hyaluronic acid boosters
Skin boosters offer a promising solution for individuals seeking intense hydration and rejuvenation for their skin. By targeting dryness, fine lines, and crepey skin, they present a viable alternative to more invasive anti-wrinkle treatments. The use of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, underscores their focus on hydration and skin revitalisation.
Moreover, the emergence of trends like the liquid facelift indicates a shift towards gentler approaches to anti-aging. Skin boosters, such as Jalupro or Profhilo, appear to fit this trend well by providing subtle yet effective results compared to more widely known non-surgical treatments like Laser/IPL, Radio Frequency Micro Needling and HIFU.
It’s interesting to note how the landscape of aesthetic medicine is constantly evolving, I always aim to provide a variety of options to address your concerns. While skincare routines certainly play a crucial role in maintaining skin health, the targeted effects of aesthetic injections like skin boosters can provide unparalleled benefits in terms of hydration and rejuvenation
JALUPRO
Jalupro is a remarkable skin booster designed for aesthetic use and widely used on skin over the age of 45. Composed of a blend of amino acids and hyaluronic acid, it acts as a dermal bio-revitaliser—a collagen booster for the skin.
Jalupro can target multiple areas, stimulating your body to increase its own collagen and elastin production as well as hydrating the areas treated. This process enhances overall skin quality, turning back the years and making your skin appear brighter and fresher.
When injected, Jalupro activates fibroblasts in the skin. These cells then produce collagen and elastin, restoring elasticity and volume. The result? A rejuvenated and revitalised appearance.
For optimal results, it’s recommended to have 2 treatments, spaced 3 weeks apart. The effects of Jalupro can last 6 to 9 months, after which a maintenance treatment is advised.
As with any injectable treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. Applying arnica gel can help alleviate these symptoms.
Remember, Jalupro is distinct from Botox—it doesn’t relax facial muscles but focuses on enhancing skin quality by hydrating and stimulating collagen synthesis.
PROFHILO
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment designed to improve skin quality and hydration. It’s composed of highly purified hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain hydration and skin elasticity. However, what sets Profhilo apart from traditional dermal fillers is its innovative formulation and mode of action.
Unlike traditional fillers that add volume to specific areas of the face, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the skin’s surface, hydrating and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve overall skin quality, firmness, and elasticity. Profhilo contains a hybrid complex of high and low molecular weight HA, which allows it to not only provide immediate hydration but also stimulate tissue repair and remodeling over time.
The treatment involves a series of injections administered strategically across multiple points of the face or other areas of concern, such as the neck or décolletage. The procedure is relatively quick, often taking around 15-30 minutes, and typically requires two sessions spaced about a month apart for optimal results.
Patients may experience some mild discomfort during the injections, but this is usually well-tolerated. After the treatment, there may be some minor swelling or redness at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
The effects of Profhilo gradually become noticeable over the following weeks as the hyaluronic acid works to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Patients typically see improvements in skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance, with results lasting for several months.
Profhilo is often favoured by individuals seeking a natural-looking enhancement with minimal downtime. It’s suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages, making it a versatile option for anyone looking to improve skin quality and combat the signs of aging.
