It hydrates without filling
Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin and holds it there. The peptides, short chains of amino acids, act as signals in the processes that maintain your skin's structure and appearance. Some formulas add amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
Nothing in the formula adds significant volume or changes the shape of your face, so you will not see the instant contour a dermal filler gives. The change is gradual.

Your visit
Your skin is cleansed and numbing cream goes on first, to make the small injections more comfortable. Your doctor then gives them point by point. Tiny raised bumps may show as you leave, and begin to settle within several hours.
- Tell your doctor what you take, including blood thinners, and about previous skin treatments.
- Leave a few days before an important event, as bumps or bruising may still show.
- Avoid alcohol the day before, as it can increase bruising.
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup.
- Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours.
- No makeup for the first 12 hours.
- No strenuous exercise, alcohol, hot showers, saunas or steam rooms for 24 to 48 hours.
- Mild skincare only for a few days, with no scrubs or exfoliating acids.
- Keep out of direct sun and wear sunscreen every day.
- Contact us if anything unexpected develops afterwards.
- Mention your medical history, allergies, supplements and any earlier injectables.
- Keep taking prescribed medicine unless the doctor who prescribed it says to stop.
- Pause retinoids and other strong actives for about five days, or as your doctor advises.
Is it right for you?
- Have dry or dehydrated skin
- Have early or visible fine lines
- Want a more even skin texture
- Notice your skin is less elastic
Pregnancy and breastfeeding mean waiting, as does an active skin infection, and your doctor will say if an allergy or medical condition rules it out.
Results
Any redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising settles in one to three days. Some people notice the hydration within several days.
Texture, elasticity and fine lines take several weeks. The result builds across three sessions about four weeks apart, and stays visible for around six months after the course. Results vary, and your doctor says what to expect for your skin.
Cocoon is a licensed medical clinic with eight doctors, including a dermatologist, and you meet yours before anything is booked.
Questions people ask
Botox® quietens chosen muscles for a while. This booster has no botulinum toxin and works on the skin's hydration and quality.
They work differently and can sit in the same plan. Without evidence for this exact product, we would not say it makes Botox last longer.
Your doctor first works out whether your skin is thirsty or just tired, then compares this booster with Revok50, Salmon DNA and SKINVIVE™ and recommends one.
Your doctor may suggest one every six to nine months, judged by how your skin responds.
