SKIN BOOSTERS

Which skin booster should I choose?
As the name suggests, a skin booster is an injectable treatment that aims to improve the overall appearance and quality of the skin. A skin booster is an umbrella term for lots of different types of products. These treatments offer a multitude of benefits, from hydration and radiance to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters do not add extra volume to the face, although the complexion may appear smoother and firmer as a result of adding deep hydration below the skin’s surface.
 
Every year we lose approx 1% of our collagen meaning the skin will become more aged and less elasticated. There are multiple Skin Boosters on the market and these are made up of hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins and polynucleotides which hydrate the skin and slow down the ageing process. Amino acids are building blocks for new proteins, amino acids help to build new collagen which is a protein that maintains the strength and structure of the skin. Amino acids are present in skin boosters such as Sunekos & Teoxane Redensity 1 and are stronger boosters for more aged skin. These boosters also contain hyaluronic acid & vitamins. Profhilo & Seventy hyal are made of hyaluronic acid and are injectable moisturisers made to intensely hydrate the skin and give you a natural glow. Polynucleotides are in a league of their own and are been referred to as a form of “regenerative medicine”. Think of polynucleotides as food and medicine for your skin, polynucleotides should be used alongside boosters for optimal results and to improve skin overall health. Polynucleotides repair damaged DNA in the skin and improve multiple skin issues. Polynucleotides usually require multiple sessions.
Skin boosters are a great add-on to dermal fillers & anti wrinkle treatments but also suitable to be used alone. Skin boosters usually require a course of treatment ranging from 2-6 treatments.
