Skincare brand bids to become the ‘world’s most sustainable professional brand’

by

Skincare brand Medik8 has announced that every product manufactured by the brand now uses 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. 

This is in line with the brand’s wider campaign surrounding the Professional Refresh (launching October 2019), positioning Medik8 as “The World’s Most Sustainable Professional Brand.”

These commitments towards ensuring a more environmentally friendly product and minimising the brand’s carbon footprint are just a few of the many initiatives within Medik8’s sustainability crusade, making the above statement more than fitting. 

From September 2019, every professional Medik8 product in a plastic bottle will be made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) material. This means not only are they recyclable, but they are also MADE of 100% recycled material. 

Medik8 uses plastic derived from former drinks bottles that would otherwisehave just gone to landfill; taking centuries to degrade. This PCR material is primarily sourced from the UK to minimise our carbon footprint.

Medik8’s next long-term commitment will be to move all their professional product to Ocean Plastic derived materials; plastic waste sourced from our oceans, rivers and seas.

4T Medical launches the Dual Injector Pro+

by

Aesthetic product supplier 4T Medical has launched the Dual Injector Pro+ across the UK. 

The Dual Injector Pro+ is a device that delivers both skin tightening/lifting RF technology to boost skin rejuvenation, with electroporation – also known as needle free mesotherapy – a technology that embeds active ingredients like hyaluronic acid deep into the skin without the use of needles.

The unique combination of RF lifting + electroporation enables a client/patient to receive a multi-technology treatment which maximizes the impact and effectiveness of both technologies – giving instant and visible results without the skin trauma that a needle based service could cause.

The RF technology facilitates the attribution of oxygen in the tissues, activates cell metabolism, contributes to the excretion of catabolic residues and stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid formation in the skin. 

The Dual Injector Pro+ uses bipolar rather than monopolar RF – which has a shallower reach into the skin layers and offers less risk of burning.

With Electroporation an electromagnetical pulse temporarily disrupts skins intercellular electrical connections so that applied therapeutic substances and preparations can be absorbed deep into the skin layers non-invasively. 

This dual approach visibly improves many common skin complaints from wrinkles and lines, to hyperpigmentation and oily or dry skin. All resulting in tighter, rejuvenated and evenly toned skin almost instantly. 

Julien Tordjmann, Managing Director at 4T Medical commented: “The Dual Injector Pro+ ticks so many boxes for our customers – being a non-invasive needle-free device, delivering instant results, the latest in RF + Electroporation technology and at an attractive price point that can promote a speedy ROI. It adds great value to the 4T Medical offering to our customers and we are delighted to launch it into the UK.”

Advanced Esthetics Solutions launches the Pyramid Facelift

by

Aesthetic device company Advanced Esthetics Solutions has launched a revolutionary form of anti-ageing treatment in the UK.

The Cardiff based company, also behind the award-winning Lipofirm Pro, have created a revolutionary treatment that offers the results of a facelift without invasive surgery.

The Pyramid Facelift, a multi-dimensional non-surgical facial, offers THREE anti-ageing benefits in just 30 minutes.

The Pyramid Facelift, pioneered in the UK by AES, offers patients dermal volumisation, skin tightening and resurfacing, all in ONE single treatment.

Like the multidimensional nature of the ancient pyramids, this combination of treatments come together to create an impressive aesthetic result.

Utilising the unique Divine Pro platform, the minimally invasive treatment combines the technologies of VoluDerm, TriFractional RF and TriPollar with DMA (Dynamic Muscle Activation) and offers 6 benefits.

Benefit of The Pyramid Facelift include:

  • Dermal volumising
  • Skin resurfacing
  • Skin tightening
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Facial contouring 
  • Scarring

Ideal for women aged 30+ this skin treatment is designed to lift, smooth and firm the face, leaving the patient looking and feeling more youthful.

It’s effective, safe and the results are long-lasting – results are akin to a mini facelift without the scalpel! It’s the unique combination of THREE individual technologies that makes the Pyramid Facelift so effective.

  1. TriFractional RF

TriFractional radiofrequency energy rejuvenates the outer epidermis layer. This minimally invasive treatment creates triggers the body’s natural healing response mechanism. Old and damaged skin cells are removed and the body produces new and healthy skin.

 

  1. VoluDerm

VoluDerm provides a safe and effective penetration of the epidermis for controlled heating targeting deep dermis. This minimally invasive treatment uses fine micro-needles while applying radiofrequency to volumise the deep dermal layer. The micro-needles stimulate the body to naturally produce hyaluronic acid, new collagen and elastin.

 

  1. TriPollar with Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA)

TriPollar is the only non-invasive technology to use radiofrequency energy to generate heat through resistance in both the dermal and subcutaneous layers causing collagen fibres to contract. This creates an immediate skin tightening effect. Increased fibroblast activity results in collagen regeneration for a long-term effect. DMA (Dynamic Muscle Activation) energy stimulates the facial muscles resulting in lifting and toning of the skin. DMA also accelerates lymphatic drainage, blood and lymph circulation optimising tissue oxygenation and detoxification.

Phillippa Lunn, General Manager at Advanced Esthetics Solutions, said: “We are delighted to be launching The Pyramid Facelift and look forward to showcasing the Divine Pro device to vistors at Olympia Beauty. It’s the innovative combination of these 3 technologies that gives Divine Pro the power to offer a non-surgical facelift, and we’re positive it’s going to be the next big thing in the aesthetics industry.”

The Pyramid Facelift is currently available at The ME Clinic in Cardiff, but will be available in clinics across the UK from October.

Advanced Esthetics Solutions will be launching the Pyramid Facelift using the Divine Pro at Olympia Beauty Show on 1- 2 October 2017.

Advanced Esthetics Solutions introduces the first 270W Alexandrite/Nd:YAG blended laser with a Square Spot

by

Leading aesthetic product company adds Square Epil to its growing portfolio of non-surgical devices.

The latest addition to the Advanced Esthetics Solutions portfolio of non-surgery energy-assisted devices has been revealed.

copy-of-squareepilmachineThe Square Epil – now available from AES – is the world’s most powerful blended laser with the first ever square spot, built in smoke evacuator and self replacement lamp system.

Receiving rave reviews from aesthetic professionals, the Square Epil offers high comfort during treatment sessions, and minimised downtime with safe and long-lasting results. Combining both wavelengths enables the practitioner to treat all skin types at speeds that are 3 x faster than its rivals.

The Square Epil has a double energy source, Alex+Yag, and has a pulse repetition of up to 3Hz. There are two options: a circular spot size up to 30mm, and a square spot size up to 27x27mm, allowing aesthetic professionals to treat a body surface equal to 14.5cm2 per second at 20J/cm2 of fluence.

The combination of Alexandrite and Nd:YAG allows the treatment of all skin’s phototypes, from I to VI, allowing the use of the device for any time of year. The one-of-a-kind BEM (Blended Emission Mode) technology allows clinicians to selectively use one laser source or combine laser beams, depending on the individual needs of patients.

squareepil_handpiece-diagramIntended uses:

  • Hair Removal
  • Vascular Lesions
  • Benign Pigmented Lesions
  • Non-Ablative Photorejuvenation
  • Anti-Ageing
  • Warts
  • Onychomycosis

Square Epil is the latest laser from the Bios range of single lasers and multifunctional platforms based on a long pulse Alexandrite combined with long and short pulse Nd:YAG laser.

Bodyvie in Richmond, London, is the first aesthetic clinic in the U.K. to be offering the Bios Square Epil. Dr Weber from Bodyvie says:

“We are privileged to be the first clinic in the UK to offer what is probably the most powerful and fastest hair removal system in the world! Incredible versatility coupled with spot sizes ranging from 1mm to 30mm and the ability to fire up to 3 times per second; the Bios Square Epil is the Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Bentley of lasers.”

Douglas Sykes, Managing Director of Advanced Esthetics Solutions, says:

“The Square Epil is one of the most exciting new generation of lasers to be produced, with 270W of power, a 30mm spot size producing 14.5cm2 per second enabled the practitioner to treat a full body in less than 35 minutes. The ability to change the lamp in less than one minute without the need of a call out to an engineer is truly remarkable.

“The UK has experienced an influx of discounting schemes creating a complete new culture in consumer spending – this in turn has somewhat suppressed laser hair removal prices in the last few years. The Square Epil’s ability to carry out the treatments in fraction of the time introduces back the profit margins we enjoyed years ago; the Square Epil is truly the highest return on investment on any laser out there.”

The Square Epil is available from AES now.

Introducing Ozone Autohemotherapy

by

Vida Aesthetics Logo copyA new treatment using Ozone Therapy has been revealed by Vida Aesthetics.

Ozone autohemotherapy, or ‘self-blood therapy’, is a technique which involves the withdrawal of blood from the body and the re-injection of the same blood, following the infusion of ozone, back into a vein. The aim of the therapy is to enhance the immune system’s ability to fight off disease.

Practitioners of the treatment believe that the reintroduction of your own blood boosts immunity and vitality and is performed to treat pain, inflammation and infections.

Examples of illnesses and symptoms treated with autohemotherapy include arterial circulatory disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bronchitis, allergies, acne, eczema, leg ulcers and fungal infections.

Autohemotherapy has also been used in combination with conventional cancer treatment, as well as to aid in smoking cessation and to speed up recovery after a long illness. The aim of the therapy is to improve the immune system’s ability to fight disease.

The blood retains its normal components which is the usual complement of hormones, antibodies, minerals, and salts. Any metabolic by-products resulting from acute or long-term illnesses will also be present in the blood and their reintroduction into the patient will force the body to adopt a fresh immune response to the disease-causing substances.

Ozone is a highly unstable gas, formed when oxygen is subjected to ultra-violet rays and electricity. But it is very useful as an antiseptic agent as it can kill bacteria and viruses.

As ozone is an immune system modulator which has got strong analgesic properties, it can treat cervical and lumbar problems with 95% effectiveness of reducing the symptoms. Ozone can also support detoxification and helps to cleanse the lymph system.

Ozone treatment is also being used for sports medicine which is used to treat trauma, muscular distortion and damaged tendons.

Dr. Re (President of the Italian Federation of Ozone Therapy) says:

“While the machine that generates ozone may cost less than £20,000, ozone treatments are delicate and require experience. If it’s done by expert hands, the treatment is practically free from any side effects.”

Product in Focus: Nithya Injectable Collagen

by

Discover the latest collagen boosting injectable from Vida Aesthetics, Nithya.

Nithya: the basics

From the age of 25, we lose up to 1.5% of collagen from our skin each year. The resulting appearance of wrinkles due to the loss of our natural collagen can be mitigated by replenishing it and this can now be achieved through treatment with injectable collagen, a product designed for the regeneration and reconstruction of tissues.

Nithya collagen is produced from equine Achilles tendon tissue in a sterile environment. Nithya is a Type I collagen powder which stimulates the production of new fibroblasts to create native Type III collagen during the immunodefense responses triggered by the cell regeneration process known as mechanotransduction, a process that is fundamental in cosmetic medicine and anti-aging treatments.

When the collagen is native it reduces the presence of free telopeptides, a source of allergenicity, almost to zero. It can be defined native because it preserves the same physical and chemical characteristics typical of collagen in the living organism (same sequence and composition of amino acids, same molecular structure); the collagen protein retains its native triple helix structure and there are no free telopeptides.

The equine collagen of Nithya passed all the cytotoxicity, allergenic and skin irritability tests. The product is safe and doesn’t have any contraindications.

Nithya produces the optimal conditions to restore connective tissue. It supplements dermal bio-revitalization and assists the regeneration of connective tissue in the dermis providing perfect conditions for the physiological neo-formation of collagen and can be used for body and facial chrono- and photo-aging treatments.

nithya-picPackaged in powder form, sterile, pyrogen-free and for single use, Nithya must be placed in suspension immediately before use in WFI (Water for Injection) and Lidocaine at a ratio of a 70mg vial of collagen to 4.5ml of WFI and 0.5ml of Lidocaine. Once in suspension, the product should be used immediately and any remaining following the treatment should be discarded.

Using the appropriate size needles from 32G x 2 mm up to 30G x 4 mm, the product is administered through intradermal infiltration by medical practitioners licensed to carry out such treatments. The technical skill of the practitioner is key to the success of the treatment so it is recommended that the practitioner receives specific training on the mesotherapy injection technique.

Nithya bears the CE 0373 mark and is manufactured in Italy by Euroresearch. Used in combination with lidocaine, the procedure is virtually painless and is the only commercially available Type I collagen intended for aesthetic use. Equine collagen, produced by Euroresearch, has been used in pad form for more than 20 years for its healing property on skin ulcers, open wounds, scars and pressure sores.

Equine collagen is FDA approved for wound therapy under the brand name BIOPAD. BIOPAD is produced by the same manufacture as Nithya and uses the same collagen source.

What are the advantages to using Nithya equine collagen compared to bovine collagen?

Studies have shown that 3% of the population are allergic to bovine collagen whereas equine collagen has not shown this level of adverse reaction and in fact, no cases of allergic reaction have been reported. Equine collagen is extracted from the tendon whereas bovine collagen is extracted from the hide.

This results in the equine collagen being a higher quality and purer product when compared with bovine collagen. In addition, it is Type III collagen that is extracted from the bovine hide rather than the Type I from the equine tendon. By using Type I to stimulate production of Type III collagen, the body has more control over production and distribution leading to better and longer lasting results.

The allergic reactions caused by bovine collagen are connected to the source and the extraction process. The collagen is usually extracted from the bovine derma which is a less pure source compared to the tendon, therefore during the extraction process the collagen fibre is cut and consequently this frees polypeptides which can cause allergic reactions to bovine collagen.

Equine collagen is a much more popular choice compared to bovine collagen because the amino acid sequence is more like the human one which makes it work much better with the human body and enhances the results from the collagen.

What are the differences between Type I and Type III collagen?

Type I is the most numerous in number among all collagen types. It can be found in bones, skin and intervertebral disks. It can also be found in scar tissue.

Type III is the second most abundant collagen in the body. It is closely related to collagen Type I in the terms of location and manner of synthesis. It is primarily located in the intestinal walls, muscles and blood vessels, although it can also be found with collagen Type I. Type I and Type III can be mixed together to create supplements for the skin, bone and muscle.

How do you know the animals aren’t infected?

Nithya equine collagen is a bi-product of an established industry. The animals are slaughtered for human consumption and, as with any animal entering the human food chain, are subject to rigorous checks, tests and strict processes. All horses destined for human consumption will have been monitored using a ‘passport’ scheme which will have a complete record of any drugs that have been administered, any indications of recent medications and/or drugs being administered that might render the animal unfit for human consumption.

Study: Vanquish ME Device from BTL Aesthetics Reduces 53% More Fat

by

Clinicals Show Patients Lost One-Quarter Liquid Gallon of Fat, on Average, with BTL Vanquish ME

BTL Aesthetics has announced the release of a clinical evaluation proving that its BTL Vanquish ME device was effectively redesigned for more efficient, predictable and homogenous energy delivery to the targeted tissue.

The result is significantly better outcomes in abdominal fat thickness reduction, 53% higher, with BTL Vanquish ME versus BTL Vanquish.

BTL Vanquish launched in 2013, was a breakthrough device for non-invasive fat reduction. The commitment to an innovative approach quickly resulted in the development of BTL Vanquish ME (Maximum Energy), which debuted in 2015.

BTL Vanquish ME is a clinician-favoured fat reduction treatment that is FDA-cleared for the circumferential reduction of the abdomen and thighs. The treatment was also recently shown, in a peer-review study published in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology, that it treats more fat faster—and over a much larger area—than its competitors on the market.

They are the only radiofrequency devices on the UK aesthetic market that allow for non-contact, hands-free treatment of subcutaneous fat.

The multi-centre study, conducted by Drs. Nicole Hayre, Peter Jenkin and Melanie Palm in the US, sought to compare clinical outcomes of a non-invasive selective radiofrequency (RF) field device (BTL Vanquish ME) with its predecessor (BTL Vanquish).

A total of 36 subjects with BMIs under 30 but above 24, were randomly assigned to be treated in Group A (BTL Vanquish ME) or Group B (Vanquish) to obtain a side-by-side comparison of the devices’ efficacies. Each subject received four, once-weekly, 45-minute treatments with their group’s determined device. Measurements of subjects’ abdominal fat were taken prior to the first treatment and again four weeks after finishing the final treatment.

Subjects had also been instructed to maintain their usual diet and lifestyle throughout the duration of the study.

Abdominal fat layer thickness reduction at 30 days post treatment was the primary outcome measurement in the study as measured by ultrasound. The degree in fat layer thickness between Group A and B was statistically significant (p<0.008), and data showed that fat for Group A (BTL Vanquish ME) and Group B (BTL Vanquish) was reduced by 29.5% and 15.2%, respectively.

That represents a 53% higher reduction of abdominal fat layer thickness with Group A than for those in Group B. Every subject in the study showed a reduction in the abdominal fat layer thickness.

–       Group A: Reduction ranged from 2.0 to 6.6 mm (average of 4.17 ±1.42 mm)

–       Group B: Reduction ranged from .07 to 10.4 mm (average of 2.72 ± 2.21 mm)

The standard deviation of ultrasound measurements in Groups A and B were 1.42 mm and 2.21 mm, respectively—and this reduction in standard deviation of fat reduction measurements in Group A vs Group B is evidence that the BTL Vanquish ME™ provides more consistent performance.

Finally, using the measured reduction in fat layer thickness and the treatment surface area of the applicator (2100 cm2or 325.5 square inches), a reduction of 0.876 liter (0.23 liquid gallon) and 0.571 liter (0.15 liquid gallon) of fat were calculated for Groups A and B, respectively. (Volume lost = fat layer thickness reduction x effective area or spot size of the applicator (2100 cm2; 325.5 square inches).

Further speaking to its uniqueness in the market, the BTL Vanquish ME device holds three patents: One, granted in 2013, protects the non-contact method of adipose tissue treatment.

The second, issued in September 2016, is for the feedback power control device for non-invasive treatment of skin and human tissue.

The third—issued in October—refers to a new method for treating subcutaneous tissue that positions one or more applicators adjacent to the skin of a patient, but not touching the skin or in need of continual movement by the applicator. These applicators, which transmit electromagnetic energy into the skin where it can be used for subcutaneous tissue treatment, may also be used for tightening the skin and for remodelling collagen tissue in the subcutaneous tissue.

Additionally, airflow can be provided between the applicator and the skin by positioning an air mover (attached or made part of the applicator) close to the skin.

“We are committed to providing our physician network and their patients with the most highly-advanced devices on the market,” said Lee Boulderstone of BTL Aesthetics UK.

“These clinical results, showing that our smartly-designed, next-generation device outperformed its predecessor, really speak to BTL Aesthetics’ innovative approach and entrepreneurial spirit.”

Cosmetic Clinic Launches Madonna-Lift Using Nithya Collagen Boosters

by

A top UK cosmetic clinic has introduced an innovative anti-ageing ‘hand-lift’ treatment to help patients improve the appearance of veiny hands.

The Madonna-Lift – which is being pioneered by the Meso Clinic – uses Nithya collagen injections to firm and rejuvenate the back of the hands.

Unlike dermal filler injections, which have been offered previously as a solution to ageing hands by filling the hollowness with a synthetic substance, collagen boosting injections actively stimulate natural collagen production.

Before and after Nithya collagen booster treatment for hand ageing

Providing a long-term and natural-looking anti-ageing result, the skin rejuvenation treatment costs just £250 and lasts – unlike fillers – for years not months.

This revolutionary new skin plumping treatment is designed to holistically improve the production of new collagen, helping to reduce fine lines, improve volume and reduce the appearance of protruding veins.

The use of revitalising collagen is a first for UK aesthetic clinics keen to offer a more natural-looking anti-ageing option. Results are long-lasting, and unlike dermal fillers which use man-made substances and may produce lumpy results, Nithya works in harmony with your natural tissue structure, making the Madonna-Lift a more holistic anti-ageing solution.

A leading cosmetic doctor devised the 10-minute treatment after numerous patients visited the aesthetic clinic seeking a quick and pain-free solution to ‘old lady hands’.

Dr. Shadi Eddin says he realised there was a market for a new collagen boosting treatment after patients visited him complaining of their ‘Madonna hands’.

“When it comes to visible signs of ageing we often only consider the face, but there are numerous parts of the body which can also give away your age; the hands are most certainly one! Thanks to Nithya collagen booster injections from Vida Aesthetics I’m now able to offer women the Madonna-Lift – a safe and long-term solution to veiny hands lacking natural volume.”

“Our non-surgical aesthetic treatments are designed to support the development of a healthy body image and to revitalise the way patients look and feel about themselves. Hand rejuvenation is set to be an upcoming trend for 2017 in my opinion, and we’re delighted to be at the forefront of the anti-ageing revolution by offering a hand lift treatment we know improves our patients’ happiness.”

The Meso Clinic offers a comprehensive range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments that rejuvenate and refresh the appearance.

The Madonna-Lift using Nithya collagen-boosting injections is available at the Meso Clinic now. Vida Aesthetics, the supplier of Nithya, is a UK-based company and offers advanced aesthetic training and a portfolio of medical-grade cosmetic products.

Feature: Is The Ice Age Over?

by

The time has come to say goodbye to uncomfortable fat reduction treatments that claim to freeze flab away.

The ice age is finally over say experts, as non-surgical body contouring treatments harnessing the power of HEAT are set to take over the aesthetic landscape.

Reducing stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, the size, the buttocks and the arms has always been considered a tricky and often and painful form of cosmetic treatment. However, now outdated surgical fat removal procedures such as liposuction, and energy assisted treatments relying on freezing fat have proven to hold limited long term results, the new era of body reshaping is heating up.

Treatments such as BTL Vanquish ME are harnessing the deep penetrating benefits of radio frequency energy to heat instead of freeze fat, providing a pain free and effective solution to stubborn pockets of fat and cellulite.

Unlike its predecessors, the non invasive fat remodelling treatment blasts unwanted fatty tissues with a unique combination of radio frequency and ultra sound energy designed to contour the body at a cellular level.

And the most innovative technological advantage of this specific treatment?

The device doesn’t ever touch the skin. 

The contactless nature of BTL Vanquish ME (pictured, right) means that as well as an effective treatment offering long-term body contouring results, patients can be certain of a one of a kind treatment experience which is both painless and comfortable.

Why go thermal? 

For many years’ men and women have been told that freezing unwanted fat was the most effective form of non-surgical body shaping, but according to a recent report by a top UK safety organisation using super low temperatures can actually stimulate fat growth.

During the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) annual meeting this month, it was revealed that Cryolipolysis has now been linked to 473 incidents of a condition called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) which causes large groups of fat cells to grow.

Unlike Cryolipolysis treatments, heat-based body contouring treatments such as BTL Vanquish ME destroy the fat without damaging the skin, encouraging the body to expel the unwanted fat cells as waste from the body naturally.

vanessaSending the powerful – yet invisible – thermal energy directly to the problem area, BTL Vanquish ME allows cosmetic doctors to target precise areas which may have proved impossible to treat previously. Treatment times start from just 15 minutes, and a pleasant warming sensation is all patients will feel during their relaxing session.

Miss. Vanessa Bird, an aesthetic expert and specialist in body contouring, says the new wave of technology available in UK clinics is proving more popular than ever.

“Things are really heating up in the world of aesthetics, that’s for sure. Gone are the days of traditional (and painful) surgical fat removal procedures like lipo, and it appears the so called ‘ice age’ is finally over too,” Vanessa (pictured, left) says.

“Offering painless, quick and effective treatments, men and women seeking non-surgical body contouring and fat remodelling are waking up to the new generation of cosmetic treatments. Heat energy is now proven to be the most reliable method of toning the body, and looks set to be a top aesthetic trend in clinics up and down the country for 2017.”
