Home » Blog » Anti-ageing and Rejuvenation

There are a lot of treatments out there that claim to reveal younger and wrinkle-free skin. It can be a little overwhelming when it comes to deciding which treatment is going to give you the best results for your skin.

At The Private Clinic, we have a team of specialist skin practitioners who are highly experienced in dealing with all skin issues and they have put together their best 5 non-surgical facial treatments that work for reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Wrinkle Relaxing Injections

Wrinkle relaxing injections are our top choice when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Made up of a protein called botulinum toxin type A the solution when injected in small doses works to relax the muscles in your face which cause the lines and wrinkles to appear. The result is a smoother and wrinkle reduced appearance. Wrinkle relaxing injections are very effective for forehead lines, lines around the eyes, lines in between the eyes, neck lines and lip lines.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Resurfacing is a great innovative treatment to rejuvenate damaged skin and tackle signs of ageing.

There are three types of Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment available; Pearl, Pearl Fractional and Pearl Fusion.

Pearl is often most suitable for finer wrinkles whereas Pearl Fractional is often used for deeper wrinkles. Pearl Fusion is a combination of both treatments and may be suggested for deeper wrinkles too.

The treatments involve pulses of light being emitted to the skin in a pre-selected pattern. The heat of the laser works to target the deeper tissues under the skin surface which helps to generate new collagen productions which results in an overall smoother skin. The skin will immediately form a type of natural protective dressing which helps to minimise downtime and instantly start the skin restoration process.

Quick Treatment Facts

Name: Laser Skin Resurfacing, Pearl Skin Resurfacing, Pearl Fractional, Pearl Fusion
Pain: Mild, topical anaesthetic can be applied to minimise discomfort
Length of treatment: 20 – 30 mins
Downtime: 5-8 days – your skin will go through a peeling process 3-5 days post treatment.
Results: Results can start to be seen after one treatment and healing takes place over 5-7 days. The best results are seen after a course of treatment.
Number of treatments required: Course of 3 treatments spaced a month apart.
Cost: Starts from £500
Locations: London Harley Street
