Treating what’s under the mask

Lumiere Medispa

In this months journal we look at five ways to get great skin following the Covid-19 Lockdown number three (yes that’s right - number three!). At Lumiere Medispa we feel there has never been a better time to treat your face and bring back your pre-lockdown self. You shouldn’t feel the need to cover up your skin in makeup to hide what’s underneath. Wouldn’t it be nicer to spend the time and effort on treating yourself and your skin and get that snap back!?

CellRenew Microneedling

Right from the outset, Adrian Baker, Director and Founder of Lumiere Medispa wanted to develop a unique skin care treatment for his clinic. Adrian already offered Microneedling but wanted to create a treatment that would push the boundaries, his aim was to enhance cellular turnover to create an even more effective treatment that would revolutionise, Microneedling.

February 18, 2020 Adrian Baker

As an NMC Registered Nurse I am duty bound to continue my education to ensure the efficacy and safety of the treatments I provide. Therefore I was delighted when Italian dermal filler manufacturer, IBSA, invited me to Milan for a Masterclass in the latest advancements in hyaluronic acid dermal fillers and the techniques developed to ensure a great result. Of course it was also a great opportunity to meet with other medical expert practitioners from around the globe.

Try Harder...For A Planet Friendly Cosmetic Clinic

January 9, 2020 Adrian Baker

This is a little different from my usual blog items. Instead of preserving and caring for the skin, I want to chat preserving and caring for the planet! It’s no longer just a “hippy movement” but a real change that is needed from each and every one of us! Those hippies were right all along!

I haven’t made a new years resolution this year, but a decade resolution, and it is this: To TRY HARDER! To take a moment of consideration in each of the actions I make and consider “could I try harder at making this item/action/impact better for the planet”.

The True Cost Of Cheap Lip Fillers

November 17, 2019 Adrian Baker

A recent BBC Documentary has highlighted the need for extra vigilance when choosing a practitioner for lip dermal fillers, or any non-surgical treatment for that matter.

Whilst the treatment is generally a safe procedure, there are still some very serious complications that can occur with dermal fillers. Even in the most experienced of hands complications can still arise. The ability to reduce this risk occuring in the first place is essential, as is the ability to effectively resolve the situation if a complication does occur.

Jawline Treatments With Dermal Filler and HIFU Skin Tightening

November 4, 2019 Adrian Baker

One of the most common complaints I hear from my patients is that they don’t like how their jawline has changed with age. It is a change that most of us will experience with age, or even with weight loss. The terms “saggy jawline” or “the w” are what I hear most often during skin consultations, so let’s discover why this happens and what we, at Lumiere MediSpa, can do to help.

Looking For The Best Facial In Oxford? Skin Peels and Stem Cells, LED Dermalux

October 14, 2019 Adrian Baker

So let’s get real here for a minute. You want actual skin changes and improvements right? Then I am so sorry to say that you need to forget about those lovely, relaxing, oil -laden facials that we all love so much. Yes that’s right! Even I am a sucker for a bit of a pamper, and absolutely if this is what you are looking to achieve from a facial by all means do so. The relaxation alone does actually have skin positive effects. But if you want your facial to focus on improving the health and function of the skin, and ultimately the fresher appearance of it, then you need to look to medi-facials. And regularly!

Botox or Dermal Filler?

September 11, 2018 Adrian Baker

The media often plays a role in the confusion around what a Botox treatment is and what a dermal filer treatment is; mis-reporting adverse events to sensationalise the very rare times when a treatment doesn't quite go to plan, and not even using the correct terminology to describe what the treatment was.

So lets set the record straight on exactly what the difference is between these two treatments.

The Lumiere Lift - A Combination Approach To Achieving A Natural Non-Surgical Facelift

June 18, 2018 Adrian Baker

Non-surgical Facelift At Lumiere MediSpa In Oxfordshire

In 2017, figures published by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) showed that the total number of face/neck lift fell by 44%, with women opting instead to have non-surgical procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers and HIFU for a more subtle rejuvenation of the ageing appearance.

The Benefits Of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

April 17, 2018 Adrian Baker

The nose plays a vital role in the overall appearance of the face; acting as the anchor and central feature of the face. When a person is unhappy with the shape of their nose, such as a crooked nose or nose bump, it can affect their self esteem greatly as it cannot be hidden and is always on full display. An aesthetically pleasing nose can even have positive judgement from another person, leaving someone who is unhappy with their nose feeling self conscious.

Beware Miracle Creams BUT Rely On Retinoids And Daily Defences

Beware Miracle Creams BUT Rely On Retinoids And Daily Defences

We've all done it, we've all regretted it, and we've all repeated this cycle over again. Buying overpriced deliciously scented face creams has become somewhat of a habit for the general population in the search for eternal youth in a pot. Marketing campaigns and celebrity endorsements fuel the habit making us believe this further. In reality, you are most likely paying over the odds for what is essentially a moisturiser that smells great, but is failing to deliver real skin changes.
