MediZen - Spring 2007 Newsletter
Hello and Welcome to the Medizen Newsletter for Spring 2007.
MediZen Pass Healthcare Commission Inspection with Flying Colours!

MediZen received initial registration approval by the Healthcare Commission in 2005. We were recently audited by a Government regulator working for the Healthcare Commission, and are proud to announce that in the ensuing report we met or exceeded every single standard that was measured.
Amongst other things the auditor noted:
“The inspection visit confirmed that the policies, procedures and intended practice outlined during the registration process are being followed consistently and to a high standard.”
“Staff training and development is of a high standard.”
“Risk assessments are in place for all areas of the clinic and are regularly reviewed.”
Although our aim is to operate our clinic to the highest possible standards, it’s satisfying when someone from outside of our business reports that we’re exceeding requirements!
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of our staff for their hard work and commitment in helping us to achieve this standard. We won’t, however, be “resting on our laurels” as we know that we’re not perfect, and we have lots of ideas that we still want to implement over the next year to, hopefully, further improve our service.

MediZen Featured on Central TV with New Smartlipo™ Laser Lipolysis Procedure
MediZen staff were excited to be recently interviewed and featured on Central TV news regarding our experience with Smartlipo™ laser lipolysis - which was introduced into the clinic late last year. As the first clinic in the Midlands to adopt this novel, high tech treatment for the reduction of small stubborn areas of fat, we have received a large number of enquiries from both the media and prospective clients interested in learning more about the procedure.
Over the last six months we have treated many people with laser lipolysis who want to reduce areas of fat resistant to diet or exercise, whilst greatly reducing the risks and recovery time associated with traditional procedures such as liposuction. No general anaesthetic is required, and post procedure swelling is effectively controlled so that clients need minimal or no recovery time that requires them to be absent from work.
Dr David Eccleston, MediZen’s lead clinician, comments:
“An additional benefit over liposuction that we are seeing with SmartLipo™ is that it helps to tighten skin to ensure that the resulting fat loss does not result in loose overlying skin.”

Mr Brannan who received treatment under his chin (see photographs above) and was featured in the news clip is one of the many men who have also received treatment using this procedure:
“As a former professional sportsman, I had reached a stage in my life where I realised I had got older and put on weight. I attempted to improve my health by exercising and diet, however there were pockets of fat that no amount of hard work would 'shift'. Then I heard of MediZen, and after expert consultation, I had Laser Lipolysis which targeted the areas I struggled with. This treatment has achieved considerable improvement without all the hard work.”

People Report Looking an Average of Five to Six Years Younger Following BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment
Top picture before BOTOX®, bottom picture 30 days after treatment
A first-of-its-kind analysis of data from multiple studies of over 249 people has found that a large proportion reported looking an average of five to six years younger than their current age after treatment for multiple upper facial lines with BOTOX®. As many as 63% of patients receiving BOTOX® reported looking younger than their current age after treatment for upper facial lines i.e., the vertical "frown" lines between the brows, crow's feet, or multiple facial lines in the forehead area - compared to just 23% of people receiving placebo (dummy injections).
Further analysis of results also showed that clients treated for multiple facial lines perceived that they looked younger than those who were treated with BOTOX® for vertical frown lines between the brows or crow's feet alone. This suggests that the overall, subtle smoothing in the appearance of facial lines achieved by treating multiple areas may be an important factor in a client’s perception of looking younger.
Annie Eccleston, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner at MediZen comments:
“This is an important piece of research as many studies on BOTOX® have relied on the practitioner to assess results of improvement in lines and wrinkles rather than focussing on the client’s overall perception of the benefits of this treatment. However, we have many clients who have been returning to MediZen for repeat treatments with BOTOX® – some for over 6 years now – and so are not surprised that the results outlined in this recent clinical study confirm what we hear every day from people visiting our clinic.”
The findings were presented at a recent American Academy of Dermatology meeting in San Diego, USA.
D.M.K. Alkaline Wash System for Hair Removal
The Danné Montague King Alkaline Wash system is a unique treatment designed to reduce fine, downy hair on the face and other parts of the body. This type of hair is usually dense and difficult to remove using electrolysis or laser hair removal.
Alkaline wash is an alkaline powder which is mixed into a paste and applied onto your skin by our practitioners for approximately 4-5 minutes. The treatment works by dissolving part of the underlying hair follicle causing release of the hair,leaving you with smooth hair free skin immediately after treatment.

After the first treatment the hair will normally grow back at its normal rate, but as treatments progress the re-growth will become slower. It is impossible to predict how many treatments will result in permanent hair reduction - which is achievable for some people using this method.
