Boost your Skin with Restylane Skinboosters

You can't go back in time but your Skin can. 

Inevitably, our Skin quality will deteriorate over time. Our ways, our habits, our genes and even the weather are all factors that influence the state of our Skin. For some the impact is major, for others it's less so but for all of us the change is or will be apparent. Restylane Skinboosters consisting of Restylane Vital products are a way of naturally revitalising the Skin making you look the age you feel. 


It may sound like magic but we call it science. 
Over time, the quality of your Skin changes - Collagen and Elastic Fibres disintegrate and the spread and function of the body's own Hyaluronic Acid changes, making your Skin Drier, Rougher and less Elastic. While beauty products and treatments pamper your Skin on the surface to treat these symptoms, Restylane Skinboosters restore from within. They create luminous Skin in a natural way by gently and naturally smoothing the Skin from the inside. By adding Hyaluronic Acid through injections under the Skin surface, Restylane Skinboosters restore the Hydro Balance and improves the Structure, Firmness and Elasticity of the Skin giving it new energy. 

Restylane Skinboosters can be used to not only improve the general Skin quality of your Face but also to improve exposed and sensitive areas such as your Neck, Décolletage and Hands as well as areas with Acne Scarred Skin. Restylane Skinboosters can also be used proactively which makes them a suitable beauty treatment even for those not yet experiencing the full effects if Ageing Skin. 

A Restylane Skinboosters treatment is more about care than correction and the results are visible without changing the shape of your Face. Clinical studies demonstrate that Restylane Skinboosters significantly Increase Skin Elasticity and Improve Skin structure. Thinner, Fragile Skin also becomes Thicker and Firmer to better withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. 

Restylane Skinboosters are not Surgical and they are not Toxins. They are a Natural Beauty method to Restore and Maintain your Skins Quality and Lustre. 


The Restylane Skinboosters treatment: Three simple steps to that Elevating Glow. 
Unlike Wrinkle Correction Treatment with Restylane, Restylane Skinboosters is a process in which the Skin quality is gradually built up through injections of multiple micro deposits of long lasting Hyaluronic Acid just under the Skin. Though many of the beneficial effects can be seen after one treatment, three 'start-up' sessions, two to four weeks apart are necessary to give full results. Thereafter regular maintenance treatments about two to three times a year should be scheduled to prolong the Revitalising effect. 

There are different types of Restylane Skinboosters products and your Trained Medical Practitioner will decide which one you need depending on the condition of your Skin and the Skin area to be treated. The Restylane Skinboosters product range is now available with Lidocaine providing pain relief. 


Since seeing is believing: Results of Restylane Skinboosters Treatments are below:

Consultations at the Claudia McGloin Clinic

The Claudia McGloin Clinic in keeping up to date with Patient Safety, Best Practice, Legal and Ethical issues ensures that every Patient/Client who attends the Claudia McGloin Clinic will have a Face to Face Consultation prior to any treatment. This is a necessity as the clinic is a Medical Aesthetic Clinic.

Consultations are required to ensure that the Patient/Client is fully informed about the treatment that they are looking to have so that they can make an informed Consent. From a Medical point a Consultation is vital to ensure that the Patient/Client is suitable for the treatment and that it is Safe to proceed.

Even Patients/Clients looking to have Skin Care need to have a Consultation to ensure that the correct products are Prescribed for their Skin Type and Skin Condition.

Some of the Procedures at the clinic will require a 'Skin Test' and this will be done prior to the treatment being carried out to ensure that there are no allergic or adverse reactions from the products used.

Following a Consultation at the clinic, a second appointment will be made for treatment which will be carried out on a different day. This gives the Patient/Client a chance to go over the information and leaflets given at the Consultation and also gives time to ask further questions and to do their research into the treatment they are to have.

Consultations costs €30 and are carried out by an Experienced Medical Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner.

Silk Pillow Cases for Anti-Ageing

The latest craze in Anti-Ageing and adored by celebs is Silk Pillow Cases! Not just for its soft and luxurious feel but it has been widely documented that sleeping on a Silk Pillow Case can help prevent Lines & Wrinkles and allow the Skin to Breathe better while you sleep!

There are so many Silk Pillow Cases on the market claiming that their brand is the best and that the SILK is Absolutely Fabulous so, I bought one just to try it out. I'm curious to see if it really does make a difference and if it will help with the Sleep Lines I frequently wake up to.

Anyway, the brand I bought claimed that I will Wake up Beautiful so, why wouldn't I give it a go? :)

It lists the following on the packaging! SILK:-

* Hypoallergenic - Highly beneficial for people with Sensitive Skin

* Banishes Hair Frizz - The proteins in Silk help Prevent 'BED HAIR', Frizz and Split Ends

* Anti-Ageing - Skin will Breathe easier and lose less Moisture against Silk. Wrinkles will appear Smoother with less creases

* Promotes A Good Night's Sleep - Silk is also known to help calm the Nervous System prompting a good night's sleep

So, is this a FACT or another FAD??

Well, having tried it for the first time last night, I can safely say that (A) I didn't sleep very well and (B) I didn't notice any difference with my 'BED HAIR' however, I did notice that I didn't have very many Sleep Lines on my face! I am not sure if this is due to the fact that I tossed and turned all night long and didn't stay in any one position long enough for the Sleep Lines to develop or the fact that I slept (when I did) on my back!

I will try it again tonight just to see what happens but at the moment the jury is still out on this one as to whether I would actively promote a Silk Pillow Case to my patients and clients for Anti-Ageing. After all, they are expensive and if they don't work then there is no point wasting money when you could just as easily buy a good Medical Skin Care Product that will have an effect on the Skin!

Must have Nail Varnish Remover!!!

I am a sucker for beauty products just like the next person and I love trying them out just to see if they do exactly what they say on the tin!!! Some products I love while others I think are crap but this month I have discovered Nails Inc Express Nail Varnish and I think it is absolutely AMAZING!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Nails Inc and have enough varnishes and accessories to open up my own store!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Nail Varnish purely because I am not great at painting my own nails but with this product it seems to sort itself out neatly once painted on the nail!!! AND if I smudge it, I have a Nails Inc Corrector Pen to rectify the situation once the nails are dry!!!

Being a nurse and having to wash my hands endlessly and use alcohol gel, my varnish can chip. While at times I can repaint and fix it there are times when I just need to redo my nails and this always seems to be when I am on the go and haven't got the time.

I found Nails Inc Express Varnish was the product for me as I can use it discreetly on a train, on a plane or in the clinic. It doesn't smell like other acetone's do and better still it isn't a liquid!!! All you do is dip your finger into the sponge and hey presto the varnish is gone!!! Does it work on heavy varnishes I hear you say??? YES, I have tried it on my nails that have had 6 coats of varnish and in a matter of seconds the varnish was gone!!!

You can also repaint your nails immediately after removing so, go on give it a try. You won't be disappointed!!!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS as it is more commonly known is a condition of the Digestive System. It can cause bouts of Stomach Cramps, Bloating, Diarrhoea and Constipation. While Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common condition that affects both men and women, it can also be misdiagnosed!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome can affect anyone but usually symptoms are noticed between the ages of 20-30. People who suffer with Irritable Bowel Syndrome can experience these symptoms in bouts which are often during times of stress and after eating certain foods.

One major characteristic of Irritable Bowel Syndrome is fluctuating transit time. This is when food travels too quickly through the Digestive System. The undigested food particles can irritate the gut causing it to empty suddenly. Irritable Bowel Syndrome can also co-exist with Premenstrual Syndrome and has also been associated with Fibromyalgia.

What causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

* The exact cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome is unknown but it has been linked to a sensitivity of the gut.

* There are however several triggers that can exacerbate the condition. Some of these are:

·         * Stress

·         * Intestinal Parasites

·         * Poor Digestion

·         * Food Sensitivity or Food Intolerance

·         * Feeling Emotionally Low

·         * Being Physically Run Down

·         * Bowel Infection

·         * Candida

·         * Disorders of the Nervous System

·         * Drug Side Effects

·         * Gynaecological Problems

·         * Inadequate Digestive Enzymes

·         * Nutrient Deficiencies

·         * Poor Diet

·         * Surgery

The Intestine is connected to the Brain. Signals go back and forth between the Bowel and Brain. These signals affect bowel function and symptoms. The nerves can become more active during stress causing the intestines to be more sensitive and contract more.

Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

The symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome can vary from person to person but most people will experience Diarrhoea, Constipation or both. The symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome tend to be worse after eating and tend to come and go in bouts. Many people will have a flare up of their symptoms which can last from 1 day up to 4 days.

The most common symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are:

·         * Abdominal Pain and Cramping – which can be relieved following a bowel movement

·         * A change in bowel habit - such as Diarrhoea, Constipation or Both

·         * Bloating and Swelling of the Abdomen

·         * Excessive Wind (Flatulence)

·        *  An urgent need to go to the toilet

·         * A feeling that you need to open your bowels even if you have just been to the toilet

·         * A feeling you have not fully emptied your bowels

·         * Passing mucus from your back passage (bottom)

Due to the embarrassment, pain and discomfort of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, many people with the condition also have feelings of Depression and Anxiety.

Diagnosing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

There are no specific tests for Irritable Bowel Syndrome because it does not cause any obvious detectable abnormalities in your Digestive System. If you have the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome your GP will not always need to order blood tests to help diagnose you. However, in some cases they may recommend blood tests to rule out other conditions that cause similar symptoms such as an Infection or Coeliac Disease (a stomach condition caused by Gluten Intolerance).

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is usually diagnosed by carrying out a physical examination and checking whether your symptoms match those typical of the condition.

Treatment for irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

The symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can often be reduced by changing your diet and lifestyle. In some cases, medication or psychological treatments may also be helpful.

Colonic Hydrotherapy Treatments are also very good for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. They can also be combined with a Colonic Enema which has been tailored for the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome to help calm the Colon and reduce the spasms.

The Claudia McGloin Clinic have treated several people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome both in the UK and Ireland with excellent results.

Claudia’s tips for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):

·         

*         * Change your diet

·         * Keep a food diary
