Whether you're looking to smooth fine lines, restore volume, or achieve a refreshed glow, injectables like Botox, dermal fillers, Profhilo, Sunekos, and now Polynucleotides offer a minimally invasive path to natural-looking results. But if you’re new to the world of aesthetic treatments, it’s normal to feel a bit overwhelmed.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know before booking your first injectable treatment—so you can walk into your appointment feeling confident, informed, and excited.
What Are Injectables?
Injectables are non-surgical cosmetic treatments administered through small injections. They’re used to:
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines (e.g., with anti-wrinkle injections)
Restore lost volume or contour the face (e.g., with dermal fillers)
Improve skin hydration and elasticity (e.g., with Profhilo or Sunekos)
Regenerate and repair skin at the cellular level (e.g., with Polynucleotides)
Each injectable serves a different purpose—and the best option for you will depend on your individual concerns and aesthetic goals.
Types of Injectables We Offer
1. Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-Wrinkle Injections temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, especially around the forehead, eyes, and between the brows. Results typically appear in 3–7 days and last upto 3 months.
Best for:
Frown lines
Crow’s feet
Forehead lines
2. Dermal Fillers
Made from hyaluronic acid, fillers restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. They're ideal for plumping lips, lifting cheeks, or softening smile lines.
Best for:
Lip enhancement
Nasolabial folds
Cheek or chin contouring
3. Profhilo
Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo is an injectable moisturiser that spreads beneath the skin to boost hydration, improve elasticity, and smooth texture.
Best for:
Dull, dehydrated skin
Early signs of ageing
Skin laxity on the face, neck, or hands
4. Sunekos
A unique injectable that combines amino acids and hyaluronic acid to regenerate skin from within—improving texture, tone, and elasticity over time.
Best for:
Under-eye area
Thin, crepey skin
5. Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are one of the newest innovations in regenerative aesthetics. Derived from purified DNA fragments, they work by stimulating tissue repair, collagen production, and deep skin regeneration. This treatment is ideal for clients looking for natural rejuvenation and long-term improvement in skin quality.
Best for:
Acne scars and skin damage
Fine lines and wrinkles
Overall skin regeneration
Unlike fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, polynucleotides don’t just mask ageing—they help your skin heal and renew itself from within over time.
What Happens During a Consultation?
Your first visit is all about understanding your goals and educating you on your options. We’ll discuss:
Your skin concerns and treatment history
The different injectable options
A personalised treatment plan
Expected results, downtime, and aftercare
There’s no pressure to commit—your comfort and confidence come first.
Does It Hurt?
Most clients report only mild discomfort. We use fine needles and can apply a numbing cream beforehand. Treatments are usually quick (15–45 minutes), and you can return to most activities soon.
Is There Any Downtime?
You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites—this is completely normal and typically fades within a few days.
We’ll provide tailored aftercare based on your treatment for the best possible results.
