Injectables

What are Injectables?

Injectables are non-surgical cosmetic treatments delivered through tiny, carefully placed injections. They are designed to improve skin health, restore lost volume, soften lines, and support natural skin repair. Unlike surgical procedures, injectables are quick, require little downtime, and can give a fresher, more youthful appearance with natural-looking results.

Who is Suitable for Injectables?

Injectables can benefit adults of many ages and skin types. You may be a good candidate if you:

Want skin rejuvenation: Suitable for people noticing early signs of ageing, such as fine lines, mild sagging, or dull skin.
Seek natural-looking results: Ideal if you prefer subtle improvements without dramatic changes.
Desire hydration and skin repair: Good for those with dry, tired, or sun-damaged skin, or after periods of stress and illness.
Prefer minimally invasive treatments: Helpful if you want visible improvements but wish to avoid surgery.

During your consultation, a qualified practitioner will examine your skin, review your medical history, and recommend the best injectable option tailored to your goals.

Benefits of Injectables

Injectables can achieve a wide range of improvements depending on the chosen product and treatment plan.

Hydration and glow: Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates the skin, giving a plump and fresh look.
Collagen stimulation: Polynucleotide molecules encourage fibroblasts (cells that build collagen and elastin) to repair and strengthen the skin.
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles: Smooths mild creases and supports firmer, more elastic skin.
Improved texture and tone: Helps even out roughness, dryness, and minor pigmentation.
Natural results with minimal downtime: Most people can return to normal activities soon after the session.

Many patients report that their skin feels stronger, healthier, and more radiant within weeks of treatment.

Types of Injectables

We provide two primary injectable treatments, each with unique benefits. Some patients may use a combination for a more comprehensive effect.

Injectable Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

A gel-like substance that naturally exists in our skin but decreases with age.
Improves skin hydration and elasticity, helping to soften lines and create a healthy glow.
Commonly applied in specific Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) injections on the face for an even and natural lift.
Typically requires a series of treatments for best results, with effects lasting 6–12 months depending on individual factors.

Polynucleotide (PN) Skin Healer

Derived from purified salmon DNA, carefully processed to be safe and biocompatible.
Stimulates skin cell regeneration, repairs damaged tissue, and supports long-term collagen growth.
Particularly effective for skin affected by ageing, sun damage, or scarring.
Can be used on the face, neck, or other areas needing repair and strengthening.

Both treatments can complement other aesthetic procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections, medical-grade skincare, or laser treatments.

Alternative Options to Injectables

While injectables are effective and minimally invasive, they are not the only way to improve skin quality. Depending on your needs, your practitioner may also discuss:

Medical-grade skincare: Prescription or clinic-only serums and creams that target pigmentation, texture, and hydration.
Chemical peels and facials: Exfoliating treatments to remove dead skin and promote cell turnover.
Laser therapies: Non-invasive light or heat-based treatments to tighten and brighten the skin.
Microneedling: Tiny pinpricks stimulate collagen and improve absorption of topical nutrients.

Your personalised plan may include one or more of these treatments, either in combination with or instead of injectables.

What to do Before an Injectable Treatment?

Proper preparation helps ensure the best outcomes and minimal side effects.

Medical review: Inform your clinician about any allergies, medications, or skin conditions.
Avoid blood-thinning substances: Unless prescribed by your doctor, limit alcohol, aspirin, and certain supplements like fish oil a few days before your appointment to reduce bruising risk.
Healthy skin routine: Keep your skin clean and well-moisturised in the days leading up to treatment.

If you have a cold sore, infection, or skin irritation in the treatment area, reschedule until your skin has healed.

What Happens During an Injectable Treatment?

A typical injectable session is quick and comfortable.

Cleansing and numbing: The skin is thoroughly cleaned, and a numbing cream may be applied.
Precise injections: Using very fine needles, your clinician carefully injects the chosen product into targeted areas.
Finishing care: A soothing cream or cold compress is applied to reduce redness and swelling.

The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.

What to Expect After an Injectable Treatment?

Recovery from injectables is generally simple and fast, but there are a few things to know for the best outcome.

Immediately after the procedure:

It is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or small bruises at the injection sites. These effects typically fade within a day or two. Some patients notice small raised bumps that settle within hours.

Short-term care tips:

Keep the area clean and avoid touching or massaging unless instructed.
Do not apply heavy makeup for at least 12 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot showers, or alcohol for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling or bruising.
Use gentle skincare and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

Visible results and follow-up:

Hydration and plumping from hyaluronic acid injectables can be noticeable within a week. Polynucleotide treatments, which focus on cell repair and collagen production, usually show gradual improvements over several weeks to months. Your clinician may schedule a follow-up visit to review progress and decide if a maintenance session is needed.

Long-term expectations:

Results from injectables typically last between six and twelve months, depending on the type of product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking. Many people schedule regular treatments to maintain their preferred appearance.

Injectables Prognosis

Injectables are designed to improve skin quality and appearance without surgery. When performed by trained professionals, they provide safe and predictable outcomes.

Expected results:

Smoother skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Better hydration, elasticity, and overall radiance.
Gradual stimulation of collagen and elastin for stronger, healthier skin.

Timeline of results:

Hyaluronic acid injectables often give visible plumping and hydration within a week.
Polynucleotide (PN) skin healers work more gradually, with optimal improvements unfolding over several weeks as the skin regenerates.

Longevity:

Results generally last 6–12 months, depending on the product, your age, lifestyle, and how quickly your body metabolises the treatment. Many patients opt for maintenance treatments once or twice a year to maintain the benefits they have achieved.

Natural look:

Injectables are carefully placed to blend with your own facial structure. The aim is a refreshed, natural appearance rather than an artificial or “overdone” look.

Combination benefits:

Injectables can be safely combined with other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, medical-grade skincare, or laser therapies for enhanced and longer-lasting results.

When combined with healthy habits—such as sun protection, a balanced diet, and regular exercise—injectables can help maintain a youthful and healthy appearance for years.

Injectables Risks

All medical treatments carry some risk, though serious side effects are rare.

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites
Temporary tenderness or itching
Rare allergic reactions or infection

Choosing a reputable clinic with experienced clinicians significantly lowers these risks.
