Injection Treatments

What are injection treatments and how do they work?

Methods differ in what is injected and into which layer:

• Relaxing a muscle. Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signal and softens expression lines.
• Volume and support. Dermal fillers, mostly hyaluronic acid gels, restore volume where it has been lost.
• Hydration and skin quality. Skin boosters (biorevitalisation, bioremodelling, redermalisation) and mesotherapy deliver hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids into the skin.
• Collagen stimulation. Biostimulators prompt the skin to make its own collagen, and polynucleotides support skin repair; the effect builds over weeks.
• Your own plasma. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses plasma separated from the patient's own blood.
• Threads and lipolysis. Dissolvable threads support the tissues; lipolysis reduces small, localised pockets of fat.

What happens during the treatment?

Every injection treatment starts with a consultation about your health, medicines (especially blood thinners), allergies and previous injections; the specialist assesses the skin and suggests a method. The skin is cleansed and disinfected, with numbing cream if needed.

• Duration: usually 15–60 minutes; for PRP and Biofiller, blood is drawn first.
• Sessions: botulinum toxin and fillers are usually one visit, repeated after some months or a year. Biorevitalisation, mesotherapy, polynucleotides and PRP are often a course a few weeks apart; lipolysis usually 2–5 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart.

Who should not have injection treatments?

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• inflammation, infection or a cold sore flare-up in the area;
• acute illness or fever;
• bleeding disorders or blood-thinning medication;
• allergy to product ingredients;
• an autoimmune disease in an active phase.

Each method also has its own limits: certain neuromuscular conditions for botulinum toxin, blood disorders for PRP, liver disease for lipolysis. The final decision is made by the specialist at the consultation.

After the treatment

Redness, swelling, small bumps or bruises are common. After hyaluronic acid skin boosters, small raised bumps usually settle within a couple of days; after lipolysis, swelling typically lasts 2–5 days. Touching the injected areas and make-up are not recommended for 24 hours, and saunas, exercise, sunbeds and alcohol for 24–48 hours; sun protection is advised outdoors. Severe or increasing pain, a change in skin colour, fever or unusual swelling are reasons to contact the clinic straight away.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between biorevitalisation and mesotherapy?

Biorevitalisation mainly injects hyaluronic acid for hydration and elasticity; a mesotherapy cocktail often adds vitamins and amino acids and is also used for hair, pigmentation or cellulite. Both are usually a course.

What are polynucleotides used for?

Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments injected to support skin repair. They are often chosen for thin skin, including under the eyes.

Do the injections hurt?

Most patients describe a brief prick or pressure. Needles are fine, numbing cream is used on sensitive areas, and many fillers contain lidocaine.
