In the rapidly evolving world of aesthetics, the surge in popularity for injectable treatments is transforming our approach to beauty and ageing. While an effective everyday skincare routine can help in achieving a surface-level glow, the rise of injectable skincare is taking our quest for healthy and glowing skin to new heights.
Designed to plump and enhance your skin from within, injectable skin treatments offer many of the benefits we look for in a traditional skincare routine – except results are immediate and last significantly longer. For those looking for a subtle and non-invasive approach to achieving youthful and radiant skin, we’ve rounded up three of the best injectable skincare treatments and the leading clinics in London where you can get them.
Profhilo: The revolutionary injectable moisturiser at Emma Wedgwood Aesthetics
Often dubbed the entry-level injectable for those not looking to consider botox or fillers, Profhilo is a revolutionary hyaluronic acid treatment designed to deliver deep hydration to the skin – helping to plump, moisturise and give an all-round glow.
At Emma Wedgwood‘s London clinic, Profhilo has seen a surge in popularity in recent years with many clients keen to improve the overall appearance of their skin in a natural and subtle way. Unlike traditional fillers which focus on adding volume to specific areas, Profhilo works by stimulating the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, resulting in an overall improvement in tone, texture and elasticity.
During your treatment, hyaluronic acid is injected into five areas on each side of the face. The process is quick with minimal downtime and relatively little discomfort, which can be improved if you choose to opt for numbing cream. Two sessions are recommended four weeks apart, with follow-up sessions every three to six months depending on your individual concerns. Profhilo can also be used effectively to treat the neck, décolletage, hands, arms and body if these are in need of some added hydration.
Since founding her own clinic in 2021, Wedgwood has built on more than 20 years of experience and prestigious Harley Street training to offer clients a completely bespoke and uniquely tailored approach to their concerns. Her knowledgeable and caring demeanour instantly puts you at ease, leaving you certain you’re in safe hands to create natural-looking outcomes that enhances your beauty.
Ameela: The ultimate under-eye rejuvenation at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic
Arguably one of the most difficult areas of the face to treat is the delicate under-eye area, which is why finding a team of medical practitioners you can trust is vital. At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, Founder Dr Tracy Mountford’s motto, “When it comes to your face…experience matters” couldn’t be more apt.
With more than two decades of experience, the multi-award winning London clinic has established itself as a leader in the field of medical aesthetics. Renowned cosmetic doctors like Dr Johanna Ward and Dr Matthew Jarvie-Thomas make up the team offering cutting-edge treatments like Ameela and pride themselves on a holistic approach to individual concerns.
Recognised as a breakthrough treatment to address common concerns such as dark circles, fine lines and hollowing, the polynucleotide-based injectable Ameela works innovatively to restore skin firmness and elasticity without the need for making drastic changes to your appearance. By delivering a potent blend of hyaluronic acid and essential nutrients directly beneath the eyes, fibroblast cells are kickstarted to stimulate the release of healthy collagen therefore providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Dr Ward explained, “Polynucleotides work by increasing hydration in the tissue, reducing free radical damage via powerful bio stimulation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Polynucleotides are the building blocks of DNA so it’s taking bio-regeneration to the molecular level.”
The knowledgeable team at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic work directly with you to tailor a treatment plan, with two or three sessions spaced two weeks apart, recommended to achieve the best results. The clinic also performs Ameela in combination with other treatments, such as Thermage Eyes, a radiofrequency skin tightening procedure which is particularly good for tackling dark circles and soft hollowing.
Jalupro: The collagen-boosting powerhouse at Injectual
Last but not least in the lineup of cutting-edge injectable treatments is Jalupro. This biorevitalisation treatment is designed to boost collagen production by targeting areas where skin laxity, wrinkles and dehydration are most apparent. After injecting a combination of amino acids, peptides and hyaluronic acid, the skin’s natural elasticity and radiance is restored.
This treatment is particularly effective for ageing skin in need of a significant boost in collagen production, as it contains an even higher concentration of hyaluronic acid when compared to skin boosters like Profhilo. Similarly to Profhilo, a course of two treatments in close succession is recommended before repeating after six months.
Nearly all skin types and ages will see positive results from Jalupro’s effects, and it can be an ideal way for patients to prevent the early signs of ageing before it takes place. The team of expert aesthetic practitioners at Injectual will help develop a tailored plan to address skin concerns, and even offer complimentary consultations as well as £100 off your first treatment with them.
While these injectable skin treatments don’t exactly come cheap, they are a great investment for helping people to maintain long-term skin health from within. Each offers unique benefits, so if you’re looking to dip your toe into the exciting world of skin boosters then this is where to start.
