Real skin improvement - not just surface results
There's a difference between treatments that temporarily mask skin concerns and treatments that genuinely improve the health and quality of your skin over time.
At Aesthetics by Emma, skin rejuvenation is approached as a long-term investment. Whether you're concerned about dullness, dehydration, fine lines, or early skin laxity, the focus is always on treatments that stimulate your skin's own natural processes, producing results that build and last.
Emma's clinical background means every treatment plan is based on a proper assessment of your skin, not a one size fits all package. The right combination of treatments for your skin may look very different from someone else's and that's exactly the point.
Skin rejuvenation treatments available in Waterlooville
1
Microneedling
Microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface. This triggers the skin's natural repair response, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving texture, and enhancing the skin's overall quality and resilience.
It's one of the most effective treatments available for improving skin tone and texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and restoring a healthy, luminous appearance to dull or tired-looking skin.
What it's good for:
Fine lines and early skin laxity · Uneven skin texture · Dull or lacklustre skin · Enlarged pores · Overall skin quality improvement
A course of treatments is usually recommended for best results, with visible improvements building progressively over several weeks.
2
Profhilo is one of the most popular and well-evidenced skin booster treatments available. Rather than adding volume like a traditional filler, Profhilo disperses through the skin to deeply hydrate, remodel the skin structure, and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
The result is skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier, softer, more supple, and visibly more radiant. It's particularly effective for patients who feel their skin has lost its quality, firmness or glow, and for those beginning to notice fine crepey lines or reduced elasticity.
Profhilo is administered in two sessions, four weeks apart, with results continuing to improve for several weeks after the second treatment.
What it's good for:
Dehydrated or dull skin · Fine lines and skin laxity · Loss of skin firmness and elasticity · Overall skin quality · Face, neck and décolletage

Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are one of the most exciting developments in aesthetic skin treatment. Derived from highly purified salmon DNA, they work at a cellular level, stimulating tissue regeneration, improving skin hydration, and supporting long-term skin health in a way that goes beyond most conventional skin boosters.
At Aesthetics by Emma, various polynucleotide products are used depending on your skin's needs:
Plinest/Vitaran is used for deep skin regeneration, improving elasticity, hydration and overall skin quality with results that continue to develop over several months.
Lumi-Pro is used for brightening and superficial skin quality improvement - ideal for patients concerned with dullness, uneven skin tone and early fine lines.
Polynucleotides are particularly well suited to patients who want meaningful, progressive skin improvement rather than an immediate but short-lived result.
What it's good for:
Dehydrated and dull skin · Fine lines and skin laxity · Skin regeneration and repair · Patients looking for gradual, long-lasting improvement
What to expect at your skin consultation
Skin rejuvenation at Aesthetics by Emma always starts with a thorough consultation. Emma will assess your skin quality, discuss your main concerns, and recommend a treatment, or combination of treatments, that is genuinely appropriate for your skin.
There's no pressure to commit to a full course on the day. Emma will explain what each treatment does, how many sessions are typically recommended, and what realistic results look like, so you can make an informed decision at your own pace.
Where appropriate, a home skincare routine will also be discussed. The right daily skincare, particularly daily SPF, dramatically enhances and extends the results of any in-clinic treatment.
Treatment experience and downtime
Microneedling:
The skin will appear red and flushed immediately afterwards, similar to mild sunburn, which typically settles within 24–48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the following day. A minimum of 3 sessions is usually recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Skin Boosters
Administered via a small number of injection points using a very fine needle. The treatment takes around 30 minutes and requires no significant downtime. Minor swelling or tenderness at injection sites is normal and settles quickly. Two sessions are required, four weeks apart.
Polynucleotides
Administered by injection or cannula, typically across multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. Downtime is minimal, some temporary redness or minor swelling at injection sites is normal. Results develop gradually and continue to improve over the course of treatment.
Frequently asked questions about skin rejuvenation
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: This depends on the treatment and your skin's starting point. Microneedling typically requires a course of 3–6 sessions. Profhilo is a two-session protocol. Polynucleotides are usually administered across 3–4 sessions. Emma will give you a clear recommendation at consultation
Q: When will I see results?
A: Some treatments, like Profhilo, produce visible improvement relatively quickly. Others, like polynucleotides and microneedling, work by stimulating your skin's own regenerative processes, so results build gradually over weeks and months. The improvements are often longer-lasting as a result.
Q: Is there much downtime?
A: Minimal for most treatments. Microneedling involves 24–48 hours of redness. Injectable skin boosters and polynucleotides typically involve very little visible downtime at all.
Q: Can I combine skin rejuvenation with other treatments?
A: Yes, and often this produces the best results. Emma frequently combines skin booster or polynucleotide treatments with anti-wrinkle or filler treatments as part of a broader facial treatment plan. This will be discussed at your consultation.
Q: When will I see results?
A: You'll begin to notice the effects within 3–5 days, with the full result visible at around 2 weeks. A follow-up review is offered at this point
Q: Are these treatments suitable for all skin types?
A: Generally yes, though suitability is always assessed at consultation. Certain skin conditions, medications or medical history may affect which treatments are appropriate for you.
Q: How do I maintain my results?
A: A simple but consistent skincare routine, particularly daily SPF, makes a significant difference to how long your results last and how your skin ages over time. Emma will always guide you on the most effective and practical home skincare for your skin type.
