Skin Reactions and Dracula PRP Therapy

Last year I decided to freshen up my tired Skin by doing a superficial Skin Peel. I'd done a Medium TCA Chemical Peel a few months previous, so I just needed to deeply exfoliate and remove the Dead Skin Cells that had built up as well as giving my Skin a Healthy Glow.

I'd used this Skin Peel several times on friends, family and patients and never had a problem. I did the Skin Peel and shortly afterwards noticed that I was red and the treated areas were getting itchy. I'd applied a Medical Barrier Cream to the areas to help soothe and calm the Skin but by morning I was so red and itchy with bumps under the Skin.

I called the company to check if there had previously been any adverse reactions and was told there wasn't so, it was just me! I had also done the same Skin Peel on my mother at the same time I did mine and she was fine so, definitely just me!

I was advised to apply Petroleum Jelly aka Vaseline to my Skin which I did but it made it worse! At this point my Skin was getting worse and burning - I looked like I'd had some serious Laser treatment and was burnt! It was steroid time but not before I did a Dracula PRP Therapy treatment on myself!

I managed to take my own blood which for me I thought was going to be tricky as my best veins are in my right arm and I'm right handed but I managed it no bother :) This has got to be a huge achievement for me! lol

After I spun my blood and separated my Plasma, I smothered my face in it...I had no problem injecting it but I thought it would only aggravate it especially as I was injecting myself and my face felt so tight and hot!

The results were amazing. Straight away it eased the itchiness and by the next day the redness and bumps had reduced significantly. The power of the Stem Cell...

The top picture is me with the red lumpy bumpy itchy skin...The middle picture is me straight after applying Dracula PRP Therapy and the last picture is me a few days after where my Skin has fully healed.

Dracula PRP Therapy is an amazing treatment that is 100% Safe & Natural and is exclusive at the Claudia McGloin Clinic.

Patient Safety Awareness Week 8-14 March 2015

It's Patient Safety Awareness Week from the 8th - 14th March 2015.

Patient Safety isn't just limited to Public Health, it also encompasses Private Health Care as well.

The best advice that can be given is to RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH and never proceed with a procedure if you are 100% happy.

Get your Veins treated correctly from the beginning!

GP's are still telling their patients that Thread Veins are only Cosmetic and nothing to worry about. This is so NOT true!

FACT: - 9 out of 10 people with Thread Veins will have an underlying reflux and will need treatment for Varicose Veins! Remember that not all Varicose Veins are visible on the skin!

Everyone needs to have a Doppler and a consultation with a Medical Professional with Vascular experience before proceeding with any treatment on your Thread Veins.

Getting it right from the beginning will save you time and money!

Thankfully in Ireland, The Vein Clinic Ireland which is a sister clinic to the Claudia McGloin Clinic is dedicated and specialises in Veins!

ACE - Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition 2015

We had a great time at the Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition 2015 which was held at the Business Design Centre in Islington in London on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th March.

It was lovely to meet up with old colleagues and to meet new ones as well chat to distributors about new skin care products and treatments.

We also learned some valuable techniques for injecting Dermal Fillers courtesy of Dr Swift, a Plastic Surgeon from Canada. We were fortunate to attend a 3 hour Injectable Masterclass & the launch of Boletero Volume from Mertz.

We cannot wait to implement everything we've learned at the weekend :)

Roll on ACE 2016!!!

Sligo Champion Customer Appreciation Evening

We were absolutely delighted to be invited by The Sligo Champion to their Customer Appreciation Evening on Thursday at The View Bar in The Glasshouse Hotel in Sligo.

Since the clinic was opened in December 2011, we have done all of our advertising with them. The Sligo Champion newspaper was the paper that I grew up with and even when I moved to the UK 18 years ago, my mum would send the paper over to me on a weekly basis! I felt like I wasn't missing out on anything from back home :)

The event was a great informal evening with lots of networking. We were greeted with prosecco and canapes on arrival and there was lots of spot prizes as well.

The weather was really bad that evening but it was lovely to catch up with fellow businessmen/women and relax with amazing views of Sligo from The View Bar.

We had a great time and look forward to many more networking events in 2015.
