Gentle Hydration, Firmness, and Lasting Luminosity with Bio-Remodellers and Skin Boosters
Collagen production in our skin slows as we age, with most adults losing up to 20% of their natural collagen by the time they’re 40.
Skin boosters contain a very soft hyaluronic acid -an injectable moisturiser normally present in skin. This offers intense hydration from within the skin, along with remodelling of the tissue to rebuild collagen and combat signs of aging. Results are usually visible within a few days but realistically a course of treatments is recommended to see noticeable, long-lasting results.
Skin Boosters or Bio-remodelling injections provide intense hydration from within the skin along with remodelling of the soft tissue to combat aging signs.
Common areas treated are the face, neck and hands. It also great for treating superficial lines and wrinkles such as crow’s feet (around the eyes) and ‘smoker’s lines’ (around the lips).
Skin boosters are a perfect solution for those concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, loss of hydration and elasticity.
Skin boosting and Bio-remodelling treatments work from within the skin layers to restore hydration, improve texture and increase firmness. Natural acids attract water to improve the internal hydration levels of the skin, while also stimulating fibroblast cells to produce new collagen and elastin. Both treatments work on skin texture and fine lines, while reaching the deeper layers of the skin, helping it retain water, resulting in a plump, well-hydrated appearance.
Depending on your skin condition, age, lifestyle and use of supporting skin care, peak results are usually seen around the two month mark. It is worth noting that with some skin booster treatments, two treatments are required 4 weeks apart. The results last about 6-9 months and we generally recommend that you have a follow up treatment to maintain your results.
An anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated to ensure maximum comfort. A series of tiny injections using a very thin short needle are made into the skin of the targeted area. The treatment is relatively comfortable and takes around 20-30 minutes. Some superficial blebs may be visible immediately after but tend to settle within the next few hours. As with any treatment involving injections, there is a risk of bruising and swelling – although the risk is lower than most treatments given the size of the needle and the depth being targeted. Expect to see improved hydration within 5 days and then a tighter, more radiant skin over the following weeks as the re-modelling process starts.
