Hello everyone, my name is Rachel Cooper and I have recently started doing some sessions at the clinic.
 
Just to introduce myself briefly, I have been qualified as a nurse for almost 20yrs where I have mainly worked in the critical care sector and still do on a part time basis. 

Further to this i qualified in aesthetics and have now started my own business 'FACEFIRST' offering a range of treatments using facial muscle relaxing injections and temporary facial Dermal fillers.

The botox relaxes the muscles injected and stops them from creasing up the skin on movement which gives a smoother looking appearance. It last approx 3-4 months.

The dermal fillers I use are temporary and made of hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in the body in abundance. Unfortunately as we age that abundance reduces and causes the tired, sometimes saggy appearance to the skin.
Hyaluronic acid plumps and refreshes those tired areas giving a fuller more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers last for anything from 6-9 months and sometimes longer.
 
I will be doing an advanced training course in a couple of months to enable me to be able to treat clients with Hyperhidrosis (perfuse sweating) and to be able to help balance the uneven appearance of Bells Palsy for instance.
I also intend to be qualified in Facial glycolic peels by the end of the year.
 
Recent research for the use of Botulinum Toxin A is also said to be having a positive effect on people suffering from migraines and depression.  Although this is in the early stages of research it is proving to be on a positive note.
 
I hope this has given you a little insight into who I am and what I do. If anyone has any questions I would love to hear from you.
Rachel Cooper
