As more people seek radiant, youthful skin, skin booster treatments are increasing in popularity as a non-invasive, effective solution. But what are skin booster treatments, and how can they benefit your skin?
In a nutshell, skin boosters are injectables which improve skin hydration, elasticity and radiance. These treatments can be used to treat the face, neck, decolletage and hands. Widely known as ‘injectable moisturisers’, skin boosters contain a high percentage of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is also in soft tissue filler, but the molecules in skin boosters and fillers are very different; hyaluronic acid in skin boosters is used to increase hydration as opposed to its use in filler which is used to increase volume.
The benefits of skin boosters include
- Increased hydration and radiance
Compared to traditional moisturisers that work on the surface, skin boosters inject hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis, delivering long lasting, intense hydration from within the skin. This deep hydration helps to keep skin plump and more radiant
- Improved skin texture
The small injections trigger the skins own repair process, leading to increased collagen production. Collagen is a protein found within the skin, which after the age of 25 decreased by 1% each year. The loss of collagen decreases the skins firmness and this leads to fine lines. As skin boosters simultaneously trigger collagen production and increase skin hydration, the treatments can improve the appearance of fine lines, minimise the look of pores, and improve skin smoothness
- A non invasive treatment
The procedure involves several micro injections which are quick and relatively painless, so you can resume your regular routine afterwards; a great option for people seeking low maintenance, yet an effective skin solution
- Delivers natural results
Due to its molecular rheology skin boosters will only allow for natural, subtle results without altering your facial features. As the treatment works with your skin’s natural processes – like collagen production and hydration – you’l look refreshed and rejuvenated, instead of noticeably different
At Revive Skin Clinic we use a variety of skin boosters, all of which differ very slightly and have differing downtimes, longevity, maintenance and cost. During a thorough consultation we can discuss the best skin booster to suit you and this will depend on your skin condition, your concerns and your lifestyle.
