5 things you need to know before getting anti-wrinkle injections

Considering anti-wrinkle injections here in Birmingham?

One of the leading treatments here at Dermoperfection medical skin and cosmetic clinic is anti-wrinkle injections. We only use the most trusted anti-wrinkle treatment brands, Botox and Nuceiva, at our medical skin and cosmetic clinic. 

Anti-wrinkle injections are also one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the UK, but here are a few things you should know before choosing this anti-ageing favourite:

  • It’s not as painful as you think!

As with all injectable treatments, you may feel slight discomfort when they are applied, but it’s nothing unbearable – so if the thought of it hurting is holding you back, you can be assured that this won’t be the case, especially in the safe hands of our expert clinicians.

  • It doesn’t last forever

The effects of anti-wrinkle injections last up to 6 months, however this is dependent on the individual. The great thing about non-permanent treatments is that if you love the results, you can book top-ups as advised by your clinicians, or you have the option to try something different afterwards!

  • It can be used in combination with other treatments

For example, you can combine with fillers for use in areas that anti-wrinkle injections don’t cover, like filling the cheeks, chin and tear troughs, for all-over revitalisation. Read more about our best treatment combinations here.

  • Aftercare is key 

Although there is little downtime associated with anti-wrinkle injections, it’s important to follow the advice of our clinicians after your appointment e.g. you should avoid strenuous exercise and rubbing your face straight away as this can cause spreading, thus weakening its effects. 

Read more in our anti-wrinkle injection aftercare guide here.

  • You need a consultation first

A sign that you are going to a trusted clinic like ours is when they offer a consultation first. This gives clinicians a chance to assess the way your face moves so the anti-wrinkle injections can be perfectly placed, to create natural results.

You know you can trust the anti-wrinkle specialists at our medical skin and cosmetic clinic; Katie said: “I had been contemplating having anti-wrinkle injections for a few years but never really found the right place or confidence to go for it until I came across Dermoperfection. Amy is very informative and I know I am in safe, professional hands. I am so pleased with the results. Thank you!”

Start your anti-wrinkle injection journey with us today and say hello to confidence in your smooth skin!

The do’s and don’ts of dermal fillers

Considering a filler treatment here in Birmingham?

Dermal fillers are hugely in-demand for their versatility and highly effective results, however there are a few do’s and don’ts to make sure you’re in the safest hands and achieve the effects you desire.

DON’T go to an unqualified practitioner

The Dermoperfection clinicians have years of experience and training, so we have perfected our fillers technique for safe and effective results. If you go to someone less qualified, you may end up with botched or even harmful results. Read more about choosing a filler practitioner here.

DO choose the most trusted treatment brands

Guarantee the best results from your fillers with world renowned treatment brands – we offer Juvederm and Aliaxin fillers at our medical skin and cosmetic clinic, as they are hyaluronic acid (HA) based so integrate seamlessly into the skin. 

DON’T take over-the-counter painkillers before your appointment

As painkillers thin the blood, you ll be more prone to bleeding and bruising should you take these beforehand. Both our filler brands contain lidocaine, a built-in anaesthetic, so you can expect minimal discomfort!

DO follow our aftercare advice

We’re the experts for a reason – you can resume most of your normal activities straight after receiving fillers, but there’s a few things that speed up recovery and achieve desired results, such as avoiding rubbing or massaging the treatment area, and using SPF to protect the skin from direct sunlight. 

You can find out more in our filler FAQs here.

DON’T be disheartened if you don’t see optimal results straight away

You will see an improvement straight after treatment, but fillers can take up to 4 weeks to fully integrate into the skin and work their magic. It’ll be worth it, we promise!

DO take a look at our filler reviews!

Emily said: “I cannot recommend Dermoperfection enough, whether you’re after skincare treatments or filler/botox you will not be disappointed. Keep up the good work!”

So if you DO want to start your filler journey at Dermoperfection, don’t hesitate to book up your appointment at our Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic today!

FAQs about EMSELLA

EMSELLA has already become a top seller at Dermoperfection since we added it to our leading treatment range – and if you have any questions about this treatment, our experts are here to help!

Some of the most frequently asked questions about EMSELLA include…

What is EMSELLA?

EMSELLA is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment which rebuilds pelvic floor muscles to treat incontinence and intimate discomfort. This is a very comfortable treatment, which involves the patient sitting on the EMSELLA chair fully clothed.

How does EMSELLA work?

EMSELLA uses HIFEM (high intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles without you having to tense consciously. Each session is equivalent to 11,000 kegel exercises!

Is EMSELLA safe?

Yes! We pride ourselves on only bringing the most trusted brands to our Birmingham clinic, and EMSELLA is FDA-approved for the treatment of incontinence.

Who is EMSELLA for?

EMSELLA is suitable for both male and female patients who want to treat incontinence and improve intimate wellness, whether this is down to age, pregnancy, menopause or other causes.

Does EMSELLA hurt?

One of the key benefits of EMSELLA is how little discomfort you will experience during treatment! Most patients report this just feels like an intense pelvic workout. 

Is there any downtime?

As EMSELLA doesn’t involve surgery, there is no downtime from the treatment – you can resume your normal life straight after your session!

When will I see results from EMSELLA?

This is dependent on the individual, but some people see results in as little as one session, but this can be up to 3 sessions. Your muscles will continue to build after your appointment, so results will continue to improve over the course of 3 months.

How long do EMSELLA results last?

You can expect EMSELLA results to last for up to 6 months following treatment, however we have courses available at Dermoperfection to maintain your results. 

Can I get both EMSELLA and EMSCULPT?

Yes! In fact, EMSCULPT and EMSELLA have been dubbed “core to floor” for its strengthening effects across the body, the first and only non-invasive treatment combination to achieve this. Read more about EMSCULPT here.

You know you’re in the best hands here at Dermoperfection; Stacey said: I’ve been using Dermoperfection for around 2 years; Amy and Stu are both really friendly, professional and always deliver great results. I would definitely recommend and wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

Don’t let anything hold you back – come visit Dermoperfection at The Mailbox, Birmingham to create the most confident version of you!

The DiamondGlow SkinMedica serums and what skin conditions they treat

DiamondGlow is the hugely popular hydrafacial available at Dermoperfection’s medical skin and cosmetic clinic – in fact, we’re the only clinic in Birmingham to offer DiamondGlow!

Also known as an Envy facial, DiamondGlow is a revolutionary 3in1 face and body resurfacing treatment that uses a real diamond tip to extract impurities, exfoliate the skin and infuse the skin with SkinMedica condition specific serums.

As well as leaving you with a long-lasting glow, DiamondGlow is the solution to multiple skin concerns. Take a look at what each serum treats:

  • SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ – targets coarse fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, and enhances skin tone and texture.
  • SkinMedica HA5 Hyaluronic Acid – this uses 5 forms of HA to instantly hydrate and plump the skin, whilst also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • SkinMedica Even & Correct Advanced Brightening – this features their exclusive LTN Complex along with exfoliating glycolic and phytic acid to reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
  • SkinMedica Vitamin C – this provides a deep dose of antioxidants to rejuvenate and protect.
  • SkinMedica Pore Clarifying – this addresses imperfections and promotes clearer skin. This is ideal for acne-prone skin!

We love how DiamondGlow is fully customisable, and our patients do too! Lila said: “I enjoyed my first Envy facial immensely with the lovely Stuart. The results after only one treatment were amazing. My skin felt squeaky clean & definitely had a nice glow to it!”

Revitalising results from DiamondGlow can be seen after just one treatment, but we recommend a course of treatments to enhance and maintain the hydrafacial effects.

To discover more about the best hydrafacial in Birmingham, head to the DiamondGlow treatment page here. We can’t wait for you to book your treatment at our purpose-built clinic in The Mailbox, Birmingham!

BBL vs IPL: what’s the difference?

Both BBL (BroadBand Light) and IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments have become hugely popular over the past few years – but what’s the difference?

IPL heats the upper layers of the skin to help improve skin texture and tone, including for hyperpigmentation and acne. 

BBL is similar, however we believe it is the more powerful sister of IPL – and we are proud to therefore have BBL services available to patients with The Laser Fix, in collaboration with Dermoperfection, Birmingham’s leading medical skin and cosmetic clinic.

Both BBL and IPL are non-invasive, providing effective results on the face, neck, shoulders, chest and hands, with effects visible for up to a year!

However, BBL reaches further down into the skin compared to IPL, stimulating collagen production and skin repair, as well as enhancing effectiveness when treating your concerns in the long-term.

BBL is also even more customisable than IPL, combining perfectly with other Sciton laser treatments, including the amazing Moxi facial. The Laser Fix are Birmingham’s exclusive specialists in this ultimate rejuvenation combination. 

Plus, BBL is able to treat even more concerns than IPL; on top of treating sun damage, scarring, redness and rosacea, similarly to IPL, BBL also tackles unwanted freckles, birthmarks, sagging skin, fine lines, visible blood cells, spider veins and more, whilst evening out skin tone too.

BBL has even become a firm favourite with celebrities – Kim Kardashian said: “I just really love the results!” and that “it didn’t hurt at all.”

So, if you want to revitalise your skin inside and out, book your consultation to try BBL with The Laser Fix, in partnership with Dermoperfection.

FAQs about dermal fillers

So you know you might like to get fillers, and you’ve chosen to visit Dermoperfection’s leading Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic to ensure you will be in safe hands. But we know you may have more questions, so here are some answers to the most common queries!

What are dermal fillers?

Our dermal filler treatment in Birmingham uses injectables made from the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, most commonly used to fill lines and wrinkles, and add volume to areas such as the lips and cheeks.

Where can they be used?

Fillers can be used to sculpt or fill the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, tear troughs, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines, nose and more.

Can I have fillers in more than one area at once?

Yes! Many patients opt for several treatments at the same time. 

How long does it take?

This depends on your individual treatment plan, however it usually lasts between 30 minutes and an hour. 

Does it hurt?

Many patients find fillers more comfortable than expected, and our fillers contain lidocaine, an anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Dermoperfection’s expert clinicians are very skilled, so you should only feel a slight sting during treatment.

How quickly will I see results?

Results are visible immediately after the procedure! There may be some redness or swelling around the injection points, however this subsides quickly.

How long do fillers last?

Dermal fillers are non-permanent, and results are usually visible for 6-18 months. You can discuss when to book top-ups when you visit our clinic for your appointment.

Do fillers stimulate collagen production?

Yes, several studies have suggested that fillers induce the formation of collagen, resulting in skin that looks fresher and younger for longer!

Are fillers safe?

Fillers are very safe when administered by an experienced and medically qualified practitioner. We only used trusted filler brands, Juvéderm and Aliaxin, and our team of professionals have years of experience and training, so we can minimise side effects and create natural results.

What can I expect after the treatment?

Swelling and redness should go down after one or two days. Some patients may also experience raised or inflamed skin and itchiness in this time. You will also need to pause exercise for 24 hours after the procedure, however you can eat and carry on other normal activities. 

What’s the difference between fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?

Both of these are injectables, but anti-wrinkle injections relaxes muscle movement whereas fillers simply plump out and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. To discuss both of these treatments, you can book a no-obligation consultation with us.  

We have many fabulous reviews about our fillers – James said: I’ve been having fillers with Stuart for many years. He is very professional and delivers a second-to-none quality service. I would highly recommend Stuart & his team.”

These are just a few of our most frequently asked questions about fillers, but as with any treatment, we are always here to answer any more queries. So if you’re ready to start your filler journey with Dermoperfection at The Mailbox, book with us today!
