Restore Hydration and Improve Skin Quality With Natural Results In Grange Park, North London

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, texture, and elasticity with an immediate tightening effect. They contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains water, providing deep hydration and stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Yes. A consultation is required to assess suitability, review medical history, discuss your goals, and agree a safe treatment plan.

No. Sunekos is a skin remodelling treatment that spreads through tissue to improve hydration and skin quality. It is not used to sculpt or add volume in the same way as traditional dermal fillers.

Both Sunekos and Profhilo are skin boosters that contain hyaluronic acid, but they have some key differences:

Profhilo: Contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and uses a unique injection technique (5-point facelift) to deliver the product across a wider area with fewer injections. It is primarily used for improving skin laxity and hydration.

Sunekos: Combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen and elastin. It is designed to improve skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles, as well as stimulate collagen and elastin production.

The initial treatment protocol typically involves 3 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 months, depending on individual needs.

Most patients find the injections tolerable. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort.

Downtime is usually minimal. You may notice temporary small bumps, redness, tenderness, or occasional bruising at injection points that settle quickly.

• To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid taking anti-inflammatories (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), alcohol, fish oils, St John’s wort and vitamin A & E for 1-3 days prior to treatment.
• Do not stop prescription drugs for medical conditions without checking with your doctor first.
• You may choose to take arnica tablets/cream 2 days before to reduce the risk of bruising.

In general the downtime is minimal with mild and temporary side effects including:

• Slight redness, swelling, tenderness at the injection site.
• Occasional bruising.

If the undereye area has been treated you will be left with some undereye puffiness (where the product has been placed) that will reduce over the next 12-24 hours.

• Refrain from touching the treated area for at least 6 hours.
• Use a cool compress to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Avoid makeup for 12 hours in the treatment area
• Avoid strenuous exercise, sun and heat exposure for 24 hours.
• Consider applying arnica cream or taking arnica tablets to reduce bruising.
• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and promote healing.
• Avoid heavy alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours.
• Avoid anti-inflammatories (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), alcohol, fish oils, St John’s Wort and Vitamins A & E for at least 3 days after treatment. Do not stop prescription medications without checking with your doctor first.
• Avoid the use of retinol or medicated skin products for 2 days after treatment.
• Always wear sunscreen to protect the treated area from sun damage.
