Anti-ageing treatments for Mother’s Day?

Every March mums across the country are adorned with a selection of flowers, chocolates and spa days which all become distant memories as Mother’s Day passes. This year however, many mums can look forward to the gift of youthful skin, with clinics reporting a surge in the sales of injectable treatments such as Sculptra following recommendations or gifts from their loved ones.

The Harley Street Medical Skin Clinic, who carry out an extensive range of treatments including Smart Lipo, Lip Enhancement and cosmetic radio enhancement has seen an approximately 30% rise in sales of injectable treatments over the past few weeks.

Resident Woman’s Own columnists Dr Aamer Khan and Lesley Khan, from The Harley Street Medical Clinic, commented; “The new trend in cosmetic surgery is less is more. Patients are turning away from the frozen, wind-tunnel look towards a more natural appearance. Injectables such as Sculptra are popular for gifts as they deliver such natural results. We’ve seen a noticeable surge in appointments booked in the last few weeks; children are becoming more creative and really thinking about what will improve their mother’s quality of life”

The Bill actress, Lisa Maxwell, delighted her mum, Val Maxwell, with the gift of a course of Sculptra treatments for Mother’s Day; she commented “I wanted to give my mum something a bit different. It’s something she’d wanted to do for herself for a while so I was thrilled to give her that extra push. The results we’ve looked at with previous patients are just fantastic.” Val is having Sculptra at Harley Street Medical Clinic with Dr Amar Khan.

Sculptra is a proven non-surgical cosmetic treatment that has been celebrated by celebrities and doctors as giving some of the most natural and gradual looking results compared to traditional fillers, as well as being amongst the longest lasting skin smoothing treatments, with proven results for up to two years.

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that works differently to other injectable products. With the realisation that facial volume loss is a key component of the natural ageing process, Sculptra’s distinct action builds up the body’s own natural collagen, with results occurring around six weeks following treatment, to help gradually smooth out lines and wrinkles and restore facial volume, giving a fuller, younger-looking face that looks completely natural.

Depending on the individual, 2 - 3 Sculptra treatments are usually required at 6 week intervals and results last up to 2 years following the last treatment. Treatments are carried out by fully trained aesthetic practitioners nationwide. It costs from £400-£800 per treatment. For details of your nearest clinic visit sculptra.co.uk.
