Question 2

Hyperhidrosis

Accepted Answer

Botox can be used to effectively treat excessive sweating from the armpits, which causes so much embarrassment to many people. ​ It works by blocking the nerves to the sweat glands resulting in drier, fresher skin and dry clothes! ​ Treatment works for about 6 - 12 weeks, then new nerve endings start to form, this means that treatments need to be repeated every few months to maintain results.

Question 7

Medical Peels

Accepted Answer

Incredibly, Queen Cleopatra was one of the first advocates of chemical peels and used goats milk (Lactic Acid) to achieve softer skin. Since then chemical peels have become one of the top 10 most commonly performed aesthetic procedure in the world, thanks to their versatility and ability to enhance the results of skincare regimes, as well as tackling more significant skincare concerns such as balancing pigmentation, treating photodamage, acne scarring, wrinkles and dullness. GEL PEEL GL 30mins This is the ideal ‘entry-level’ peel in the SkinCeuticals professional treatment range – it includes 20% Glycolic Acid, 10% Lactic Acid and has a pH of 3.2. It is ideal as an initial peel for sensitive skin and helps to prepare the skin for extractions. In essence, if you haven’t had a professional chemical peel treatment before, Gel Peel GL is a lovely introduction. The lactic acid ingredient has an exfoliating action in peels, but also a moisturising function, which makes this peel good for menopausal women, frequent travellers – anyone with drier skin, as it reveals newer epidermal layers and helps moisturise the skin. Gel Peel GL can be used for any gender, any age group and any Fitzpatrick skin type and is used to treat problematic skin (with or without breakouts), photodamage and to improve skin elasticity and wrinkles. For optimal results, Dr Gout recommends booking a course of 4-6 Gel Peel GL treatments, each spaced 10-14 days apart. In general, once the skin has returned to ‘normal’, it is possible to repeat the peel. MICROPEEL 20%/30% 30mins These peels contain a power house of ingredients with 20%/30% pure Glycolic Acid. Micropeel 20% has a pH of 1.6 and is designed to treat the early signs of ageing and even out skin tone bringing restored radiance. Micropeel 30% has a pH of 1.4 and treats the advanced signs of ageing, dullness, discolouration and rough texture. PIGMENT BALANCING PEEL 30mins This peel is at the other end of the SkinCeuticals professional treatment portfolio spectrum: deeper penetrating peel, which combines brightening and anti-inflammatory agents with a peeling solution to target hyperpigmentation, improve photodamaged skin and treat melasma and acne. For concerns around pigmentation, the simple 'stretch test' can be used as an initial indicator of pigmentation depth - using the fingers to stretch a small area of skin. If the pigmentation goes lighter, the pigment is located at the epidermal skin layer, or if there is no change, the pigmentation is located more deeply in the dermal skin layer. This helps determine what level of peel is required to treat effectively. Pigment Balancing Peel contains 40% Glycolic Acid, 10% Citric Acid, 27% Vitamin C and 4% Emblica and with a pH of 1.6 will penetrate the skin more deeply. Again, Dr Gout recommends booking a series of six treatments, spaced 10-14 days apart for maximal results. ​​​​​​​ Book Now

Question 8

Cavitation Peeling & Ultrasound

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound Peeling is a skin cleansing treatment by using cavitation: Ultrasonic waves in the presence of liquid formed bubbles filled with air which expand and burst. The high pressure and heat produced through this treatment means the skin can be thoroughly cleansed, dead skin cells and toxic substances are removed and secretions of the oil glands are brought under control. ultrasound Peeling is a painless alternative to manual skin cleansing and can be added to most of our facials in preparation for the penertration of active ingredients.   Ultrasound (Ionophoresis and sonophoresis) is a non-invasive method to infuse and enhance active skincare ingredients into the dermis of the skin, maximising their result.

Question 9

Acne Laser Treatment

Accepted Answer

Active acne can seriously reduce your enjoyment in life. DermaVida has an "Acne Treatment Program" to help resolve this common but unpleasant problem. ​ A mild-moderate acne scarring is treated with intense pulsed light (IPL) and long-pulsed Nd:Yag lasers. Active acne is treated with intense pulsed light in combination with a range of cosmeceuticals (medical strength skin products) ​ How Do Treatments Work? Active Acne: Laser light kills the specific bacteria that cause infection leading to spots. By heating up the skin around the spots the laser light stimulates the production of collagen which helps in the healing process and the spots disappear.   Acne Scarring: With mild acne scarring the Nd:Yag heats up the deeper skin layers stimulating collagen production and producing a healing response which reduced scarring and firms up the skin giving it a better texture.  ​ Prices start at £50 (per session)   Book Now

Question 10

Laser Hair Reduction

Accepted Answer

Lasers provide the most effective method of hair reduction, reaching even the most deep seated hair follicles. DermaVita's Cosmetic & Laser Clinic can help to resolve these problems and remove the need for painful, time consuming alternative treatments like depilatory creams, plucking, waxing, shaving and electrolysis. Here at DermaVida we use a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser to provide highly effective hair reduction for all skin types. ​ A minimum of 6 treatments will be required and is suitable for all areas of the body for men and woman. We suggest leaving a gap between treatments of around 4 to 6 weeks, this Way we have a better chance of catching the hair during its growing phase. If your hair is dark in colour then that is perfect for laser hair reduction, unfortunately if your hair is white, grey or very fair the laser treatment will be ineffective so we would not recommend having laser treatment.

Question 11

Pigmentation

Accepted Answer

WHAT IS HYPERPIGMENTATION? The upper layers of the skin contain pigment cells called melanocytes. They produce pigment called melanin that is then distributed evenly throughout the epidermis to give the natural colouration of the skin. In response to trauma, inflammation, sun exposure, hormones and as a result of genetics, pigment can be over-produced and form ‘clumps’ that look like areas of darker discolouration or ‘hyperpigmentation’. There are a number of different types of hyperpigmentation; common types include: freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Laser is a safe and effective solution to treat hyperpigmentation. We use a Nd:YAG laser light to target and destroy areas of excess pigment in the skin.   Prices start from £70

Question 14

Warts & Verruca

Accepted Answer

For Verrucae or Warts we suggest an average of four treatments are carried out at two weekly intervals. A full review is given at each visit to monitor progress on an individual basis.  ​ We provide treatments for a wide range of warts and verrucae using Fotona's Nd:YAG laser. Deep and selective Nd:YAG absorption induces coagulation of blood vessels feeding the wart, causing subsequent necrosis (penetrates even through calloused tissue) Antibacterial effects promote faster healing and reduce the possibility of recurrence No need to remove any extra tissue, no anesthesia required. No special post-procedure skin care necessary    Price for this treatment is £60 (per session)   Book Now

Question 15

Fungal Nail

Accepted Answer

​​​​​​​    If you have a medically confirmed fungal nail infection they why not come to DermaVida for laser treatment. We suggest four individual treatments spaced at weekly intervals to get the best chances of success. 75% of patients get a complete resolution at 9 months.   DermaVida's Onychomycosis Treatment Is a patient-friendly method for treating onychomycosis (toenail fungus). It is a simple and effective procedure that uses power of Nd:YAG laser to heat evenly throughout the depth of the effected nail and skin tissue, effectively weakening and killing parasitic fungi which have infected the patients nails. Please ensure you have been medically diagnosed by your doctor before starting treatment.   Safe and Effective Deep, pulse-profile heating of the nail bed stimulates the killing of parasitic fungus. The natural grown and immune processes of the body are then able to restore the nail to its healthy state. Compared to traditional methods, the effects of laser light spread evenly throughout the tissue and are not subject to either the limits of chemical diffusion (as are topicals) or the induction of hepatoxic side effects (as is the case with oral medications). ​ Fungal Nail Treatment is performed in three simple steps: Step 1: Prepare the nail. During onychomycosis the nail may become deformed & overgrown, it may also thicken, if so filing down the nail allows laser light to fully penetrate into the treatment site. Step 2: Administer Nd:YAG laser pulses covering the entire nail. The patient should feel a slight heating sensation throughout the nail. Step 3: Target Nd:YAG laser pulses around the perimeter of the nail bed and around the finger or toe. Often parasitic fungus has worked its way beyond the nail bed and needs to be eliminated in all the tissue surrounding the nail to help prevent recurrence. The treatment is usually performed four times, at one week intervals. All of the nails should be treated during every session. Laser light can also effectively treat fungus which has infected skin tissue. ​ Price for this treatment is £60 (per session)   Book Now
