The Science Behind Skin Boosters: How They Work and Who They’re For

Introduction

Skin boosters have gained significant attention in the aesthetics industry as a minimally invasive way to achieve deep hydration and skin rejuvenation. But what exactly are they, and how do they work? In this blog, we’ll explore the science behind skin boosters, their benefits, and who they are best suited for.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid (HA) directly into the skin to enhance hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are designed to add volume and contour, skin boosters work by improving the skin’s texture and appearance from within.

How Do Skin Boosters Work?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain hydration and skin elasticity. However, as we age, our HA levels decline, leading to drier, less resilient skin. When injected, skin boosters attract water to the treated area, providing long-lasting hydration and a youthful glow. Some formulations also contain amino acids, peptides, or antioxidants to further promote skin repair and collagen production.

Benefits of Skin Boosters

• Deep Hydration: Unlike topical skincare, skin boosters work from the inside out, delivering hydration to the deeper layers of the skin.
• Smoother Skin Texture: Fine lines, rough patches, and dullness are reduced, resulting in a more even complexion.
• Enhanced Elasticity: Skin boosters help stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness over time.
• Natural Results: Since they do not add volume, the results are subtle yet effective, enhancing the skin’s natural beauty.

Who Are Skin Boosters Suitable For?

• Individuals with dull, dehydrated skin.
• Those who want a youthful glow without adding volume.
• People experiencing early signs of ageing, such as fine lines and loss of elasticity.
• Anyone seeking a skin-quality boost before a special event.

Treatment Areas

Skin boosters can be used to improve hydration and elasticity in various areas, including:

• Face
• Neck
• Hands
• Décolletage

What to Expect During Treatment

The treatment involves a series of micro-injections across the targeted area. Typically, 2-3 sessions are recommended for optimal results. Some redness and mild swelling may occur post-treatment, but downtime is minimal, making it an excellent option for those with busy lifestyles.

Which One Suits Me Best?

This is an individual choice according to what skin type you have, your tolerance for procedures, any time factors that may have to be considered and of course, your budget. Dr Sarah uses several leading premium brands including PROFHILO, SUNEKOS, and REDENSITY 1.
