What would be best option to get rid of the red veins on my nose? They have become very unsightly. I am only 35 and I feel they makes me look older. Derick Peacock, London
I completely understand that thread veins on any part of the face can pose an aesthetic issue. The most common causes for thread veins are genetic predisposition, lifestyle (such as excess alcohol consumption) and excess sun exposure. They are often caused by a combination of all the above.
We have two effective options available for our clients:
A) OFF: A small electric current that blocks the vessels and prevents blood supply to the thread veins.
B) Special laser to the area to remove the veins.
Obviously, the doctor in your consultation would decide on the best option for you.
I have reached that stage of life where I need a little help with my skin. I really want any procedures to look natural though, not like Botox or fillers. I hear that Mesotherapy is an option that looks natural; can you advise me please? Anna Berks, Richmond
An increasing number of people are expressing their objection to unnatural looking procedures such as Botox and fillers. When these treatments are overdone, they can look fake and can distort a person’s facial features. Mesotherapy is an option, but it will only address the superficial layers of the skin without addressing volume loss. It is often the volume loss that has the greatest contribution to an older appearance.
We suggest the following:
Plasma gel: This is a filler that we produce from your own blood. We then re-inject it into the areas of volume loss.
Fat transfer: This a procedure where your own belly fat is injected using a special technique to achieve long-lasting results.
Both of these methods use natural, rather than artificial methods to improve appearance.
