With summer holidays and other adventures back on the cards for 2022, feeling confident in yourself is a must.

We are exclusive providers for INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+ here in Birmingham, and you may have heard of these in regard to giving the glow back to your face, but where else can these treatments help?

INTRAcel Pro is our fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment, which not only corrects loose jowls, sagging skin under the chin, and fine lines on the face, but can also target sagging skin on tummy, arms, buttocks, knees and legs.

This treatment also corrects unwanted bulges that are commonly found following pregnancy or weight loss. Stretch marks and scars can also be targeted during INTRAcel.

A common skin concern is acne and acne scarring, and we know this can go beyond the face, so we definitely recommend this treatment to bring back confidence in your skin.

ULTRAcel Q+ uses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to treat wrinkles, tighten and contour the skin both on the face and body.

HIFU boosts the production of collagen, which gives the skin its youthfulness. It also improves skin tone and texture, and targets stubborn fat deposits.

The benefits to the face are lifting the forehead, brows, mid and lower face, and neck, as well as tightening the chin, jaw and neck. Beyond this, ULTRAcel’s treatment areas on the body include the arms, legs, stomach, flanks, back, thighs and buttocks.

Since there’s a crossover in the benefits of INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+, we have combined them for our limited Ultralift offer this February. This deal gives you two of each treatment for only £1150, compared to the original price of £1600!

The Ultralift course is only available until the end of February 2022, so book your consultation with us today and let’s begin the journey to loving your body!

Profhilo is the on-trend treatment creating a real buzz in clinic at the moment! This injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue, for naturally radiant results.

As with any treatment, maintaining a good skincare routine afterwards is of great importance, which is why we are offering FREE Profhilo Haenkenium cream when you book your Profhilo with us this February.

But what is Profhilo Haenkenium cream? This topical formulation provides immediate skin hydration, natural antioxidant protection and long-term accumulative skin rejuvenation results.

This contains HA similarly to the injectable treatment, combined with Salvia Haenkei extract to enrich the formula and slow down the degradation of hyaluronic acid, prolonging the benefits of Profhilo even further.

Other benefits of using this cream include protection against premature ageing, caused by oxidative stress factors, such as diet, pollution and smoking, and counteracts damage from UV exposure.

Haenkenium also restores the skin barrier, skin hydration, firmness, elasticity and tone, as well as improving the quality, health and appearance of skin by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, and alleviating skin irritation and redness, especially after your treatment.

This limited offer is too good to miss, so make sure you book your free consultation with us during February and experience the power of a Profhilo procedure and Haenkenium cream.

If you’re looking for a non-invasive suture procedure with beautiful results right here in Birmingham, Silhouette Soft at Dermoperfection may be the treatment for you.

You may have some questions about how this suture lift works, so we’ve covered some of the Silhouette Soft FAQs!

• Why should I choose a Silhouette Soft thread lift?

It is the ideal treatment if you are looking for a non-invasive procedure that targets sagging of the cheeks and jawline, and laugh lines. It stimulates the skin’s collagen to create a firm, youthful appearance on the face.

• How does Silhouette Soft work?

A suture is placed around the treatment area, with special cones to hold it into place. These then help reposition the skin to give a lifted appearance.

• Who can have this treatment?

We will book you in for a consultation to decide on the suitability. It won’t be advised if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have a history of autoimmune diseases, or under 18. If you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to any of the components of Silhouette Soft, we will also advise against the procedure.

• Is Silhouette Soft safe?

The Silhouette Soft technique took several years to research and develop, and is now carried out by the most trusted professionals. We are also CQC registered, which ensures our medical staff are working to the highest standard.

• Will it hurt?

Silhouette Soft is performed under local anaesthetic. You will be able to resume normal life the next day, but full recovery usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks.

• Are there any side effects? 

Some patients have experienced temporarily rippled, puckered skin or light bruising. Medical risks may include infection, scarring and pain, however this is unlikely.

• How long will the results last?

The results of a Silhouette Soft suture lift can last up to two years, however we can give you an individual estimation based on your age, skin, the amount of sutures and placement.

• What do you recommend for aftercare?

Sun protection is vital; we always recommend wearing an SPF daily regardless of treatment. Also, avoid touching the treatment areas in the recovery period and avoid areas of intense heat e.g. saunas. Paracetamol may be helpful for any pain after the procedure.

Are you looking to target the signs of hyperpigmentation? Then Dermamelan may be the treatment for you!

Dermamelan is a skin peel that utilises organic acids to remove and suppress melanin, the cells that cause pigmentation. This treatment is suitable for all skin types – although it was designed for those with particularly bad pigmentation, it can also be used for minor pigmentation or sun damage as a quick fix.

Some of the pigmentation concerns this treatment can target include chloasma and melasma, which are brown patches on the skin occurring during hormonal changes, such as after pregnancy or using a contraceptive pill. It also treats post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne, and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage.

Additional benefits include more hydrated skin, reduced pore size, regulated sebum production and rejuvenation of the skin’s surface.

You will see results from your treatment within a week, and will see 80% improvement within the first month. To maintain this, ensuring you have a good skincare routine is vital, so we will advise you to use Dermamelan’s products following the peel. You may also require a top up treatment, usually after six months.

As with most of our treatments, avoiding direct exposure to the sun in the first week after Dermamelan is vital, and we recommend incorporating a sunscreen of at least SPF30 into your daily routine. You may also experience skin peeling in this time, so avoid picking or peeling off your skin as this can slow down recovery.

If you would like to find out more about this treatment and book a consultation with us, please don’t hesitate to book in for a free, no-obligation consultation!

Silhouette Soft is the non-surgical facelift procedure that many celebrities appear to be opting for. Even the current trend of eyebrow lifting, with the Fox Eye thread, produces a significant change in look without the need for surgery. As technology and science in aesthetics advance, there is a decreasing need to go under the knife to obtain transformative results. We have a variety of non-surgical facelifts available, including ULTRAcel Q+ and INTRAcel Pro, which encourages the body’s natural production of collagen – you can find more about these services here!

Silhouette Soft is a revolutionary method that provides a dual lifting and renewing effect, by using resorbable sutures (stitches) with bidirectional cones that are totally resorbable in 12-18 months. This therapy consists of two steps: firstly with a lifting technique that produces immediate but natural looking results. The exit and entrance locations are numbed before the thread is slipped beneath the skin, and emerges at the patient’s designated exit spot. The focal region is then redefined by compressing and lifting the tissue as soon as the threads are in place. The treatment allows sagging, wrinkled or loose skin to be lifted and reverses the effects of collagen loss caused by ageing, lifestyle and sun damage.

Volume action is also an included benefit in this breakthrough treatment, giving gradual and natural results. The cones aid the skin’s natural collagen production, further redefining the treated region. Collagen is responsible for plumping, hydrating and keeping the skin youthful. Silhouette Soft is the only product on the market that does both of these tasks, which makes it a highly in-demand treatment, with results lasting between 12-18 months on average, and can be repeated as and when the patient needs.

Silhouette Soft can be used to treat the jowls, cheeks, jawline, neck, and eyebrows, and takes around 30 minutes to complete the procedure. Depending on the region treated, it can be just one or several threads used.  This procedure can be used alone, or in combination with anti-wrinkle treatments such as Botox and Dermal Fillers depending on the desired results.

Silhouette Soft is a fantastic treatment offering our patients an incredible non-surgical face-lift, with instantaneous long lasting results. If you would like to know more about this treatment please speak to our specialists today and click here to book your youth restoring treatment!

• What is INTRAcel Pro?

INTRAcel Pro works by stimulating the body’s natural production of fresh collagen in the skin. It can be used to target skin concerns such as acne scarring, skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, and large pores, with patients reporting results after just one treatment!

It works by using radio-frequency (RF) microneedling technology to promote the body’s natural ability to rejuvenate. INTRAcel Pro is classed as a medical device and has been FDA approved since 2017, Dermoperfection is proud to be the leading provider of the service in the Midlands.

• How does it work?

Insulated needles are used in a stamping fashion, releasing radio-frequency waves from the needle tips that produce a heat effect at the tip without damaging the upper layers of the skin. This triggers cellular turnover and harnesses the body’s natural healing response.

• What areas will be treated?

It is most commonly used on the face, neck and décolletage, however other areas include the hands, and where there is scarring and stretch marks.

It’s good for skin tightening and lifting, improving skin texture and tone, reducing pore size, improvement in acne scarring and surface irregularities. It’s also effective in treating active acne in reducing oil production, and is one of the few treatments suitable for neck rejuvenation.

• When is the use of INTRAcel Pro not recommended?

We cannot use INTRAcel Pro in the case of infections and open skin at the site of the treatment area or active cystic acne.  People with an implanted defibrillator, mechanical heart valves, pacemaker or any other device affected by radiofrequency cannot receive INTRAcel treatment. It is also not approved for anyone who is pregnant or currently breastfeeding.

• Can INTRAcel Pro be preventative?

Yes! The collagen stimulation effect can prevent skin from sagging and creasing as much as it usually would.

• Will I have a consultation first?

Yes, as with all the procedures we offer, you will have a free no obligation consultation to make sure INTRAcel is right for you and to tailor your treatment for the results you’re hoping to achieve.

• Does it hurt?

Topical anaesthesia is applied prior to the treatment, to minimise discomfort. Please aim to arrive an hour before your appointment for this cream to be applied.

• Is there any downtime following this procedure? 

Yes, you can return to your daily life afterwards – there will be some redness and swelling during the first day, but after that you should be fine.

You can wear make-up after the treatment, but make sure you apply an SPF to your skin first for protection.

• Does INTRAcel Pro cause bruising?

Most people do not bruise after INTRAcel, but occasionally there may be bruising around the eye area as the skin is thin here.

If you are prone to bruising, we recommend using arnica or bromelain to help reduce it.

• How soon will I see the effects?

There will be an immediate improvement in the texture of the skin in the first few days after treatment, however the best results will be noticed two to four months after.

• Will I look natural?

Yes – INTRAcel Pro doesn’t cause any volume change in the skin, simply some contraction. Collagen stimulation means the skin will not only tighten but look more vibrant and healthy too. Due to the nature of the procedure INTRAcel Pro also does not affect facial movements.

• Does INTRAcel Pro dissolve dermal fillers?

There is some evidence suggesting that having energy-based treatment over an area previously injected with dermal fillers will lead to inflammatory changes. However, there have not been any reported detrimental effects.

• How often will I need to have treatments?

After the initial course of three treatments, patients will usually have one every six to twelve months.

• Will I need a check-up afterwards?

You won’t need to, but of course you’re welcome to book in for a review or just a coffee and a catch up with the team.
