Skin Boosters - Profhilo & Jalupro

The Jalupro range reduces skin wrinkleness significantly. The product  has especially shown to have an excellent biorevitalizing efficacy and  improves the main skin aging and photo aging signs. This efficacy grows  over time and lasts approx. 6 months.  Jalupro is a sterile reabsorbable injectable solution, which acts as  dermal biorevitalizer, that can be used for improving skin texture and  minimizing evidence of skin wrinkles of the face.    

There are three Jalupro products:  

• Jalupro Classic for general skin rejuvenation 
• Jalupro HMW for more mature skin 
• Jalupto Super Hydro   

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JALUPRO CLASSIC AND JALUPRO HMW?    

The  main differences are that HMW is slightly thicker so not suitable for  the under eye area, and it is for more mature skin (over the age of  40) where the skin is very marked (furrows, depressions and deep  wrinkles, in particularly, those of the neck and décolleté).      

WHAT IS JALUPRO CLASSIC?   

Jalupro Classic is a sterile reabsorbable injectable solution which acts – as  dermal biorevitalizer which can be used for improving skin texture and  minimizing evidence of skin wrinkles of the face; – as adjuvant in the  physical or chemicals treatments such as peeling, laser therapy,  dermoabrasion, radiofrequency, dermal filler, botulinum toxin, etc       

WHAT IS JALUPRO HMW?  

Jalupro HMW (High Molecular Weight) is a resorbable and sterile injectable solution that acts as a dermal biorevitaliser. It may be used as a treatment for skin depressions, as well as any defects caused by scarring.   

Manufactured by Professional Derma SA, this solution supports temporary volume substitution and the restoration of elasticity by promoting soft tissue growth. Additionally, it may be used as a tissue lubricant to minimise wrinkles and fine lines, or as an adjuvant in other chemical or physical treatments (including dermabrasion, laser treatments or peeling).   

Jalupro HMW may be used for the correction of mild to moderate skin imperfections, and is especially indicated for the decolletage and neck areas. It is made of hyaluronic acid in the form of sodium hyaluronate, as well as amino acids like glycine, L-leucine, L-proline, and L-lysine HCL. Each package of Jalupro HMW comes with 1 disposable1.5ml glass syringe, which contains 20mg of sodium hyaluronate, as well as 1-1ml glass bottle, which contains 80mg of a sterile amino acid solution. Needles must be obtained separately, and may be chosen based on the practitioner’s preference and technique.    

WHAT IS IT MADE OF? 

Jalupro HMW is a transparent injectable solution made of hyaluronic acid in form of sodium hyaluronate. Additionally, it contains a multitude of amino acids, including glycine, L-leucine, L-proline, and L-lysine HCL.   

The sodium hyaluronate in this solution is similar to the naturally-produced hyaluronic acid in the body. After injection, it instantly helps to restore the lost volume in your patient’s skin, while reducing facial folds, scars and wrinkles, and providing support for the overlying layers of the skin. The amino acids encourage the production of collagen and the growth of skin cells, improving the strength, elasticity, tone, and thickness of the skin.      

WHAT IS JALUPRO SUPER HYDRO?  

Jalupro® Super Hydro is ideally suited for use in the  facial area for age-related skin damage. This product is also ideal for  more severe wrinkling. This injection solution works with hyaluronic acid in two different molecular weights. As a result, Jalupro Super Hydro achieves a particularly natural and lasting effect. This is because the hyaluronic acid has a strong moisture-binding effect, which leads to the saturation of  the tissue and thus creates a healthy, elastic skin appearance. In the  long term, the hyaluronic acid at the treatment site  also supports the skin structure by stimulating the tissue to produce  its own collagen and elastin. In addition, the hyaluronic acid provides a subtle brightening of the treated skin areas and a smoother, fresher appearance. The other ingredients in Jalupro Super Hydro help to enhance these effects. It also contains amino acids and  peptides that achieve long-term activation of the tissue's own  fibroblasts.         

Jalupro® Super Hydro - Innovative moisturizing formula. new formula,  thanks to the cooperation of all active ingredients: hyaluronic acid in  two molecular sizes, 7 amino acids (glycine, proline, lysine, alanine,  valina, arginine, leucine), 3 mimetic peptides (Acetyl Decapeptide 3,  Acetyl Tetrapeptide 5, Oligopeptide 24)       

Use:  It is recommended to use a series of 3-4 treatments at monthly intervals.

WHAT IS JALUPRO?  

To  put it simply, Jalupro is a skin booster that is made up of 4 different  amino acids and hyaluronic acid. This combination is a science research  backed combination of excellence in the treatment of chrono and photo  aging.  ​  

Jalupro was introduced into the market in 2005 and there has been more than 1 million treatments performed with great results.    

IS JALUPRO A DERMAL FILLER?  No,  this is not a dermal filler. It is not cross linked which means it  doesn't stay in the skin. Jalupro has a thin liquid consistency whereas  filler is a thicker gel.  Think of it as a skin booster and anti aging treatment.   

WHY WOULD I WANT THIS PROCEDURE DONE? 

Jalupro,  when injected into the skin, encourages the metabolic activity of  fibroblasts, stimulating the production of new collagen and ensuring the  skin maintains optimum moisture levels - creating molecular  'scaffolding' that makes the skin more elastic.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE DONE?  

The prepared product is injected with a very fine mesotherapy needle into the dermis layer of the skin.    

HOW SOON WILL I SEE THE DIFFERENCE?  

Every one is different and it really does depend on the condition of the skin.  ​  

It  is recommended to have a course of 3-4 treatments to gain optimum  results - but most people will see a difference a few weeks after the  second treatment.    

HOW WILL I LOOK AFTERWARDS?  

As  this is not a toxin or dermal filler, the only different you will  notice is that your skin is rejuvenated (softened fine lines and  wrinkles), more hydrated and brighter.  If applied to the eye area, dark circles will appear lighter.   

WHO CAN HAVE THE PROCEDURE DONE?  

Anyone over the age of 18.  

Pregnant or breastfeeding women can not have this procedure.  ​  

It is also those with autoimmune disease, porphyria or untreated epilepsy are also unable to have this treatment.  ​  

Your practitioner will go over the list of conditions that prevent suitability for treatment.
