INTRAcel Pro RF Microneedling aftercare

INTRAcel Pro is the best radiofrequency microneedling treatment, exclusively available in Birmingham (and the West Midlands!) at Dermoperfection’s leading medical skin and cosmetic clinic – read about it here.

What should I expect following INTRAcel Pro? If you’re wondering about any aftercare advice following this RF microneedling treatment, the expert clinicians at Dermoperfection are here to help!

Since INTRAcel Pro is non-surgical and non-invasive, you can expect little downtime, but these pointers will help speed up the recovery process and give you optimal results…

Apply an ice pack to any swelling

It’s normal to experience mild swelling in the first 1-3 days after a RF microneedling treatment, so an ice pack applied in 15 minute sessions, 3-4 times a day can help ease any discomfort. Don’t apply ice directly to the treated area though!

Use hydrocortisone cream for redness

Redness is also common post-treatment, but this can be reduced with a hydrocortisone cream applied 3-4 times a day. 

Schedule for a night-in

You need to avoid make-up for the first 24 hours after your appointment, so you may prefer to book in when you don’t have plans after. Plus, don’t forget to moisturise afterwards too! We can recommend moisturisers and other products from our medical grade skincare range.

Be careful with sun exposure

Your skin will be more sensitive, so avoid using tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure for the first 2 weeks after treatment. We can advise on when’s best to book your INTRAcel Pro treatment before any holidays or events!

We suggest using SPF30 minimum on a daily basis anyway, but it’s especially important after RF Microneedling.

Drink plenty of water

This will help speed up the healing process even quicker (and is an essential for good skin health!)

These are our top aftercare recommendations for your INTRAcel Pro RF microneedling treatment, but we’ll run through this with you during your consultation – feel free to ask us any more questions during it too!

INTRAcel Pro is one of our most in-demand treatments; Rakhi said: “I’ve had four sessions of INTRAcel Pro with Stuart and Rosi, and I couldn’t have been happier with their service and professionalism, I look forward to having more treatments with them.”

5 top skin and body treatment trends August 2023

Looking for the top skin and body treatment trends for August 2023? The experts at Dermoperfection’s medical skin and cosmetic clinic in Birmingham are here to tell you what’s trending in-clinic and online!

From the latest treatment innovations to trusted technologies that are in the spotlight again, here’s 5 of our top picks:

Polynucleotides

This is a buzzing term in the aesthetics industry right now – but what are polynucleotides? A natural skin rejuvenation injectable, polynucleotides boost collagen and elastin production for anti-ageing and hydration boosting effects. What makes it unique is that they are made up of bio-polymers derived from fragments of fish DNA, which closely resemble human DNA.

Read more about polynucleotides here.

P-R-P for hair loss

There’s many causes of hair loss, from stress to genetics, and we know this can knock your confidence. However, a natural, non-surgical solution is here to combat this hang-up!

P-R-P therapy involves drawing the patient’s blood, processing it then injecting it into the scalp, which triggers and maintains natural hair growth. Read more about P-R-P for hair loss here.

Body sculpting

Body confidence isn’t a new trend, but using non-surgical body sculpting and contouring treatments for this is definitely on the rise!

In fact, there’s been a surge in enquiries for treatments like our leading body sculpting treatment, EMSCULPT, which creates fat reduction and muscle building results equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups per session! Read more about body sculpting treatments here.

RF Microneedling

One of the most innovative technologies on the market right now, patients are loving how the combination of radiofrequency and microneedling treats a diverse range of concerns! 

Expect a radically enhanced effect in skin tightening, lifting and resurfacing from the best RF microneedling treatment, INTRAcel Pro, which is available exclusively in the West Midlands at Dermoperfection – check it out here.

Barbie-core treatments

The biggest film of the summer has inspired one of the biggest skincare trends too! Embracing femininity is the key message, and this can be achieved with our in-demand treatments, from dermal fillers to soften or define your key features, to getting your glow with DiamondGlow, Profhilo and more!

To stay up to date with all the skincare trends worth incorporating into your routine, make sure you follow Dermoperfection on social media.

And if you want to achieve the “best version of yourself” with the best skin and body treatments in Birmingham, book a consultation with our highly trained clinicians today!

What are skin boosters and why are they so popular?

Is your skin in need of a boost? Here at Dermoperfection’s Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic, we have just the treatment!

Also known as “injectable moisturisers”, skin boosters are hyaluronic acid based treatments that, unlike dermal fillers, boost hydration over volume.

HA is spread evenly instead of just to one area, so your skin is hydrated, laxity is treated and you’re left with a healthy, glowing complexion!

Although there’s a variety of skin boosters on the market, choose the best skin booster, Profhilo, available in-clinic with Dermoperfection!

Profhilo is a hugely popular skin boosting injectable, as it treats the face as well as the body, in areas such as the neck, decolletage, arms and more.

For the best Profhilo results, we suggest a course of 2 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. You will see the skin boosting effects for up to a year, but we can recommend on an individual basis when to safely book up your top-ups. 

We are proud to be Birmingham’s most trusted Profhilo clinic – this pioneering treatment has been available with us for over 6 years now, and we were amongst the first clinicians both in the city and nationally to be Profhilo trained!

Don’t just take our word for it when it comes to our rejuvenation; Lisa said: “Wouldn’t go to anyone else other than Stu and the team for my aesthetics and treatments. Always professional, affordable, and the new spa in Birmingham is beautiful, always make me feel amazing!”

Create the most confident version of you with Profhilo at Dermoperfection – book your consultation with us here. We can’t wait to see you at our premium clinic in The Mailbox soon!

Top 5 benefits of non-surgical treatments over surgery

Non-surgical treatments are getting more and more popular at Dermoperfection, Birmingham’s leading medical skin and cosmetic clinic…and for very good reason!

The range of non-surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments is bigger than ever; we offer the most trusted treatment names, including Profhilo, Juvéderm, Aliaxin, INTRAcel Pro, ULTRAcel Q+, Mesoestetic Microneedling, DiamondGlow, EMSCULPT, EMSELLA and more!

These all provide the same incredible benefits that you would usually expect from surgery, all without the downsides associated!

Here’s Dermoperfection’s top 5 benefits of non-surgical treatments:

  • Minimal pain and discomfort

If you’re put off getting treatments due to the pain associated, we recommend non-surgical treatments! Instead of going under the knife, you can opt for injectables and other minimally invasive options. 

These often include built-in anaesthetic or we can provide an oral or topical anaesthetic. Plus, our precise technique means you’ll be wondering what you were worried about in the first place!

  • Quick treatment time and recovery

Instead of having to book time off work and dedicate days to treatment, non-surgical treatments can easily fit into your schedule – in fact, we class many of our non-surgical procedures as “lunchtime treatments” as they take half an hour or less!

And when your appointment is over, you don’t have plan time at home – you can resume most of your usual activities straight after! Our clinicians will however give you a few aftercare pointers to ensure the best recovery and results.

  • No incisions or scarring

Here at Dermoperfection, we are experts in natural rejuvenation – and if stitches and scarring have turned you off surgery, come to our clinic for one of our minimally invasive treatments that leave no telltale signs.

  • Less cost

Although we don’t recommend “cheap” treatments, as these are often less safe options, you can definitely save with Dermoperfection’s trusted treatments compared to surgical alternatives. We also have a range of exclusive course offers, that you can check out here. 

  • Less risk of complications

Especially with our highly trained Birmingham clinicians, the chance of complications from our treatments are minimal, which is more expected of surgery.

So whether you want to add youthfulness back to your skin, boost hydration, sculpt the body, treat concerns from acne to hyperpigmentation and more, we can help with our minimally invasive treatments!

And you can be assured you’re in the safest hands with our 5* reviews; Charlotte said: “Love this place. I really enjoy all the different treatments that they do. I highly recommend Dermoperfection.”

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!

One of the most effective sagging skin treatments, Silhouette Soft is a thread lift that uses resorbable sutures to correct and tighten the midface, jawline, eyebrows and neck.

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!

What are body sculpting treatments and why are they so popular?

Body sculpting treatments have surged in popularity recently, with over 10,000 searches per month for these!

What are body sculpting treatments? These use non-surgical devices that destroy fat cells whilst building muscles and tightening the skin. The aim is to achieve the same effects you would see from an intense workout!

And if you’re looking for the best body sculpting treatment on the market, you need to try EMSCULPT, available at Dermoperfection’s medical skin and cosmetic clinic in Birmingham!

EMSCULPT uses high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to sculpt and tone the body, particularly on the abs, abdomen, calves and buttocks, if these are the areas where you have yet to reach the results you desire through exercise. 

Each session causes thousands of muscle contractions; these are quite intense, but it ensures muscles adapt to these conditions to achieve optimal results. 

Due to the fact body sculpting treatments like EMSCULPT are non-invasive, you can expect no downtime! Check out our EMSCULPT treatment page here, or take a look at our EMSCULPT FAQs. 

You can also combine EMSCULPT with another BTL Aesthetics treatment, EMSELLA, which is a powerful incontinence treatment, so you can feel stronger from core to floor!

Another reason why EMSCULPT is so popular at Dermoperfection is that we have exclusive deals for this treatment! You can enjoy 4 sessions plus 1 FREE bonus all for ÂŁ995 – each session is usually worth ÂŁ300, so this is a huge saving!

Come see what all the hype is about with our world class body sculpting treatment EMSCULPT – book a consultation or even a 10 minute taster with us today!

Why is microneedling so popular as a summer treatment?

We are definitely summer ready here at Dermoperfection, especially with our Mesoestetic Microneedling treatment!

We are Birmingham’s Microneedling specialists, performing this treatment for a range of patients and their specific skin and body goals.

Microneedling is an in-demand treatment all year round, but here’s a few reasons why patients LOVE microneedling during summer:

It’s a quick and easy treatment

We know your summer schedule may be busy, so you might think you haven’t got time for some Microneedling rejuvenation. However, as a Microneedling session usually lasts only 30 minutes, it’s the perfect “lunchtime treatment” – read more about what lunchtime treatments are here.

Plus, as microneedling is minimally invasive, you can go about your usual life straight after treatment.

It can be tailored to your summer skin goals

The Mesoestetic m.pen[pro] comes along with 8 different c.prof solutions for various concerns – for example, if hyperpigmentation is holding you back this summer, try the depigmentation solution, or if scarring and stretch marks are making you feel less confident in your beach body, we recommend the skinmark solution. Read the full range of Microneedling solutions here.

It’s suitable for summertime

Microneedling is one of the safest treatments to get in summer – you will need to wear SPF after treatment for extra protection, however this should be part of your daily skincare routine anyway. Our expert clinicians can advise you on the best time to get Microneedling in advance of your holidays and events. 

It can be combined with other summer ready treatments

We are specialists in safe but highly effective treatment combinations, and Microneedling can enhance the likes of DiamondGlow, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. 

We are proud of the rave reviews we have for our Microneedling treatment – Malaika said: “The best skin clinic in Birmingham. I did turn up to my appointment quite tired, but Teresa who did my Microneedling facial did an amazing job. My skin looks amazing!”

If Microneedling is the treatment that will bring you confidence this summer, book your consultation today at our medical skin and cosmetic clinic, located in The Mailbox, Birmingham.
