Skin boosters ae a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. They work by injecting a hyaluronic based substance, combined with essential vitamins and minerals, into the deep layers of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that can hold a large amount of water, acting as a magnet to attract and retain moisture. The treatment not only replenishes lost moisture but also stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The result is revitalised and hydrated skin with increased firmness and a radiant glow, making skin boosters an effective option for those looking to rejuvenate their complexion without the need for invasive procedures.
Skin boosters provide gradual results due to the natural skin cycle. After the treatment, it may take up to 30 days for the hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and minerals to fully integrate with the skin and showcase their effects. The benefits of skin boosters are not instant but rather develop over time as the skin regenerates and rejuvenates, ensuring beautifully natural results.
To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, a typical skin booster treatment plan involves a series of 3 treatments spaced 3 weeks apart for 3 months. After completing the initial 3-month treatment plan, a follow up maintenance treatment is recommended every 6 or 12 months, depending on individual skin needs.
