Many of our patients do not have private medical insurance and will know how much they are prepared to pay, or what they can  afford,  to have their procedure carried out in a private hospital.

It is worrying that you may find additional costs for consultation, blood tests, Xrays, drugs etc so we have put together some packages for which most quotes are requested.

These procedures are also those for which the referral criteria has been changed by the NHS and  where there are now more limitations to treatment. They include, hip and knee replacements, hernia repairs and cataracts.

If you make enquiries at other private hospitals you will find that our prices are very competitive and include elements of the process that are very often excluded.

 Please telephone 01843 234555 for more details.

With over a decade of success around the world, the microdermabrasion procedure has been used to treat millions of satisfied people.

The benefits of microdermabrasion include:

• Less pain or discomfort
• Minimal risk
• Suitable for all skin types
• No anaesthesia required
• No recovery time

Because the microdermabrasion procedure is performed under the supervision of a certified professional, patients can be confident they will be treated with the utmost care.

How it works

DERMA GENESIS® Medical Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead, outermost layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.

Microdermabrasion is commonly used to treat and diminish:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Sun Damaged Skin
• Acne Prone Skin
• Blackheads and Whiteheads
• Superficial Age Spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Oily Skin
• Dry or Patchy Skin

The procedure is performed by using a hand piece that the operator passes over the skin. This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin.  At the same time the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion and the vacuum. This promotes new collagen which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effects of ageing.

Before and after

The microdermabrasion procedure takes approximately thirty minutes, depending upon the skin condition, the area to be treated, and the desired outcome. Mild redness may occur for 30 mins to half a day after the Microdermabrasion procedure, depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment. There are no side-effects to this treatment and no recovery time is required. Many will notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment but optimum results are obtained through a series of treatments, typically four to eight treatments, spaced seven to 14 days apart. Significant results should be seen in four to five weeks. The long-term benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable.

The result is a glowing, smooth, even and bright complexion. It is equally an ideal treatment to help you look fantastic for a special occasion or, more seriously, to treat unsightly skin blemishes and acne scarring.

Suitable for Most Skin Types

Medical microdermabrasion is a safe, non-surgical resurfacing procedure performed by a certified professional. It is an ideal treatment for young or old, male or female and for most skin types. Although mainly used on the facial area it may also be performed on the chest, back, shoulders or other areas as required. Medical microdermabrasion is an effective skin rejuvenation procedure that requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. The procedure is extremely popular because it is painless yet effective with minimal redness, swelling or irritation.

The DERMA GENESIS® medical microdermabrasion systems lead the world in providing the most effective treatments. Continuous product development ensures that your medical microdermabrasion treatment will not only be comfortable and enjoyable but achieve the best possible results.

What are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are swollen and enlarged veins which are usually a blue or dark purple. They may also be lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance.

Varicose veins develop when the small valves inside the veins stop working properly. In a healthy vein, blood flows smoothly to the heart, and is prevented from flowing backwards by a series of tiny valves, which open and close to let blood through. If these valves weaken or are damaged, the blood can flow backwards and can collect in the vein, eventually causing it to be varicose.

Varicose veins are common

Varicose veins are a very common condition. Women tend to be more affected than men, with approximately 30% of women developing varicose veins in their lifetime, compared to 15% of men.

Any vein in your body can become varicose (swollen and enlarged), but they most commonly develop in the legs and feet. The calves are most commonly affected. This is because standing and walking puts extra pressure on the veins in the lower body.

Varicose veins are not usually serious

For most people varicose veins do not present serious health problems. They may appear unsightly, but they should not affect your circulation or cause any long-term health problems. Varicose veins rarely cause complications.

Most will not require any treatment

For some people varicose veins can cause aching, swollen and painful legs. In rare cases, they can also cause complications, such as skin discolouration and leg ulcers. If your varicose veins are causing you significant discomfort, or you have developed complications, you are more likely to require treatment.
