Get The Glow! Introducing...The Medished Triple Skin Boost

Hello everyone! today we are going to talk about an amazing new treatment protocol exclusive to The Medished which combines some of my favourite treatments to give you incredible skin in an hour with me at The Medished. When many of my patients come in they often say how relaxed they feel in the chair and are excited for their treatment even if it involves needles!

I've created The Medished Triple Skin Boost so you can enjoy the benefits of glowing skin long after you've left my chair as I know so many of you lead crazy busy lives. Many patients have already benefitted from this protocol at The Medished and are really happy with the results. So what is it you may ask? Well, it involves 3 treatments done sequentially on the day which are as follows...

1. A Bespoke Skintrinsiq Medical Facial

2. Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

3. Profhilo

A Bespoke Skintrinsiq Medical Facial

So first I would carry out the Skintrinsiq facial. The Obagi Skintrinsiq device is backed by 30 years of scientific skincare research and development by the experts at OBAGI. Its innovative pneumatic technology gently lifts your skin to open channels into its surface layers. The Skintrinsiq device extracts impurities to deeply cleanse your skin and then infuses proven Obagi products through those open channels. When the vacuum is removed, the channels close to lock the products into your skin where they can’t be rubbed away and will continue to work after your treatment is over.

Benefits of the Obagi Skintrinsiq device include:

➡️Deeply cleanses the skin by extracting impurities.

➡️It is backed by 30 years of medical skincare expertise.

➡️It can be customized for individual skincare needs.

➡️The device allows for an optional simultaneous LED light treatment to help you reach your skincare goals.

➡️It is a relaxing, spa-like facial experience.

➡️No downtime and perfect any time of the year especially when you want to look extra fabulous!

Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

Secondly, we would move on to the peel. This is a quick yet effective chemical peel that results in visible improvements following just one application with minimal or no downtime. This superficial salicylic acid‐based facial peel exfoliates deeper layers of the skin and helps improve overall complexion. It provides tighter, smoother, brighter‐looking skin after just one treatment! The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance® offers a unique blend of acids: Salicylic Acid (20%), Glycolic Acid (1.6%), Lactic Acid (1.4%)

This treatment is ideal for those suffering with some photodamage, uneven tone, uneven texture, darker skin with pigmentary issues, and acne sufferers as it reduces oil.

Profhilo

Thirdly we would carry out a Profhilo treatment. Now Profhilo is one of my favourite treatments and is a brand we all know and love here at The Medished. Profhilo is a stabilised form of the miracle hydrating molecule hyaluronic acid. It's tissue restoration without ‘volumisation’ i.e. it's not a filler. When injected, it stimulates the skin’s natural synthesis of collagen for plumped and firmed-up skin. As we age, the skin’s ability to produce collagen decreases. Profhilo is strategically injected at key points to rejuvenate the skin’s own collagen-making abilities. This revolutionary treatment is especially effective at treating those areas prone to laxity and sagging like the cheeks neck and décolletage.

It gives you that dewy, post-facial glow – think really plump, hydrated-looking skin!

So if you want an hour to yourself ( with me wittering on!) of pure pampering for your skin, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Jamie. As always, consultation is key if you haven't had any of these treatments before.

With love,

Why you will love Polynucleotides - Introducing Ameela the secret to firm and hydrated skin.

FYI Ameela is a new rebrand name - previously known as Nucleaydn - Same product!

Hi everyone, today I'm excited to talk about Ameela, a new injectable treatment that's making waves the world of facial aesthetics due to its regenerative abilities . As an aesthetics expert, I can tell you that this treatment is one of the most exciting developments I've seen in recent years. So what is Ameela and what makes it so special? Let's dive in and find out!

What is Ameela?

How does Ameela work? - The Science

Well this amazing bio stimulating treatment is made from highly purified polynucleotides.

When we inject polynucleotides this results in a positive histological change of the fibroblasts, osteoblasts, adipocytes and other structures in our skin. Fibrobalsts... our collagen producing cells turn into myofibroblasts. Most importantly stem cells are attracted to the area which have a strong reparative effect for the surrounding tissue. This means positive effects are seen quickly - and a lift in the skins structure is visible after just a few minutes.

We can improve skin laxity, ageing skin, and the reduction of eye bags, a very common compliant. So it's exciting new regenerative medicine. It's also great in the prevention of ageing skin. Collagen is a protein that's responsible for giving the skin its firmness and elasticity, but as we age, our bodies produce less and less of it. By increasing collagen production, Ameela helps to restore the skin's youthful appearance.

What makes Ameela different from other injectable treatments on the market?

Ameela is designed to work with your body's natural processes, rather than simply filling in lines and wrinkles like other injectables. This means that the results of Ameela are more natural-looking and longer-lasting than many other treatments. Ameela also stimulates growth factors that help to repair damaged skin cells and promote the growth of new ones. This helps to improve the skin's overall texture and tone, giving it a more radiant and youthful appearance. Another thing that sets Ameela apart is its versatility.

It’s particularly effective in treating the skin around the eyes. Ameela Eyes is designed specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes. It can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow's feet around the eyes, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look. Additionally, Ameela Eyes can help to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes, which can be a major concern for many people. Best of all, Ameela Eyes is a non-invasive treatment that has minimal downtime. Overall, Ameela Eyes is a great choice for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their eyes and achieve a more youthful, refreshed look.

Why are there 3 different Nucleadyn options? And what is the protocol of use?

The three types available are of different concentrations. I can decide what product is best for the area that you want to improve. If treating the eye area we use a blunt ended cannula or needle to deposit the product. If treating the face we use a blunt cannula ( not painful), and when treating the neck we use a needle technique. 2/3 treatments are needed 2/4 weeks apart and a maintenance treatment is needed at 6/9 months.

You will see an immediate benefit and lift after treatment however the real benefit at 60 days when you will enjoy reduction of fine lines/tightening effect of the skin, improved circulation and lightening of the under eye area. Side effects such as bruising and bumps may occur, and possible swelling in the injection area for up to 3 days. Ameela is suitable for many patients, however as always, consultation is key.

This is a very important question that I'm sure you all want answered!

• After the NECK treatment visible bumps will be apparent but should settle within 48 hours.

• After the FACE treatment it may be slightly sore to touch at the cannula entry points. (A cannula is a blunt tip that can slide through your skin to deposit the Ameela). It’s not painful....just feels a bit weird with some pressure.

• After the EYES treatment it may be slightly sore at the cannula entry point. (A cannula is a blunt tip that can slide through your skin to deposit the Ameela). Needles can also be used around the eye which can cause tiny bruising and swelling for 1-3 days.

📷 Thankyou to my patient for allowing me to share her journey. The before and after is immediately after a Ameela full face treatment. The results will continue to improve. The new treatment is so exciting in aesthetic medicine! Especially for those wanting to age well:)

In conclusion, Ameela (polynucleotides) are a game-changer in the world of regenerative medicine. It's great for restoring and rejuvenating the skin, and its natural-looking, long-lasting results set it apart from other injectable treatments on the market. If you're looking for a non-surgical way to improve your skin's appearance, Ameela may be just what you've been searching for!

Are Collagen supplements worth taking?

One of the most common questions I get from patients is... should I invest in a collagen supplement? I've been researching the market for something that is evidenced based for some time now as it can be very confusing for everyone including myself! Collagen is making a huge noise in the beauty and wellness industry due to the growing abundance of clinical evidence now available proving that supplementation works.

In recent years and months, collagen supplements have been growing in popularity, with the global market expected to reach $7.5 billion by 2027. With advancements in technology and research, collagen supplements are becoming more effective and accessible, making it easier for consumers to incorporate them into their daily routines. As a result, collagen supplements are expected to continue to grow in popularity, providing people with a natural and effective way to support their skin, hair, and overall health. In this blog, we'll discuss the advantages of taking collagen supplements and review Zenni Fusion collagen drink (doctor formulated) which we will be stocking at the Medished for £70/month supply. I've tried and tested it and have noticed an improvement in my skin, hair, and nails within 3 weeks.

Dils top tips about what to look for in an oral collagen supplement.

• It must contain 8000-10000mg of hydrolyzed collagen/day as that is the clinically evidenced dose to work.

• It should be high in the amino acids that are essential in supporting skin health - glycine/proline/hydroxyproline ( the triple helix of collagen )

What do we know about Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our skin. As we age, our skin's collagen production declines, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. This is especially significant for women due to peri/post menopause as we lose 30% of our collagen in the first 5 years. Collagen supplements are a popular way to help replenish the collagen levels in our bodies, which can lead to numerous skin benefits.

1. Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Collagen is essential for maintaining the skin's elasticity, and a lack of it can lead to wrinkles and fine lines. Taking collagen supplements can help to reduce the appearance of these signs of aging by increasing the skin's elasticity and hydration levels.

2. Improves Skin Firmness and Texture: Collagen supplements can also help to improve skin firmness and texture, making it look more youthful and plump. This is because collagen helps to strengthen the skin's structural support, leading to a firmer, more toned appearance.

3. Promotes Wound Healing: Collagen plays a vital role in wound healing and tissue repair, which can benefit the skin's health. Taking collagen supplements can help to speed up the healing process of wounds, scars, and burns, promoting healthier skin overall.

4. Enhances Nail and Hair Health: Collagen supplements can also benefit hair and nail health, as they are both made up of keratin, a protein that relies on collagen for its strength and structure. Supplementing with collagen can improve the strength and growth of hair and nails, making them look healthier and more vibrant.

5. There is now also growing evidence of collagen supplements biohacking our skin helping with arthritis, and strengthening our bones and joints with the prevention of osteoporosis and general longevity.

Zenni fusion is a great choice for anyone looking to support their skin's health and vitality. Whether you're looking to reduce the signs of ageing, improve your skin's texture and firmness, or promote healthy hair and nails, it can help. With Zenni's high-quality Zen fusion, you can feel confident that you're getting the best possible care for your skin. What sets it apart from other products is its formulation ( you just need a 25ml shot.. no tablets or powder to dilute ), the added key ingredients to support collagen production, and its great taste!

• Silica - great for hair, skin & nails Dose- 25mls per day

How do I take Zenni Fusion?

I would advise that you take a 25ml shot of Zenni fusion 5 times per week (Monday-Friday) to get the full clinical effect. It's berry flavoured and sugar free. I personally just down a shot every morning or it's easy to use in drinks, smoothies, or pour onto your breakfast. It's also low plastic use compared to other brands so more eco-friendly and bottles are recyclable.

So in conclusion, I'm a convert and a superfan now due to the excellent clinical data available. Let's do what we can to replenish those amino acids to stimulate our fibroblasts cells into making new collagen... and if that's a daily shot of Zenni fusion I'm all for it... as regenerative medicine is the way forward!
