Carol Ball
BSc (Hons), Registered General Nurse (RGN), Advanced Nurse Practioner (ANP), Dermatological Nurse. Member of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN)
I have always been passionate about providing my patients with the best possible healthcare. I qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1990, and after building my dermatological skills, I became a Nurse Practitioner, specialising in minor surgery and skin complaints. This is a passion that has stayed with me throughout the years. Having worked in General Practice since 2008, I have worked with a wide range of skin conditions and ailments. I am devoted to looking after my patients and promoting skin care which results in my patients seeing themselves in a positive and more confident light. Seeing these results through my patients has only fueled my drive to help more people achieve the results they desire.
As a BACN member and in the throes of joining JCCP and Save Face we aim to protect 18 and under and will not complete filler or wrinkle treatments to this age group. Please do not be offended if you are looking young enough to have your photo ID requested.
As a registered nurse, Carol is a registered member of the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) - this has a requirement for revalidation every 3 years and a re-register every 12 months. She is also a registered member of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses. This means that her practice is always up to date with the latest guidelines and research on evidence-based practices. This ultimately provides you with an effective, safe and professional service.
Carol constantly keeps herself up to date by attending conferences, courses and reading appropriate literature - putting herself at the forefront of new techniques and treatments in this ever-expanding speciality.
Coming from a Dermatology and Plastics background I have an in-depth knowledge of our skin. Fascinated with its function, healing, protection and the ageing process. We are amazing as individuals. Looking after our skin helps us to feel good about ourselves. Our face is the photograph that everyone sees.
As we age, so our skin ages, not helped by environmental or social background such as sun damage and smoking. Menopause is a big issue and thankfully coming to the fore in conversations and awareness of its own now. Ladies who say they feel that they have aged 8 years overnight are right. Oestrogen is attached to every cell in our body from skin cells to bone and muscle. When we hit the menopause button we have already been menopausal 10 years prior to symptoms. The cube light helps in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, it is also proven to help wound healing and reduce scarring as well as aid in neurological pain relief.
We talk about collagen and are aware of the benefits but no one talks about Hyaluronic acid [HA], a natural substance boosting skin, eye and joint health to accelerate wound healing, it also helps your skin to stretch and flex reducing wrinkles and fine lines.HA hydrates skin from within whilst collagen helps keep skin firm and tight, working effectively together.
Aesthetics is a big part of helping us look fresh and retain our youthfulness, from topical treatments to fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments.
As it is skin awareness month let’s look at getting our skin to look its best, whether we are 18 or 90+.
Did you know that we start to lose our collagen from mid to late twenties to early 30s at 1% per year? By 40 our collagen drops dramatically by approx 30% contributing to the emergence of deeper wrinkles, reduction in skin firmness and hydration. 50 years and above the ageing process is notably exacerbated with loss of skin laxity and firmness as well as wrinkles.
Treatments that can be offered in the clinic are complexion-clearing facials, Pure Chemical peels, Dr Platon plasma- Licensed for acne treatment from 12 years of age with a Registered Practitioner, Lumixa with LED or Cube light LED light therapy.
