About Injectable Moisturisers
Injectable moisturisers are a skin treatment with the emphasis on hydration rather than facial volume. They improve skin laxity, smoothness and elasticity. Injectable moisturisers contain hyaluronic acid, a synthetic form of the water binding molecule that plumps out the skin and tissue. As we age we produce less of this naturally.
With traditional hyaluronic acid fillers they are crosslinked therefore they stay where they are placed. With the new injectable moisturisers like Profhilo, Redensity 1, and Volite the hyaluronic acid can move and spread evenly across the skin to hydrate the skin and give a dewy “Airbrushed look”.
These are licensed for face, neck, hands, chest, arms, and abdomen.
There are different products for different indications. Dr McNally will do a full assessment and help select which product is best for you.
These products are often incorporated into treatment plans to keep the skin looking good. Dermal fillers are excellent at what they do, but skin treatments are required to promote healthy skin and keep it looking good. Injectable moisturisers are now as popular as Dermal filler. They are very popular among clients who have either chosen not to use dermal filler or it is not indicated for them. They are especially popular for clients who have weddings or other social events coming up.

When will I see the results of my treatment?
With most Dermal fillers a result can be seen immediately. It takes a few months for things to totally settle to endpoint. As will be discussed at length at consultation results of treatment are variable and sometimes a series of treatments and regular review is required to achieve desired outcomes.
How long should I wait until I return to normal activities?
We always recommend not to exercise for 24 hrs post procedure. Apart from this there is generally no downtime. If a few syringes are planned it is best to have nothing sociable planned for a few days as there is always the theoretical risk of bruising. We do everything we can to reduce the risk of bruising. SPF is always recommended particularly so when a treatment disrupts the skin barrier. Saunas and steam rooms should be avoided for 7 days.
How long do the effects of treatment last?
This depends on the product characteristics of the Dermal filler selected for you and which area we are treating. Anything from 3-24 months. This will be discussed at length at consultation.
