How is it different from Botox®?

Botox® quietens chosen muscles for a while. This booster has no botulinum toxin and works on the skin's hydration and quality.

Can it make Botox last longer?

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.

Which skin booster is right for me?

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.

Will I need top-ups after the course?

Your doctor may suggest one every six to nine months, depending on how your skin responds.

Key takeaway

Does your skin feel dry, or look dull and tired? A course of fine injections of hyaluronic acid and peptides can leave it softer and more supple.

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 or an autoimmune condition, and your doctor will say if anything else rules it out.

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.

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.

Before
- 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.
- 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.
The day

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.
The first two weeks

Day 1
Mild redness, tenderness or swelling, and skin that feels dry or tight. No makeup for at least 12 hours.

First 24 hours
No alcohol or intense workouts.

First 48 hours
No direct sun or tanning beds.

Days 2 to 3
Swelling often peaks, and small bumps, dryness or light peeling can show. Mild, hydrating products only.

Days 4 to 5
Most redness and sensitivity settle, and the skin feels smoother. A bruise may still show.

Five days
No harsh products or exfoliants.

Days 6 to 7
Most swelling and flaking have gone. Moisturiser, serums and a physical sunscreen can return.

Two weeks
Redness, bruising and swelling have usually cleared, and your full routine can come back gradually.
