Skin Boosters / Biostimulators
If you’re looking for a way to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, skin boosters may be the perfect solution. Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality by delivering intense hydration, boosting radiance, and restoring a youthful glow. They are one of the most popular non-surgical options for achieving smooth, hydrated, and naturally radiant skin.
Skin boosters are hyaluronic acid-based injections that are delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, skin boosters work by:
- Deep hydration: Drawing moisture into the skin to keep it plump and soft.
- Improving elasticity: Enhancing the skin’s natural elasticity for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles: Softening lines and imperfections for a smoother complexion.
- Enhancing skin texture: Making the skin feel smoother and more even.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps to retain moisture. As we age, the amount of HA in our skin decreases, leading to dryness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Skin boosters replenish your skin’s HA levels, making it look hydrated, healthy, and refreshed.
Skin boosters are delivered via tiny injections into the dermis, where they attract moisture and stimulate collagen production. This results in long-lasting hydration and skin revitalization. Here’s how the procedure works:
Consultation
Before your skin booster treatment, a consultation is done to assess your skin’s condition and understand your goals. We’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment Preparation
Cleansing: The treatment area is cleansed to ensure a sterile environment.
Topical anaesthetic: A numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort, although the treatment is generally well-tolerated with only minor sensations.
Injection Process
- Microinjections: Using a very fine needle, the skin booster is injected into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, where it can provide deep hydration.
- Precision application: The injections are placed strategically across the treatment area (face, neck, décolletage, or hands), allowing even distribution of hydration.
- Duration: The entire procedure takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
The treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. It’s a quick and minimally invasive procedure, making it a great option for people with busy schedules.
There is minimal downtime after skin booster treatments. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
You’ll notice an immediate boost in hydration and radiance after the first treatment. However, the full benefits develop over the next 2-4 weeks as the hyaluronic acid continues to attract moisture and improve the skin’s texture. Over time, your skin will look smoother, plumper, and more youthful.
The results of skin boosters typically last for 6 to 12 months, depending on your skin type and the specific treatment used. To maintain optimal results, follow-up treatments are recommended once or twice a year.
For best results, a course of 2 to 3 treatments, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, is usually recommended. After completing the initial course, maintenance treatments can be done every 6 to 12 months to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
Yes, skin boosters are considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, so allergic reactions are extremely rare. Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolve quickly.
Yes, skin boosters can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and chemical peels for enhanced results. Your practitioner will help create a customized treatment plan based on your individual skin needs and goals.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment. A topical numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to reduce any discomfort. The tiny injections are quick, and any sensation of pinching is usually brief.
It’s best to avoid wearing makeup for 12-24 hours after the treatment to reduce the risk of infection and allow the skin to heal. Once the initial redness subsides, you can safely apply makeup.
Skin boosters are suitable for anyone looking to improve skin hydration, smooth fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture. They are ideal for individuals with dry or dull skin, or those starting to notice early signs of aging. Skin boosters work well for all skin types and ages, from younger individuals looking to prevent aging to more mature skin needing rejuvenation.
No, skin boosters and dermal fillers serve different purposes. While dermal fillers add volume to specific areas (like the lips or cheeks), skin boosters are designed to improve overall skin quality by providing deep hydration and enhancing the skin’s texture, elasticity, and glow.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid Touching the Area
- Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 6 hours after the treatment to avoid spreading the product or irritating the skin.
- Keep the Area Clean
- Avoid applying makeup, creams, or other skincare products to the treated area for 12 to 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
- Make sure to gently cleanse your face with a mild, non-irritating cleanser.
- Avoid Sun Exposure
- Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, especially for the first few days after treatment.
- Avoid tanning beds or prolonged exposure to the sun for at least 7 days after the treatment.
- Stay Hydrated
- Drink plenty of water to help the skin booster work more effectively, as hydration boosts the effects of hyaluronic acid.
