SKIN BOOSTERS AND BIOSTIMULATORS

Skin boosters and biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality rather than adding volume or changing facial shape.Different treatments work in different ways. Some primarily improve hydration and smoothness, while others stimulate fibroblast activity and support the production of collagen and elastin. Depending on the treatment chosen, they can help improve hydration, elasticity, fine lines, skin texture and overall skin quality.I offer a carefully selected range of treatments, allowing me to tailor treatment to your individual skin, the area being treated and what you would like to achieve.

Depending on the treatment chosen, skin boosters and biostimulators can help improve dehydration, dullness, fine lines, loss of elasticity, crepey or thinning skin and uneven skin texture.Some treatments focus more on hydration and smoothness, while others support collagen and elastin production or target age-related changes in skin quality and facial support. The most appropriate treatment will depend on your individual skin concerns and the area being treated.

These treatments work in different ways depending on their formulation.Sunekos® combines hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of amino acids designed to stimulate fibroblast activity and support the production of collagen and elastin.Profhilo® uses highly concentrated hyaluronic acid to improve hydration and support the remodelling of the skin, while Profhilo Structura® is designed to work more deeply within the superficial fat to address age-related changes and loss of SKINVIVE™ uses microdroplets of hyaluronic acid placed within the skin to improve hydration, smoothness and skin quality.Polynucleotides work differently again, supporting cellular repair and fibrobloast activity to improve the quality of ageing or damaged skin. Although there is some overlap in what these treatments can achieve, their mechanisms and strengths are different. This allows me to select the treatment most suited to your skin, concerns and treatment area.

Although these treatments can address some of the same skin concerns, their ingredients and formulations are quite different. Sunekos® combines hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of six amino acids, designed to support fibroblast activity and the production of collagen and elastin.Profhilo® contains high- and low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid combined using a patented thermal process, without the chemical cross-linking used in traditional dermal fillers. Profhilo Structura® uses the same type of hybrid HA technology but at a higher concentration and with different properties, specifically designed to work within the superficial facial fat.SKINVIVE™ contains a modified hyaluronic acid gel designed to spread within the skin, where tiny amounts are injected to improve hydration, smoothness and skin quality.Polynucleotides don't rely on hyaluronic acid as their principal active ingredient. They contain highly purified fragments of DNA, used to support tissue repair and improve skin quality. The formulations of the boosters and biostimulators and the way they behave within the tissues are quite different.

Your treatment will begin with a consultation and assessment of your skin before the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed.Depending on the product and the area being treated, the treatment is performed using a fine needle or cannula. The injection technique varies between treatments- some are placed at a small number of carefully selected points, while others use multiple tiny injections across the treatment area.Most appointments take around 30-45 minutes. Some treatments can cause brief stinging or discomfort during injection, and topical anaesthetic may be used where appropriate.

After your treatment, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions. Common recommendations include avoiding vigorous exercise, extreme temperatures, and prolonged sun exposure for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Following these guidelines helps minimize any temporary side effects and ensures optimal results.

Yes, these boosters can be effectively integrated with other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle treatments, skin peels or microneedling. Combining treatments can provide a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation, and we’ll tailor a plan that meets your unique requirements.

Yes.Skin boosters and biostimulatory treatments provide improvements that are not permanent, so maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the effects. How often maintenance is needed will vary depending on the treatment, your skin and how you respond.
