This guide covers recovery only. The treatment itself — in brief, from the Jalupro Dubai — Amino-Acid Skin Booster (Classic, Young Eye & Super Hydro) page:
- Procedure
- Around 20–30 minutes: after numbing cream, the amino-acid and hyaluronic-acid solution is placed with fine needles — across the face for Classic, around the lower lids for Young Eye, or more deeply for Super Hydro
- Course
- A course of 2–4 sessions about 2 weeks apart, then a maintenance session roughly every 6 months
- Results
- Hydration and texture often improve within 2–3 weeks, with firmness building over the course; results typically last around 6 months
- Options
- Three versions — Classic (face), Young Eye (under-eye) and Super Hydro (deep hydration)
How amino acids and hyaluronic acid rebuild collagen and elastin, the three formulations, how it compares with Sunekos and Profhilo, before-and-after photos, and 10 answered questions are on the treatment page.

How to Prepare (Before Care)
✓ Do
- Arrive with clean, bare skin — remove all make-up, SPF and heavy serums so the injection points stay sterile.
- Tell Dr Azra about every medication and supplement you take, including retinoids, so your session can be tailored safely.
Read moreShow less
- Eat a light meal and stay well hydrated before you arrive — this helps you feel comfortable during the injections.
- Plan your first session at least two weeks before any event, since Jalupro results build gradually over 3–4 weeks.
- Ask about combining Jalupro with other skin boosters if you want a fuller collagen programme.
✗ Avoid before
- Avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E for 24 hours (unless prescribed) to reduce bruising.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment, as it thins the blood and increases swelling.

- Skip strong actives — retinol, AHAs and exfoliating acids — for a few days so your skin is calm on the day.
- Avoid facials, waxing, peels or laser on the treatment area in the week beforehand.
- Don’t book around active breakouts, cold sores or skin infections in the area — reschedule if any appear.

After Your Treatment — Day by Day
The first day
24hYou may notice tiny bumps or papules at each injection point, along with mild redness, pinkness or slight swelling.

This is completely normal for a skin booster — the small bumps are simply the product sitting just under the surface and most settle within a few hours to about two days. Leave them alone, keep the skin clean and skip make-up for 12–24 hours.
Days 1 to 7
1–7Any bumps flatten and redness fades as the amino acids and hyaluronic acid begin to disperse and hydrate the tissue.

Avoid touching or massaging the area, and hold off on strenuous exercise, sauna, steam and hot showers for the first 24–48 hours. Keep to gentle, hydrating skincare and apply a daily SPF whenever you are outdoors in Dubai.

— skin looks more hydrated, plumper and smoother as fibroblasts are stimulated to produce fresh collagen and elastin. You can gradually reintroduce actives such as retinol, but wait 1–2 weeks before any facials, peels or laser treatments on the area.

Why Jalupro Aftercare Matters
Why careful aftercare matters
Jalupro is a skin booster, so most of its work happens just under the surface in the days and weeks after each session.
Read moreShow less
Treating the skin gently, protecting it from heat and UV, and leaving the injection points undisturbed all help the amino acids and hyaluronic acid disperse evenly and stimulate collagen without unnecessary swelling or bruising. Good aftercare will not change the science of the product, but it removes the small things that can slow healing — so you reach the smoother, more hydrated result more quickly and comfortably.
Getting the most from your course
Because Jalupro is designed as a short course of 2–3 sessions, the care you follow between visits shapes your final result.
DetailsShow less
Staying well hydrated, wearing daily SPF and keeping to a gentle routine holds the skin in good condition so each session builds on the last. Dr Azra reviews your skin at every appointment, confirms the ideal spacing for your sessions and sets a simple maintenance plan once your course is complete, so the firmness and glow are kept up over the months that follow.
When to contact the clinic. Mild redness, tiny temporary papules and slight swelling are all expected after Jalupro and settle quickly — there is no need to worry about these. However, please get in touch promptly if you notice spreading redness or warmth, increasing rather than easing pain after 48 hours, signs of infection such as pus or fever, a bump that keeps growing or hardens, or any blanching, dusky discolouration or unusual visual changes. Dr Azra’s team is here to reassure and help — message us any time on WhatsApp +971 50 180 1793.
— Common Questions
Jalupro Aftercare FAQ
Are the little bumps after Jalupro normal?
Yes — small, temporary bumps or papules at each injection point are a completely normal feature of skin boosters like Jalupro and similar treatments. They are simply the product sitting just under the surface and usually settle within a few hours to about two days. The key is to leave them alone: don’t press, rub or massage them, and they will smooth out on their own.
How long is the downtime and when can I wear make-up?
Downtime is minimal. You may have mild redness, swelling and tiny bumps on the day, but most people return to normal activities straight away. We ask you to skip make-up for 12–24 hours so the injection points can close cleanly, and to keep to gentle, hydrating skincare for the first day or two before resuming your usual routine.
When can I exercise, use the sauna or take a hot shower?
Avoid strenuous exercise, sauna, steam rooms and very hot showers for the first 24–48 hours, as heat and raised blood flow can increase swelling and prolong redness. Gentle walking is fine. After two days you can return to your normal fitness and spa routine unless Dr Azra advises otherwise.
When will I see results from Jalupro?
Jalupro works gradually rather than instantly. You’ll usually notice better hydration and glow within the first couple of weeks, with firmer, smoother, plumper skin building over 3–4 weeks as new collagen forms. Because it is a course treatment, the best results come after 2–3 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart — Dr Azra will confirm your plan at your consultation.
Can I combine Jalupro with other skin treatments?
Yes, Jalupro pairs well with other boosters and regenerative treatments such as Sunekos or NCTF for a fuller collagen programme, but timing matters. Wait about 1–2 weeks before facials, peels or laser on the treated area, and let Dr Azra sequence any combination so your skin heals well between steps.
