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.

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!

There’s plenty online about millennial treatment must-haves and the ultimate skincare in your 30s, so sometimes it’s difficult to know what’s actually best.

As you enter your 30s, you may start to notice facial ageing, although this varies from person to person. Some of these signs include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of skin elasticity
• Uneven skin texture and tone
• Hollowing or loss of volume
• Dark circles and under-eye bags
• Dull complexion
• Sun spots and hyperpigmentation

And this is where the experts at Dermoperfection’s Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic can help! We recommend:

Adopt a consistent skincare regimen

Instead of hopping on every skincare fad as it comes along, invest in the best with the medical grade skincare at Dermoperfection, with leading brands Obagi, PCA Skin and Mesoestetic available in-clinic.

We suggest Vitamin C based products, such as the Obagi Professional-C range to improve brightness and boost collagen production (to keep you looking youthful). Another essential for maintaining young skin is retinols, the buzzing anti-ageing ingredient at the moment that helps surface skin turnover.

We also have all your usual must-haves, from cleansers to toners and everything in between!

Protect your skin against the sun

SPFs aren’t just for holidays – we recommend using sun protection every day, as it very importantly reduces the risk of skin cancer, alongside preserving collagen, preventing premature ageing and reducing pigmentation issues.

There’s never a better time to start adding SPFs into your daily routine, but it’s especially important if it wasn’t your focus during your teens and 20s. Our skincare experts will guide you on your sun protection essentials from Obagi and PCA Skin. 

Think forward with your treatments

The 30s is the key decade to both reduce the first signs of ageing and prevent any further fine lines and wrinkles you will see beyond this time. Dermoperfection are Birmingham’s anti-ageing specialists, with a range of injectables and other non-invasive options for preserving youthfulness.

This includes Profhilo, the “injectable moisturiser” that also offers a subtle approach to anti-ageing, dermal fillers from Juvederm and Aliaxin to fill fine lines and redefine your cheeks and jawline, and anti-wrinkle injections, the top anti-ageing cosmetic treatment available.

Don’t forget about body confidence

It’s normal to experience changes in your body in your 30s, especially after pregnancy, but we have a huge range of body treatments to help you feel fabulous all over. This includes EMSCULPT, the muscle building and fat burning treatment that gives results equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups per session, and ULTRAcel Q+, which uses HIFU to reduce stubborn fat deposits permanently.

Tackle ongoing concerns such as acne

If you haven’t seen the back of acne and scarring in your 30s, we have the most effective long-term solutions, such as INTRAcel Pro, PCA Skin peels and Mesoestetic Microneedling. These can then be complemented with skincare products from our unbeatable range.

We pride ourselves on creating the “best version of you” with our world class treatments; Tom said: “This place never disappoints. You can trust the staff here. They will only recommend treatment if you need one. Results are always amazing.”

Book your complimentary consultation with our Birmingham team today and let’s make your 30s your most skin and body confident time yet!

We are so excited for our new collaboration with The Laser Fix at Dermoperfection, Birmingham’s leading medical skin and cosmetic clinic!

The Laser Fix is the only place in the Midlands that you can get these laser skin services, so you won’t find the incredible rejuvenating results anywhere else!

What is BBL + Moxi? These are two next generation treatments that can be used together to regenerate and restore your skin, whilst combatting concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, rough texture and enlarged pores.

They are very versatile treatments that can be used on the face, chest, shoulders, back, arms, hands and more.

BBL + Moxi is popular with younger patients too, who want to take preventative ageing measures and maintain skin youthfulness!

You can find out more about BBL + Moxi here.

Forever Bare uses BBL, but instead as a laser hair removal solution! This is a great alternative to traditional hair removal methods, ensuring all unwanted hair is tackled. This is also adjustable to different skin types!

Dermoperfection is proud to be treatment pioneers, bringing the latest world class treatments to our purpose-built clinic in The Mailbox. So we are very pleased to collaborate with The Laser Fix to broaden the options available to patients right here in Birmingham. 

Don’t forget that with laser treatments, you will need a patch test first along with an initial consultation. So if you want to start your laser skincare journey with The Laser Fix at Dermoperfection, book today!

We’ve officially been at our purpose-built clinic in The Mailbox for 6 months now!

We’re so grateful for all our patients’ support in this new chapter for our Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic.

As well as continuing with our leading range of treatments, we have some new additions since our expansion to reach more of your skin and body goals!

EMSCULPT has been creating a huge buzz since its introduction earlier this year, with patients raving about the sculpting and toning results for the body – it’s the perfect treatment to enhance your fitness goals and get you summer ready!

We hosted an EMSCULPT party back in March too, and we loved seeing everyone come along to our clinic to enjoy complimentary taster sessions and learn more about this pioneering treatment. You can read more about EMSCULPT here.

EMSELLA is another exciting addition to the Dermoperfection range, giving you real results for the treatment of incontinence! We introduced EMSELLA at our party, and now have this treatment available for individual sessions and courses.

Men and women can see the effects of EMSELLA, as it improves urinary incontinence, strengthens the pelvic floor and enhances sexual wellness. Find out more about EMSELLA here.

Another speciality at Dermoperfection is anti-wrinkle injections; we now offer 2 leading anti-wrinkle brands to create the results you desire for treating glabellar lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines and more.

Our clinic in The Mailbox is a go-to for medical skincare brands too – as well as being an Obagi ambassador clinic, we are also a PCA Skin flagship store in Birmingham, so you’re guaranteed to find the essentials for your bespoke skincare routine!

This has been a very busy and rewarding 6 months for us, and we can’t wait for the next 6! Stay up to date with the latest news from Dermoperfection by signing up for our newsletter, and follow us on social media.

Mesotherapy, available at Dermoperfection, Birmingham’s leading medical skin and cosmetic clinic, is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that uses very fine needles to inject a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid into the skin. 

This offers ultimate rejuvenation, and safely and effectively treats the areas of the skin mostly around the eyes, including the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles. 

Other mesotherapy benefits include improving skin elasticity, brightening complexion, boosting hydration, preventing oxidative stress and reducing pigmentation.

These injections are mostly painless, especially when performed by expert clinicians like at our clinic. The results of mesotherapy can be seen almost immediately, and then are enhanced over the course of a few weeks, which then lasts for several months.

Even after one session you can see desirable results, which makes it ideal for pre-event rejuvenation! However, we recommend a course of treatments for optimal effects – your clinician at Dermoperfection will advise you on this during your mesotherapy consultation. 

Mesotherapy is the perfect standalone treatment, or can be combined with other in-demand treatments including skin peels, dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections. 

So if you want to say goodbye to a dull, tired complexion and hello to a refreshed look, mesotherapy may be a great option for you – consult our expert team today to discover if this is ideal for your skincare journey. 

Mesoestetic Mesotherapy is available here in Birmingham at our purpose-built clinic in The Mailbox today – book your free consultation here. 

Wondering how to get rid of pigmentation issues? Dermoperfection is here to tell you all about the best treatments for removing hyperpigmentation!

Dermoperfection is the leading skin and cosmetic clinic in Birmingham with over 10 years experience in the industry, performing 25,000+ treatments in this time. 

Two of the leading treatments offered in our city centred based skin clinic are Dermamelan and Cosmelan.

Dermamelan and Cosmelan are safe and effective treatments for reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation; these are from the world renowned skincare brand Mesoestetic.

We are proud to be providers of both of these pioneering treatments at Dermoperfection’s medical skin and cosmetic clinic in The Mailbox, Birmingham!

What is hyperpigmentation? This is a common skin condition that causes skin to become darker than the surrounding areas; this is due to excess melanin, the pigment that gives the skin its colour. Hyperpigmentation is caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure (photoageing), hormonal changes and genetics.

Mesoestetic Dermamelan and Cosmelan are highly-effective medical grade skin peels that use a unique blend of ingredients to lighten and even out skin tone, and help remove pigmentation issues, such as dark spots and melasma, permanently. This works to reduce the amount of melanin in the skin, whilst also exfoliating the skin’s surface. 

These treatments take around 30 minutes – there is no downtime after this, so you can resume normal activities straight after your appointment! However you may see peeling in this time, so make sure you protect your skin with an SPF.

These amazing results then last for up to 6 months, in which time you will see a significant improvement in the appearance of your skin, and a reduction in hyperpigmentation. We can then book you in for top-ups to continue your depigmentation journey. 

Patients love our pigmentation treatments – Astrid said that our aesthetics clinic “is a one-stop shop for all your skincare concerns and treatments. From texture to pigmentation issues, Stu has strong experience and knowledge on what best suits each individual’s needs.”

We also have lots of medical grade skincare products to maintain your results at home – you can view these here.

Ready for skin confidence this summer? Choose Dermamelan or Cosmelan, a safe and highly effective treatment for the results you desire – our expert clinicians can advise on which is the treatment for you!

Visit us at Dermoperfection’s clinic in The Mailbox, Birmingham to discover more – book a consultation here or call 0121 439 350.

Want the effects of a BBL but without surgery? Try EMSCULPT, the brand new treatment available at Dermoperfection to sculpt and tone the buttocks non-invasively!

Brazilian butt lifts have grown in popularity over the years, however they have been panned for being dangerous. Plus, with patients looking for a more natural look, treatments like EMSCULPT make a safer and more effective alternative.

BBLs are a surgical treatment, therefore involve incisions to create this fuller, more sculpted look. However, surgery comes with scarring and a downtime period – you can expect a recovery time of up to 6 weeks for a BBL.

EMSCULPT comes with very little downtime – other than mild discomfort in the first 2 days following treatment, you can resume normal life straight after treatment!

Another benefit of EMSCULPT is that you don’t require the extra deposit of fat needed for a Brazilian butt lift.

Instead, EMSCULPT uses high intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to stimulate muscle contractions beyond what can be achieved at the gym. This builds the muscles and therefore has fabulous sculpting and toning effects.

Just one EMSCULPT session is equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups!

And there’s more – EMSCULPT can be used beyond the butt, so you can enjoy these effects on the abs, abdomen and calves too! You can even combine multiple areas in one appointment so you can feel toned all over.

To read more about the pioneering EMSCULPT, head to our treatment page here.

Plus, EMSCULPT is a more cost effective alternative to BBL – a single session of EMSCULPT at our Birmingham clinic costs £300 (we typically recommend 4 sessions for optimal results), whereas the average cost of a BBL in the UK is £7000. We also have course offers available to maintain the incredible effects.

So if you want to tone up your butt with safe and stunning results, come along to Dermoperfection, Birmingham’s leading provider of EMSCULPT! Find us at Unit 56 The Mailbox in our purpose-built medical skin and cosmetic clinic.

Get the youthful, radiant skin you’ve always wanted with dermal fillers at Dermoperfection, located in the heart of Birmingham!

What are dermal fillers? Dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment for improving the appearance of your skin! Some of their uses include to reduce wrinkles, add volume to the lips and define the cheeks and jawline.

At our medical skin and cosmetic clinic, we only use the highest quality Juvéderm and Aliaxin dermal fillers, which are made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found in the skin, to help plump up the skin and restore its youthful look!

Our dermal fillers are injected into the skin with a small needle. This procedure is usually painless and takes just a few minutes.

The results are visible almost immediately! However, the full results may take a few days or weeks to show. 

Dermal fillers last a few months to a year; if you are happy with the results, you can book top-ups to maintain the effects!
