Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation refers to the process of improving the appearance and health of the skin, typically by addressing signs of aging, dullness, or other skin concerns.
Skin Booster - Seventy Hyal and Profhilo
Profhilo and Seventy Hyal are both types of skin boosters. Skin boosters contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, and unfortunately from the age of 30 we start to product less of this substance. Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to attract and retain moisture, providing hydration and plumpness to the skin.
Skin boosters are designed for bio-remodeling, meaning it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that contribute to skin elasticity, firmness, and overall structure.
Skin booster are typically administered through a two-step injection process (2 sessions 4 weeks apart). The injections are strategically placed in specific areas of the face or body to provide an overall skin tightening and rejuvenating effect.
Unlike some other hyaluronic acid fillers that have higher crosslinking, skin boosters has low levels of crosslinking. This makes it unique in its ability to spread and diffuse within the tissue, allowing for a more natural and gradual improvement in skin quality.
The results of skin booster treatments are often described as a subtle and natural-looking improvement in skin quality. Patients may notice increased hydration, improved texture, and a reduction in fine lines.
The main difference between the two brands is Profhilo is stronger and has a higher concentration of active ingredient.
The main feedback I receive from patients who have skin booster treatments is they feel very glowy and hydrated.

Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are compounds derived from DNA. Under-eye polynucleotides are used in facial aesthetics to address concerns related to the delicate skin around the eyes. Polynucleotides are extracted from salmon or other fish DNA. The extracted DNA undergoes a purification process to obtain polynucleotide molecules, which are then used in skincare formulations. Polynucleotides are believed to have regenerative properties that can stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. They are thought to promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and contribute to overall skin rejuvenation.
Under-eye polynucleotides are often used to address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, hollowness and sagging skin around the eyes.
One of the main benefits of polynucleotides is their potential to stimulate the synthesis of collagen, a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin. Increased collagen production can lead to improved skin texture and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
Polynucleotides are also believed to enhance skin hydration and elasticity, which can be beneficial for addressing concerns like under-eye bags and puffiness.
I offer two brands of polynucleotides - Lumi eye and Nucelofill. The main difference between the two brands are Nucelofill is stronger and contains more active ingredient.

Skin Peels (Biorepeel) and Micro-needling
Biorepeel facials refer to a type of cosmetic treatment designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. These peels are formulated to provide various benefits to the skin, including exfoliation, hydration, and improvement in skin texture.
Biorepeel facials involve the application of a chemical peel to the skin. Chemical peels use specific acids or compounds to remove the outer layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
The ingredients in Biorepeel formulation includes a combination of acids, enzymes, and other active substances. These ingredients work together to exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin quality.
Biorepeel facials aim to address various skin issues, such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
The Biorepeel facial procedure typically involves cleansing the skin under a ozone streamer, extracting any blackheads, applying the Biorepeel solution, allowing it to work for a specified amount of time. The peel is then neutralized, and additional skincare products will be applied to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Depending on the intensity of the peel, there may be some downtime associated with redness or dryness. The results of Biorepeel facials may include improved skin texture, reduced signs of aging, and a more even complexion.
Facial micro-needling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can result in improved skin texture and appearance. Micro-needling is primarily used for facial rejuvenation and treating various skin concerns.
During a microneedling session, a device is equipped with fine needles that puncture the skin's surface, creating tiny micro-channels. The micro-injuries created by the needles trigger the skin's natural repair process. This involves the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and overall structure. Micro-needling is commonly used on the face to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.
Micro-needling is considered a minimally invasive procedure with relatively minimal downtime. Patients may experience redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
To achieve optimal results, multiple micro-needling sessions are usually recommended, spaced four weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the individual's skin condition and the desired outcome.
