NEW IRISH APP CONNECTS YOU WITH A PROFESSIONAL ON YOUR PHONE FOR EVERYTHING FROM FAT REDUCTION TO FILLER

Finding the perfect provider for aesthetic treatments like fat reduction, filler, Botox and more can be a bit more difficult than you might imagine.

Everyone recommends that you do your homework before deciding where you will go to get the treatment you desire, but for the smaller jobs like filler and Botox, most people will rely on word of mouth.

That's not entirely the best route, and we have all heard about botch jobs and less-than-sanitary backstreet 'clinics' that are little more than the back rooms of someone's house or salon. But a new Irish app has been created to find the perfect professional for you and the treatment you wish to have, this is so interesting.

New App

The new app is called MeTime and it was developed by Dr Peter Prendergast of Venus Medical and Everyderm in Dublin and it's available for iPhones and Android phones. Once downloaded, you sign up for an account and start your journey with the professionals within the app.

Peter says 'I've been in aesthetics for over 19 years and believed there was a need to remove confusion for patients interested in cosmetic procedures. There are so many! And also I wanted users to get easy access to advice from aesthetic medical professionals. Clinics and providers offering treatments like botox and fillers must be medical professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses, surgeon). MeTime offers users a frictionless user experience. You just have to take a short video explaining what you want. You'll get instant suggestions, and price guides, and can submit your journey securely to providers near you through the app.'

Getting Information

Peter says more than 20,000 people have now signed up to the app, and so have plenty of professionals to deal with their enquiries. However, there is no need to commit to anything at all, the app has lots of features like blogs and information on treatments, so it's a good source for finding out what different options are out there and what to expect if you commit to getting fat reduction, body contouring or a brow lift.

The app covers regular ailments as well as cosmetic ones, so excessive sweating, bunions, teeth straightening and whitening are there as well so it's a resourceful app. If you do want to get a face or body treatment, here's how it works.

Face Treatments, Hair Restoration & Fat Reduction

Your journey in MeTime starts with a simple selection of the area you hope to treat, from the face, neck, skin, hair, body, teeth or intimate. In each of these areas, you can pick exactly what you want to treat so within the face section you might choose eye bag surgery, lips, nose surgery, cheek restoration and many more.

Hair restoration is also on the app, as are lots of dental treatments, and in the body section, you will find the likes of contouring, fat reduction, varicose veins, flat feet and breast enhancement/reduction. Once you have done that you can do one of two things to get in touch with a practitioner.

Photo Upload

You can skip to get recommendations and suggestions if you know what you want already and you can guide the practitioners by selecting how dramatic a change, or subtle you want your results to be, and you can specify if you would rather a nonsurgical, minimally invasive or surgical procedure.

Alternatively, you can use the MeTime photo upload section safely and securely to get tailored treatment advice (and costings) from the practitioners on the app. It's recommended that you take photos at different angles for the best advice so, for example, if you want fat reduction on your tummy you take photos from the front and sides. Either of these routes will help you get matched with the perfect provider without ever having to book an initial consultation. This is what happens next.

Getting Treatment

So the app won't suggest practitioners halfway across the country you can select your current location and get responses just from your town or city. You can also limit who connects with you based on their area of specialities and experience, so you know you are in good hands.

The professionals respond to you through the MeTime inbox so your submission is confidential, and it's there that you can more photos if needed and get pricing and offers directly to your phone. Response time is fast on the app and it certainly seems to cut out all of that hard work on getting matched with the right practitioner. Go to MeTime on your phone's iPhone or Android store to get started.
