Injectable Treatments Guide

Anti-wrinkle injections are best for those with dynamic wrinkles, early signs of ageing or facial overactivity and can be used to target a variety of areas and concerns:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines
• Teeth grinding and Bruxism
• Nefertiti lift (platysmal bands)
• Brow lift
• Gummy smile
• Chin dimpling
• Excess sweating/ Hyperhidrosis (palms, soles, underarms

Anti-wrinkle injections typically last between three and four months on the face, with most people noticing their muscle movement returning around four months. How long the effects last can vary from person to person, as some break down the neurotoxin more quickly while others take longer. With ongoing use and regular maintenance, many patients find that the results can last a little longer between treatments, as the muscles become gradually trained to move less in the treated areas.

Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers work in entirely different ways and are used to treat different concerns. They’re usually grouped together because they are both ‘injectables’ seen as quick procedures that people can have done in a short appointment.

Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce facial lines, soften wrinkles and release tension, while dermal filler adds volume and hydration to the deeper fat pads.

Fillers are used to replace the volume lost through ageing through naturally lifting. They should be replacing the fat pads deep within the structure of the face. Loss of fat pads causes the overlying skin to fall downward creating jowls and folds in the skin. Replacing the fat pads lifts the skin back up to its previous natural position. Dermal fillers are also used to address asymmetry and balance areas that naturally have less fullness

Both treatments can be used together to deliver balanced harmony to the face.

Dermal fillers can be used to treat a wide range of facial areas by restoring support, volume and balance where it has been lost. The exact filler used depends on the area and the depth required.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most versatile and are commonly used across the face due to their natural feel and reversibility:

• Cheeks
• Lips
• Under-eyes
• Temples
• Lateral and medial cheeks
• Lips and area around the mouth
• Under eyes, tear trough and sunken cheeks
• Jawline, chin

In areas needing stronger structural support, such as the jawline or chin, collagen-stimulating fillers like calcium hydroxylapatite may be more appropriate. For broader, gradual volume loss, biostimulatory fillers such as poly-L-lactic acid can be used to encourage the body’s own collagen production over time.

Results from dermal filler typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used and your individual metabolism. Treatments can be adjusted over time as your face naturally changes.

No, when performed correctly by a qualified medical professional, natural-looking dermal fillers should appear subtle and balanced. The aim is to restore what has been lost through ageing rather than to exaggerate features. Unnatural results usually come from overfilling, poor product choice or inadequate understanding of facial anatomy.

When comparing PRP fillers to dermal filler, they may look similar on a flat surface and appear to hold their shape. However, hyaluronic acid fillers are engineered to withstand pressure and maintain structure within the tissues. PRP fillers, provides short-term volume but stimulates collagen and tissue regeneration over time.

PRP filler can be used in areas where subtle volume and skin quality improvement are needed. This may include:

• Tear troughs
• Fine lines
• Crepey skin
• Areas requiring subtle volume with regenerative support

PRP fillers are ideal for anyone seeking subtle corrections without synthetic filler material.

The results from PRP fillers improve with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, as each session amplifies the regenerative effect. Volume effects will last between 3 and 6 months, whilst the regenerative skin benefits can last longer.

Unlike fillers, PRP does not add volume. Instead, it works biologically to regenerate the skin from within, improving skin quality, texture, tone and elasticity over time. It’s a regenerative approach to anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation and is ideal for:

• Skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Fine lines and under-eye hollows
• Acne scarring (often combined with microneedling or laser)
• Post-procedure healing
• Hair restoration

PRP treatment results develop gradually and generally last 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as your overall health, age, treatment area and skin condition. For optimal results, we recommend a course of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.

Yes, PRP injections are generally very safe. Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions, disease transmission, or immune system complications is extremely low. The procedure is minimally invasive and side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, bruising,or tenderness at the injection site. PRP has been used for many years in both aesthetic and medical applications, and when performed by a medical practitioner, it’s considered a reliable method to rejuvenate and improve the skin.

Skin booster results typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the type of skin booster used, your individual skin condition, age, metabolism and lifestyle factors.

For best and longest-lasting results, skin boosters are usually performed as a course of treatments, most commonly three sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. This allows hydration levels to build gradually and collagen production to be stimulated over time. Maintenance treatments every six months are recommended to preserve improvements.

Skin boosters can be used on multiple areas where skin quality tends to decline over time. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage and hands. They can also be used on areas with crepey or fragile skin where hydration and elasticity have been lost.

Yes, skin boosters work exceptionally well alongside other aesthetic treatments. They are often used as a foundation treatment before or alongside regenerative therapies such as polynucleotides, Profhilo, PRP or device-based treatments. When combined, they enhance overall skin health and improve the longevity and quality of results.

Polynucleotides are generally very safe because they are biocompatible with our skin. There is a very low risk of allergic reactions or complications. Treatments are minimally invasive, injected directly into the skin without going deeper, which further reduces risks. They are only performed by regulated practitioners using high-quality products from leading pharmaceutical companies that have undergone rigorous clinical trials.

Anyone looking to improve their skin is a good candidate for polynucleotide treatments. They are particularly effective for:

• Thin or fragile skin
• Eye area rejuvenation
• Neck and décolletage
• Inflammatory skin conditions
• Post-laser or post-procedure healing
• Early ageing and skin fatigue

If you have allergies, active skin conditions or infections, you should consult a practitioner before seeking treatment.

The results and skin benefits from polynucleotides build gradually and typically last 6 to 9 months after a course (usually 2 to 3 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart). It typically takes a couple of weeks after your last session for the skin to bio-stimulate and show visible rejuvenation and regeneration effects.

Profhilo can be used on several areas of the face and body, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms and other body areas affected by crepey skin. It is a versatile treatment that works well wherever skin quality needs improvement.

Profhilo takes approximately 28 days to fully biodegrade within the skin, during which time improvements in hydration, texture and firmness continue to develop.

Most patients begin to notice subtle improvements in skin quality within a few weeks of their first session, such as increased glow and smoother texture. However, the best and most noticeable results are typically seen after completing the recommended course of two treatments, spaced four weeks apart. Final results usually become visible around two months after the first treatment

Results from Profhilo typically last between 6 and 9 months following a full course of treatment. In some individuals, benefits may last up to 12 months, depending on factors such as age, skin condition, metabolism, lifestyle and overall skin health.

There are two main types of Profhilo:

• Profhilo: Designed for skin rejuvenation, improving hydration, firmness and elasticity. It stimulates collagen and elastin production to give a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Profhilo Structura: Targets superficial fat restoration, ideal for areas like sunken cheeks and cheek hollows. Rather than adding volume, it supports and regenerates the superficial fat layer beneath the skin, improving structure and contour naturally.

Hyaluronic acid fillers provide predictable, immediate volume and contour. Bio stimulators, on the other hand, focus on gradually rejuvenating the skin by stimulating your own collagen production. Over weeks and months, this encourages firmer, thicker and more resilient tissue.

Bio stimulators work gradually by activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen over several weeks to months. While you may notice some initial volume from the carrier gel, the full benefits develop over time. Results from a course of treatments (usually 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart) can last two years or more.

Absolutely. They are often paired with hyaluronic acid fillers to refine shape and add definition once a collagen foundation has been restored. They can also be combined with energy-based treatments for enhanced skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Collagen stimulation begins within a few weeks and continues for up to 3 to 4 months after each treatment. The effects of Juläine can last up to two years due to the long-acting PLLA microspheres.

Ideal candidates for Juläine are adults seeking to improve collagen, elasticity and skin firmness. Most commonly, patients aged 40 to 60 notice the first signs of ageing, but younger or older patients with skin damage or laxity can also benefit. Most skin types respond well, though it’s not recommended for very thin skin or areas with minimal subcutaneous tissue, such as the lips or tear trough.
