Cosmetic and Medical Skin Treatments[edit]

Skin Treatments[edit]
Dr Tim Pearce is a highly trained and experienced practitioner of cosmetic and medical skin treatments, as well as training others in his unique methods.
Popular Anti-Ageing Injections[edit]
Botox® Anti-Wrinkle Injections
The world’s favourite anti-ageing treatment, using botullinum toxin (BOTOX®), approved for cosmetic use under the brand name, Vistabel. Treatment is particularly effective at smoothing out lines and wrinkles in the upper face, such as forehead and frown lines or crows’ feet around the eyes.
Dr Tim is renowned for a particularly effective result that manages to remain natural and retain the patient’s expressions.
Dermal Fillers[edit]
Modern dermal fillers are based on synthesised hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin but depletes over time, causing creases, lines and wrinkles to appear.
Facial fillers are used to replenish lost volume, smoothing out the surface of the skin by erasing the lines and creases.
Reshaping with Fillers[edit]
Lip Fillers[edit]
Lip enhancement is a very popular procedure. Among younger patients, it can be used simply to boost the natural volume of the lip area, sculpting a more attractive and balanced smile shape. For smokers or older patients, it has a rejuvenation result too, by smoothing out ageing lines (especially severe in smokers) for a more youthful look. Dr Pearce is a true lip filler artist, ensuring a good aesthetic result as well as comfortable injection process.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty[edit]
It is surprising how significantly a non-surgical nose job can be. Using dermal fillers, a crooked or asymmetrical nose can be made more balanced and even. Smoothing out bumps makes the nose look straighter.
Surgical nose jobs involve 12 months of recovery, but a non-surgical nose job provides an instant result with no down time. No wonder it is becoming more popular!
Exclusive to Dr Tim Pearce[edit]
VivaLift[edit]
Dr Tim Pearce personally designed the VivaLift procedure in order to restore a youthful ‘V’ shape in a natural way without surgery. Using longer lasting fillers, the procedure works on lifting and rejuvenating the mid section of the face. Using his own specially developed injection techniques called ArqVectoring™ and MultiMicropoint™ the results are natural but highly effective, and it’s now a viable alternative to a surgical facelift.
Training[edit]
SkinViva Training was established to offer high quality training in cosmetic and medical skin treatments for medical professionals in the North West. The training school in Central Manchester is easily accessible and highly equipped for delegates’ comfort.

Popular Courses[edit]
Combined Botox & Dermal Fillers Course[edit]
This is the highly popular foundation course covering both botox and fillers for new practitioners and demonstrating how these two injectable treatments can work to rejuvenate the face without surgery.
The course is recommended for all delegates to ensure a proper foundation of learning is in place before progressing to the more advanced courses.
Lip Enhancement Course[edit]
Lip enhancement involves great artistry as well as skill. The Lip Enhancement & Anaesthesia course has been designed to deliver a more advanced practical and theoretical knowledge of lip fillers. It also covers safe use of anaesthesia for a comfortable treatment experience.
