NeoGen for eyes, if you live in Chesham

Chesham is a short drive to me when the weather is kind, up over the hill and down into The Lee. A lot of you have already decided the thing you mind is the eyes. The lid feels heavier. Mascara prints by lunchtime. Concealer creases. You do not want a knife. NeoGen for the upper and lower eyes starts at £350 at Emmanuel Hall, Swan Bottom.

What I am treating

Skin. Crepey under-eyes, a lid that has started to sit on the lashes, crow's feet that are now texture rather than a smile. Nitrogen plasma is passed across the area. It is not a plasma pen and it is not surgery. It will not remove a fat pad, and it will not open a deeply hooded eye the way an operation can. If I look at you and the problem is structure, I will say so before you spend the money.

Eyes swell. On day two or three you can look as if you have been crying, or a bit battered in a photograph. That is the moment people nearly cancel their week. I will have told you. Plan the school run in Chesham with sunglasses and no mascara. Eyeliner waits until I say the skin is ready. Most of the obvious part is gone within 3 to 10 days. A stronger setting can linger into the second week. Do not book it the week of a play, a party, or a run of early trains.

If the eyes are not the only thing

A face starts at £750 because it is more skin and more time. A neck is from £450. I will not add them because you have made the drive. If the eyes are the photograph you dislike, we do the eyes and we look again months later, when the collagen has had a chance to show itself. You go home with AllSkin Med and you wear factor 50. Heliocare is the one I trust you will actually put near your eyes, carefully, once the skin can take it.

Write to clinic@eliveate.me or call 07554 773396. Monday to Friday, 9 until 6. If you are coming from Chartridge or the villages the other side of Chesham, the same rule applies: ordinary weather, a bit of slack in the diary, and a plan we have already talked through.
