Skin Boosters
Natural, radiant and glowing skin needs to be hydrated and nourished. Unlike traditional skincare products that need to be applied to the skin’s surface to provide hydration and which are then washed away, skin boosters are designed to be placed just under the skin, hydrating from within in order to increase the skin’s smoothness, elasticity and firmness. With skin boosters, acne-scarred or photo-damaged skin can be hydrated from the inside while gradually improving its quality, leaving your skin looking fresh and invigorated.
Frequently asked questions
Skin boosters contain Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin, but which our body loses the ability to produce as we age. HA has a remarkable ability to retain water, therefore dramatically improving the hydration of the skin. This deep hydration supports your skin’s own collagen and elastin to provide an overall improvement in your skin’s appearance to reveal a natural, healthy glow.
The procedure involves a series of low volume micro-injections of HA just under the skin’s surface of the affected area. A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to the procedure and the product also contains local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort.
Commonly treated areas:
- Full Face
- Lips
- Neck
- Décolleté
- Hands
- Any sun exposed areas
A difference will be visible immediately, but it is suggested that a few sessions take place over an extended period – usually 4 weeks apart.
Slight redness or minor bruising can be expected around the treated area. Excessive sun or extreme cold should be avoided until the redness has disappeared.
