SKINBOOSTER, Skin hydration

Skinboosters help rehydrate the skin and smooth out superficial fine lines.

Skinboosters, a particular hyaluronic acid.

           The skinboosters represent a category ofhyaluronic acid particular. In fact, it is non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. The non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid in the skinbooster rehydrates the skin and smoothes it. In fact, the molecule of skin booster has the ability to attract up to 100x more water to the skin than its molecular weight.

Initially marketed by the company Galderma under the name Restylane skinbooster, this injection is very popular in aesthetic medicine. Thus, the skinbooster injection carried out on the face, neckline or hands has a real regenerative effect. The effect is less prolonged than a classic hyaluronic acid.

The establishment of a skinbooster treatment allows you to have smoother, more hydrated, brighter skin. We very frequently integrate skinbooster injections into our expert RIVIERAclinic protocols and treatments.

What is the principle of the skinbooster treatment?

   Skinboosters are the new concept in aesthetic medicine. We are in a very superficial action process. This action is coupled with stimulation of the skin tissue but also with a certain form of prevention of aging. We have gotten into the habit of using skinboosters for very moderate fine lines that cannot be corrected by a classic hyaluronic acid that is too bulky.

However, the main indication for skinbooster remains to treat the dermal aspect by dilating fine lines and surface roughness and by a skin hydration mechanism. There is no overcorrected effect and this treatment does not weigh down the treated area. Thus, the facial features are not modified. We always obtain a very natural result with an appearance of healthy glow, freshness and somewhere a dynamic face. We also talk about prevention because in young patients, skin hydration maintains tone.

This is a perfect preventative gesture for people aged 30 whose skin is stressed or stimulated. For more mature skin, an injection of denser skinbooster can be carried out more deeply but always in the superficial part of the skin to cushion the dermis. Thus, the skinbooster provides help when the skin shows a tired, stressed, unmaintained or slightly wrinkled appearance.

It should be noted that hydration and stimulation also help protect against external aggressions such as micropollution, the sun (helioderma is very present in Switzerland) or the cold.

Skinbooster, who is this aesthetic medicine gesture aimed at?

         You will have understood, it is possible to do skinboosting in your thirties but also afterwards. If in your thirties it is an act of prevention and protection, later, the skinbooster allows you to hydrate and regenerate a more youthful appearance of the skin. It should also be noted that from menopause onwards, this treatment becomes obvious because the skin is more dry, stressed and dull.

The skinbooster will therefore correct this element. The skinbooster is also particularly interesting during the changing seasons to protect against variations in winter skin stress due to the cold, or also from the first exposure to the sun.

What areas can be treated with these injections?

The skinbooster stimulates the skin, repairs fine lines and smoothes the skin, it is perfectly indicated first of all for the face. One of the interesting indications for the skinbooster is also the neck and décolleté. Indeed, the skin in this area is generally thinner and the texture can be restored by several skinbooster treatments.

Furthermore, the neck and décolleté are areas usually difficult to treat with other hyaluronic acids which can leave relief when passing the syringe or cannula. Finally, hands that often show age can be favorably plumped and hydrated thanks to this treatment.

In the context of the hands as well as the décolleté, an associated treatment with picosure laser to remove age spots can be perfectly combined. Generally, we separate these two treatments by a few days. The laser can be carried out then a few days later, the skinbooster injections.

Care protocol. 

          There are many skinbooster formulations depending on the brand and laboratory. Furthermore, the skinboosters have been divided into 2 categories, a skinbooster for the last millimeter of rehydrating surface but which has no density and an intermediate skinbooster which must be injected very slightly deeper which gives firmer support.

This involves carrying out an injection every 3 to 4 weeks at a rate of 3 to 4 injections. This is why it may be interesting to take a package for this treatment. Then, the duration of action of the skinbooster being 4 to 6 months, two maintenance sessions will be carried out during the year. After 1 year, the protocol must be started again. Note, however, that over the years, there is a real cumulative effect of the cures and that the visible result is maintained for a longer period.

        Thus, skinboosters Vital Light, skinbooster Vital, Stylage Hydro, Stylage Hydromax could become essential in your skin beautification or prevention strategy as well as for small final touches when you carry out hyaluronic acid injections at Dr Smarrito as well. on the face, hands, neckline and sometimes even on the lips.

Le cost of treatment is from 500 chf. It is ideal to make cures of 2 to 5 sessions. A precise quote will be given to you for consultation depending on the number of zones, number of sessions and the expected effect conditioning the product used as a skinbooster.
