Lee Boulderstone, UK Managing Director of BTL Aesthetics, said the new award win topped off an incredible year for the brand.

“We’re delighted to receive this Best Body Reshaping Procedure award, and on behalf of the team we would like to thank everyone who voted for BTL Vanquish ME. This award, along with our Hall of Fame induction, is the icing on the cake for what has been a truly successful year for BTL Aesthetics.”

“Being a part of the winning team, and seeing our treatments being recognised within the industry like this, is something myself and everyone at BTL Aesthetics UK is truly proud of,” he concluded.

Unlike surgical alternatives such as liposuction or fat removal, non-invasive body contouring treatments like those offered using BTL Aesthetics devices are safe, reliable and effective. The advanced BTL Vanquish ME technology in non-surgical body contouring treatments uses radiofrequency energy to offer outstanding body reshaping results without the patient having to undergo any painful procedures.

Radio frequency treatment like that used in BTL Vanquish ME can provide body contouring benefits to patients seeking non-surgical solutions to common concerns such as love handles or stubborn pockets of fat. BTL Vanquish ME can be used in combination with other cosmetic procedures, or as a standalone body contouring and fat reduction treatment.

The My Face My Body awards took place in London on Saturday 12th November.

Wigmore Medical was presented with two highly regarded awards at the MyFaceMyBody award ceremony on Saturday 7th November 2015, winning Best Anti-Ageing Treatment for the ZO Medical 3 Step Peel, Best Cosmeceutical Range for ZO Skin Health and was Highly Commended for the ZO Post Procedure Recovery System in the Best Cosmetic Surgery Product or Device category.

ZO products, founded by Dr Zein Obagi, MD, are unique because of the use of the Medical and Skin Health lines together to provide unparalleled results. ZO Skin Health is a comprehensive array of at-homeproducts that maintain the results of therapeutic treatments and support daily skin health and protection from
the environment.

Continuous adjustment and product development is at the core of ZO® Skin Health, capitalising on the latest advances in cosmetic engineering that help optimise results and provide continuous skin health for all skin types, firmly supporting ZO’s number one place as Best Cosmeceutical Range.

“Wigmore Medical is very happy with the progression of the ZO Medical & Skin Health brands, and to be acknowledged for its excellence by a selection of judges, practitioners and the public it is always an honour,” said Raffi Eghiayan, Director Wigmore Medical.

“We will never rest on our laurels and will continue to push forward as the best cosmeceutical range in the UK, offering the most innovative cosmeceutical skincare for our customers, always.”

The ZO Medical 3-Step Peel won best treatment due to its incredible, long-lasting results, its ease of application and comprehensive pre and post treatment care. It is a dual-action, highly effective exfoliating and stimulating peel designed to provide epidermal renewal and dermal stimulation. It is a potent peel that maximises texture improvement and produces longer lasting results.

ZO is patient-friendly for all skin types and colours. No sedation is required. It utilises a blend of exfoliants, 6% concentration of retinol, and multi-action agents to significantly improve skin health and treat many signs of skin ageing. It supports barrier function and improves skin’s ability to repair and renew itself.

It also provides antioxidant protection, DNA repair and anti-inflammation benefits. It improves acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, texture roughness, large pores and dullness. Usage studies show that the peel is easily done, its safety is remarkable and that it causes minimal sensitivity.

The Highly Commended ZO Medical Post Procedure Recovery System is an effective program for post procedure skin management. This system is designed for use after laser resurfacing procedures, chemical peels or any combined ablative treatment.

The three products are formulated to synergistically deliver the most advanced technology available to protect and soothe skin while natural re-epithelialisation of the skin is completed.

FreeFrom Skincare Awards 2014 Shortlist Revealed

by

8234123_xlOver 100 products from more than 70 skincare brands have made the shortlist of the third annual FreeFrom Skincare Awards.

Green People lead the way with four shortlisted products, followed by four brands with three shortlisted products each – Botanicals, Odylique, Shea Mooti and Tropic Skincare.

Entries across the 12 categories were up 20% on last year, and over 50% of the brands were first-time entrants – evidence of the growth in ‘free from’ skincare over the last year.

“The shortlist is much longer than we anticipated, but it deserves to be because the standard of entries was noticeably higher this year,” said Alex Gazzola, Awards Co-ordinator.

“Drawing up the shortlist has been a challenge,” added Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, chair of the judging sessions.

“Our panels had to assess ‘free from’ qualities, skin-healthy ingredients, effectiveness, innovation, value for money, clarity of labelling, preservative content, and much more. When combined with the personal tastes and unique perspectives of judges, it all makes for a lot of vigorous debate,” she concluded.

Shortlisted products now go forward for month-long assessment by testers from The Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible, and their detailed feedback will be used to draw up lists of winners and runners-up in all twelve categories – plus an additional award for Best FreeFrom Skincare Brand, and of course Best Overall FreeFrom Skincare Product – to be announced at the Love Natural, Love Organic show at Olympia on 4th July 2014.
