Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments, with patients loving how they renew the skin!

You may have heard that skin peels are just for winter, and might be wondering if you can get a chemical peel during the summer months – if so, the skin rejuvenation experts at Dermoperfection are here to help!

During summer, you should take more care after a peel due to sun exposure; you don’t need to completely avoid these treatments though – these are a few benefits of skin peels during the summer season:

Getting your glow

We all want glowing skin during summer, but if oiliness is instead getting in the way, a skin peel can help slow down oil production. This also treats acne and blemishes, perfect for your fresh-faced glow!

Fast results

You don’t have to wait ages to see incredible results from a skin peel – even after a few days, your skin will show significant improvement!

Helps with pigmentation concerns

Another common summer skin concern is hyperpigmentation, sun spots and other pigmentation issues, however skin peels are one of the most effective pigmentation removers!

Adds youthfulness to the skin

It’s not too late to turn back the hands of time! Particularly popular in advance of holidays and other special occasions, this treatment peels back the damaged layer of skin to unlock your youthful complexion underneath.

We are proud providers of the PCA Skin Perfecting Peel and NoPeel Peel, which are gentle peels suitable for a range of skin types and tones all year round – read about these here. And for pigmentation specific peels, try Mesoestetic’s Cosmelan or Dermamelan, which you can find out more about here.

Since your skin will be more sensitive following a peel, we recommend you wear an SPF daily afterwards regardless of the season – and here at Dermoperfection, we have a leading range of medical grade SPFs from skincare brands Obagi and PCA Skin. 

Our expert clinicians will advise on the best time for you to book a peel so you can safely enjoy the full effects before any events, along with more aftercare advice.

From summer to winter, we’re here to start your journey to stunning skin with our best skin peels – book a consultation today to find out more.

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.”

Skin Boosters Explained: What They Are and Why They’ve Become So Popular

Glowing, hydrated, healthy-looking skin sits at the top of most people’s skincare wish list, but achieving that lit-from-within radiance can feel impossible when creams and serums only work on the surface. That’s where skin booster treatments come in. Over the past few years, these innovative injectable skin treatments have transformed the way we approach skin health, and they’ve quickly become one of the most requested face treatments at our Birmingham clinic.

If you’ve been hearing the buzz around skin boosters and wondering whether they could be the answer to your dull, dehydrated, or ageing skin, here’s everything you need to know.

What Exactly Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve the overall quality, hydration, and skin texture from within. Often nicknamed “injectable moisturisers,” they’re formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your body that can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water.

Delivered through a series of fine microinjections into the dermis, skin boosters provide deep skin hydration and true cellular hydration, while encouraging the fibroblast cells in your skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This is why they’re often grouped with collagen stimulators, they kick-start your skin’s own regeneration process rather than masking concerns from the surface.

While traditional dermal fillers also use HA, the two are very different. Fillers are designed for volumisation, adding shape and structure to specific areas like the cheek or lips. Skin boosters, on the other hand, distribute hyaluronic acid evenly across a wider treatment area to stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin condition.

The result? Skin that looks fresher, plumper, and noticeably more radiant, without changing the shape of your face.

Why Have Skin Boosters Become So Popular?

There are several reasons skin booster treatments have become such a hot topic in the aesthetics world:

They deliver natural-looking results. Because skin boosters don’t add volumisation, there’s no risk of an overdone, “tweaked” appearance. You simply look like a refreshed, healthier version of yourself, which is exactly the look most clients are after.

They tackle multiple concerns at once. From dehydration and dullness to fine lines, wrinkles, crepey texture, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and skin laxity, skin boosters work holistically to improve your overall skin condition rather than targeting one isolated issue.

They suit a wide range of ages and skin types. Whether you’re in your twenties looking for a glow-up, or in your fifties wanting to address collagen deficiency and loss of elasticity, skin boosters can be tailored to suit your needs.

They treat areas other treatments can’t. Skin boosters work brilliantly as face treatments, but they’re also excellent for the neck, décolletage, hands, knees, and arms, areas that are notoriously tricky to address with anti-wrinkle injection treatments alone.

The results are long-lasting. With minimal downtime and a treatment plan that fits easily into your routine, skin boosters offer impressive longevity for the investment.

Why We Recommend Profhilo

Although there’s a growing variety of skin boosters on the market, from polynucleotides and exosomes to collagen stimulators like Sculptra, Profhilo remains our top recommendation, and for good reason. Profhilo is one of the most highly regarded HA-based injectable skin treatments in the world, known for delivering a unique combination of deep skin hydration and bio-remodelling effects.

Unlike standard hyaluronic acid injections, Profhilo uses an ultra-pure, highly concentrated form of hyaluronic acid that spreads beneath the skin to trigger powerful collagen stimulation. This means it doesn’t just hydrate, it actively encourages skin regeneration, restores elasticity, softens wrinkles, and helps address underlying collagen deficiency. By rebuilding the skin’s foundations, Profhilo helps your skin behave more like it did in your younger years.

For the best Profhilo results, we recommend a course of two treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Delivered through just a small number of strategic injection points, the procedure is quick and comfortable. Some clients experience minor bruising, mild redness, or temporary inflammation around the treatment area, but these effects usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. With simple post-treatment care, like avoiding heavy exercise and makeup for the first day, and far less downtime than a microneedling treatment, you can get straight back to your routine. After your initial course, we’ll advise you on a personalised top-up schedule based on your skin’s individual response and goals.

Where Can Profhilo Be Used?

One of the reasons we love Profhilo is its versatility. It can be safely and effectively used on:

• The face: to improve hydration, glow, skin tone and firmness
• The neck: to address crepey skin and early signs of ageing
• The décolletage: to smooth lines and refine skin texture
• The arms and hands: areas that often reveal age before the face does
• The knees and abdomen: for gentle skin tightening and regeneration

This makes Profhilo a fantastic option whether you’re focused on facial rejuvenation or want to refresh other areas where your skin is starting to show wear and tear.

Why Choose Dermoperfection for Your Profhilo Treatment?

At Dermoperfection, we’re proud to be Birmingham’s most trusted Profhilo clinic. We’ve been offering this pioneering treatment for over six years and were among the first practitioners in the city, and nationally, to be Profhilo trained. That depth of experience means we know exactly how to tailor each treatment to your unique skin concerns and goals, ensuring you get safe, beautiful, and consistent results.

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!

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!

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.”

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.

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.
