“Skin booster” has become one of those catch all terms that gets used for almost any injectable that isn’t a traditional dermal filler. Patients come into clinic asking for “a skin booster” the way they might ask for “a facial”, without necessarily knowing that there are now eight genuinely different treatments hiding under that one […]
If you have been looking into skin quality injectables and are trying to decide between SuneKOS and SkinVive, you are not alone. Both are popular treatments at Health & Aesthetics and both sit within the broad category of skin boosters, but they are built on entirely different science and they address skin in quite different […]
SkinVive and Profhilo come up together in many conversations. I have with patients who are researching skin quality treatments. Both are injectables, both contain hyaluronic acid, both improve how the skin looks and neither adds volume or changes facial structure. On the surface, they sound almost identical. In practice, they are meaningfully different, and knowing […]
SkinVive and HarmonyCa are two of the most requested injectable treatments at Health & Aesthetics right now, and they come from the same manufacturer: Allergan Aesthetics, part of AbbVie, the company behind Juvederm. That shared origin sometimes leads patients to assume they are essentially the same product with different marketing. They are not. They serve […]
If you have been researching collagen-stimulating injectables recently, you will almost certainly have come across HarmonyCa, JULÄINE and SuneKOS. All three are generating considerable interest in the UK aesthetic market, all three are described as biostimulators, and all three claim to improve skin quality, firmness and collagen production. So far, so confusing. The honest truth […]
Polynucleotides and Profhilo are both skin quality injectables, both popular, and both genuinely effective. The question I get asked most often is which one is better. The honest answer is that it depends entirely on what your skin needs. They work through different mechanisms, suit different patients and produce different kinds of results. This blog […]
The aestheticssector has been moving steadily away from the era of heavy volume and obvious filler, and towards treatments that work with the skin’s own biology to produce gradual, natural improvement. HarmonyCa and JULÄINE are both part of that shift. Both are injectable biostimulators, both encourage the skin to produce its own collagen, and both […]
If you have been looking into injectable treatments recently, the chances are you have come across HarmoniCa and wondered how it fits alongside traditional dermal fillers. It is a question I am getting in clinic more and more, and it is a good one, because the answer is genuinely interesting. HarmonyCa is not simply a […]
If you’re researching non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the first time, it’s very easy to get confused between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Both are injectables, both are popular, and both can take several years off your appearance, but they work in completely different ways and are designed to treat very different concerns. In my experience, […]
Dermal fillers and Polynucleotides are both injectables, and both are popular, but they are not alternatives to each other. They do fundamentally different things, and understanding this distinction between the treatments is very useful for a patient to know. Fillers add or restore volume. Polynucleotides improve the quality of the skin itself. Put simply: fillers […]
SuneKOS and polynucleotides sit in the same broad category of skin quality treatments. Neither adds volume, neither changes your facial structure, and both work by stimulating the skin’s own regenerative processes. Patients researching one often come across the other and find themselves wondering whether they are essentially the same thing with different branding. They are […]
The skincare world loves a debate, and few topics generate more confusion than whether retinol and peptides can — or should — be used together. As someone who works with skin daily and has seen the full spectrum of results (and reactions) from both ingredients, I have a clear view on this. The answer is […]
