New Skin Boosting Moisturising Fillers / Facial Sculpting
Skin Boosters are now available at Sue Atkinson Aesthetics & Wellness Clinic. A non-surgical facelift without the pain or downtime.
As we age, our skin can start to look tired and dull and lose the plump appearance we once had in our twenties. Now, with the help of new Skin Boosting treatments we can improve the skin without the use of Botox and filler. So if you have been thinking about improving your skin with a more natural looking result, this could be for you.
These treatments are commonly called ‘injectable moisture’ and some of the names (brands) you may have heard of are Volite from Juvéderm, Profhilo® and Teoxane Redensity 1. Here at Sue Atkinson Clinic in Sheffield, we choose from a variety of reputable brands, per treatment, as each are more suitable for different skin types and requirements. This is what we’ll discover during your consultation - which is best for you and the results you are looking to achieve.
For example, Volite has lower levels of hyaluronic acid than Profhilo and Teoxane Redensity 1. It doesn’t contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants or amino acids. Teoxane Redensity 1 has pure hyaluronic acid but has the added benefit of three antioxidants, eight amino acids, two minerals and a vitamin - it repairs the skin while hydrating it. Profhilo is pure hyaluronic acid in high quantities and will bio-remodel collagen and elastin while hydrating the skin.
Overall, unlike typical dermal fillers, this new wave of hyaluronic acid injectables work on the condition of the skin.
They do this through the use of three key ingredients:
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by your body. The scientifically backed benefit of taking hyaluronic acid is healthier, more supple skin. Roughly half of the hyaluronic acid in your body is present in your skin, where it binds to water to help retain moisture. However, the natural ageing process and exposure to things like ultraviolet radiation from the sun, tobacco smoke and pollution can decrease its amounts in the skin. Hydrated skin reduces the appearance of wrinkles. When applied to the surface of the skin, hyaluronic acid serums can reduce wrinkles, redness and dermatitis and dermatologists inject hyaluronic acid fillers to keep skin looking firm and youthful.
Amino acids
Amino acids (protein) help to strengthen the immune system, maintain the skin's hydration, resilience and an overall healthy appearance. They protect skin from free-radical damage and reduce signs of ageing.
Peptides
Peptides (also called polypeptides) naturally occur in the skin, but they’re also included in many skin care products - and for good reason! Peptides are amino acids that make up certain proteins needed by the skin. More specifically, collagen is made of three polypeptide chains, so adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make collagen. More collagen leads to firmer, younger-looking skin.
Our Skin Boosters are used to treat a wide range of skin conditions on the face, eyes, neck, décolletage, hands , knees and more…
We can improve tired looking skin, dull skin, wrinkles, crepey skin, dark circles, loss of collagen, loss of elastin and loss of volume. The list goes on and on and it’s best to have a consultation - whether face-to-face or via WhatsApp.
