Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters are a gel like solution which is delivered into the skin through a series of tiny injections. Think of it like a very thin filler, which is made of hylauronic acid (an ingredient already found in your skin).
A booster involves lots of micro injections scattered across the face. You can choose a large area of your face or just single areas, such as your cheeks, forehead, eyes, around your mouth, neck or even your hands or body areas.
How do Skin Boosters work?
Skin boosters increase the water content of the skin because hylauronic acid attracts 1000 times its weight in water. This makes the skin super hydrated and brighter. In addition skin boosters have a ‘bio-remodelling effect’ as well, which means they make your skin improve from the inside out.
The hyaluronic acid which is slowly released into the skin, causes a chain reaction of events. Your skin starts working harder and produces more collagen and elastin. These substances make your skin firmer and smoother, and therefore more youthful.
Overall a booster will make you look fresher, brighter, and with smoother firmer skin
​What is the difference between a skin booster and a dermal filler?
The difference is that the types of products are uniquely designed to do 2 very different things. Traditional fillers are used to alter shape and volume, for example injecting filler into your cheeks to improve the shape and contour of your face. A filler stays where it’s put.
A skin booster is not changing the shape or contour of your face in any way. The product is finer and is designed to evenly spread around the level of skin where it’s injected. So a bit like an oil slick it will disperse and fill up the area. This will give the skin an instant improvement, as well as kick starting a long term renewal process.
How long does it last?
Most boosters are designed to be carried out in a package of 2 or 3 sessions. The full improvement can take around 4 weeks, and the results of a skin booster should last up to 6 months. After that time you can repeat the process or just continually ‘top up’ your skin with individual treatments at 3-6 month intervals.
