Dr Joney De Souza brings Teoxane babyGLOW to Marylebone: eight precise points of Redensity 1 on each side of the face for a glow you can see the same day and hydration that builds for weeks.
Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser meets two kinds of skin in the babyGLOW consultation room, and they are usually a decade apart. The first belongs to someone in their twenties or early thirties whose skin is healthy but photographs flat. A good night’s sleep no longer shows on their face, and foundation has quietly become a daily necessity rather than a choice. The second belongs to someone past thirty five. Fine lines have started to settle across the cheeks, the skin feels drier by mid afternoon, and light no longer bounces off the face the way it once did.
Teoxane wrote a protocol for each, so the treatment meets you where your skin actually is. Our Marylebone patients most often arrive with:
Men are just as welcome, because Teoxane has adapted the injection points for masculine faces. It is worth saying plainly what babyGLOW is for. It is a skin quality treatment rather than a filler, so the shape of your face stays exactly as it is. If you want to restore lost volume you will be better served by dermal fillers, and lines that appear only when you frown or smile belong to anti-wrinkle injections. Every course here begins with a face to face assessment with Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci.
Teoxane babyGLOW™ is a skin booster built around one product and one technique. The product is Teosyal PureSense Redensity 1, a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel from Teoxane, the Geneva laboratory that has specialised in hyaluronic acid since 2003. The technique is an 8-point injection pattern developed by a global consensus of aesthetic doctors. It was presented at the IMCAS congress in Paris in 2026. Together they answer a request we hear every week: a glow that shows quickly, then skin quality that keeps improving after it.
Redensity 1 carries 15 mg/ml of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Alongside it sits what Teoxane calls the Dermo-Restructuring Complex, a blend of amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that feeds the environment around the skin cells. Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin and holds it there, while the complex supports the skin’s own repair over the weeks that follow. Older skin booster methods scatter dozens of tiny droplets just under the surface, which can leave visible bumps for a day or two. babyGLOW instead places eight small deposits per side into the layer just beneath the skin, at points chosen for how the face reflects light. So the product spreads evenly, and the glow is immediate.
Men ask us for the same thing women do, phrased differently: to look less tired in meetings and on camera, and for nobody to know why. Teoxane built babyGLOW for HIM around exactly that brief. The clinical formula is unchanged, while the eight points have been re-mapped for masculine anatomy. The spacing across the cheek is wider, so light spreads rather than pools. A point is added at the angle of the jaw, and nothing is placed below the corner of the mouth. In Teoxane’s patient feedback on the male protocol, 96 percent saw a visible improvement. Every patient surveyed felt able to return to their day straight afterwards. Redensity 1 is a CE-marked medical device, and you can read more about it on Teoxane’s website.
A face looks radiant when light reflects evenly from its high points. Those are the upper cheek, the angle of the jaw, the area beside the mouth and the spot just under the tail of the brow. Skin that has lost hydration scatters that light instead, which is why tired skin reads as tired even after a good week. The 8-point technique places a small bolus of Redensity 1 at each of those points. Four landmark lines drawn on the face keep every injection in the same safe plane.
Each point receives 0.2 ml, with 0.1 ml at the brow, through a very fine 30 gauge needle only 4 mm long. That depth matters more than it sounds. Ultrasound imaging in Teoxane’s published case study shows the gel sitting evenly in the layer just under the skin. It is integrated into the tissue, with no nodules and no drift downwards. A gentle massage at the end of the session spreads it further, so the bumps other skin boosters leave behind are rarely seen here. The glow you see that afternoon is hydration arriving; the firmness you notice at week three is your own collagen answering.
Every babyGLOW session at our clinic follows the same calm, deliberate sequence, so you always know what comes next.
Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci looks at your skin’s hydration, texture and firmness, then talks through your goals and medical history. Together you confirm whether the beautification or rejuvenation protocol suits you. If you want the full picture, a VISIA skin analysis maps the dehydration and sun damage sitting beneath the surface.
Your doctor cleanses the skin and draws Teoxane’s four landmark lines with a skin marker. Where the lines cross gives the eight points on each side of your face. It takes a couple of minutes, and it is the reason every injection lands in the same safe layer.
Redensity 1 goes in at each point through a fine 4 mm needle, 0.2 ml at a time. Most people describe a series of small pinches rather than pain, and the whole sequence takes around ten to fifteen minutes.
A gentle massage spreads the gel evenly through the layer beneath the skin, so that any small bumps at the points settle within a few hours. You leave with a visible glow and go straight back to your day.
Session two follows four weeks later. On the rejuvenation protocol, session three follows six weeks after that. We photograph your skin at each visit, because hydration and elasticity build with every session and progress is easier to see than to remember.
Skin booster photographs reward a slow look. Brightness is the easy part, and a good facial can buy you a week of it. What to look for is whether the light sits differently across the cheek and jaw a month later, because that is hydration and firmness changing rather than a good day.

Nobody books a skin booster to spend the week explaining it. Most of our patients want to know three things before they say yes. How long does it take, how will I look walking out, and when does the change become obvious to other people? Here is how the whole experience unfolds, from the first conversation to the review.
Everything starts with a consultation with Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci. They look at your skin in person, ask about your medical history and any medication, and agree the protocol with you. Arrive with clean skin if you can, and pause retinoids and strong acids for a few days beforehand. Mention any history of cold sores. A written plan comes before anything is booked.
The appointment takes 30 to 45 minutes, most of it conversation and mapping. Your doctor cleanses the skin, draws the landmark lines, then places Redensity 1 at the eight points on each side of your face. Expect a series of small pinches rather than discomfort, since the needle is only 4 mm long. A gentle massage finishes the session so the gel spreads evenly.
You leave with a visible glow and no bandages, no downtime and no need to hide. Small raised points at the injection sites usually settle within a few hours. A pinpoint bruise or faint redness is possible and fades within days. Keep the skin clean, leave make up off until the following morning, and skip saunas and heavy exercise that day. Teoxane recommends its RHA Serum to carry the glow between sessions. You go home with written aftercare and a direct line to the clinic.
Any clinic can buy a syringe of Redensity 1. What you are choosing is the judgement of the person holding it, because eight points placed a centimetre too high are eight points wasted. At Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser, in the Harley Street medical district, every babyGLOW session is placed by a doctor. Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci performs it to Teoxane’s protocol, after a medical consultation. That is how the treatment was designed to be given, and it is how we give it.
“Skin quality is the foundation everything else sits on,” says Dr Joney De Souza. “When the skin itself is hydrated and healthy, you need far less of anything else to look well. babyGLOW gives people that foundation quickly, and the technique is precise enough that I know exactly what each point is doing.” That precision cuts both ways. If your skin needs volume, structure or resurfacing rather than hydration, we will say so at the consultation. Then we will point you to the treatment that will actually help.
Dr Joney De Souza Clinic plans every babyGLOW course around your skin, not a fixed package. Each session uses one 3 ml syringe of Teosyal PureSense Redensity 1 across the eight points on both sides of the face. Your doctor recommends the number of sessions once they have assessed your skin in person, and your written plan and its investment are set out at consultation before anything is booked.
| Option | Sessions | Spacing |
|---|---|---|
Teoxane babyGLOW single session (full face) | 1 | One visit |
Teoxane babyGLOW beautification course | 2 | Four weeks apart |
Teoxane babyGLOW rejuvenation course | 3 | Four weeks, then six weeks |
Teoxane babyGLOW for HIM | 1 to 3 | Same courses, points mapped for a masculine face |
babyGLOW is a face protocol, and the eight points stop at the jaw. When the neck and chest have lost the same light, the answer is the same product placed differently. Our Redensity 1 skin booster treatment covers the face, neck and décolletage in whichever combination your skin needs, so the glow does not end at the collar. Many patients run the two together over a year: babyGLOW for the face in spring, then a neck and décolletage session before summer.
The questions our Marylebone patients ask most about Teoxane babyGLOW, answered by the doctors who perform it. If yours is missing, our team is always happy to talk it through on the phone or over WhatsApp.
Teoxane babyGLOW is a hyaluronic acid skin booster treatment from Teoxane, the Swiss hyaluronic acid specialist. It uses one product, Teosyal PureSense Redensity 1, placed with an 8-point injection technique designed and validated by a global group of aesthetic doctors. The aim is an immediate glow, then a longer term improvement in hydration, elasticity and skin quality.
Redensity 1 is a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel carrying 15 mg/ml of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Alongside it sits a complex of amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that Teoxane calls the Dermo-Restructuring Complex. It is a CE-marked medical device made by Teoxane in Geneva, used for skin quality treatments for many years. We already use it for our skin booster treatments on the face, neck and décolletage.
No, and that is rather the point. Redensity 1 is not crosslinked, so it spreads through the layer under the skin to hydrate and revitalise. It does not hold shape or add volume the way a dermal filler does. If you want to restore volume or definition, your doctor will talk to you about fillers instead, or alongside.
Both are hyaluronic acid skin boosters, and both earn their place. Profhilo uses a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid at five points per side. It is chosen mainly for laxity and crepey skin, including on the neck, hands and body. babyGLOW uses Redensity 1 with added amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins at eight points per side of the face, for an immediate glow and hydration. Many of our patients use both across a year, and Dr Joney sequences them so each gets a clear run at your skin.
Your doctor draws four landmark lines on the face. Redensity 1 is then injected at eight anatomical points on each side. Four sit along the cheek, one at the angle of the jaw, two beside the mouth and one just under the tail of the brow. Each point receives 0.2 ml, with 0.1 ml at the brow, so a full face uses one 3 ml syringe. The points were chosen for how the face reflects light, and for safety.
Most people see a glow the same day, once the small bumps at the injection points have settled. Teoxane’s data shows further improvement over the following nine days as the gel integrates and draws water into the skin. Hydration and elasticity then build with each session of your course.
Teoxane’s beautification protocol, designed for people in their twenties and early thirties, is two sessions four weeks apart. The rejuvenation protocol, for people over thirty five, is three sessions. The first two are four weeks apart, then a third follows six weeks after the second. Your doctor recommends one at your consultation and adjusts it once your skin has shown how it responds.
Results build over the course and are then held with maintenance sessions. Teoxane recommends a maintenance plan after the initial course rather than a fixed interval, because skin, age and lifestyle vary so much between patients. We agree your rhythm at the review appointment. Many people fold it into a wider skin longevity plan.
Redensity 1 is placed with a very fine 30 gauge needle only 4 mm long, so most people describe a series of small pinches rather than pain. In Teoxane’s real-world assessment, 88 percent of patients felt comfortable during the injections. Tell your doctor if you would like a topical numbing cream applied first.
Very little. You may see small raised points where the gel was placed, and they usually settle within a few hours after the massage at the end of your session. A pinpoint bruise or mild redness is possible and fades within a few days. In Teoxane’s assessment, 98 percent of patients went straight back to their daily activities.
A doctor, always. Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci performs every babyGLOW session at our Marylebone clinic. Both work to Teoxane’s protocol, after a face to face medical consultation. Skin boosters are injectable medical treatments, and we do not hand them on.
Once babyGLOW makes sense, the next question is always comparative, and rightly so. Skin boosters, biostimulators, polynucleotides and facials all promise better skin and arrive by different routes. Here is how we talk it through across the desk in Marylebone, including the questions people only think of once they are sitting down.
They work on different layers of the same problem. Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that signal the skin to repair itself. So they are the stronger choice for tired, sun-damaged skin and the under eye area. babyGLOW hydrates and adds glow you can see the same day. Plenty of patients have both across a year, and your doctor spaces them so nothing competes for the same healing.
A biostimulator such as Juläine asks your skin to build collagen over months, so its results arrive slowly and last long. babyGLOW hydrates immediately, then supports collagen over the course. Think of babyGLOW as the glow you want this month and a biostimulator as the structure you want next year. Many people run both.
Yes, and the pairing is a good one. A HydraFacial works on the surface, clearing and polishing, while babyGLOW works in the layer beneath it. We usually leave a week or two between them so each has the skin to itself.
The same product and the same clinical evidence, with the eight injection points re-mapped for masculine anatomy. Teoxane widened the spacing across the cheek so light spreads across the face rather than pooling. A point was added at the angle of the jaw, and the injection below the corner of the mouth was removed. The result is fresher, more hydrated skin that still looks entirely masculine. In Teoxane’s feedback, 96 percent of men rated the injections comfortable.
Skin boosters wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and until any active skin infection or inflammation has cleared. A known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine rules the treatment out. Some autoimmune and bleeding conditions, and some medications, need discussion first. Your doctor takes a full medical history at your consultation so the plan is right for you.
Redensity 1 is a CE-marked medical device from Teoxane, a Swiss company that has specialised in hyaluronic acid since 2003, with an established safety record in skin quality treatments. Like any injectable it can cause temporary redness, swelling, small bumps or bruising, and rarely a more significant reaction. Teoxane’s 78-patient assessment of the babyGLOW technique reported no adverse events in most patients. Treating with a doctor in a clinical setting is the best protection you can have.
Keep the skin clean and leave make up off the injection points until the following morning. Skip saunas, steam rooms and heavy exercise for the rest of the day, and use daily sunscreen as you always should. Teoxane recommends its RHA Serum, a topical hyaluronic acid, to extend the glow between sessions. Your doctor gives you written aftercare and a direct line to the clinic.
Same product, different map. Our skin booster treatment places Redensity 1 across the face, neck or décolletage in whichever combination your skin needs. babyGLOW is a face protocol with eight fixed anatomical points per side. Teoxane’s expert panel designed it for the most even glow with the least downtime. If your neck and chest need the same light, we combine the two.
Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci decides it with you at your consultation, after assessing your skin in person. Some people start with a single session, skin in its twenties and early thirties usually suits the beautification course of two, and the rejuvenation course of three suits skin over thirty five. Your written plan, including its investment, is set out before anything is booked. See your babyGLOW plan above.
Yes. Every injectable at Dr Joney De Souza begins with a face to face assessment with a doctor. The protocol and the number of sessions depend on your skin. If babyGLOW is not the right treatment for you, we will say so and tell you what would be.
Book a consultation online through our booking page, message us on WhatsApp, or call the clinic on 020 7043 0748. We are at 49 Blandford Street in Marylebone, a few minutes from Bond Street and Baker Street stations. Harley Street is a short walk away.
The protocol is standardised, and the results Teoxane publishes depend on it being followed. Dr Joney De Souza uses genuine Teosyal PureSense Redensity 1 supplied through Teoxane UK. Our doctors follow the 8-point technique as set out in Teoxane’s How-To Guide, and a doctor performs every session. Ask to see the product box at your appointment; any clinic offering the authentic treatment will be glad to show you.
Patients return to Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser for one reason above all: results that look like their own skin on its best day. Here is what a few of them said about their injectable treatments with us.
Had an excellent experience today getting the Profhilo treatment done by Dr. Joney De Souza. The entire team was so friendly, and prepped me about what I should expect during and after the treatment.
The clinic has played a huge role in my post-divorce glow-up, completely transforming both my face and body with incredible, natural-looking results. Dr. Joney De Souza is an artist, a perfectionist, and above all, a true professional.
I highly recommend Dr. Joney and his clinic. I have been his patient for many years and he is definitely one of the best. His work is natural and subtle, he always puts the patient’s interest first and will never try to upsell unnecessary treatments.
Dr Joney is the most wonderful Dr, kind and caring and highly experienced. I feel safe in his care and trust his opinion 100%.
