About Seventy Hyal
Seventy Hyal 2000 is a newer type of skin booster containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. It's made to hydrate the skin deeply and encourage collagen and elastin. Like Profhilo, the aim is better skin quality rather than extra volume, but the formulation is a little different, and some people feel it leaves their skin especially plump and dewy.
John injects it at a few points across the face (or the neck, décolletage and hands), and it spreads through the tissue over the next few days.

Is this treatment right for me?
Seventy Hyal is a good choice if you want better hydration, texture and firmness, or if you're looking for an alternative to Profhilo. John will help you decide between them based on your skin and the result you want.
You may be suitable if…
- Your skin feels dry or dull, or has lost its bounce
- You want softer fine lines and smoother texture
- You're after a natural glow, not a different shape
- 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 few injections at set points over the area being treated. Each one leaves a short-lived bump that goes down within hours. The appointment lasts about 20–30 minutes.
After treatment
The small bumps where the injections went in settle within a few hours. Rather than appearing straight away, the hydration and firming build up gradually over the next few weeks.

Your skin will usually feel more hydrated after one to two weeks, and firmness and glow carry on improving over four to six weeks. For the best result, have a course of two sessions about four weeks apart. The effect normally lasts about six months before you'd need a maintenance session. How long it lasts depends on your skin, age and lifestyle.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
There's very little downtime: small bumps and maybe a touch of redness where the needle went in, for a few hours. Most people carry on with their day straight away.
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 Seventy Hyal or Profhilo?
Both hydrate the skin and boost collagen. Their formulations and feel are a little different, so John will suggest the one that suits your skin, and once you've tried both you may find you prefer one.
How many treatments?
Normally two, roughly four weeks apart, followed by maintenance about every six months.
Does it add volume?
No. It works on the quality of your skin. If you want to change shape or add volume, 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.
