Skin Boosters

Skin boosters are the ideal treatment for anyone wanting to transform the health and appearance of their skin. Widely known in the press as ‘revolutionary injectable moisturizer’ skin boosters have seen a huge growth in popularity in recent times, with clients becoming more interested in looking after their skin to a greater extent.

Skin boosters are mostly made up of Hyaluronic Acid, which occurs naturally in our skin but depletes with signs of ageing. As the effects of the treatment take effect, you will benefit from plumper, brighter and more smooth skin with signs of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging reduced.

At The Hertfordshire Aesthetics Clinic, we offer a broad range of skin booster treatments. During your consultation, your skin will be assessed and your concerns and treatment goals discussed. We offer skin boosters to suit different ages, skin types and skin concerns.

FAQs

How do skin boosters work?

Skin boosters are revolutionary in the way they are able to trasnform the skin through what is known as ‘bio-remodelling.’ Bio-remodelling involves the injection of small amounts of non-cross linked hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals into areas of skin lacking elasticity, strength and structure.

How many treatments will I need?

We offer various skin boosters which all have different protocols of treatment. Whilst you may see results after one treatment, more often than not, two sessions are recommended.

How long do the results last?

Results from most skin boosting treatments last between 6 – 12 months, with longevity increasing as you ‘top-up’ with maintenance treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended once every 6 months.

What will my skin look like immediately after treatment?

Following the treatment, you may experience some slight redness around the treatment area, which should subside within a few days. You can look forward to glowing, more youthful looking skin over the course of the weeks following treatment!

How can I prepare for a skin booster treatment?

A week prior to your treatment, avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil supplements as these may increase bleeding and bruising. However, if you are taking any prescribed medicines, including aspirin, do not stop taking them. Instead chat with your GP first. It is also recommended to avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment.

Is there anything I should avoid after a skin booster treatment?

Your practitioner will give you proper aftercare advice following treatment, but here are a few things to be aware of after the treatment. After skin boosters, alcohol should be avoided for a minimum of 24 hours. You should also avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure and excessive touching or massaging of the area for 1-2 days post treatment. It is important that you keep hydrated by drinking lots of water following treatment.
