Ramsay are able to provide a number of cosmetic enhancing procedures that do not involve any incisions, surgery or general anaesthetics. Typically these procedures are provided to those customers who do not wish to consider surgery as an option or whose facial appearance issues do not yet justify surgical intervention. Prospective customers are advised to contact their local hospital unit in order to discuss the local non-surgical treatments facilities on offer at each hospital.
Non-surgical treatments will generally cover the following procedures:
Spider veins, also known as thread veins, are small, twisted blood vessels that appear in a spiderweb pattern through your skin often on your legs or face. They are similar to varicose veins but smaller and caused in the same way when a one-way valve in your vein, that help your blood flow back to your heart, stops working properly and your vein swells as blood flows the wrong way.
Facial spider veins, also known as thread veins, or the medical term facial telangiectasia, are found in the skin on the nose and cheek, and are small blood vessels typically measuring less than 1 mm. They are very common, but can be unsightly and disfiguring.
A rhinoplasty (or ‘nose job’) is a cosmetic operation to improve the appearance of your nose.
