Hydration skin Boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid injected into the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizing factor found in the skin, muscles, and joints. This ensures deep and natural hydration of the skin from within. Skin boosters are injected into the papillary dermis where they activate the fibroblast cells. This fibroblast stimulation promotes new collagen and elastin formation, which in turn results in smooth, plump, glowing, and healthy-looking skin. This skin rejuvenation treatment can be applied on the face, neck, decollate, and hands for improved hydration, texture, and glow.
Its benefits – Hydration Skin boosters use hyaluronic acid that helps to stimulate collagen and increase elastin that reduces due to aging, sun exposure, and other environmental damage. It helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, pores, and wrinkles. When hyaluronic acid is injected, it provides instant hydration and even cushioning, depending on the type of molecule used. Once it enters the skin or tissue, it plumps it up and absorbs more water. This helps it stay that way for long, as it naturally degrades and absorbs into the body.
Effect and duration – The effect of the treatment lasts for over 10 to 15 months depending on the number of treatments and the hydration status of the skin, again it depends on the molecule used. You get to see the results instantly as well as it peak over a few weeks. It is great for correcting volume loss, especially on the face, neck, and hands. It is used to treat dark circles, rejuvenate and plump lips, and correct volume loss in cheeks.
Side effects – Skin boosters are safe for all ages and skin types. While they are most ideal for dry and mature skin types. The treatment is safe for everyone, but diabetics will need to have the treatment under antibiotic cover to prevent infection, people on anticoagulants or other medication may experience mild redness or bruising but that is manageable if you follow the doctor’s advice. Anyone who suffers from dry skin or volume loss on their face, or wants a different nose, or defined lips without surgery, can go for this.
