Botox works its magic by binding to the muscles responsible for certain wrinkles and reducing the strength of their contractions. Therein lies the problem. Most anti-wrinkle injections act only on muscles and do little for skin quality.
Unfortunately, skin quality on the face, neck and hands can be the most problematic for patients. As we age, three things happen:
- Our skin loses hydration and volume
- Our metabolic processes slow down
- We accumulate free radicals throughout our bodies.
We need to add another treatment to our skincare regime to reverse these processes. Enter Redermalisation: injecting a mixture of hyaluronic acid and sodium succinate for skin rejuvenation.
Hyaluronic acid is nature’s natural moisturiser. Each hyaluronic acid molecule can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, making it ideal for keeping moisture in the skin. Our skin already contains hyaluronic acid, but we produce less of it as we age, and our skin becomes dehydrated and loses volume.
Sodium succinate is a powerful antioxidant which blocks free radicals, those molecules that mediate skin damage from the sun, pollution and lifestyle. Sodium succinate also supports our metabolism, vital for youthful, glowing skin.
Redermalisation works by injecting these products into the superficial layers of skin to act precisely where needed. Traditional fillers are injected into the subcutaneous tissue under the skin and plump from below.
Clinical studies have shown that hyaluronic acid, when combined with succinate acid, boosts hydration, stimulates collagen production and reduces uneven pigmentation.
We recommend a course of 3-6 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart, to get the best results. All areas of the face, neck, décolletage and even hands can be treated.
