The non- invasive treatments can give us a younger look and delay or even eliminate the need for invasive treatments, like lifting. Muscle relaxers, hyalouronic acid fillers, autologous mesotherapy (ACR), mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid and vitamin cocktails and threads, are the most popular treatments.
But there is another one not that well-known: the skinboosters. The 9 question that follow can give us answers on how they work and what they can do.
What are skinboosters?
Skinboosters, are usually hyaluronic acid products used for skin loosening by activating the skin’s collagen production. They are injected into the skin, and make it firmer.
How are they different from other injectable products?
Skinboosters, "tissue stimulants", unlike the classic injectable fillers used to fill wrinkles, are injectable products that cause a biological reaction on the skin to produce collagen and elastin, improving its texture and firmness.
When is this treatment recommended?
Skinboosters are recommended every time we wish to boost the skin’s elasticity, combined with deep hydration. They are applied to dull, dehydrated skin, because this treatment can ensure glow. It also treats fine lines on cheeks and the mild smoker’s lines. It is an excellent treatment for the décolletage lines and the dorsal surface of the hands.
Skinboosters are the ideal treatment for women going through pre-menopause or menopause, as their skin becomes saggy significantly - due to estrogen depletion. Also in younger women who are highly exposed to the sun or have genetically dry skin with fine lines.
Are skinboosters sufficient as an anti-aging treatment?
A reasonable question would be whether a woman can choose skinboosters as her only anti-aging treatment. I would say that each case is unique. One should always take into account her age, the ageing of the skin, the anatomical features of her face. In a woman skinboosters can bring spectacular results and she can continue with this treatment for a long time. In another, it can be combined with one or some of the other non-invasive treatments.
Which treatments can be combined with skinboosters?
Skinboosters can be combined with muscle relaxers, mesotherapy, injectable hyaluronic acid fillers, fractional laser, PDO threads, Radiofrequencies, ensuring truly impressive results.
The combination of these treatments is known to significantly delay the signs of ageing, and in some cases can make a woman look even a decade younger.
How is the treatment applied?
With a very fine needle, the material is injected deep into the skin. Over the next few days, there is an improvement in skin texture and glow. In some cases, small bruises can develop that recede quickly.
Are there any side effects?
Sometimes, mild bruises might appear which subside very quickly, while the possibility of allergy is almost unlikely.
How many sessions are required?
We usually recommend two to three sessions, one per month.
How long do the results last?
The effect of the treatment last between 6-12 months. Even after this time, the skin will not return to its previous state. Its quality is clearly improved. We usually recommend a maintenance session, every six to twelve months.
