What Jalupro treats
Jalupro revitalises skin rather than reshaping a face. It is chosen when the skin itself looks tired, and it works on the areas where that shows first.
-
Tired, dull skin
Skin that has lost its brightness and looks tired, whatever goes on it.
-
Dehydrated skin
Skin that feels dry and tight and has lost its bounce, which is where the hyaluronic acid does its work.
-
Under the eyes
Thin, tired looking skin under the eyes, where a lighter booster tends to suit. Hollowing caused by the structure beneath needs a different approach.
-
Fine lines
Softening of fine lines as the skin improves. Deep lines and folds are a different problem.
-
The neck
Where skin quality often shows age earlier than the face, treated in the same way.
-
The hands
Thin, crepey skin on the back of the hands, treated as well as the face.
Whether Jalupro is right for your skin is a clinical judgement, made in person. If Profhilo, or something else, would suit you better, Dr Corcoran will say so.
How Jalupro works
Jalupro combines hyaluronic acid, which holds water in the skin, with a blend of amino acids, the raw materials your body uses to build collagen and elastin. It is placed just under the surface of the skin with fine injections.
The hyaluronic acid rehydrates the skin, and the amino acids give it what it needs to renew itself. A short course of two to three sessions builds on each one, and the skin continues to improve for weeks afterwards.
It adds nothing to the shape of the face, so it cannot make you look overdone. It also cannot lift, fill or tighten, and it is better to say that before rather than after.
How Jalupro compares with Profhilo, the other skin booster offered here, is set out in Jalupro against Profhilo.
The treatment
Jalupro compared with Profhilo, polynucleotides and fillers
| What we are comparing | Jalupro | Profhilo | Polynucleotides | Dermal fillers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Revitalises tired, dull skin | Improves skin quality and firmness | Improves thin, delicate skin | Restores lost volume and shape |
| Made of | Hyaluronic acid with amino acids | Pure, concentrated hyaluronic acid | Purified DNA fragments | Hyaluronic acid gel |
| Adds volume | No | No | No | Yes |
| Typical course | Two to three sessions | Two sessions | Three to four sessions | Often a single visit |
| Price at the clinic | £195 | From £245 | £240 | From £265 |
Jalupro and Profhilo are the two skin boosters offered here, and neither is better than the other. Jalupro suits skin that looks tired, dull or dehydrated and needs revitalising. Profhilo suits firmness and early laxity. The skill is in choosing the right one for the skin in front of you.
Filler is a different treatment altogether: it adds volume. If what you want is fuller cheeks or a more defined jaw, that is filler, and Jalupro will not do it.
The longer versions
Dr Corcoran offers all four, so the comparison is not steering you towards the one on this page.
What it costs, and what happens
Jalupro is priced per session and is usually a short course. You are quoted precisely at consultation, once Dr Corcoran has seen your skin.
Per session. A course is usually two to three sessions, two to four weeks apart, and Dr Corcoran will say at consultation how many your skin needs. The consultation that produces the quote is free.
Who it suits, and the risks
Jalupro suits skin that looks tired, dull or dehydrated. Whether that is your concern, or whether it is firmness or volume, is what the consultation decides.
A good fit if
- Your skin looks tired, dull or dehydrated
- You want to look refreshed, not different
- The concern includes under the eyes, the neck or the hands
- You do not want anything added to the shape of your face
Not the right answer if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have an active skin infection or inflammation where the injections would go
- You have reacted badly to hyaluronic acid before, or are sensitive to amino acids or peptides
- You want volume, a lift or tightening. That is a different treatment
An autoimmune condition does not automatically rule you out, but it is talked through properly first. Blood thinners do not stop treatment, they make bruising more likely.
The recognised risks
Jalupro is an injection, and no injection is completely without risk. Most of what you will notice is expected and passes within days.
- Redness at the injection points, usually settling within a day or two
- Swelling and some tenderness, usually settling within about three days
- Bruising, which can take up to a week, more likely under the eyes
- Rarely, a blocked blood vessel, a risk shared by every hyaluronic acid injection
A blocked blood vessel shows as pain that worsens rather than settles, skin turning pale and then dusky or mottled, or pain away from where you were injected. Ring the clinic straight away if that happens. It is treatable, and how quickly it is treated is what matters.
Who carries out your treatment
BDS, FDSRCS, MBChB, FRCS, FRCA, PgDip, MSc (Cos Med)
A great deal of the lasering and injecting done in this industry is done by people who did a short course. Most clinicians qualify once. He qualified as a dentist, operated on faces and jaws in maxillofacial surgery, then went back to university and qualified again as a doctor, then in surgery, then in anaesthesia, then in cosmetic medicine. Thirty years of that was in the NHS, fourteen as a Consultant Anaesthetist and ten of those simultaneously as Clinical Director, accountable for clinical standards across departments.
There are no technicians here acting on his behalf. Your consultation, your treatment and your review are all with him.
Jalupro is often used under the eyes, where the skin is at its thinnest and the vessels are close to the surface. The person treating it here spent his first career in maxillofacial surgery, operating on faces and jaws.
An anaesthetist spends a career learning what can go wrong and being the person who notices first. That is a more useful habit to bring to this work than any device I could buy.

What patients say
The procedure was pain free and very reassuring. Knowing the practitioner is a practising NHS Consultant Anaesthetist gives you complete confidence.
The treatment was totally pain free and the results were beyond my expectations. Dr Corcoran is incredibly knowledgeable and I would absolutely recommend going to see for yourself.
The consultation alone was worth its weight in gold. Dr Corcoran was completely transparent about what could and could not be achieved. That level of honesty is genuinely rare in aesthetics.
Jalupro questions, answered
A skin booster that combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, the raw materials your body uses to build collagen and elastin. It revitalises tired, dull or dehydrated skin and adds no volume.
Numbing cream is applied first, and most people describe the injections as a series of small pricks rather than pain.
Usually a course of two to three sessions, two to four weeks apart. Dr Corcoran will say at consultation how many your skin needs.
Results typically last six to twelve months, and a maintenance session is usually recommended to keep them.
£195 per session. You are quoted precisely at consultation, once Dr Corcoran has seen your skin.
Redness usually settles within a day or two and swelling within about three days. Bruising can take up to a week to fade, and is more likely under the eyes.
Yes. It suits thin, tired looking skin under the eyes. Hollowing caused by the structure beneath the skin needs a different approach, which the consultation will identify.
Neither is better. Jalupro suits skin that looks tired, dull or dehydrated. Profhilo suits firmness and early laxity. Dr Corcoran chooses between them based on what your skin is actually doing.
Redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising are expected and pass within days to a week. A blocked blood vessel is a rare risk of any hyaluronic acid injection, and is treatable when it is recognised quickly.
