Q&A
YOUR COSMETIC PROCEDURE QUESTIONS
ANSWERED BY MR AMIR NAKHDJEVANI OF
BELLA VOU, TUNBRIDGE WELLS
QUESTION:
Summer is around the corner, and we all
want to look our best. What procedures are
available to help achieve a summer-ready
body without a long recovery time?
ANSWER:
With warmer weather finally upon us and the
summer holidays within sight, many people
will be looking forward to dusting off their
swimwear and preparing to hit the beach.
However, for others the prospect of exposing
a little more skin can cause anxiety and our
thoughts understandably turn to getting our
bodies ‘summer ready’.
Fortunately there is a range of cosmetic
treatments and procedures that can help give
you the confidence to strut your stuff this
summer. Many of the most popular aesthetic
procedures are minimally invasive, allowing
you to hit the beach only a few days after
being treated.
CHEMICAL PEELS
To give your face a real glow this summer,
consider treating yourself to a chemical peel to
improve your skin's appearance and to turn
back the clock. Chemical peels are very
effective at combating wrinkles, lines, acne
scars and rough skin and reveals refreshed
and regenerated skin after treatment which
is smoother and more radiant. The effects of
a good peel will last up to 12 months.
SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP
A little makeup can certainly help to
accentuate your best features, but with all that
sun, sea and sand there’s a good chance your
products will be washed off, leaving you with
panda eyes and smudged lipstick – which
probably isn’t the look you’re going for!
Fortunately, semi-permanent makeup can
help; by inserting small amounts of pigment
into the dermal layer of the skin the technique
can be used to enhance your eyebrows, lips
or eyeline, or lashes and lasts for up to 18
months.
LIPOSUCTION / BODY CONTOURING
For most of us, hitting the gym and eating
right just isn’t enough to achieve a perfect
bikini body. Liposuction can help to remove
stubborn fat from your problem areas to create
a more toned look where dieting and exercise

aren’t achieving this, or if you’re like me, your
resolve to diet and exercise is lacking! This
procedure is a great option for both men and
women who want to reduce a little volume
on their tummy, love handles or thighs.
VARICOSE VEIN REMOVAL
Women are often self-conscious about
varicose veins and spider veins on their legs,
and as a consequence will avoid wearing
shorts, dresses or swimwear. Sclerotherapy is
a popular treatment that involves injecting a
saline solution into the veins, causing them
to break down and be reabsorbed into the
body. In most cases the treated veins will fade
within a few weeks, leaving you to concentrate
on getting a great tan with confidence!
CELLULITE TREATMENTS
If you are unhappy with stretch marks or
cellulite and would like to improve the look
of your skin and show it off with pride this
summer, then dermal roller (Maseotherapy)
treatment can help. A roller with fine needles
is applied all over the affected area to
encourage skin cell renewal. Vitamin rich anti-
aging creams are then applied to the area,
penetrating deeper due to the very fine needle
holes to rejuvenate dimpled, puckered or
stretched skin.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
If your breasts are a bit smaller than you’d like
or if you’ve lost volume from pregnancy and
breastfeeding, implants can help you to fill
out your bikini top this summer. Breast
augmentation is consistently one of the most
popular cosmetic surgical procedures and can
help you to finally achieve the summer body
you’ve always wanted.
Whether or not you decide to undergo an
aesthetic treatment this summer, don’t forget
to regularly apply a good quality sun cream
to reduce the risk of sunburn and avoid
premature skin aging. Look for products with
a high factor UVA and UVB rating, and
remember to apply the cream to your lips as
well as your face!
