Julaine
Julaine is a PLLA based collagen biostimulator treatment that also contains hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. It is used to support collagen production and improve concerns associated with reduced skin firmness, elasticity, texture, and dermal quality over time.
Unlike injectable treatments that focus mainly on volume restoration or dynamic facial lines, Julaine is used for concerns linked to collagen loss and tissue laxity. It can form part of a wider treatment plan for patients who want to support skin structure without making significant changes to facial shape or expression.
What Concerns Does It Treat
Julaine is commonly considered for patients with reduced skin quality, mild tissue laxity, and changes in firmness or elasticity associated with collagen loss.
Treatment can be considered for areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, following consultation and assessment of suitability.
The PLLA component has bio stimulating properties, helping to encourage gradual collagen production and support improvement in the treated tissue over time.
What To Expect
- Consultation with your doctor to discuss your concerns, assess treatment suitability, and take clinical photos
- The treatment area will be cleaned and prepared
- Julaine is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle
- Treatment is usually quick, typically taking around 20 to 30 minutes
- A course of 3 treatments is usually recommended
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising can occur at the injection sites
- These effects are usually temporary and often settle within 24 to 48 hours
- Results develop gradually over 2 to 6 months as collagen production is supported
Discomfort Level
Patients usually describe the sensation as a quick sting at each injection site. Any discomfort is generally brief, as there are usually only a few injection points.
Overall, the treatment is well tolerated by most patients, with mild and temporary discomfort.
Recommend Treatment Plan
A standard Julaine treatment plan usually consists of three sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Your practitioner will discuss the most suitable plan for you based on the area being treated, baseline skin condition, and the concerns being addressed.
Contraindications
Julaine treatment may not be suitable in certain cases, including:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infection at the injection site, such as cold sores, acne flare, rash, or infection
- History of true keloid scarring
- Active inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area, such as psoriasis or eczema
- Uncontrolled chronic illnesses
- Feeling generally unwell
A consultation will be carried out before treatment to assess suitability.
Complimentary Treatments
- Blue Peel – A peel performed four to six weeks before treatment can help prepare the treatment area as part of a skin quality treatment plan before Julaine.
- Secret RF – This treatment supports collagen and elastin activity and can help address concerns associated with uneven texture and tissue laxity. Secret RF may be used to support skin firmness, while Julaine works gradually through collagen stimulation, making them a suitable combination where clinically appropriate.
