and cost. When performed properly, anti-wrinkle remedies can turn back the hands of time, firming the muscle tone, evening the skin, and restoring an attractive facial contour.

The latest and one of the best anti wrinkle treatment is laser removal. The Fraxel Laser is revolutionary laser treatment to help you regain a more youthful look. The laser treatment stimulates the cells to produce more new collagen and restores the elasticity to the skin. The Fraxel Laser is versatile and can treat a number of skin cases including, skin resurfacing, fines lines and uneven pigmentation. Anti-wrinkle treatments can improve texture, tone and most importantly smooth wrinkles and age spots.

If you want restore your confidence by eliminating those fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance it is working considering an anti-wrinkle treatment.
