In short, no. We can use a topical anaesthetic on the injection sites. However, most of the time, this is not necessary as the method we use has little to no discomfort.
Skin Boosters are all over all micro-injection technique that puts long-lasting Hyaluronic Acid right into the skin to make it plumper and more even.
It can also soften fine lines, smooth acne scarring and improve your skin’s firmness and elasticity. Also known as Hyrolifting and Hydrofilling.
This treatment is to super hydrate, rejuvenate your skin, treat sagging & loose skin and obtain a more shiny, youthful appearance for your face, neck or hand. Our new treatment uses a combination of various products, including but not limited to PROFHILO.
Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our own bodies able to draw and hold 1000 times its own weight in water. Many skin care products boast of topical hyaluronic acid, which in reality offers very limited effect. This is because it is unable to penetrate the layers of skin that it needs to in order to provide an effective result.
Now imagine if you could take that same valuable hydration and lay it beneath the skin surface instead of where it belongs.
The skin is made from a top layer called the Epidermis and a second layer beneath called the Dermis. Unlike most skin booster treatments, Dr Peyman uses various products and techniques, each specifically designed to target each of these two layers individually for maximum results.
In this new technique, a free form of Hyaluronic acid fillers plus active amino acid ingredients: glycine, L-proline, L-lysine monohydrochloride and L-leucine is injected in the dermis layer followed by a finer Hyaluronic acid filler with further amino acids, enzymes and minerals injected in the epidermis.
Overall, apart from HA fillers, this treatment delivers :
12 VITAMINS + 24 AMINO ACIDS + 6 CO-ENZYMES + NUCLEIC ACIDS + 6 MINERALS + 6 others
These Boosters moisturize from within, stimulate collagen growth and provide long-lasting hydration to the areas treated, improving the skin’s firmness, elasticity and radiance. They are also perfect for very fine lines such as smokers’ lines and acne scars.
This treatment can be tailored to the individual’s needs by varying the different products used to target a specific skin issue you may have or depending on the skin type or your expectation from the treatment. For example, we can choose to use Profhilo for maximum hydration as it has more Hyaluronic Acid content and less protein and minerals or go for a different product with slightly less Hyaluronic Acid but a higher protein and amino acid content if hydration is less of an issue and other problems such as acne need to be addressed.
The benefits to this are that all treatments are individualised, so problem areas are properly targeted. This will be discussed in your initial consultation.
For optimal results, an initial course of 3 treatments at 4-week intervals is recommended. Then, a 6 monthly maintenance treatment may be required, although in time, these maintenance treatments become more and more infrequent.
In short, no. We can use a topical anaesthetic on the injection sites. However, most of the time, this is not necessary as the method we use has little to no discomfort.
This treatment comes with minimal bruising (if any) and no downtime. You may experience some soreness on the day of the treatment, but this, along with any bruising, will subside in a day or two.
You will find that immediately after the procedure, you may feel that the skin is smoother to touch. However, the body needs time to heal. You will begin to notice the difference once the growth factors have become established and start the healing process. This usually takes about 3-4 weeks.
For maximum results, it is recommended that you have between 2-4 sessions every 2-3 weeks initially, depending on the skin.
We also recommend repeating this treatment after 6 months to help maintain results.
After your treatment, you are advised to avoid using any other product on the skin for 24 hours.
This is to ensure the area is kept clean and to reduce any chance of infection.
After your treatment, we will, of course, provide you with full written aftercare instructions.
