Swimwear Trends And How To Work Them

Posted on 17th April 201913th April 2023 by Pau Webley

Summer is fast-approaching, and you know what that means ladies – it’s time to get stocked up on all that lovely swimwear that has already started hitting the shelves. Last year it was all about front tied swimsuits, tassels and off the shoulder designs, but this year the runway has brought us metallics, animals prints and more! Because we’re all so excited to hit the beach here at New Birkdale Clinic, we thought we’d take a look at what trends the world of fashion has in store for us, and pick out some of your favourite examples of these trends from around the net.

THE FIVE BIGGEST SWIMWEAR TRENDS – SUMMER 2019

Animal Prints

Animal prints are making their mark this summer, with every stripe, spot and scale under the sun popping up in shops across the UK! You’ll find leopard prints and python skin, as well as zebra and tiger stripes on all types of swimwear from one-pieces and bikinis to triangle tops and bandeaus. We’re loving the variety of colours these prints come in to, with bright neons and black and whites staking their claim on the au natural look.

One Of Our Favourites: Shein’s Random Leopard High Leg Bikini Set

Cutouts

Almost every swimwear brand under the sun has released its own version of a ‘’sexy cutout’’ swimsuit, for example Agent Provocateur with its bandage wrap swimsuit or selection that has whole sides missing. Along with side cuts, breast cuts and stomach cuts, this is the style that just keeps on giving.

One Of Our Favourites: Black Monokini by Buffalo

High Waisted Bottoms

If you’re looking for a more comfy bottom piece that is body-flattering and maternity-friendly, then your search is over. High waisted bottoms are so good because they combine the styles of the seasons with the body-forming factor that we all want, ensuring we can all express ourselves in our own unique way. If you like a ruffle, there’s an option for that. If you like a cute pattern, there’s an option for that too. The high waist may be eminent of the 90’s, but brands are bringing it into the 21st century with fabulous force.

One Of Our Favourites: Check High-Waist Bikini Bottoms by Forever 21

Bows

Sure to make summer sweet, bows are that extra detail that work well with any print, style or design. Whether the focal point, the side detail or the shoulder piece that holds it all together, so if you’re looking for that touch of something special – then bows are the way to go!

One Of Our Favourites: Shein’s One Shoulder Top With High Waist Bikini Set

Metallics

What a way to shine! Metallic swimsuits perfectly glisten in the sun, highlighting your ‘knock-out’ status and catching the eyes of all you walk before. Golds, silvers, browns and purples certainly make a statement, so we hope all those people have their sunglasses!

One Of Our Favourites: Metallic ribbed bikini set by Topshop

With all these great options from which to choose from, we’re sure you’ll stun in any of the styles that you pick. However, if you’re looking for that little boost that will ensure all eyes are on you, why not try:

Liposuction – for that flatter stomach that emphasises the rest of your beautiful body.

Breast Surgery – to lift, fix asymmetry and add volume and curves.

Laser Hair Removal – for smooth, supple skin that you can feel proud of.

Get Ready For The Races

Posted on 11th March 201913th April 2023 by Pau Webley

Grand National Day may be on the 6th April, but we all know the fun really begins the day before, on Ladies Day, this year dubbed #FabulousFriday. From the fascinators to the fashion faux pas, we can’t wait to see the style, the makeup and the dresses that will grace the Aintree stands, and all the photos that will appear in the newspapers, magazines and online. However, if you’re unsure if your face is photo-ready then why not check out our range of fabulous treatments sure to make your beauty shines through the cameras.

Anti-aging Injections

Anti-aging Injections is a great non-surgical solution to the traditional face lift, which leaves the skin looking noticeably younger, smoother and refreshed. Consisting of purified proteins that are injected into the face, they work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, which freezes them, softening current wrinkles and preventing the formation of future ones. Especially great for forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines and smile lines, the treatment is quick and effective, giving your skin that beautifully-smooth complexion.

A great little confidence-booster, this treatment will ensure that the only wrinkles will be on the dresses!

Dermal Fillers

If you’re looking to add more volume to your facial aesthetic, then we suggest a facial filler, choc-full of hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen. These naturally-occurring ingredients work by targeting areas that have lost moisture, elasticity and volume, by filling in and smoothing out lines, wrinkles and any scars you may have, as well as plumping up thinning lips, sagging skin and any drooping, for example, in the chin. Leaving behind a natural-looking face that doesn’t freeze or stop facial movement, you face will feel instantly hydrated, rejuvenated and wonderful.

A popular treatment for lip enhancements, your perfect pout will steal the show.

Unsure whether ant-aging injection or dermal fillers are the right option for you? We recommend that you read our blog, ‘What Is The Difference Between anti-aging injections And Fillers?’ for more information on these two fantastic treatments.

Plasma Elite

If you’re concerned about necklace lines, deep eye bags or hooded eyelids, then Plasma Elite is the perfect treatment to soften those lines and remove excess skin that is causing you discomfort and unhappiness. Using specially-placed brown, heat-absorbing spots on the treated area, as well as a high-tech hand-piece to create a charge of ‘plasmatic lighting’ within the treated area, the skin contracts because of stimulated collagen production. Tightening the skin, your neck and face is left refreshed.

It may sound a little overwhelming, but we promise that it’s a simple and safe procedure that works wonders.

Laser Hair Removal

It’s only just turned Spring, so you’re forgiven if you’ve let your body hair grow a little long during the colder months. However, with the paparazzi everywhere at Aintree, you may want to shave, wax, or for the ultimate in hair removal, have it lasered. We use The Soprano XL®, which is a sophisticated diode laser system that gets to the hair follicles and destroys them, preventing them from growing again in the future. Therefore, you won’t just be sorted for this year’s Aintree, but next years as well!

For more information on any of the treatments mentioned in this post or to book your appointments, please contact us today and we’ll be happy to answer any of your questions, and get you ready for the exciting Aintree days!

Get Valentine’s Day Ready with New Birkdale Clinic

Posted on 11th February 201913th April 2023 by Pau Webley

With Valentine’s day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to nip any self-doubt you’ve been having in the bud, so you’re feeling as confident as can be for the most romantic day of the year. Whether you want to improve on areas that make you feel insecure, treat a loved one, or just need a quick boost in the run up to the 14th, at New Birkdale Clinic we have everything you need to get Valentine’s day ready.

The signs of aging can lower our confidence and make us feel less exuberant than when we were younger, but no longer! At New Birkdale Clinic, we offer a variety of services to help turn back the clock and make you feel 10 years younger, and more like yourself again.

Wrinkle relaxing injection is perfect for you if your wrinkles are making you look older than you feel inside. Wrinkle Relaxing injections are a quick and simple procedure that noticeably reduces wrinkles within a week, and the results can last for up to 6 months. Wrinkle relaxing treatments work by injecting purified proteins into the muscles, freezing their movement and reducing wrinkles in the area. Repeated treatments also help train your muscles to stop new lines forming.

Dermal fillers are also an effective anti-aging procedure, but can also be used to treat other concerns too. Dermal fillers are made up of a combination of collagen and nutrient-rich hyaluronic acid that work together to plump up the skin, reducing wrinkles and improving the appearance of other common insecurities, like tear troughs (eye bags), drooping cheeks or chin, the shape of the nose and the appearance of scars.

Dermal fillers can also be used to plump up and reshape the lips, making them appear youthful, beautiful and kissable for your romantic evening.

Laser hair removal is an effective and comfortable treatment to remove hair by 80-100%, with little to no downtime. At New Birkdale Clinic, we use the Soprano XL system, which uses a laser that penetrates deep below the skin at a 10 pulse-per-second rate, gradually increasing the temperature of the cells responsible for hair growth and destroying them, also preventing regrowth. Without shaving, waxing, ingrown hairs or razor bumps to worry about, you can enjoy your Valentine’s day with soft, smooth skin that lasts.

If reducing any skin concerns you have is needed to make you feel great this Valentine’s, New Birkdale Clinic has a selection of treatments to help. Microneedling can improve the appearance of conditions like scarring, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, sun damage, dark circles and eyebags and enlarged pores. Microneedling or Dermapen procedures work by injecting tiny sterile needles into the skin to create what are known as micro-injuries. This encourages the skin’s natural healing processes, including the production of collagen and elastin to form stronger, smoother and fresher skin.

For a quick boost, microdermabrasion might be right for you in the run up to Valentine’s day. Microdermabrasion is an incredibly effective skin treatment that works using microcrystals to exfoliate the skin. The microcrystals are pushed across the surface of the skin, loosening dead cells on the top layer and exposing the new healthy cells below. It is perfect for even sensitive skin, and can be used as an anti-aging treatment to treat fine lines, as well as improving the appearance of marks and blemishes, skin congestion and skin pigmentation issues.

We want you to feel fantastic this Valentine’s day, and offer a variety of treatments to make you look and feel like your best self. Contact us at New Birkdale Clinic to find out what we can do for you, so you can enjoy your Valentine’s day celebrations feeling your absolute best.

The Best Non-Surgical Treatments For Men

Posted on 19th June 201813th April 2023 by Pau Webley

With the rise of social media, the need to appear younger to enhance career prospects and the realisation that being a man can involve taking care of one’s appearance, it’s no surprise that the number of men having non-surgical procedures has increased dramatically over the past 10 years. With much to choose from, we often get asked what we believe to be the best treatments out there. Well, dear reader, we’re about to tell you.

Mole Removal

Moles, whether they appear on the face or body, can reduce self-confidence and lead to feelings of self-consciousness. Mole removal is a quick procedure that rids your skin of the mole.

What Is Mole Removal?

The mole is cut out of the skin through an incision, with the wound requiring a small stitch. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to reduce any potential pain.

What Are The Benefits Of Mole Removal?

No limit to the clothes you can wear, whether that’s short sleeve tops, shorts or tank tops.
Removal of a focal point that may have been a cause for staring.
Reduction in physical discomfort that may have occurred when the mole caught on clothing.

Laser Hair Removal

A great procedure for permanent hair removal, for example from the chest, shoulders, back and face. Many men also remove hair associated with ageing, such as from the ears and nose.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

We use The Soprano XL® at New Birkdale Clinic, which sends pulsed light into the sub-dermis, damaging hair follicles and destroying the cells responsible for new hair growth to prevent regrowth.

What Are The Benefits Of Laser Hair Removal?

A suitable alternative to razers, shaving creams or waxing that can leave bumps, marks and bruises.
A smooth appearance that leaves behind no missed spots, and lasts.
Can result in permanent hair loss in selected areas.

Microdermabrasion

If you’ve been noticing wrinkles and fine lines recently, or would like to reduce blemishes, pigmentary issues or marks, then microdermabrasion may be for you.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microcrystals are propelled across the skin’s surface, removing the top layer of unwanted cells, leaving behind new cells and encouraging collagen production. This gives your skin a plumper and healthier appearance.

What Are The Benefits Of Microdermabrasion?

Improves skin texture, tone and appearance.
Can be used to unclog pores, reducing their size.
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Anti-ageing Injections

Or is that Brotox to you? A popular solution for lines of the forehead, frown, bunny and smile variety, as well as crow’s feet.

What Is Anti-ageing Injection?

Anti-ageing injection is made of purified proteins and works by activating a process known as ‘selective muscle denervation’. This is where muscle nerve signals are blocked, so that lines and wrinkles are less likely to form, and current ones are reduced.

What Are The Benefits Of Anti-ageing Injections?

A visibly younger, yet natural-looking face.
Prolongs the ageing process, especially with top up treatments.
As with the other treatment, it is non-invasive, a short procedure and requires no downtime.

How To Get Ready For Summer

Posted on 25th April 201813th April 2023 by Pau Webley

With 6 months of winter keeping us wrapped up warm, we’ve all been waiting for the summer heatwave to arrive. Bikinis, bathing suits and trunks define our attire, and we should all feel attractive in the glistening sun. We deserve it right? If you’re wondering how to achieve your perfect summer look and get ‘beach ready’, please read on.

Liposuction

We all want that defined, contoured and show-stopping body that would make a model jealous. Though dieting and exercise is a great start, sometimes it just isn’t enough. Liposuction can remove unwanted fat that has localised and remained in specific areas, as well as tighten the skin for a smooth effect. The great thing about Liposuction is that the fat cells will not reappear after surgery, and so long as you continue with a healthy lifestyle, your body will stay stunning.

Discover our range of Liposuction procedures.

Breast Enlargement

Bikinis and bathing suits make a lot of women feel uncomfortable about their breasts, worrying that their chest looks small, uneven or unattractive. Many opt to cover up with T-shirts, kaftans and sarongs but that doesn’t solve the underlying issue.

A breast enlargement can help women regain confidence, boosting breast shape, size and position through implants and a lift if necessary.

You should buy that stylish bikini, instead of choosing that same old T-shirt when hitting the beach or relaxing poolside.

Laser Hair Removal

Think about all those hours you’ve spent shaving or waxing when you could have been doing something more productive, or simply relaxing.

Laser Hair Removal permanently removes hair on the legs, arms, underarms, face and bikini line by destroying hair follicles in the sub-dermis in a practically painless procedure. Shaving will be one less thing to worry about.

If you’d like something less permanent, or a quick beauty treatment sure to make your eyes and face shine, we offer a range of fabulous options including:

Waxes: Eyebrows, Lip, Chin, Leg, Brazilian, Back and Chest.
Tinting: Eyelash and Eyebrow.
Facials.
