Cosmetic Dermatology
Dr Liz Dawes-Higgs focuses on achieving a natural refreshed look, so you look as good as you feel. It’s not all about ageing, it’s also getting rid of angry lines when you’ re in Sales & Marketing!
Facial rejuvenation is about making you look as great as you feel on the inside. It can involve many different treatments depending on your appearance and desire.
Options of facial rejuvenation can include:
Laser therapy for facial pigmentation, broken capillaries
Superficial chemical peels for overall skin clarity and to even out pigmentation
Filler injections for smoothing out static wrinkles (wrinkles at rest)
Anti-wrinkle injections for softening dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles with movement)
Topical peptides and growth factors, fruit acids and vitamins
Sunscreen and sun protection remain the most important techniques.
