What is skinbooster?
Skinbooster is an injectable hyaluronic acid procedure that deeply hydrates the skin and delivers results far superior to those achieved with cosmetics, as it works on the deeper layers of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to attract and retain water, resulting in intensive skin hydration. This procedure not only hydrates the skin but also stimulates dermal restructuring, slightly increasing firmness and supporting collagen production – an essential protein for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and structure.
What is skinbooster used for?
Skinboosters were developed with the main goal of providing the skin with a healthier glow through deep hydration. However, the collagen stimulation resulting from the application of hyaluronic acid may also lead to a reduction in:
- Signs of aging;
- Wrinkles and other imperfections;
- Dark circles under the eyes;
- Acne marks.
How does skinbooster work?
Skinbooster consists of the application of injectable hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and radiance.
The hyaluronic acid is injected at multiple points in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin) using a very fine needle or a microcannula. The procedure is minimally invasive and generally well tolerated, with the option of applying a topical anesthetic for greater comfort.
Application Areas
Skinbooster can be applied to almost any area showing signs of dehydration, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, with the face, neck, décolletage, and hands being the most commonly treated areas.
Face
- Full face (as a global revitalization treatment)
- Malar region (cheekbones)
- Nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth)
- Perioral region (fine lines around the mouth)
- Periocular region (fine lines, “crow’s feet”)
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Forehead (superficial wrinkles and texture improvement)
Neck and décolletage
- Horizontal neck lines (“necklace lines”)
- Roughness and loss of firmness in the décolletage
Other body areas (less common)
- Hands (rejuvenation and texture improvement)
- Arms (sagging and thin skin)
- Knees and abdomen (when the skin is thin and dehydrated)
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid, during the first 24 hours:
-
Intense physical activities
-
Direct and prolonged sun exposure
-
Sauna, swimming pool, and beach
It is common to experience swelling or redness in the treated area, which usually subsides naturally within about 24 hours.
Expected Results
Skinbooster provides deep and long-lasting hydration to the skin, reaching areas where creams and cosmetics cannot. Over the course of the sessions, you may notice:
-
Greater radiance and vitality, giving the skin a healthier and fresher appearance
-
Reduction of fine lines and signs of aging, with visible improvement in skin texture
-
Softening of dark circles and acne marks, making the skin more even
-
Increased firmness and elasticity, thanks to the stimulation of collagen production
The first results usually appear, on average, 1 month after starting the treatment. For a complete effect, at least 3 sessions are recommended, with results that can last from 6 months to 1 year, depending on each individual.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is it suitable for?
Skinboosters are recommended for patients who want to increase the brightness and firmness of their facial skin.
The procedure is versatile and can be applied to men and women of different ages and skin types.
Is Skinbooster a filler?
No. The hyaluronic acid injected in this treatment is low density. Simply put, the density or molecular weight of hyaluronic acid can affect its viscosity and ability to penetrate the skin. Low-density hyaluronic acid is more fluid and less viscous compared to higher-density forms, allowing it to spread more easily and be absorbed more superficially into the skin. This makes it ideal for deep hydration and improving skin quality without adding volume, unlike higher-density forms, which are often used in dermal fillers designed to add volume or alter facial contours.
How long is the treatment and how many sessions are needed?
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes. We recommend 3 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart.
When can results can be expected?
Results appear about 1 month after the first session.
In which situations is Skinbooster not recommended?
The treatment is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and people with an allergy to hyaluronic acid.
