Sun damage, environmental damage, pigmentation, broken capillaries, lines and wrinkles are a common problem for most males and females over the age of 30. ALL of these problems can be reduced and controlled by receiving a course of photo-rejuvination treatments.

The use of photo-rejuvination treatment regularly, will help to stimulate collagen and Elastin and will therefore improve the firmness and overall texture of the skin long term. It also repairs sun damage, decreases age spots and helps calm roseacea (although there is no known cure for roseacea).

There isn’t any machine, system or treatment that will work on everyone. However it is estimated that photo-rejuvination will work on 90% of the population. The results of the treatment will vary from person to person but you should start to see a difference when the skin has had time to have a full renewal process, hence after 21 - 28 days. The treatments should be performed every 21days to a month apart, the cells must have time to regenerate before the next treatment.

It is vital that you use the recommended homecare products to gain the full benefits of these treatments.

A rejuvination treatment package consists of 6 treatments, each treatment lasts 1 hour and includes microdermabrasion and photo-rejuvination. You will receive an in-depth consultation with one of our fully qualified therapists to ensure that you are suitable for photo-rejuvination treatments and that they are the best treatment to fulfill your skincare requirements.

The head, neck, shoulders and tops of arms are important energy centres within your body. If you are feeling stressed, tired or angry, tension can accumulate. The stress and tension show up as stiff neck and shoulders. Hair loss and eye strain can also be a sign of stress.

Indian Head Massage involves working with a firm and gentle rhythm to help untie blockages and relieve uncomfortable, painful build up of tension. It’s effect is not just physical, it also works on an emotional level, calming the spirit to promote relaxation.

An ancient proverb states: ” A happy mind is medicine. No better prescription exists.” The results bear this out.

People who come to Papillon feeling despondent, depressed, worried, tense, stressed and distressed, leave in a happier more relaxed frame of mind after just one massage.

It is said that regular Indian Head Massage enhances the scalp and promotes the growth of lustrous hair. It offers a means by which the individual can begin to get in touch with the healing potential within their inner being, and thus become empowered to ensure their own well being.

This is a popular treatment for those ladies who are fed up of using eyelash curlers, but love having curled lashes.  Small perm rollers are used to curl the  eyelashes, the same process as perming hair.

The eyelash curls will begin to drop gradually (one by one) after about two months. This does depend on how quickly you shed your eyelashes, generally we lose one a day. The entire lashes will take about another 2 months to return to their natural look. You can repeat the  procedure after 2-3 months and not have to wait until the entire lashes return to their natural look.

We include an eyelash tint to get maximum benefits from this treatment.

CACI Non-Surgical Face Lift

The CACI Non-surgical face lift treatment is completely safe and totally painless. There is over 20 years medical research behind it. The principle of the treatment is muscle re-education, stimulating the facial muscles to give an extraordinary lifting effect,  reminding the muscles of how they used to be. The treatment also effects the skin tissues, clients will find lines softened and skin tissues refined. The skin takes on a wonderful glow and has a firmer more supple appearance and feels incredibly smooth and toned. The treatment is as much preventative as corrective and is therefore suitable for all ages.  We use steam to prepare and hydrate the face which makes the treatment a lot more effective.  Also the buds used in the probes are drenched in anti-ageing solution which penetrates deeply into the skin feeding the underlying skin cells. 
A Course of 10 Treatments (2-3 per week)….£410

CACI Hydro… mini facial

Intensive hydrating facial treatment.  This uses soothing rollers to charge a CACI hydro mask and push the nourishing ingredients deep into the dermal tissues, plumping and rehydrating the cells to give a youthful glow and a boost to the fibroblast collagen producing cells. This treatment is best when used in conjunction with the CACI non-surgical face lift treatment.  But it is also extremely beneficial for those people short on time but wanting an effective facial with evident results in only half an hour.

CACI Ultra Deep Wrinkle Treatment

This treatment is ideal for those of you who find micro-dermabrasion too ‘intensive and uncomfortable’.  This treatment has a very relaxing peel which prepares the skin for the penetration of intensely moisturising products and the use of the ‘deep wrinkle comb’ which targets those deep unsightly wrinkles, it  stimulates the underlying skin cells causing them to plump up and diminish the appearance of the wrinkle.  Some people can still feel the tingle hours later !

Say goodbye to thread veins… instantly! As seen on GMTV

The most effective treatment available for thread veins.

Did you know that 55% of women aged 20 to 70 years are affected by facial thread veins? But it is not just women… our society is changing and more and more men are becoming conscious of their appearance. Thread veins on the nose are perfectly common amongst men and we can remove them in seconds! Our procedure using the Veinwave system will treat most facial red veins including those intra-nasal veins which have previously been untreatable, we can also treat red spots, skin tags and rosacea.
Thread veins are very small, rarely exceeding 0.3mm in diameter. This makes it virtually impossible for traditional treatment methods to be used to eliminate these unsightly blood vessels. The Veinwave system utilises a highly advanced technology that allows the treatment and instant elimination of these facial thread veins.

The system generates a high frequency current, the bi-product of which is an instantaneous heat energy. This intense heat is targeted at the treatment area by a single ultra fine insulated needle and it is the heat energy which coagulates the blood causing the vessel walls to collapse and disappear - a surgical technique known as thermo-coagulation.
“They immediately disappear and will not come back” says Dr Jean Luc Richard, a vascular specialist at the Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris. “There is no risk of complications. It is safe and quick. It’s a walk-in, walk-out treatment.

Unlike lasers, Ipl, LHE or electrolysis this treatment can be applied to any skin type or colour with no risk of scarring, burning or pigmentation.

Free consultations are offered for this treatment.

  Threading is a technique of removing hair practiced since time immemorial in the Middle East, South Asia and South-East Asia and now becoming popular in the West. Threading involves twisting a thread of pure cotton between the fingers and around rows of hair to pull them out of their roots.

Threading is most commonly used for eyebrow shaping; removing facial hair, like hair from upper and lower lips, chin, sideburns, space between eyebrows. Threading removes many hairs in one go, in contrast to tweezing or plucking, where hairs are removed one by one; so, it is a faster and less painful method of removing hair. For example, threading a set of eyebrows usually takes around 15 minutes and threading the upper lip takes around 5-7 minutes.

Threading is considered to be a more specialised way of removing hair, especially from the eyebrows, because it involves a technique of removing hair in their natural lines, thereby, giving a more chiselled effect and well-arched eyebrows.

Threading rarely causes harm to the skin and suits even people with sensitive skin. It is therefore, especially good for facial hair removal, where the skin is particularly sensitive. Threading is also often preferred over other hair removal methods like waxing, depilatory creams, bleaching etc. because they may not suit every skin type and methods like shaving should not be used. In this way, your skin is saved from the wrath of harmful chemicals and hot wax, and so, retains its glow and elasticity without falling victim to premature wrinkles as may occur after years of waxing.

Benefits of threading

Threading removes hair more completely and effectively than plucking as it is a very precise method and gives the smooth, neat and hair free look you’re after.

Re-growth -Threading causes new hair to grow finer and sparser, which is surely what everyone desires? Also, the hair free look lasts for 1-3 weeks depending on how fast your body hair grows.

Vitamin A use - Threading is one of the best options of hair removal for those using Vitamin A products like Isoretinoin, Retin A, etc. in which case waxing and many other methods of hair removal are not advisable.

How is Threading Done?

Threading is carried out using a fine, pure cotton thread, one end of which is held between the teeth, the other end in the left hand, and the remaining thread is used to make a loop between the index and middle fingers of the right hand and twisted around the unwanted hair to dislodge them from their follicles. Here at Papillon we have also been trained in using the thread just in our hands (cats cradle) or by having the thread round our neck.  This means that we can use a technique that is suitable for you.

Skin redness and mild irritation is common immediately after threading. Applying ice packs or cold compresses to the area greatly helps as does application of an aloe vera gel or a soothing lotion.

  For those of us who haven’t got the time to spend pampering ourselves at home but would like nice nails that won’t chip or break, then Bio Sculpture Gel or Calgel is the answer. You can come into the clinic with bitten, broken, uneven nails and leave with a gleaming set of natural looking nails. Gel is the kinder alternative to acrylic nail extensions. We do not use harsh chemicals or nasty drills, all tip blending is done by hand and before tips are adhered to the natural nail a layer of gel is applied to protect the nail. People who come to us with no nails generally start of by have tips and gel overlays, they then usually have one set of infills after two weeks, then two weeks later have the nails soaked off and just overlays on their now longer and stronger natural nails!

Bio Sculpture Gel and Calgel are nail treatments that strengthen and promote the growth of natural nails. Applied onto a prepared nail the products cure under a UVA light, leaving the nail strong but flexible with a natural glossy finish.

Advantages

• A treatment that strengthens & conditions natural nails
• Will not chip or smudge
• Will not wear away on finger & toe nails
• Quick and easy removal

Gel overlays on natural nails 

Nails are prepared, conditioned, and shaped. Cuticles are treated then gel is applied in a colour, clear or French manicure finish in several thin layers for Bio Sculpture gel and two layers for Calgel. Lastly a brilliant top coat is applied to protect the gel.

Tips and Gel overlays

Nails are prepared, conditioned and shaped, you do not need to have them all filed down really short!. Cuticles are treated then a protective layer of gel is applied before tips are sized, adhered and hand blended to the desired shape and length. Gel is then applied in several thin layers. Leaving you with a perfect set of natural looking nails!

I’m confused Bio Sculpture or Calgel!

We are fully trained in both systems, both systems are of comparable quality it is just that some people prefer the Bio Sculpture finish and some people prefer the Calgel finish. We advise our clients which would be more suitable for their nails and lifestyle.

Carried out by Registered Nurse Practitioner

Consultations are free with our fully qualified Registered Nurse Practitioner who has over 25 years of nursing experience and over 7 years of cosmetic procedures administration.

Muscle Relaxation Treatment (Botox)

Facial lines are caused by the repeated use of the facial muscles in a particular manner. Just as a freshly ironed shirt will crease when worn at the elbow, as a result of bending the arm, so likewise our facial lines form whenever we frown, squint or smile. Some people have a distinctive facial habit - frowning, raising eyebrows - and they will in time see a set of facial lines appear which reflect this individual habit.

This treatment is a preventative treatment. Injections are given, usually to the forehead ‘frown area’, which temporarily put the frown muscles to sleep for a period of 3-4 months. This freezing of the muscle is always temporary and can never be permanent. The aim is to break the habit of frowning, and educate the patient in his or her facial movement so that one ‘forgets’ how to frown. Usually patients have several of these injections over a year or two until the frowning habit is broken. While the muscle is temporarily immobilised, the frown lines are not being created or reinforced. Botox is most effective for wrinkles in the upper part of the face. The ideal area to treat is the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes.

The substance injected (a type of botulism toxin) has been used for many years as an accepted form of treatment for squints and nervous ticks. The substance cannot cause any permanent damage or travel within the body because it attaches itself to the muscle and cannot migrate from there. The injection technique that is used ensures that the substance cannot pass into the bloodstream. The action on the muscle is never permanent, that is why the treatments is called ‘The Hibernation Treatment’ as the patient’s frown is frozen into ‘hibernation’ for a few months.

Before & After

Dermal Fillers (Restylane injections)

As we grow older, more signs of aging become more evident on our faces. This is recognizable as wrinkles and folds, or nasolabial folds. There are various injectable cosmetic fillers available to help improve upon one’s facial appearance and achieve a more youthful look. These fillers add volume and smooth out wrinkles. Collagen and fat are some of the more common fillers. Restylane is a new form of injectable filler that provides advantages over fat and collagen injections. Restylane is a non-animal, biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in most of our bodies as it provides volume and fullness to the skin. Restylane has been proven to last longer than fat and collagen injections. It maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture. What results is a longer-lasting, youthful facial appearance.

Restylane can be used to either shape facial contours, smooth wrinkles, or sculpt lips. What results is a healthy, more youthful, and fuller appearance. This has grown in popularity. Since 1996, over a million individuals have received Restylane injections worldwide.
