M E L A N O M A

The reason we encourage annual skin checks.

👩🏻‍⚕️Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer that arises from the pigment-producing cells called melanocytes.
👩🏻‍⚕️It can develop anywhere on the skin and, unlike some other cancers, can spread (metastasize) to distant organs if not detected early.
👩🏻‍⚕️Look for new or changing moles or spots on the skin: asymmetry, irregular or jagged borders, multiple colors or uneven color, a diameter larger than 6mm or any rapid change in size, shape, or thickness.
👩🏻‍⚕️Also watch for itching, tenderness, oozing, crusting, or a spot that looks different from others nearby.
👩🏻‍⚕️If you notice any of these changes or a new dark spot rather come and see me.
👩🏻‍⚕️Diagnosis is often clinical but confirmed by a punch or excision biopsy which is a simple in office procedure done under local anaesthetic.

Lip filler is often what gives the aesthetic industry a bad name, but it doesn’t have to!

These are the tips for good lip filler:
- Filler comes in a 1ml vial. Do your lips in 2 sessions especially if you have small lips. 0.5ml today and 0.5ml 2-4 weeks later.
- Ask your injector to keep it natural! Your lips shouldn’t enter the room first.
- Take note of the product being used and make sure you are in safe hands. Restylane Kysse is my favourite!
- Explore the techniques. If the injector only does ‘Russion doll lips’ then maybe think twice. I use Julie Horne’s fencing technique and the result is always natural.
- Respect the timelines. Don’t do lip filler too frequently or lip tissue will simply stretch and we can’t fix that. I advise every 9 months, earliest I would reinject is at 6 months only if the previous filler has been broken down.

As we age lip filler is actually a great thing to do as our lips roll in with age. Lip filler simply replaces what are you losing and retains your vermillion border.

Please always remember to time your appointments as even with small amounts there can be swelling and bruising for 7-10 days, so not before a big party please☺️

PSORIASIS

What is it?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition causing skin cells to multiply rapidly, forming thick, inflamed, and scaly patches.

What causes it?
While the exact cause remains unclear, triggers include genetics, environmental factors, stress, and infections.

How is it diagnosed?
On clinical examination and occasionally punch biopsy and histology.

How do we treat?
Treatments range from topical creams for mild cases to light therapy and systemic medications for severe symptoms.

PRECISION MATTERS

I am most definitely a type A personality and with this comes OCD like levels of detail and precision in most things I do🤣

Whenever I inject an aesthetic patient (as my patients would know) I draw some art on your face☺️
This gives me a road map that I then stick to once injections have started. This is so important as anatomy changes as you inject due to potential bruising, swelling and if using filler - the filler itself.

So when you see me whipping out my pencil before the needle just allow me my process, relax and know you are in safe hands☺️

BRUXISM

The medical term for the clenching and grinding of teeth. It can occur during the day or during sleep and over time can cause severe dental damage, jaw pain, tension headaches and worn down enamel.

At the Centre we treat bruxism with botulinum toxin injections into the masseter muscle (3 per side). This temporarily relaxes the muscle and reduces the action and effect of teeth grinding. And yes, it works like a charm🙌

I normally start with 30 units of Botulinum toxin and if need be increase to 50 units. This would be done 4-6 monthly.
