Filler Injections
EFFECTIVE FOR – Deeper wrinkles, loss of volume
Treatment is carried out using varying viscosities of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body. Hyaluronic acid creates volume in the dermis that instantly reduces wrinkles and lines by “plumping up” the skin. The doctor injects the product along the line/wrinkle.
Results obtained during a session will be visible for 6 to 9 months depending on the patient and the product injected.
However, although the product is completely absorbed over time, the clinical results don’t completely disappear. Should you decide to follow up the treatment, the volume injected may be reduced and sessions will not need to be so regular.
WHERE IT WORKS BEST – Face.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW :
One session is enough; it lasts about 30 minutes. After the session the skin may sometimes be a bit red or slightly bruised but these will disappear after just a few days.
- Treatment is carried out over 3 to 5 sessions at two to three-week intervals. Maintaining sessions every 3 to 6 months depending on the requirements of your skin and the ageing grade..
A session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes.
- No downtime necessary, just a slight risk of redness or bruising at the injection sites that will quickly and naturally disappear.
- The pain is bearable (the needle is short and fine) but a local anaesthetic can be applied if desired.
- Contraindications: pregnant or breast-feeding women, autoimmune diseases, or immunotherapeutic treatments, history of allergies, infections or inflammations in the zone(s) to be treated.

Volumizing hyaluronic acid injection
EFFECTIVE FOR – Areas that are hollow or have deep marks

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW :
One session is enough; it lasts about 30 minutes. After the session the skin may sometimes be a bit red or slightly bruised but these will disappear after just a few days.

- Contraindications: pregnant or breast-feeding women, autoimmune diseases, or immunotherapeutic treatments, history of allergies, infections or inflammations in the zone(s) to be treated.
Poly Revitalizing
Anti-aging Mesotherapy (Poly revitalizing)
EFFECTIVE FOR – Dull skin, sagging skin with loss of tone/elasticity
These injections involve a product and method that are very different from hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin injections. Due to the skin losing vital elements, like hyaluronic acid, over time, its tone, elasticity, thickness and capacity to rehydrate all diminish.
Mesotherapy involves a series of mini-injections into the superficial dermis of a rich cocktail of vitamins, amino acids and trace elements combined with very fine hyaluronic acid, that revitalizes and stimulates the skin’s natural processes. The skin regains its quality and radiance and is brighter, suppler, firmer…. This is a revitalizing treatment that is beneficial at any age from 30, both in the prevention and treatment of the signs of aging.
WHERE IT WORKS BEST – Revitalization: Face, neck, neckline, the backs of the hands, thighs, arms
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW :
- Treatment is carried out over 3 to 5 sessions at two to three-week intervals. Maintaining sessions every 3 to 6 months depending on the requirements of your skin and the ageing grade. A session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes.
- No downtime necessary, just a slight risk of redness or bruising at the injection sites that will quickly and naturally disappear.
- The pain is bearable (the needle is short and fine) but a local anaesthetic can be applied if desired.
Contraindications: pregnant or breast-feeding women, autoimmune diseases, or immunotherapeutic treatments, history of allergies, infections or inflammations in the zone(s) to be treated.
Hydrating Injections
Deep hydrating injections
EFFECTIVE FOR – Dull skin, dry skin, sagging skin with loss of tone/elasticity and comfort
These injections involve a series of multi punctures into the deeper layers of the skin (mid-dermis) using hyaluronic acid, which is extremely moisturizing. The hyaluronic acid attracts and traps moisture traps the water molecules thousands times of its weight and ensures a lasting hydration of the skin.
WHERE IT WORKS BEST – Face, fragile areas around the eyes and mouth, neck, neckline, the hands
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW :
Treatment is carried out in 3 sessions over a month. Maintaining sessions every 3 to 6 months depending on the requirements of your skin. A session lasts about 30 minutes.
