There is a growing trend towards boosting skin health for facial rejuvenation, and this is something we have always encouraged here at The Face Place.
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to enhance skin health by delivering deep hydration to the dermal layers, while stimulating your bodies natural collagen and elastin production to restore skin health for a more radiant, rejuvenated complexion. The brands of skin boosters we currently offer are Profhilo, Skinvive, Viscoderm and Sunekos.
How do skin boosters work?
Micro droplets of hyaluronic acid are injected into the top layers of the skin to replenish hydration, improve light reflection, and smooth the canvas of the skin without adding volume or changing the structure of the face. Hyaluronic acid is a moisture magnet and naturally occurs in our skin. As we age, both hyaluronic acid and collagen levels gradually diminish, and our skin becomes lax, dehydrated and dull. Skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, and a blend of amino acids, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals to provide deep hydration and nourishment to the skin on a cellular level.
How are skin boosters different to traditional dermal fillers?
While both dermal filler and skin boosters are both made from hyaluronic acid, skin boosters are a lot more fluid and are injected superficially over a large area of the skins surface in multiple small injections to restore hydration, improve skin quality and skin health. Dermal fillers are thicker gels injected into a deeper layer in specific areas to restore volume, definition and contour.
What areas can be treated?
The most common areas to treat are the face and neck, but skin boosters can also treat the décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, hands and knees.
