As we age, our skin changes, often leading to dehydration, a crepey texture, and a loss of overall skin quality. One crucial element contributing to these skin issues is the gradual loss of hyaluronic acid, a vital component naturally produced in the dermal layer of our skin.
While hyaluronic acid is commonly known as a go-to skincare ingredient for boosting surface hydration, there’s more to this molecule than a quick fix for skin dehydration.
With time and environmental factors, hyaluronic acid begins to decline within the skin, resulting in a loss of plumpness and volume, causing the skin to lose its youthful bounce and appear more wrinkled than it should.
Fortunately, at Select Skin, we now offer Skin Booster treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid precisely where needed most in the dermal layer, with an injectable moisturising treatment known as a Skin Booster treatment.
In this blog post, we’ll share how Skin Booster Injections can be incorporated into your skincare treatment plan to revitalise your skin, effectively combat signs of ageing, and bring back the skin’s natural glow, luminosity and overall improved texture and quality.
Skin Boosters are a type of anti-wrinkle injection treatment that delivers a specialised formulation of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to the deeper layers of the skin via an injecting gun.
Skin Booster treatments are medically prescribed cosmetic procedures and must be administered by a cosmetic doctor or a registered nurse.
Skin Booster treatments are used to improve the overall appearance and health of the skin by enhancing skin quality and texture, improving elasticity, and providing radiant and luminous skin that reflects light to appear more youthful and; with a series of treatments can minimise the appearance of scars and reduce fine lines and wrinkles by activating new collagen within the skin.
A syringe needle with up to 3ml of a specialised hyaluronic formulation is delivered to the skin via a disposable multi-needle injector attached to an injecting gun, typically set to a depth of 1mm to reach the papillary dermal layer of the skin.
We immediately improve skin hydration by injecting hyaluronic acid directly under the epidermis to the papillary dermal layer.
At the same time, we’re activating fibroblast cells to stimulate collagen and elastin and naturally restoring the hyaluronic acid produced within the dermal layer as the injected hyaluronic acid integrates into the zone.
The skin-boosting hyaluronic acid formula remains in the skin for around four to six weeks, ensuring an optimal environment for the fibroblasts to create firmer, smoother, glowing skin.
Skin Booster treatments offer precise depth and dose with minimal pain and downtime. They’re quick and effective, with no product wastage providing an immediate glow to the skin, reflecting light and luminosity, and giving you skin that looks amazing with or without makeup.
Skin Booster treatments are suitable for anyone with dehydrated skin, a loss of elasticity, and those looking to improve skin texture and quality regardless of age or skin type.
Skin Booster treatments can help if:
All our treatments start with a thorough skin consultation where we discuss the current condition of your skin and the suitability for the treatment, pre and post care and any potential side effects.
Generally, we recommend avoiding blood thinners for about a week before your treatment to prevent bruising; however, please consult your doctor before ceasing any medication.
The Skin Booster treatment process involves several steps. First, the skin is cleansed and prepared, and an anaesthetic numbing cream is applied to ensure patient comfort.
Once the skin is ready, the procedure is commenced using the injecting gun, which is adjusted for depth, speed, and vacuum suction.
The hyaluronic acid formula is then delivered to the papillary dermal layer of the skin through intermittent trigger shots.
As the multi-needle attachment punctures the skin, slight bruising and swelling may occur immediately after the procedure.
Bruising and swelling are common side effects and usually resolve within a few days.
We then apply aftercare serums, creams, and protective sunscreen to complete the treatment.
The treatment typically lasts around one hour, with the injecting procedure taking approximately 20 minutes.
Skin Booster treatments offer ongoing rejuvenation; the best results can be achieved with a series of treatments. We’ll advise you on how many treatments you’ll require during your initial skin consultation; generally, we recommend at least two treatments four to five weeks apart for the best possible results.
Skin booster treatments are minimally invasive, and their gradual and long-lasting effects make them an excellent choice if you’re seeking natural and subtle skin rejuvenation.
Skin Booster treatments provide immediate hydration to improve the skin’s overall appearance.
With a series of treatments, the results are impressive, with many patients finding the overall quality and texture of the skin will continue to improve over time, with a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity.
We recommend Skin Booster treatments for anyone looking for improved skin quality and texture with restored skin elasticity and results lasting up to 12 months.
