WHAT are skin boosters?  

Skin boosters contain vaious ingredients to really boost the health of the skin from inside out.

One I use in clinic is a mix of highly concentrated Hyaluronic acid and essential nutrients: 
– Hyaluronic Acid – The HA used in this product is highly concentrated and non-crosslinked. This will help improve hydration, firmness and viscoelastic properties of the skin as well as tissue restructuring and cell regeneration. 
– Essential* and non-essential amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Leucine*, Isoleucine*, Valine*, Glycine, Lysine*, Threonine*, Proline, Vit 6, Zinc & Copper for tissue restructuring and cell regeneration. Gluthathione, N-Acetyl-I-cystein, Alpha-lipoic Acid for anti-oxidant protection.

HOW AND WHAT DOES IT HELP WITH? 

Ski boosters help with skin redensification and prevention of the signs of aging. It boosts hydration of the skin and replenishes lost nutrients. Fibroblasts will be activated promoting collagen and elastin. It can help give a radiant healthy glow to the skin. Studies show skin texture, roughness of the skin and volume of lines on the cheeks were significantly improved with consecutive treatment.  

The goal is to treat skin, not to try to fill lines or increase volume. The papillary dermis is the area of skin that is home to fibroblasts and elasticity. This is where we are targetting. It is incredibly superficial, therefore only a non cross-linked HA product should be used to ensure no residual lumping of the skin – a direct result of injecting a cross-linked product. If a cross-linked product is used, tiny lumps of HA will be left in the skin. These lumps can take up to 12 months to disappear. This product will integrate into this zone, nourish and treat the skin and allow the fibrobalsts to lay down new collagen and elastin.

AREAS WE CAN USE THE TREATMENT?  

Potential treatment areas are the full face, including delicate areas such as under eyes and around the lip lines, neck, decolletage and hands.  

IS IT PAINFUL? 

We can apply numbing cream topically to the area to be treated and utilise ice packs if required. I’m my own personal experience, it is very manageable.  

WHO CAN HAVE THE TREATMENT? 

Anyone can have the treatment. Any skin types (as long as there are no active acne/pimples/ infections etc.) and anyone over 18years. 

WHAT IS THE DOWN TIME? 

On average, minimal downtime is expected. Some patients have absolutely no bruising post treatment; others, particularly with very fragile skin, will experience bruising and blotchiness post treatment which can take up to 4 days to settle.  

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE TREATMENT?

To get the best results you typically need to commit to 3 treatments initially spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. After completion of the three treatments, a yearly booster is recommended. Some patients prefer to have a 6 monthly booster or a booster a few weeks prior to a special event.
