Dermoperfection pride themselves on being amongst the first clinics to introduce revolutionary treatments like EMSCULPT. This week I went along to their EMSCULPT party to find out more. I knew that EMSCULPT is creating a huge buzz at the moment, including with celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Kim Kardashian. EMSCULPT is a treatment that sculpts the body – after just one 30 minute session, you’ll see results only usually achievable with 20,000 sit-ups! So I was really interested to find out more and try it out.
As part of the EMSCULPT party I got to try out a 10 minute sample session to get an idea of what the treatment is all about. It’s all very easy. The paddles are attached to your body with a belt. you can have your clothes underneath. So you are set up ready to go in a minute or two. Then the intensity is taken up to 40%, the minimum needed for results. Gradually it’s increased beyond as you get used to the feel of the treatment. There are three phases: pulses of activity, a sustained longer pulse and then the muscles are tapped to encourage lactic acid to disperse. At 40% it felt like I had a vibrating phone on my stomach, but the higher intensities are obviously stronger than that. Obviously, you can have a say over the level of intensity you are comfortable with. As soon as the session is over and the paddles are removed, you are good to go on your way. There’s no downtime.
All in all it’s a really easy treatment and I’m keen to try out a course of EMSCULPT. If you are interested in finding out more about the treatment, here are some of the details:
EMSCULPT is a non-invasive technology that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions, which leads to increased muscle tone and strength. This technology was first introduced in 2018 and has quickly gained popularity as a non-surgical alternative to traditional body contouring procedures.
During an EMSCULPT treatment, a special device is used to deliver electromagnetic energy to targeted areas of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, or thighs. This energy causes the muscles in the area to contract, which can lead to increased muscle mass and improved muscle tone over time.
The treatment typically takes around 30 minutes per session, and most patients require a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions needed depends on the patient’s individual goals and the areas being treated. For example, patients looking to achieve a more toned abdomen may need 4-6 treatments, while those looking to enhance their buttocks may require 6-8 treatments.
One of the benefits of EMSCULPT is that it is a non-invasive procedure, which means there is no downtime or recovery period required. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, some patients may experience mild muscle soreness or discomfort following the treatment, which typically resolves within a few days.

Recently, I was approached by Revive Collagen, an innovative beauty brand that offers real results for women of all ages, to try out their Revive Collagen Enhanced Plus. As we age, our natural collagen levels deplete, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin. Revive Collagen offers liquid collagen that can be taken once a day for optimal results. The Revive Collagen drink has an impressive absorption rate of 90% to 95%, which is considerably higher than that of collagen tablets, of which only 30% to 40% is absorbed by the body.
After just a few weeks of use, my skin seems to have significantly improved. I’ve achieved better results than just taking collagen in capsule form. My skin feels less sensitive and looks plumper, more hydrated, and smoother. I’m delighted with the progress I’ve made so far.
WHAT IS INTRACEL PRO™?
Layering seems to be the trend with clothes fashion this winter, lending itself to the cold weather and the cost of energy. As a jewellery fashion trend though, layering goes from strength to strength. Harry Styles has embraced the trend and given it new wings. Loading multiple fingers with numerous rings is a chic way to attain a maximum layering effect. There aren’t any rules as such when it comes to layering. It’s all about going freestyle. But if you are still a little hesitant and need help with curating your look, we can be there to guide you along the way.
Brothers Paul and John Havelin – also owners of the popular and successful Jonathans in the Park eatery, which is based in Lightwoods House in Bearwood – have brought their signature style to this new restaurant in the city’s iconic Roundhouse. Paul actually began his hospitality career in the renowned Jonathans restaurant in Oldbury (on the junction of Hagley Road and Wolverhampton Road) forty years ago, under the guidance of owners Jonathan Baker and Jonathan Bedford who trained him from being a schoolboy washer up to head chef by the age of seventeen.
The food is very varied: you can simply pop in for a barista coffee with a delicious slice of cake or book in for a sumptuous afternoon tea. You might prefer to come along for a relaxing three course Sunday lunch. I’ve tried all these options (and more) at the Jonathans in the Park, which is somewhere I go very regularly. For me the afternoon tea is the stand out choice as the surroundings lend themselves to this sort of culinary treat very well. There’s a good range of choices on the menu and there should be something for everyone. As I’ve come to expect from Jonathans they have selected good quality products to offer and the food is carefully prepared to high standards. It’s the perfect place to have a delicious treat or more.

The first thing that happened was that we were given a colouring sheet and crayons. The crayons were dropped one by one on the table with a frown. Don’t expect this to be therapeutic colouring – the paper is too shiny and the crayons are poor quality. To be honest though it just added to the experience. We coloured in our Karens and studied the menu. Whilst we were doing that some diners were told to come up for a game – a sort of punishment I think. They spun the wheel and the person that had been picked on had to do the dare. The first victim was soon crawling around on the floor and barking as part of her dog impression. She took it all in good part. The next victim got karaoke, but didn’t seem too keen. The staff seemed to realise his genuine discomfort and instead got the whole section up on their feet for a quick round of head, shoulders, knees and toes. It’s a bit noisy in the restaurant, so your embarrassing experience is unlikely to be heard by anyone sitting more than a couple of tables away.
This water-resistant backpack for men features adjustable straps, a large main compartment and a deep front pocket. Secure zippers keep your stuff safe while life happens. There are also open side pockets.
The straps are comfortably padded and adjustable to fit your body. They are perfect for carrying the sort of weights, you tend to carry for a weekend away. At the top of the bag there’s a grab handle, which is great for quick pick ups. There’s also a detachable tag with a D looped fastening. You could easily hang something from this if you wanted.
I was sent a selection of their products to try out and see what I thought. The first product I tried was
