Skin boosters
WHAT ARE SKIN BOOSTERS ?
A clear gel like substance containing high concentration of hyaluronic acid .
HOW DO THEY WORK ?
They absorb moisture like a super sponge hence rehydrating the skin from within as well as stimulating the production of collagen which in turn improves fine lines, skin laxity and wrinkles creating a fresher, firmer complexion. Treatment involves hydrating microinjections using a very fine needle . Numbing cream can be used to make the procedure more comfortable
AREAS TREATED
The most common uses of skin boosters are for facial rejuvenation. However, this is a versatile treatment that can be used to treat many different skin areas e.g. neck, décolletage, backs of the hands. They can also be used on difficult to treat areas, like tightening the skin under the chin. They are safe for all skin types, ages and genders.
Depending on the treatment chosen, some of the potential benefits include:
- More radiant complexion
- Healthier skin tone
- Reduction in visible lines and wrinkles
- Tighter, lifted skin
- Better hydration – a flattering ‘glow’
- Firmer skin texture
- Softer skin with more elasticity
- Reduction in patchy pigmentation
After treatment
Skin boosters are biodegradable which means that they are broken down by the body. To ensure optimal and long lasting results a course of 3 treatments 4 - 6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by a maintenance treatment every 6 months .
Downtime is minimal . After skin booster treatment some reactions might occur such as slight redness, swelling, itching, bruising pain and tenderness. Reactions are generally mild to moderate and disappear shortly after injection. They typically resolve spontaneously within one or two days. If you have any concerns always contact the clinic for advice and follow up.
