Which Treatment is best for the under eye area Polynucleotides or Tear Trough Fillers?


Polynucleotides treatments like Plenhyage, Plinest & Nucleofill


Under Eye Rejuvenation Treatments: Polynucleotides vs Fillers

Are you confused about under-eye injectable treatments?
Dr Teri Johnson explains the difference between two popular eye treatments, the pros and cons, and which concerns they treat the best.


Advantages of Polynucleotide (PN) Treatments:

Polynucleotides are often the most popular treatment for treating the under the eye. This is due to their regenerative nature, which provides natural-looking results perfect for addressing the problems seen under-eye area.

Here are some reasons why PN treatments may be favoured above tear trough fillers under the eye:

Tissue regeneration:

PN treatments stimulate the body’s natural regenerative processes, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation. This can help improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance under the eyes, addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.

Natural results:

PN treatments can provide more subtle and natural results than tear trough fillers, which can sometimes lead to overfilling or an unnatural appearance. By enhancing the body’s natural collagen production, PN treatments can yield more subtle and gradual improvements that blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

Non-invasive approach:

PN treatments are typically administered through minimally invasive injections, making them a preferred option for individuals who prefer non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures. This can result in minimal downtime and reduced risk of complications compared to tear trough fillers, which involve the injection of dermal fillers into the delicate under-eye area.

Long-term benefits:

While tear-trough fillers may provide immediate results, their effects can be temporary, requiring repeated treatments to maintain the desired outcome. In contrast, PN treatments can yield more sustained and long-term benefits, promoting natural collagen production and skin regeneration.

Safety profile:

PN treatments generally have a favourable safety profile, with minimal risk of adverse reactions or complications when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. This makes them a safer option for individuals concerned about the potential risks associated with tear trough fillers.


Disadvantages of Polynucleotides

While polynucleotide (PN) treatments have shown promising results in skin rejuvenation, there are disadvantages that individuals should be aware of before undergoing this procedure.

Limited immediate results:

Unlike some other cosmetic procedures, the results of PN treatments are not immediately apparent. It takes time for the body to respond to the treatment and for the desired improvements in skin texture and appearance to become noticeable.

Temporary nature of results:

While PN treatments can stimulate collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation, the results are not permanent. To maintain the desired outcomes, individuals may require multiple treatment sessions over time, which can involve ongoing time and financial commitments.

Varied individual responses:

The effectiveness of PN treatments can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as skin type, age, and overall health. Some individuals may experience more significant improvements than others, and the degree of response may not be predictable.

Cost considerations:

PN treatments can be relatively costly, especially when considering the need for multiple treatment sessions to achieve and maintain the desired results.


Advantages of Tear Trough Fillers

Tear trough fillers are a popular choice for addressing hollowing under the eyes. This is due to their ability to provide immediate and visible skin lifting.  Tear trough fillers are preferred under the eye for the following reasons:

Immediate results:

Tear trough fillers provide immediate volume correction by filling the hollow under the eyes. This quick and noticeable improvement is highly desirable for individuals seeking immediate results.

Targeted Lifting of Hollowing:

Tear trough fillers lift depressions under the eyes, reducing the appearance of under-eye hollows.

Customisable treatments:

Tear trough fillers allow for precise and customisable treatments tailored to the unique anatomical needs of each patient. A suitable individual filler can achieve a natural lift to improve the hollow under the eye area.

 


Disadvantages of Tear Trough Fillers

While tear trough fillers can effectively treat under-eye hollows, there are disadvantages to their use. It is, therefore essential for individuals considering this treatment to be aware of these factors.

Risk of complications:

While tear trough fillers are generally safe, there is a risk of potential complications. These include the common ones such as bruising, swelling, redness, or infection at the injection site. However, in rare cases, more severe complications like vascular occlusion can occur. An occlusion can cause skin ulceration and facial tissue damage, rarely lead to blindness.

Need for a high level of expertise:

For a successful tear trough filler treatment, you need a practitioner with experience. They need an excellent understanding of facial anatomy and understand how and where to treat delicate under-eye area. In inexperienced hands, there is an increased risk of improper placement, asymmetry, or overfilling, leading to an unnatural appearance.

Risk of nodules or lumps:

Individuals may sometimes develop small nodules or lumps at the injection site following tear trough filler treatment. You can sometimes massage these away, but your qualified practitioner can also dissolve them.

Filler Migration:

Tear trough fillers can migrate, causing unwanted swelling and puffiness in the nearby area. This can occur days to years later, and the swelling can last several years unless it is dissolved with hyaluronidase. Even when the treatment is performed in the most experienced hands, filler can easily migrate from the injected area.  No barrier holds the filler in the tear trough area, so it can move outside of the hollow area over time.

Longevity of the Filler.

While tear trough fillers offer immediate results, it is essential to note that their effects are temporary, typically lasting anything from six months to a year. However, some filler can remain in the treated area for several years. In fact, some MRI studies have shown filler can remain even five years after treatment.

In contrast, PN treatments may offer longer-term benefits by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. Polynucleotides do not stay in the skin for long and do not cause side effects later down the line. Should they migrate, they simply stimulate rejuvenation/revitalisation in the area.


How do you decide which treatment is for you?

The choice between tear trough fillers and PN treatments depends on individual preferences and their specific concerns. A comprehensive consultation with a specialist who understands the treatments can help determine the most suitable treatment. They will need to examine you, assess your anatomy and concerns and discuss with you how best to achieve your aesthetic goals.

At Cheshire Lasers, the following Doctors and Nurses perform Polynucleotide treatments and tear-trough fillers. If you are considering a treatment, we recommend you book a consultation with one of them to assess your concerns.


Do you prefer a non-injectable under-eye treatment?

Winter SOS Facials


 Winter SOS hydrating facial phformula


Do you get dry skin in the Winter? Have you ever wondered why?

In the colder months, more people suffer from dry skin in the UK. The air is drier in the winter, which predisposes to evaporation of moisture from the skin’s surface. The cold outdoor air and the dry indoor heating systems commonly used in the UK exacerbate this issue. These environmental conditions decrease the skin’s natural moisture content, leading to dryness, flakiness, and tightness.

Frequent temperature fluctuations between cold outdoor environments and heated indoor spaces can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier function. This can compromise the skin’s ability to retain moisture, making it more susceptible to dryness and irritation. This lipid barrier helps seal in moisture to protect the skin from external stressors, but if weakened, it allows water to escape and irritants to penetrate more easily.

How can I prevent dry skin in the Winter?

Skin needs extra hydration and support to maintain the skin barrier this time of year. If the barrier is broken down, it will need even more TLC to help repair the problem.

Here at Cheshire Lasers, we have various SOS home treatments specially formulated to address these problems. With daily use, they can treat or prevent the problems you encounter this time of year.  Find out more about our SOS products here. 

Using a humidifier at home can help increase indoor humidity levels, counteracting the effects of dry heating systems.

Consider changing your cleansers to something more gentle avoiding perfumes and stronger acids.

We also recommend our Winter pHformula Facials.

What does the Winter SOS Hydrating Facial Involve?

Step 1: Cleanse EXFO Cleanse

Step 2: Skin is primed to improve the absorption of the active ingredients.

Step 3: Optional: LED Light Therapy for 25 minutes for a Deluxe Treatment

Step 4: Gentle skin resurfacing treatment depending on your skin type:  SP Complex, Dermabrasion Cream, CR Complex 1-2 or INSTANT Mask

Step 5: Mask to suit your skin type: SOS Sheet Mask, HYDRA Gel Mask, or Advanced Peel-Off Mask.

Step 6: Vita C Boost Treatment

Step 7: POST Recovery Cream

Step 8: SPF

Aqualyx


Aqualyx FAT dissolving treatments


What is Aqualyx?

AQUALYX™ is a solution developed for the non-surgical reduction of localised fat under the skin. It is an injectable solution that dissolves fat and is biocompatible and biodegradable.  it provides a form of injection lipolysis, also known as lipotherapy or intralipotherapy.

Aqualyx is a compound solution from the deoxycholate family. It works as a slow-release system, which results in minimal side effects. Deoxycholic acid has been used in various fields of human medicine since its discovery. Present also in the human body; deoxycholic acid emulsifys fats for absorption in the intestine.

It has been available internationally since 2009. The manufacturer advises that 2,000,000 vials have been used for patient treatments in 40 countries worldwide.

Aqualyx is manufactured by the Italian firm Marllor and was first launched in the UK in 2013.

It is a medical device that was given a European CE Mark in December 2012.


How does Aqualyx work?

After injecting Aqualyx solution into the fatty area of concern, the cell membranes become more permeable. The fat cells then start to balloon and break up, leading to the drainage of microdroplets of fatty liquid into the body. The body then metabolises or excretes the fat.


What happens during treatment?

After injecting local anaesthetic in the treatment area, the Aqualyx solution is injected into the problem area.


How long does an Aqualyx treatment take?

The time taken for a treatment session will depend upon the size of the area.
Treatment can take between 30 – 60 minutes


How many Treatments will I need?

Most people require 2 – 8 treatments, four weeks apart. Some people may, however, see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions.

Treatment for smaller fat pockets underneath the neck and chin, for example, may require 1 – 3 treatments, while treatment for fat pockets on the hips and thighs may require eight treatments.


Which areas can Aqualyx treat?

Aqualyx can treat stubborn fat pockets in a number of areas that are difficult to remove through diet and exercise alone.

Body areas include:

  • Hips
  • Outer Thighs
  • Hips ( love handles)
  • Stomach
  • Arms

Facial areas include:

  • Double Chin
  • Jowls

Aqualyx is not a weight loss solution.


How long do the results of Aqualyx last?

The results of an Aqualyx treatment are permanent if you don’t gain weight.

Once the fat cells are broken down, they don’t reappear.
However, the procedure is only permanent if you follow a healthy diet and exercise frequently following treatment. If you regain weight, it is likely that the fat pockets will reappear. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the results should be permanent.


Side effects & risks of Aqualyx

People treated with AQUALYX will typically experience minimal side effects when compared to more invasive procedures, such as liposuction.

After each treatment, expect the following in the treatment area for four to six days:

  • swelling
  • redness
  • skin irritation
  • tenderness
  • slight bruising,

Some people may need to take over-the-counter pain relief to ease the initial discomfort

The manufacturers report no major side effects from AQUALYX.


Contraindications for Treatment

As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area treated, there are few medical reasons why you should not undergo this treatment.
We do not recommend AQUALYX for the following conditions:

  • pregnant
  • breast feeding.
  • lipodystrophy
  • infection
  • acute illness
  • blood thinning medication
  • diabetes
  • severe allergies
  • autoimmune diseases
  • acute or chronic skin diseases in the affected area
  • lymphatic disorders
  • renal disorders
  • keloid scarring
  • any other severe organic diseases.

Your suitability for treatment will be assessed during your consultation with Dr Hazlehurst.


After Care Advice

  • Avoid direct heat (sauna, sun etc) and severe cold and swimming pools for three days.
  • Avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen).
  • Avoid applying makeup to the area for at least 12 hours.
  • Avoid physical exercise for 4 – 5 days.
  • Do not undergo another aesthetic treatment in the same area for two weeks.

Osteopathy


Signature Health


Ariana Torti from Signature Health provides Osteopathy services here at Cheshire Lasers. She is a Naturopathic Osteopath who specialises in complex health conditions.

Osteopathy is a whole-person approach to health.

As highly trained healthcare professionals, osteopaths take the time to understand your individual history, circumstances and unique physiology so they can provide you with a personalised plan to get you as healthy as possible.

Osteopaths have the expertise and training to provide you with a thorough examination, taking the time to find out as much as possible about your current and past health history. They will also undertake physical examinations to ensure that they can provide the most suitable treatment plan or refer you to other healthcare professionals if required.


Osteopaths do NOT just treat backs!

Of course, they do, but Osteopaths treat all joints and muscle dysfunction in the body, from your head attachment to your neck down to your elbow, knees, ankles, fingers and feet.

Osteopathy is a system of healthcare which includes clinical reasoning, diagnosis, nutritional and lifestyle advice, exercise therapy and hands-on therapy. Osteopaths are highly-qualified healthcare practitioners with a Medical Sciences degree and a specialist knowledge of anatomy and musculoskeletal conditions. Osteopaths are recognised as Allied Health professionals by NHS England (as are paramedics, podiatrists and more). This puts Osteopaths on an equal standing to dentists or physiotherapists and guarantees an equivalent high level of care.

Health Education England (HEE) and the Institute of Osteopathy have published a quick guide to support clinical and workforce leads, operational managers, and any senior leaders who are involved in workforce development to understand the value that osteopaths can bring to productive NHS services and facilitate the best use of the multi-professional workforce.

The Institute of Osteopathy (iO) has teamed up with the NHS and launched iO NHS internships to facilitate the recruitment of more Osteopaths in NHS Musculoskeletal (MSK) Teams.


How can an Osteopath Help me?

Osteopaths have a well-deserved, evidence-based reputation for expertise in treating musculoskeletal conditions, such as back, neck, joint, muscle and arthritic discomfort.

People also visit osteopaths for various other health reasons, including neuromuscular conditions such as sciatica, digestive issues, headaches and migraine prevention.


What can I expect during a consultation?

Osteopaths will take the time to understand your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle, which will help them diagnose the cause of your issue.

You will need to undertake a physical examination. This will often comprise you undertaking some movements and for the osteopath to examine areas to feel for any tightness in the muscles and stiffness in the joints to identify problems.

Sometimes the cause of the problem may be in a different area to the pain. For example, pain in your lower arm may be linked to the nerves in your neck, so they may need to examine your whole body.

Your osteopath may refer you for tests like X-rays, MRIs or blood tests. Occasionally, they may diagnose an issue they cannot treat and refer you to your GP or another appropriate health professional.

As with any health consultation, they will record this confidential information to form part of your health record and store it in accordance with legal requirements for medical data.


What does treatment involve?

Osteopathic treatment often involves manual therapy – a range of gentle hands-on techniques that focus on releasing tension, stretching muscles and improving mobility – together with exercises and helpful advice designed to help you relieve or manage your pain, keep active and maintain the best of health.

Before an osteopath starts any treatment, they will explain what is involved so you can agree and consent to your course of treatment.

Osteopathic treatment is usually a very gentle process. There may be times when you experience discomfort during or experience some mild soreness after treatment. This will normally go away within 48 hours. Your osteopath will let you know if they think that any of the techniques they recommend are likely to be uncomfortable.

If you experience serious or unusual symptoms after treatment, you should contact your osteopath immediately for advice.


What training do Osteopaths have?

 An osteopath must attain specialist degree-level training, either a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) or integrated Masters (MOst.), plus complete over 1000 hours of clinical placements (direct patient contact time).

By law, an osteopath must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) to practise in the UK.

To maintain their registration with GOsC, osteopaths must meet mandatory continuous professional development (CPD): keeping skills and knowledge up-to-date and maintaining high professional development standards.


Am I too young / too old to see an Osteopath?

Osteopaths are trained in therapeutic approaches that are suitable for individuals of all ages, including the frail and the elderly. Osteopathic care is delivered through various interventions depending on the patient’s needs. This may include referral, health education, manual therapy, exercise therapy and nutrition,
Manual therapy techniques may include articulation and manipulation of joints and soft tissues.

Based on evidence submitted to the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) before November 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and CAP accept that Osteopaths can claim to treat the following:

Arthritic pain
Circulatory problems
Cramp
Digestion problems
Fibromyalgia
Frozen shoulder/ shoulder
Elbow pain/ tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis arising from associated musculoskeletal conditions of the back and neck, but not isolated occurrences)
Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic)
Joint pains
Joint pains including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis as an adjunct to core OA treatments and exercise
General, acute & chronic backache, back pain (not arising from injury or accident)
Generalised aches and pains
Lumbago
Migraine prevention
Minor sports injuries
Muscle spasms
Neuralgia
Tension and inability to relax
Rheumatic pain
Sciatica
Uncomplicated mechanical neck pain.

K-Laser for Pain


Signature HealthK laser for pain and muscular problems


What is a K-Laser?

K-Lasers are medical devices that utilise specific wavelengths of light known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to interact with tissue at the cellular level.

K-lasers help the body heal and have a wide range of uses. It is a helpful tool for improving a range of soft tissue injuries and chronic pain conditions.


What can K-Laser treat?

It can be used to treat the following conditions:

  • Pain Management. It can improve pain from various sources, such as musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, neuropathy, and fibromyalgia.
  • Muscle Injuries and Strains. K-Laser therapy can help accelerate healing and reduce pain in cases of muscle strains, tears, and overuse injuries. It relaxes muscle spasms and supports tissue repair.
  • Joint Conditions. Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, can benefit from K-Laser.
  • Tendon and Ligament Injuries. K-Laser therapy can enhance healing in conditions like tendonitis and ligament sprains by promoting tissue repair and reducing pain.
  • Wound Healing. K-Laser minimises scars in fresh wounds
  • Back and Neck Pain. It can help with pain and stiffness in the back and neck, such as disc problems and spinal stenosis.
  • Nerve Pain (Neuropathy). It can help reduce nerve pain and improve nerve function in cases of diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve entrapment syndromes.
  • Sports Injuries. It can help with common sports injuries like sprains, strains, and ligament tears, promoting quicker recovery and return to activity.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. K-Laser therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with carpal tunnel syndrome by targeting the affected area.
  • TMJ Pain.
  • Plantar Fasciitis. K-Laser therapy can help relieve pain and inflammation in the foot caused by plantar fasciitis.
  • Postsurgical Recovery. K-Laser therapy can aid in postsurgical healing by reducing pain and inflammation, improving tissue repair, and minimising scar tissue formation.
  • Complex Pain Conditions. Such as interstitial cystitis and prostate pain.

How does K-Laser Work?

1 Reduces Pain

K-Laser therapy can help reduce pain associated with various concerns. The laser’s energy stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals produced by the body. This can lead to a reduction in pain perception and an overall improvement in comfort.

2 Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation is a typical response to injury and can be present in some chronic pain conditions. Excessive inflammation can cause pain and also delay healing. K-Laser therapy has been shown to help reduce inflammation by promoting better blood flow and lymphatic drainage, thereby aiding in the body’s natural healing.

3 Faster Healing

K-Laser therapy can enhance the body’s ability to heal and repair.  The laser’s energy boosts the metabolism of individual cells, which leads to faster healing of tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

4 Improves Circulation

The laser can improve circulation, increasing the body’s oxygen and nutrient supply to support healing and repair.

5 Reduces Scar Tissue Formation

K-Laser therapy may help prevent the risk of scar tissue, mainly when applied during the early stages of the healing process. This can lead to better tissue quality and improved range of motion as an injury heals.

6 Muscle Relaxation:

The laser can help relax muscle fibres and reduce muscle tension, improving flexibility and reducing muscle tension and discomfort.


How successful is K-Laser Treatment?

The success of K-Laser treatment, like any treatment, can vary widely. It depends on many factors, including the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, and the individual’s response.

K-Laser therapy tends to be more successful for conditions that involve pain, inflammation, and tissue healing. It may be less effective for conditions with complex underlying causes but can make a significant difference for some individuals.

It has a higher success rate for recent injuries than long-standing conditions.

While K-Laser therapy can benefit injury treatment significantly, it is rarely used on its own. For best effects, it is usually part of a treatment plan that may include a range of other treatments such as Osteopathy and Nutritional Support.

Polynucleotides- Nucleofill Plenhyage and Plinest


Polynucleotides treatments like Plenhyage, Plinest & Nucleofill


Polynucleotide (PN) skin rejuvenation treatments have gained significant attention in aesthetic medicine. They involve a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure for enhancing skin texture and appearance. Based on utilising biological substances to stimulate tissue regeneration, PN treatments have emerged as a promising solution for individuals seeking to revitalise their skin without resorting to more invasive procedures.

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are the building blocks of DNA molecules. They have been used since the 1950s for burn and wound healing and are known to possess bioactive properties that can aid in repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin.

They have been created synthetically or can be from animal origin. The most common products available for skin rejuvenation are extracted from salmon or trout sperm.  The DNA is purified so that patients with fish allergies are still suitable for treatment.

Nucleofill and Plenhyage are created from Salmon DNA fragments, and Plinest is made from Trout DNA fragments. 


How do Polynucleotides work?

When injected into the dermal layer of the skin, the PN DNA fragments act as signalling agents that stimulate fibroblasts and trigger the body’s natural regenerative processes, promoting cellular regeneration. This results in collagen and elastin synthesis and the production of essential structural proteins and hyaluronic acid, which improve hydration and moisture retention, restoring youthful skin characteristics.

As a result, patients may observe a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. They also can create a healthier complexion and reduce the visibility of skin imperfections such as pigmentation irregularities and scars.

The gradual and cumulative effects of polynucleotide skin rejuvenation treatments make them a preferred option for individuals seeking gradual but noticeable improvements in their skin quality.


How long do the results of Polynucleotides last?

The results of PN treatments may generally last several months to a year. The average response lasts for six to nine months.

The duration of the effects of PN Treatments varies depending on the specific type of PN used, individual response to the treatment, and the initial condition of the skin. The longevity of their effects also depends on the body’s natural ageing process and environmental factors.


Which areas can Polynucleotides Treat?

PNs can revitalise the skin on all areas of the face and body.
