Cosmetic Injections
A clear guide to what they do and how to choose well
Cosmetic injections continue to evolve quickly. Because new products and brand names appear regularly, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. You may know what you want to improve, however you may not know which injectable actually suits that concern.
At our clinic, cosmetic injections follow a medical framework. We focus on structure, skin quality and long-term balance rather than trends. Therefore, understanding the role of each injectable helps you make confident, informed choices.
This guide explains the main cosmetic injections we offer, how they work, and what you can realistically expect.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Softening expression lines without losing movement
Anti-wrinkle injections target dynamic lines caused by repeated muscle movement. These lines often appear on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes.
Treatment works by relaxing specific muscles. As a result, overlying skin can appear smoother while facial expression remains natural. However, when lines become visible at rest, additional treatments may be required.
Different brands exist, although the active mechanism remains similar. Therefore, product choice depends on clinical assessment rather than marketing.
At our clinic, medical doctors tailor anti-wrinkle treatment to your facial anatomy and movement patterns. This approach supports subtle, balanced results.
Dermal Fillers
Restoring structure, not changing identity
Dermal fillers restore volume, contour and support where tissue has thinned or shifted over time.
Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in your skin. Because hyaluronic acid attracts water, it helps restore softness and structure. In addition, hyaluronic acid fillers offer reversibility when clinically appropriate.
Other filler types focus on collagen stimulation rather than immediate volume. These include:
- Calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse)
- Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra)
- Poly-D, L-lactic acid (JuveLook, Lenisna)
These treatments encourage your body to produce collagen gradually. Therefore, results develop over time and appear more subtle.
Because these products are not reversible, experience and anatomical knowledge matter. For that reason, dermal fillers should always be delivered by qualified medical professionals.
Skin Boosters
Improving skin quality from within
Skin boosters improve hydration, elasticity and texture rather than volume.
They contain combinations of hyaluronic acid, peptides, amino acids, polynucleotides and bioactive compounds. Together, these ingredients support cellular function and collagen activity. As a result, skin can appear smoother, firmer and more luminous over time.
Skin boosters suit people who want healthier-looking skin without visible alteration. They also complement treatments such as laser, RF microneedling or injectables by improving skin resilience.
Common skin boosters we offer include:
- Profhilo® – deep hydration and tissue remodelling
- Jalupro Superhydro – collagen support and hydration
- Jalupro Young Eye – targeted eye-area rejuvenation
Each product serves a different purpose. Therefore, selection always follows consultation.
Glutathione Injections
Supporting clarity and antioxidant defence
Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant made from three amino acids. It plays a role in cellular repair, detoxification and oxidative stress control.
When administered under medical supervision, glutathione injections can support skin clarity and overall complexion health. However, results remain gradual and variable.
Glutathione does not change your natural skin tone. Instead, it supports brightness and skin resilience, particularly when combined with pigmentation treatments such as laser toning or Cosmelan.
Because glutathione affects systemic pathways, professional guidance remains essential.
Why Choose Our London Clinic
You receive care from GMC-registered doctors and trained medical practitioners. We base treatment decisions on anatomy, evidence and long-term outcomes.
We use established pharmaceutical brands and tailor treatment plans to your individual concerns. Therefore, results remain natural and proportionate.
Comfort and Pain Management
Cosmetic injections should feel controlled and considered.
We minimise discomfort by using fine needles, appropriate techniques and topical numbing when required. In some cases, local anaesthetic may be used. As a result, most people tolerate treatment well.
Your comfort remains part of the treatment plan, not an afterthought.
Aftercare and Recovery
Most cosmetic injections involve minimal downtime. However, aftercare matters.
You should avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and swimming for 24–48 hours. Keeping the area clean also reduces infection risk.
Temporary swelling, redness or bruising may occur. These usually settle within days, depending on treatment type and technique.
Your practitioner will advise if any additional aftercare applies.
