Injectables
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular form of injectable procedure that can be used to simply and effectively treat a range of moderate facial creases, lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can also be used as a lip filler to restore lost volume and define the lips.
Facial filler and lip filler treatments are quick, minimally invasive and have very little downtime. The results are visible immediately after treatment and will look their best at 6-8 weeks post treatment.
We use Juvederm, the industry leading filler product made by Allergan.

Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are an anti-aging injection that stimulate tissue repair and encourage restoration and regeneration of the skin from within. They can be used in a wide range of applications as a rejuvenating treatment for older skin and as a preventative treatment for younger skin.
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides that make up DNA and RNA molecules. They are derived from fragments of fish DNA [which resemble human DNA], which means they have the ability to function as a biostimulator, kick-starting regeneration in the skin. Not only are they anti-inflammatory, thanks to their antioxidant properties, but they increase collagen production, resulting in a thicker, healthier epidermis.
Price
£250 single treatment.
£400 for two treatments.
£600 for three treatments.
Downtime
Some discomfort is felt for a short time at each injection site however this soon disappears. Small lumps under the skin will be felt for a day or two.

Wrinkle Relaxing Injections
Using a purified protein called Botulinum Toxin Type A, the product can effectively reduce facial expression lines and wrinkles, also known as dynamic lines and wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin Type A, also known as Botox™ is a prescription-only medication that works to deliver wrinkle relaxing. By law Botox ™ can only be prescribed by a qualified medical prescriber.
Once injected, Botulinum Toxin Type A relaxes the specific facial muscles that cause unwanted lines on the face. Line and wrinkle relaxing treatment can effectively target problem areas such as deep creases between the brows (frown lines), crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines. Once the anti wrinkle treatment has taken full effect, these creases, fine lines and wrinkles at the treatment site will appear dramatically reduced, resulting in a smoother complexion.
Price

Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectables that improve skin texture, elasticity, hydration and overall appearance. The treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid, which is a soft, gel-like substance under the skin, which improves the skin’s elasticity, firmness and radiance giving an overall GLOW. They also works to simultaneously stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.
As we age, we lose approximately 1% of our Hyaluronic Acid (HA) stores per year after the age of 30. Thus, resulting in fine lines and loss of facial volume. Skin Boosters treat the physiological depletion of Hyaluronic Acid within the skin via the infiltration of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) back into the skin’s dermis.
The Skin Boosters used are Profhilo, Puresense Redensity 1 and Seventy Hyal.
Price
Profhilo Face: £300 single treatment,
£550 for two treatments or £750 for three treatments.
Seventy Hyal: £175 single treatment,

£350 for two treatments or £500 for three treatments.
Downtime
You can have this treatment in a lunch break and return to work straight away. Small, localised bumps may appear at the injection points. These will start to diffuse within 4-6 hours.
Frequency
Usually, two to three treatments, four weeks apart will be required to achieve the desired result. Treatment will then need to be topped up every 6-12 months determined by skin quality.
Procedure time
30 minutes
Science
Skin booster injections are a soft, gel-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and holds incredible amounts of moisture, resulting in elasticity, firmness and radiance.
