Skin Boosters Treatment: What To Expect?

Skin boosters are a class of products that are intended to replenish hydration, improve light reflection, and smooth the skin without changing the structure of the face.

While each skin booster product has a unique composition, they differ from ordinary fillers. The goal of skin boosters is to hydrate the skin from within improving its overall quality and health. The goal of dermal fillers is to add fullness, shape, or contour.

Your skin booster treatment is performed by a licensed healthcare professional with adequate training. After disinfecting the treatment area, the product is injected into small microdroplets using a very fine needle just beneath the surface of the skin, in the dermis. The areas treated with this class of products are primarily the cheeks, the lower face, and the upper lip lines, as well as the neck, chest, and back of the hands. The treatment takes less than 20 minutes and discomfort is minimal.

Immediately post-treatment, you may not notice the result, but over the ensuing weeks, you feel your skin is better hydrated, has a lovely glow, and has improved elasticity and firmness. You can expect your results to last up to 6 months with optimal treatment.

The gradual firming effect comes from enhanced collagen production.
