MediZen - New Treatments and Special offers for the Summer

AwardMediZen is proud to have been awarded the title “Best UK Medical Aesthetic Clinic” in the first National Award ceremony held to celebrate the increasingly popular field of Aesthetic Medicine.

 

Skincare Specialist Sarah Cox (centre left) and Clinic Manager Ann Booth (centre right) received the award on behalf of MediZen from the Aesthetic Medicine Industry Awards representatives at a recent ceremony held in London.

 

This was the first industry award of its kind judged by an expert group of Doctors, Nurses, Analysts, and Consultants working in the field of Medical Aesthetics.

“It’s an honour to receive recognition from our peers” comments Ann Booth, Clinic Manager at MediZen.

“We always strive to ensure that we deliver quality advice and treatment in a friendly environment. In addition our focus on clinical trials and training ensure that we are always learning and improving what we do. It’s great to know that we can truly compete with the best that Harley Street has to offer!” 
 
DavidDoctor David Eccleston Presents Clinical Trial Results on Vavelta™ – A New Treatment for Acne Scarring
 
Vavelta 

Our Clinical Director, Dr David Eccleston, was recently invited to speak at FACE - the UK’s largest medical conference devoted to facial medical aesthetics and held at the Royal College of Physicians in London.
He presented results from his clinical study on the use of human allogeneic fibroblasts (live cells that produce collagen) for the treatment of acne scars. MediZen was chosen as the first centre in the world to trial this innovative new procedure for the treatment of acne scars. Injections containing a suspension of millions of fibroblast cells were injected into scarseventually resulting in a significant improvement in their appearance in the majority of trial volunteers treated.

 

This new procedure is now being launched through a very small number of UK clinics as a new treatment option for shallow acne scars on the face and body. For more information or to book a consultation with Dr Eccleston please phone 0121 308 4373.

 
 
 
NEW – Breast Contouring without Implants

As one of a few select, trained clinics in the UK, we can offer you the opportunity to have fuller and firmer breasts with Macrolane™, a new and innovative non-permanent treatment for enhancing breast shape and size and improving body contours without major surgery or long recovery periods.


Macrolane™ is the first body shaping treatment using hyaluronic acid – a natural substance that we have used at MediZen for many years for lip enhancement, wrinkle reduction and facial contouring.

Market research has shown there to be a significant number of women who would like to adjust the shape of their body in a natural, non-permanent way that does not involve the use of implants or body fat in a major surgical procedure. 

Many women are also very hesitant about undergoing general anaesthesia or being left with large scars often associated with permanent breast implant procedures.  Macrolane™ can be injected into the area requiring additional volume using local anaesthetic. The procedure is short and requires only minimal time away from work or after-work activities.

Macrolane is natural, non-permanent and has a good safety profile, with the technology used for Macrolane having been used for over 10 years. Breast shaping in addition to improvement in volume of (on average) one cup size can be achieved using this procedure. The effect of a treatment lasts about 12 months, when it becomes time for a “top up” to retain the desired results.

You can also phone 0121 308 4373 for more details and to book a free consultation with one of our nurse practitioners or to talk to a member of our clinical staff who has personally undertaken treatment with Macrolane™. 

 

NEW – Micropigmentation Service

 

Imagine waking up every morning without having to spend time pencilling in your eyebrows, perfecting your eye liner, lip liner or covering a scar before you go out and start the day. 

 

When applied correctly, micropigmentation (permanent make-up) is designed to subtly enhance your natural features and put back what Mother Nature has forgotten or taken away over the years. Permanent cosmetic paramedical work can also be a godsend for people whose daily life is affected by the issues they face.

 

MediZen are pleased to announce that Cathy Brown, who is local to Sutton Coldfield and is recognised as a leading UK practitioner and trainer in the art of Permanent Make-Up, is now running a regular micropigmentation and medical tattoo clinic at MediZen.

Cathy is currently offering a 10% discount on all permanent make-up treatments over £250 undertaken before 8th September 2008.

WANTED! – “Willing Volunteers” for Case Studies

With MediZen’s growing reputation as a leading medical aesthetic clinical trial, treatment and training centre, we are increasing asked by various media for people who are willing to talk about their experience and potentially have pictures published following treatment with a range of non-surgical treatments that we now offer in our clinic.

We are looking for anyone who would be willing to undergo a treatment in exchange for their permission to put them forward as a case study if requests are received by TV/magazines/radio etc.

 

Ideally candidates would live in the West Midlands area and be looking to undergo any non-surgical facial rejuvenation or body contouring treatment currently offered by MediZen.

If you know anyone who may be interested, could you please ask them to email Ann Booth – ann@medizen.co.uk outlining their name, address, age and what they would like to improve. An attached photo of the area that they want to be treated would also be useful.

Before and after Lip augmentation using Hylauronic acid

 

Following a three month comparative evaluation of different Hyaluronic acid fillers, MediZen practitioners are now confident that Juvéderm Ultra® (a new Hyaluronic acid filler containing the local anaesthetic lidocaine) can be used for lip enhancement and line filling without the need for nerve blocks or numbing creams.

We are always looking for new ways to make treatments more comfortable, and Juvéderm Ultra® reduces the discomfort associated with nerve blocks to numb lips and the need to sit for half an hour waiting for numbing creams to work prior to filler treatments without compromising on comfort for our clients.


For more information about Juvéderm Ultra, please click here or to book an appointment to discuss this with our aesthetic nurses, please phone 0121 308 4373. 

 
Late Night Opening Dates

 

MediZen will be offering late night appointments for selected practitioners on the following Wednesdays: 6th August, 20th August, 3rd September and 17th September.

  

NEW – Smart Lipo™ Body Contouring with Aspiration
 

In 2006, MediZen was the first clinic in Birmingham and the West Midlands region to offer SmartLipo Laser Lipolysis, a revolutionary new liposculpture procedure for the removal of stubborn pockets of fat such as 'saddlebags', 'love handles', 'double chin', etc. SmartLipo treatment uses a laser to effectively reduce small areas (approx. 500mls) of fat resistant to diet or exercise whilst greatly reducing the risks and recovery time associated with traditional procedures such as liposuction.

 

We have successfully treated over 150 clients over the last 2 years, and have recently introduced aspiration (low level suction of liquefied fat) as an additional element to the procedure. New clinical data would indicate that low level aspiration can help to speed up and possibly enhance the final results achievable using this technique without significantly increasing risks.

 

For a limited period we are offering SmartLipo plus aspiration for the same price as the SmartlLipo procedure alone.

 

For more information please click here or for an appointment with one of our licensed practitioners, please call 0121 308 4373.
