There’s no denying that the past year has seen an increase in demand for cosmetic treatments. With the rise in time spent at home during lockdown and frequent video meetings.
Whether you’re for or against non-invasive aesthetic transformations, it’s a booming industry with new technologies advancing treatments all the time. 2021 looks set to see the demand for non-surgical cosmetic procedures further increase, with treatment trends for truly natural-looking results. Our senior consultant, Lucy Dawe and in-house Doctor, Dianni give their predictions for the top one-off treatments that will see a rise post lockdown through to 2021.
Medical Led Prescriptions 2020 has been a year where many of us are spending more time at home and we have seen a surge in popularity for virtual consultations for our skincare services. With the new year approaching we are hoping for more certainty and fewer lockdowns. Our skincare services are extended to prescription treatments from our in-house doctors. There is a high demand for skincare ingredients such as tretinoin, hydroquinone and Obaji Nu-Derm system.
All-in-one treatments
We have found that many people are looking to spend less on skincare with the global pandemic impacting finances. Thanks to the internet and advancements in technology means clients can do more research into the benefits of treatments and finding an all round treatment as sometimes there is more than one skin concern or condition. Our multi beneficial skin treatments include, Hydrafacial, Profound RF, DermaPen (microneedling), DermaLux LED Phototherapy, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). A treatment trend to look out for.
Representing all skin colours
There has been many changes within the beauty and skincare industry. This year brands have been more aware of being all inclusive to people of colour. At Pulse Light Clinic we have always ensured we have the latest technology and treatments available to help people of all skin types. The laser technology we use for laser hair removal uses Alexandrite and Nd:YAG which means we can target fair to darker skin types. The laser technology we use for laser tattoo removal is the PicoWay, PicoSure and QSwitch, these machines allow us to target all skin types and almost all ink colours safely and effectively. We also have a range of skin treatments available for darker skin types and pigmentation.
Both are fractional lasers. Both treat the skin in microscopic columns. Both improve tone, texture and pigmentation, and both are chosen over ablative resurfacing when downtime matters. On paper they look interchangeable. In practice they occupy…
Most resurfacing treatments ask you to trade downtime for results. A week of peeling buys a bigger change than an afternoon of redness, and that trade-off is the main thing separating one laser from another. LaseMD…
These two get compared constantly, and the comparison is usually framed as which is better. That is the wrong question, because they treat different things. One removes fat. The other removes some fat and builds muscle….
Most body treatments do one thing. They reduce fat, or they tighten skin, or they build muscle. EmSculpt Neo is unusual in that it works on two of those at once, in the same session, using…
The area under the chin frustrates people more than almost anywhere else. It shows in every photograph taken from below, it responds poorly to weight loss in a lot of people, and it can appear on…
The treatment takes under an hour. The recovery is the part people need to plan for, and it is the part most articles skate over. Fractional CO2 resurfacing removes tissue in a controlled grid and heats…
Three common things appear on skin, they get confused constantly, and the treatment for each is different. A skin tag is a friction-driven growth of ordinary skin. A wart is caused by a virus. A mole…
Skin tags are among the most common reasons people book a dermatology appointment, and among the least worrying things a doctor sees. They are benign growths, they are not contagious, and they do not turn into…
Pores do not open and close. They have no muscle, no mechanism, nothing that responds to cold water or a hot towel. What changes is how visible they are, and that is worth knowing before spending…
The spot clears in a week. The brown mark it leaves behind can still be there six months later. That mark is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and it is one of the most common reasons people book a…
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, and almost every disappointment with it starts from that misunderstanding. It is a body contouring treatment aimed at pockets of fat that stay put regardless of diet and exercise,…
Two people can have stretch marks that look similar in a photograph and get very different outcomes from the same treatment. The reason is almost always timing. A stretch mark that is still red or purple…
