Mad About Her Face: Did Renee Zellweger Transform Her Appearance With A Facelift?

The hype around derma rollers for fighting hair loss and kickstarting new hair growth is seriously on fire right now. And with good reason, these little roller devices, with their microneedling magic on the scalp, can totally enhance your hair regrowth goals. Before you dive into the derma roller DIY hair revolution, let’s talk about derma roller pros and cons.Derma rollers have the potential to be your secret weapon in the battle against hair loss, but they need to be handled with care. Without proper derma roller instructions and best practices, you might be at risk of skin irritation and discomfort, and that’s not going to make the whole experience very beneficial is it? Certainly, using a derma roller with the ability to microneedle the scalp can have advantages, but when used at home without proper instructions on best practices on derma roller technique, there could be some risks. If you cannot resist trying out this new hair growth trend, then at least take some advice from the hair loss pros at Este Medical Group on the pros and cons of derma rollers. ‍How Do Derma Rollers Help With Hair Growth?Handheld derma rollers essentially deliver a targeted microneedling treatment to the scalp. When the derma roller device is rolled over areas of hair thinning or along a receding hairline it leaves miniscule micro incisions. Microneedling to the scalp stimulates hair growth factors and helps to regenerate the health of hair follicles. Additionally, the micro incisions created by the derma roller allow for transdermal drug delivery (i.e., hair loss drug delivery system). For instance, during a customised Este Medical derma roller treatment the hair growth drug Minoxidil can be administered to the scalp as part of a holistic hair regrowth treatment. If you would like to arrange a customised microneedling scalp treatment that includes derma rolling, then send us a message through our website to book an Este hair loss treatment. As demonstrated in the video here, best results are achieved when derma rolling on the scalp is combined with Minoxidil hair growth therapy and our non-invasive laser light hair regrowth treatment for hair loss.For males looking to enhance hair growth of their beards, you can also use derma rolling on the skin area where beard growth is weak, as well as boost beard growth with Minoxidil for beard growth and laser hair growth treatments for beard hair. The ultimate way to fully enhance a beard, or have a full beard, is to have a FUE beard transplant in Turkey. If you are serious about restoring hair loss without risk, then we recommend you book a hair loss consultation to talk about derma rolling treatments and treatment extensions at home — let the hair loss experts at Este get you started on how to properly use your derma roller, once you know how best to use a derma roller you can combine Este in-clinic treatments with laser and Minoxidil with your at-home derma roller activity. ‍Este At-Home Pro Tip! If you are looking for the best at-home hair loss treatment that is skin-safe and gentle, we recommend our new Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo! If you are derma rolling at home for hair loss, then you should be using Este’s Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo to ensure the best outcome. ‍How long does derma rolling take to grow hair? Results for derma rolling depend on several hair loss factors like your type of hair loss, the severity of your hair loss, your body’s healing response, and what quality of derma roller you are using. On average, you can see new hair growth results in about 2 to 6 months. Better results will be experienced if derma rolling is combined with professional PRF hair injections and laser light hair loss therapy. Because derma rolling for hair loss can take a while to see full results, especially without combining with laser, PRP or PRF and Minoxidil hair growth therapy, we support the use of at-home derma rolling but only with proper direction and Este in-clinic training on how to microneedle your scalp effectively. Schedule a Este hair loss assessment to determine your type of hair loss and the most suitable hair growth treatments to restore your hair.‍Potential Risks Of DIY Derma Rolling For Hair RegrowthBefore you start vigorously microneedling your head, it’s advised to understand the potential complications of novice derma rolling. Let’s take a look at the risks of self-administered derma rolling: Risk of infection: Using non-sterile and poorly sanitised derma rollers devices may introduce bacteria into the scalp, increasing the risk of infections and skin inflammation.Scalp damage: Improper microneedling technique and excessive pressure while rolling can cause skin irritation, abrasions, redness, and even scarring. If hair loss is already a problem for you, then you don’t need these additional problems.Uneven results: Inconsistent rolling, incorrect needle depth, and rolling frequency can lead to uneven outcomes like irregular hair growth patterns, or even worsening hair patchiness.Scalp sensitivity: Overuse of derma roller DIY technique can make your scalp sensitive, resulting in scalp discomfort, itching, and sensitivity to drugstore hair products.‍Choose Este Medical For Derma Rolling Expertise & Expert Hair CareAt Este Medical Group, we’re passionate about the amazing benefits of microneedling and derma rolling when paired with other medical clinic hair loss treatments. We’re here because we genuinely care. If you’re rolling at home, we just want to ensure you’re doing it right to maximise a fantastic outcome! ‍Now is the time to book your UK derma rolling Este consultation!

Celebrities with Hair Loss: Drake, Wayne Rooney, Tyra Banks & More!

Leave a Comment / Hair Loss Treatment / Mayyas

Famous celebrities are just like everyone else when it comes to hair loss, balding, and hair thinning.Anyone can suffer from male or female hair loss, and anyone can also get professional hair loss treatments that work!It’s encouraging when celebrities come out and share their hair loss experiences and their celebrity hair transplants, as there is still stigma associated around hair loss. At Este Medical, we feel it’s important to reduce the stigma, and share how having a hair loss treatment can improve your life for the better. Let’s take a look at some celebrity hair loss and hair restoration stories about Drake, David Beckham, Antonio Conte, Wayne Rooney, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tyra Banks and other famous faces for inspiration. We’ll try to include as many celebrity hair transplants before and after photos as we can find! ‍Drake Love Heart Hair Rapper Drake’s hair loss makeover is original! Often when people suffer from visible hair loss they try to mask it, in Drake’s case he shaved a ‘heart’ into his hairline. This new Drake hair lewk was a result of his hair growing in a bit weird after having COVID-19. In a funny way this new Drake heart hair coincides well with his album Certified Lover Boy. The good news is Drake is recovering from this hair loss episode. Covid related fevers may trigger a relatively common type of hair loss called telogen effluvium (TE). Celebrity postpartum hair loss might also be a result of stress and TE. If you are unsure what type of male hair loss or female hair loss you are experiencing, then we invite you to book an Este Medical hair loss consultation to find out which professional hair loss treatments are best suited to you. Prince William & Prince Harry Hair Loss FussBoth these brothers have experienced different degrees of hair thinning and receding hair as they have aged. Prince Harry’s memoir reportedly has comments about his brother’s Prince William hair loss. Which brings up a good question, when did Prince William lose his hair (pardon us, Prince of Wales hair loss!)? Now in his early 40s, William started to go bald at an early age. Are there Prince William hair transplant stories in the press, yes, but it seems that he hasn’t undergone any hair restoration procedures. The Prince of Wales, depending on how progressive his current hair loss is and with a diagnosis of well-defined male pattern baldness, might be just the perfect candidate for a male FUE hair transplant. ‍Prince Harry losing hair over the years is not a secret, but has Prince Harry had a hair transplant? There has been much speculation, but most experts tend to agree that Harry hasn’t had hair grafts, but more likely Harry has had alternative hair loss treatments like PRP for male hair loss and perhaps uses products like minoxidil or Este’s Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo. One thing for sure is Prince Harry’s beard has inspired many men to have beard transplants. With a beard that nice, a Prince Harry hair transplant should be next in line! ‍Jada Pinkett Smith Alopecia JPS is probably one of the most famous people with alopecia (…can we even remember Jada Pinkett Smith with hair?). Forever these three words ‘Jada Smith Alopecia’ will be linked to thousands of Google searches for news about Jada Pinkett Smith’s ordeal with alopecia hair loss. Jada revealed much despair at her sudden hair loss around 2018, sharing news that handfuls of hair were falling out while showering. It really must have been a terrifying experience for Jada, but by sharing her story of hair loss from alopecia she made this surprisingly common hair loss condition gain newsworthy attention. In talking about her own experience with alopecia, Jada made other people feel more comfortable coming forward to talk about their own hair loss problems from alopecia. ‍Este Medical has hair loss treatments that address a range of alopecia hair problems, they include: PRP and PRF micro hair injections combined with mesotherapy, Exciplex light therapy (i.e., autoimmune skin treatment), laser hair regrowth therapy, and in more severe cases a hair transplant may be the best option to treat alopecia. If you think you have alopecia we can help you with a final diagnosis and recommend the best alopecia hair treatment to grow your hair back better and healthier! Book a Este Medical alopecia hair loss consultation. ‍David Beckham Hair Transplant Speculation As a medical term, androgenic alopecia sounds scary. You might be surprised to know that David Beckham, like so many UK men, was probably experiencing the most common type of male hair loss, male pattern baldness. If you look at before and after photos of Beckham, it seems apparent he has had some hair loss treatments to restore his thinning crown and receding hairline. Beckham’s hair loss condition could have been addressed with a FUE hair transplant, or non-surgical treatments that are more easily concealed from the public eye, like laser light hair regrowth therapy and PRP hair injections. David, tell us what you did! ‍Are you looking to restore thinning hair like Beckham? Then see our advice on how to restore thin hair: How To Thicken Thin Hair: Natural, Non-Surgical & Surgical Options. ‍What Did Antonio Conte Do To His Hair? Former footballer Antonio Conte is known for his high-profile career as manager of Premier League Club Tottenham Hotspur. Throughout his career there has been speculation as to whether or not he’s had a hair transplant. He certainly looks good sporting a full head of hair again! Was there an Antonio Conte Hair Transplant? When it comes to progressive male balding later in life, the best course of action is often a hair transplant. Hair transplantation is no longer a societal taboo. For many men it’s the only way they can regain a natural looking full head of hair again. Increasing numbers of men are turning to hair transplants to regrow their hair. Did you know that women suffering from baldness can also have

Caring for Your Skin Post-Laser Treatment: Dos and Don’ts

Carboxytherapy: What is it, Benefits & Treatment

Leave a Comment / Tips & Advice / Mayyas

So, what is carboxytherapy, does carboxytherapy work, and why should you have it done when there are so many other awesome aesthetic treatments to try? Let’s find out… What is Carboxytherapy?Carboxytherapy is the injection of medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO2) into specific areas of the body to target certain conditions. Carboxytherapy can be used to address – CelluliteDark under eye circlesStretch marksFine linesSkin laxityAlopeciaIt is a non-surgical treatment that uses very fine needles, it can be carried out quickly, and at Este, it’s performed by our Director of Facial Aesthetics, Dr Kiran. How does Carboxytherapy work?Carboxytherapy works by almost tricking the body into thinking that it’s experiencing a loss of oxygen. So, if you had carboxytherapy under eyes, your body’s response would be to flood the treated area with oxygen in a response to the surge of carbon dioxide in the area. This, in turn, boosts blood flow, increasing circulation, and aids collagen production too. Carboxytherapy injections also help to remove toxins, thus giving your immune and lymphatic systems a helping hand, too. As more blood flows into the treated area, it brings with it more nutrients and oxygen as well. All of this means that when you have carboxytherapy for dark circles, for instance, the skin cells under your eyes are boosted and given a kickstart to perform more effectively. This increase in performance then ensures dark under eye circles are dealt with and skin tone is corrected. Why Should you get Carboxytherapy?The benefits of Carboxytherapy are multiple. The main one, we think, being that it’s a much safer alternative to other treatment options you may be considering. If you are thinking about having carboxytherapy for cellulite, for instance, another option you might be looking at is liposuction. In comparison with this procedure, carboxytherapy is a much safer option. Unlike liposuction there are much fewer associated negative side effects when you treat cellulite with carboxytherapy. You won’t have to worry about possible lidocaine toxicity, internal puncturing, or potential kidney and/or heart issues. The only real carboxytherapy side effects are possible bruising at the site of your injections. There are other benefits of Carboxytherapy too – It’s long-lasting – you’ll enjoy results for around six monthsIt’s cheaper than other optionsIt’s quickIt’s non-invasiveThere’s no downtimeIs Carboxytherapy Safe?There have been many studies into the safety of carboxytherapy, and the findings have shown that yes, this treatment is a safe option for the treatment of skin concerns such as cellulite. Does Carboxytherapy Hurt?It’s the question we all want to know the answer to – when we’re considering an aesthetic treatment. However, a carboxytherapy procedure is felt differently depending on the condition it is being used to treat. If you are having carboxytherapy for stretch marks, you may just feel an itching sensation – that’s because there are no nerves in scarred skin. If you’re treating cellulite, you are more likely to feel a stronger sensation. This has been compared to a feeling of pressure – the same sort of pressure that you’d feel during a blood pressure check. This pressure sensation is caused by the injection of the carbon dioxide into your skin, that then expands once inside. After your treatment, you may notice a feeling of warmth, and perhaps a tingling sensation, for around 24 hours post-treatment. This is just the carbon dioxide doing what it should be doing – getting your circulation moving, and bursting any fat cells so that your body can eliminate them. Carboxytherapy: Yes or No?For skin issues such as stretch marks, dark under eye circles, and cellulite, carboxytherapy makes a great choice. It’s a quick procedure – sessions take around 15 – 30 minutes. It’s cheaper than other options, and it’s well tolerated. What’s more, it’s not often you discover an aesthetics procedure with such minimal possible side effects. For us, carboxytherapy for cellulite, or carboxytherapy for dark circles, is definitely a yes.

Can You Use Someone Else’s Hair for a Hair Transplant?

Leave a Comment / Hair Transplant / Mayyas

The subject of hair transplants poses all sorts of interesting questions, and one we hear quite regularly at Este is, ‘can you use other people’s hair for transplant?’ Can Anyone get a Hair Transplant?If you’re considering a hair transplant and you’re wondering if you’re a suitable candidate, the main point to remember is that hair transplants are only suitable for people who are experiencing permanent hair loss. This hair loss is often hereditary, so if there’s a pattern of your older family members going through hair loss, and now you’re experiencing the same thing, then you will likely be a suitable candidate. If, however, you’re suffering from hair loss due to alopecia areata, or diffuse hair loss, then it’s unlikely that a hair transplant will work for you. This is because even after the hair transplant, it’s likely that your immune system will attack your newly transplanted hair and the whole process will have failed. Where does Hair for Hair Transplants come from?Hair for hair transplants always has to come from your own body. You can’t have a hair transplant with other people’s hair but, can you transplant hair from other parts of the body? Yes, you can. In order for a hair transplant to work, the hair used must be taken from – Your own bodyAn area of your scalp with thicker hair growthThe back of the neckBeardOr as a hair transplant from other parts of the bodySo, if you’ve lost a considerable amount of hair from your head, and you want to know, ‘can you get a hair transplant if you are bald?’ then you’ll be pleased to hear that, yes, you can. Why can’t you have a Hair Transplant using Other People’s Hair?We are often asked, ‘can you transplant other people’s hair?’ and the answer is: No. But why is this? It’s because our bodies are clever and can’t be fooled. If you tried to have a hair transplant from other donor, your immune system would immediately recognise an outsider. Your immune system would be alerted to this intruder and wouldn’t give this new hair a chance to grow. The result would be that the newly transplanted hair would simply fall out and the hair follicles wouldn’t have had time to grow. What about Synthetic Hair Transplants?Synthetic hair follicles are a relatively new player on the scene in the world of hair transplants. This is something that Este doesn’t do, and that’s largely down to the temporary nature of this procedure. We achieve fantastic results with our proven methods of hair transplant and have even been named as the best hair transplant clinic in Turkey. Synthetic hair follicles use artificial strands of hair to give the illusion of natural hair. They are available in a variety of hair colours. Unlike real hair transplants, synthetic hair follicles will not grow. However, they do shed, and you can expect to lose around 10% of your synthetic hair each year. On average, your synthetic hair transplant is expected to last for approximately 7 – 8 years. During that time you may need top-ups. How do Hair Transplants Work?At Este, we approach hair transplants in a holistic and revolutionary way, because we want to make sure you get the best results achievable. Your hair transplant experience starts with our unmatched pre-treatment care where we make sure your scalp is absolutely ready to receive its hair transplant. This may entail pre-treatment therapy such as – Laser hair regrowth therapyMesotherapy These treatments help ensure your scalp is in the best possible state to receive your transplanted hair follicles. These pre-treatment therapies take place at an Este clinic in the UK, whereas your actual hair transplant will happen at our state-of-the-art sister clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. Here, our highly-skilled surgeons will use either the FUE or DHI transplant technique. For the best FUE results we use the Sapphire hair transplant method. This method of hair transplant means less bleeding, fewer scars, less pain, more natural visible results, and a lower infection risk. The DHI process, on the other hand, uses the choi pen which creates incisions at the same time as implanting the hair follicle. It can be a faster process and is less invasive than more traditional methods. The number of hair grafts you need for both of these treatment methods will depend on the severity of your hair loss and the look you want to achieve. Does Transplanted Hair Grow?Possibly the most worrying part of getting your head around the process of hair transplants is to find out that the hair that’s been transplanted doesn’t grow and will actually fall out a few weeks after the treatment. But don’t worry! This is entirely normal. Once your body has recovered from the hair transplant treatment, new hairs will begin to grow where you’ve had the transplant. In order to get the best results, and once you’ve returned to the UK after your procedure, you will have aftercare treatment at your nearest Este clinic. We will also make sure you’re given the best aftercare advice available in order to ensure successful hair growth. A New YouIf hair loss is getting you down and you’d like to do something about it, you can! Book in for your consultation with Este and see how we can help transform your hair and boost your self-confidence at the same time. We look forward to meeting you. Last Updated: January 12, 2023
