Why are non-surgical face lifts so popular at the moment?

Turn back the hands of time – without the time, money or other drawbacks of surgery!

Non-surgical treatments are creating a huge buzz at the moment, especially for face lifts! Recently, Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas debuted the amazing results of her non-surgical face lift, and many were left wondering where they could achieve similar.

This was even featured in The Times in an article by Alice Hart-Davis, founder of The Tweakments Guide; Dermoperfection is proud to be part of the guide with our lead clinician Stuart being a recommended practitioner – read our profile here.

But what non-surgical face lift treatments are there at our Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic? We always like to be ahead of the curve with pioneering treatments, including:

ULTRAcel Q+ HIFU

This treatment was name-checked in Alice Hart-Davis’ article, and we are very proud to be exclusive providers of this high intensity focused ultrasound treatment in the West Midlands.

What makes ULTRAcel Q+ the best HIFU treatment is that it is 3x faster than its counterparts, which means you can expect a pain-free treatment that takes less than 15 minutes on the face!

How does ULTRAcel Q+ work? The HIFU waves are beamed to a controlled targeted depth to counter the effects of gravity and skin ageing, and safely lift and tighten the skin. 2-3 treatments are required on average for optimal results, which can then be seen for up to 2 years!

INTRAcel Pro

Another treatment exclusively available at Dermoperfection in the West Midlands, INTRAcel Pro is a revolutionary radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment.

This uses 49 microneedles to deliver electrical current into your skin, which in turn recharges collagen and elastin production (this keeps us looking youthful) and has a radically enhanced effect in lifting, tightening and resurfacing the skin. 

Most patients require around 3 INTRAcel Pro sessions to show face lifting results for up to 2 years!

Silhouette Soft

Dermoperfection is a CQC registered clinic, meaning we can perform the groundbreaking Silhouette Soft suture lift.

During this treatment, resorbable sutures (threads) are used to correct and tighten the midface, jawline, eyebrows and neck. It also stimulates collagen production for instant and long-lasting anti-ageing results, which last for up to 2 years.

The most important factor to consider when opting for a non-surgical face lift is choosing a clinic with experience – and Dermoperfection has the safest hands in the city!

We have over 10 years experience in medical skin and cosmetic treatments, and we are always expanding on our expertise. Plus, we offer each patient a free consultation to create a bespoke treatment plan – no two faces are the same, after all!

So if you want to revive your younger self without going under the knife, book up with our expert clinicians today and come visit us at our purpose-built clinic in The Mailbox, Birmingham.

INTRAcel Pro vs Morpheus8: which is better?

Morpheus8 has been big in the news recently, with celebrities like Judy Murray and Amanda Holden opting for this radiofrequency microneedling treatment to refresh and rejuvenate their skin.

But did you know we have an even better version of the already highly effective Morpheus8?

Here at Dermoperfection, we offer INTRAcel RF Microneedling (also known as INTRAcel Pro), and we’re proud to be the exclusive providers of this revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment in the West Midlands! In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how INTRAcel Pro and Morpheus8 compare, so you can make the most informed decision for your skin.

What Is RF Microneedling?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is one of the most advanced non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments available today. It combines two powerful technologies in one: microneedling, which creates tiny controlled channels in the dermis to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, and radiofrequency energy, which heats the deeper skin layers to trigger fibroblast activity and powerful collagen stimulation.

The result is firmer, tighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin, without the downtime, scarring, or expense of surgical procedures. RF microneedling has become the gold standard for treating a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines, wrinkle reduction, acne scars, enlarged pores, and skin laxity, while also delivering effective skin resurfacing.

What Is Morpheus8?

The Morpheus8 device is a well-known RF microneedling tool that uses a combination of microneedles and radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat into the dermal layers of the skin. It’s recognised for its ability to tighten skin, smooth lines, and reduce the appearance of scarring. Its celebrity following has helped make it one of the most talked-about aesthetic treatments of the past few years.

What Is INTRAcel Pro?

INTRAcel Pro is a next-generation RF microneedling treatment that uses 49 ultra-fine microneedles for optimised RF delivery, skin lifting, tightening, and refining the facial contours with impressive precision.

It’s also a popular acne treatment, with the thermal energy produced helping to destroy the bacteria and overactive sebaceous glands that cause breakouts. Once the bacteria has been targeted, INTRAcel Pro then delivers powerful skin resurfacing to repair acne scars, improve poor texture, soften fine lines, and refine enlarged pores.

This makes INTRAcel Pro a fantastic alternative to surgery, as it protects the surface of the skin from damage, allowing you to resume daily life straight after your treatment.

INTRAcel Pro vs Morpheus8: The Key Differences

While both treatments fall under the RF microneedling category, INTRAcel Pro is widely regarded as the more innovative, advanced option. Here’s how the two compare.

Comfort and Pain Levels

You can expect significantly less discomfort from an INTRAcel Pro treatment, as the shorter, finer needles cause less trauma to the skin during the procedure. Many patients describe the sensation as much more tolerable than Morpheus8, especially when paired with our pre-treatment numbing cream.

Treatment Depth

INTRAcel Pro focuses on the top two skin layers of the dermis, where most visible signs of ageing, acne scars, and texture issues occur. This precise needle depth means it can be safely used on the more sensitive and delicate parts of the face, including the periorbital wrinkles around the eyes, that other devices may struggle to treat as effectively.

Number of Needles

With 49 microneedles per applicator, INTRAcel Pro delivers exceptionally even, consistent coverage across each treatment zone. This helps produce smoother, more uniform results across the entire treatment area.

Cost

Despite the additional benefits of INTRAcel Pro, it’s actually more affordable than Morpheus8! For a course of 3 face treatments with the Morpheus8 device, you can expect to pay around ÂŁ2,000. At Dermoperfection, a course of 3 INTRAcel Pro treatments starts from just ÂŁ1,350.

Longevity of Results

Once you’ve completed your INTRAcel Pro course, you can expect to see the amazing effects for up to 2 years thanks to sustained collagen production from within the dermis. We’ll then advise you on when to book in your top-up sessions to maintain those beautiful results.

What Does INTRAcel Pro Treat?

INTRAcel Pro is one of the most versatile skin treatments available, addressing a wide range of skin conditions including:

  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and periorbital wrinkles around the eyes
  • Skin laxity and early signs of ageing
  • Active acne and breakouts
  • Acne scars and pitting
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Stretch marks
  • Loss of definition in the facial contours, jawline, neck, and dĂ©colletage

The treatment can be tailored to specific concerns or used over the full face for complete rejuvenation.

What to Expect From Your INTRAcel Pro Treatment

Each INTRAcel Pro session begins with a thorough consultation, where your practitioner will assess your skin and tailor the treatment to your individual concerns. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to keep you comfortable throughout.

During the treatment, the INTRAcel Pro device gently glides over each treatment zone, delivering precise microneedling and RF energy. The session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterwards, you may experience some mild redness or slight swelling for 24 to 48 hours, but most patients can return to their normal routine straight away.

For optimal results, we recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.

Who Is INTRAcel Pro Right For?

INTRAcel Pro is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including:

  • Those wanting to address fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of ageing
  • Anyone struggling with active acne or acne scars
  • Patients with enlarged pores or uneven skin texture
  • Those wanting non-surgical skin lifting and tightening
  • Anyone looking for a more affordable, more comfortable alternative to Morpheus8

The top aesthetic treatments at Dermoperfection

What are aesthetic treatments? These are treatments that are designed to enhance your natural beauty and confidence, with natural results, minimally invasive procedures and little downtime.

Dermoperfection are Birmingham’s aesthetics specialists, and the top aesthetic treatments available at our medical skin and cosmetic clinic include:

Anti-wrinkle injections

The most popular anti-ageing aesthetic treatment, anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that contract to cause fine lines and wrinkles. When perfectly placed by our expert clinicians, you will see subtle results that still allow for expression. 

Dermal fillers

Fillers are well known for volumising the lips, but they’re actually more versatile than this! They can also fill fine lines and wrinkles, and sculpt and define the jawline and cheekbones. We only offer the best filler brands at our Birmingham clinic, including Juvederm and Aliaxin.

Profhilo

Profhilo has exploded in popularity over the last 5 years, as a hyaluronic acid (HA) based injectable for subtle rejuvenation. Patients love how hydrated and youthful their skin looks afterwards! As they boost the skin rather than change the features, this is a very popular “entry level” treatment.

Skin peels

They’re not as scary as they sound! Skin peels gently remove impurities from the skin, and stimulate the growth of new skin cells. These help concerns ranging from acne to hyperpigmentation, or just as a skin refresh! We offer the leading skin peel brand at our clinic, PCA Skin.

Microneedling

Microneedling is both a collagen booster and the best way to allow more active ingredients into the skin to treat your face and body concerns, from scarring and stretch marks to hair loss. You can also expect overall firmer and tighter skin with our Mesoestetic Microneeding treatment!

DiamondGlow

Facials will always be a popular aesthetic treatment, and we have the DiamondGlow hydrafacial available in-clinic! Using a real diamond tip, your skin will be exfoliated and infused to create a long-lasting glow.

These are just a few of the top treatments at our aesthetics clinic, but you can discover our entire world class range on our website, or by visiting us at The Mailbox, Birmingham. We can’t wait for you to start your skincare journey with us!

But what are skin peels? And why are skin peels so popular?

We have the answer to these questions! Skin peels are solutions that are applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. Patients love how this is a quick and easy way to uncover smoother, radiant skin!

We offer PCA Skin peels at our clinic, as these are suitable for all skin types, tones and concerns. Plus, they have had over 25 years experience in formulating the best professional peels – we only bring treatments to Dermoperfection we know you can trust.

PCA Skin NoPeel Peel

A peel…that doesn’t make your skin peel? Yep, you heard that right! The PCA Skin NoPeel Peel promotes gentle exfoliation and skin renewal, improves skin tone and removes impurities, all without visible peeling, irritation, inflammation and redness post-treatment.

As it is gentler on the skin than most peels, making it the perfect “entry-level” or “in-between” peel treatment.

PCA Skin Perfecting Peel

This is a multi-faceted skin-brightening treatment, formulated for ageing, discoloured, breakout-prone and sensitive skin. This is another gentle treatment, so is perfect for your first skin peel, or if you want to rejuvenate your skin without redness and other side effects.

The key ingredients include mandelic acid for effective exfoliation, as well as treating melasma, hyperpigmentation, photoageing and acne scarring, along with lactic acid to keep your skin moisturised.

Our founder and lead clinician, Stuart, celebrated his 42nd birthday at the end of January, so to mark the occasion, BOTH these PCA Skin peels are just ÂŁ42 for the entirety of February 2023. This is down from ÂŁ75, a huge saving of ÂŁ33!

Dermoperfection is Birmingham’s PCA Skin flagship store, so we are experts on this medical skincare brand. We can also make recommendations from our PCA Skin product range on what will complement your peel and other treatments.
