It’s Exercise Right Week!

Exercise has many beneficial impacts on the body from overall health and well being to the prevention of chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

It’s so common to hear ‘I don’t have time for exercise’ but it doesn’t have to start with anything strenuous!

There are many exercises you can do at work, such as going for regular walks, stretching out your arms and legs and eating your lunch away from your desk. Research has shown that with 30 minutes of exercise or activity on most days of the week, the risk of chronic health problems are reduced.

So what are you waiting for, get up and take a walk!

Take care and stay healthy 😊

RAMADAN

Ramadan (/ˌræməˈdɑːn/; Arabic: رمضان‎ Ramaḍān is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (Sawm) to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad according to Islamic belief. This annual observance is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month lasts 29–30 days based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon, according to numerous biographical accounts compiled in the hadiths.

FASTING

Fasting is the willing abstinence or reduction from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. An absolute fast or dry fasting is normally defined as abstinence from all food and liquid for a defined period.

Today is World Lupus Day.

Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body including the skin, joints and organs.

What is an autoimmune disease?

Normally, in our bodies our immune system protects us from bacteria and viruses by producing special proteins to fight these off. In a person who suffers from an autoimmune disease, the immune system isn’t able to tell the difference between a foreign invader and the body’s healthy tissue which can cause inflammation.

At least 5 million people are thought to be affected world wide.

Lupus commonly affects women of child bearing age but can also affect children and men.

Lupus can cause a number of symptoms ranging from a facial rash to debilitating fatigue to joint pain. A common myth is that Lupus is contagious and is similar to HIV. This is not the case at all and often understanding of this complex disease is quite limited.

Diagnosis can sometimes be difficult due to the intermittent nature of symptoms. It is best diagnosed with a number of different medical professionals including the General Practitioner.

There is no current cure for Lupus, however it can be managed successfully with treatment. Treatment is aimed at reducing symptoms and preventing long term organ damage.

World Lupus Day aims to promote the impact that Lupus has on people and in turn bring more resources to end the suffering from this disease.

If you are concerned about Lupus or have any further questions, feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.

Take care and stay healthy 😊

Lip Filler Treatment for “Perfect” Kim Kardashian Inspired Lips

What a fantastic result, as you can see 1ml can go a long way. Comparing the before and after photos, you can see an increase in size to the upper lip. Which helps our lovely patient get that desirable Phi ratio of 1:1.6 - otherwise known as Da Vinci or “Perfect” lips. This effect is often seen in celebrities such as KK.

In order to maintain definition - the filler is deposited along the vermilion border of the lips using the linear threading technique - which is one of the more comfortable methods of injection.

Unlike other cosmetic procedures such as anti-wrinkle treatment, the effects of fillers can be seen instantly, with the full result settling over the next 2 weeks and lasting around 6-9 months.

Oblique injections can be used to accentuate your beautiful cupid’s bow.

Multiple injections can make the needle blunt and more uncomfortable, to avoid this half way through the procedure the needle is changed.

Regularly throughout the procedure the lips are cleansed with antiseptic solution to reduce the chances of infection.

Filler is also placed along the wet and dry border of the lower lip for maximum volumisation.

For poutier results, a technique called tenting is used to roll out the lip.

To ensure patient satisfaction and symmetry, the lips are assessed regularly.

At the end of the treatment, the lips are cleansed with antiseptic cream and molded into shape.

This video was taken with the patient’s consent.

Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
