Skin Boosters

All about this treatment

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to hydrate and improve the overall quality of your skin. They typically contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture.

What they do:

– Hydration: Skin boosters deliver intense hydration to the skin, making it look plumper, smoother, and more radiant.
– Improved Elasticity: By boosting hydration, they can improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
– Enhanced Texture: Skin boosters can refine skin texture, minimising the appearance of pores and improving overall smoothness.
– Brighter Complexion: Increased hydration can lead to a brighter, more glowing complexion.

How long it takes:

A typical skin booster treatment session takes approximately 60 minutes.

How it’s administered:

A qualified practitioner injects small amounts of the skin booster product into the dermis (the middle layer of skin) using a very fine needle. Multiple injections are administered across the treatment area, which could be the face, neck, décolletage, or hands. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort.

Aftercare:

– Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least six hours after the treatment.
– Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, and saunas for 24 hours.
– Avoid make-up for at least 12 hours, or as advised by your practitioner.
– Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily.
– Follow any specific instructions provided by your practitioner.
– Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help maximise the benefits of the treatment.
– Gentle skincare: Use mild cleansers and moisturisers in the days following the treatment. Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinoids until your skin has fully recovered.
