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!”

Common men’s skin concerns and Dermoperfection’s solutions

Everybody’s skin is different and deserves a bespoke treatment plan – especially when it’s created by Dermoperfection’s expert clinicians!

And as November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, we are looking at the skin concerns that commonly affect men and how to treat them at our Birmingham medical skin and cosmetic clinic. 

This includes:

Oily skin and acne – oil production in men’s skin tends to be double that of women’s, and that in turn can result in acne. This can especially be noticed underneath and around facial hair, and on the back. Some ways this can be treated includes:

  • DiamondGlow facial
  • INTRAcel Pro
  • Professional skin peels e.g., PCA Skin NoPeel Peel

Photoageing and hyperpigmentation – if you have had more exposure to the sun due to lifestyle, or don’t apply daily SPF, you may have noticed the appearance of age spots, lines and hyperpigmentation. However, this can be tackled with:

  • Mesoestetic Microneedling
  • INTRAcel Pro
  • Obagi Nu Derm 

Fine lines and wrinkles – although fine lines and wrinkles are a common sign of ageing for everyone, men tend to have deeper and more severe wrinkles than women. We have plenty of treatments for this at Dermoperfection, which we dub “bro-esthetics”, such as:

  • Profhilo
  • Anti-wrinkle injections
  • Dermal fillers (Juvederm and Aliaxin)
  • ULTRAcel Q+

Dark circles – whether its genetics, sleeping habits, sun exposure or ageing has given you dark circles under the eyes, we know they can make you feel self-conscious. So, we recommend:

  • Dermal fillers
  • Professional skin peels
  • Obagi/PCA Skin products

Hair loss – there’s many reasons why you may experience hair loss – this can be hereditary, hormonal changes, medical conditions or simply ageing. However, we have a Mesoestetic Microneedling solution for this, which can revitalise and strengthen your hair!

Do you want to restore confidence in your skin again? Speak to us! We welcome many male patients to our clinic, who want to see a real difference when it comes to looking after their skin. 

You won’t find a more trustworthy clinic for your treatments – we have over 40 years’ experience between us, so book a free consultation with our team today.

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!

Spooky myths about treatments and skincare

Spooky season has arrived, and there’s nothing scarier than these myths about aesthetic treatments and skincare!

Don’t let any of this trick you though – with Dermoperfection’s expert clinicians, we can treat you to a bespoke skin care plan based on your skin concerns and goals!

Here are some of the most common myths debunked:

Anti-wrinkle injections will leave you with a frozen face

We’ve all seen the “surgery gone wrong” articles with celebrities who have a “frozen face” – but our clinicians ensure anti-wrinkle injection results are natural and still allow for expression. We perfectly place your injection where lines and wrinkles have formed, for effortlessly anti-ageing effects. 

Or I will be left with a trout pout after lip fillers

Trusted clinicians would never inject too much into your lips – using leading brands Juvederm and Aliaxin, we typically inject 0.5-1ml of filler per session. We can safely add more volume in a top-up session, ensuring natural but noticeable results.

I’ll look older after treatments wear off

Don’t let this spook you off getting aesthetic treatments – in fact, after treatments like anti-wrinkle injections are repeated, there is less need to reapply to relax the muscle, and fine lines and wrinkles look better than their initial state after it has worn off. 

Aesthetic treatments are only for people of a certain age

We welcome a huge range of ages to our Birmingham skin clinic, from people looking to prevent future fine lines and wrinkles, to those who want to turn back the hands of time. Plus, aesthetic treatments aren’t only for anti-ageing – they work for acne, hyperpigmentation, scarring and general skin rejuvenation!

Surgery is the only option for meaningful results

The age of non-surgical treatments really is here, and Dermoperfection are specialists in them! None of our most popular options, including Profhilo, dermal fillers, INTRAcel Pro and ULTRAcel Q+, involve surgery, but they all offer both instant and long-lasting rejuvenation!

I have to pick only one treatment for my skin

With your bespoke treatment plan created by our expert clinicians, we may combine more than one treatment to give optimal results! However, our treatments are amazing standalone too. 

Aesthetic treatments are only for women

We welcome patients of all genders to our clinic! Some popular treatments for men are dermal fillers, for sculpting the chin and jawline, DiamondGlow to remove dirt and debris, unlocking healthy, glowing skin, and Microneedling, tackling concerns from hyperpigmentation to hair loss. 

If I can get the same treatment for cheaper then I should

Buy cheap, buy twice definitely applies to treatments! If you choose the cheapest option, you put yourself at risk of being with an untrained provider, with less trusted or even unsafe treatment brands that you’ll spend more money on correcting. 

Invest in the best with Dermoperfection’s team, who have 10 years of experience and have performed over 25,000 treatments, and use only the most trusted, award-winning treatment brands!

Proper skincare is a waste of money 

If you want to see meaningful results from your skincare routine, we recommend Obagi Medical and PCA Skin, the skincare brands we’re ambassadors for at Dermoperfection! Their products have higher levels of active ingredients and are designed for maximum penetration. They are also designed for more specific skin types and concerns compared to over-the-counter products.

Now we’ve disproved all these scaries, why not book a free consultation at Dermoperfection? We’re the best in Birmingham for aesthetic skin treatments! We can’t wait for you to visit us.

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!

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).

What is rosacea and how can it be treated?

What is rosacea?

This inflammatory condition is most commonly associated with redness of the face, particularly for those with fair skin. This affects millions of people here in the UK. 

This is susceptible to flaring up, often in cycles – many will experience symptoms for weeks or months at a time, then they will go away, and then return again.

Symptoms of rosacea include:

  • Redness and flushing
  • Red, pus-filled bumps
  • Tiny broken veins
  • Eye problems
  • Enlarged nose

To find out more about what rosacea is, visit our conditions page.

Is rosacea treatable?

Although there isn’t a cure for rosacea, Dermoperfection can offer solutions that can minimise your symptoms!

Our DiamondGlow facial can rejuvenate skin affected by rosacea – this treatment uses breakthrough 3 in 1 technology to simultaneously extract, exfoliate and infuse the skin. The professionals at our medical skin clinic then choose condition specific serums tailored to your needs. 

We can also make skin care recommendations with our Obagi range – the medical skin care brand we offer at our clinic, which we have been proud ambassadors of for 3 years now!

For example, if your rosacea flares up after sun exposure, we will recommend your perfect sunscreen for daily use, such as the Obagi Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF50.

And a daily essential for all, including rosacea sufferers, is the Obagi Hydrate moisturiser, which provides hydration for up to 8 hours. 

Unleash your skin’s full potential with a bespoke treatment plan created by Dermoperfection’s expert clinicians – we can’t wait to welcome you to Dermoperfection to help tackle rosacea!

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!

Thinking about anti-wrinkle injections? Here’s Dermoperfection’s lowdown!

Anti-ageing has never been easier than at Dermoperfection, Birmingham’s leading medical skin clinic – especially with our anti-wrinkle injections!

But what are anti-wrinkle injections? This treatment involves relaxing the muscles to stop them from creasing the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and restoring youthfulness.

This is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the UK, and it’s easy to see why – patients love the naturally smoother look this treatment offers.

It only takes a few minutes to administer the injections, using a small needle to ensure we only target your specific areas of concern.

The most common areas for these injections are the crow’s feet, frown lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds and hollow cheeks.

Typically, results can be seen after only a week, and you’ll see the effects for up to 6 months, making it long-lasting but not permanent.

Even though you’ll need top-up treatments to maintain amazing results, in time fine lines and wrinkles will reappear less severely because the muscles are shrinking.

You may experience slight bruising and swelling following this treatment, however this should subside quickly.

Anti-wrinkle injections can also be complemented by our other aesthetic treatments, including dermal fillers and microneedling!

Choosing the most trusted clinicians is essential for your anti-wrinkle injections – and our team has over 10 years experience and 25,000 treatments behind them!

Make your dream of youthful skin into reality – book your anti-wrinkle injections at Dermoperfection today.
