Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are tiny aliquots or ‘sprinklings’ of hyaluronic acid injected into the top layers of the skin, intended to replenish hydration, improve light reflection, and smooth the canvas of the skin, without changing the structure or adding volume to the face. The goal of skin boosters is to hydrate the skin from within, improving its overall quality and health.
8 Benefits of Skin Boosters
Depending on the type of skin booster and ingredients some of the potential benefits include:
1. Improved and more radiant complexion
2. Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
3. Healthier skin tone
4. Better hydration – ‘glowing’ skin
5. Firmer skin texture and tone
6. Improved skin elasticity
7. Reduced dry patches
8. Improved overall appearance in skin tone
How many sessions do I need?
How many sessions needed depends on the patient goals- for this reason we recommend a complimentary consultation with our nurses and doctors. Typically we see the best results after 2 treatments, spaced ¾ weeks apart.
