Skin Boosters

Skin undergoes changes with the passage of time.

The main reasons for the ageing of the skin include excess of oxidants (free radicals) and progressive loss of intrinsic HA.

An unhealthy lifestyle associated with other factors, such as an unbalanced diet and cigarette smoking,  sun damage affecting the skin’s appearance and quality.

With age, we can lose up to 2/3 of our hyaluronic acid pool. At 35 years of age the skin’s thickness has decreased on average by about 22%. As it gets thinner, the skin becomes more  fragile, dehydrates and its elasticity diminishes, the early skins of wrinkles are starting to show.

Everybody is talking about hyaluronic acid! But how exactly does it work and which product is best for you? Hyaluronic acid injections are designed to prevent premature ageing of skin and boost radiance the face.

During your first consultation we will discuss lifestyle, your current skin regime and then make a realistic and sustainable treatment plan.

You will know by now my passion for radiant skin!

I have 15 years experience with a vast range products. I use all of the Juvederm range and have for most of my career. I do occasionally use other brands, when requested, but I have found Juvederm to offer the variety I need.

Profilo

Profhilo is creating a real buzz amongst the practitioners many referring to it “as something they have been waiting for” or as “the most exciting development in injectable treatments in a long time.. Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity.

With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) it is not only boosting and hydrating the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue.

Profilo is suitable for the face, neck, décolletage, hands stomach, arms & knees. I am the only medical practitioner in Plymouth to have undertaken the official body profile protocol training.   Profhilo is injected in the superficial subcutaneous layer using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Point) technique.  You have 2 treatments with a month interval, depending on the level of ageing a third treatment can be carried out a month after the second treatment. It is recommend this cycle is repeated twice per year.

This product has been a game changer to my practice, I love it!

Volite

Volite is an innovative injectable treatment designed to improve skin quality for up to 9 months. This is not a dermal filler, it’s a skin conditioning Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel. Volite is injected into the middle layers of the dermis across many sites to nourish it from the inside out. Volite is suitable for all ages and skin types.  It Smoothes the skin, it does not add any volume to the area, it just reduces the appearance of fine lines.

I have found this product particularly successful around the Perioral area used on its own or in conjunction with Botox, this can give a very pleasing and lasting result.

Redensity 1

It  is a mix of HA, Amino Acids, Anit-Oxidents & Vitamin B this is made by Teoxane, I predominately  use this product under the eye using a Mesotherapy technique. Perfect for smoothing, hydrating making the skin appear more radiant and beautiful. I often use this in conjunction with Botox, to soften away those Crows feet and C-Quence Eye Gel to protect the delicate skin around the eyes.

For an optimal result, it is recommended to follow the complete protocol to extend the effects of the treatment and obtain long-lasting results:

For an optimum treatment: 3 sessions at 3-week intervals for immediate and cumulative results.

To maintenance treatment of the results, as soon as the need is felt, or schedule 1 session usually 2-3 times a year.

Polynucleotides

Is a revolutionary approach to skin regeneration, yes that’s correct. You have probably all been watching the endless tic toc videos of people saying they are having Salmon sperm injected into their faces! Yuck..

In truth polynucleotides are derived from fragments of DNA and RNA, to form long chains, very similar to that of HA. However, the main aim is not to add volume, but rather stimulate fibroblasts at a cellular level, promoting restoration and rejuvenation go through skin. The results are subtle but can enhance the dullest of skin and are perfect to use in conjunction with toxin around the eyes.

I personally still prefer Profhilo for the full face and neck, and reserve Polynucleotides for around the eyes, and to line chase in those areas that need address but do not require volume.

All About the Eyes

Our eyes the windows to our souls, they express our emotions and feelings.There are many reasons why we have dark circles or hollows under eyes, stress, lifestyle, thin skin, hereditary factors. Dark circles can give the impression of tired, dull and aged appearance the under eye area loses its sparkle.

Redensity 2 is a hyaluronic acid that holds moisture like a sponge, to help the delicate under eye area to aid  keep the skin, soft and firm. I will administer  Redensity 2 using a cannula to the under eye area, this will take between 20-30 minutes. You may get some bruising and localised swelling, which will settle. You will get immediate and long lasting aesthetic results. I will review the results after 1 month.

Redensity 1 is also a HA, Amino Acids, Anit-Oxidents & Vitamin B. This is ideal for more mature and aged skin, I predominately  use this product under the eye using a Mesotherapy technique. Perfect for smoothing, hydrating making the skin appear more radiant and beautiful.

For the best results you will have 3 treatments at 3 week intervals. To maintain your results I recommend you have maintenance treatment every 3-4 months.
