Skin boosters are injectables designed to improve skin texture, elasticity, hydration, and overall appearance.
Skin booster treatments involve injecting hyaluronic acid, a soft, gel-like substance, under the skin. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
-
Hyaluronic Acid (HA): The primary ingredient in skin boosters is HA, a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture. As we age, our HA levels decrease, leading to dryness and reduced elasticity. Skin boosters replenish HA, hydrating the skin from within.
-
Mechanism of Action: Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, skin boosters primarily focus on improving skin quality. The injected HA attracts water molecules, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines. It also stimulates collagen production, leading to long-term improvements in skin firmness and elasticity.
-
Benefits:
- Improved skin hydration and radiance (giving an overall "glow").
- Increased skin elasticity and firmness.
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improved skin texture.
- Can be used on various areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
-
Procedure: A series of small injections are administered across the treatment area. The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual and the specific product used, but typically involves an initial course of 2-3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.
-
Results: Results are gradual, with improvements becoming noticeable over several weeks as collagen production increases and the skin becomes more hydrated.
Skin boosters provide a subtle yet effective way to rejuvenate the skin, offering a more natural-looking result than some other injectable treatments.
