Skin boosters work through micro-injections of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in skin and joints that locks in moisture. Known for holding up to 1000x its weight in water, hyaluronic acid keeps skin hydrated, plump, and supple while adding volume.
Popular options include Restylane, Rejuran, and vitamin C-based boosters.
When skin boosters are injected into the deeper layers of the skin, they stimulate a particular type of cell called fibroblast, which produces collagen and elastin fibres.
These fibres are responsible for keeping the skin firm, plump and glowing with the proper elasticity.
These fibres also reduce the signs of ageing and help reverse skin damage due to external factors. Skin booster treatment can be performed on the face, hands, and neck.
Skin boosters are safe for adults of all ages and skin types but work best for those having dry and mature skin. In adults, a skin booster procedure may be recommended when there is a need to:
Skin booster treatment is a safe, minimally-invasive procedure. During the initial consultation, your dermatologist will determine the most appropriate skin booster for you. Here is how you can prepare for the treatment:
-
If you take vitamin E supplements, Ginkgo Biloba, green tea or fish oil, you must avoid them for at least a week before your skin booster appointment to avoid bruising.
-
You may be given an oral or topical antibiotic for a few days before the treatment to reduce the chances of infection.
-
You must avoid swimming, sauna or steam for at least 48 hours before the procedure.
-
If you are set to undergo skin booster treatment, avoid undergoing any other procedure on your face for a week.
Around 1 ml of the booster substance is injected into the skin during the skin booster treatment. You may observe a mosquito bite-like appearance on the skin that resolves by itself around an hour after the procedure, following which your skin will appear and feel normal. You may notice a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles a week or two after the first session.
You must understand that though hyaluronic acid acts as a collagen booster for your skin, the body naturally resorbs it. Its quantity in the injected areas continues to reduce over time.
For optimal results, you may need at least two or three sessions of skin booster treatment spaced over a couple of months. You may also require maintenance injections for a few months.
If you are unhappy with how dull or aged your skin looks, don’t blame it! Visit a trained and certified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon for a consultation. The doctor will evaluate your skin and determine the best possible way to restore the vitality and radiance of your skin. If boosters are recommended, your doctor will suggest the best skin booster.
Skin booster treatment is a safe procedure, but people with diabetes must take antibiotics for a few days before their appointment to reduce the risk of infections. If you are hypertensive or are on blood thinners for cardiovascular conditions, you must discuss this with your physician and stop taking the medication before skin booster treatment to avoid bruising.
Skin boosters are a boon for your skin and here’s why:
Following a skin booster treatment, it may take around two to three weeks for the results to show completely. Most skin boosters last approximately six to nine months, following which they require replenishment.
Skin boosters rejuvenate your skin and restore its glow and radiance, giving people the impression that the treatment is expensive. Let us tell you a secret– skin booster therapy is an affordable cosmetic treatment and most people undergo regular sessions to maintain their results.
There are several skin boosters, but the most popular is the Profhilo, which has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid. Greater the concentration of hyaluronic acid, the better the results. There are different skin boosters, each for a specific effect, for example, brightening booster, vitamin c booster, etc.
In most people, three sessions of skin booster treatment are required, and each session is spaced at a month’s interval. However, after evaluating your skin type and aesthetic goals, your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon will determine how many sessions of skin booster treatment you will require.
Skin booster treatment is not like dermal fillers that add volume. To reduce the shallowness of the eyes, you will require a volumizing treatment, and skin boosters are not what you need.
