Six injectable skin quality treatments, one clear guide. Which one is actually right for your skin? The world of injectable skin quality treatments has expanded considerably over the past few years, and I think that is genuinely a good thing for patients. We now have a range of options that address skin ageing, hydration, texture […]
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 […]
As a cosmetic doctor, I will be blunt: the Tretinoin craze on social media is getting out of hand. Numerous patients attending my clinic want this prescription, convinced it’s the holy grail of anti-ageing. It’s not. And here’s why you should think twice beforeusing it on your face every night. Vitamin A Is a Hero […]
One of the questions we get asked most at Health & Aesthetics is some version of: “I’ve got my wedding coming up — how do I get my skin looking its best?” My honest answer is always the same: start three months out, follow a structured plan, and trust the process. The brides who do […]
When the spot clears, why does the mark remain? The answer lies in understanding what that mark actually is — because a pink or red patch and a brown or darkened one are not the same problem, and they will not respond to the same treatment. In clinic, this is something I see regularly. 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, […]
