Q. I would like to have laser skin resurfacing at the end of October and would like to know if there is anything I can be doing in the meantime to make sure I make as quick recovery as possible such as creams or vitimins. I really cant afford to be off work for a long period and just wondered if there is anything I can do myself prior to treatment. Regards

A. Hello there Thank you for your enquiry. Laser skin resurfacing has quite a significant downtime so be aware there may be infection, pain, shedding and potential pigmentation problems. Do not expect to be recovered too quickly For these reasons I now prefer using chemical peels and dermaroller. In my hands we have had some excellent results and the downtime is much shorter. Introduction of Rationale Skincare products will also help your skin. If you are interested in considering this instead please do give the office a call on 845 2600 261. Kim or Janine will be happy to help you Take care Paul Banwell help@paulebanwell.com www.skininstituteuk.com

Q. Mr Richards. Could you please give me a quote for laser skin resurfacing. The areas I want treated would be the cheeks and forehead as I beleive this procedure will remove lines from my forehead and bags from my eyes. I have also looked into have Botox injections to the forehead for the lines and wondered which you thought wasthe most effective treatment foe the forehead area. Thanks for your time.

A. Thank you very much for your enquiry, generally I would recommend that the most effective treatment for the area would be botox injections as this generally soften the lines and help them fade away. Laser treatments are more focused on the actual quality of the skin but will not have much effect on the lines caused by muscle activity which is best treated with botox treatment. If you would like further information about what’s involved in botox treatment please visit our website http://aurora-clinics.co.uk and if you feel you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss the best way forward for you please ring us on 01844-214362 or email us at info@aurora-clinics.co.uk we’ll be delighted to schedule a free consultation for you to discuss the best way forward.

Q. I have bad skin due to sun damage and smoking all of my life. I also have many large and open pores on my face. Would a laser skin resurfacing help with my lines and wrinkles? Is there a treatment offered to help scale down the size of my pores?

A. Thank you very much for your enquiry, generally for the condition you described I would recommend a like chemical peel to reduce the sizes of the pores and reduce the fine lines on your skin.   It is a very effective treatment and I think it would be absolutely suitable for you from what you described.   For more information about this type of procedure please ring us on 01844-214362 and we’d be delighted to go through this with you.   We also schedule a consultation if you felt this would be appropriate for you.   Best wishes, Yours sincerely   Adrian Richards Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Surgical Director of Aurora Clinics

Q. I have several deep wrinkles around the side of my mouth treated with laser skin resurfacing. A friend of mine had the treatment for a similar thing and when I saw her after surgery she looked great. She had the surgery in London but im keen not to travel to far from my family and wondered if you supply the treatment in your Glasgow clinic or know of another surgeon that does this procedure in the Glasgow area?

A. Hi – we do have a laser skin resurfacing service at my clinic. The procedure takes about an hour, sometimes it needs to be repeated, the recovery takes a few weeks and during the first couple of days there’s some pain and swelling associated with the treatment. We have a video of the procedure on http://www.labelleforme.co.uk/laser_skin_Glasgow.html. Our prices are also on line at the website. If you want to see me to discuss your options please call 01415520828 and ask to make an appointment to see Mr Shoaib to discuss your options. Your skin may benefit from something else other than laser, and I can advise you on what represents best value for money for your aims

Q. I want to do laser skin resurfacing because i have really bad stretch marks on my thighs, but I am only 15 yrs old. And hoping I could do it. I would also like to know the price and all the additional information you can provide including any treatments that doesent involve actual surgery because I feel I am too young for this option at this time.

A. Thank you very much for your enquiry, unfortunately laser resurfacing is often not very effective for stretch marks on the thighs.   A better treatment in my experience is the derma roller treatment.   This works by stimulating the skin and to regenerate reducing the stretch marks.   In my experience this is a very good technique for treating stretch marks.   If you would like to get more information about this treatment please visit our website http://aurora-skin-clinics.com.uk.   If you wish to schedule an appoinment to discuss the best way forward for you please ring 01844-214362.   Many thanks for your enquiry, we look forward to meeting you in the near future should you decide to schedule an appointment.   Best wishes, Yours sincerely   Adrian Richards Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Surgical Director of Aurora Clinics

Q. Could you please kindly e-mail me an approximate quote on Laser Skin Resurfacing.I assume this treatment is for Skin resurfacing for acne scars Thank you very much in advance.I look forward to your reply

A. I’m afraid your email address didn’t come through with the enquiry. However, what I can say is that there are a couple of ways of treating acne scars – one is with Dermaroller at £200 and one is with laser resurfacing at £1000. Dermaroller is done by Fiona, my nurse, and laser treatment is performed by Amanda, my laser specialist. Both are done at my clinic, La Belle Forme, and if you want to have a consultation with me in the first instance to decide which would be best for you then please call 0141-552 0828 and I can see you. I do charge a consultation fee which will be taken at the time of booking.
