Sk:n Clinics

With so many slim and beautiful celebrities featured across various social media networks each day it's hardly surprising we can feel a little self conscious at times. The 'perfect' beach body takes time to achieve, especially after having kids, and we don't all have nutritionists, personal trainers or nannys to have the children while we jump on the treadmill for a few hours! 

We generally all have lumps and bumps that we aren't happy about and despite our best efforts we don't always have the time or energy to put ourselves and our appearance first when our families take priortiy. 

I guess that's where Sk:n Clinics come in - they can help you to create the image you really dream of quickly and efficiently.

Apart from anti-wrinkle injections to make us feel younger and skin tightening proceedures to give a more smoothed and toned look, Sk:n clinics offer laser hair removal treatments to prevent hair growth in those unwanted places. Now in particular is an ideal time of year to get booked in too; before spring and summer arrive and we spend our days lounging on the beach or in the garden in swimwear! 

It's one less thing to worry about.

 If you think about how long you spend shaving, waxing and using painful epilators it is definitely something to consider. There are many laser hair removal reviews you can have a read through beforehand to see if it's something you wish to endure and to give yourself peace of mind by finding out about others experiences.

Laser Hair Removal - Process

It's a very straight forward process that begins with your thorough consultation at a Sk:n clinic and test patches. There is also a review after your 4th session, as Sk:n really understands how important it is to take take care of and make time for their clients, where you will receive vouchers and products too!

• Trained staff provide you with goggles and discuss the treatment with you fully
• The treatment takes 15-45 minutes depending upon the area size
• Cool air or gel is applied to the area and little or no pain is felt
• For best results treatments need to be repeated every 6 weeks (laser facial hair removal is every 4 weeks) for 8 months

Laser Hair Removal - How it Works

The dark pigment in hair attracts the laser and becomes a conductor. The laser travels to the folicle and damages it which prevents the hair from growing back as quickly. The hair regrowth then slows with each of your treatments

.

Laser hair removal prices are probably considerably cheaper than you would expect (I was quite pleasantly surprised) so you won't need to break the bank in the process.

Time For A Tummy Tuck?

For those people who want a tummy tuck, there are two types of surgeries to consider. If you are looking to remove excess fat and tighten the muscles, then the full tummy tuck is the most suitable option. However, for those who have undergone dramatic weight loss and would like to remove the excess skin left behind, then a mini tummy tuck is the ideal procedure.

A flat stomach creates a more slender shape, which can help to make people feel as though they’re returning to a younger, trimmer body. A tummy tuck, medically referred to as an abdominoplasty, trims the sagging areas from your stomach and tightens the abdominal muscles. This creates a tighter, leaner abdomen.

Mini tummy tuck

For those who are already close to their ideal weight, but want to get rid of any saggy skin from the lower section of the abdomen, then a mini tummy tuck may be the best procedure to choose. The surgery is less invasive than a full tummy tuck and usually takes around 1.5 hours to complete, during which time the patient is under a General Anaesthetic. 

Full tummy tuck

A full tummy tuck aims to remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen as well as tightening these muscles to give the stomach a flatter appearance. As this is considered a major surgery, the procedure will take approximately 2.5 hours under General Anaesthetic. Depending on the extent of fat the patient would like to have removed, there are different incisions that may be made. One is at the naval and the other is a suprapubic incision (this is a hip to hip incision that is made below the underwear line). For those having a mini tummy tuck rather than a full tummy tuck, it is likely that only the suprapubic incision will be required and the naval will not have to be repositioned. 

Recovery time

According to mya.co.uk following any type of abdominoplasty an overnight stay in hospital is usual. Some patients may even need to spend two nights which is completely normal. This is then followed by resting at home for a few weeks. The stomach will be swollen and bruised, usually for a period of around one to three weeks. Any pain should subside within two weeks, but patients should not begin to attend the gym or undertake any heavy lifting for around six weeks after the operation.
