Teoxane babyGLOW in Berkhamsted

A hyaluronic acid skin booster from Teoxane, the Swiss hyaluronic acid specialist. It uses one product, Teosyal PureSense Redensity 1, placed with an 8-point injection technique that a global group of aesthetic doctors designed and validated. The result is an immediate glow and a longer term improvement in hydration, elasticity and skin quality.

A non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel carrying 15 mg/ml of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, alongside a complex of amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. It is a CE-marked medical device made by Teoxane in Geneva and has been used for skin quality treatments for many years.

No, and that is the point. Redensity 1 is not crosslinked, so it does not hold shape or add volume the way a dermal filler does. It spreads through the layer under the skin to hydrate and revitalise, and the face keeps exactly its own shape. Where you want volume or definition, your clinician will talk through fillers instead, or alongside.

Both are hyaluronic acid skin boosters, and both work well. Profhilo uses a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid placed at five points per side and is chosen mainly for laxity and crepey skin. babyGLOW uses Redensity 1 with added amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, placed at eight points per side of the face for an immediate glow and hydration. Many people have both over a year, and your clinician will say which to start with.

Your clinician draws four landmark lines on the face. Redensity 1 is then injected at eight anatomical points on each side: four along the cheek, one at the angle of the jaw, two beside the mouth and one just under the tail of the brow. Each point receives 0.2 ml, with 0.1 ml at the brow, and a full face uses one 3 ml syringe.

The same day, once the small bumps at the injection points have settled. Teoxane’s data shows further improvement over the following nine days as the gel integrates and draws water into the skin, and hydration and elasticity then build with each session of your course.

Teoxane’s beautification protocol, designed for people in their twenties and early thirties, is two sessions four weeks apart. The rejuvenation protocol, for people over thirty five, is three sessions: the first two four weeks apart, then a third six weeks after the second. Your clinician recommends one at your consultation.

Results build over the course and are then maintained with top-up sessions. Teoxane recommends a maintenance plan after the initial course rather than a fixed interval, because skin, age and lifestyle vary, and we agree your rhythm at the review appointment.

Redensity 1 goes in through a very fine 30 gauge needle only 4 mm long, and most people describe a series of small pinches. In Teoxane’s real-world assessment, 88 percent of patients felt comfortable during the injections, and a topical numbing cream is there for anyone who would like it.

Very little. You may see small raised points where the gel was placed, which usually settle within a few hours after the massage at the end of your session. A pinpoint bruise or mild redness is possible and fades within a few days. In Teoxane’s assessment, 98 percent of patients went straight back to their daily activities.

Around thirty minutes, including the landmark lines, the eight points on each side and the massage at the end.

Yes, and it is made for it. The glow shows the same day and the small bumps settle within hours, so a session a few days before gives the result time to deepen while leaving any pinpoint bruise time to fade.

The same product and the same clinical evidence, with the eight injection points re-mapped for masculine anatomy. Teoxane widened the spacing across the cheek so that light spreads across the face rather than pooling, added a point at the angle of the jaw, and removed the injection below the corner of the mouth. The result is fresher, more hydrated skin that still looks entirely masculine.

Yes, and many people do. It pairs well with anti-wrinkle injections for movement lines, HydraFacial for surface texture and Profhilo for laxity. Your clinician sequences them so each works well alongside the others.

Leave make-up off the points until the following morning, save saunas, steam rooms and heavy exercise for the next day, and keep skincare simple between sessions. Your clinician covers suitability, timing and aftercare at your consultation, and the team is a phone call away afterwards.

Teoxane babyGLOW is new to our Berkhamsted clinic and is quoted at your consultation once your clinician has assessed your skin and agreed your course. Each session uses one 3 ml syringe of Teosyal PureSense Redensity 1 across the full face, and course pricing is confirmed in writing before you book a session.
