Skin Boosters

Skin Boosting Treatments are a new concept that promote a global improvement of the skin through a series of hyaluronic acid injections into the dermis. The objective of this approach is to increase skin hydration thus delaying and reversing the ageing process and reducing ageing indicators

Every adult skin can be treated however the prime age is between 30-75 years old. In younger clients it can be used to prevent the onset of the ageing process and maintain hydration. In older clients it can be used to improve some already established ageing effects such as laxity, wrinkles, thinning skin and loss of elasticity in variable intensity.

It is a great procedure for those wishing to seek a minimally invasive procedure to improve the appearance of the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is powerful stuff – don’t let the word “acid” fool you. This gel-like water-holding molecule is a moisture-binding ingredient that helps keep skin plump and hydrated.

Hyaluronic Acid helps retain over 1,000 times its weight in water within the cells of skin, making it an excellent moisturizer.

As we age, we lose collagen and hyaluronic acid naturally, so the skin becomes dehydrated more easily. Also, harsh weather, sun exposure, certain skin-care products, and underlying skin conditions can cause tiny breaks in the protective skin barrier, allowing water to escape resulting in dehydrated skin.

The area may be red for 24 hours after the procedure and some bruising or swelling may occur.

You should avoid any physical strain or sports for 24 hours post treatment and stay hydrated by drinking 1-2 litres of water every day.

Avoid the use of sauna, steam rooms, icy temperature or UV radiation for 2 weeks post treatment.

–        Face, chins, periocular area, perioral area, frontal area, lips, acne scars
