Why choose Juvéderm fillers at Dermoperfection?

Why is Juvéderm so popular? This FDA-approved filler brand has been around for over 16 years, and is internationally renowned as a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment.

And we are proud to offer Juvéderm at our Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic! We have spent over 10 years bringing back confidence in our patients’ faces, and we can’t wait to welcome more of you in 2023.

One reason why Juvéderm is in-demand is its versatility, whether you want to fill fine lines and wrinkles, volumise and balance the lips, or sculpt and define the jawline and cheekbones. You could even combine multiple goals into one appointment – just ask your clinician during your consultation.

Another Juvéderm benefit is that their fillers are long-lasting – in fact, they are the only FDA-approved fillers that last for up to a year. Don’t forget, you can always book a top-up when advisable at our clinic to maintain optimal results.

Juvéderm fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid (HA), which occurs naturally in the body, thus creating natural results! They also contain lidocaine, which is a built-in anaesthetic, so if you’re wondering if fillers are painful, you can be assured there will be minimal discomfort. You can even resume normal life following your appointment with Dermoperfection.

How long do fillers take to administer? Your filler session should only take about half an hour, so can easily be slotted into your schedule. We dub these a “lunchtime treatment” – read more about all our lunchtime treatments here.

Juvéderm fillers are perfect as a standalone treatment, however you can combine them with other treatments at our Birmingham skin clinic, such as microneedling and anti-wrinkle injections.

If you want to see immediate, high-impact results with Juvéderm, but in the safest way possible, make sure you choose Dermoperfection – many clinics offer fillers, but not many of them have our level of expertise, and they may choose less trusted filler brands than Juvederm.

We also believe every patient is unique, so will create a bespoke filler plan just for you, and offer expert skincare advice following your treatment. So if you want to see the incredible effects of Juvéderm for yourself, book up your appointment today.

All you need to know about Profhilo aftercare

What should I expect following Profhilo? This is what we are often asked about one of our most popular injectable treatments at Dermoperfection!

As Profhilo is minimally invasive, you can expect little downtime and can resume most normal life shortly after, however we do have some aftercare recommendations so you can see optimal results.

Avoid rubbing the skin too hard

You may see small deposits initially after treatment, but this usually settles after a few hours. You don’t need to massage the skin for this to go down. 

Don’t go to the gym straight away

We suggest for the first 24 hours following treatment to avoid strenuous exercise, so you can give Profhilo time to work and to avoid it spreading to unintended areas. We also recommend not visiting any spas or saunas in this time. 

Schedule for when you’re having a night in

This is because make-up should not be worn for the first 24 hours, and alcohol should be avoided in this time too, as it increases the risk of bruising. 

And book in advance of any trips

Since extreme temperatures can affect the healing process following Profhilo, ensure you book your Profhilo treatment at least two weeks in advance of holidays (this will also mean you see optimal results whilst you are away)!

Use a daily SPF to protect your skin

We believe SPFs should be used daily no matter if you have had a treatment or not, or what time of year it is, but it is especially important to protect your skin following Profhilo, as it will be more sensitive. Here at Dermoperfection, we have SPFs from leading medical skincare brands like Obagi and PCA Skin!

Use arnica to clear bruising

It’s normal to see slight bruising following any injectable treatment, so arnica can be helpful when this appears. Do not use ibuprofen or aspirin in the first 48 hours to soothe the side effects. You may also benefit from using a cool compress on the skin following your Profhilo treatment (do not apply ice directly to skin though).

Do not book in for other aesthetic treatments for the first two weeks post-treatment

This includes facials, skin peels, microneedling, waxing and IPL. However, trusted clinicians like at Dermoperfection will never book a patient in when it is not safe to do so. 

These are our top aftercare pointers following Profhilo, but we will run through everything you need to know during your consultation. And if you have more questions, feel free to ask our expert team!

Want to try Profhilo and love your skin again with this revolutionary treatment? Book today with Birmingham’s most trusted Profhilo clinicians!

What is alopecia and how is it treated at Dermoperfection?

Did you know we can treat alopecia at Dermoperfection’s medical skin and cosmetic clinic right here in Birmingham?

Approximately 1 in 50 people will suffer from alopecia areata in their lifetime – this is regardless of gender, race or age, although many develop this before they turn 30.

There are 3 main types of alopecia:

Alopecia areata: Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss, areata means patch. This type of alopecia refers to baldness appearing anywhere on the body; from the scalp, beard, brows, and lashes to the wider bodyparts such as legs and armpits.

Alopecia totalis: Loss of all hair to the scalp

Alopecia universalis: Total loss of hair, globally.

Alopecia is a condition of the immune system, where hair follicles are attacked by white blood cells, resulting in them shrinking and stopping hair production. Patches are usually oval and small when they first appear, growing in size as the alopecia progresses. Genetics are known to play a part in alopecia development.

Milly, one of Dermoperfection’s patients, has told us about her treatment journey for alopecia:

“I was first diagnosed with alopecia ten years ago. After losing half a head of my blonde hair and confidence whilst trying every hair loss treatment available to me on the market, l had nearly given up all hope of recovery. I knew the trigger for alopecia was thought to be stress, but in truth, there is very little evidence that factually outlines the causes and stimulus for alopecia areata.

“Throughout my hair loss journey, I visited world-leading trichologists, bought every vitamin supplement under the sun, and even quit my high-powered media job in London, moving back to the country and retraining to be a nurse to try to live a more settled and structured life. I couldn’t find evidence of any treatment that worked until one-day, l came across a medical report documenting the hair growth experienced by alopecia candidates who trialled steroid injections to the scalp in collaboration with the oral steroid Predisalone.

“I was hesitant at first; I knew the contra-indications associated with steroids, such as a weakened immune system and weight gain, however, l was desperate. I put my faith in this new treatment and miraculously it worked! After the second treatment of topical steroid injections and two weeks’ worth of Predisalone, new fuzzy baby hair covered my bald patches! I also did not experience any weight gain and my immune system seemed to cope brilliantly.

I had trusted Stu at Dermoperfection with all aspects of my aesthetic treatments before and so knew he was the go-to professional to help me with my hair growth journey. Stu explained how steroids suppress the immune cells that are attacking hair follicles so that hair can regrow. And grow it did! To date, Dermoperfection has cured every bald patch l have developed and provided empathetic aftercare and emotional support throughout the process. No other practitioner l can recommend more highly than Stu at Dermoperfection. I am incredibly grateful for his kindness and hard work in facilitating my recovery.”

Don’t let anything hold you back – if you would like to treat alopecia and regain your confidence with Dermoperfection, book a consultation with us today.

Patient journey with Cosmelan at Dermoperfection

Mesoestetic Cosmelan is a revolutionary treatment that your skin deserves!

Want a truly effective solution to melasma, age spots, sun spots, superficial scars and uneven skin tone? Try Cosmelan’s skin peel, which is suitable for all skin tones and types, and produces life-changing, long-term results!

Requiring 10-12 days recovery time, this trademarked depigmentation solution promotes freshly healed healthy skin after a short period of intense peeling. 

Cosmelan targets the root cause of pigmentation, inhibiting the overproduction of tyrosinase so your skin remains beautifully clear in the months following treatment. 

What’s the experience of Cosmelan like for the patient though? Milly, who visited Dermoperfection for this treatment, says this:

“I can advocate for the transformative effects Cosmelan had upon my skin after trialling the treatment four months ago. My pigmentation issues came from years of using hair removal creams and laser treatments. I felt insecure and self-conscious about these markings on my face, so consequently would never go anywhere without foundation and heavy powder to cover these imperfections.

I visited Stu at Demoperfection for my initial Cosmelan consultation. Stu prescribed Cosmelan 1 (the initial skin peel) and Cosmelan 2 (the follow-up products). I had read up extensively on the intensity of the skin peel, along with the rave reviews of people across the world recommending the treatments, so I felt confident in my decision to proceed. 

Stu double-cleansed my skin to ensure the procedure was sterile. He then applied the thick mud-like coating of Cosmelan 1. I was worried l would feel some discomfort but in truth, the product smelt nice and goes on like any other mask, cooling and soothing. I was instructed to leave the product on my skin for 12 hours, it slowly dried and flaked, l washed off the residue and went to bed. Throughout the weeks that followed l adhered to phase 2, at-home treatments, these included the following.

Cosmelan 2: home depigmenting cream that intensifies the results of cosmelan 1, keeping melanin production under control and preventing the appearance of new skin spots.

Melan recovery: balm with soothing and restoring effect for sensitive and reddened skin. It helps soothe and restore the skin’s balance and comfort during the Cosmelan treatment.

Melan 130 pigment control: sunscreen with colour that helps control pigmentation. It protects the skin from broad-spectrum solar radiation and helps control skin pigmentation.

I was grateful for the masks l wore to work as a nurse, my skin did redden, flake and felt tight when l smiled or frowned. I kept my soothing balm with me at all times and rather than rubbing or picking at the skin, which can cause scarring, l simply applied the balm and avoided any makeup. 

Just as Stu had promised, after two weeks of peeling, a fresh, dewy skin shone through. The pigmentation above my upper lip l felt so embarrassed about was gone! The laser marks people previously had commented on had vanished, and my skin felt resurfaced. Today l wear the Mesoestetic sunscreen provided as part of the full Cosmelan treatment. l still don’t wear foundation and the compliments l receive about my skin have boosted my confidence. I can fully appreciate why Cosmelan receives 5-star reviews and acclaim across the world!”

Profhilo – why is it so popular?

The future of skincare is here with our hugely popular Profhilo treatment!

But what makes Profhilo special? This tweakment offers subtle rejuvenation to those who want to tighten the skin and improve hydration subtly but effectively. Patients love the younger, dewy and glowing complexion they notice afterwards!

We have offered Profhilo in our medical skin and cosmetic clinic for 5 years now, and so many of our patients have enjoyed the naturally noticeable results, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other aesthetic treatments, including DiamondGlow and professional skin peels.

Semi-permanent treatments like Profhilo are ideal if you are new to aesthetics, or want to switch to a more subtle alternative compared to anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.

Many have dubbed Profhilo an “injectable moisturiser”, delivering hyaluronic acid deeper into the skin than any topical HA serum could; what makes it so moisturising is that it helps the skin hold onto water more effectively. 

This means bounce and plumpness will be restored in your skin, and you will notice an overall healthier complexion.

Profhilo is what we call a lunchtime treatment, so it really doesn’t take long to rejuvenate your skin! The procedure involves 10 perfectly placed injections to reach your skin goals – you may feel slight pain when it’s administered, but it soon subsides, plus there is little downtime following your appointment.

Most patients have two to three sessions a month apart to see optimal results, which then last up to 6 months, but you can book your top-ups with our expert team to keep the incredible effects going.

You can expect to see rejuvenated skin after only a week, but optimal results are typically seen after 6-8 weeks, as this allows time for collagen and elastin to regenerate.

Although many patients opt for Profhilo on the face, this can also be applied to the body, treating skin laxity in key areas such as the neck, decolletage, arms and abdomen.

Do you love the sound of this ultimate skin refresh inside and out? Book a free consultation with Birmingham’s expert Profhilo clinicians at Dermoperfection to discover more!

Dermoperfection is now in The Tweakments Guide!

We are very excited to announce that Dermoperfection is now in The Tweakment Guide!

Tweakments have become hugely popular over the past couple of years – these are non-surgical procedures used to rejuvenate the skin. Some of our most popular tweakments include Profhilo, dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+!

The Tweakment Guide was created by Alice Hart-Davis, who has been writing about tweakments for over 20 years! In the past couple of years, she has used the guide to inform people on where to go to find outstanding practitioners.

And this is where we come in! You already know about our 10+ years’ experience and 25,000 treatments performed, and we are thrilled to feature in this valuable guide so new faces that want to be in the safest hands can find us.

To see Stuart, Dermoperfection’s founder and director’s practitioner profile on The Tweakments Guide, please click here.

Not only was Stu one of the earliest specialists to be selected for training for the multi-award winning Profhilo, but he is now one of the most experienced and reputable providers of this treatment!

As well as this, through his training at the Allergan Medical Institute, Stu is an expert in Juvéderm, one of the leading dermal filler brands available.

Our ethos is to create the “best version of you” and we want you to feel amazing both inside and out after your appointment with us!

At-home vs in-clinic microneedling: which is better?

Microneedling is one of the most popular treatments at our medical skin clinic, and we use the Mesoestetic m.pen[pro] to deliver the most effective results to our patients.

However, microneedling can also be done at home – even though it may be seen as a quicker or easier option, we think in-clinic microneedling treatments are worth the time and money!

But why is microneedling at a skin clinic better? This is why we suggest visiting us at Dermoperfection for this treatment:

  • Nothing beats experience – performing any treatment on yourself can be tricky, especially if you haven’t done it before, but our expert clinicians have been doing microneedling treatments for over 10 years!
  • Professional needles are longer – this means a greater absorption of the active ingredients, maximising results for skin conditions including hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, scars and stretch marks.
  • You can’t get the same device at home – only professionals can use a derma pen (at-home microneedling usually uses a derma roller); the derma pen is much gentler on the skin, making it almost pain-free.
  • You need fewer sessions – amazing results are visible after only one microneedling appointment with us, however we typically recommend a course of up to 6 sessions. In contrast, it takes 3-6 months of frequent microneedling at home to see a difference.
  • You can combine microneedling with other treatments in-clinic – some of Dermoperfection’s treatments that complement microneedling perfectly include dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections and professional-grade peels.

Your skin deserves the best, and we are the best in Birmingham for microneedling treatments! We also have a very special microneedling course offer, giving you 6 sessions for the price of 4 at just £600 (saving £300).

Choose Dermoperfection if you want to be in Birmingham’s safest hands – book your free consultation with us today.

Treating scars and stretch marks at Dermoperfection

Dermoperfection’s ethos at our medical skin clinic is to create the “best version of you” – and we want you to feel your very best in your own body!

Scars are formed by the body’s natural response to injury, where extra collagen is produced to heal the area, whilst stretch marks are streaks that appear on the skin’s surface due to growth or weight fluctuation.

We understand these can make you feel self-conscious, so we provide the most effective solutions to tackle these and bring back your confidence!

Our treatment recommendations for scars and stretch marks include:

Microneedling

Our Mesoestetic microneedling is a hugely versatile treatment for a host of concerns, including scarring and stretch marks! The skin is repeatedly punctured with tiny, sterile needles to boost collagen (this makes the skin firmer and tighter) and infuse the skin with active ingredients.

Our practitioners choose your microneedling solution based on what you want to tackle, and the skinmark solution is suggested for scars and stretch marks, as it stimulates cell repair and restructures breakage to provide elasticity and firmness to the affected areas.

INTRAcel Pro

Exclusively for you…it’s INTRAcel Pro!

We are exclusive providers of this treatment in Birmingham, which uses radiofrequency microneedling for an incredible tightening effect, which works perfectly for stretch marks.

INTRAcel Pro is also great for scarring, including those caused by acne – the thermal energy destroys the cause of acne, whilst resurfacing the skin to repair the scars. 

Profhilo

Profhilo is creating a huge amount of buzz for so many reasons – and you can add treating stretch marks to that list!

Profhilo is used on lax, crepey skin across the face and body, so you can effectively and naturally reduce stretch marks that are getting you down. 

DiamondGlow

Feel fantastic from head to toe with DiamondGlow!

Yes, that’s right, our DiamondGlow (formerly Envy) treatment can be used on the body, with its adjustable depth tip treating various concerns – the lower settings are chosen if you want to tackle stretch marks around the breasts and abdomen. 

DiamondGlow is also LOVED by patients for treating mild acne scarring, whilst leaving your skin feeling refreshed and re-energised. 

We ensure treatments are bespoke to you, whether you’re tackling scarring, stretch marks – or both! We may recommend a course of treatments for the most effective results or suggest a treatment combination for you.

Don’t forget, we’re always here for you! Our expert clinicians welcome any questions you have, and you can book a free, no-obligation consultation to discover more about your perfect treatment plan.

Remember, nothing beats experience – choose Birmingham’s most trusted clinic, Dermoperfection, for your aesthetic treatments!
