Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters are an innovative and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin from within. Unlike traditional moisturisers and topical products, Skin Boosters target the skin's deeper layers to provide long lasting hydration, improve texture, and promote a youthful glow. They are injectable treatments comprised of hyaluronic acid, amino acids and peptides.
I use the brand Jalupro which is technically labelled as a ‘dermal biorevitaliser’. The science behind Jalupro works by feeding the connective tissue under the skin layers, otherwise known as fibroblasts. Fibroblasts produce collagen and repair skin to ensure it always has elasticity and a great-looking texture. With a unique blend of active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and a potent amino acid complex, Jalupro enhances skin elasticity, firmness, and luminosity over an extended period.
Through a series of treatment sessions spaced at regular intervals, the skin will remain revitalized and silky smooth. Jalupro is an extremely efficient biorevitaliser that offers remarkable benefits. Firstly, it provides deep hydration to dry and lackluster skin, maintaining its moisture levels for a duration of 6 months. Consequently, the skin becomes noticeably firmer and healthier. Additionally, it effectively diminishes the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles, resulting in a significantly younger and fresher complexion. This versatile product is suitable for both early and advanced stages of skin aging, as well as for individuals with dry skin. It can also be used in a variety of areas including the face, neck, decolletage, hands, knees and inner thighs.
Which Jalupro is best for me?
I use two types of Jalupro: HMW and Super Hydro
HMW - contains hyaluronic acid and amino acids. This formulation requires less treatments over a shorter period of time so the full results will be seen quicker. Generally best for younger skin.
Super Hydro - contains more hyaluronic acid, amino acids plus peptides. It requires more treatments over a longer period and is more expensive but the formula is superior. Generally best for more mature skin.
Whatever your skin type and condition, you will see results with either formulation.
How many treatments will I require?
Jalupro HMW generally requires 2 treatments spaced 20 days apart.
Jalupro Super Hydro generally requires 3 treatments 4 weeks apart.
How long will the treatment take?
The treatments can be completed within 30-45 minutes depending on the area of focus and whether a topical numbing cream is applied prior to the injections.
Under Eye Rejuvenation
Under eye skin boosters are a revolutionary non-surgical treatment designed to address common concerns in the delicate area beneath the eyes, such as dark circles, fine lines, puffiness and hollowness. By injecting complex, revitalising formulations into the area these skin boosters deeply hydrate the skin, enhance texture, and promote a refreshed, youthful appearance.
The brands I use are illuma Luna and Nucleofill Eyes. The main ingredients in both products are highly purified polymerized polynucleotides capable of activating the skin’s bio-regeneration processes both deep down (fat and bone tissue) and in the dermis (fibroblast stimulation). This means it works as a cell signalling molecule, stimulating the skin cells to produce more collagen, become more contractile and attract water to the area. Resulting in the skin being lifted, hydrated and tightened. Generally, only two - four sessions are required for the eye area to look refreshed and more youthful. The skin tissue around the eyes immediately appears much softer and nourished due to the deep hydration, which takes place from the inside out.
Which brand is best for me?
illuma Luna - contains polynucleotides, peptides and hyaluronic acid. Requires more initial treatments but results can be immediate and will last 6 months. Best for dark circles.
Nucleofill Eyes - contains polynucleotides. Requires less initial treatments but full results will be seen 1-2 months after the last treatment and will last 6-12 months. Best for crepey skin.
Whatever your skin type and condition, you will see results with either formulation.
How many treatments will I require?
illuma Luna generally requires 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
Nucleofill Eyes generally requires 2 treatments 2-3 weeks apart.
How long will the treatment take?
The treatments can be completed within 30-45 minutes depending on the area of focus and whether a topical numbing cream is applied prior to the injections.
B12 Injections
Vitamin B12 injections are a powerful way to enhance your energy levels, improve mood and support overall health. Essential for the proper functioning of your brain and body, B12 plays a vital tole in energy production, red blood cell formation and the maintenance of nerve function. For those with B12 deficiencies or those seeking an energy boost, B12 injections offer a fast acting, effective solution.
Many people obtain B12 naturally through foods such as meat, dairy and eggs but factors such as dietary restrictions (like vegetarian or vegan diets), certain health conditions or ageing can lead to a deficiency in this nutrient. B12 deficiency can lead to several symptoms, including:
- extreme fatigue or weakness
- pale skin
- shortness of breath
- dizziness
- numbness or tingling (especially in the hands and feet)
- palpitations
- mood changes, irritability, anxiety or depression
- anemia
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to check your B12 levels. If you are deficient you will be able to get the injections via the NHS, if your results are borderline deficient or on the low side you will need to get the injections privately. Personally, I suffered with all of the above symptoms and my test results were not deficient, nor even borderline, just on the low side. After having the injections I saw vast improvements in every symptom and I cannot recommend it highly enough! These injections are very safe due to B12 being a water soluble vitamin, your body will excrete what is not required in the form of urine, therefore it is not possible to overdose on this particular vitamin.
Mesogun (Mesotherapy)
Mesotherapy uses small needles to inject serums into the Meso-layer of the skin and can be performed with a Mesogun injector. This tool automatically injects solutions to varied depths depending on the skin concern and penetrates deeper than Microneedling to activate the skins own healing processes and covers more area, more efficiently, than individual injections. The treatment consists of multiple micro-injections of bioactive products like vitamin cocktails, plant extracts, hyaluronic acid and amino acids into the skin with the intention to boost its hydration and recreate an optimal physiological environment for the fibroblasts. I have many serums which target specific needs such as: hair loss, reducing stubborn fat, dull skin, pigmentation, uneven skin texture and many more. It can be used almost anywhere on the body!
Hair Loss
Regular Microneedling, alone, is enough to promote hair growth by creating micro wounds to activate the skins own healing processes and stimulate blood flow on the scalp, this provides oxygen and essential nutrients to the follicles, stimulating healthy hair growth. Therefore, Microneedling (in the form of the Mesogun) combined with Mesotherapy (the serums) can help tremendously with early symptoms of hair loss.
The serum I use is designed to boost, moisturise, nourish and improve the condition of the hair and scalp. It contains active ingredients such as Decapeptide-4 (CG-IDP2), Acetyl Decapeptide-3 (Rejuline),Oligopeptide-41 (CG-Keramin1), Copper Tripeptide-1, 13 Vitamins, 24 Amino Acids, 5 Minerals, 4 Coenzymes, 4 Nucleic Acids and 2 reducing Agents with the properties of enhancing hair growth by increasing the size of the hair follicles and reducing hair loss.
This treatment should be performed 1-2 times a week, 5 sessions in total are recommended.
Stubborn Fat
This serum is an anti-cellulite lipolysis product designed to reduce and eliminate cellulite in different areas of the body and face. Lipolytic is a Microneedling treatment that destroys fat cells by damaging the fat cell membrane. The destroyed fat cells are then broken down and removed naturally through the body’s lymphatic system. The solution is made up of active ingredients such as Hydrogenated Lecithin (Phosphatidylcholin) Carnitine and Decapeptide-4 (CG-IDP2) with the properties of effectively reducing and removing localized fat deposits and to regenerate and improve the skin elasticity.
This treatment should be performed in areas such as the knees, highs, abdomen, hips and chin and be performed 2-4 times over a period of 6-8 weeks.
Skin Brightening
This serum is designed to reduce and prevent hyper-pigmentation, even the skin tone and diminish scars, it works to brighten and effectively prevent further skin pigmentation leaving the treated skin radiant, smooth and soft. The serum contains active ingredients such as Pentapeptide-13 (CG-ASP), Oligopeptide-34 (CG-TGP2), Oligopeptide-50 (CG-Glamerin), 3-o-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Arbutin and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract with the properties of blocking the conversion of L-DOPA to eumelanin and phaeomelanin by preventing the enzyme tyrosinase.
This treatment should be performed 1-2 times a week, 5 sessions in total are recommended.
