Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Booster

Navigate through our detailed FAQ section on Skin Boosters to address all your questions and uncertainties.

Discover what these treatments can offer, how they work, and the beneficial effects they can bring to your skin’s health and appearance.

What are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are treatments that enhance skin hydration, texture, and elasticity. They involve micro-injections of hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve its overall quality. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to specific facial areas, skin boosters focus on increasing the skin’s hydration and smoothness. A consultation with our specialists is advised to determine suitability for your specific skin needs.

What areas can be treated?

Technically, any body part could benefit from the skin boosters. Common areas that are treated include: face, neck/décolletage, body (arms, hands, knees etc.).

Does it hurt?

Skin boosters are rarely painful, however, may cause some discomfort. We regularly apply a local anaesthetic cream to the area of interest to minimize the discomfort.

Additionally, some skin boosters contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic to help with pain control throughout the injections.

How long until the results show?

A period of 2 weeks should be allowed for the skin booster to take effect and for the swelling and residual bruising to subside.

How long do the results last?

This depends on several different factors, namely: which areas are treated, type of product used, patient demographics and physical activity (regular exercise increases metabolism which would lead to quicker breakdown). Initially, skin boosters are recommended to be injected in 2-3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatment will often be required by topping-up at the 6-8 month mark.
