Hair restoration in North East England

NEW SURVEY FINDS EYEBROW, EYELASH AND FACIAL HAIR RESTORATION SURGERY INCREASED 14 PERCENT

Dr. Ashish Dutta) hair restoration physician credits natural looking, permanent results for growth in non-traditional procedures

While many people turn to cosmetics to fill in thinning eyebrows or enhance their less-than-lush eyelashes, this daily ritual is time consuming and only a temporary fix for hair loss that has occurred in these areas. But now, hair restoration surgeons are skillfully using hair restoration procedures to replace hair loss on more than just the scalp.

According to statistics released from a recent member survey conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) – the world’s leading medical authority on hair loss and hair restoration – 92.8 percent of hair transplant procedures performed worldwide in 2010 targeted the scalp area and 7.2 percent of procedures targeted non-scalp areas of the body – including the eyebrow (4.4 percent), face/moustache/beard (1.5 percent) and eyelash (0.6 percent) areas.

From 2008 to 2010, hair restoration procedures performed on the eyelash, eyebrow and face increased 14.2 percent.

“Whether people experience hair loss in areas of the body other than the scalp due to genetics or an accident or injury, the common thread is that any type of hair loss can cause people to feel self-conscious about their appearance and can even impact their personal and professional lives,” said Dr. Ashish Dutta of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre. “Thanks to continual advances in hair restoration surgery, hair loss can be corrected on almost any area of the body.”

In the case of eyebrow hair restoration surgery, tiny single follicular units typically from a donor area at the back of a patient’s head are transplanted to the eyebrow area in one outpatient procedure. Dr. Dutta noted that donor hair is selected based on whether the hair has the appropriate texture and orientation to serve as eyebrow hair when transplanted. The transplanted hair grows slowly over the course of several months and will continually grow over time, requiring the eyebrows to be trimmed regularly.

Dr. Dutta noted that while non-scalp hair restoration is a good option for most patients with hair loss, patients should consult a hair restoration physician to discuss whether a certain procedure is right for them.

Suspicious moles

Over the past decade with mounting evidence of skin cancer almost epidemic, the medical community and the public have responded by removing untold suspicious moles in an attempt to arrest the development of malignant melanoma. However, the increasing incidence and death from the disease continues, with more and more moles recommended for removal.

A few published facts in the peer-reviewed medical literature include the average dermatologist evaluation in successfully identifying moles that were converting to malignant melanoma has been 1 out of 18 cases. With dermoscopy (a tool to clinically improve detection) the successful identification of such moles was 1 out of 4.

The statistics become far worse for non-dermatologists. In other words, dermatologists are batting 0.050 in correctly identifying these moles clinically. Whole body examinations, by identifying mole patterns, reveal between 72-94% of moles depending on age to be consistent in a given individual and not indicative of cancer. Patients under 50 who’ve developed moles were diagnosed with less than 1% of their lesions as malignant melanoma where as patients older than 50 years of age had a 30% incidence of melanoma in new lesions.

This makes it difficult for the patient to decide what to do. Faced with a changing mole or lesion, first seek a dermatologist for evaluation since their understanding far exceeds other specialists. Find a dermatologist, with known expertise in melanoma. Full body exams are also necessary to evaluate changing. Try to obtain a second opinion before letting someone take a scalpel to your body because a “lesion” is suspicious.

It’s also worth remembering most “dysplastic nevi” will never become malignant. The art of evaluating the degree of dysplasia requires intelligence and experience.

The marriage of art and science in health care requires the good services of the physician as well patients taking

responsibility for their own welfare. For more information please call Doctor Ash Dutta at the Aesthetic Beauty Centre

Botox North East

A new treatment with the catchy title of Foot-Fillers, is causing a stir amongst female city executives, as ladies turn to Botox to help with the strenuous Christmas calendar of office parties over the festive season.

The treatment involves injecting Botox into the feet to help diminish the pain related to wearing high heels. Women now prefer to use Botox to plump out the balls of their feet, hence the term ‘Foot-Fillers’. Dr Ashish Dutta of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre said, “It’s common towards the run up to Christmas to see an increased demand in appointments for Botox. Now we’re seeing female patients requesting their painful feet to be treated. However, we do let patients know that the results are only short term due to the high impact the feet suffer and that they should think very seriously before making any commitment.

It’s also interesting to read that despite many company cutbacks, office party bookings will total up to £473 million over this Christmas alone.

Cosmetic Treatments in Newcastle and Sunderland

Take a virtual tour of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre with Doctor Ashish Dutta.

Aesthetic Beauty Centre

We’ve just completed a set of short movies covering treatments available at the Aesthetic Beauty Centre in Newcastle and Sunderland. The first is a short introduction by Dr. Ashish Dutta.

ReCell in Newcastle and Sunderland

A new study approved by the FDA is currently underway in the USA attempting to investigate the feasibility for the use of ReCell in the treatment of hypertrophic dyspigmented scars. Twenty patients with scars will be assessed for healing and pain on a weekly basis during a four-week period, followed by 12 and 24 weeks. The study is designed to assess the use of ReCell for the treatment of existing scars in a single treatment.

Dr Dutta of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre said, “Although ReCell has been available in the North East, at the Aesthetic Beauty Centre for quite some time, many people are still unaware how ReCell can treat conditions such as Vitiligo, skin affected by sun damage, or Hypopigmentation, scars and grade III or IV acne scarring. ReCell allows us to collect skin cells from the patient’s own skin, which can then be sprayed onto the area needing treatment. The cells multiply, spreading throughout the skin resulting in faster healing and improving skin texture and colour pigmentation.”

Dr Dutta finished by saying; “ Results are dependent on the reason for treatment along with the severity of the condition and nature of the body to recuperate. It’s also normal for the pigmentation to take some time to reach its optimum state.”

UK obesity report

A recent report reveled one-third of adults in England are projected to be obese by 2012, according to a report published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

In men, the prevalence of obesity between 1993 and 2004 nearly doubled (from 13.6 percent to 24 percent), while prevalence in women increased from 16.9 percent to 24.4 percent during the same period. Dr Dutta of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre commented, ‘Even though a number of weight loss procedures are available at the Aesthetic Beauty Centre including: BIB, SmrtLipo, Vaser Liposelction, BodyTite, Laser Lipoysis and Liposculpture, with the prevalence of such obesity expected to increase in the near future, it’s vital we promote the management and prevention of obesity, and also try to remove the social class inequalities in health’.

Dr Dutta has recently been appointed to the board of ESAS (The European Standard for Aesthetic Surgeons) and also TC403 for Aesthetic Surgery Services Committee of the European Commission (CEN). The committee is responsible for United Kingdom’s input into (CEN TC403) the aim of the TC403 is to standardize the quality of aesthetic surgery across Europe.

‘Brazilian Butt Lift’ arrives in the North East.

Bottoms Up

Bottom curves are back in fashion as the ‘Brazilian Butt Lift’ arrives in the North East. Bottom sculpting has been around for many years in the USA with women seeking those voluptuous curves of Beyonce and J-Lo.

Previously ladies with flat buttocks had no choice other than implants to add volume to the buttocks.

However, a new procedure now available in the North East of England known as ‘Tumescent Liposuction, gently removes the patient's own fat from the mid section reducing unwanted fat from the abdomen and hips. The fat is carefully transffered using very fine needles to the buttocks enhancing its proportion and shape.

Dr. Ashish Dutta of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre who now performs the ‘Brazilian Butt Lift’ at his clinics in Newcastle and Sunderland began by saying, “The area just above the buttocks is carved out to create an arch effect, these curves along with a notable waist-hip difference is an attractive and much sought after shape. Plus, the results are more natural looking than implants because we use the patients own fat. It can also help improve the appearance of the skin and cellulite.”

With minimal downtime and less pain and scarring than traditional implants, it looks as though the Brazilian Butt Lift will be well at home with ladies of the North East.

“It’s already proving very popular”, added Dr Ash Dutta. And we fully expect it to be become one of our most popular cosmetic treatments with equiries already arriving at our clinic from throughout the UK.

Botox in Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland

Recent research now suggests patients receiving Botox treatments can reduce wrinkles with half as many sessions after 20 months.

The research, sought to determine whether less frequent Botox treatments could provide longer-lasting reduction of glabellar rhytids. The study included 50 women ages 30 to 50 who received regular Botox injections for two years.

The frequency of treatments can be changed for patients who receive Botox Cosmetic injections every four months for two years, to six months with comparable wrinkle-reducing results and high patient satisfaction.

While a treatment schedule of every three months is likely to achieve the best results in the least amount of time, the study concluded that other schedules offer similar results at less cost.

Dr. Ashish Dutta of the Aesthetic Beauty Centre, the leading cosmetic centre in Newcastle and Sunderland for Botox treatment said, ‘The study also shows injections have a prophylactic effect, patients who started receiving Botox in their 30s and 50s are able to prevent dynamic wrinkles from forming and eliminate existing wrinkles.
