Skin boosters – is it right for you?

The “secret” to looking refreshed with naturally dewy skin.

Skin boosters are a revolutionary approach to rejuvenating and enhancing the skin's texture and hydration. Unlike traditional dermal fillers or botox, skin boosters are designed to provide deep hydration and stimulate collagen production, promoting a natural and refreshed look. Here at Dr Selina Clinics in South Woodford East London, Essex, I understand that when traditional injectable treatments such as fillers or Botox® aren’t quite what you're looking for, we can discuss injectable skin boosters to rejuvenate your complexion.

HOW THEY WORK

Skin boosters typically consist of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts and retains moisture. When injected into the skin, these micro-doses of hyaluronic acid work to improve hydration levels and stimulate the production of collagen, the protein responsible for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. The result is plump, radiant, and revitalized skin.

FREQUENCY OF TREATMENTS

The frequency of skin booster treatments can vary based on individual factors such as skin condition, age, and desired outcomes. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. After the initial phase, maintenance treatments can be scheduled every 4-6 months to prolong the benefits.

THE BENEFITS OF SKIN BOOSTERS

  • Hydration Boost: Skin boosters are excellent for enhancing skin hydration, addressing concerns related to dryness and dullness.

  • Collagen Stimulation: By promoting collagen production, skin boosters contribute to improved skin elasticity and firmness.

  • Natural-Looking Results: The subtle and gradual improvement provided by skin boosters ensures a natural appearance without the risk of overfilling or creating an artificial look.

  • Versatility: Skin boosters can be used on various areas of the face, including around the eyes, forehead, and mouth, offering a versatile solution tailored to individual needs.

SIDE EFFECTS & DOWNTIME

Skin booster treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal downtime. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure a smooth recovery.

ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A PROFESSIONAL

Before undergoing skin booster treatments, it's crucial to have a consultation with a qualified aesthetic professional. They will assess your skin condition, discuss your goals, and tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs.
