Another year has gone by which unfortunately other than a year wiser and more experienced in life, it also means a year older.
People’s way of seeing, accepting and perceiving the ageing have changed vastly over the past few decades. In the not so distant past, most people simply accepted ageing as an inevitable and non avoidable process. Nonetheless, nowadays people are more actively and deliberately fighting against this natural process with a variety of natural and other remedies and treatments and anti-ageing trends.
It’s not just the older generations though that want to look and feel younger as the need to feel and look healthy is now dominant in many younger generations who are actively seeking to change their lifestyles and extend their lifespans.
Other than the common skin care treatments that are always popular (and now more than ever), many people are willing to spend more money and time to minimise ageing or at least delay the process and its “visual” effects. There are a number of signs you start to notice as you age – loss of volume, dull and discoloured tone, sagging skin – but usually the first and most unwelcome change are the wrinkles that form, particularly around the eyes and between the brows.
So let’s have a look at 3 popular treatments people are going for in 2020 and gained momentum in the final months of the previous year.
Filler
Dermal filler treatments are among the hottest trends in the field of cosmetic rejuvenation and plastic surgery. This year the shift seems to be towards having facial balance and therefore, the lips will be sized in proportion to the rest of the face as well as the “less is more” trend. Due to this, lips that are unnaturally full and big are no longer the in thing and instead, people are looking to just work on the definition of their mouth
Laser Resurfacing
The facial treatment known as laser resurfacing is a common process used to correct common skin issues such as facial wrinkles and acne scars.
Using a laser, skin is removed gradually, a layer at a time. The two commonly used lasers are non-ablative and ablative.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
All anti-wrinkle treatments performed by our clinic and Dr Ahmad are to protect, maintain and enhance the physical and mental well-being of her patients .Juvederm Facial Filler: Made of a hyaluronic acid gel, Juvederm is a naturally-occurring substance in the skin that contributes to volume and hydration. Juvederm is designed to temporarily correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm is made by Allergan, the same makers of Botox.
The major growth drivers for this market are the growing ageing population and increasing awareness about the advantages of using anti-ageing products. Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the anti-ageing industry, include integration of alphabetic formulation in anti-ageing products, increasing usage of multi functioning anti-ageing products, and rising demand for natural and organic ingredients in anti-ageing products.
At Cambridge Clear Beauty we have an array of safe and highly effective Juvederm anti-ageing treatments to help you turn back time, including Anti-Wrinkle Treatments and dermal fillers, that are capable of tackling the visible signs of facial ageing and achieving an all-over skin rejuvenation.

Blemishes in the skin are usually either pink/red or brown/black. The latter are pigmented blemishes or moles. The redder ones may be composed of blood vessels in or under the skin. Most skin blemishes of this nature are harmless, but one should seek advice if they change, either in colour, size, or shape; also if they become symptomatic, for example if they start to itch.
Some skin blemishes can be examined by dermatoscopy, looking at the skin close up with a special instrument and thereby additional information obtained in relation to the nature of the blemish.
Benign moles or other blemishes can be treated in a number of ways such as freezing, laser, or surgery. Surgery for moles is usually of two types, tangential shave with gentle cautery of the ‘root’, or by formally excising the moles or cutting them out with stitches. Tangential shave excision often results in the most inconspicuous blemish after treatment, sometimes it is even difficult to discern where the original lesion was. Not all moles are suitable for this category of treatment.
The other technique of formal excision, or cutting out the mole, will result in a scar and you would then need stitches; then it is important to place the scar in the best possible orientation to maximise the chances of the most elegant and finest scar possible. These techniques need an informed eye and experienced hand; Mr Ahmad has over 21 years of experience in this category of surgery; he will advise on the best option, individualised for you.
At Cambridge Clear Beauty, we do not pressure any patient into taking things further and would not consider treatment until you are ready and happy to do so.
Skin moles and other skin blemishes from £700 only now available at www.CambridgeClearBeauty.co.uk!

Eyelid surgery (also called an eye lift orblepharoplasty), reduces bagginess from lower eyelids and removes excess skin from the upper eyelids. In addition, it is also known to be an effective way to improve sight in older people whose sagging upper eyelids get in the way of their vision. Surgery can be undertaken to rejuvenate, lighten and freshen the appearance of tired, sagging or heavy upper eyelids and lower eyelids.
Upper eyelid reduction from £3100
Upper eyelid surgery can be helpful to improve eyes that look tired, heavy or hooded. Excess skin and underlying tissue can be accurately trimmed to help open up the eyes and look younger, more refreshed.
Lower eyelid ‘pinch’ blepharoplasty; from £1200 per eye ‘pinch plus’ blepharoplasty from £3100
These are not as aggressive as a full lower eyelid ‘blepharoplasty’ (as undertaken in hospital) but with very worthwhile improvements for some selected patients.
The simplest procedure is a ‘pinch’ blepharoplasty. The pure ‘pinch’ blepharoplasty can be undertaken as an out patient under local anaesthesia and involves carefully trimming redundant skin and a sliver of muscle under the lower eyelid lashes, and nothing else. As such, only a small amount can be removed otherwise there is a risk of altering the level of the lower eyelid but this technique is all that is needed for some patients.
A lower eyelid ‘pinch plus’ blepharoplasty with Mr Ahmad still involves removal of excess redundant skin and a sliver of muscle but would also involve strengthening and reinforcement of the lower eyelid with a special buried suture (canthopexy), a muscle hitch or both, and can also involve an element of minor cheek lift.

Like a breaking voice, hair where there wasn’t any before and an outbreak of zits, gynaecomastia can be one of the facts of life for a teenage boy.
It’s a rather scary-sounding name for a hard yet tender swelling behind the nipples that give the impression of breasts, brought about by hormonal changes.
In most cases, the condition calms down and eventually goes away as you finish your transformation from boy to man. But sometimes it doesn’t.
Gynaecomastia – otherwise known as ‘man-boobs’, or worse – is often dismissed as the inevitable result of a poor diet and little to no exercise, but that isn’t always the case.
True, the chest area is one of the first parts of the male body to take on and store fat during weight gain, but what explains the lean and fit people who still have breast-like protuberances, which are even more prominent when the rest of their upper bodies are as trim as can be?
There are a number of possible reasons for gynaecomastia, but most of them are linked to an increase in the oestrogen hormone – this can be due to natural hormonal changes in the body, or as a result of a particular medication.
Cosmetic surgery is the simplest and most effective way to reduce the shape and contour of your chest. The method most commonly used is a minor liposuction procedure, followed by a removal of the prominent breast tissue. Yes, there will be scarring around the nipple, but extremely minor (and eventually undetectable, if you have chest hair).
Gynaecomastia is more common than you might think – but so is male breast reduction surgery. It’s an incredibly simple and a hugely effective procedure, with the bare minimum of time taken out of your day-to-day routine.
If you’re considering a male breast reduction in Cambridge, our advice is to book a consultation with us at your earliest convenience.

Adult acne can seem very unfair. It’s bad enough to suffer from acne when you’re in your teens, but when you’re long past that phase of your life and you’re still dealing with zits, it can be an absolute nightmare.
And it’s a far more widespread problem than you’d think: clinical studies in the United States reveal that between 40 and 55% of people aged between 20 and 40 still suffer from low-grade, persistent acne and oily skin. We may all want to look younger than we really are, but no-one wants to look like we did when we were 14.
It’s easy to explain teenage acne: puberty causes our hormones to go berserk and over-produce natural lubricants, which can cause our skin pores to clog up. When this happens, bacteria gets trapped, causing swelling and redness.
Adult acne is a little more complex: it can be also brought on by hormonal changes, but stress is a huge factor too, as is artificially clogging the pores with make-up and poor lifestyle choices with diet and alcohol.
In a nutshell, it can hit the reset button on your skin. A chemical peel is a procedure which involves the application of certain compounds to your face, which exfoliates and speeds up cell turnover to slough away dead cells and the patina of accumulated oils.
Please do be aware, though, that a chemical peel isn’t the magic solution for banishing acne forever – although your face will feel clearer than ever before, it’ll be up to you to ensure the zits don’t return, by an improved diet and facial cleansing regime.
If you’re looking to finally take the plunge and do something about adult acne, why not take the first step today: get in touch with us here at Cambridge Clear Beauty at your earliest convenience, and we’ll spell out the full details on this invaluable treatment.

OK so you’ve eaten and drunk too much over Christmas, hardly moved from the settee and now it’s time to do something about it. Maybe you’ve started a diet and you’ve renewed the gym membership and are beginning to make some progress on the weight loss front, but you just can’t seem to shift the last remaining bulges of fat.
Perhaps it’s time to talk to us at Cambridge Clear Beauty about the benefits of CoolSculpting.
The great thing about CoolSculpting is that it’s not surgery and it’s not invasive but it really works. In fact, within a couple of months you can easily spot the difference it has made to your body shape. It’s not a weight loss treatment in itself – it actually works best with people who are close to their ideal weight but our experts can advise you on whether the treatment is appropriate and also suggest a programme that is bespoke to your needs.
The main thing to remember is that it’s a proven treatment and has been carried out over a million times already worldwide.
The secret of the product is in the name. Basically, it works by freezing fat cells whilst leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. When you undergo the procedure you can initially feel intense cold for a short while but this soon dissipates and then you probably won’t even notice you’re having the treatment. You can read a book or have a nap until it’s finished. Most of our clients go back to work or continue with their day as normal after the treatment.
So, if you’re feeling glum because you can’t shift that last bit of Christmas fat despite all your weight loss efforts, make an appointment to discuss the options with us here at Cambridge Clear Beauty. By Easter you’ll have recaptured your body shape, just remember to lay off the Easter eggs!
