One of our most popular skin treatments is DermaV™. Designed to target a multitude of skin complaints and concerns, the DermaV™ laser effectively treats the likes of redness, facial spider veins and leg veins, rosacea and melasma, providing patients with access to a non-invasive solution with proven results. An advanced treatment with the power to minimise both vascular problems and pigmentation issues, DermaV™ is not only highly effective, but also boasts the benefits of minimal downtime and discomfort.

What does DermaV™ do for the skin?

DermaV™ is a multitasking treatment that incorporates the use of two different laser lights to effectively target the patient’s unique skin concerns.

If you are worried about the appearance of spider veins, rosacea and visible or broken capillaries, the DermaV™ laser draws its attention to the blood vessels, directly targeting the vessels and sealing them off. As a result, the unwanted blood vessels are left significantly less red, revealing a much clearer and more even overall skin tone.

If, on the other hand, you are concerned about hyperpigmentation, sunspots and/or melasma, the DermaV™ laser directly targets the excess melanin in the skin, effectively breaking it down and eventually, clearing it away entirely. The overproduction of melanin is what causes the appearance of dark spots on the skin; once this is removed, the skin is left visibly clearer and more even in tone.

What can I expect from the DermaV™ treatment?

During the procedure, patients will likely experience a certain level of discomfort that is similar to a slight burning sensation. As the laser gets to work, the device has a built-in cooling system, so when the laser light is activated the cooling system is also activated simultaneously for immediate comfort.

Once the laser treatment is complete, the skin is treated to a cool stream of air that helps alleviate the sense of tingling on the skin. Ice packs are applied to the treatment area for about 20 minutes after the procedure to remove the heat from the skin.

In the hours that follow the treatment, you may find that you experience some mild swelling and redness, but this shouldn’t last more than a day.

It is advisable not to drink alcohol a few nights before the treatment to avoid swelling and inflammation after the treatment.

How long does the DermaV™ treatment take?

DermaV is a fairly quick treatment, which tends to take between 30-60 minutes depending on the area of the skin that is being treated.

How many DermaV™ sessions will I need?

The volume of DermaV™ laser sessions that you will require depends entirely on the severity of your skin concern and the results that you want to achieve. We will discuss your desired results during a consultation and tailor the number of sessions required accordingly.

Does DermaV™ hurt?

The DermaV™ laser treatment doesn’t hurt, although some patients find the experience mildly uncomfortable. The sensation is often described as slightly tingly and warm, but this feeling is counteracted by a stream of cold air that is applied to the skin after the laser treatment has been performed.

Is DermaV™ safe for all skin types?

DermaV™ is a customisable treatment that is both suitable and safe for a variety of skin types and tones. It is unlikely, but if we have any concerns about your skin and how the treatment may affect it, we will discuss this during our consultation.

Are there side-effects to DermaV™?

DermaV™ is an incredibly popular treatment, and one of the best things about this treatment is the fact that there is virtually no downtime whatsoever. While some patients do experience redness and swelling, this usually subsides within a few hours, meaning that you can return to your daily tasks, plans and activities promptly.

Even the healthiest and most active among us are affected by loose skin and skin sagging. The likes of weight loss and ageing are just a couple of contributing factors that can play their part, but there are many reasons why our skin no longer looks tight and supple. And while there are creams and products on the market that claim to help target the issue, any topical solution will only offer a very short-term improvement, if at all.

If you are concerned about the look and feel of the skin on your body and you’re looking for a treatment that directly targets the issue of loose or sagging skin, BodyTite™ may just offer the perfect solution.

What is BodyTite™?

BodyTite™ is a clinically-proven and advanced body contouring treatment that not only tightens the skin, but simultaneously reduces the volume of fat in the part of the body that is being treated. Minimally invasive, this highly effective solution is perfect for those looking to attain a more sculpted and tighter-looking appearance, without the need for surgery.

The prospect of having to get surgery in order to achieve those desired results can be incredibly daunting, but thanks to BodyTite™, going under the knife is no longer a necessary course of action. Removing the need for general anaesthetic and prolonged downtime, this revolutionary procedure incorporates intelligent radiofrequency technology to provide advanced fat reduction and drastically improved skin firmness. A minimally invasive solution that directly targets the signs of skin sagging, looseness and lack of firmness, BodyTite™ exists to effectively contour the body without the need for surgery.

What does the BodyTite™ procedure involve?

This highly advanced, non-surgical treatment uses precise radiofrequency energy to liquify the body’s fat cells, all whilst tightening the surrounding skin. The result? A more toned and sculpted appearance with long-lasting effects. At Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics, the BodyTite™ procedure is carried out by expert cosmetic doctor, Dr. Vincent Wong, and plastic surgeon, Dr George Christopoulos in our Liverpool Childwall Clinic. Alternatively, Dr George Christopoulos is available for the procedure in our London Harley Street Clinic.

What are the benefits of BodyTite™

If you’re trying to decide whether or not to choose BodyTite™ instead of getting traditional surgical liposuction, there are a number of benefits to consider:

  • Skin tightening – BodyTite™ actively stimulates the production of collagen, resulting in firmer, tighter skin
  • Fat reduction – This treatment employs revolutionary radiofrequency energy to effectively liquify fat cells, in turn making them easier to remove
  • Minimal downtime – Unlike traditional liposuction, the recovery time after having the BodyTite™ procedure is minimal, making it perfect for those with busy schedule
  • Reduced scarring – Thanks to its much smaller incisions, the BodyTite™ procedure results in significantly less scarring
  • Suitable for multiple areas – BodyTite™ is a versatile treatment that can be used to treat a variety of areas including the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and the arms
  • Tailored results – Ahead of your treatment, we will discuss your desired results in detail to ensure that the achieved look is exactly as you hoped
  • The results are immediate – With BodyTite™, there’s no need to wait around to see how the procedure has turned out, as the results show straight away
  • No need for general anaesthetic – Unlike traditional surgical methods, BodyTite™ uses a local anesthetic, meaning that patients are awake but comfortable for the duration of the treatment

If you’d like to find out more about the BodyTite™ procedure, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us and we will be happy to advise you further.

Designed to restore the appearance of ageing skin, Morpheus8 is a revolutionary cosmetic treatment that uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency to provide the ultimate skin rejuvenation experience. A game-changer in the world of aesthetics, Morpheus8 exists to achieve unequalled anti-ageing results, without the need for invasive action.  From acne scars, skin sagging and wrinkles, to the formation of premature lines, this innovative treatment effectively reverses those tell-tale signs of skin ageing, and the results speak for themselves.

As we get older, a natural depletion of collagen and elastin causes our skin to lose the elasticity and firmness that it once had. The underlying fat beneath the surface of our skin also begins to decline, resulting in a lack of volume and ultimately, a less youthful appearance. Those key components that keep us looking fresh and radiant no longer regenerate in the way that they used to, which leaves us with a tired, more fragile-looking appearance. The likes of creams, serums and intensive topical treatments can help provide a short-term fix to the problem, but even the most advanced, professional-grade skincare products are unable to target the root of the issue.

Whatever your primary concern may be – skin sagging, wrinkles, skin folding, fine lines or a combination of many different complaints – Morpheus8 provides clients with a non-invasive treatment that’s clinically proven to visibly revive and restore ageing skin. Dry, thinning skin is notably renewed after just one treatment and that enviably youthful glow is restored.

How does Morpheus8 work?

The risks and health considerations relating to more invasive treatments like face lifts can cause concern for prospective clients. Fortunately, Morpheus8 offers a non-invasive solution with incredible results that last. During this treatment, precise radio frequency energy is deeply penetrated into the dermal layer of the skin, effectively stimulating dormant fibroblasts and actively encouraging the immediate production of fresh collagen and elastin. These two components are the key elements in rebuilding a smoother, firmer complexion, and while results are immediately visible, they also continue to improve over time. Essentially, the collagen that sits within the dermal layer of the skin is remodelled, resulting in a lifting and plumping effect that leaves the skin visibly tighter and firmer.

What to expect during your Morpheus8 treatment?

Morpheus8 combines professional microneedling and radiofrequency energy in order to achieve revolutionary and transformative results.

Microneedling

The treatment begins with a microneedling session. During this session, small needles penetrate into the skin to create a continuation of carefully-controlled incisions that naturally stimulate the body’s response to heaving. In turn, this results in the production of collagen, the essential skin-firming protein that we lack as we begin to age.

Radiofrequency Energy

As the needles penetrate the skin, Morpheus8 actively targets those deeper layers of the skin, delivering transformative radiofrequency energy that heats those underlying skin tissues for a further stimulation of collagen production and skin tightening.

Morpheus8 results

If you proceed with the Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect to achieve the following results:

  • Both superficial and deep lines around the eyes significantly smoothened
  • Deep-set perioral lines around the mouth area notably reduced
  • Laxity and sagging of the jaw directly targeted, resulting in a more defined jawline
  • Tightened tissue on both the decolletage and neck area
  • Skin beneath the chin significantly tightened, helping to minimise the appearance of a double chin

Why should I get the Morpheus8 treatment?

If you’re wondering ‘should I get Morpheus8’, hopefully this will help you to make an informed decision. Morpheus8 is a revolutionary, non-invasive aesthetic treatment that aims to dramatically improve not only the appearance, but long-term health of ageing skin. This versatile treatment can be used on the neck, arms and abdomen, as well as the face, and it has been rigorously trialled and tested to prove that it is entirely safe for all skin tones and types. If you are concerned about your ageing skin and you’re looking for a non-surgical solution, Morpheus8 is the perfect treatment for you.
