Skin boosters

Skin boosters sometimes referred to as ‘injections for skin quality,’ are specially-made treatments specifically designed to administer skin rejuvenating substances like Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or polynucleotides which restore the moisture in the skin, and improves skin elasticity, firmness and radiance.

Skin boosters are usually required by people over the age of 25. This is because it’s at this age that the skin starts to lose its collagen and fibroblast content, and a loss in collagen automatically means loss of firmness, density, the elasticity of the skin and the appearance of the first wrinkles. Other people who most definitely need skin boosters treatment include:

• People with dry and damaged skin

• People with facial wrinkles and fine lines

• People with acne-filled faces

• People with loose and saggy skin

Skin boosters can help correct common skin issues, such as age spots, sun damage, wrinkles and fine lines. Whether it’s subtle or dramatic changes you want to make to the appearance of your skin, a consultation with our experienced aestheticians will help determine which treatment will work best for your specific needs.

Bespoke tweakments are the way forwards. They provide more subtle enhancements, and the range of options available and their popularity is on the rise. These days, the general aim of any injectable treatment is that people should notice that you’re looking great, but they shouldn’t be able to detect why. From skin boosters to denser fillers, the latest approaches do just that, focusing on enhancing without making significant changes to the face.

At Hello Beautiful we have a wide range of skin boosters to target certain areas inc neck, décolleté and under eye area. A consultation is recommended to discuss the area of concern and create a person specific treatment plan.

It helps to Rejuvenate tired and dull skin, Stimulates the
production of collagen and has Natural looking results to reveal healthier, softer, younger looking skin.

It is good to treat challenging areas such as the eyes, neck, chest and hands.This treatment delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer.

Profhilo is creating a real buzz in the aesthetic industry and has been referred to it “the most exciting development in injectable treatments in a long time”.

HArmonyCa® Hybrid Skin Booster

HArmonyCa®is a new revolutionary injectable treatment with dual effects – designed to restore facial volume and also promotes the sustained generation of natural collagen formation, giving long lasting lifting and volumizing results.

This latest product by Allergan provides immediate volumizing effects and contains cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid (HA), much like their other popular dermal filler range – Juvederm – but has a unique selling point in that the product also contains embedded Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which stimulates the body’s own production of collagen and elastin – improving the skin’s elasticity over time, even when the HA component has broken down.

The Hyaluronic Acid element of this new collagen biostimulator product is naturally found in the body and elevates skin hydration and moisture, which is key to keep the skin looking plump and healthy and provides an immediate volumising effect.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite generates a stable, inseparable gel that keeps the microspheres in the desired location, which minimises the risk of product migration and ensures a smooth appearance. CaHA is a biodegradable, biostimulatory soft tissue filler suitable for deeper folds and wrinkles, and encourages an increased natural formation of collagen and elastin within the skin to provide a sustained lifting effect.

HArmonyCA also contains lidocaine to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure.

How is HArmonyCA different from other fillers?

Most dermal fillers main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a natural component that is found in the structure of the skin. However, HarmonyCA has a longer lasting effect on the skin beyond the longevity of the HA component.

HarmonyCA treats the superficial under layer of the skin, while other Juvederm fillers are placed in the fat layers or on boney foundation. Due to the superficial placement of harmonyCA, it doesn’t have most of the possible complications of soft tissue fillers, such as vascular occlusion.CaHA triggers continuous collagen stimulation through activating fibroblasts. New collagen fibres may be present as early as one week after treatment.

Seventy Hyal (Skin Booster)

Seventy Hyal (Skin Booster)- Seventy Hyal 2000 is a bio-stimulating, injectable Hyaluronic Acid (HA) skin booster that aims to improve hydration levels within the skin. This skin booster 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. Seventy Hyal 2000 treats the physiological depletion of Hyaluronic Acid within the skin via the infiltration of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) back into the skin’s dermis.

This skin booster acts as the perfect skin rejuvenation treatment to improve skin texture and skin laxity whilst adding gentle volume.

Initially, two to three treatments of Seventy Hyal 2000 four weeks apart will be required to achieve the desired result. In some cases, and depending on initial skin quality, a fourth treatment may be necessary. Treatments will then need to be topped up every 6-12 months, determined by skin quality.

It can be used for facial enhancements to create a gorgeous, glowing appearance. Alternatively, this treatment can be used to rejuvenate and refresh the neck area, décolleté and hands.

The longevity of results can vary between individuals however, results are expected to show almost immediately with full results showing two weeks post-treatment. If, however, you choose not to maintain the skin treatment with further top-up treatments – your skin will return to its pretreatment state over time.

DermaFocus Purasomes

What are exosomes and what do they do

Exosomes are tiny nanovesicles that carry important cell properties to one another. Combining 20 billion exosomes in their purest form, along with 20 of the most potent growth factors, Purasomes can reset cellular activity, regenerating aged and damaged cells to significantly boost the quality of skin and hair.

How do exosomes benefit skin

The regeneration associated with exosomes can greatly enhance skin quality. They can stimulate collagen synthesis, encourage angiogenesis, decrease melanin production, promote tissue regeneration, reinforce skin integrity and cohesion, and have an anti-inflammatory effect on skin.

How do exosomes benefit hair

Equally, exosomes work on the scalp. They reset the strength of the dermal papilla, stopping hair loss and creating a better environment for hair to grow. This regulates the hair growth cycle, allowing stronger and thicker hair to grow through on a healthy and hydrated scalp.

Choosing an ethical exosomes brand

There are now several exosome brands on the market, making it difficult to know what to invest in.

Exosomes can be derived from humans, plants or animals. In the UK, the use of human-derived ingredients is prohibited due to safety and ethical concerns.

Derma Focus Purasomes an exosome-based product range that is highly effective, as well as ethically sourced. The range includes Purasomes NC150+ Skin Nutri Complex for tired and aged skin, Purasomes SGC100+ Skin Glow Complex for dull, damaged and hyperpigmented skin and Purasomes HSC50+ Hair & Scalp Complex for thin and damaged hair.

Purasomes can effectively penetrate the skin through in-clinic microneedling as a standalone treatment or in combination with other aesthetic procedures.

After a series of three to five Purasomes treatment sessions, patients can expect to see significant improvement of their skin and hair concerns, with results expected to last 9 to 12 months. Continued treatment every 6months is recommended to maintain enhancement.

Purasomes work as excellent skin primers for energy-based treatments, while also aiding skin recovery if used afterwards. They can also be used alongside polynucleotides to fully optimise results.

With this treatment, the downtime is minimal. As with any injectable treatments, a small amount of bruising may appear. However, this should subside within a few days with no long-term effects. Small, localised bumps may appear at the injection points. These will start to diffuse within 4-6 hours.
