Why Does My Hair Itch After A Hair Transplant?

Why Does My Hair Itch After A Hair Transplant?

Soon after a hair transplant, clients often express the strong urge to itch or scratch their scalp. This is nothing to be alarmed about; it is simply a sign that your scalp (i.e., the donor and transplant area) is undergoing a healing process as a result of hair extraction and implantation. In response to repairing skin tissue, the scalp releases histamines that can cause that itchy feeling. What is important to remember is: Do not itch or scratch your scalp after a hair transplant. Here are reasons to avoid itching after an FUE hair transplant, plus what to expect post-transplant. Why Does It Itch After Hair Transplant?Hair transplant itching is considered normal for the most part. We know that feeling itchy is uncomfortable, so we hope the following tips and advice about managing an itchy scalp will help you during your hair transplant aftercare. A common question we get at Este is: How long does itching last after hair transplant? It really depends, and each hair transplant recipient has a unique experience. You will be tempted to touch your head after a hair transplant, but don’t do it! Immediate itching after a hair transplant treatment tends to feel worse at night, this is because right after a hair transplant procedure you are not able to wash your hair and scalp. Your scalp is reacting to postoperative crusting (e.g., scabbing) and inflammation; however, you will notice a huge improvement after you wash your head for the first time (i.e., first hair wash on the 3rd day). The urge to itch should lessen after the first wash, and improve by the final wash. ‍ Hair transplant itching 2 months later can also be a thing. This may occur across the whole transplant area or just in certain parts. Scalp itching weeks or months after a hair transplant may be a result of dry skin, an infection (e.g., dermatitis), an allergic reaction to topically products, and/or a previously existing skin condition (e.g., psoriasis). Again, itching is not necessarily something to be alarmed about; it is considered a normal part of skin tissue repair and healing. Este Medical Group has a post-transplant aftercare plan for every FUE hair transplant client that addresses concerns like scalp itch. Do Not Scratch Your Head After A Hair TransplantThere are several important reasons why you should not touch, itch, or scratch your hair after a hair transplant, including: You may accidentally dislodge or pull out newly transplanted hairs, which will have a detrimental impact on final regrowth results.You may open donor incisions, which will delay healing.You run the risk of introducing a skin infection to the hair follicle (e.g., folliculitis).Scratching and itching may only increase irritation and discomfort.‍How To Deal With Itching After Hair TransplantEste Medical Group provides each client with a detailed post-transplant aftercare plan. The most important step to manage hair transplant itch is the first wash or first aftercare shampoo. Let us take you behind the scenes and show you an actual step-by-step first hair wash and the final wash on someone who has undergone an Este transplant. Other things you can do to manage post-transplant itching include: Take an antihistamineAvoid the sun, as a burn may make the itch worseAvoid a hat or head covering, as some fabrics may cause irritationAvoid situations that might make you sweat, as dried sweat can cause irritationMedicated shampoo (e.g., anti-itch formula)Prescription steroid scalp solutionWe strongly recommend you keep your clinic or hair transplant rep in the loop when treating scalp itch. When it comes to hair transplant tips & advice we’ve got you covered! How long does itching last after hair transplant?Most of the major itching will be immediately after the hair transplant surgery, and with proper aftercare, itching symptoms should decrease. Some people do experience itching for longer but it is often not as dramatic. The urge to itch your scalp post-transplant may last for a few weeks, and sometimes it can last a few months. ‍What To Expect After A Hair TransplantScalp itch may not be the only side effect of a hair transplant. Other common side effects include: Itchy scalpScalp tendernessTight scalpScalp inflammationAching scalpSlight bruisingScabbing These are all normal parts of healing and recovery when it comes to hair transplant surgery recovery. To help prepare you for your hair transplant journey we have prepared some commonly asked questions and answers to get you on the right track. If you are considering a hair transplant in Turkey, we strongly recommend you book a FUE hair transplant consultation with us to discuss any concerns as well as your expectations.Last Updated: March 7, 2023

Whiteheads: Causes, Prevention & Treatment

Whiteheads: Causes, Prevention & Treatment

Whiteheads may be a mild and common type of acne, but you don’t have to live with them if you don’t want to. Let us help you discover how to get rid of whiteheads with proven and effective acne treatments that work! Knowing what are whiteheads can help you prevent and treat them in a way that is safe for your skin — the number one rule of dealing with whiteheads is don’t pop them! Read on to find out how to remove whiteheads without damaging or scarring your skin. Three recommended treatments for whiteheads available at Este Medical in the UK are: ‍HydraFacialMicroneedlingClearSkin laser‍What Causes Whiteheads?‍Whiteheads on the face or body occur when pores are badly clogged and sebum (i.e., an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands) accumulates causing white bumps on the skin’s surface. Essentially, acne whiteheads are a type of skin inflammation that form as a result of: Too much sebum build upKeratin trapped beneath surface of skinIncrease in skin bacteriaChanges in hormones‍Do whiteheads go away on their own? They can go away on their own, but over time they may return if you have not dealt with the root cause of your skin acne. As skincare experts, we strongly recommend you see a healthcare provider to assess your whiteheads and follow their treatment advice. ‍Why am I suddenly breaking out with whiteheads? That could depend on your age, as whiteheads are more common among adolescents; however, 10% to 30% of adults can break out with whiteheads. As mentioned above, acne can be caused by the skin producing too much sebum, which, along with dead skin cells, clogs the pores. Clogged pores are the ideal place for acne bacteria to grow. ‍Amazing Acne Removal Success Stories!Acne before and after resultsAnmol Had problematic face acne that had been bothering him for a year when he found Este on social media.Acne before and afterAdam’s face dramatically transformed after Este Medical treatments for severe acne.Este Medical has helped thousands of youth and adults across the UK overcome their struggle with acne. Contact us to book your acne skincare consultation and get ready to put your best face forward in life! ‍The White Elephant In The RoomBefore we go any further sharing tips on how to get rid of whiteheads, let’s address the elephant in the room: Should you pop whiteheads? The answer is no, never pop spots! If you have white spots, we recommend that you do not: Pick, poke or squeeze whiteheadsUse skin products containing paraffin or petroleumUnsure if you have whiteheads or milia bumps, then send us a message through our website to book an acne skin assessment with Este Medical. ‍How To Get Rid Of Whitehead Bumps!As we said, no squeezing! Let’s go over how to remove a whitehead safely and effectively. First of all, you can try drugstore products to get rid of whiteheads on your face. Look for skincare products that contain: salicylic acid, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids. The goal when choosing drugstore acne products is to get washes, scrubs, or creams that target surface bacteria and exfoliate the pores. Another top tip to prevent whiteheads is to use noncomedogenic products and makeup, and to remove makeup when you become sweaty and before you go to bed. If pharmacy acne products for whiteheads don’t work, or your whiteheads keep coming back then it is time to consider a professional cosmetic skincare treatment for acne, or you can ask your doctor about prescription-strength retinoids or oral antibiotics. Top whitehead treatments your doctor or a medical aesthetician may recommend include: microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser light energy therapy, and microneedling. ‍How to get rid of hard whiteheads on face? In the case of hard white bumps you may now be dealing with milia. Hard bumps on the face may be a result of trapped dead skin cells that form cysts. HydraFacial and microneedling could help with this skin condition; however, if the white spots or bumps are stubborn to remove, then we recommend you have a Lamprobe treatment for milia removal, which we do offer at UK Este Medical clinics. ‍How To Remove Blackheads And Whiteheads Permanently?We have mainly been focusing on whiteheads in this guide, but blackheads are also another form of unwanted acne that can be treated with similar professional skin treatments. Here are the best treatments to remove whiteheads and blackheads, as well as address acne scarring and skin discolouration: ‍HydraFacialMicroneedlingClearSkin laserLED phototherapyAzelan acne peelChemical peel ‍Este Medical in the UK has a variety of treatments to best address your problem with whiteheads, blackheads, and other types of acne including papules, pustules, nodules, and acne cysts. ‍How To Prevent Whiteheads With Este Medical Professional Acne TreatmentsEste Medical’s HydraFacial is one of the best immediate treatments to get rid of whiteheads, combined with regular microneedling treatments to prevent future whitehead breakouts and maintain optimal skin health. Because everyone has different skincare concerns and goals, we recommend that to determine which whitehead acne treatments are best suited to your skin type and age, you book a skin assessment at an Este clinic near you as soon as possible.

When Does Loose Skin Tighten After Pregnancy?

When Does Loose Skin Tighten After Pregnancy?

After giving birth there is a lot of pressure on women to slim down fast and get their pre-pregnancy body back. Besides having to deal with pregnancy weight gain, women often experience additional postnatal conditions like: Hair lossStretch marksPregnancy maskLoose vaginaUrinary incontinenceLoose skinAs women lose pregnancy weight, many experience an excess of loose and crepey skin, especially around the belly. This loose belly skin can take several weeks or many months to reduce and repair. After having a baby your skin should slowly return to normal, but it does take time for skin to regain its elasticity, and sometimes you need to help it along with the recovery process. Let’s take a beat to share how to get rid of postpartum belly loose skin at-home and with professional skincare and body treatments. How To Lose Pregnancy Belly?Good news, there are several things you can do to help reduce pregnancy belly and tighten loose belly skin after pregnancy. The basics include: ‍Regular exercise: try pelvic floor exercises and pelvic floor chair treatments, yoga, deep belly breathing, and daily brisk walking to tone and tighten loose skin‍Staying hydrated: drinking water throughout the day is key to burn off stored belly fat‍Nutrient-rich diet: limit sugar intake and replace processed food with natural foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, fish, and low fat dairy‍Skincare products: you can try slimming creams, or creams that target cellulite to help improve the skin tone and texture on your postpartum bellyHow Long After Birth Will My Stomach Go Down?It seems like the six-week mark is the general guide to when you should see your post-pregnancy belly return to normal, but that may not be the case for all women. It is considered normal for the uterus and stomach to contract to their pre-pregnancy sizes; however, how long that takes may vary from woman to woman. In addition, the stomach may contract back to normal, but depending on pregnancy weight gain there may be an excess of loose skin around the belly button, plus wrinkled stomach skin after pregnancy. How To Get Your Stomach Back After Pregnancy!In addition to our at-home tips for reducing pregnancy belly fat and loose skin (e.g., exercise, pelvic floor stimulation, healthy foods, lots of water…), we have several Este Medical Group postnatal treatments to help women recover from the physical strain of having a baby. Regaining a flat stomach and tightening loose belly skin is one of the biggest post-pregnancy goals women have. To help you reach your postpartum body goals, we are going to share with you how to tighten skin around belly button area. Este’s Top 5 Skin Tightening & Toning TreatmentsTarget sagging skin, loose skin, cellulite, and stretch marks to improve your skin tone and texture; improve the appearance of tummy wrinkles, skin puckering, and loose belly skin with the following non-surgical skincare and body contouring treatments. Emsculpt Fat Reduction & Skin ToningVelaShape III Body Contouring & Cellulite TreatmentHiFU ULTRAFORMER III Skin TighteningScarlet RF Microneedling Skin Firming & Stretch Mark TreatmentEmsella Pelvic Floor Toning TreatmentSkin Tightening TreatmentOur skin-safe HIFEM electromagnetic energy and radio frequency skin firming and toning treatments use clinically proven medical-grade devices that: transmit stimulating energy to rejuvenate existing muscle and dermal tissue;and at the same time trigger new collagen and elastin production in the body, which improves the elasticity of the skin’s surface and supporting structure. How To Avoid Wrinkled Stomach After Pregnancy?A post-pregnancy crepey-looking stomach might be hard to avoid if you rapidly lose your baby-weight, or are prone to skin laxity or cellulite in the tummy area. You can try anti-cellulite and moisturising creams during pregnancy (check with your family doctor if that is okay first), and after the baby you can apply skin firming creams that contain retinoids to the tummy area, as well as slimming or vanishing creams. Lotions and creams can be effective, but they might take longer than you wish to see results. Another healthy approach is to drink lots of water on a daily basis, eat foods rich in nutrients, try body massages (e.g., anti-cellulite massage), and engage in exercise that will promote weight loss. How Do Celebrities Get Rid Of Loose Skin After Pregnancy?Many celebrities and social media influencers rebound from loose pregnancy skin with a strict diet and an intense exercise regime; however, diet and exercise may be only half the story. After a pregnancy, or dramatic weight loss, the abdominal muscles can be left weakened, and the skin in this area can become stretched and loose. In that case, besides healthy eating and exercise, many women often turn to non-surgical skin firming and skin tightening treatments like Emsculpt, Emsella, HiFU skin tightening, VelaShape 3, and Scarlet Magic Needle. If you would like to find out which of these treatments are best suited to your fitness and beauty goals as a new mum, then send a message through our website to book a loose skin Este Medical consultation at a clinic near you!

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation & How To Make Your Vagina Tight

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation & How To Make Your Vagina Tight

Vaginal tightening, also known as vaginal rejuvenation, refers to methods used to strengthen the vaginal muscles and improve vaginal tissue tone, which can become slack and weak after vaginal childbirth, during menopause, and when women get older. Vaginal laxity (e.g., experiencing a loose vagina) can have a negative impact for women when it comes to sexual performance, sexual gratification, and intimacy issues. As well vaginal laxity is often associated with incontinence (e.g., leakage of urine) and poor pelvic floor muscle health. Options: How To Make Vagina Tight Again?There are several options available to address the issue of vaginal laxity or loose vagina. One option is laser treatment to the vagina in order to stimulate collagen growth and increase the elasticity of the vaginal walls; however, this treatment doesn’t address pelvic floor muscle health, which is closely tied to the overall health of the nether regions. For instance, a healthy pelvic floor takes care of the organs in your pelvic region, like your vagina, bowels and bladder. Also on the market are creams and pills that advertise the ability to tighten the vagina, as well as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments to rejuvenate the vaginal through microinjections. You probably have heard of surgical treatments like labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, and clitoral hood reduction, all of which focus more on the aesthetic or cosmetic appearance of the female genitalia, and less on strengthening the vaginal walls and the core muscles that support this important muscular canal of the female anatomy. Emsella: Have You Heard About This Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment?Este Medical offers Emsella, a non-surgical vagina tightening treatment for females who want to improve the tightness and sensation of the vagina to: Strengthen and tighten vagina tissuesRestore sexual healthBoost sexual confidenceIncrease pleasure during intercourseElevate sex driveDecrease vaginal drynessImprove vaginal sensationThese are the core benefits of vagina rejuvenation with Emsella. Find out more about how Emsella can benefit your pelvic floor health. The non-surgical Emsella chair device emits waves of electromagnetic energy to strengthen and tone the muscles of the pelvic floor, as well as vaginal tissues and muscles. Esmella is a proven and effective non-invasive option for tightening the vagina, as well as improving the health of the pelvic floor to alleviate conditions like overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. Best Overall Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment Revealed!When it comes to treating pelvic floor health and vaginal laxity together, the best option is Emsella, as it addresses the holistic health of your core muscles that support bodily functions like peeing, pooping, and sexual intercourse. If you would like to book your first Emsella vaginal rejuvenation treatment, send us a message through our website to get started today! Does vaginal rejuvenation work using Emsella? Yes, many of our female clients say they experience benefits after just one treatment session. Emsella energy waves target the vagina and the pelvic floor muscles and stimulate this region of the lower body with HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy that causes the vagina and pelvic floor to contract and strengthen. It gives the pelvic floor and vagina muscles a deep internal workout. One treatment session can deliver the equivalent of 11,000 pelvic floor contractions. Does vaginal rejuvenation hurt using Emsella? Not at all. During your Emsella vagina tightening and pelvic floor muscle toning treatment you will sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair device as it emits its vibrating electromagnetic energy waves. Sessions are easy and fast to do — treatment sessions are non-surgical, non-invasive and pain-free! You can have Emsella vaginal laxity treatments on your lunch hour or between appointments. Contact us to arrange an Emsella treatment timeline. Is vaginal rejuvenation safe with the Emsella chair device? Yes, it is a safe and non-surgical procedure similar to a physiotherapy treatment. Emsella vaginal tightening treatments can be used to tighten the vagina and pelvic floor muscles to treat sexual dysfunction, as well as stress incontinence and overactive bladder. Why Choose Este Medical For Vaginal RejuvenationWe have gone over a few vaginal rejuvenation procedure options above, but we hope that you have come to understand how important overall pelvic floor health is to vaginal health, as well as bladder and bowel health — everything below the belt is connected in a holistic way. Go on and Google other vaginal rejuvenation clinic options to expand your choice, but we have had amazing feedback from our Emsella clients about how much stronger they feel in their core muscles, that their sex life is better, and that our Este Emsella treatment has helped save relationships. Have a look at our 5-star Trustpilot rating! Women at any age can benefit from Emsella vagina strengthening and tightening treatments. Emsella can help treat conditions related to vaginal and sexual health, urinary health, menopause, and pre and post-natal health. These treatments are an effective preventative treatment prior to becoming pregnant to prevent excess trauma to the pelvic floor muscles from childbirth, and for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles prior to the onset of menopause.

What is the Success Rate of a Hair Transplant?

What is the Success Rate of a Hair Transplant?

Once upon a time, if you lost your hair you just had to live with it, find a great wig, wear a quirky scarf, or embrace an endless array of hats. These days, not so much. If you find yourself going bald, or losing patches of hair, it’s now possible to do something about it. Which is great news if you’re just not down with being hairless. Yes, we’re talking hair transplants. But what’s the hair transplant success rate, and is a hair transplant always successful? How Successful are Hair Transplants?Hair transplants are hugely popular – and that doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon. According to this report, in 2021, over 703,000 hair transplant procedures were carried out worldwide. Over the years, as hair transplant technology has improved, the success rate of hair transplants has improved too – and this is probably the main reason why hair transplants continue to soar in popularity. Murat Before and After FUE hair transplant resultsMurat Before and After FUE hair transplant resultsSuccessful hair transplants depend on how many of your transplanted hair grafts survive. For a graft to be successful, it needs to take root and produce hair growth once surgery has been completed. You might hope that every one of the hair grafts that are transplanted will take root and grow new hair, but this would be extraordinary. A highly successful hair transplant would be when around 90% of your hair grafts take root and grow new hair. However, a hair transplant can also be considered a success if this 90% benchmark isn’t met. That’s because, you can still enjoy dramatic hair growth even when fewer hair grafts take root. Hair Transplant Success: A Holistic ApproachAt Este, we’re proud to have clients with many happy hair transplant success stories. This is down to our unique approach to hair transplants. Unlike other clinics, we don’t just take a client on and book them straight in for their hair transplant procedure. In order to ensure high chances of hair transplant success, we carry out pre-treatment care and aftercare techniques that ensure our procedures are successful. ‍ In this video, Este’s CEO Sam Cinkir explains why the Este process is so different from other hair transplant clinics. With Este, you’ll enjoy pre-treatments such as laser hair regrowth therapy and mesotherapy that work to boost your blood circulation to the area that’s to be treated. This helps – Benefit the hair growth phasePromote thicker hair growthEnsure blood reaches the hair follicles to nourish themBoost nutrients and oxygenation to hair folliclesEnsure hair has a good life spanThis intensive approach that ensures the existing hair and scalp is treated before and after the procedure is one of the main reasons why we continue to have such a high success rate of hair transplant in Turkey. How do I know if my Hair Transplant is Successful?Having a hair transplant can be a nerve-wracking experience, and one reason why is that it can be quite disconcerting to see all of your hair grafts fall out between weeks one and five. However, this is absolutely normal, and needs to happen in order for new hair to grow. It takes a while for new hair to grow, but at around the six-month mark you should be able to see your new hair growth, and by 12-18 months post treatment, you should be enjoying your full results. It can feel like an agonisingly long time to wait, but when you choose Este, it will be worth it! FUE Hair Transplant Success RateFUE hair transplants have one of the highest success rates at around 95% – 100%. This number works on the basis that a FUE hair transplant is considered successful when anything upwards of 60-70% of grafts survive. This is the same for the hair transplant crown area success rate as when 60-70% of grafts survive, the client will still achieve good hair growth and coverage. What about Female Hair Transplant Success Rate?When we talk of hair transplants, we often immediately think of them in relation to men, but women are able to have this treatment too. However, it is only a select few who will be suitable for a female hair transplant treatment and this is down to the type of hair loss they’re experiencing. According to this article, only around 2-5% of women with hair loss will be suitable for treatment. They are women with hair loss due to – Non-hormonal mechanical or traction alopeciaSurgery which has left hair loss at the incision areasFemale pattern baldness such as hairline recession and thinning at the crownTrauma such as burning, or scarringAlopecia marginalis Are Hair Transplants Successful?Hair transplant success rates depend on many factors – some to do with the client, some with the surgeon, some with the type of hair transplant carried out. At Este, we’re proud to achieve brilliant hair transplant success rates again and again, and it’s one of the reasons why we were voted Turkey’s #1 Hair Transplant Clinic of 2021, and were winners of the Most Trusted Multi-Practice Clinic 2022 at the LuxLife awards.

What is PRF Treatment? Does PRF Work for Hair Loss?

What is PRF Treatment? Does PRF Work for Hair Loss?

Hair loss can take many forms, and happen at almost any stage in life. When men and women experience hair loss it can have a negative impact on self-esteem and self-confidence. Hair shedding, hair thinning, bald spots, and pattern baldness can be traumatic at any age, the good news is with medical advances in non-surgical hair restoration methods like PRP and PRF therapy for hair regrowth it is possible to restore hair loss without surgery. There is growing interest in new hair restoration methods like PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy because it is a promising remedy for various hair loss conditions that both men and women experience. Find out how Este Medical UK PRF treatment for hair loss can help you regain your hair and your confidence! ‍What Is PRF Treatment?PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin: naturally healing PRF is found in your blood, and is rich in nourishing platelet blood cells and bioactive proteins (i.e., growth factors). During a platelet-rich fibrin treatment, a small amount of blood is taken, usually from your arm, just like when you donate blood; the blood is then centrifuged to isolate your blood’s platelet-rich fibrin, then your own PRF is injected into your scalp in the areas where there is hair loss. It is considered a simple and pain-free experience. PRP/PRF injections are similar; the main difference between PRP and PRF is how the blood is processed. With PRP injections an anticoagulant is added, PRF injections do not involve this step. Essentially you should consider PRF as the next generation of PRP — that said, both treatments are considered highly effective at restoring hair growth and improving scalp health in preparation for a hair transplant. If you would like to speak about having a PRF UK hair loss treatment, then send us a message through our website to book an Este PRF consultation. Does PRF Work For Hair Loss Work?Yes, PRF treatment for hair loss has a high success rate. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy helps to promote healthy hair growth naturally as well as stimulate blood circulation in the scalp which creates optimal conditions for hair regrowth and hair repair. When PRF (re: i-PRF) is injected into the scalp it stimulates and reactivates dormant or weakened hair follicles to produce thicker and healthier hair. In the case of PRF treatment after a hair transplant, PRF injections help trigger a more robust growth cycle for newly transplanted hair follicles. The fibrin in PRF help to hold or keep essential growth factors in the injection area of the scalp (i.e., the treatment area), fibrin is a natural binder that keeps nutrients and bioactive proteins where they can do the most good. The combination of PRF blood cells (e.g., platelets) and fibrin (e.g., blood proteins) promote blood circulation, cellular healing (see alopecia), and trigger hair follicles into active growth, all of which counter hair loss. ‍Benefits Of PRF Treatment For Hair LossJust like PRP hair loss treatment, PRF hair loss therapy has many benefits, including: Natural hair growth resultsSee results in as little as 2 to 3 monthsNon-surgical option for hair lossMinimally invasive procedureHair regrowthHair thickeningBetter hair and scalp healthHalt hair sheddingStimulates hair growthIdeal post-transplant aftercareLow risk of allergic reactionsNow is the time to book an Este Medical PRF hair loss treatment, and take advantage of our Este UK special offer of 10% off PRF hair treatment. *Offer subject to change ‍PRF vs. PRP: Which is Better for Hair Loss?PRF and PRP are excellent hair loss treatments for women and men, but it is useful to go over how they are similar and what makes them a little different. Both PRF and PRP aid in cellular regeneration to repair hair follicles, help to reverse hair loss, and grow thicker hair. Both treatments use essential ingredients extracted from your own blood, which makes the treatment safe, and reduces the risk of adverse reactions. The main difference with PRF hair injections (i-PRF) is that no anticoagulant is used during the processing of the blood once it is removed from your body. In general, PRF is considered more effective because it is more advanced than PRP. However, PRP is still a highly effective non-surgical treatment as well. There is a strong medical argument that the high fibrin content in i-PRF makes the treatment better at stimulating targeted hair growth. Additionally, PRF is apparently active for a longer period of time once injected into the scalp compared to PRP. In this case, PRF would be considered more effective. The best way to determine whether PRP or PRF is best suited for your type of hair loss is to have a professional hair loss consultation at an Este UK hair loss clinic near you. Book a consultation to discover if PRF or PRP is better for you! ‍PRF Injections For Hair Loss ExplainedDuring a PRF procedure blood is drawn from your body, a small amount, which will then be medically spun to isolate the essential platelet-rich fibrin necessary to stimulate hair regrowth and hair health. Once the PRF injection is ready, it will be gently injected into the scalp where you are suffering from hair loss (e.g., hairline, temples, crown, bald spots…). It is a quick and easy procedure that is considered pain-free. ‍PRF expected results and recovery time: many clients experience new hair growth as a result of PRF in just a couple of months. There is no significant downtime from having PRP or PRF, so you resume your regular activities immediately. Contact Este Medical Group in the UK to start your PRF hair growth journey!

Let’s look at the reasons why many people turn to IV therapy to improve their looks and feel better inside and out. ‍IV drip therapy can be used to treat age-related concerns like: Skin laxityFacial wrinklesDull, dehydrated skinSkin repair and renewalHair lossThis type of therapy is also highly effective at treating many health-related concerns for the body, specifically the immune system: Chronic fatigue, tirednessNutritional deficiencyWeight loss issuesMigraineToxin overloadAsthmaAllergiesFibromyalgiaHabitual skin infectionsElectrolyte imbalanceThe beauty of IV drip treatments is they deliver healing and nourishing vitamins and minerals direct to the bloodstream, as well as hydrate the body and flush out damaging toxins. If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned skin or immunity issues, then IV therapy should be part of your holistic approach to boost your immune system, improve your health, and rejuvenate your appearance. ‍Book an Este Medical UK IV drip consultation to find out how you can benefit from adding IV therapy to your self-care routine. ‍What is an IV Drip? How Does IV Drip Work?IV or intravenous fluid therapy is a method of administering a customised mixture, such as medication or nutrients, directly into the bloodstream (e.g., vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, electrolytes…). The IV method provides your body with fluid replacement and/or essential supplements through the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system, for maximum hydration and absorption. During an IV infusion or fluid drip, a small butterfly needle is inserted into a vein, usually in the arm. Are IV drips safe? Yes, professional intravenous treatments are safe; it’s a simple procedure with no downtime needed. The IV method is considered the fastest way to deliver fluids and medications throughout the body. ‍IV treatments are pain-free, and take about an hour to administer. Post-treatment you can resume your regular activities. Contact Este Medical Group to book this wellness-boosting treatment in the UK. ‍Are IV Drips Healthy?IV fluid drip therapy has many health benefits. Most medical clinics should be able to customise the essential ingredients that go into your IV treatment. ‍Does an IV drip hydrate you? Yes, an IV drip is a fast acting hydration treatment. If you are experiencing dehydration and fatigue (maybe hangover related), then a saline solution is ideal for intensive hydration, as sodium is an electrolyte. Your IV drip can be boosted by including essential ingredients like calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, and magnesium, all of which will enhance bodily hydration. Looking to strengthen your immune system? Request an IV treatment that will help to fight allergies, viruses, and bacteria. For example, including vitamin C or glutathione to your IV drip will help to protect your health, boost immunity, and give your skin a natural healthy glow. If you are recovering from a long-term illness (e.g., long Covid), then regular IV therapy is a smart addition to your rehabilitation therapy. ‍Book an IV fluid drip consultation with Este Medical to talk about your health needs. Let’s discuss how Este can customise your IV therapy to reach your health and aesthetic goals (e.g., IV treatment to enhance weight loss and boost metabolism). ‍What Is An Iron Infusion?This customised IV therapy is ideal for people who have an iron deficiency, iron-deficiency anaemia, or chronic kidney disease. ‍How long does an iron infusion take to work? In about one week you should start to experience an improvement. After about 2 to 3 weeks haemoglobin (i.e., the protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen) levels should see an increase. A key benefit of having an iron IV drip is the positive effects can last for several months. If you would like to arrange a health infusion, or energy boosting IV therapy treatment with Este, then send us a message through our website to set up a booking. How Often Should You Get An IV Drip?‍IV drip therapy will have a cumulative, regenerative effect on your skin, body and overall health. Regular IV treatments are recommended for sustained long-term results. Este Medical will customise the most optimal IV treatment plan for you based on your health, lifestyle, and beauty goals. On average you should have IV drip therapy once a week to accommodate four IV infusions, then continue with IV maintenance therapy every 4 weeks, or as required. However, some treatment plans may vary depending on treatment goals and current health status. Best to contact Este Medical for an expert IV consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you. ‍Are IV Drips Worth It?If you are looking to adopt a more holistic approach to your personal health care, or are looking for fast results (i.e., quicker than anything in pill form), then IV drip therapy is worth your serious consideration. Not only is IV drip therapy nourishing and healing for the body, it is also an amazing anti-ageing treatment for the skin and body. Depending on how your IV drip fluid is customised to suit your goals, it has many beauty, wellbeing, and health benefits. ‍Make IV therapy part of your regular self-care routine, book an intravenous drip consultation with Este Medical Group today.

What is Intimate Lightening Treatment?

What is Intimate Lightening Treatment?

You’ll be pleased to hear that at Este, we now offer the new Dermamelan peel, along with two other treatment options that can help with intimate lightening. Intimate area lightening is becoming more and more popular, and at Este you can choose from three intimate area lightening treatment options. They are – Dermamelan peelClearlift laserLaser hair removalHow to Lighten Dark Intimate AreasIf you’ve been considering vaginal bleaching or intimate area skin lightening, you may have found it difficult to find an option that’s safe, effective, and delivered by skincare professionals. That’s all changed now that you’ve discovered our brand-new treatment, the Dermamelan peel. This treatment helps to – Brighten the skinEven out pigmentation patchesRejuvenate the skin in your intimate areas Why Lighten your Intimate Areas?For many people the notion of lightening your private parts may seem like an unusual proposition. However, more and more people are opting to lighten their intimate areas due to it helping them feel more confident, and giving them a more uniform skin tone. There’s no medical need to lighten your skin down there, and if you choose to do it, it’s purely for cosmetic purposes. However, if you’re keen to know how to lighten intimate areas, you’re in the right place. Is Vaginal Bleaching Safe?At Este, our main intimate lightening treatment is the Dermamelan peel. This is a peel that can be used on the face. So with that in mind, it’s also safe to be used in more intimate body areas too. This peel is a combination of active ingredients including Kojic acid and Phytic acid, and is used to treat hyperpigmentation and promote an even complexion. When you choose Este for your Dermamelan peel, you will have the first treatment applied by one of our trained skincare professionals. After your first treatment, you will then be able to apply the formula at home. When you have your initial treatment, we will give you professional advice on how, when, and how long to apply this peel. Choosing Este for this treatment ensures you’re in the capable hands of trained, knowledgeable professionals, who are on hand with expert advice whenever you might need it. Best Intimate LighteningIf you’ve been wondering what causes skin pigmentation in your intimate areas, and how you can remove it, you might be interested to know that a number of things can be responsible. They include: Wearing tight clothesSexExerciseRubbing of the skinWhile our main treatment for this condition is the Dermamelan peel, our ClearLift laser and laser hair removal procedures can also help to sort out pigmentation concerns ‘downstairs’. For instance, if you suffer from ingrown hairs in the pubic region, having laser hair removal will sort this problem out and in turn help to lighten the area by getting rid of unwanted, and ingrown hair. How to Lighten Intimate Areas FastThe intimate peel is one of the fastest ways to lighten your bikini area. With your first treatment in salon, and your next sessions carried out by yourself at home, the Dermamelan peel is an easy option if you’re looking for a fast, effective, and convenient option. It’s long lasting too – but should you need a repeat treatment, the process is quick. Is Dermamelan the Same as Bleaching?No. Dermamelan is not the same as bleaching. When you choose the Dermamelan peel to address your skin pigmentation concerns in your intimate areas, you’re choosing a safe, tried and tested treatment delivered by professionals in a salon environment. Lightening your skin should be taken seriously and if you buy products off the internet, you’ll be putting your health at risk. With cosmetic treatments, it’s always best to err on the side of caution so please only apply safe and legal products available in the UK. Intimate bleaching involves lightening the areas around your genitals and while many people call it ‘vaginal bleaching’, there is absolutely no bleaching of your vaginal canal involved. Intimate lightening treatments are used on external skin only. There are many different skin bleaching cream products available on the market, but creams that contain an active bleaching ingredient, hydroquinone, are not legal in the UK as they are not considered safe.

What is EMFACE? How Does EMFACE Work?

What is EMFACE? How Does EMFACE Work?

EMFACE UK treatments are now available at Este Medical! And women and men want to know, does EMFACE really work? To help you better understand this effective and innovative facial toning treatment we have pulled together commonly asked questions people have about the new EMFACE face treatment. We hope that after discovering the benefits of EMFACE for neck and face, you will make plans to try this non-surgical, needle-free ‘lunch hour’ facelift that has been proven to simultaneously lift, tighten and tone the face and neck with skin-safe radio frequency and HIFES™ energies. One of the best ways to see how does EMFACE work, is to look at EMFACE before and after treatment photos. It’s hard to deny that EMFACE treatments make a big difference in helping to lift facial features like the forehead, cheeks, jowls, and sagging skin on the neck. For males and females looking to naturally lift and smooth their facial features, it is an alternative to injectables, microneedling, and facial surgery. EMFACE is one of the few effective facial treatments that can non-surgically reverse the two most significant causes of ageing: decreased facial muscle tone and loss of collagen (see skin laxity). ‍What Does the EMFACE Device Do?Like magic, the EMFACE device delivers skin-safe radio frequency (RF energy) and HIFES energy into the facial skin to contract muscles below the surface. The stimulating energy triggers the body to increase production of collagen and elastin fibres, which helps to strengthen and lift sagging face muscles, as well as tighten and firm the surface of the skin to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. After a series of EMFACE procedures, the face will look more sculpted and lifted in appearance. Skin will feel smoother (i.e., wrinkle free!) and be more resilient. If you would like to start facial sculpting treatments, Este clinics are EMFACE providers you can trust to help you put your best face forward! Make an EMFACE treatment UK booking! What Is EMFACE Treatment?During a non-invasive EMFACE procedure you will not experience any discomfort, and the treatment only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. For the treatment your therapist will strategically place skin-safe padded electrodes on the surface of your face, typically one is on the forehead and two are over your cheeks. Here’s our Este Medical founder and CEO, Sam Cinkir, having an Este EMFACE procedure. CEO Sam Cinkir – Este Medical Group‍Does EMFACE Hurt?People do not report pain with this treatment. When the padded electrodes are on the face you might feel a slight warming sensation as radio frequency (i.e., RF energy) is emitted, and the high intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) may cause your facial muscles to scrunch or contract, but this is part of the EMFACE process, and it is not considered a painful procedure. Rest assured there is no downtime or discomfort following an EMFACE toning facial treatment. We recommend you look at EMFACE reviews online to gather further information, or contact Este Medical to speak to a skincare expert about your expectations and concerns. ‍Is EMFACE Worth The Money?Everyone is keen to know how much does EMFACE cost? Depending on where you go for treatment, prices will vary. How much is EMFACE at Este Medical? We encourage you to book a face contouring and sculpting consultation to determine your EMFACE treatment timeline for the most optimal and long-term results. We will be happy to discuss our pricing with you, send us a message to book your appointment today. If you are troubled or feeling depressed about sagging jowls, loose skin, facial wrinkles and other signs of ageing, then taking the time and money to invest in yourself, and to improve your appearance is worth it! One way to find out if a treatment like EMFACE is worth it is to have a skin assessment at one of our UK Este clinics, our skincare experts can advise you on the best treatment to help you reach your aesthetic and beauty goals. ‍How Long Do EMFACE Results Last?EMFACE results last a long time, for about 1 year. After your treatment you should start to see full results in about 6 to 12 weeks (FYI it takes your skin time to start ramping up collagen production, so you need to give it a chance to work!). ‍Is EMFACE permanent? The results are long lasting, but not permanent. As mentioned above, EMFACE is a natural alternative to more invasive procedures like facial surgery. Some clients love having EMFACE treatments on a regular basis to maintain the best results. Contact Este Medical to book your first EMFACE treatment! ‍Is EMFACE Effective And Does EMFACE Work?Yes, EMFACE is a highly effective facial contouring and toning treatment that works! It is one of the few anti-ageing face and neck treatments that smooths and lifts facial features (e.g., sagging cheeks, droopy forehead) and skin on the neck. Clinical trials show that EMFACE does help to reduce wrinkles and visibly lift the face. If you are scared of needles and Botox still makes you nervous, then it sounds like EMFACE is the anti-ageing and skin toning treatment for you! Let us help you ‘snatch’ your face back! Book an Este skincare consultation to get started on your EMFACE journey to a younger looking appearance. Last Updated: July 27, 2023
