One of the most useful frameworks I share with patients at DimAllure is that the right injectable treatment depends not just on your concerns, but on where you are in the ageing process. What your skin needs in your mid-30s is fundamentally different from what it needs in your late 50s.
Here is my honest guide to what works best at each stage.
Your 30s, prevention and skin quality
In your 30s, the visible signs of ageing are just beginning to emerge. Fine lines becoming more persistent, early forehead creases, the very beginning of under-eye changes.
This is the decade of prevention. The most effective treatments:
Anti-wrinkle injections for early expression lines. Starting treatment when lines are still fine prevents them from becoming deeply etched.
Skin boosters for maintaining hydration and radiance. A course once or twice a year keeps your skin plump, glowing, and resilient.
Polynucleotides for early under-eye changes.
Your 40s, restoration and structural support
In your 40s, the changes become more noticeable. Volume loss in the mid-face accelerates, jawline softens, skin laxity increases, lines deepen.
The most effective treatments include everything from the 30s toolkit, plus:
Sculptra for collagen stimulation and structural support. Rebuilding your collagen infrastructure now prevents more significant volume loss.
Strategic dermal fillers for targeted volume restoration in the cheeks, jawline, or chin.
Profhilo for overall skin firmness and bio-remodelling. If skin laxity is a primary concern, Profhilo's tissue-remodelling action is more impactful than skin boosters alone.
Your 50s and beyond, comprehensive rejuvenation
In your 50s, the cumulative effects of collagen loss, volume depletion, skin laxity, and hormonal changes are well established. A comprehensive, multi-treatment approach delivers the most meaningful results.
The most effective approach is typically a combination protocol: anti-wrinkle injections for muscle balance, Sculptra or fillers for structural support, and polynucleotides or Profhilo for skin quality.
Polynucleotides become particularly valuable in the 50s, especially for menopausal skin changes, increased dryness, thinning, loss of elasticity. The regenerative action addresses these changes at a cellular level.
The common thread across all decades
Start with what your skin needs most. Invest in skin quality as well as structural treatments. Choose a conservative, planned approach. Work with a medically qualified practitioner.

Absolutely — and many patients at DimAllure do. Sculptra and fillers are highly complementary. A common approach is to use Sculptra to restore structural collagen across the temples, cheeks, and jawline, then use a small amount of filler for precise, targeted enhancement in areas like the lips or tear troughs.
Summary
- Timing: Fillers are immediate. Sculptra is gradual.
- Longevity: Sculptra lasts longer (up to 24 months).
- Reversibility: Fillers can be dissolved. Sculptra cannot.
- Mechanism: Fillers add volume. Sculptra rebuilds collagen.
- Best use: Fillers for specific areas. Sculptra for structural support.
At DimAllure, consultations are £50 and fully redeemable against your treatment — so there is no financial pressure and no obligation to proceed on the day.
