Skin Boosters

What are skinboosters?

Skinboosters are a product similar to very fine dermal fillers injected into the skin to hydrate nourish and rejuvenate.

They are different to traditional dermal fillers. Fillers can be used to create volume in the face or to change the shape of the face, however skinboosters cannot do this. 

They are microinjections placed only inside the skin to make it look younger, healthier and more plump.

They can be used on any part of the body, including face, neck, decolletage and hands and can improve fine lines and skin hydration.

The treatment involves the use of several superficial injections in the skin 1-2cm apart. These injections are done using a needle & syringe, just like other injectable treatments Each session takes approximately 45 minutes (usually for one area e.g. décolletage). You will be advised to attend the clinic 60-90 minutes before the treatment so that an anaesthetic cream can be applied to minimise any discomfort during the treatment. 

After the treatment the area will be massaged with a post treatment cream. Most patients look ‘puffy’ in the treated area immediately after the treatment and this can last for 24-48 hours. Any swelling is usually mild and only noticeable to the patient or friends who know them well. Bruising at the site of injections is also possible and clears completely in 1-10 days. A light liquid or mineral-based makeup can be worn after the treatment.

You will also see small ‘bumps’ on the skin surface immediately after the treatment and these will completely disappear over the next 2-5 days.

You will notice a distinct improvement in your skin texture within 2 weeks from the first session. However, to guarantee long lasting results and a high level of satisfaction, you should repeat the treatment every 3-4 weeks for a total of 3 treatments followed by a maintenance treatment 1-2  times per year where possible depending on your age and the condition of your skin when you start the treatments.

 Are skin boosters safe?

• Skin boosters are completely safe as their main and only ingredient is a component that is naturally found in your skin and bones. Because of this, there is no risk of an allergic or an adverse reaction to the microinjections. Skin boosters are very safe which is why you can get them injected all the way to the lower lash line of your eyes.

How do skin boosters work?

• Skin boosters work by allowing the skin to repair and restore itself from the inside out. The product promotes wound healing which in turn increases collagen production and improves the elastin properties in the skin. All of this results in a glowy skin.

How long do skin boosters last?

• After the initial stage, the skin boosters should be injected once every six months. By the end of the six months, the effects of the beauty booster start to disappear. However, it is important to keep in mind that the skin boosters may last for a shorter period of time if you undergo any laser treatment or energy-based treatments as they can dissolve the effects of the microinjections.
