What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are anti-ageing injectable treatments, full of hyaluronic acid. Skin boosters can give your skin an enhanced, extra dose of hydration and get you one step closer to glowing skin. We gently inject hyaluronic acid to your face which helps in infusing hydrating elements into your skin. It will also plump your skin and lock moisture between skin layers and also avoid signs of ageing.

How Do Skin Boosters Work?

Hyaluronic acid, the molecule that can accumulate up to 1000 times its own weight in water, occurs naturally in our body but levels start to reduce as one starts to grow old. Found in plenty of skincare products that promote short-lived hydration, hyaluronic acid is the most popular type of injectable filler used to fill lines and volumize the skin. Short on time and high on results, boosters give you immediate results after the first sitting itself.

• Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is carefully injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle-reducing and dermal filler treatments, skin boosters stimulate collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin.
• The activity on dermal cells lasts longer as compared to a non-stabilised gel. This period of stimulation four types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid.
