Most people find it manageable; we use measures to keep you comfortable.
They work differently, and evidence for both is still developing. We recommend the option that best suits your hair loss.
Usually three to four, a few weeks apart, then maintenance.
They may help early thinning where follicles are still active. Evidence is still developing, and they cannot regrow hair from inactive follicles.
No. Both improve skin quality without changing your shape.
At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, Profhilo is £350 per session or £625 for two, and polynucleotides are from £250 per session.
Usually polynucleotides.
Yes, often Profhilo for the face and neck and polynucleotides under the eyes.
Neither overall. Profhilo suits broad hydration and early laxity; polynucleotides suit thin, crepey skin and the under-eye area.
From £250 per session at Dental & Wellness London, with a course of two to three.
Often yes, in sequence: skin quality first, then filler if a hollow remains.
No. Bags and deep hollows are structural and need a different approach.
In trained hands, yes. Injections are shallow and the product is well tolerated.
Usually six to nine months after a course.
They may soften darkness caused by thin skin, but not pigment or shadows from hollows or bags.
Prescribed and administered by Dr Vishal Patel, BDS, MSc Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry, GDC 103127, the clinic’s sole aesthetic prescriber.
At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, from £250 per session. The consultation is £65, redeemable in full.
Very little: small bumps for a day or two and occasional bruising.
Usually three, two to four weeks apart, then maintenance.
Profhilo hydrates and gives a subtle lift; polynucleotides send a repair signal, especially useful for thin, crepey skin.
Purified DNA fragments, usually from salmon or trout.
Different tools. Profhilo spreads from a few points and suits early laxity and dehydration in the lower face; Skinboosters place an even lattice of micro-droplets and suit larger, tougher or more sun-exposed areas. A skin assessment decides, not brand loyalty.
A day or two of small blebs and possible pinpoint marks, occasionally a light bruise — slightly more visible on the neck and hands than the face. Most patients carry on as normal immediately.
The hydration effect typically holds around six months after a completed course, which sets the maintenance rhythm. Age, sun exposure and smoking shorten it; good skincare extends it.
Yes — that's arguably where the micro-droplet technique is strongest: even coverage of crepey neck skin, sun-spotted décolletage, and papery hands.
