Fine lines and wrinkles

Many fine lines are made worse by dehydration. A HydraFacial plumps the surface and, with a peptide booster such as ReGen GF+ or DermaBuilder and red LED, supports firmer-looking skin over a course.

What the evidence says

In a small perception study of ten people cited by the manufacturer, nine in ten reported fewer visible fine lines and eight in ten better tone and texture after one treatment. These are small, short-term studies, so treat them as a guide.

What clinics usually suggest

Platinum with a peptide booster. It softens fine lines; it does not replace injectables or laser for deeper ones.

The treatment

Platinum HydraFacial: Platinum is the complete version. It starts with lymphatic drainage, runs through every core step, adds a personalised booster and ends with LED light. In Manchester it costs from £150 to £215.
