Make-up free in 3 months: hyperpigmentation treatment focus

Do you want to go make-up free in three months, but feel like you have to hide hyperpigmentation? Here at Dermoperfection, we have a great selection of treatments to tackle this and have you feeling confident in your bare face!

Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the surrounding skin. This is due to excessive melanin, the brown pigment that produces your skin colour, forms deposits.

You may be choosing foundation or other make-up products to balance your skin tone, but we have the best treatments at our medical skin clinic, for a more permanent solution to hyperpigmentation.

One of the most effective treatments is Dermamelan by Mesoestetic – this is a skin peel that utilises organic acids to remove and suppress melanin. This is suitable for all skin types; although it was designed for bad pigmentation, it’s a great quick fix for minor pigmentation and sun damage.

Additional benefits of this treatment include more hydrated skin, reduced pore size, regulated sebum production and rejuvenation of the skin’s surface!

Mesoestetic’s microneedling treatment is another popular option for tackling hyperpigmentation! The needles create microchannels that allow active ingredients into the skin – we recommend the depigmentation solution, which inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme in the skin that produces melanin. This solution is also effective for whitening, lightening, correcting and antioxidant action.

Did you know that INTRAcel Pro can be used for hyperpigmentation? This radiofrequency microneedling treatment, which Dermoperfection are the exclusive providers of in the West Midlands, allows deep penetration to lift residual pigmentation whilst also tightening the skin.

The treatment targets variable depths below the surface, meaning the healthy skin is left undamaged, causing minimal pain and discomfort.

You can try an Obagi Blue Peel as well, which works to remove blemishes and pigmented areas, resulting in brighter looking skin after just one use. Why not check out the Obagi Nu Derm range whilst you’re here too? This helps you tackle hyperpigmentation as part of your at-home routine, by minimising these brown spots and uneven skin tone.

So say goodbye to hyperpigmentation holding you back and let’s embrace the fresh face! To discover these treatments, book your consultation with us today.

Make-up free in 3 months: acne treatment focus

We are doing a series on the best ways to go make-up free in 3 months with our treatments, and are focusing on how to target the specific concerns that are holding you back from going bare-faced. But which of the procedures at Dermoperfection are best to treat acne?

Acne is a common skin concern, with blackheads and whiteheads, red spots, pus-filled pimples and scars being most prevalent on the face, back and chest.

Even though there are products in your usual health stores that are said to help with acne, we believe treatments from our medical skin clinic are the best way to get to the root of the cause.

As it usually takes 2-4 months to demonstrate effectiveness of treatments on acne-prone skin, we recommend booking your treatments soon if you want to feel fabulous in your own skin during the summer months.

One of our most popular treatments for acne is an Envy facial, which is a face and body resurfacing treatment to exfoliate damaged skin cells and deliver serum infusion for beautiful skin. It’s no secret that a build-up of dirt, debris and bacteria in the skin is a cause of acne, and this facial extracts this, with the results being visible in your very own waste jar.

Another one of our in-demand treatments is microneedling, so if acne scarring is holding you back from going make-up free, this may be perfect for you. Tiny, sterile needles puncture the skin not only to boost collagen production, but to allow active ingredients into the skin too. The Skinmark solution is great for treating these scars, but you can discover all the Mesoestetic solutions during your consultation.

We are exclusive providers of the INTRAcel Pro treatment in the West Midlands, so you won’t want to miss its acne treating technique here! INTRAcel Pro uses radiofrequency microneedling to produce thermal energy that destroys the cause of acne, whilst being able to resurface the skin to repair scarring, poor texture, lines and pores.

If you want to continue being make-up free whatever the weather, it’s important to complement your treatments with the best at-home skincare. We stock Obagi’s medical grade products at our skin clinic, which keep your skin looking fresh whilst also cleansing it of the bacteria that causes acne. You could also have one of our professional grade Obagi skin peels, for quick and easy skin rejuvenation!

One added bonus of not wearing make-up is that it can cause blocked pores, worsening acne. So being bare faced not only feels great, but also ensures your skin looks great for longer.

Therefore, if you want to find confidence in your make-up free face without having to worry about acne, book your consultation with our medical professionals today!

Our treatment recommendations for mum tums!

Here at Dermoperfection, we want all mother figures to feel confident in their figures this Mother’s Day! One concern you may have is a “mum tum”, but the treatments our medical professionals specialise in offer the best solutions!

But what exactly is a mum tum? As we get older, our body naturally changes, and we may find our skin to be more lax. This can be a result of pregnancy, but this can also be due to losing weight, decreased collagen production etc. But this is where our Birmingham skin clinic comes in!

Dermoperfection are exclusive providers of INTRAcel Pro in the West Midlands, and we love how this can rejuvenate almost all areas of the body, including mum tums. The INTRAcel Pro delivery system uses microneedles to resurface, lift and tighten the skin, with natural-looking results. Another of its benefits is boosting collagen production, which maintains youthful-looking skin.

Another of our exclusive treatments is ULTRAcel Q+, which uses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to tighten, lift and contour the skin. This specifically targets stubborn fat deposits, toning the stomach and other areas of the face and body. Results are usually seen for up to two years following treatment!

Microneedling is one of our most in-demand procedures at our skin clinic, and we use the Mesoestetic m.pen to not only increase collagen production, but also allow active ingredients in the skin to target specific concerns. The body firming solution is our favourite for the tummy area, as it treats flaccidity.

Profhilo is creating a lot of buzz at the moment as well, as the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. This reduces the laxity and crepey appearance that comes with age and lifestyle choices, so this is perfect for targeting a mum tum.

Even though all these treatments are beneficial for mum tums, they can be used on other areas of the body, so you can ask to target multiple concerns during your treatment with us.

So let’s start loving our bodies and mum tums again, and book a no-obligation consultation with Dermoperfection to find out more about our high-quality services!

The best treatments for anti-ageing effects!

It’s easier than ever to feel youthful again – especially with our range of non-surgical options.

So which aesthetic treatments are best for anti-ageing? Turn back the hands of time with some of our favourites including:

Silhouette Soft – this suture lift has a dual effect for anti-ageing; it enhances instantly, and regenerates gradually. This corrects sagging skin, redefines your jawline and boosts natural collagen production, with both immediate and long-lasting results.

Silhouette Soft’s sutures are made from medical grade materials, enhancing it from your usual threading treatments. The results of this are visible for up to 24 months, however it can be repeated when the signs of ageing begin to reappear.

INTRAcel Pro – an INTRAcel treatment uses 49 microneedles for optimised radiofrequency delivery; this protects the surface of the skin from damage, giving it less downtime than other laser procedures or surgery.

Some of the areas INTRAcel can rejuvenate include loose jowls, sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. It can also target other skin concerns such as stretch marks, acne and scarring. The results are visible for up to two years, although you can book in for top-up treatments.

ULTRAcel Q+ – high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is used during this anti-ageing treatment, to lift and tighten areas around the face and body. ULTRAcel Q+ is 3 times faster than other HIFU procedures, resulting in minimal discomfort and quicker treatment time.

The benefits of this treatment include stimulating new collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, body contouring, facial sculpting and targeting stubborn fat deposits. 2-3 procedures are required on average, but some people may only need one!

Profhilo – this is the first BDDE-free stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity; it not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue.

Profhilo reduces laxity and crepey appearance on the face, neck, decolletage, upper arms, abdomen and thighs, and more! The slow release of HA over 28 days stimulates 4 different types of collagen, for a lifting and tightening effect.

Dermal fillers – fillers can be used for many anti-ageing effects, including sculpting cheekbones, adding definition to the jaw and filling fine lines. Many of our patients opt to have several treatments at once, to target all your concerns.

We are committed to offering only the highest quality products, which is why we chose Aliaxin and Juvederm as our filler brands, and you can ensure you’re in safe hands with our medical practitioners.

Anti-wrinkle treatment –  our anti-wrinkle treatment helps relax the facial muscles to give a smooth, lifted effect!

These benefits can be seen within just a few days, but you’ll get to enjoy the full anti-ageing results after 2-3 weeks.

Obagi – as well as our treatments in the clinic, you can see anti-ageing effects in your home routine with Obagi’s skincare range. One of our favourites include the Professional-C Serum 20%, which uses Vitamin C to encourage the skin to rebound from previous damage, which in-turn reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

You can enquire about the full Obagi range by booking a free consultation with us!

So if you want to begin your skincare journey towards younger and healthier looking skin, get in touch with us and we can help with your anti-ageing goals!

The best spring treatments at our clinic!

Who wants their confidence to bloom like spring? Well, we have the treatments to get you ready for the new season! The professionals at our medical, skin and cosmetic clinic are here to create the “best version of you” with…

Envy facial

Dull winter skin can be transformed into glowing spring skin with an Envy facial! This resurfacing treatment simultaneously exfoliates, extracts and infuses the skin, helping get rid of toxins and pollutants that have built up.

Some of the skin concerns treated by Envy include acne, hyperpigmentation, blocked pores, fine lines, wrinkles and rosacea. What’s more, we have a very special offer currently, giving you 6 sessions for the price of 4 at £516!

Profhilo

As well as feeling confident in your face this spring, we also want you to love your body! One of our most popular treatments is Profhilo, an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. This has a tightening/lifting effect on the face, decolletage, upper arms, abdomen, thighs and more!

Profhilo stimulates the production of 4 different types of collagen too, which results in a natural but noticeable anti-ageing effect.

Microneedling 

One of the best things about this in-demand treatment is how it can be completely personalised to you! Microneedling not only stimulates the production of collagen for youthful looking skin, but allows active ingredients into the skin too which target your specific concerns.

Some of our favourite Mesoestetic solutions for spring are the depigmentation solution, which reduces hyperpigmentation and the photoageing solution, to correct fine lines and wrinkles, and add luminosity to the skin.

Anti-wrinkle injections

Have you noticed more wrinkles over winter that you’d like to reduce for spring? We recommend anti-wrinkle injections in this case! The main areas this can target include fine lines and wrinkles around the eyebrows, eyes, forehead, mouth and chin.

We pride ourselves in being a CQC registered clinic, meaning you will be in the safest hands to begin your journey to younger-looking skin!

Hay fever injections

We’ve already seen hay fever symptoms creeping up, but there’s a solution that can cover you right through until the end of summer! Hay fever injections are a great option for minimising the usual symptoms of hay fever, including a runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and coughing.

To find out more about this injection, check out our hay fever focus blog here.

Hyperhidrosis injections 

Another concern you may have as the weather improves with spring’s arrival is hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. This is also treatable with an injection, which combats the overactive sweat gland. Book a consultation with us to discover more!

This is just a snapshot of the medical treatments we offer that are ideal for spring, but you can check out all the options on our website, and book your appointment with us.

INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+ as an alternative to surgical face lifts

As more and more of us are searching for non-surgical alternatives to traditional procedures, we recommend INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+ as a substitute for face lifts!

But how can non-surgical treatments create similar results? INTRAcel Pro uses radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, and ULTRAcel Q+ uses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), both for tightening, lifting and resurfacing the skin.

INTRAcel Pro also protects the surface of the skin from damage, allowing you to resume daily life quickly, whilst achieving world class, outstanding results. Some of the areas it can treat on the face include loose jowls, sagging skin under the chin and fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and forehead.

It can target other concerns too, such as acne, stretch marks and scarring, and can be effectively applied to the body too. Results from this treatment are usually seen for up to two years!

ULTRAcel Q+ is innovative as it is three times quicker than other HIFU treatments, resulting in minimal discomfort. These HIFU waves are beamed right down to where structural weakening begins, targeting areas generally only improved by surgery.

The benefits of ULTRAcel Q+ include lifting the forehead, brows, mid and lower face, and the neck, as well as reducing the jowl and tightening the chin, jaw and neck. This can be extended to the body, targeting the arms, legs, stomach, thighs and more.

Similarly to INTRAcel Pro, the effects of this treatment are usually seen for two years, however we recommend a course of procedures for both to experience optimal results.

We are exclusive providers for both INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+ in the West Midlands, and we love these options as alternatives to a face lift due to the minimal downtime; you can typically return to normal activities the same day, whereas the average recovery time for a face lift is 10-14 days.

Another reason why patients choose these non-surgical options is because of the natural-looking results, leaving you looking younger but not “frozen-faced”.

With all our treatments, we want to ensure you have peace of mind, so feel free to ask us any questions.

Looking for a long lasting solution to hay fever?

Dermoperfection has the solution for hay fever sufferers!

Although many of us will be excited for the return of spring and summer, we know some will be dreading it with the return of hay fever season, and may even be feeling the effects of hay fever already!

Did you know that more than 10 million people are affected by hay fever in the UK? 

Many will be asking if there is a cure for hay fever – well this year we want to help you to enjoy the spring and summer like never before!

Our medically trained team can help you to look forward to those walks in the park, sitting out in the garden, and generally functioning without the dreaded hay fever symptoms taking over the warmer months.

The most common hay fever signs and symptoms can include:

  • Runny nose and nasal congestion.
  • Watery, itchy, red eyes (allergic conjunctivitis)
  • Sneezing.
  • Cough.
  • Itchy nose, roof of mouth or throat.
  • Swollen, blue-coloured skin under the eyes (allergic shiners)
  • Postnasal drip.
  • Fatigue

So what’s the answer?

Antihistamine tablets, eye drops and nose sprays are only providing limited relief, and let’s face it are not cheap. The average pack of tablets cost £10 for 30 – think how many packs you went through last summer…

We can offer a simple solution to minimising your symptoms, with a hay fever injection!

The injection can be given any time during the season, ideally at the onset of symptoms or just before. Results are typically seen within the first 3 days, although it can take up to 10 days. Most patients are safe to drive, return to work and their daily routine straight after.

Since the injection is not a cure, but rather a way to alleviate symptoms, results cannot be guaranteed due to each patient’s immune response. You may require a second dose if your symptoms were severe at the time of your appointment.

As with all our treatments, you will join us for a consultation where you can ask more questions about our hay fever injection.

So, if you want to be free to enjoy spring and summer to the fullest, enquire about this treatment with us today!

Our treatments that work best together!

We all love an iconic duo, and did you know that our treatments can often work amazingly together to create even more desirable results?

Your treatment plan is totally personal to you, so we are here if you want to focus on one procedure, or find a combination that tackles all your concerns.

Some of the best treatments that work together include:

Microneedling and dermal fillers

Microneedling is one of our most popular treatments, as this increases the production of collagen and creates microchannels in the skin to allow active ingredients in, targeting skin concerns like acne, fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

We offer Mesoesthetic here, or you can opt for INTRAcel Pro’s radiofrequency microneedling. If you are interested in dermal fillers, having a microneedling treatment before can improve the framework for your fillers to sit better.

Microneedling and professional-grade peels

Microneedling also works well with skin peels, transforming your skin both inside and out. This helps get rid of dry, dead skin cells (perfect after winter!) and stimulates collagen production for rejuvenated skin.

One of our peels is the Obagi Blue Peel – Radiance, which removes the top layer of the skin to reveal new, healthy skin. You can even check out the Obagi range when you visit us, so you can bring their pioneering products to your daily skincare routine.

Envy facial and Profhilo 

Get your glow back with a combination of Envy and Profhilo! Envy is great for skin resurfacing, as it simultaneously exfoliates, extracts and infuses the skin on the face and body, resulting in healthy, radiant and rejuvenated skin.

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid based injectable for treating skin laxity and signs of ageing, and this hydrates skin both in the dermis and epidermis. So, combining these treatments ensures hydration both on the surface and deeper down!

Botox and dermal fillers

Did you know that different injectables can actually be combined? Botox is most commonly used for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, whereas dermal fillers like Aliaxin have a volumising effect, so your skin is both smoother and lifted with this combo. A practitioner will discuss how to safely perform these treatments alongside each other.

These are just a few combinations that can create desirable results, however sometimes treatments are not recommended together. Our team of medical professionals are here to ensure you’re in safe hands, and only choose treatments that create the best results together!
