What the video says

Lost a little bounce?
with time Less water, less spring As we get older, skin holds less water and makes less collagen, so it can start to look thin and crepey.
what I use Profhilo by IBSA Pure hyaluronic acid, far more concentrated than most boosters. It adds no volume, so your features stay your own.
Right for you? Your first chat with me is free. We talk about your skin and your health before a needle comes out.

Then it spreads A small bead under the skin It flows out about 2 cm It keeps working over the next few weeks
straight after Tiny marks, briefly Any marks at the points are hard to notice. They usually settle within 24 to 48 hours, and a little redness is normal.
the first night Sleep on your back Leave makeup off until the morning. No alcohol, saunas or hard workouts for 24 hours, drink plenty of water, and skip peels and facials for two weeks.

Before you book

The honest details.

What they are

Injectable hyaluronic acid, some with amino acids, vitamins or other ingredients. Placed in tiny droplets just under the skin, for better skin quality rather than volume or shape.
Why skin changes. Younger skin holds more water, makes more collagen and recovers faster. Boosters give your skin some of the building blocks it uses for those jobs.
Gradual change. You may not see a big difference in a photo. After about six weeks, people may say your skin looks different without knowing why.
The right product. Derma Eye is for the skin under the eyes. The others help hydration and skin quality in different ways. I choose after looking at your skin.

Is it for me?

Your skin looks dehydrated, dull or tired even when you sleep well.
You want better skin without changing your features.
You’re new to aesthetics and not ready for filler.
You want to maintain results between filler appointments.
You’re 18 or over, in good general health, and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

I’ll recommend something else, or send you elsewhere, if you:

Want instant volume or lift. That’s filler, not a booster.
Have an active autoimmune flare.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have an active skin infection in the area.
Have event photos in the next 2 weeks. Small bumps can take 24 to 48 hours to settle.

Aftercare

Leave the small bumps alone for the first few hours and they settle on their own.
Leave make up off until the next morning.
No alcohol, hard exercise or saunas for 24 hours.
No facials, peels or microneedling for 14 days.
Sleep on your back the first night if you can.
Drink plenty of water to support the hydration.

Risks

Lower risk than most injectables. The product sits in the top layer of skin, away from deeper blood vessels.
Common: small bumps that settle in 12 to 48 hours, small red marks, and bruising now and then.
Rare: an allergic reaction, or infection at the injection points. Good aftercare helps prevent infection.

Common questions

Good to know.

How many sessions do I need?

Most protocols are two sessions, four weeks apart. Then a maintenance session every 4 to 6 months. The exact protocol depends on the product. We agree it at consultation.

What’s the difference between skin boosters and filler?

Skin boosters don’t add volume or change your features. They improve the underlying quality of your skin. Hydration. Elasticity. Texture. Filler is structural. Boosters are about skin condition. Many clients use both at different appointments.

Will I see results immediately?

No. That’s the trade-off. Boosters work over weeks. Not days. You usually notice the change after the second session, around the 6-week mark. The 6-week-later “your skin looks different” comment is the milestone.

What’s the difference between Derma Eye, Seventy Hyal, Lumi Pro, Jalupro and Profhilo?

Different jobs. Derma Eye focuses on under eye skin quality, fluid puffiness and dark circles rather than adding volume. Seventy Hyal supports straightforward deep hydration. Lumi Pro combines brightening with hydration for dull skin. Jalupro Classic combines amino acids with hyaluronic acid to support skin quality. Profhilo is used as a full face skin quality protocol.

How long do results last?

After a 2-session course, results usually hold for 4 to 6 months. Maintenance is one session every 4 to 6 months. If you stop, your skin goes back to baseline gradually.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. Small papules at the injection points for 12 to 48 hours. Mild redness for an hour or two. No makeup until the next day. Most clients are back to normal within 24 hours.

Can I combine boosters with other treatments?

Yes, where suitable and carefully sequenced. They may be planned with microneedling or polynucleotides. Rachel will explain an appropriate interval for your individual plan.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream first. The injections are very superficial. You feel pin-prick pressure. Not sharp pain. Most clients find it more comfortable than lip filler.

Will it help with acne or scarring?

Boosters help skin quality. But they’re not the right tool for active acne or scar tissue specifically. For scarring or texture, microneedling or polynucleotides are usually a better choice. We talk through the right combination at consultation.

Can I have it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. We wait. The principle for non-essential cosmetic treatment in pregnancy is to put it on hold.
