AmazingLashes™ are a fresh new innovative approach to applying lashes. Semi-permanent lash extensions give longer, thicker, very natural looking lashes.

Soft, curved and flexible, they have a simulated lash root and tip just like natural lashes, and are applied to each lash individually. Wearers of these beautiful, defined lashes can look and feel Amazing, while leading a normal day to day life.

You can shower, exercise and even swim without worrying about them falling out.AmazingLashes™ not only create longer, thicker, exaggerated lashes, they naturally darken your own lashes omitting the need for the use of mascara.

AmazingLashes™ come in a full range of sizes, thicknesses and colours so can customise each personal requirement. They feel virtually weightless, so are extremely comfortable.AmazingLashes™ application carefully considers each client and performing the procedure is very relaxing and takes just 90 minutes to two hours for a full set.

AmazingLashes™ are created with you in mind, but like having nail extensions, do need to be in filled every two to three weeks to help maintain fullness. They will not cause natural lashes to fall out prematurely.

AmazingLashes™ are what they say they are and that’s Amazing, as they cause no damage to the natural lash. If you want them removed at any time, it is as easy as having them put on, however to avoid any damage to the natural lash it is recommended that a salon technician does so using Amazing lash remover.

Evolution Skin Studio Canterbury now offers Permanent Hair Reduction. Our method is practically painless and removes unwanted hair quickly and effectively. Many dream of a body free from embarrassing and unsightly hair. Attempts to realise this dream have led to a great deal of effort, not to mention suffering, in the use of razor blades, electric shavers or the more painful methods of tweezers, wax or needle electrolysis. And as a rule, all this energy is wasted as the hair soon grows back.

The effective Ellipse treatment is therefore sure to receive an enthusiastic welcome from all those with embarrassing body hair. Ellipse offers fast, safe and practically painless permanent hair reduction. Ellipse treatment is gentle and practically painless. The process uses light, which is absorbed by the pigment in the individual hairs. The pigment converts the light to heat, a process, which disables the ability of the hair follicle to continue growing. It does not hurt. The most discomfort experienced is a tingling sensation, which soon passes. The Ellipse system is developed and produced in Denmark.

The time taken depends on the size of the area being treated. A minor facial treatment, e.g. removal of upper lip hair, can be completed in about 10 minutes while an entire back or both legs can take one to two hours. Ellipse treatment only works on hair in the growth phases. This means that three to six sessions at intervals of a couple of months are required for optimal results.

To get the most out of the Ellipse treatment, other hair removal methods should be avoided for a month before sessions begin, as should tanning before and during the entire treatment scenario. There are virtually no side effects but the treated area is sensitive to sun and should be protected with a good sun block, at least factor 20, for the first few weeks following completed treatment.

In addition to Permanent Hair Reduction, the Ellipse system also performs, Facial Thread Vein Removal, Skin Rejuvenation (removal of sun damaged and pigmentation) and acne clearance treatment. For more information please call Evolution Skin Studio Canterbury 01227 764633.

I have seen a significant increase in the number of cosmetic operations I am doing on the female genital area,  including labiaplasty and fat injections.

It seems reasonably common across various age groups for women to have concerns about the appearance of their vulval area. This may be developmental variations in the size and symmetry of the labia minora, sometimes changes after pregnancy and childbirth, and sometimes age related loss of fullness of the outer area (labia majora). This leaves the inner area (labia minora and clitoral hood area more exposed and more visible.

A change in my practice over the past few years is the development of a system whereby I can to labiaplasty surgery under local anaesthetic, with very little discomfort at all during the injection and procedure itself. We are able to do this as an outpatient surgery, and this in turn makes the operation significantly cheaper.

There is a lot written about this operation on the internet, with good information and images.
