Skinboosters

Skinboosters use a stabilised synthetic, non-animal version of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural ingredient found in the skin that is essential to maintain healthy skin hydration. Each treatment involves a series of hydrating microinjections of long-lasting, stabilised HA – this soft, gel-like substance absorbs water and brings deep skin hydration to the treatment areas to boost firmness, elasticity and smoothness.

Skinboosters are an excellent option to give your skin a wonderful, healthy radiance in the face, neck, hands, and decolletage. They can also significantly improve the appearance of acne scars or sun-damaged skin.

The results of this treatment are progressive, so you will notice subtle and natural-looking improvements to your skin in the days, weeks and months following your treatment. These positive changes to your skin condition should last for between six and 12 months.

To enjoy the optimum results, we will usually recommend that you receive one start-up course of three sessions approximately two to four weeks apart, followed by regular maintenance sessions every six months.

The Restylane® range of products, including Skinboosters, has been widely investigated and shown to have an excellent safety record. Restylane® has been used in over 28 million aesthetic treatments worldwide and has been a trusted brand for more than two decades. However, no treatment is without potential side effects.

After a treatment with Skinboosters it is common to experience some mild redness, itching, pain, swelling, tenderness or discolouration at the injection site – these symptoms usually self-correct within 24 to 48 hours. Some patients report noticing some temporary lumpiness at the injection site.

Your skin may look red and swollen or feel tender and itchy immediately after your treatment. You should avoid touching the treated area for at least six hours, after which you can apply light make-up and gently wash your face with soap and water. We recommend that you wear a high factor sunblock (SPF 30 or above) and avoid sun exposure. You should steer clear of extreme temperatures until the initial swelling and redness have resolved – this means no saunas, sunbathing, solariums or extreme cold.

We will give you more detailed aftercare instructions when you have your treatment, so you know exactly what to expect and how to follow our recommendations for the best outcomes. We’re always at the end of the phone if you have any questions or concerns before or after your treatment.
