Our lips thin with age and demonstrate less fullness and projection when viewed both in front and in profile This process is called soft tissue atrophy and commonly affects the lips and corner of the mouth. As these areas become less plump, they wrinkle more easily and the mouth develops a “mouth frown”, a very ageing sign. Another ageing sign are smoker’s lines or vertical lip wrinkles in the skin on the top lip resulting from the constant use of certain facial expressions such as pursing lips, chewing, sipping from a straw or bottle and even talking. These wrinkles can become evident form an early age especially if one has an overactive muscle around the mouth.

Creating natural looking improvements in the lip area often requires a combination of treatment modalities.

At Elan Medical Skin Clinic, our Nurse Consultant has over 20 years experience in creating natural looking improvements aroud the lips and mouth. ‘ Treatments should always look natural and not over-done”.

“We often combine a combination of treatments to the lip and mouth area, in order to achieve a natural looking lips” says Sue Ibrahim, “and ageing lips require a very gentle touch”.

At Elan Medical Skin Clinic we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest standards of care.

The secret to soft, natural lips with Restylane

Both Restylane Kysse and Juvederm Volbella provide soft, natural looking lip enhancements and Sue Ibrahim, our Nurse Practitioner has over fifteen years experience in creating beautiful lips using Restylane, in fact Restylane was the first synthetic filler around 15 years ago.

What kind of product is Restylane Kysse?

It has been specially designed and formulated for injecting into the lips for enhancement and contouring of thin looking lips, the cupid’s bow, or to simply add fullness. It is structured to withstand the range of mouth movements and all Restylane products are completely broken down within the skin over a period of months, eventually leaving no trace of the filler.

How safe is treatment with Restylane?

Providing you are treated by a qualified and experienced doctor or nurse practitioner, you should be in good hands.

Most of our clients only report slight swelling following treatment which normally resolves within a day or two. Occasionally, a small bruise may be seen at the injection site but this normally fades within a week.

Of course, there are risks associated with any skin or lip filler, like temporary palpable lumpiness has been noted after injection. Localised reactions thought to be of a hypersensitivity nature have been reported in about 1 in every 2000 treated patients. Redness, tenderness and rarely acneform papules may occur. In addition in rare cases (in less than 1 in 15,000 treatments) granuloma, superficial necrosis and urticaria have been reported. This is the reason why these procedures should only be carried out by registered medical practitioners in an inspected clinical environment.

Rejuvenate your eyes at Elan Medical Skin Clinics in central London and Essex

Our eyes say so much about us. They reveal our happiness, sorrow, physical wellbeing and sometimes our age. How many times has the morning after a boozy night been given away by our puffy, red eyes?! And where do we concentrate most of our make-up techniques and beauty products?

Get a helping hand to ensure your eyes look radiant and rejuvenated from Elan Medical Skin Clinics in central London and Essex. Our resident skin expert, Sue Ibrahim has more than 30 years’ experience in dermatology and more than 20 in wrinkle reducing injections and dermal fillers.

Smooth laughter lines

Lines and wrinkles around our eyes can make us look tired, stressed and less youthful. Wrinkle reducing injections can radically reduce the appearance of fine lines, frown and laughter lines and wrinkles, as well as widening the eyes for a more youthful, fresher, revitalised appearance.

Elan DermaActives

Rejuvenate your eyes with the Elan DermaActives EyeRenew Serum, which, in clinical studies, found the skin became firmer and more elastic in appearance in as little as 8 weeks.

This highly concentrated treatment is a botanical remedy that targets concerns typically associated with ageing. Rich in saponosides and flavonoids, this serum strengthens capillaries and reactivates microcirculation in and around the eye area. Skin complexion becomes more even resulting in a younger and a more vibrant appearance.

Eye rejuvenation

Elan Medical Skin Clinic is dedicated to providing the safest, most effective cosmetic treatments on the market, which is why we use the EndyMed 3Deep Intensif Fractional Microneedle Skin Remodelling System.

Throughout the course of the Intensif treatment and for 3-5 months afterwards, the treated skin around your eyes will be replaced by new, healthy and younger looking skin.

The treated skin will become smoother, tighter and more vital. As most of the energy is delivered directly into the inner layer of the skin, you will experience minimal downtime and may resume normal activities immediately after treatment – a considerable advantage over surgical interventions.

Plasma Soft Surgery Blepharoplasty

We are delighted to offer plasma surgery to help dramatically reduce hooded eyelids and bags under the eyes. This revolutionary cosmetic procedure is ideal for eyelid rejuvenation and improves baggy lower and upper eyelids, and treats fine lines.

The visible results are similar to those seen with eyelid surgery but without the need for a single cut or stitch. And unlike traditional blepharoplasty surgery, recovery time is usually between 2-4 weeks. Plasma Soft Surgery at Elan Medical Skin Clinic is performed under an anaesthetic cream or a local anaesthetic injection to ensure our clients’ comfort.

“Sue is great – gives great advice – trust her totally.”

“Wish I had come years ago. I’ve been made to feel so special by all the staff and so happy with results of my treatment.”

“Very satisfied & exceeded expectations.”

“I had fillers last year in London and was left with horrific results. I lost all my confidence and didn’t leave the house for days. I was so desperate for my lips to go back to normal. I was then recommended Elan Medical. Sue was amazing; she calmed me down and told me it will all be fine and was also shocked to see my botched job. Sue injected product into my lips and within minutes I had my normal lips back. Sue gave me my confidence back and I was able to get my life back. Sue is so genuine and realistic and is not there to take your money like other clinics from previous experience, she will only treat you if she feels you need it. Amazing!”

Dermal fillers – trust skin expert Sue Ibrahim at Elan Medical Skin Clinics in central London and Essex

You wouldn’t let a builder near your teeth or a plumber perform laser eye surgery, so why would anyone let someone unqualified and inexperienced near their face with a needle for dermal fillers?

In the UK anyone can perform dermal fillers. Yes, anyone. It makes you shudder doesn’t it? The skin expert at Elan Medical Skin Clinics in Rayleigh and central London knows only too well the after effects of letting unqualified beauticians carry out delicate dermal fillers. Sue Ibrahim is often called on to carry out filler reversal treatments and Botox re-treatments due to botched attempts.

Price should never be the determining factor for dermal fillers – experience and qualifications should. This is your face we are talking about: the thing that everyone looks at when they see you in person.

Experience

Beauticians and hairdressers often say they have X years experience but in that time they may have only carried out a few dermal filler treatments. As well as having more than 20 years’ experience, Sue Ibrahim has performed dermal filler treatment on a daily basis for over 15 years! Sue is a nurse consultant in dermatology, so she really does deserve the title of skin expert and in July 2016 she received a Safety in Beauty Diamond Award. Sue knows skin, so you’ll be in safe hands.

Using advanced injection techniques, most clients report that facial and lip filler treatments with Sue Ibrahim are quick, painless and produce instant results. As an expert in her field, Sue will carefully consider your facial structure and profile to naturally enhance your appearance.

Leading products – with excellent reputations

As we all know, there’s white wine and there’s white wine! The same goes for dermal fillers. Skin fillers can provide truly excellent results – when carried out by the right person – and Elan Medical Skin Clinic is delighted to offer a new generation of dermal filler that is more comfortable and can last up to 18 months in the skin.

At Elan Medical Skin Clinics we use Restylane and Juvederm – the very best products on the market. With Restylane and Juvederm we know the product will perform consistently every time we use it. It is carefully monitored and tested and we are assured of the outcome.

Yes there are cheaper products on the market but when it comes to injecting a product into your face, we want the best – and so should you. We have all seen the photos of what happens when cheaper products are used by unqualified beauticians.

A combined, holistic approach

Sue is a firm believer in getting the right outcome, rather than being focused on specific treatments. In order to get the best result the skin needs to be in tiptop condition. The treatment is then the icing on the cake and your recovery time is quicker.
