Dr Kuldeep Minocha from Urban Spa in Essex appears on the MyFaceMyBody TV Show
I’m here with Dr. Minocha from the Urban Spa in Essex, and we’re also lucky enough to have Tyler, one of his patients. Now, what are the typical you see coming to you in Essex?
So typically in Essex we see a whole range of patients, patients who are essentially concerned about age related skin changes which manifest itself in terms of volume loss, for which we have a variety of dermal fillers. We should be able to replace volume with minimal sort of down time with a procedure that takes only 45 minutes.
Now as you know, through a lot of these television shows that Essex has been featured a lot.
Indeed.
Now has that, have you seen an influx in the amount of patients you’re seeing? Are they younger?
Absolutely . I mean people are much happier, much more comfortable talking about the sort of treatments, especially among friends in Essex, which has led to a huge influx in treatments being requested.
So when you look at the mirror today Tara, where are your eyes drawn to? What area concerns you?
I think at the moment it’s these sort of nose to mouth lines here. I think they could do with being slightly sort of smoothed out, slightly, I think that kind of make aging me slightly here.
Okay, so once again it’s a very common area. I’ll take that from you. It’s a very common area to have treated, what’s known as the nasal, labial lines and folds and what we can treat this with a dermal filler, which will have an immediate effect of softening the area, making the mouth look less sort of drawn and tired.
So Tara also mentions that she goes to the gym a lot and obviously that can cause when you’re exercising a loss of…
Absolutely.
So, so…
Absolutely.
You have to compensate it with something.
Absolutely. Absolute conundrum for women, I’m afraid. It’s a tough life. Because they’ll go to the gym and they wonder how much size 8, size 10 bodies, which is fantastic, but unfortunately the downside is that you also do lose volume on the face, which now can be replaced. Great, okay. Well let’s get started.
Okay.
Looking forward to seeing the results.
So what we’re gonna be doing today is using a cannula technique, which essentially is a blunt-edged instrument. Traditionally, one would inject a filler with a needle. A needle obviously being sharp traumatizes the tissue, which increases the risk of bruising, swelling, redness, and pain. Okay? With a blunt instrument, this merely glides through the tissues and is essentially a painless procedure with immediately results.
Hence it’s popularity. Okay, so we’ve just completed one side, which I think actually looks very nice. It’s very soft, very natural. Please, have a look in the mirror. See what you think.
Oh, wow. Yeah, it’s completely really smoothed the area over. Hasn’t it?
Yeah. Okay, we’re going to now do the other side for you can’t let you go home with just one side done. Okay. I think the art is to be quite subtle, less is more really, in this case. Often, unfortunately, you see in celebrities and the media things have been overdone and you actually start changing the way somebody looks.
I think the art actually is to maintain your face shape, but just to rejuvenate it.
Yep. Great. So great for a lunchtime procedure?
Absolutely. Zero downtime.
Great. And you’re happy, happy?
I am absolutely delighted. I just feel I look fresh, but I still look like myself.
And that’s important.
I haven’t changed in any way.
And you are going to be going out tonight?
I most certainly am.
