Joanne Rotherham, a 38-year-old speech and language therapy assistant from Oldbury has received the SmartLipo treatment to her hips and inner thighs at MediZen. She said:

“I have always struggled to shift fat from my thighs and hips. It doesn’t matter how much I diet and exercise, it just won’t budge. The SmartLipo treatment was pain free and I couldn’t believe how quickly I was up and about feeling completely fine and was back at work the very next day. The results usually take around a couple of months to show, but I can see a difference already and the areas are definitely smoother. I’m looking forward to the final result.”

MediZen to Open New Training and Clinical Trial Centre

The concept of effective “non surgical” (i.e. anything that doesn’t involve a scalpel and a surgeon!) medical aesthetic treatments is still very new. Although different products and procedures have become available in the last couple of years – many are still poorly evaluated before they are launched to an unsuspecting public. In addition, training provided by distributors of some of these products can be, frankly speaking, appalling.

Meet our new Customer Services Specialist… We would like to introduce you to Ann Booth, the latest addition to the MediZen team. Ann has many years experience in a variety of management and customers service rolesandwill usually be the first person that you speak to for telephone enquiries and bookings for our services.

Out of Hours Phone Service     Our regular clients may have noticed that we now employ an “out of hours” phone service. This operates 365 days a year so that enquiries receive a “human voice” rather than an answerphone - it ensures that, in the unlikely event of any concerns following treatment, you will always be able to get in touch with someone who can provide appropriate advice.

Women's Skin Tone Influences Perception Of Beauty, Health And Age

A new study is revealing that wrinkles aren't the only cue the human eye looks for to evaluate age. Facial skin colour distribution, or tone, can add 10-12 years to a woman's perceived age.

The study, published in the latest issue of the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour, used three-dimensional imaging and morphing software to remove wrinkles and furrows from pictures of women, leaving skin tone as the only variable. Researchers were then able to determine exactly what impact facial skin tone has on how young, healthy and attractive people perceive the women to be. Faces with more even skin tone were judged to be younger.

"Until now, behavioural scientists have mostly ignored the overall homogeneity and colour saturation of a person's skin," says lead researcher Dr. Karl Grammer. "This study points out that wrinkles aren't the only visual cue to a woman's age.”

"Skin tone and luminosity may be a major signal to suitors of a woman's attractiveness, as well as of her assumed age," said Grammer, who is founder and scientific director of the Ludwig-Boltzmann-Institute for Urban Ethology at the University of Vienna, Austria.

Dr Eccleston comments:

“Although we can, and do, effectively reduce wrinkles with the use of Botox® and Dermal Fillers for many of our clients – I do agree with Dr Grammer that a clear complexion is just as important as an indicator of overall skin health and attractiveness. MediZen have been helping both men and women to improve their skin tone and texture with a variety of different techniques over the last 7 years – some of these are surprisingly simple. For example – the choice of a good, active skin care range such as SkinCeuticals, may be all that is required to achieve and maintain healthy even toned skin.

For more difficult to treat pigmentation or thread veins a few simple treatments with our Laser or Intense Pulsed Light system can rapidly reduce their appearance and normalise skin tone – as in the example below”
