About Jalupro
Jalupro is an injectable that combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, the raw ingredients your skin uses to build collagen. It doesn't add volume. Instead it hands your skin what it needs to repair itself, so elasticity, firmness and texture improve and fine lines look softer.
People often choose it when their skin looks tired or a little loose, for the neck and décolletage, or to strengthen the skin before or alongside other treatments.
Key Benefits

Is this treatment right for me?
Jalupro is a good fit if your skin looks tired, dull or a little lax and you'd like a natural improvement, or if you want a lighter booster given more often than Profhilo. Many people also choose it for the neck and décolletage.
You may be suitable if…
- Your skin looks tired or has lost some of its bounce
- You want better elasticity and softer fine lines
- You'd like to strengthen your skin ahead of other treatments
- You aren't pregnant or breastfeeding
Your consultation will consider…
- How hydrated your skin is, plus its texture, fine lines and laxity
- The product that best suits your skin and what you want
- How many sessions a full course needs, and how far apart
- Your health history, allergies and any treatments you've had recently
What to expect
Before treatment
At your consultation John looks at the condition of your skin (how hydrated it is, any fine lines, laxity and texture), talks through what you're hoping for and goes over your medical history. Skin boosters work as a course, not a single appointment, so you'll go home knowing how many sessions you need and how far apart. Where it's safe for you, stop alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen and supplements like fish oil for a few days beforehand, because they make bruising more likely.
During treatment
Once the numbing cream has worked, John gives a series of small, shallow injections over the area being treated. It takes about 30 minutes, and each injection leaves a little bump that goes down within hours.
After treatment
A few hours of small bumps and slight redness is normal. Your skin quality improves over the next few weeks.

Within a week or two your skin usually looks brighter and more hydrated, and firmness and elasticity improve over four to eight weeks. For the best result, have a course of three to four sessions one to two weeks apart. The effect normally lasts about six months before maintenance.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
There's very little downtime: small bumps, and maybe slight redness or a bruise where the needle went in, settling within a few hours to a day.
Side effects
Expect little raised bumps where the needle went in; they normally flatten within a few hours, though now and then they take a day or two. Redness, tenderness and small bruises often happen and don't last long. Less common effects include a lump that lingers, a mild infection or an allergy-type reaction. These products are hyaluronic acid or come from natural sources, so serious reactions are uncommon.
Aftercare
For the rest of the day, leave the injection points alone: no make-up, and no touching or massaging unless John has told you to. Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and alcohol for 24 hours, and keep out of strong sunshine. Keep your skin well moisturised and wear SPF every day, as this protects your result.
Get in touch with the clinic if redness starts to spread, pain gets worse, a lump grows instead of settling, or the colour of your skin changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Jalupro or Profhilo?
Profhilo contains only hyaluronic acid. Jalupro also contains amino acids to help your skin make collagen, and it's usually given as a short course of closer-together sessions. John will suggest which suits your skin.
How many treatments?
Normally three to four, one to two weeks apart, followed by maintenance about every six months.
Will it add volume?
No. It improves your skin's quality. If you want more volume or a change in shape, dermal fillers are the treatment for that.
Is it painful?
We apply numbing cream beforehand. Each injection stings for a moment, and most people find the whole treatment easy to tolerate.
How soon can I wear make-up?
From the following day. For the rest of your treatment day, keep the injection points clean and leave them uncovered.
Can I have it alongside other treatments?
Yes. Skin boosters pair well with anti-wrinkle treatment, fillers and microneedling, and John will advise on how to space them.
What happens at my consultation?
John looks at your skin, talks about what you want to change, goes through your medical history and suggests the right product and course for you, with the price made clear before you book anything.
