ABOUT

Skin Boosters are micro-injections of dermal fillers into the skin to hydrate and improve skin quality. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, that are injected beneath the skin to fill lines and wrinkles, the Skin Booster treatment intends to hydrate the skin and promote new collagen and elastin production for long lasting results.

HOW IT WORKS

Before your procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied for enhanced comfort. Skin Boosters are then applied with a mesotherapy gun. This device utilizes a 9-point needle system to deliver a specific amount of dermal filler into a particular depth of your skin. By using suction, it brings the skin to the needles to provide an even distribution of the dermal filler up to 1mm into the skin.

Treatments usually divide the face into three sections: upper, mid and lower face. For a full-face treatment, each section receives 1 ml of dermal filler via 33 injection sites.

You can choose to have your face, neck and hands treated at the same time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do Skin Booster Injections differ from Dermal Filler Injections

Skin Boosters are an injectable treatment designed to improve skin quality, texture and radiance. Unlike other Dermal Fillers, Skin Booster Injections are not meant to change the shape of your face or build volume. Skin Boosters are made up of product called Redensity I which contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – a humectant that is naturally occurring in our skin – as well as a selection of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to nourish the skin. Redensity I is a non-crosslinked HA, which is why it does not build volume but disperses in the skin, providing diffuse hydration and boosting radiance. Most other Dermal Fillers are made up of crosslinked HA, which is more robust and why they can be used to create structure and restore volume in the treated areas.

Who can benefit from this treatment?

Skin Boosters are widely popular with for patients who want to build luminosity and hydration within the skin. It is a great treatment to try before a special event, as Skin Boosters create a youthful glow to the skin. This treatment is also a great option to smooth fine lines on the face and neck by hydrating the skin, as well as to even out the complexion.

Is there any downtime associated with the treatment?

ome patients may experience minor bleeding or grid marks at the injection sites after treatment, which typically dissipates within a matter of hours. Occasionally, there may be swelling or bruising after treatment, which should dissipate within a few days.
