Skin Boosters

Skin Boosters are a non surgical Cosmetic Injectable treatment that has been designed to improve the quality and hydration of skin. Containing Hyaluronic Acid and Biostimulators that deliver intense hydration, and stimulates collagen production to help improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Unlike Dermal Fillers that function to create volume, Skin Boosters hydrate and nourish deeply, revitalising the skin, and improving its appearance and texture. The added benefit of micro-injection sites trigger the natural healing process, stimulating collagen & elastin and can help counteract the effects of skin ageing.

Skin Boosters can help treat the following skin conditions;

• Dry/dehydrated skin
• Crepey skin
• Fine lines
• Acne scarring
• Skin texture
• Dull and uneven skin
• Crepey neck or decolletage
• Wrinkly hands

Every person has their own threshold for pain tolerance. A topical anaesthesia can be applied if you are concerned about pain. Typically using very small needles, there may be a stinging sensation during treatment. Our Cosmetic Nurses care about your experience, and will ensure you are comfortable throughout your treatment.

For the majority of clients, tenderness, inflammation and bruising will settle within 24-48 hours. The injection site “lumps” are a common result of treatment and will subside over 3-5 days. Our Cosmetic Nurses will guide you on how to take care of your skin post-treatment. LED Light Therapy can also help accelerate your healing time.

The majority of clients above the age of 18 are suitable for Skin Booster Treatments. We do recommend booking in a consultation with a Cosmetic Nurse to discuss your skin concerns and ensure this treatment is right for you. This treatment is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, persons under 18, those with an autoimmune disease, skin infections (in treatment area), and severe allergies.

The face, neck, decolletage and hands can be treated with Skin Boosters.

This will depend on your individual situation. Skin Booster injections can last between anywhere from 4-6 months depending on how quick your body absorbs the product. Your Cosmetic Nurse will recommend how many treatments you may require to achieve your skin goals.

You may experience some temporary side effects to Skin Booster treatments that include; injection site nodules “lumps” which will gradually subside within 3-5 days. Bruising, redness, swelling, pain and itching can last up to 24-48 hours. Our Cosmetic Nurse will ensure you are provided with the appropriate aftercare information.

Skin Booster results are seen approximately 1-2 weeks after treatment, by which point the Hyaluronic Acid has hydrated and smoothed out beneath the surface of the skin. Skin Booster components like: antioxidants, minerals, amino acids and vitamins, will gradually stimulate elastin and collagen in the skin, which can usually be seen 2-3 months after treatment.

Dermal Fillers and Skin Boosters are not the same product despite both containing Hyaluronic Acid. They behave in very different ways. Dermal Fillers are used to volumise, contour or augment specific areas of the face. Skin Boosters are used to deeply hydrate this skin which ultimately helps to improve the appearance of uneven textures, tone and condition of the skin. Skin boosters have a liquid form which can easily spread beneath your skin whereas Dermal Fillers are more of a gel like substance which stays where it is injected.
