We advise all our clients to wear sun protection all year round as even in the winter your skin can still be damaged. We mainly see sun damage mostly on clients with pigmentation, but it can affect anyone.

If you don’t wear it in the winter, then it is imperative that you wear sun block when the weather is as hot as it’s been lately! Face the Future stock a range of advanced sunblocks that are excellent for protecting your skin from sun damage.

Here’s our quick guide:

Body acne is a very common problem for men, and especially for adolescent boys, with the main areas affected being the back and the chest. This can also be a problem for some women. This problem can often affect day to day activities and self esteem.

From our experience with body acne sufferers who have visited the clinic, from talking to them we have found they are often very self conscious and avoid taking their shirt off in public, which in the summer months when you are looking to go on holiday can be quite a problem. Acne on the body and chest can also become very painful. If the condition is left untreated, as well as pain and discomfort it can result in serious skin damage such as scaring.

Here at Face the Future, we use the latest Danné Montague King acne treatments to combat chest, back and body acne (as well as facial acne), but firstly, let’s look at the key causes to chest acne then the ways of treating this skin problem.

Whether we consider the skin on our face or body, everyone knows that collagen is important for the skin.  Indeed it is the principle structural protein holding the skin together.  The quantity and quality of your skins collagen has a major role in your appearance.  Therefore it may be tempting to think that getting collagen into your skin could lead to dramatic rejuvenating effects.  While there is a grain of truth in that, things are more complicated than they seem.

Collagen is not like most proteins, which are essentially compact molecular clumps – it is basically a fibre, or when fully mature, a mesh of fibres.  Not surprisingly, collagens composition is also unusual.  It is particularly rich in four amino acids, lysine, proline, hydroxylsine and hydroxyproline.

Face the Future now has another top of the range filler product available at our clinic. Restylane have now introduced Restylane Lidocaine and Restylane Perlane Lidocaine, which is “Restylane – now with pain relief”.

These two products, which are used for dermal fillers, include 0.3% lidocaine to give our clients a comfortable filler treatment session which is less painful and similar to that of juvederm ultra.

Lidocaine was first synthesised in 1943 by the chemist Nils Löfgren in Stockholm.  Together with his colleague Bengt Lundqvist, they developed one of the swiftest and safest local anaesthetics.

After a high demand from new and existing clients, Face the Future are now trialling a class 4 medical laser tattoo removal machine.

This advanced LB2 laser tattoo removal system allows our clinicians to deliver highly controlled laser light to a very precise area, treating only the specific target area of our clients to safely and quickly provide outstanding permanent results.  It is ideal for tattoo removal on colours including blacks, blues reds and browns.

We are pleased to say we are really happy with the results which we are achieving. Clients have noticed that after test patch and first treatment there is a large amount fading with the 6 week period.

Face the Future is pleased to announce a new member to the team!

Stacey Barker from Leeds brings with her a wealth of experience in the aesthetics field. Stacey is a highly experienced NVQ Level 3 beauty therapist who trained at Thomas Danby College three years ago.

Stacey then spent the last 3 years at SK:N Leeds where she became a fully qualified laser technician and gained a wealth of experience in a variety of laser equipment covering laser hair removal, tattoo removal, red veins and photo rejuvenation.

Stacey also has a tremendous passion for all aspects of skin and is looking forward to expanding her knowledge even further by attending the famous Danne Montague King training centre in London.

All clients can be assured of both a thorough and, informative treatment with Stacey and everybody at face the future wishes her every success with her new role.

It’s finally arrived, the very latest skin tightening machine from Japan. The RF2241 has been developed over a period of 10 years and we are all very excited to be one of the first clinics in the UK to have taken delivery of this fantastic machine.

The RF works by penetrating the skin by up to 50mm into the subcutaneous layer contracting the collagen strands using radio frequency heat waves. During the process the machine stimulates new collagen production, which in turn smooths the surface skin, reducing lines and wrinkles and provides immediate skin tightening and further long term tightening effects.
