What can we do for you?
There is a minefield of products and information when it comes to all things aesthetic, and skin boosters are no exception.There are many types of skin boosters available, but what are they exactly?
Skin boosters are injectable skin care treatments aimed at improving skin texture and appearance by increasing elasticity and hydration.
No to be confused with dermal fillers which work in a different way, skin boosters take time to show results, so skin improvements won’t be immediate.
The easiest way to describe them is to imagine them as an injectable moisturiser and hydrator that works under the surface of the skin rather than moisturisers that you apply to your skin that will generally only sit on the surface.
How do they work?
Once injected, the product will spread through your skin to give a fabulous hydration boost that you may notice immediately.
The magic really begins to happen however within a few weeks when the collagen, elastin and fibroblasts within the skin are stimulated. These are the building blocks for healthy bouncy skin so anything that will stimulate them is a very good thing.
Collagen elastin and fibroblasts production decreases with age, therefore it can be extremely beneficial to have a course of skin boosters if you are noticing crepy skin, areas of skin laxity or a generally lacklustre complexion.
The results will leave you with improved elasticity, firmness and a radiance to your skin.
How long does it take to get results?
Skin boosters generally require a course of 2 or 3 sessions (depending on the type of booster used) spaced over a few weeks to see optimal results. After the prescribed course, it can take a few weeks to start noticing long term improvements in skin quality so you will need to be patient.
It is also possible to have a one off dose to a supercharged boost of hydration, but the results will most likely be for a shorter term.
Where can skin boosters be used?
Pretty much anywhere that is covered in skin. The whole purpose of the treatment is to increase hydration and to stimulate the essential building blocks needed for vibrant, bouncy skin.
Popular areas for treatment include: -
- Face
- Neck
- Decolletage
- Hands
If you think that a skin booster may be a good option for you, arrange a consultation with a good aesthetic clinic. They will be able to assess and recommend to most appropriate booster for your particular concerns.
