WHAT ARE SKIN BOOSTERS?

​

Skin boosters involve microinjections of hyaluronic acid (HA) under the skin. 

​

HA is a soft, gel-like substance that holds vast amounts of moisture in the skin naturally. It improves the skin’s elasticity, texture, firmness, and radiance by triggering the skin’s repair to produce collagen. In doing so, it improves fine lines and wrinkles, producing firmer and younger looking skin. However, HA depletes with many factors including genetics, age, smoking, sun damage and environmental factors. These are what causes skin to become dry and dehydrated.

 

Skin boosters have been designed to deliver saturating hydration to the deeper dermis. They are a good alternative to more intense treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. These treatments bring a more subtle approach to an aesthetic procedure whilst providing real and valuable benefits to the skin and are suitable for any skin type and patient (aged 18+). 

​

Overall, they are a super versatile skin injection treatment that treats various areas of perceived skin flaws and can be beneficial for all.
