Skin Boosters: Advanced Hydration Treatment
Skin boosters represent a unique category of injectable treatments focused on improving skin quality rather than adding volume or reducing wrinkles. These treatments provide deep hydration and stimulate collagen for overall skin enhancement.
Understanding Skin Boosters
Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, skin boosters use specially formulated hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and texture. The product integrates into skin tissue, attracting water and stimulating collagen production.
These treatments work through bio-remodelling - gradually improving skin quality from within. Rather than immediate dramatic changes, results develop over weeks as skin health improves.
Types of Skin Boosters
Profhilo
This innovative treatment uses high-concentration hyaluronic acid without chemical cross-linking. It spreads through tissue, providing widespread hydration and bio-stimulation. The unique formulation stimulates four types of collagen and elastin.
Restylane Skinboosters
These products contain stabilised hyaluronic acid particles that create water reservoirs in skin. Multiple formulations target different concerns - Vital for general hydration, Vital Light for delicate areas.
Teoxane Redensity
This combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The cocktail approach provides comprehensive skin nutrition alongside hydration.
Treatment Protocols
BAP Technique
Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique for Profhilo uses just 5 injection points per side of face. This minimises discomfort while ensuring even product distribution. The specific points target areas of maximum spread.
Microinjection Technique
Traditional skin boosters use multiple small injections across treatment areas. This ensures even coverage but requires more injection points. Topical anaesthetic makes treatment comfortable.
Course Recommendations
Optimal results typically require 2-3 initial treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 4-6 months preserve results. This protocol allows gradual, natural improvement.
Treatment Areas
Face
The face remains the most popular treatment area. Skin boosters improve crepey skin on cheeks, soften fine lines, and enhance overall radiance. They're particularly effective for mature or sun-damaged skin.
Neck
The neck's thin skin responds excellently to skin boosters. Treatment improves crepiness and horizontal lines without adding volume that might look unnatural in this delicate area.
Hands
Ageing hands benefit from improved skin quality rather than just volume replacement. Skin boosters enhance texture and hydration, creating younger-looking skin.
Décolletage
This often-neglected area shows dramatic improvement with skin boosters. Sun damage, crepiness, and fine lines all improve with treatment.
Benefits Beyond Hydration
Collagen Stimulation
Skin boosters trigger fibroblast activity, increasing collagen and elastin production. This provides lasting improvement beyond the product's presence.
Improved Skin Tone
Enhanced hydration and cellular activity improve skin luminosity. Many patients report a "glow" that makeup can't replicate.
Texture Refinement
Regular treatments gradually improve skin texture. Pores appear smaller, skin feels smoother, and makeup applies better.
Preventative Effects
Starting skin boosters before significant ageing prevents deterioration. This proactive approach maintains skin quality long-term.
Ideal Candidates
Skin boosters suit various concerns:
Early signs of ageing
Dehydrated, dull skin
Fine lines and crepiness
Acne scarring (mild)
General skin quality improvement
They work across all skin types and ages, though results vary based on baseline skin condition.
Combination Treatments
Skin boosters complement other treatments excellently. They can be combined with:
Botox for dynamic wrinkles
Fillers for volume restoration
Chemical peels for exfoliation
Laser treatments for pigmentation
This comprehensive approach addresses multiple ageing signs simultaneously.
Results Timeline
Initial improvement in hydration appears within days. Optimal results develop over 4-8 weeks as collagen stimulation occurs. With regular treatments, skin quality progressively improves.
Results aren't dramatic but create noticeable enhancement. Patients often report compliments about looking "well" or "refreshed" without obvious treatment signs.
